HERRINGS The state Comptrollers Office has found there was a lack of oversight by the village Board of Trustees over its clerk-treasurer.
The comptrollers office recently concluded an audit that monitored the villages financial operations from June 1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2012.
The audit concluded the former clerk-treasurer did not create or maintain cash journals, general ledgers or subsidiary revenue and expenditure ledgers and did not provide a monthly budget-to-actual report.
Although the board received monthly verbal reports on cash balances, there were no periodic, accurate reports from which the board could effectively monitor the villages financial activities, the report stated.
The Board did not establish compensating controls over the clerk-treasurers financial duties, the audit stated.
Without oversight by the board, the opportunity for misappropriation of village funds was available.
The former clerk-treasurer did not complete monthly bank reconciliations and she paid claims before they were audited and approved by the board, the audit stated. In addition, the treasurers records have not been audited since at least 2007. The comptrollers report states annual audits would have identified the serious deficiencies in the accounting records.
In response, Mayor Richard A. Beirman said he and the current clerk-treasurer, Nancy Gerber, were attending accounting classes offered through the state comptrollers office at BOCES in Canton. The board is also creating a plan of action to comply with the comptrollers suggestions.
I feel good about the audit, Mr. Beirman said. I expected the comments and remarks about the accounting and plan to correct the accounting errors.
He said Ms. Gerber has found unpaid Internal Revenue Service bills for quarterly payments to the state for Social Security, which she has paid along with late payment fines.
Shes right on the ball and already corrected many mistakes, Mr. Beirman said.
The board has now adopted the practice of checking the monthly receipts and signing off on the bill prior to payment.
He also noted all the village funds were accounted for.
The audit also found fault in a sale of village property to Mr. Beirman for $500 in 2012. The comptrollers report said no evidence was found that the village advertised or solicited offers on the property sold to the mayor, that an appraisal was done, or that they otherwise took any steps to determine the market value of the property.
The sold 0.16 acre parcel is a corner lot with 133 feet of road frontage on Route 3 and 51 feet of road frontage on First Street. According to information in the audit, the land was one of five separate parcels transferred to the village from a now defunct paper company in 1958. The state comptrollers document states a 0.09 acre parcel was sold to another village resident in 2001 for $1,000.
Mr. Beirman said he could now see where the board was at fault in the approval of the sale from which he recused himself from voting.
There is still another 0.14 acre of village owned land from the original 1958 sale.
Mr. Beirman said in the future, proper procedure would be followed to ensure sales are in the best interest of the taxpayers.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and so many couples may be reflecting on the status of their relationship. If you aren't already over-thinking what every little thing your partner does (or doesn't do) this season means, here is yet another way in which you can dissect the quality of your relationship during your romantic evening. Or, at the very least, this might give you something interesting to talk about with your date when you realize you have nothing in common but already paid for two overpriced three-course Valentine's Day meals.
According to recent research on the language of couples, the words used when a couple discusses their relationship can be indicative of their satisfaction in the relationship and its longevity. In studies looking at daily Instant Messaging conversations between couples, researchers found that the pronouns used most could predict both satisfaction with a partner and the likelihood that the relationship would still be intact 6 months later. For women, their use of "I" was most related to satisfaction with their partner. But men's use of "me" suggested a small negative relationship with their partner's satisfaction with them. Although negative emotion words had no relation to satisfaction or stability, the use of positive emotion words by men was related to increased satisfaction for both partners and an increased chance of relationship survival.
There is other research suggesting that the use of "I" can be beneficial over "you" because "you" can be blaming while "I" is self-reflective, but this research shows that there may be gender differences between the perception of and meaning behind pronoun choice. Furthermore, the researchers suggest that word choice by couples is context dependent. Using "you" when discussing the relationship is very different from the use of "you" in normal everyday conversation.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Try not to spend the whole evening with your date (if you are lucky enough to have one) counting their "you"s and "I"s.

It's billed commercially as the day of love; it was he day that special someone is supposed to give of the heart.
But it is also a day of friendship and of showing it, particularly when it comes elementary schools. For many, many years kids have brought their Valentines from home and distributed them to their friends and classmates.
Last Thursday, students in schools did just that. They brought their bags and their boxes in which they carried precious cargo created at home for their classes. They also hoped to get a great deal of friendship in return. The red and white day turned out tremendously across Carbon School District.
In the adult world, Sunday was Valentines and it was a day for lovers or to show those that have given their lives to one a certain amount of gratitude. However most people celebrated it on Saturday. Restaurants were busy, and some of the local lodging facilities offered specials for those that wanted a romatic evening.
Some people left town, going to places like Salt Lake, Provo and Grand Junction to celebrate the special day.
Still others celebrated at home by sending flowers, buying chocolates and cards or just having a day out together.
It was a break in what is often the bleakest part of the winter for many people and love was in the air.

PRINCETON, N.J. Two goals in the final 5 minutes, 30 seconds of the game led the Clarkson mens team to a 3-2 win over Princeton in an ECAC Hockey contest at the Hobey Baker Rink Friday night.
Clarkson (8-14-7 overall, 7-7-3 conference) was trailing the Tigers 2-1 after two periods but tied the game with a goal from Simon Bessette, off a wrist shot at the top of the circle, at 14 minutes, 30 seconds of the third period.
Princetons Rob Kleebaum was called for tripping 37 seconds after the goal and Clarkson freshman T.J. Moor scored on the ensuing power play on a shot from the bottom of the circle at 16:53 to give the Golden Knights the win.
Prior to Fridays game Clarkson had been 0-11-2 when trailing after two periods.
I thought we played a pretty-good game from start to finish, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. I thought we were good in all aspects of our pregame preparation.
Clarkson was coming off a 6-2 loss at home to Rensselaer last Saturday, a game where it was down 6-0 before the halfway point.
But the Golden Knights had the better of Princeton (9-11-4, 7-7-3) throughout Fridays game, outshooting the Tigers 38-27 and taking only two penalties.
After a scoreless first period Matt Zarbo gave Clarkson a 1-0 lead just 81 seconds into the second with a goal on a shot that went off the back of the leg of Tigers goalie Sean Bonar. Jarrett Burton assisted on the play.
But the Tigers responded by scoring two goals just 2:39 apart to take the lead heading into the final period.
Kleebaum scored first at 10:33, putting in a shot off the back of the leg of Clarkson goalie Greg Lewis. Michael Sdao gave Princeton the lead when he scored at 13:12.
I was anxious to watch (Lewis) to see how he mentally responded from that, Jones said. He had to show his resolve there to bounce back from that and he did. He made a great shoulder save in the third which was big.
Fridays win was Clarksons third straight over the Tigers and gives the Golden Knights a sweep of the season series. Clarkson also moved into a three-way tie for sixth place in the conference with Dartmouth and Princeton. Clarkson is just one point behind St. Lawrence University and Union and only two points behind Yale and Rensselaer, who are tied for second.

Nice but multi-hour assembly
It took my adult daughter and I over 3 hours to get this put together and a couple of the screws just wouldn't screw in all of the way. The top drawer is a little crooked but by the time you are putting the drawers in, there is no thought of returning this thing! Top is solid and it looks and works good so we'll keep it in spite of crooked drawer. I have no idea how to resolve this and can't return it now.Read More
The packaging was horrible. The box was opened in several spots and all of the internal packaging was ripped to pieces. It took just as long to clean up as it did to setup. The instructions weren't clear and a couple of the pieces were damaged. The materials used are not high quality and this item was definitely not worth the money.Read More
Good but not great
Pretty flimsy. Good for what we need and for this one apartment. I don't think it is going to travel to our next place very well. But worth the money I think.Read More
Almost 4 hours later....
Perfect furniture for people who love puzzles. Two engineers, a carpenter, and almost 4 hours later we had a kitchen cart. Directions were clear enough though. Really, you're paying for the solid wood top which is fine by me. Drawers slide easily, shelves accommodate handles of booze, and size is perfect for the space. Did I mention it took over 3 hours to assemble this?Read More
I hope you know carpentry smh...
Quick Review (and detailed review below) This is worth the money if you know how to use critical thinking when it comes to building stuff. Some screw holes will be the wrong size, shelf railings put incorrectly and so on. Great size. Love the collapsable cutting board/table. Bottom line, save your money if you're looking for an easy build that'll take very little time. However, if u know your way around a hammer (AND have help), or you're willing to hire someone, then buy it. Details Below: As soon as i opened the package, i noticed, what i thought might have been, a broken shelf or cabinet wall. I figured the shipping was responsible, so i remained positive. I do an items check and make sure i have all the parts. Start following the directions. Steps 1-3 were easy. Heres where i have the issue: Steps 4-6 require you to build a great portion of the cabinet, with the use of only dowels!(the cylinder wooden things) Even with a second person, its impossible since there arent any screws holding other parts in place. Also, dowels usually have a tight fit. These dowels (or holes) were the wrong size!, making the dowels fall out, thus, parts wouldnt stay together. I had to skip to the ending, to see when in the instructions will i be using screws again. At the end of the day I had to put it together my way and not the instructions. Aside from the poor instructions and poorly sized dowel holes, The door hinges werent misaligned by about an INCH!!! I had to drill new holes, and make measurements. All in all, this coulda been a fun build. I built it alone and it took me a very long time since i had to do a lot of improvisation. I am happy with the end product, however, i am not happy I paid over 300 dollars for this. Thats actually what made me work so hard at it, to protect my investment. :-) Oh..and one more thing, you will need tools. I used a hammer, screw driver (drill) allen key, you might need wood glue if you plan on building alone, just please use caution, or use a tiny bit, just enough for the dowels to gain enough friction to stay in place. Good luck.Read More
Kitchen Cart
This kitchen cart is very nice to look at but not very sturdy. Will work well in a stationary fashion but do not recommend moving around frequently.Read More
After one year, it remains in great condition!
This cart was a great value for the quality and price of this unit. We researched many carts before purchasing this one. Most of them ranged from $xxx to $xxx. We paid about $xxx for this unit. After it was put together, I wondered how the drawers and doors would hold up to being repeatedly being opened and closed. To our delight, it looks as good one year after we purchased it than it did upon receipt There has been no chipping of paint and the aspen wood counter still looks brand new. Thank you, Overstock, for providing such a great product at a great price!Read More
fabrication is not correct
I am very experienced at building but this unit is not built correctly. Don't know if the company started doing something different or not but there are 10 screws labeled part "F" that are supposed to attach to the and bottom front and back rails to the sides and also the top board to the top rails. 3 of these screws work great but the other seven feel like they are a different thread pitch and will not attach. I sent the unit back and got a replacement but it had the same issue with the same mounting points (same 3 screw holes worked great, same 7 would not work at all). Contacted customer service who indicated new part would be sent but all that was sent was the same screws which had the same issues.Read More

storage space & price
Good reviews
Small but spacious and cute with good price
Reviews and flexibility of use in combination of its size and price.
It was what I was looking for and what I could afford.
Had seen before and need work spaces
I chose this item because of color, size and space.
Replacing a fixed kitchen island with a rolling island in order to gain a more open kitchen. Wanted something with something that had large cabinet area for pans and a leaf to have good counter space when needed but folds down when not needed.
I needed expanded counter space in a little studio condo I was fixing up to get ready to sell. I wanted something classy looking, not over large, affordable and functional. This seem to fit the bill. I'm hoping the assembly won't be a huge hassle. Fingers crossed.
Are there legs you can put on the bottom instead of wheels?
Hello christi136, this item is not currently offered with legs instead of wheels. Thank you for shopping with us.
What are the dimensions without the towel rack and spice rack? Thanks!
Hello acollins, this is approximately 53.75 inches wide without the towel rack and spice rack. Thanks for shopping with us!
Hello, what is the width from the cabinet edge to the drawer edge?
Hello debmiran, that would be 13.5 inches. Have a great day!
Can this be assembled without the spice rack to make it a little smaller, or would it show that it wasn't on?
Hello bella413, yes, you can choose to assemble without the spice rack. Thanks for shopping with us!
Does this item include legs as well as the casters, or is there an option to order legs?
Hello kayb25, unfortunately, the Black/ Natural Aspen 3-drawer Kitchen Cart comes only as shown. Please let us know if you have any further question.
I would like to trim the top in order to fit an area in my kitchen. Is it a solid wood top that can be cut down?
Hello cindycounter, the top of the Aspen 3-drawer Kitchen Cart is made from rubber wood, which is solid wood. The rest of the cabinet is made from engineered wood, which is made of a mixture of wood held together with adhesives. I hope this helps! Thank you for shopping with us!
Is this color a solid black or just very dark? Thanks
Hello pboulwar, the color is solid black. Have a great day!
Would this product stay flush to the wall or does the dropleaf prevent that? How are the wheels? Do they lock well?
Hello rarnold01, Hope you are doing well. This will not sit flush it will be about a half inch away from the wall. The wheels do lock. Have a great day!
It stays pretty flush to the walls. The wheels are study and very nice and they lock very well.
What assembly is required with this
This requires item does require a bit of assembly as it has 22 parts. If you read the reviews, they indicate different experiences of customers putting this item together.
It took the wife and I a few hours to get this thing together but ended up not getting the bottoms for the drawers in the package. Overstock got us the parts in a little over a week.
it was not to hard took about an hour 2 people
I think this item needs a video, youtube or something to help put it together. Things are not lining up correctly. Hard to put together. 8 hours later and still not together yet.
My son in law put this together for me but I am pretty sure I could have done it myself. I am a 64 year old woman. The instructions with it were very good and all parts were separated and labeled.
what are the width dimension of this cart without the holders on each side? thanks!
Kitchen cart top dimensions (without drop leaf): 53.75 inches wide x 18 inches deep

You don't see Linzertortes often on this side of the Atlantic because the Linzer cookie is so much easier to make and delivers the same wonderful interplay of flavors. With its snowy dusting of confectioners' sugar and glistening red raspberry jam filling, which peeks out from the center of the sandwich cookie, it definitely screams "holiday."
YIELD: Makes about 30 cookies
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/2 hours
TOTAL TIME: 3 hours
- 1/2 cup whole natural almonds (with skins)
- Buttery Sugar Cookie dough recipe with adjustments and additions
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam or red currant jelly
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
- Special equipment: Wax paper; parchment paper; 2 large baking sheets; 3-inch and 1-inch fluted round cookie cutters
Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Spread almonds on a small rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrantly toasty and nuts are golden on the inside (cut one open). Turn off oven. Cool almonds completely (you can speed this up by putting them in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes).
Grind nuts with 1/2 cup of flour from cookie recipe in a food processor until finely ground, then transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 cups flour from recipe and whisk in cinnamon.
Follow the rest of the Buttery Sugar Cookie dough recipe to make the Linzer dough. Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in wax paper, shaping each half into a flattened rectangle, then store each in a resealable plastic bag. Chill dough until firm, at least 2 hours.
Heat oven again to 350°F with rack in middle. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
While oven heats, roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining dough chilled) between two large sheets of wax paper to 1/8 inch thick. (If dough becomes too soft to roll out, quick-chill on a baking sheet in the freezer or chill in the refrigerator until firm.)
Peel back top sheet of wax paper and cut out as many 3-inch cookies with cutter as possible. Then cut 1-inch openings in the center of half the cookies. Transfer cookies, as cut, to a lined baking sheet, arranging them 1 inch apart. (If dough becomes too soft to remove the cookies, quick-chill the dough in freezer or chill in refrigerator again on a baking sheet.)
Gather, reroll, and chill scraps to form more cookies.
Freeze or chill cut-out cookies on baking sheet until firm before baking.
Bake cookies, one sheet at time, until edges are golden, 6 to 9 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheet 2 minutes. Transfer cookies with a metal spatula to a rack to cool completely.
Repeat with remaining piece of dough. (Cool sheets and use fresh parchment for subsequent batches.)
Spread about 1 teaspoon jam on all the solid round cookies (without holes). Lightly dust rings (cookies with holes) with confectioners' sugar using a wire-mesh sieve.
Set rings over jam to form sandwiches.
Cooks' Notes:
For the cleanest edges, keep freezing or chilling the dough between the sheets of wax paper whenever it gets soft, and freeze or chill the cut out cookies before baking them.
Cookies keep in an airtight container in single layers, separated by wax paper, in a cool place 5 days.

LYNDON–After three close quarters, the North Country girl's basketball team shook loose for seventeen fourth quarter points en-route to a 42-25 win over the Lyndon Institute Vikings.
The Falcons weren't helped out at all by the officials, as they had four players with four fouls by game's end.
"It is tough to adjust to officials when they change the way they are calling the game mid-way through," mused coach Christiane Brown.
Early on, the refs were letting the girls play a fairly physical style of B-ball, but by the end, as Brown puts it, "they were calling some real ticky-tack stuff."
Michaela Stanley, Anna Bingham, Hollie Smith and Desiree Coffin were the four players in foul trouble for the Falcons.
The one starter who did not reach the four-foul marker was Britni Jewer, who fell just shy of the double-double, scoring nine while grabbing eleven boards.
"This was Britni's best game of the year," said Brown. "She did a tremendous job and I am especially happy with her defense and her rebounding."
Coffin led North Country in scoring with thirteen points, and added six steals.
Bingham had ten points and eight steals, while Stanley had six rebounds.
The win moves the girls to 3-0, while LI stands at 0-4.
Next on the schedule is a trip to Jericho to face Mount Mansfield on Thursday.
Tip-off is at 6:30.

News and Upcoming Events
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) are implementing a revised Biographical Sketch format. The new format can be used on any proposal submitted after January 25, 2015 but will be required for most proposals submitted on or after May 25, 2015.
The new format extends the page limit from four to five pages and allows researchers to describe up to five of their most significant contributions to sciences and the historical background that framed their research. Investigators involved in Team Science are provided the opportunity to describe their specific role(s) in the work. Each description can be accompanied by a listing of up to four relevant peer-reviewed publications or other non-publication research products, including audio or video products; patents; data and research materials; databases; educational aids or curricula; instruments or equipment; models; protocols; and software or netware that are relevant to the described contribution. In addition to the descriptions of specific contributions and documentation, researchers will be allowed to include a link to a full list of their published work as found in a publicly available digital database such as MyBibliography or Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae ( SciENcv).
Request for Proposals: Kent State University - Cleveland Clinic Lerner
Collaborative Postdoctoral Funding Program
Application Deadline: Feb. 15, 2015
Announcement of Awards: Feb. 30, 2015
The purpose of this program is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations between Kent State University and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute and to increase the number of joint awards submitted and received by our two institutions. The program will fund the salary and benefits for a postdoctoral associate for up to two years. Learn more.
U.S. Department of Energy update
Effective October 1, 2014, research proposals submitted to the Dept. of Energy Office of Science will require a Data Management Plan. The plan should describer whether and how the digital research data generated by the funded research will be shared and preserved. DOE has also created the Public Access Gateway for Energy and Science (PAGES), which is a web-based portal providing free public access to accepted peer-reviewed manuscripts or published journal articles.
New federal grant regulations to take effect
In late 2013 the federal government published a new document in the Federal Register- "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards," which will take effect in late 2014. This new guidance consolidates and revises several existing sets of regulations (circulars) into one document which governs administrative, audit, and cost-related rules for grants.
The new guidance is the single most significant change in research regulations in several years. The next step in this process is that by early summer federal grant-making agencies are required to provide their implementation plans for the new guidance. The Sponsored Programs and Controller's offices will work together to review the document and agency plans, and will inform the University community of significant changes that will affect administration of new and existing awards.
The final guidance is located in Title 2 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Chapter I, and Chapter II, Parts 200, 215, 220, 225, and 230. Information on the changes is available here.
For more information contact Lori Burchard at 27946 / firstname.lastname@example.com.
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) has changed the unsolicited proposal submission window for all 17 programs to once single submission window. The New submission window is October 1 through November 5, by 5 p.m. local time. The window dates to not apply to proposals submitted in response to specific Foundation-wide solicitations, such as Faculty Early Career Development or Major Research Instrumentation programs.
Revision /resubmission of NSF proposals
The National Science Foundation accepts resubmission of proposals that have previously undergone review and not been funded. Declined proposals may be resubmitted, but only after undergoing substantial revision. A resubmitted proposal that has not clearly taken into account the major comments or concerns resulting from the prior NSF review may be returned without review. These revised proposals are treated by the Foundation as new, subject to the standard review procedures.
A new version of the National Science Foundation Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), (NSF 14-1) has been issued. The PAPPG is comprised of documents relating to the Foundation's proposal and award process. This new version of the PAPPG will be effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after February 24, 2014. Significant changes include:
· Addition to the certification regarding Conflict of Interest regarding the appropriate disclosure process;
· Reiteration that indirect costs are not allowed on participant support costs;
· Small-scale pilot of a new environmental impacts process with a few programs, prior to NSF-wide implementation;
· Updated process for program income reporting; and
· Numerous clarifications throughout the document.
A by-chapter summary of the changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide to assist with identifying the changes.
NEW PHS 398 application forms
An updated SF 424 (R&R) Application Guide and instructions for NIH and Other PHS Agencies is available and must be used for all applications intended for proposals with due dates on or after September 25, 2013. These instructions incorporate numerous clarifications, updates, and policy announcement that have been released since June 2009. Some changes of note include the following areas:
- Changes in Supplemental Grant Application Instructions
- Notice of Proprietary Information
- Updates to Biographical Sketch
- Research Plans which include Human Embryonic Stem Cells
- Letters of Support
- Appendix
The notice regarding the changes can be found at:
The new forms can be found at:
National Science Foundation and letters of support
The NSF does not accept letters of support with proposals unless required by specific program solicitations. When requested, letters of support must be unique to the specific proposal submitted and cannot be altered without the author's explicit prior approval. When not requested, including letters of support may cause a proposal to be returned without review.
Letters of collaboration should be included to describe and document substantial collaboration with individuals not included in the budget or as required in program solicitations. These letters of collaboration should NOT include personal endorsements or recommendation of the investigator or any language which would indicate support of the project. The letters should strictly document the nature of the collaboration such as intellectual contributions to the project; permission to access a site, an instrument, or facility; offer of samples and materials for research; logistical support to the research and education program; and mentoring of U.S. students at a foreign site. The project description should document the nature and need for all collaborations. Description of the resources available at the collaborating institution should be included in the Facilities section of the proposal rather than included in the letter.
Depending on the program to which a proposal is being submitted, letters of collaboration which include endorsement language may cause proposals to be returned without review. Other program officers may remove the letters from the proposal prior to review. Our recommendation is to request your letters from your collaborators well in advance of your submission date so that any required changes can be included at the time of submission.
The National Science Foundation Career-Life Balance (CLB) Supplemental Funding Opportunities in support of Postdoctoral Investigators funded by NSF awards provides additional personnel (i.e. research technicians or equivalent) to sustain research while the postdoctoral research is on family leave. These requests may include funding for up to 3 months of salary support for a maximum of $12,000 in salary plus associated fringe benefits and indirect costs.
Special instructions for use by Principal Investigators and Sponsored Programs Office can be found at:
If you currently have an NSF award which includes funding for a postdoctoral employee who is or will be on family leave, and you are interested in submitting supplemental funding request, please contact Becky Hayes at email@example.com.
Coeus updatedCoeus was updated on April 4. Approvers should not experience any major changes in the electronic approval process. However, the update does include some new features that may be of special interest to Approvers and Investigators:
Yes/No questions reduced
The number of Yes/No Questions (YNQs) required for each proposal are significantly reduced, as many questions relevant only to federal forms are moving to a new questionnaire while more general questions and those previously identified as important to approvers remain in the YNQ section.
New Smart Grants.gov questionnaire only for S2S submissions to federal sponsors
Questions previously covered in YNQs for the purpose of completing federal forms in system-to-system (S2S) processing have moved to a new questionnaire that will only be required when a proposal is being submitted S2S. Your contact in Sponsored Programs will let you know when this questionnaire requires completion.
New electronic certification process for all Involved Kent State personnel on a proposal
The new proposal Certification process looks and acts a bit differently but the questions themselves remain unchanged. Kent State proposal persons will be prompted to Certify the proposal via email or they can enter the proposal and select a link from either the Proposal Summary or Investigator/Key Person screens.
Each individual will be able to complete only his/her own certification within the system. If a situation arises when a person is unable to access the system, Sponsored Programs will be able to work with the individual in order to access an alternative process offline.
Key persons required to complete certification prior to routing
With this change, Key Persons will now need to complete Certification (which covers Conflict of Interest questions) before the proposal record can be routed for internal approval. This new process will allow us to eliminate paper Conflict of Interest forms at the proposal stage as all Kent State personnel, including Key Persons, will have the ability to complete these questions electronically.
Other Coeus updates
In addition to providing general enhancements and fixes, these updates will help us restore Grants.gov System-to-System functionality with updated formats for smoother processing of many federal submissions.
Investigators may also notice a section in Coeus Lite labeled My Awards. If you have awards active in the last few years, some data may be available here but please be aware that not all award information will be up to date as our office continues to work on getting this information in the system.
If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the Sponsored Programs Office at 330-672-2070 or email@example.com.
NIH transitioned to updated electronic application forms packages. These packages, identified with a Competition ID of FORMS-C, are required for all applications with due dates on or after January 25, 2014 with the following exceptions:
- Small Business programs (SBIR/STTR) applicants will transition to FORMS-C packages later in 2014, when we can combine these form changes with anticipated form changes relating to the Small Business Authorization Act.
Details of the form changes are documented at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/ElectronicReceipt/files/FORMS-C_Changes.pdf.
Full details can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-075.html
PHS financial conflict-of-interest policy
The Public Health Service (PHS) has implemented new regulations governing Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) policy for PHS funded research (from such agencies as NIH, CDC, HRSA, AHRQ, SAMHSA, Medicare). As a result, Kent State University will be implementing revised Conflict of Interest Policy and procedures incorporating changes for all PHS-funded investigators and investigators funded by other agencies that have adopted the PHS FCOI policy (such as the American Heart Association). This includes PHS funded subawards. Some of the changes in the regulation include additional reporting requirements and the addition of a training requirement.
The revised policy and procedures are required to be in place by August 24, 2012. The policy applies to all individuals who are involved in the design, conduct or reporting of research (including graduate students and post docs as appropriate).
As updates are available and required training modules are created, announcements will be disseminated through research listservs and the Sponsored Programs news page.
NIH Just-in-Time (JIT) requests
Many federal agencies request additional information after a proposal has been submitted, during the review process. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) makes this request through the Just-in-Time (JIT) process. These requests commonly include:
· Other Support documentation
· Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval
· Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval
· Human subject training requirement certification
· Budget revisions and justification
· Subrecipient documentation listed above
JIT requests are not a notice of grant award, but simply a request for additional information for a proposal under consideration. These JIT requests are being sent by the NIH to the principal investigators. If you receive a JIT request, please forward it to the Sponsored Programs Administrator with whom you worked when submitting your proposal or to me. We will work with you in submitting your required documents. All documentation must be approved and forwarded to the sponsor by the Sponsored Programs Office in order to meet the NIH requirements.
NEW – A thesaurus-based search tool for NIH-funded projects
LikeThis is a new search tool which aids investigators in finding other research projects with similar goals and objectives as their own. This can be done by entering specific scientific terms or by accessing their own application or grant and clicking on the new LikeThis link available through eRA Commons. Investigators will be provided a list of similar funded projects and/or publications as well as a list of scientific terms and their corresponding weights within the publications.

One of the most fundamental steps you can take to ensure consideration of your application is to make certain we receive it successfully. This means applying well before the due date. Now we know we preach this often, but it is as true now as ever before.
As people become more confident in the ability of eRA to process applications quickly, we see an increasing backlog of "last minute" applications on submission due dates. For a recent December due date, more than 1,000 applications were submitted in the final hour. Here is the rub. This rush of submissions can create a potential back-log in processing; checking for errors can take up to 4 hours. Remember that a submission must be error free before it can be sent on for review.
What does this mean for you? Take this possible scenario…
- The application is due at 5 p.m.
- You submit at 4 p.m. on the due date.
- Processing takes an hour and 45 minutes.
- Two errors were identified.
You are now 45 minutes past the submission deadline with no chance to correct the errors that were identified. Not good. NIH's late policy will not allow for the consideration of this application. Had you submitted in the morning of the due date, or even the day or two before, you would have had plenty of time to correct the errors and submit a error-free application.
Please, we want your applications. Submit early.

Absolutely loved Wildstar. Didn't play enough ESO to fairly judge it, but I didn't really enjoy what I got around to trying.
man you guys are all so negative lol I know its the time of the emo but its ok to be happy to have new games to play and after playing both I assure you they arent both trash if thats truely your opinion then I think you need to take a step back from mmo gaming cause your not gonna be happy for a long time.
Also we're generally not that enthused because not that many mmos are trying to step out of the themepark genre. As for my exact opinions on tESO and WS
tESO has NEVER seemed like anything but a cash grab akin to SWtOR. Will i still give it a shot provided they offer a trial? Of course, hands on is always the best way to go.
WS has a fun looking artstyle, but the leaked gameplay,quests, and the whole "breast size" debacle has left me...unsatisfied.
Obviously these games could prove me wrong, in fact I'd LOVE IT if they did, but so far neither seems that great.
I'd especially like for one to prove me wrong after Strife did. Though strife is still early beta, I was excited from the streams and gameplay I saw. Actual hands on was...beyond demoralizing. Things could improve, but not guaranteed to.

Got into the wildstar beta in the first wave of community invites last year. It's an alright game but not something I could see myself playing since it's fairly average in my opinion. Got into the TESO beta since the first wave. Played the first beta weekend, hated it to death, played the second weekend, hated it even more. Didn't bother with the third weekend but I watched a friend play it when I was at his place and while he loved it I still think it looks like a hot steaming pile of dogshit. Won't be playing either one but if I absolutely had to or if I had to recommend either one, Wildstar is still a much better choice.
Played Wildstar and got super bored by its gameplay.
Also tried ESO, it's not boring, but it's unpolished and thus a little annoying. If they fix it, it might be fun.
Would be easier to take your post serious if your name wasn't "the420kid". Makes me think you're a 8 year old that knows nothing of good games, and just prefer a certain game, cause you played it and not the other.
Piss vs manure <- topic
I really enjoyed playing TESO during the last Beta, it started off kinda slow and felt uncomfortable, like most MMO's do - but when you start getting further and get into more combat, the game is actually surprisingly good. The PVP seems like it has a lot of potential too.
I'm going to get it on PS4 when it comes out. :P
Haven't tried WildStar so far, it does look good though, hope they do a beta because I wouldn't buy it without being able to play it first, not a huge fan of the cartoony style.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate reporter
With two spots on the county planning and zoning commission recently opened, the county commissioners on Jan. 20 approved Tom Paluso, of Spring Glen, and re-approved Artie Campbell to serve on the zoning panel. Paluso has served as chairman of the Helper City Zoning Panel and has served on the board since 2002. He currently works as an engineer for Environmental Industrial Services (EIS), an engineering company which provides services mostly to the mining industry. The two positions were opened before the holidays; however, the commission received no applicants and thus solicited Paluso, who accepted the position.
"It actually started out as an informal conversation between me and Richard Tatton," said planning director, Dave Levanger. "We talked about several folks who we thought were community- minded and I've known (Paluso) for years; he's a rock-solid guy and knows the area."
Aside from the appointment, the commission reviewed a contract with the state involving the County Bookmobile.
Although the bookmobile service has been around for over 30 years, it has gradually become more dependent on county funding than state money.
"We talked about how the bookmobile used to be picked up by the state; now the county picks most of it up," said County Accountant, Robert Pero.
Eventually, commissioners agreed to provide slightly increased funds to the bookmobile program.
The bookmobile is a service that provides books and other library services to rural parts of the county and is partially funded by the state.
According to Utah state library director Donna Jones Morris, the program's total budget for the past 12 months was $95,600 with Carbon county providing around $76,000 of the funding.
"The bookmobile is meant to be a cooperative project between the county and the state and we're glad to have the joint support of the county because we could not do ti without them," said Ms. Jones.
The bookmobile operates in 14 counties across Utah and was started in the 1950s. In Carbon County the service has been in operation since 1977 and according to Ms. Jones it is the only library access many people have in the county.
Serives provided include internet access, book check outs and library exchanges. Finally, commissioners decided to table an opening of the bids for the courthouse phone room electrical upgrade, because electrical requirements have changed and thus the item must be re-bid.

Hamilton County, Ohio, Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters announced charges against Russell Glassop, Melowese Richardson, and Sister Marguerite Kloos for voter fraud on Monday, March 11. The Hamilton County Grand Jury returned a one-count indictment of illegal voting against Glassop, an eight-count indictment of illegal voting against Richardson and an information was filed against Kloos charging her with one count of illegal voting.
According to the press release posted March 11 on the Hamilton County Prosecutor's web site:
Richardson is charged with 8 counts of Illegal Voting for voting twice on her behalf and voting on behalf of others in various elections. Count one of the indictment charges her with voting twice in the 2012 United States Presidential Election in violation of Ohio Revised Code 3599.12 (A) (2). Counts 2-8 charge her with voting on behalf of other people in various elections in violation of Ohio Revised Code 3599.12 (A) (3). The people she is charged with voting on behalf of are her relatives. Richardson is a long-time Hamilton County poll worker who has worked for the Board of Elections since at least 1998.
Kloos faced an information rather than an indictment by the Hamilton County Grand Jury because her lawyer contacted the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office and agreed that she would cooperate and plead guilty to the charge that she faced according to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's web site.
The New American contacted the Hamilton County Prosecutor's office regarding other cases of suspected of voter fraud that have been referred to them. Spokeswoman Julie Wilson said these cases are under investigation and that's all that she was at liberty to say at that time.
The debates over laws to curb electoral fraud frequently end in impasses.

Passive Transport
Sometimes you really do get something for nothing. In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby teach you about passive transport and how cells get everything they need from their environment. Find out the difference between passive and active transport, plus how cells get oxygen, water, nutrients, and whatever else they may need to function. You'll learn how cells have special membranes that use pores and diffusion to allow certain things to pass through with no effort from the cell, in addition to how diffusion works to help cells get rid of substances too. Who knew cells had a guest list?

Rich, Lifelike, Stunningly Detailed Sound
Leave it to MartinLogan to make their legendary electrostatic speaker design available in an amazing sounding on-wall speaker that's uniquely ideal for center channel duties. Thanks to its full-range sound, it excels in two-channel and multi-channel systems alike. And you can use it in any application: as a left, right, center, or rear surround speaker, too.
"Talk About Versatile"
"Talk about versatile," notes Jeff Hereen at BestStuff.com. "Martin Logan delivers to the masses a very unique option to either the home theater, TV room, office, etc. You choose. This speaker can be a surround speaker, or a center channel mounted horizontally, vertically, on the wall or off, and on a stand. Again you choose."
Motif is an amalgam of technologies carefully balanced to maximize performance and installation flexibility. A state-of-the-art XStat transducer, MicroPerf stators, ClearSpar spacers, and vacuum bonding combine with dual aluminum-cone woofers and a proprietary Vojtko crossover to provide maximize efficiency for an effortless, unlimited dynamic presentation. The result is rich, lifelike, stunningly detailed sound that blends seamlessly with MartinLogan's other electrostats and enhances any home theater.
The unique (Hybrid-Dynamic) HD-XStat design embeds a high-resolution neodymium soft dome tweeter directly in Motif's electrostatic panel, improving dispersion for increased flexibility in placement. This unique mounting system also increases mid-range/high-frequency phase coherence and time alignment while offering superior dispersion characteristics.
Wall-mount brackets and a toolless pivoting stand (with 35 degrees of motion) allow Motif to perform as either a main, center, or surround speaker, mounted on- or off-wall, horizontally or vertically.
Carefully hand-built using only the finest polypropylene capacitors and air-core coils, Motif's crossover employs MartinLogan's proprietary Vojtko topology for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network preserves even the subtlest sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source.
HD-XStat (Hybrid Dynamic) Technology
HD-XStat electrostatic transducers feature a high-resolution neodymium soft dome tweeter embedded directly in the electrostatic panel.
What really sets the Motif apart is a high-resolution neodymium soft dome tweeter embedded directly in the electrostatic panel. By eliminating the need for a bulky tweeter housing mounted in front of the ESL panel (as found on the Cinema and Theater center channels), the Motif all but eliminates high-frequency diffraction. This unique mounting system also increases mid-range/high-frequency phase coherence and time alignment while offering superior dispersion characteristics (compared to previous MartinLogan center channels).
XStat Electrostatic Transducer
Advanced MicroPerf stator technology gives MartinLogan's latest-generation CLS electrostatic transducer almost twice as much exposed diaphragm surface as a traditional electrostatic panel of the same size. This dramatic increase in effective radiating area translates to higher efficiency and an even more effortless, unlimited dynamic presentation. The XStat pulls no punches!
But there's more to it than just putting more holes in the stators, which must maintain uniform spacing in front of and behind the diaphragm to exacting tolerances. They cannot flex. XStat's ultra-rigid aluminum AirFrame firmly anchors the transducer's working elements - stators and diaphragm - around their periphery, while ClearSpar spacers stiffen the assembly further across its width. ClearSpars enable precise, consistent tensioning of the Vacuum Bonded diaphragm without obstructing the floating, see-through look that is the visual hallmark of MartinLogan electrostats.
In the end, a speaker cannot outperform the signal feeding it. MartinLogan's state-of-the-art toroidal transformer and electrical interface engineering ensure an absolutely transparent link from amplifier to electrostatic panel. The result is sound of unparalleled purity, precision, clarity, and openness - the next best thing to no speaker at all.
Vacuum Bonding
The components of each XStat panel - consisting of two insulated, high-purity carbon steel stators, plasma-deposited PET diaphragm, and ClearSpar spacers - are fused into a cylindrical-section geometry with an aerospace adhesive whose hold strength exceeds that of welding. MartinLogan's proprietary Vacuum Bonding process ensures uniform diaphragm tensioning and facilitates the extremely tight tolerances necessary for construction of such a precision transducer.
Curvilinear Line Source Electrostatic Panel
One of MartinLogan's original breakthroughs, CLS technology has been an essential ingredient of every electrostatic loudspeaker we've produced. Proprietary manufacturing methods enable construction of electrostatic panels as cylindrical sections. Their gentle horizontal curvature solves the problem of obtaining good high-frequency dispersion from a large radiating surface without compromising overall sound quality or reliability.
MicroPerf Stators
Although stators are the elements of an electrostatic driver that are supposed to stand still, they carry the audio signals that do the work of propelling the diaphragm back and forth to move air and produce sound. Because the stators sandwich the diaphragm between them, they must be perforated to allow sound to pass through. Yet they must also be rigid enough to remain absolutely stationary despite the strong electrostatic forces pushing and pulling at them during operation.
MartinLogan's MicroPerf design optimizes this tradeoff by reducing the size of the individual holes and using many more of them than in a traditional electrostatic panel. MicroPerf almost doubles effective diaphragm radiating area without compromising structural integrity. The resulting increase in output capability and efficiency allows a panel to be made much smaller without sacrificing performance - or to enjoy a substantial leap in bandwidth and dynamics without growing larger.
Low-Distortion Aluminum-Cone Woofers
By eliminating cone flexure, aluminum diaphragms help MartinLogan's advanced-technology woofers achieve the very low distortion necessary for proper blending with MartinLogan electrostatic panels.
On-Wall / Off-Wall Acoustic Contour Switch
Motif features a unique on-wall/off-wall switch that tailors acoustic equalization to either installation option. Simply set this switch to On-Wall if mounting to a surface. Set the switch to Off-Wall if the Motif is more than four inches from a wall. Setting this switch ensures that you will achieve total system matching in even the most diverse setups (such as systems mixing on-wall and off-wall installations).
Vojtko Crossover
Carefully hand-built using only the finest polypropylene capacitors and air-core coils, the crossover employ's MartinLogan's proprietary Vojtko topology for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source.
Application Versatility
Motif is suitable for use in any stereo or multi-channel audio system, mounted either on- or off-wall. And it blends well with other MartinLogan speakers in both sound and appearance, which allows mixing and matching to meet specific installation requirements.
Motif's Toolless Single-pivot Stand
Each Motif LCR speaker includes a single-pivot stand that enables easy installation on a set-top, floor or shelf. Additionally, Motif may horizontally / vertically mounted to a wall (under or beside a plasma screen, for example).
Easy Installation Low-Voltage Power Supply
A low-voltage DC power supply eliminates the need for a traditional, heavy IEC power cord and increases installation flexibility.
Toolless Binding Posts
MartinLogan's proprietary toolless binding posts make cable connection and management easy.
*For detailed dimensional drawings, please see the Motif user's manual.
"Talk about versatile... Martin Logan delivers to the masses a very unique option to either the home theater, TV room, Office, etc. You choose. This speaker can be a surround speaker, or a center channel mounted horizontally, vertically, on the wall or off, and on a stand. Again... you choose."
