Having a great design for your blog can do wonders for your business. Not only does it build your brand, but if optimized correctly, it can help you get more regular readers and keep them engaged as well. People just love visiting a site that's smartly designed and easy to read.
So how do you improve the design of your blog?
Well the first thing is to hire a great designer. Ask around on popular web forums to find recommendations of top designers. The best designers are very pricy, but it's well worth the investment.
If you don't have that big a budget, then I would like an a design crowdsourcing site like 99designs or DesignCrowd. Using these types of sites will give you access to a large pool of designers, and allow you to select between multiple designs. Plus, the price for setting up a design contest is quite reasonable. I'll skip the in-depth reviews here, but check out SmartBusinessTrends for their thoughts on using 99designs. It's an interesting read.
Once you've picked who's going to redesign your blog, you need to tell them what you want.
Here are some of my best tips for improving your blog design.
Use Snippets on your homepage
By default, most wordpress themes include entire posts on the front of their homepage. This is a big mistakes. Most of your visitors have short attention spans and will never bother reading your post. Instead, include snippets on your homepage instead. This lets your visitors scan through several posts to see what they like, and makes them more likely to find something they want to read.
Make sure your design is responsive
In the old days, we would design our websites for people browsing the web on their big monitor screens. Nowadays, the majority of your visitors are browsing your site from their cell phone or iPad. If your site doesn't scale down to these smaller screen sizes, then you are giving your visitors a poor user experience.
Limit the Social Sharing Icons
There are so many social networks these days. And they all have their own set of social sharing buttons. Sure, they look cool, but having too many choices is not a good thing and will decrease the overall amount of social shares you earn. Instead, just focus on the biggest 3 social networks, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ and include buttons for them. These are the networks that will send you the most traffic.
The only exception to this is if your blog is full of pictures. Then I would recommend swapping one of the above networks out for Pinterest.
Use a readable font size
According to Quicksprout, 34% of sites use 12px font and 30% use 13px font. Stick with these sizes as your visitors are used to them and they are readable. What are the most popular fonts? 34% use Verdana and 24% use Lucida Grande.
For headlines, go with Arial or Georgia font as they are the most popular.
Final Thoughts
If you take the time to ask your chosen designer to implement these suggestions, you will definitely see an increase in engagement on your site. These are time tested suggestions that have been implemented by many different sites. Try them out, and see for yourself.

I went to Todi, a Medieval hilltop town in Umbria, to reclaim my Italian, a language I learned when I was 16, had mastered as an exchange student by 18 but had abandoned by 24. During the long interregnum between then and now, I have imagined dreamily the alternative life in which my love of Italian would have thrived. Others had lived that life, among them my best friend, Christina Ball. My freshman roommate at college, Christina had gone marvelously off the deep end, marrying an Italian from Pisa, getting her PhD at Yale in Italian literature and starting a language and cultural center in Charlottesville, Virginia, called Speak! Language Center. From her Southern outpost, Christina, a beautiful brunette straight out of an Antonioni movie, was building a growing business that extolled the charms of Italian culture.
I'd played a small but decisive part in all of this. The summer after our freshman year in college, I invited her to spend a month with me in Italy. I introduced her to the family that had embraced me, and I taught her to make pasta, to have an espresso after her big midday meal, vin santo with biscotti after supper. I traveled with her to see the David, rode bikes with her through the Villa Borghese Gardens, trolled the Porta Portese flea market, and dove topless from rocks into the sapphire Mediterranean on the Sicilian island of Favignana. The first bit of Italian that I taught her was the first I'd learned: "La vacca è una persona? No, la vacca non è una persona. La vacca è un'animale." Who knows how my grammar book came up with that, but somehow it worked. Italians laughed when I repeated it. The laughter made me want to be able to say more, and in this same way I inspired Christina. "Is the cow a person? No, the cow is not a person. The cow is an animal." By August, in the dry heat of Sicily, the course of her life, unbeknownst to her, was decided.
Now in our forties, in a nice coup of symmetry, it was Christina who offered to lead me back to my own, now long-lost Italy. Speak! Language Center (formerly Ecco Italy) offers a full immersion language and culture course in conjunction with its sister school in Todi, La Lingua La Vita. When Christina described to me how the program sank her students into Umbrian life and Italian language, I signed on for August, bringing with me my two children, husband and mother, enrolling them in Italian lessons at the school as well.
Umbria is a region in central Italy best known for the cities of Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto and Orvieto (all within an hour of Todi), but Christina's itinerary focused on a lesser-known path. Todi, atop its craggy hill, with all its churches, its labyrinth of medieval streets and its history dating back more than 2,000 years to the Etruscans, is a tranquil jewel of a town, not heavily touristed. Just the sort of place that would interest Christina, who, with her big brown eyes, a pile of thick hair, and a spirit and style more Italian than American, always leaves a group of slightly bedazzled, newly minted friends in her wake.
In Todi, everyone seemed to know her—the cheese maker, the wood-carver whose specialty is inlay, an opera scholar, even the barber. If someone interests her, she introduces herself. In this way, she met Stefania Belli, founder and president of La Lingua La Vita. Christina heard about Stefania's innovative teaching methods, which incorporate performance and theater, and decided American students could gain a lot from her approach. They established a program of morning language instruction followed by an afternoon of adventures that would allow students to put their Italian into practice. But the aspect of the program I anticipated most was staying with a host family, the Gioffres, at their agriturismo (a farm converted into a hotel), Acquaviva. It's on the southern slope of Ficareto, one of the many small hills that encircle Todi.

Men's Track & Field Wins 11 Events as Tigers win 23rd Straight HYP Title
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (2/15/14) – The Princeton men's track & field team expanded its HYP win streak to 23 straight as the Tigers won 11 events at the annual meet held on Saturday, Feb. 15 at Coxe Cage.
Princeton had wins in following events: the 60, 200, 500, 800, 1k, 4x400, 4x800, high jump, triple jump, long jump and pole vault.
Sophomores John Hill and Dre Nelson went 1-3 in the 60 to start the track events with Princeton grabbing seven of a possible 11 points. Hill clocked a 6.88 and Nelson a 6.94.
Freshman Brent Albertson won the 200 at 22.82 and sophomore Greg Caldwell was fourth at 23.56 as the Tigers grabbed six more points. Caldwell was also the runner-up in the 60 hurdles at 8.22, while junior Rob Mohr was third at 8.50.
Freshman Ray Mennin and senior Daniel McCord were both scorers in the 400. Mennin was second at 48.81 while McCord finished at 50.02.
Senior Tom Hopkins ran a 1:03.33 in the 500 for the win.
Sophomores Luke Brahm and Jamie Fehrnstrom went 1-3 in the 800 with Brahm clocking a 1:52.52 and Fehrnstrom a 1:54.03.
Freshman William Paulson and sophomore David Pugliese also put together a 1-3 hit in the 1k. Paulson was three seconds ahead of the rest of the competition at 2:27.56 and Pugliese running in at 2:31.42.
Senior Tyler Udland and junior Matt McDonald were scorers in the 3k. Udland was third with a time of 8:15.01 and McDonald was fourth at 8:17.29.
The Tigers concluded the track events with victories in both relays. The 4x400 of Bryan Switzer, McCord, Mennin and Hopkins ran 3:15.14. Fehrnstrom, Brahm, junior Bradley Paternostro and senior Michael Williams finished with a six-second lead on the rest of the competition at 7:43.52.
Nine points came Princeton's way thanks to the high jump. Senior Omar Jarrett won the event with freshman Xavier Bledsoe second. Both jumped 2.01 (6-7) with junior Stephen Soerens fourth at 1.86 (6-1.25).
The Tigers went 1-2 in the pole vault as sophomore Adam Bragg cleared 5.22 (17-1.5). Freshman Ben Gaylord got over 4.80 (15-9) as the runner-up.
Princeton dominated the long jump as Harvard and Yale did not enter anyone in the event. Senior Damon McLean earned the five points for first place with a jump of 7.00 (22-11.75). Junior Tumi Akinlawon was second at 6.92 (22-8.50), followed by freshman Greg Leeper at 6.56 (21-6.25) and senior Shane Molidor at 6.53 (21-5.25).
Another 1-2 combo came in the triple jump. Junior Nana Owusu-Nyantekyi won with a jump of 14.84 (48-8.25). McLean was inches away at 14.35 (47-1).
Princeton captured five points in the throws. Junior Scott Rushton was the runner-up in the shot put with a throw of 17.69 (58-00.50) while freshman Jared Bell was fourth at 15.79 (51-9.75). A throw of 15.99 (52-5.50) for Jake Taylor placed him fourth in the weight throw.
Princeton will send a select group to the Alex Wilson Invitational at Notre Dame next Saturday and then host the Princeton Invitational on Sunday.

We are given a fair coin. We start out with 5 dollars. We keep tossing the coin. If the outcome is different than the previous one, we are awarded another 5 dollars. However, we do not get anything if the outcome is the same as the previous one. Let's say we toss the coin X times in the long run. How much do we expect to have in the end?

Given the current state: time $n\geq 0$ and the amount of money $5x$ dollars, the probability that we have $5(x+1)$ at the next step is the same as the probability that we stay with $5x$, and of course both are $\frac12$. So as Hagen has mentioned, your expected profit is $$ 5+\mathsf E\sum_{i=0}^X \xi_i = 5\left(1+\frac X2\right). $$ since $\xi_0 = 0$ and $\xi_i$ takes values $\{0,5\}$ equiprobable.
This problem may be solved using generating functions which is admittedly more powerful than strictly necessary in this case, but it does illustrate the method, which is worth knowing. Let $p_A(n)$ be a polynomial in $u$ such that $[u^k] p_A(n)$ is the probability of having a capital of $k$ dollars and the last coin came up heads and similarly $p_B(n)$ for tails. Then we have the following system of equations $$ p_A(n) = \frac{1}{2} p_A(n-1) + \frac{1}{2} u^5 p_B(n-1) \\ p_B(n) = \frac{1}{2} u^5 p_A(n-1) + \frac{1}{2} p_B(n-1)$$ with initial conditions $$ p_A(0) = \frac{1}{2} u^5 \quad \text{and} \quad p_B(0) = \frac{1}{2} u^5.$$ Now introduce the generating functions $$ P_A(z) = \sum_{n\ge 0} p_A(n) z^n \quad \text{and} \quad P_B(z) = \sum_{n\ge 0} p_B(n) z^n.$$ Multiply the recurrences by $z^n:$ $$ p_A(n) z^n = z \frac{1}{2} z^{n-1} p_A(n-1) + z \frac{1}{2} u^5 z^{n-1} p_B(n-1) \\ p_B(n) z^n = z \frac{1}{2} u^5 z^{n-1} p_A(n-1) + z \frac{1}{2} z^{n-1} p_B(n-1)$$ Sum over $n$ to obtain the following system of equations $$ P_A(z) - \frac{1}{2} u^5 = \frac{1}{2}z P_A(z) + \frac{1}{2}u^5 z P_B(z) \\ P_B(z) - \frac{1}{2} u^5 = \frac{1}{2}u^5 z P_A(z) + \frac{1}{2}z P_B(z).$$ The solution to this system is $$ P_A(z)=-{\frac {{u}^{5}}{{u}^{5}z-2+z}}\\ P_B(z) =-{\frac {{u}^{5}}{{u}^{5}z-2+z}}.$$ The generating function for the expected capital after $n$ steps is then given by $$ f(z) = \left( \frac{d}{du} (P_A(z) + P_B(z)) \right)_{u=1} = -10\, \left( 2\,z-2 \right) ^{-1}+10\,{\frac {z}{ \left( 2\,z-2 \right) ^{2}}}.$$ Now we have $$[z^n] f(z) = 5+5/2\,n,$$ which is precisely what was obtained above. We can also compute the variance, which is where the generating functions start to shine. First compute the expected factorial moment $Q(Q-1)$ where $Q$ is the capital. This has generating function $$ g(z) = \left( \frac{d}{du} \frac{d}{du} (P_A(z) + P_B(z)) \right)_{u=1} = -40\, \left( 2\,z-2 \right) ^{-1}+140\,{\frac {z}{ \left( 2\,z-2 \right) ^{2}}}-100\,{\frac {{z}^{2}}{\left( 2\,z-2 \right) ^{3}}} .$$ This gives $$[z^n] g(z) = 20+{\frac {115}{4}}\,n+{\frac {25}{4}}\,{n}^{2}.$$ The variance can now be obtained from $$Var[Q] = E[Q^2] - E[Q]^2 = E[Q(Q-1)] + E[Q] - E[Q]^2,$$ which gives $$Var[Q] = {\frac {25}{4}}\,n.$$ We could in fact compute all factorial moments if desired.
The odds for each toss is $50\%$ for a win and $50\%$ for a "loss" where a loss does not actually constitute any loss other than time. So given that you begin with $\$5$ you should expect to gain $\$(5x \cdot 0.50)$ more, i.e., you should expect to gain about $\$5$ for every other flip.

I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle is a mission for Gerald McReary, the brother of Patrick McReary, in Grand Theft Auto IV. Gerald wants Niko Bellic to chase and assassinate a Ancelotti capo named Frankie Garone while in disguise as an Albanian thug to create even more trouble between the two gangs. He reveals a dead Albanian stuffed in his fridge under the chicken that he wants Niko to dress as, to look the part. Niko uses the Albanian's PCJ-600 to do the job.
Find the motorcycle around the corner and hop on. Carefully ride over to Star Junction where Frankie Garone is having a meeting with some Albanians. Frankie has already beaten up an Albanian and notices Niko, gets scared, and hops on his sports bike in hopes of escaping. Chase him through some side streets and alleyways. Be careful and make sure not to crash (watch out for an exploding vehicle early on in the chase - sometimes a fire truck will be right nearby and easy to crash into). During the chase try to shoot him off the bike, or aim for the tires to slow him down. Your main intention will obviously be to kill him. Whenever the two bikes are close to each other, use the chance to shoot Garone. It's better to shoot Garone than his bike, aim for his back. Keep shooting and don't give up. Mainly, don't let him escape and be careful not to fly off the bike. Eventually, Frankie works his way into Alderney via the Booth Tunnel. This mission gets easier every time you try, so try and try again. When you kill Frankie; you've completed the mission.
- The mission is named after the famous line said by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
- If you kill Frankie before, where a vehicle has crashed, and two Fire Trucks, if you enter the vehicle which has crashed, the vehicle will be thrown about, and then will fly at top speed and hit a building.
- The name for this mission is currently the longest in the GTA Series.
- This is the second and last time the FDLC will respond to a fire in a mission. However, they still fail as the burning motorbike blows up.

For today's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein shares his memories of our May 6, 1993 show with Freestyle Fellowship. And as always, we'd love for you to join us in reminiscing on the night and sharing your favorite Freestyle Fellowship memories!
Out of Los Angeles, California, Freestyle Fellowship were from the same era of LA rap groups like The Pharcyde. They were signed to 4th and Broadway and had a very jazzy hip-hop feel to them – kind of like the west coast juxtaposition to De La and Tribe. Their "Park Bench People" track in particular was a big hit for us down at the club. Jose James actually covered it many years later on The Dreamer.
This show was at Metropolis, which was the classic Giant Step venue. Metropolis was in the basement of what is now Blue Water Grill. It held about 250-300 people but we'd get like 400-500 people, all smoking and drinking. In this day and age, so many people would never be allowed in a club like that – those are times that are totally gone.
Freestyle Fellowship had a young manager named Kedar who was very impressive and also quite pushy, which definitely helped him get my attention quite early.
After managing Freestyle Fellowship, Kedar went on to manage D'Angelo, helped discover Erykah Badu, and eventually became the President of Motown Records where he signed India Arie. He's also someone who took credit for coining the term "neo soul." Like I said, a very impressive guy.
Having Daddy-O from Stetsasonic as a guest was a very nice addition to the bill. He was actually introduced to us by Kedar as his brother. For those that are not familiar, Stetsasonic were a hip-hop band from the late 80s/early 90s. One of their most popular tracks was a song called "Talking All That Jazz" that sampled Lonnie Liston Smith's "Expansions," which also was a big hit at the club.
It was a very memorable show – a hot, sweaty, sticky late night downtown. Great band to see live.

A waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component, multi-layer formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability. HyVent® technology has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining an optimum level of breathability. To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent® garments to 20 wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the waterproofing Mullens test.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

ZF-2132: InfoCard Authentication
Provide an adapter for InfoCard authentication
Assigning to [~coogle]
... It's been there pretty much since the component was functional :)
Reopening the issue, until the components are promoted to core (available in the trunk for next release).
Looks like we just need a couple of things to get this to be acceptable for core:
- Documentation
- Passing unit tests with at least 80% code coverage
Did I miss anything?
I get a fatal error on running the tests:
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Framework/TestSuite.php' (include_path='.;C:\wamp\php\PEAR

You might try using the {{TestHelper.php}} script in {{incubator/tests}} and/or {{PATH_SEPARATOR}} instead of colons.
This was fixed and the test suite should run just fine now.
Reopening pending code, tests, and docs acceptance to core for release (i.e., moved to trunk).
Shouldn't the Zend_Auth adapter be named Zend_Auth_Adapter_InfoCard like the others? Matthew informs me that the InfoCard component will have a separate release package, much like that for Zend_Gdata, but the Zend_Auth adapter is not to be included in this package.
Committed the changes for the Class name change (renamed Zend_InfoCard_Auth_Adapter to Zend_Auth_Adapter_InfoCard and corrected, docs. etc
Zend_Auth_Adapter_Infocard is now in core on trunk. All pending issues are tracked elsewhere.

Chef Ethan Lappe
Caffe Niche's chef-owner Ethan Lappe planned way ahead for Salt Lake magazine's restaurant tasting event, Tastemakers, last spring. You could say he was prepared from the ground up: In March he and his staff were up at Tifie Ranch in Morgan Valley planting the French radishes he planned to serve on sandwiches at the May event. Lappe works regularly with Tifie, planting produce especially for the restaurant. Besides vegetables, Tifie supplies Lappe with eggs from its flock of free-range, organically raised chickens, and coming soon you'll probably see organically raised goat on the menu at Caffe Niche, too. Caffe Niche, 779 E. Broadway, SLC, 801-433-3380
Chef Ethan's Radish Sandwiches
Nothing could be simpler. The secret is entirely in the quality of ingredients.
4 slices of good French-style bread, something crusty but soft with a good crumb
1–2 medium radishes, sliced paper thin
1 1/2 Tbsp butter, softened
1/2 tsp. Hawaiian Black Salt, or another fancy salt
Spread the butter on the bread, layer on the radish slices and dust with the salt.

Coupon Kitchen - Food Lion bulk item deals
Published: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 4:36 p.m.
Purchasing bulk produce items can be a bad deal. If you buy a large quantity of vegetables but end up tossing half the bag at the end of the week, then you probably would have saved more money buying just a few items.
Still, when you find deals like the one at Food Lion this week – $1.99 for 5-pound bag of potatoes – getting creative with multiple uses as seen below can help you avoid tossing out unused food.
The subtotal for all three meals is $23.66, or $1.97 per serving. Most of the items below can be found in the Food Lion ads in today's StarNews.

Presented in conjunction with the Rock Hall's special exhibit Grateful Dead: The Long, Strange Trip, this edition of Rock and Roll Night School will spotlight the Dead's 1977 album Terrapin Station. Their first album for Arista Records, Terrapin Station represented a musical departure for the band. For the first time in a decade, the band enlisted the help of an outside producer (Keith Olsen, Fleetwood Mac). The result was a grab-bag of musical styles, including Motown covers ("Dancin' in the Streets"), reggae influences ("Estimated Prophet"), and progressive rock styles ("Terrapin Station Part 1") – all of which became important pieces in the band's live shows. Though the album received mixed reviews upon its release, it has since been valued as an underrated gem. This month's Rock and Roll Night School will begin with a listening of the album in its entirety and will continue with an in-depth discussion about the album, with specific attention paid to the experimental 16-minute title track.
This event is FREE and RSVPs are not required. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis

Fall 2009 I was spending a few days in London on my way home from a medical mission trip to Beirut.
One of my favorite places to visit is the Imperial War Museum. It was pretty dark in there but I managed to snap some nice pics. I didn't think much of this gun when I first saw it, but after the episode tonight it looked familiar so I thought I would post my pics.

Laura Esserman, MD, Director of the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center at the University of California Medical School is determined to revolutionize how cancer drugs are developed. "The record for producing new cancer drugs is abysmal," she says. "Fully 60 percent to 70 percent of late-stage cancer trials fail." And among the 30 percent that don't fail, many are marginally useful or less effective than existing drugs. Yet the cost of developing those drugs is staggering. It can take 10 years, a billion dollars and thousands of women as subjects. Esserman and Donald A. Berry, a biostatistician at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, designed the I-Spy-2 Phase II clinical trial, now underway, to reverse this record and get effective drugs onto the market quicker, for less money, and with fewer subjects.
To do that, they joined forces with a large group of researchers and some unlikely partners, including several pharmaceutical companies, the National Cancer Institute, Safeway Foundation, Quantum Leap Foundation, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to topple some old ideas about conducting clinical trials.
Narrowing Down the Test Population
The current practice of testing a drug on any and all breast cancer patients is often ineffective because breast cancer is not a single disease and a drug that is effective in one patient may not work in another. I-Spy-2 is designed to learn which drugs work on breast cancers with specific characteristics. "For every drug that goes through the trial, we're trying to come up with a set of gene-based and molecular markers that we think will predict response," Esserman says. "And we're working with the FDA to make sure that these markers are useful for deciding on treatments beyond our trials."
"We already know that targeted treatments work," she continues. For example, some cancers are estrogen receptor positive (ER-positive), and some are estrogen receptor negative (ER-negative). An ER-positive cancer cell reacts to the presence of estrogen by ramping up and growing like crazy. An ER-negative cancer cell is more or less indifferent to the presence of estrogen. Some very good drugs have been developed to treat ER-positive cancers, including tamoxifen, taxol, aromatase inhibitors, anything that impedes the impact of estrogen on the cells. "More women with stage I and II and probably stage III breast cancer are surviving because of chemo-therapy and tamoxifen," says Columbia University's Barron H. Lerner, MD, author of The Breast Cancer Wars: Hope, Fear, and the Pursuit of a Cure in Twentieth-Century America.
Testing Several Drugs at Once
Instead of testing one drug in each clinical trial, I-Spy-2 tests multiple drugs at once — up to five at any given time, with the goal of assessing as many as 12 before the trial is over. Each patient in the trial will get the standard of care required of her cancer—chemotherapy at the beginning of the treatment and surgery to remove the tumor at the end. In addition, each of five groups of patients, whose members have been screened for particular biological markers on their cancers, will be given one of the novel drugs in combination with taxol. The patients' tumors are monitored with MRIs to see which respond best to the drugs being given. After a period of time, the drugs that are determined to be effective will be moved on to Phase III trials. Those that prove ineffective will be dropped and new ones will be introduced. "All of which means the trial is adaptive," Esserman says. "If we start to see that Drug A works well for the hormone receptor subtypes, for example, the next patient like that that comes into the trial is more likely to get that drug. As a result, the trial starts to learn what works and what doesn't." After six months, the tumor, if any remains, is removed and evaluated. "In a traditional clinical trial, the results aren't compiled until the trial is over, years after it began, but we collect data on the drug's effectiveness and evaluate it all along," Esserman says.
Choosing Subjects Who Might Benefit Most

In many ways, applying for a grant is similar to applying for a job. Jobseekers and grantseekers are both applying (competing) to do work in their field of expertise. Just as there are essential elements in a resume, there are essential elements in a grant proposal.
The Minnesota Council on Foundations developed the Minnesota Common Grant Form to standardize the elements to be included in grant proposals, thereby making the process easier for both grantseekers and grantmakers. Using this form avoids having to re-organize the same information to fit different funder guidelines. The linked page above includes a list of which Minnesota grantmakers will accept this form.
Whether using the Minnesota Common Grant Form or not, the required elements of any grant proposal are usually some slight variation of the following:
Cover Letter and Application Form
The letter introduces the proposal and shows institutional support for the project. It should be signed by the project director's dean or vice president. Cover letters for large proposals are signed by the president. Some funders require an application form, which may request specific information such as EIN or DUNS numbers. You can request this information from your corporate/foundation relations office.
Summary or Abstract
Summarizes the proposal in a paragraph or up to one page. Do not underestimate the importance of the abstract! It may be the only piece of your proposal that is read during the initial screening of proposals. It should identify the applicant organization, include information on organizational credibility, situation being addressed, objectives, methods, and dollar amount requested.
Organizational Information
Tells reader brief history, mission, staff, activities, and governance. This section is often one of the first sections, or it may be placed near the end. SJU proposal writers may incorporate one of these organizational information templates or write their own.
Statement of Need or Situation Description
Description of why the project is necessary. This section is very important to a successful proposal. Include statistical evidence and statements from authorities to support your assertions.
Project Description, Plan or Activities
Explains your plan to address the Need and includes goal, objectives and methods. The goal is the long-range benefit you are seeking (e.g., to ensure the well being of college students), the objectives are the measurable outcomes (e.g. on-campus crime will be reduced by 20% over two years), the methods are how you will reach your objectives (e.g., implement plan of cooperation between campus security and city police).
Impact of Activities
What will be different and better as a result of the work to be done?
Evaluation Plan
Description of a plan that will measure the degree of success. Describes who will measure, what will be measured, and how it will be measured. More info
Sustainability Plan
How will the project continue after the grant period expires? Grantmakers want to know that the projects they support won't disappear as soon as the money is spent. More info
The proposal budget usually includes a budget narrative that explains how expenses are calculated and why they are necessary to conduct the project.
Supporting Materials
The funder may request items such as evidence of tax exempt status, audited financial statements, and organizational budget. Contact your corporate/foundation relations office for help assembling supporting materials.

A recent proof of the ABC Conjecture has been released by one Shinichi Mochizuki. Now, I'm not well versed in mathematics but it would appear that this proof implies that finding prime factors could be greatly reduced in computation time. Is that right? Does this show that encryption that relies on prime factors can be cracked quicker? And if so is it possible that such an algorithm could be produced from these findings to do so either now or in the future?

This question came from our site for information security professionals.
There are no known implications of the ABC Conjecture to RSA. The ABC problem doesn't have even a superficial resemblance to the security of RSA.
(The only point of connection is the fact that they both relate to prime numbers, but that is extremely thin. Much of number theory can say it is somehow related to prime numbers. It'd be like assuming that recent improvements in building fast sailboats for the America's Cup has implications for the possible future availability of a flying car, since they both involve fluids.)

Backcourt should be Hughes and Douglas.
You would think coach Dantoni would realize how TERRIBLE Duhon is.
one reason knicks lost is cuz dantoni made a substition when the knicks lead 14-7 in the first qrtr
and because they suck
lol @ crawford completely ****ting on duhon in the 4th, WHEN IT COUNTS
crawford > dantoni
douglas keeps steam rolling if only the rest of the team would match his energy and heart on the court we might actually get to win no.2 that way
is this the official knicks - hawks game thread? SMH...
even Knicks online fans lost interest doing proper thread?... wtf?
Everytime Crawford does that "crossover" he carries. Seriously. Look at it. Might be a palming violation too.

Miami Dolphins: Alama-Francis earns contract extension
When Ikaika Alama-Francis replaced Koa Misi at strongside linebacker for the Miami Dolphins' second defensive series Saturday night, it showed they really are serious about this training camp transition.
Now comes word that Alama-Francis, entering his first full season with the Dolphins, has received a one-year contract extension. The former second-round pick (58th overall) out of Hawaii is now under contract for $640,000 in 2011, according to the NFL Players Association online database, in addition to the $545, 000 he is set to earn this year.
The man known as "Ike" was the only second-team defender moved up to work with the first unit that early in Saturday's game, and though Alama-Francis didn't have any tackles against the Bucs, he did a nice job setting the edge.
Alama-Francis spent his first two seasons with the lowly Lions before getting released out of training camp in September 2009. He hooked on with the Dolphins on Nov. 24 in the wake of NT Jason Ferguson's season-ending injury but was inactive for all six games he spent with the Dolphins.
This summer, after dropping 15 pounds to get down to 275, Alama-Francis increased his profile markedly as he switch to outside linebacker.
In other contract news, newly signed cornerback Kevin Hobbs (ex-Seahawks and Lions) is set to make $545,000 and $640,000 the next two years, according to NFLPA figures.
Veteran corner Evan Oglesby, who will miss the season after being placed on injured reserve last week with a serious left ankle injury, was recently signed (without team announcement) to a one-year extension that will pay him $640,000 in 2011 if he's able to return to health.
Oglesby was already signed for $630,000 in 2010, which the Dolphins will pay him while they nurse him back to health.

Whether people are legitimately interested or whether they're just attempting to avoid awkward silences, this seems to be the most popular question during the first couple weeks in January. But how often do you hear the question, "what did you do on the first day of the new year?" Rarely, right? Well, Matt Chiodo, curator of Alpine Art, asked 24 talented local photographers this very question, and then he asked for the photos to back it up.
For 24 hours on Jan. 1, 24 photographers took 24 pictures. Now they're going to be in an exhibit called "24x24" at the Alpine Art Gallery. Cool idea, right? We think so.
The "24x24" exhibition will run from Feb. 17 to April 18 at Alpine Art Gallery, 430 E South Temple. For more information, contact Alpine Art at 801-355-1155 or email email@example.com.
Featured photographers will include: Kelly Green, Bob Plumb, Zoe Rodriguez, Laura Ferguson, Cat Palmer, Trish Empey, Gerry Johnson, Jeff Clay, Tom Thompson, Jillian Cameron, Zuzanna Audette, Amanda Moore, Spencer Davis, Simon Blundell, Drake Busath, Christine Baczek, Celine Downen, Robert Hall, Michael Slade, Dave Brewer, Ann Torrence, Shalee Cooper, Renee Keith and Anne Cummings-Anderson.

Published: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 9:33 p.m.

This is a corrected version of the story. In the original, the date of a fundraiser later this month was incorrect.
Eight members of a local gym will participate in the Reebok CrossFit Games July 23-28 in Los Angeles.
They belong to CrossFit Wilmington, which says it is the only gym in the state with a team in the world fitness competition. The team qualified by finishing third in the 30-team Mid-Atlantic Regional in Largo, Md.
Husband and wife Joe and Amanda Welliver, former college athletes, are on the team.
"I was looking for something to do competitively since college,'' Joe Welliver said. "Amanda discovered CrossFit, and she had a knack for it. I didn't have a knack toward it, but still Amanda really shines at it. It was just something fun we started doing on the weekends.''
Amanda Hodge, Melissa Hoff, Cody Lambert and William Hall are the other team members. Marcie Wells and Lidia Beer also qualified as individuals in the 40-44 and 55-59 masters age-group divisions, respectively.
Hall, a Marine, fractured his right humerus bone in December. The team thought the injury would sideline him at least one year, but Lambert cites Hall's determination and being a quick healer for the speedy recovery.
Wells started CrossFit training three years ago, and it did not take her long to get hooked.
With a current world ranking of 4, she has come a long way.
Hodge, a Marine recruiting officer, joined CrossFit 3½ years ago.
She admits having an addictive personality, and the sport only fuels her craving. "I am a passionate person,'' she said. "Things I feel strongly about I tend to go overboard, which sometimes gets me into trouble by overtraining.''
CrossFit is a high-intensity workout. She acknowledges doing it several days in a row wears on the body, plus she suffers from autoimmune disease, which attacks healthy cells by mistake.
According to Tony Cowden, owner of CrossFit Wilmington, CrossFit combines track and field, gymnastics, power lifting and endurance running.
"You are trying to master so many different sports and their skill sets,'' Cowden said. "It is not like you can do one sport a day, but a combination of each. It goes against a lot of the common methodology. You focus on being this well-rounded athlete. If you have a weakness in the included sports, you will fail.''
Cowden is the coach and Lambert is the CrossFit Wilmington assistant general manager and strength and conditioning coach.
Lambert started doing CrossFit in January 2008, and it quickly became his hobby. He started entering local competitions two years ago and has made major strides.
"What people don't realize about the average fitness buff versus this team or individuals is that our athletes have been eating so healthy for the last 10 months,'' Cowden said. "It is not just that they want to, but it is a deal they make with me. I take it very seriously. They cannot even take a sip of alcohol.''
The team has to raise an estimated $10,000 to participate in the world games. They have set up two fundraisers, the biggest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 13 at CrossFit Wilmington on Capital Drive in the Murrayville Station Business Park. The fundraiser includes a buffet, raffles, competitions and workouts for people of all ages.
The other fundraiser is 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at 22 North restaurant on North Lumina Avenue on Wrightsville Beach. The restaurant will donate 15 percent of sales for the trip.

Mistakes send favored UNCW into third in CAA golf tourney
Published: Friday, April 26, 2013 at 4:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 26, 2013 at 4:17 p.m.
St. James | Talk golf with UNCW men's coach Matt Clark, and eventually he'll say that starting and finishing are the two most difficult aspects of tournament competition.
CAA Men's Golf
Team Leaders: Drexel 303; William & Mary 304; UNCW 305
Saturday: Second round tee times begin at 9 a.m. off both tees.
Updates: Go to golfstat.com or follow StarNews writer Brian Mull on Twitter at @BGMull
Watching the Seahawks play the final holes Friday in the first round of the CAA Championship reinforced his theory.
A layup shot on a par 5 landed in a bunker, 40 yards from the pin. An approach shot sailed over a green into pine straw and nestled beside a clump of wiregrass. A tee shot splashed in a hazard.
Combined, the four counting Seahawks played the final four holes 9-over, producing a team score of 305, two shots behind leader Drexel.
It's a muddled leaderboard with 36 holes remaining at the Reserve at St. James. Only six shots separate the top five teams. The champion receives an invitation to an NCAA Regional, a destination UNCW aims to reach for the fourth consecutive year. After the sour finish, Clark wants smarter, confident play from his favored team Saturday.
"Hope we show up with a little more fight," he said. "That's what I think it comes down to in golf or any sport. You can go out and play and expect things to be given to you, or think things are going to be easy, but they're not in this game."
Errant shots put golfers in precarious situations on this demanding 7,069-yard layout. Hazards and pine trees are prevalent. Significant slope exists in the elevated greens, and balls missing those targets often come to rest on awkward lies in low-lying collection areas.
When the wind freshened to 15 miles per hour in the final hour of UNCW's round, striking precise shots became even more difficult. But the mental miscues upset Clark more than the poor swings.
"You have to deal with elements and hit shots," Clark said. "We didn't execute and made bad decisions. It adds up to ugly golf."
Regardless the conditions, the Seahawks have relied on junior Payne McLeod this season. He's currently the school's career stroke average leader and the CAA's top-rated player, who remained steady Friday despite shaky ballstriking, salvaging the round with an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 9, his last hole.
"I made the five- and six-footers you have to make," McLeod said. "I hit some goofy shots today."
His 73 is two shots behind co-leaders James Braunsberg and Alex Hicks of Drexel, who took different routes to the same score. Braunsberg made an eagle and a double bogey in a rollercoaster round, while Hicks had two birdies, one bogey and 15 pars.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
by Charlie Nardozzi
Vegetable soybeans are not only tasty but healthful. They contain almost 40 percent protein (11 grams per 1/2 cup of cooked beans) and are high in vitamins A and B, calcium, iron, and fiber. Recent research shows that soybeans are high in essential fatty acids and low in saturated fat, and that increased consumption of soybean products may lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.
When most people think of soybeans, they envision vast Midwestern fields of plants that will eventually become animal feed, cooking oil, tofu, and dozens of other soybean-based products. Few gardeners consider growing the beans themselves, let alone eating them fresh. While the typical home garden use of soybeans is as a cover crop, some varieties of the common soybean (Glycine max) have been bred to be eaten fresh. Edamame (ed-uh-mah-may), as the Japanese call vegetable soybeans, are grown in the same way as regular forage crop soybeans, but the pods are harvested at the green or "shell" stage. The green beans pack a high-protein punch and have a sweet, buttery flavor and nutty texture. I've grown them for years, and come summer my daughter always asks when the soybeans will be ready.
Not only are they tasty and nutritious, but edamame are fun to eat. Cook the fuzzy, 2- to 3-inch-long pods for 5 minutes in water, let them cool, then squeeze the beans out of the pods directly into your mouth, tossing the inedible pods aside. Japanese bars serve bowls of warm, salted edamame with beer. You can also use shelled beans in Asian recipes or salads. If you like the taste of beans, peanuts, or cowpeas, or if you want to inspire your kids to eat more vegetables, consider growing a row of edamame.
Edamame Varieties
Any soybean can be harvested and eaten at the green stage, but it won't be as sweet and tender as a variety developed for eating fresh. Most of these varieties are from China (where the beans are called maodou), Taiwan, and Japan -- regions where the beans are wildly popular. Recently, some of these varieties have reached North America.
If you live in a cool-summer climate, you need to choose varieties carefully because edamame are sensitive to cool nights and take longer than bush beans to mature. Varieties listed as maturing in 70 to 80 days may take more than 100 days. In five-year trials by Washington State University's Cooperative Extension Office in Lewis County, 18 varieties were evaluated for earliness, quantity of pods, and number and size of beans (three beans per pod is considered excellent, while two beans is acceptable).
Some varieties never produced pods before frost, but others were clear winners. 'Lucky Lion', 'Sapporo Midori', and 'White Lion' matured early and developed the most and plumpest pods. Two American varieties, 'Butterbean' (not to be confused with this common name for lima beans) and 'Envy' also performed well, with 'Envy' maturing earlier.

Silkie: Socks that Rock® takes a journey down the Silk Road. In this yarn, you will find the same ultra fine merino that is used in STR, with the addition of bombyx silk. Silkie is a 3-ply yarn and one of the plies consists of a blend of silk and merino. Because of this, it takes the dye a little lighter than the other two plies, which creates a heathered effect when knit. Although it is superwash, we recommend handwashing this yarn. Silkie is luxurious and certainly not just a sock yarn!

Oak Creek Salvation Army open for those in need of warm place to spend time
Oak Creek — With dangerously low temperatures Monday and Tuesday, the Salvation Army has been open to those who do not have a warm place to stay.
While the temperatures have been so low, many staff members of the Salvation Army were asked to stay home. But Business Administrator Ken Tregellas stayed on deck to assist.
During the day, the Salvation Army is open as a refuge from frigid temperatures.
"They can come here, have a place to hang out, stay warm, get a cup of coffee and something to eat," Tregellas said.
The cold has filled area shelters, so Tregellas arranged for a hotel room for one family that has no place else to stay. Other than that family, he's only had a handful of people ask for assistance, he said.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek baseball team passes test with win over Homestead, 7-3
The Oak Creek baseball team has passed many tests en route to a one-game lead with just three contests left in the Greater Metro Conference race.
What it hasn't had a lot of time for is a great deal of high level nonconference action, so the Knights made a road trip to a place where they haven't been since 2005, a place where even the legendary Tony Butler proved to be mortal.
Knights baseball coach Scott Holler could only smile at the memory.
"The last time we were at Rennicke Field (in Mequon), Tony (Butler) was playing first base and a ground ball went through his legs and we lost (laughs)," said Holler.
The comment came shortly after the Knights put together a solid effort Friday night, especially on the defensive end, in their return trip to Rennicke, with a 7-3 decision over a good Homestead team.» Read Full Article
Canterbury earns two School of Merit awards
Greendale — Canterbury Elementary was awarded two 2015-16 School of Merit awards from the Wisconsin Response to Intervention (RtI) Center.
This is the second consecutive year the school has been recognized.
One of 222 statewide schools recognized for implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Canterbury also was among 125 schools who received School of Merit honors in Reading. The second award came from their "implementation of a culturally responsive multilevel system of support," a news release reads.
The goal of PBIS is to help the school more effectively meet social-emotional needs of students through a support system for behavior.
Michael Mullen, principal of Canterbury, said the program "uses data to guide student support needs and provide small group instruction geared toward meeting those needs in reading." He said the support system is available for all students, not just those who are struggling.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek increases dog ownership limit from two to three
Oak Creek — It's been said every dog has its day.
For some dogs in Oak Creek, that day was June 21 when the common council passed an ordinance 4-1 allowing residents to own up to three dogs — an increase of one over the previous maximum.
Mayor Steve Scaffidi said he supported the measure but it "requires neighbors cooperating."
Jean Rhoten works with a local animal rescue and spoke during public comment. She said the city has an "outstanding number of kids who get it," referring to the need of rescuing animals and what it takes to care for them. Many teens and kids sat with Rhoten in the audience, awaiting the council's decision.
"You've got a great opportunity here to make a minor change," Rhoten said.» Read Full Article

Wounded Warrior now "The Chowventor"
Hales Corners —After being honorably discharged from the Air Force after 10 years of service, wounded warrior Amber Frymark began searching for a new career.
"As a disabled veteran, I actually struggled with social anxiety, so having the average job was not working. I had to find a way to do something meaningful," Frymark said. "I felt like my only route was to create something on my own, with no lesson plan whatsoever."
So, early in 2016, she created "Chowventions," a "food invention company" based in Hales Corners.
Shortly after starting her own business, an acquaintance emailed Frymark about the Hottest Kitchen Entrepreneur Challenge saying that she should enter.
She said, "It can't hurt," and early in June, the competition sponsors announced that she was a startup finalist.» Read Full Article

Watercolor paintings of nature on display at Botanical Gardens
Chris Sommerfelt's watercolor paintings will be on view in the Garden House of the Boerner Botanical Gardens, 9400 Boerner Drive, from June 25—July 17.
Sommerfelt's work will be on display every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. In addition, the public is invited to meet the artist during a reception at 5:30 p.m. July 14.
All of Sommerfelt's work primarily features nature in her chosen medium of watercolor paint.
"I believe no medium works better than watercolor for expressing the beauty of the natural world. It's transparency and the way that pigment mixes and moves in the water gives the medium its own voice in addition to the intent of the artist," Sommerfelt's artist statement reads.
A member of the League of Milwaukee Artists, Wisconsin Watercolor Society, and the Wauwatosa Artists Workshop, she began working in watercolor in the early 1980s. She has recieved awards for her work, and her work was accepted in the 2014 and 2015 Watercolor Wisconsin exhibit of the Wustum Museum in Racine.

Oak Creek baseball coach Holler earns 300th win
Baseball has a number for everything.
Just for the sake of argument, let's throw out these digits: 30, 100, 14 and 300.
Thirty is the number of runs the storied Oak Creek team, owner of four WIAA state summer baseball titles, gave up in a cosmically bad opener, 30-4, to Greater Metro Conference rival Marquette on May 23.
One hundred is the number of losses that particular defeat gave Knight coach Scott Holler for his career.

Oak Creek baseball team plays small ball to beat Menomonee Falls
The storied history of the Oak Creek baseball team is filled with balls sprayed all over the park and epic home runs.
But with a dry, rock-hard infield Tuesday night at Abendschein Park against red-hot defending state champion Menomonee Falls, the Knights played a little small ball and used it to great effect.
The first three batters in both the second and fourth innings got on base without benefit of the ball leaving the infield. The Knights wound up scoring twice in each frame and then rode DJ Ellifson's complete game effort to a pivotal, 5-1 victory.
"I even thought about a safety squeeze late and I'm not a fan of squeezing," said Knights coach Scott Holler, "but I do like to bunt. I saw an opprtunity to keep pushing things and we got a couple of balls down.
"And it was a really fast track tonight (on the infield)."» Read Full Article
Rolling road forces bumpy review in Hales Corners
Hales Corners — Hales Corners Department of Public Works (DPW) is looking into repairing 110th Street after reports that the asphalt is "rolling up."
In 2013 and 2014, a fiberglass grid was installed underneath a top layer of asphalt on the street to increase the road's structural integrity. However, the road has become distressed and is showing signs of de-lamination.
"The surface layer of asphalt placed on top of this grid is slipping," Director of Public Works Michael Martin explained. He added that officials are currently investigating the cause with the grid installer and paving contractor.
Hales Corners installed the grid on this road as a pilot test to see if it could cost effectively extend pavement life. Fiberglass grids are supposed to improve structural integrity, load distribution and pavement flexibility, while reducing cracking in the road. The idea is to negate the need to rebuild the entire road, and instead only alter the surface.
Martin suggested that substandard drainage in the area may have made the base layers of asphalt on the street soft, and that soft foundation cannot adequately support the road and traffic on top.» Read Full Article

Clayton Kleppen, Columbus I think it is time to stop the chatter about if they covered up facts about the Benghazi incident. It is obvious they have lied about the facts....
Republican Meet the Press?

The Media are Pretending that Republicans aren't Lying?
Horse feathers.
Since when have the Republicans had advocates in the media, other than what the libs fondly refer to as Faux News?
What I'd like is some honest reporters interested in digging up facts & figures to do either of the following: 1) help to prove the allegations against the administration or 2) help to dismiss them.
Sensational stories aside, responsible investigative journalists should be applying for this situation.
Where are the Bob Woodwards of today?

Real issues.
Like, is the unemployment rate significantly below 8%?
Do people have confidence in this current economy?
Has there been real bipartisan support for any issues in DC?
Why can't this administration face allegations head on?
Why isn't this administration held responsible for its actions?
Why all the deflection from issues?
Is nobody supposed to question those in government anymore?
Since when?

The POTUS is an ineffectual simpleton in over his head, simply unable to control his own government.
Something like this that shakes the very foundations of our trust in our government and it's institutions and is possibly illegal is described as "customer service"? I don't care how high up it was known about. It happened on Obama's and Geithner watch and they are accountable. It's their people, they appointed or hired them, and they failed in their due diligence obligations
He spent his time appointing Czars and 122 days on the golf course. The Czars were mostly all of left wing radical persuasion. Is this what we want enforcing Obamacare? Is this what 51% voted for.

Clayton Kleppen is apparently fighting his own personal war on terror . . . and losing . . .
But, Clay does bring up an intriguing legal question:
If Americans die in a terrorist attack, can we prosecute our own Commander-in-Chief for negligence or dereliction of duty?

The right wing fuzz machine claims another in Columbus. There is a reason the Repubs have backed down, there is nothing there. This was a CIA hangout. 7 diplomats and 28 CIA operatives there. More political garbage from the right. The obstructionist are running wild. But, goofy in Columbus watches Fox News and listens to Rush. Ha
