Single women are in abundance in this modern world, looking for the right partner to meet up with. Dating single women, initially with chatting on the web is an ideal way of getting acquainted before that first direct contact. Elite on line dating services are available with varying methods of 'breaking the ice' and making people comfortable about seeking the ideal new partner.
There are special categories such as 'never married women' and 'personal single women', and many other categories that people can focus on in the search for different types of women. A perfect match is never guaranteed, but most agencies go out of their way to try to achieve this.
Of course there are dating providers for all genders and types, as well as various categories. You are free to determine just what kind of person you are looking for, even in this day and age. Some people like to specify the actual nationality of person-and no, this is not considered as racist-yet. In this busy world, it is sometimes difficult to find the time or circles where like-minded people tend to meet up. A chat or dating centre forms the ideal forum to bring like parties together. For single women particularly, it is sometimes very difficult to frequent places in person, as well as being possibly dangerous. With a communication forum, they peruse people from the comfort and safety of their home. Most agencies keep detailed records of their clients and screen them as best they can, just in case there could be any future problems.
Depending on the particular site you are dealing with, basic particulars are usually posted and photos usually withheld until both parties wish to be shown. Initially you fill out a form stating things like age, profession, hobbies and interests and the type of person profile you are most interested in. You can either go into a main forum which is shared by many people or do a one to one contact. Many relationships blossom over a period of time and this is the most advised process. People naturally feel nervous and time is a great adjuster. There have been many success stories of people meeting in this way. Many of them are highly publicised. One of the most famous ones happened in America who believed her husband had drowned in a sea wreck. Her sister later joined a single women dating agency and actually met up with her sister's husband who turned out to have survived the disaster and had lost his memory-amazing stuff and there are many more happy ending stories, hopefully one for you. Joining an elite online agency could not be easier and the reputable ones make you feel so comfortable and at ease to make the experience a natural one.

Reviewed by 8 customers
Was very pleased with my order. Great quality and was better than I expeccted. Wish they came in a larger size the way my husband eats Ramens. Lol! Shipping time was very quick and great pricing. Will gladly shop again.
I bought these bowls as a gift for my boyfriend, and find myself using them all the time! The quality of the bowls are great. They are dishwasher safe, and have already gone through a wash without problem! The price is very reasonable for both bowls. I would highly recommend them to any Ramen lover!
I purchased these bowls as gifts for ramen noodle lovers and was so excited when they came. I did notice they were packaged rather poorly, just two boxes inside each other holding the two bowls each in their own little box. One of my bowls came shattered beyond any repair. I had anticipated having to send both back in order to get a refund but was so shocked when I called the customer service to hear that they would be shipping me out the new ones and was able to do as I please with the first ones that came. Although bummed about them coming broken they definitely made up for the great customer service! They are so cute and perfect for college gifts!!!
More than just cutesy bowls, they are well made and have some style as well.
Best purchase ever! I purchased the "Ramen" bowls and the "Soup" bowls for our Holiday gift exchange. Cost effective, great quality and cute as can be... what more do I want.
I keep teasing my son that all he ever eats is ramen now that he's living on his own. What better gift than his very own ramen bowls? They're heavy bowls and the set includes spoons and chopsticks.
Nice product for the price, one spoon did have an imperfection due to poor glazing, however, not that big of an issue.
I always eat ramen, its just so easy to make, and so good! I got a red and green one, and i love how the spoon fits in the handle! also the handles don't get super hot like the rest of the bowl if you put it in the microwave, love it!

The use of woodlots in traditional pasture systems as a means to modify the timing, distribution, and quality of forages are being researched at AFSRC. The goal is to provide producers with dependable plant resources and management practices that improve the seasonal distribution and persistence of high quality herbage, sustainability and environmental integrity of the agricultural landscape. Some results of the studies were recently published (Neel, J. P. S., C. M. Feldhake, and D. P. Belesky. 2008. Influence of Solar Radiation on the Productivity and Nutritive Value of Herbage of Cool-Season Species of an Understorey Sward in a Mature Conifer Woodland. Grass and Forage Science, 63(1):38-47).

World Expositions have traditionally, since the first fair in London in 1851, served as a showcase for the ages of industrialization and globalization. Nation branding has emerged in the last twenty years. The Shanghai World Expo will undoubtedly supply these functions. But it will also signal the new age of cities, with the first universal exposition focused on cities. No city more symbolizes the new urban age than Shanghai. The theme, "Better City, Better Life," culminates millennia of human imagination about the better city. In Shanghai the challenge of how to create a low carbon footprint, a largely self-sustaining urban environment, will be explored in detail.
Everything about the Shanghai World Expo, which runs from May 1-October 31, is supersized- and that is everything from the food, the buildings, the roads, the designs and the vibrant events that would be put on show. This Expo can be classed as the Olympics of architectural design. There are 200 pavilions from countries, Chinese cities, various international organizations and corporations. Seventy million people and 400,000 daily are expected to attend- the vast majority of them are anticipated to be Chinese nationals. The Expo, spread across both sides of the Huangpu River, in both the old Puxi and new Pudong, required 30,000 workers and now utilizes 70,000 volunteers. An estimated 100 cultural events are planned daily, totaling 20,000 through the end of October. Various conferences on urbanization will occur. The size and extent of the security operation has not been disclosed, but the entire city, not just the Expo area, has been placed on lock down. There will be many in China who will be unwilling or unable to attend the Expo. Therefore the government has created the first virtual Expo, which will reach 100 million people.
Preparations for the Expo included a vast scheme of urban modernization. Shanghai has doubled the subway lines, built a new airport terminal, renovated the historic Bund waterfront, and launched a promotional campaign with the blue mascot and various media that has reached into every corner of the city. No other country has the ability or will to undertake such a mass campaign. The Shanghai government has given every resident one free ticket and travel money to insure families attend.
Beyond the unending superlatives and complaints about crowds, the Expo will achieve three important objectives. First, is to bring hundreds of millions of Chinese into the modern world, by bringing the modern world to them. China will achieve in six months what could have taken decades to achieve anywhere else in the world. Second, the Expo will provide the most important examination of urban life ever assembled in our lifetime (well, in my lifetime anyways!). The Urban Best Practices area will display real space sustainable projects on buildings, roads, public space and infrastructure. And finally, the Expo will significantly strengthen the national commitment to low carbon development. This, for sure, will bring the issue of green house gases on the agenda at most of the press conferences that will happen throughout the duration of the expo.
The signature pavilion of the Expo is the Chinese red "oriental crown" Pavilion, almost three times taller than any other structure. It is a statement to the Chinese people, and anyone else who has not yet figured it out, of where China stands in the world. On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong declared to the people of China, "The Chinese people have stood up". On Opening Day, May 1, 2010, this is proclaimed to the world. Below are some of the photos I took on a recent VIP tour of the expo prior to its opening:

Portuguese-Style Alaskan Crab Stew
This great cold-weather recipe cals for chorizo sausage: the spicy pork links and patties popular in Spain, Portugal, and Latin American.

Andrew Weil, M.D. gave us the recipe for our first links (Savory Country Style), and for our Chorizo-Style and Italian-Style Salmon Sausage patties.
Portuguese-Style Alaskan Crab Stew

I find in life this principle: People find what they look for.
If you look for a reason not to do something, you will find it.
In the same way, if you look for a reason to do something, you will find it.
If you look for hypocrisy in the Church, you will find it.
As a Christian, one cannot leave the Church and still be in a healthy relationship with Christ.
Should we not instead be thankful that God accepts imperfect sinners like ourselves
and bear with each other in our imperfect growing processes?
If you look for laziness and hedonism outside of the church, you will find it.
As a Christian, one cannot hide in the church building
and isolate oneself from the hedonists in the world.
Should we not instead see just how much we have the same hedonistic practices
and see the amazing work Christ is doing in our lives to make us as though we were righteous
and see the potential every lost person has for God to do amazing things in their lives?
[I have recently been asking God to give me compassion for those who do not yet have the life-giving presence of Christ in their lives. This is one area in which I tend to be complacent: I don't want anyone to go to Hell, but I usually tell myself that I can't do anything to stop it.]
The same principle applies when viewing different cultures: I just returned from Romania
where I had many opportunities to form opinions about Romanian culture.
Whenever anyone travels to a different part of the globe, he or she carries pre-formed assumptions about what the people and living conditions will be like.
If you look for backwardness in Romania, you will find it.
Horse-drawn wagons are a common sight in every village and city in Romania.
If you look for technological advancements in Romania, you will find them.
To me, Java Juice and frappaccinos are an essential technological advancement.
If you look for kindness and integrity, you will find it.
If you look for insolence and dishonesty, you will find it.
So what do you want to find?
The truth about grace?
How much God loves you?
What God's will is for your life?
Who God Is?
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

Charles "Charlie" Myers has never met an ice cream, gelato or soft-serve yogurt he didn't like. Aside from its pure deliciousness, it's his true appreciation for what it took for that frozen concoction to reach him in the first place that makes it so sweet.
The recently retired former GM of Truckload Freight at uShip, Charlie has spent a sizable helping of his 39 years in transportation industry dedicated to the cold chain and refrigerated transport infrastructure. In fact, he first became interested in refrigerated transportation while with England Logistics and working on the company's entrance into the China domestic market. He's also been on the Board of Directors at the International Refrigerated Transportation Association (IRTA) and been involved with Uzbekistan's cold chain expansion as well.
Charlie was recently named "Executive of the Year" by the IRTA for his years of service to the association and his commitment to working with the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) International Programs on donor-funded projects to improve the refrigerated transportation industry around the world. The GCCA recently profiled Charlie in its quarterly newsletter, digging into what drives his desire around reefer transport and more. Check it out here.
Congrats, Charlie!

2008 News Releases
Longwood listed among Princeton Review's Best Southeastern Colleges
August 7, 2008
Longwood University is among 139 schools in the Southeastern U.S. listed in the Princeton Review's 2009 Best Colleges: Region by Region. Student opinion data from 630 schools is featured on the Best Colleges: Region by Region section of PrincetonReview.com.
"Record enrollments, new academic offerings and state-of-the art facilities are bringing it all together for Longwood," said Bob Chonko, dean of admissions at Longwood University. "We're delivering a student experience that's second to none, and it is wonderful to see Princeton Review continue to recognize Longwood as one of the region's best."
The 139 colleges The Princeton Review chose for its "Best in the Southeast" designations are located in twelve states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The Princeton Review also designated 212 colleges in the Northeast, 120 in the West, and 159 in the Midwest as best in their locales on the company's 2009 Best Colleges: Region by Region section on its site. The 630 colleges named "regional best(s)" represent only about 25 percent (one out of four) of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
The Princeton Review survey for this project asks students to rate their own schools on several issues -- from the accessibility of their professors to quality of the campus food -- and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life. Published annually since 1992, the book is one of 200 Princeton Review titles published by Random House. No school has ever paid a fee to be in it.
The Princeton Review is a New York-based education services company also known for its test-prep courses. The Princeton Review is not affiliated with Princeton University.

Delta Xi Phi
Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
Delta Xi Phi
Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. was founded on April 20, 1994, on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) campus by 15 strong and determined young women. Longing for diversity at UIUC, these women wanted to establish a sisterhood that embraced all ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, sexual preferences and financial backgrounds. In the spring of 1992, two different groups of women who were seeking to establish a sorority at UIUC learned of each other's intentions. The two groups merged and were known as Women for the Advancement of a Multicultural Society (WAMS). WAMS contacted several sororities on other college campus about establishing a chapter at UIUC. However, none of the sororities possessed what WAMS desired. On April 20, 1993, WAMS decided to stop looking at other sororities and start one of their own. The women of WAMS went though a year-long pledge process during which a strong bond of sisterhood and friendship was formed. One year later, WAMS became the founding mothers of the Alpha Chapter of Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority.
Kappa's Chapter History
In March of 2002, former UA Dean of Students Tom Strong sent a mass e-mail to undergraduate women who were interested in joining a sorority that embraced all colors, creeds, backgrounds and cultures. From this meeting, a group of roughly 25 women came together to bring a diverse sisterhood to The University of Alabama.
They decided to name themselves Uniting Capstone Women (UCW). After much research on national multicultural sororities, the women of UCW voted to bring a chapter of Delta Xi Phi to campus. In January of 2003, a split occurred in UCW due to differing points of view.
Seven women continued to pursue the pillars and values of Delta Xi Phi while another group decided to start a Greek organization of their own. On February 22, 2003, the seven women formed the Kappa Colony of Delta Xi Phi with a vision for change. After weeks of hard work and dedication, the women were revealed as the Kappa Chapter of Delta Xi Phi at 9:10 p.m. on May 3, 2003.

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D - Ore) issued the following statement today hours before the Majority leadership was set to bring their budget proposal to a vote in the United States House of Representatives. The budget proposal would drastically add to the national debt, cut billions of dollars in domestic spending, and authorizes an additional $228 billion in tax cuts.
"I cannot support a budget plan that makes the overall budget deficit worse
while pushing further tax cuts. The Republicans are not only borrowing the cost
of their war, but they are trying to hide these costs in 'emergency' spending
bills, instead of the normal budget process. This budget short-changes our
future while piling up an unsustainable debt load on our children. And, by only
providing one-year "fixes" to the Alternative Minimum Tax, we are putting at
risk the futures of middle-class families.
"The budget plan calls for an additional $228 billion in tax cuts, simply adding to our borrowed debt and increasing interest payments for taxpayers. Republican leadership continues to punt the hard questions and wait for a dire situation or the next administration to make the tough decisions on issues such as the Alternative Minimum Tax and skyrocketing deficit. Hundreds of thousands of Oregonians are penalized by the AMT, a tax that middle-income families were never intended to pay.
"It is time for Congress to face up to our fiscal problems and deal honestly
with American taxpayers about the budget accounting and deficits. This budget
doesn't begin to do this."

I am the 99%
I just got an email from Elizabeth Warren's campaign about President Obama's appointment of Richard Cordray as the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This gives me hope that we can change this deeply broken system.
I am a native English speaker with a Master's Degree. I am employed as a software engineer at Stanford University. Clearly, I have some advantages in my favor and I know how to use my brain effectively in many situations. And yet I signed a mortgage I could not understand because I trusted people who seemed nice to explain it to me and look out for my best interests. That was a terrible mistake that I'm paying for heavily right now.
I am one of the people whose home is in foreclosure. The stress of not being able to keep up with my house payments caused me tremendous grief, irreparable damage to my marriage, plenty of stress-related damage to my body, and has left some deep emotional scars that I am just starting to learn how to heal.
Let's heal this country. Let's elect people who give a damn about other people. Elect Elizabeth Warren: http://elizabethwarren.com/

Honest question (it might sound sarcastic, but its not…I'm really trying to understand): what is so hard about understanding a mortgage? You are borrowing money to buy a house. Your payment each month is $xxxx.
Comment from bess
Time: July 2, 2012, 11:37 am
Hi, David.
You're describing the most basic straightforward kind of mortgage, and if everyone had stuck to mortgages like that we wouldn't be in this giant financial mess. However, we wanted to buy and renovate a house that was in terrible shape. No plumbing, electricity, heat, etc. Our hearts were in the right place — fixing up an abandoned historic property in downtown Charlottesville would be better for the environment, great for the community, wouldn't contribute to urban sprawl, we would be re-using lots of existing construction materials… lots of good reasons to do this!
However, we didn't have a lot of money. No problem! We found out about renovation mortgages, where you borrow the purchase price of the house plus enough for the renovation. However the "plus enough for the renovation" amount was tied up in a poorly documented process that left us vulnerable to fraudulent contractors, with no legal recourse. It was a terrible contract that we should never have signed. We ended up making payments on a loan whose proceeds we could not receive without a counter-signature from our contractor, who abandoned us for a more lucrative job soon after our renovation started (and the contract had no provision for replacing the contractor!). So we had payments that assumed a full renovation, but most of that renovation money stayed at the bank because our contractor wasn't doing the work, and in the meantime we couldn't live in the house. We ended up doing much of the work ourselves, but WE couldn't be paid for that work, only HE could be, because of the way the contract was written. There was much more to the story, not the least of which was the total refusal of the bank to even discuss the situation with us.
Basically, this was one of the many poorly thought out mortgages that banks were offering at the height of the bubble. We thought we were smart, we thought we had done our homework. We did not understand the situation we were in until it was too late.

Blue Streaks tame Tigers
Special to Highlands Today Sebring and Martin County bowlers have had a friendly but very competitive rivalry for the past several years. Both schools have talented bowlers and a dedicated coaching staff. Since the two schools began competing in District 12, Martin County has amassed a three-year winning streak against all other schools in regular season match play. Two years ago, Sebring defeated Martin County to win the Kegel High School Challenge which is an additional event open to all Florida high school bowling teams. In regular match play, the Blue Streaks have won individual games, but were never able to claim a match win over the Tigers.In similar fashion, the Blue Streak girls' team had also fallen to Martin County in regulation play. In fact, the Blue Streak girls had never won a game against Martin County since their inaugural year just two seasons ago. The Blue Streak bowlers finally turned the tide and ended Martin County's three-year period of domination on Tuesday at Stuart Bowl, Martin County's home lanes. The victory was even more challenging by virtue of a major remodeling project at Stuart Bowl which was in progress. The bowling center carpet had been taken up and a new cement had been laid down and sanded. The fine dust from this finish sanding was everywhere causing a combination of too much slide on some occasions and abrupt stops on others. This challenge raised the level of tension for all the players and made the rivalry even more intense. The triumphant Blue Streak boys' team was again led by sophomore David Daniels who put together games of 237 and 228 to cripple the Tigers. Nick Brod, Thorsten Przychocki and Carl Daniels backed up David in the first match game with scores of 215, 212 and 198, respectively. Cole Rankin filled in with a solid 189 to enable the Blue Streaks to win the first game by a whopping 106 pins (1,051 to 945)! In game two, the Tigers attempted a comeback, as is their normal style, but the Blue Streaks remained confident and were leading until the 9th frame. Senior Carl Daniels came to the rescue by finishing with a crucial double in the 10th frame for a 202 game. J.C. Bowen, who came off the bench to play in game two, had a slow start but also finished with a strike and spare in the 10th. Martin County rallied in the final frames and the Blue Streaks were at risk of losing and having to go into Baker format play to obtain a win. Enter Nick Brod, in the number 3 spot in the lineup. Nick struggled in the early half of game two with definite slide problems from the sanding dust. Frustrated, but undaunted, he finished with a flurry of four strikes in the 9th and 10th frames to send a lightning bolt straight at the Martin County bowlers. Przychocki, who opened game two with a triple, struck in the 10th and just missed a double with a solid 4-pin leave which he converted. At this point, the match was almost even with Martin County holding a slight lead. Coach Wiltse made a decision to have David Daniels wait on the last two players in the Martin County lineup, forcing them to finish first under the pressure of the close match. Martin County's first bowler rolled a nine count, but failed to convert the spare. This gave the Blue Streaks a single pin lead going into the final frame. The Tiger's anchor bowler needed a double to have a chance close out a win; however, he failed to strike leaving a single pin spare. At this point, Coach Wiltse gave David Daniels the go ahead to decide the fate of the Streaks. Daniels was only in this key position due to the clutch performance by his teammates and now all the pressure was on him to break the Martin County winning streak and secure a match victory. As everyone watched, Daniels stepped up on the dusty approaches and calmly posted two strikes in the 10th to start a new winning streak against Martin County that will hopefully continue for many years! The Blue Streak girls had never won a match game against Martin County, so they promptly changed that status in game 1 with Adrianna Stacy leading the way with a beautiful 211 score. Jessica Chaney was right behind with a 208 and Katryanna Barina followed with a 197. Tejal Desai posted a 119 and Marissa Andujar, who has been bowling very well this year, struggled a bit but finished with a 112. The Blue Streak girls were victorious over Martin County for the 1st time in a close game, 847 to 842. Even though Martin County came back to win the girls match, Adrianna Stacy posted a 212 in game 2 for a 211.5 average. Katryanna Barina finished with a 170 making her average 183.5 for the day and Jessica Chaney posted an average of 174.5. Marissa Andujar bounced back with a 164 in game two and Tejal Desai rolled a 122. The Blue Streaks can be seen on Saturday at the Kegel Training Center in Lake Wales when they will attempt to retake their title at the Kegel High School Challenge.

The San Francisco Bay Joint Venture recently honored Dr. Fritz Reid with its Holly Andre Award for leadership. Reid is director of conservation programs at DU's Western Regional Office in Sacramento, California. This is only the fourth time this award has been presented.
"This award means a lot, considering the great conservation accomplishments in the Bay Area over the past 12 years," Reid said. "But it's extra special to me because I worked so closely with Holly during her career with DU."
Holly was DU's first director of conservation policy in the Western Region. She was instrumental in helping start the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture and was one of its founding board members and chairs. She passed away in 2001.
The San Francisco Bay Joint Venture's management board consists of 26 agencies and private organizations. Its mission is to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands, uplands, and riparian habitat within and around the bay. San Francisco Bay has historically been one of the most important western wintering grounds for scaup, scoters, and canvasbacks. DU has played a vital role in aiding scientific inquiry and wetland restoration in the San Francisco Bay area.

We're obviously far too mature to laugh at this sort of thing, but we will admit to a sly smile at the sight of Samsung's Galaxy Tab with a "Porn" button in the menus. No, this isn't the Korean company's attempt to corner the tablet erotica market - that Steve Jobs so memorably said the iPad offered "freedom" from - but a poorly judged design decision on the Romanian version of the Froyo slate.
Mobilissimo spotted the incongruously labeled button on the Galaxy Tab, and handily have an explanation too. Apparently the Romanian for "start" can be translated as "Pornire", which Samsung's UI engineers have subsequently abbreviated. Pressing it will, we're guessing, take you back to the Android homescreen, rather than unlocking a cornucopia of illicit thrills.

Strategy for NIH Funding
To help you make informed decisions at each step, this page gives you an overview of timing from application to award, including the consequences of applying at different times of the year, the status of the Institute's budget, factors that may delay your award, and other key topics.
Look at our table to see the correlations between the budget, stage of the fiscal year, and R01 payline, and read a summary of the reasons you may not get funded right away.
For details on timing for each step of application and funding, go to the appropriate timing page for Parts 2 to 7 or view all Strategy Timelines.
(This section has factual information only; for advice on this topic, go to Our Advice below.)
For timelines with action items, go to the page that corresponds to the stage you are looking for.
Go to R01 Planning to Award Timeline by Review Cycle for more in-depth timing information.
For an application funded on the first try, count on between 5 and 20 months from submission to award, depending on factors we describe below. That timeframe does not include the several months it will take to plan and write your application or the many months extra if you need to resubmit.
Note that the time span for AIDS applications is three months shorter because applications are due later for the same review cycle.
For investigator-initiated applications, receipt dates vary by activity code (e.g., R01 or R21) and grant type (e.g., new or resubmission).
The NIH Guide announcement for your funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will give you a receipt date, a deadline for submitting your application electronically.
But note that your internal deadline is your key due date, not the NIH date. Even so, the NIH receipt date will trigger other dates relevant to your submission.
For an investigator-initiated application (including some program announcements), you will apply by one of NIH's three standard receipt dates (except for institutional training grants), called cycles 1, 2, and 3.
For example, new non-AIDS R01 applications are due February 5, June 5, and October 5.
Dates for other applications differ by various factors:
Find all dates on Standard Due Dates for Competing Applications.
At NIAID, T32 and T35 training grants have only one annual deadline: September 25 for non-AIDS and January 7 for AIDS-related applications.
Here are a few more items you need to know about NIH receipt dates.
If you serve on any of the following committees, you can apply for an R01, R21, or R34 any time, regardless of a standard receipt date.
This policy, called continuous submission, does not apply to RFAs or funding opportunity announcements that have only one receipt date. Read Do You Qualify for Continuous Submission?
Some required items do not go in the application. Instead, you send them just-in-time when your application is within a range of possible funding.
NIH uses just-in-time for other support information and several items for human subjects, human embryonic stem cells, and vertebrate animal research. Read more in Prepare Your Just-in-Time Information in Part 3.
If your application scores within the payline, we will fund it (assuming no administrative issues), but Cycle 1 applications are usually delayed because we don't have a budget.
Only about half of fundable R01 applications typically receive an award on time (see Summary of Why You May Not Get Funded Right Away below), and we fund the largest number in the last half of the fiscal year.
"On time" means you see your Notice of Award in the Commons within six to eight weeks of our advisory Council meeting, earlier if your application underwent expedited second-level review. (Read more about first- and second-level review in Part 5. Assignment and Review.)
For an investigator-initiated application, time to award depends to a great degree on which of the three cycles (noted above) you choose.
Below we discuss award timing for the different cycles for applications that scored within and above the payline and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each cycle.
Application scores within the payline. If your application scores within the payline, we will fund it, assuming it has no administrative issues, e.g., for research animals or human subjects.
But at the beginning of a fiscal year—which begins on October 1—awards for Cycle 1 applications are usually delayed because we don't have a budget. Typically, Congress has not yet passed our appropriations bill, so we do not know how much money we will have to fund grants.
Here's what happens.
We begin each fiscal year using interim paylines so we can start making some awards.
After Congress passes our appropriations bill and the president signs it into law, our budget office crunches the numbers and sets our new paylines so we can start awarding more grants.
We generally start posting interim paylines in the fall and post actual paylines in winter or sometimes even spring.
For an illustration of these events, see the table Correlation of Budget, Fiscal Year Stage, and R01 Payline With Hypothetical Timing below.
For an above-the-payline application, you have the longest pause for Cycle 1— possibly an additional 10 months—for a funding decision.
Application scores above the payline. If your application scores above the payline—even just above—it may be deferred for a funding decision until near the end of the fiscal year for a different reason than the one described above.
We set our actual paylines at very conservative levels because we don't know the scores of applications coming in later in the fiscal year. (Note that here we are referring to our actual, not interim, paylines.)
As a result, toward the end of the fiscal year we stop using paylines and make more—often many more—awards.
We fund many of those applications by percentile or overall impact/priority score order and pay others that are programmatically important. That last point is a good reason for you to discuss the importance of your research with your program officer before applying.
For an above-the-payline application, you also have the longest pause if you applied for Cycle 1. You may need to wait till the next August—possibly an additional 10 months—for a funding decision.
Because other actions are possible, talk to your program officer about your options if funding is not imminent.
No budget yet
October 1—fiscal year begins.
Usually, we do not have a budget and operate under a continuing resolution at the previous fiscal year's funding level.
We use interim paylines to fund a limited number of applications. Other awards are delayed.
Have a budget
Congress passes our appropriations bill, and the president signs it into law, setting NIH's budget levels.
For the next several weeks, budget figures are analyzed and parsed within the Department of Health and Human Services before the new budget figures arrive at NIAID.
Crunch budget numbers
Over several weeks, our budget office sets a conservative R01 payline that we maintain until the end of the fiscal year approaches.
We fund Council-approved grant applications that rank within the payline and a few others through special funding programs.
Close of the fiscal year begins.
Around this time, we stop funding by paylines because they are no longer relevant.
Because we set our paylines conservatively, we usually have money left over at the end of the fiscal year to fund some of the deferred applications that missed the payline.
Find more details at Paylines and Budget Pages Change Throughout the Year.
Time from application to award can vary by as much as a year. Here is a list of the major timing factors influencing grant awards, including those already described above.
Whether we have a congressional appropriation. If your application goes to September or October Council, it will be funded in the next fiscal year, which may delay funding. You can check the budget status on our Paylines and Funding portal.
Whether you are in the funding "gray zone." Many high-quality applications that scored somewhat above the payline are deferred for a funding decision until later in the fiscal year. If you want more information on that topic, read When We Defer a Funding Decision in Part 7.
Whether your application undergoes expedited Council review. About eight weeks before each Council meeting, a subset of members performs an electronic expedited review for qualifying applications. Read more at Council's Second-Level Review in Part 5.
Whether you are submitting an investigator-initiated application for AIDS or AIDS-related research. It will have a later receipt date for the same funding date. See NIH's Standard Due Dates for Competing Applications.
Whether you are responding to a request for applications. RFAs and some program announcements have their own receipt dates. Learn more in FOAs Explained in Part 2.
Whether we need foreign clearance for your application. Contact your program officer for help.
Whether the grant type is complex. Contact your grants management specialist for help.
(This section has advice only; you should also read the factual information above at Just the Facts .)
Expect the unexpected. Build in extra time for items you cannot control since surprises are sure to happen.
It's a long and winding road that leads to the door of a funded grant, and many of the twists you encounter can lengthen or shorten the way.
When planning your application, figure the journey will take from 5 to 20 months from the time you submit to the day you get an award if your application is funded on the first try—far longer if you need to resubmit. That time does not include the several months it will take you to plan and write your application.
Such an extended time span makes a strong case for careful planning and execution at every stage.
Perfect the steps you can control. These actions include choosing a project that's right for you and creating as impeccable an application as you can. Read more in Part 2. Pick and Design a Project and Part 3. Write Your Application.
Expect the unexpected. Build in extra time for items you cannot control since surprises are sure to arise. For example, your mentor may recommend major revisions to your draft, or one of your collaborators may back out at the last minute.
Though the time needed to write an application can vary considerably from one person to the next, this list shows a typical break down of timing. See these steps represented on our timelines at Strategy Timelines.
Your institution. Visit your institution's business office as soon as you start planning an application to find out about procedures and timelines. Your institution may need your application weeks or even months before your receipt date to process, sign, and submit it.
Initial preparation. Plan on two months or more of dedicated time to prepare for a simple R01, e.g., one that does not include vertebrate animals or human subjects.
Getting feedback. Allot at least two weeks to finalize your application; the time will vary depending on the responsiveness of your internal reviewers.
Checks and edits. Allow at least a week to check and recheck your application to make sure nothing is missing and all information is consistent, search for factual errors, check spelling and grammar, and proofread.
Submission. Your institution's internal deadline is your due date, not the NIH receipt date.
Review and award. After the receipt date, it will take roughly 5 to 20 months to go through both levels of review and get an award—three months less for AIDS and AIDS-related research—assuming you succeed on the first try.
If your application is not likely to be funded, you will need to resubmit or send in a new application, leading you back to the start of that long and winding road.
It helps to understand the length of the award process, the needs of your lab, and the quirks of the different cycles used for investigator-initiated applications.
For sure, the best time to apply is when your application is ready. The most important success factor is an application that's as close to perfect as is humanly possible.
You can submit an application or resubmission any time, but it helps to understand the length of the application process, the needs of your lab, and the quirks of the different cycles used for investigator-initiated applications.
Read the Just the Facts section above for more about the length of the application process, and read below for our advice on how each application cycle may affect the timing of your award. Then, you can assess what that may mean for your lab, and plan accordingly.
Note: the months listed below are for new non-AIDS R01s; other types, including R01 resubmissions, have different receipt dates. Find them all at Standard Due Dates for Competing Applications.
Even with an extremely low percentile, your award will likely be delayed because your application goes to September Council, the first of the fiscal year, when we typically do not have a budget.
The good news: Cycle 1 has the shortest waiting time if you don't succeed and want to resubmit in the same fiscal year. Most PIs do resubmit, so assume you will too. Cycle 1 is the only one that lets you resubmit in the same fiscal year (in Cycle 3) without a rush.
"Without a rush" means you have enough time to revise and resubmit for the next cycle. Keep in mind that you need to receive your summary statement before you may resubmit.
New investigators get summary statements at least a month before their next receipt date, so they may resubmit sooner.
Resubmitting in the same fiscal year is helpful because you know the payline, and you avoid the start-of-year wait. Learn more at What to Do if You Get Bad News in Part 6.
We may still be operating under interim paylines, so you may experience a delay.
New investigators get summary statements in time to resubmit in the same fiscal year (in Cycle 3). For others, the best case is you'll get your summary statement around three weeks before the resubmission deadline, though probably later.
If you resubmit for Cycle 1, you're applying for funding at the beginning of a fiscal year, which almost always delays an award, and the payline is unknown.
If you choose to send a new application on the same topic instead of resubmitting, you probably won't have time to make improvements in time for the cycle 3 receipt date.
If your score is just outside the payline, you won't have to wait long to find out if your application is one of those NIAID will be paying at the end of the fiscal year.
But if your application is not funded, you will need to resubmit or create a new application for the next fiscal year under an unknown payline. Even if you resubmit for Cycle 1, you will most likely experience further delay, as we just described.
Get your institution's deadlines from your grants business office well ahead of time, and factor them into your timing.
As we stated above, your institution's internal deadline is your key deadline, not the NIH receipt date. Read more in Part 4. Submit Your Application.
Have your just-in-time information ready well before we make the award.
You may want to start preparing it when you are writing the application or just after, so it will be ready when we ask for it.
If we do not receive your just-in-time information on time, you may experience a delay in getting your award. At the end of the fiscal year, we may bypass your application altogether because we do not have time to wait.
Learn more in Prepare Your Just-in-Time Information in Part 3.
Don't wait to see if your application is funded later in the fiscal year. If problems are fixable, start revising when you get the summary statement.
If your application scores above the payline, we strongly advise that you not to wait to see if you are funded later in the fiscal year.
If your application's problems are fixable, plan to revise and resubmit. Improve your application based on reviewer feedback and other enhancements you can make. Resubmit as soon as you are ready, even if the application scored just above the payline.
It usually can't hurt you to go this route because we can fund the application with the best score. If the resubmission scores worse, the first application is still active and potentially fundable.
No matter what your situation, discuss your resubmission strategy with your program officer and experienced investigators in your institution. Don't rush—take the time you need to get it right.
Read more about what to do if funding is not imminent in Part 6. If Not Funded.
Learn how to distinguish between a fixable versus unfixable problem in What to Do if You Get Bad News in Part 6.
If the problems are not fixable, begin writing a new application as soon as you can after you get the summary statement. It's better to start with a fresh idea than try to fix insurmountable problems.
If your application has a very low percentile, consider asking your institution about spending funds ahead of the award in case of a delay at the start of the fiscal year.
This approach can help you be ready to launch when you do get the grant and the clock starts ticking for reporting results and publishing.
NIH lets you begin spending funds within 90 days of an expected award. Institutions have different policies on early spending, so ask people in your business office what you are allowed to do.
Is a delay a problem?
You may need to consider where your support will come from during the interval it takes to apply for and receive an R01. Talk to your institution about your options.
Here's something to think about for the future: the best time to negotiate institutional support is when you are accepting a job.

This site complies with the Health on the Net Foundation Code for trustworthy health information: verify here.
Several theories have attempted to explain the influence of different variables on the individual's health related behaviour and the elements that are important in influencing people to change. These include: the Health Belief model and the Protection Motivation theory (which suggests that people need some kind of cue to take action to change behaviour or make a health–related decision), the Theory of Reasoned Action and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (based on the hypothesis that the best predictor of the behaviour is behavioural intention) and the Stages of Change model (or The Transtheoretical Model). This article will focus on the "Stages of Change" model, since it is probably the best known model in the field of dietary change.
The model is based on change being an ongoing cycle and not being final. People may relapse to earlier stages several times, but this does not necessarily mean they start all over again. Thus, subjects are described in terms of their progress through a series of behavioural states along with other related dimensions such as self-confidence to change. This information can be taken into account in tailoring education messages to subjects' needs and readiness for various types of information.
Despite its popularity this model has also some shortcomings. For instance no consensus has been reached regarding the most appropriate method for defining and measuring dietary stage 2. Another criticism is that the use of fixed time-frames to distinguish between stages neglects to appreciate any gradual change in behaviour. A stage model may be more appropriate for simpler more discrete behaviours such as eating five servings of fruit and vegetables every day, or drinking low-fat milk (food-based goals) than for complex dietary changes such as low-fat eating (nutrient-based goal) 3. Thus, other behavioural models may prove more appropriate for complex goals such as dietary fat reduction.
Nevertheless, the model has been used to understand dietary changes and can distinguish groups with clearly different attitudes towards dietary health. The best test of this model is whether stage-matched dietary interventions outperform standardised approaches.
Presently, no one theory or model sufficiently explains and predicts the full range of food-choice behaviours and it is essential to continue the research in this field 4 Models in general should be viewed as a means to understanding the factors influencing individual decisions and behaviour, which can help in planning appropriate health promotion interventions.

'The Strong Correlation Between Sexual Immorality and Overspending is Beyond Dispute'
We had never heard of Dan Delzell until today, but apparently he is pastor of Wellspring Lutheran Church in Papillion, Nebraska and a regular contributor to The Christian Post where he is given space to pen informative pieces such as this one in which he explains that "the promotion and practice of sex outside of marriage is doing more to increase the national debt than any other single factor":
The strong correlation between sexual immorality and overspending is beyond dispute. A perfect example in the Bible is the prodigal son in Luke 15. A perfect example in the world today is the United States.
Which came first...the chicken or the egg? Likewise, sensual indulgence is intricately interwoven with voracious spending habits. The prodigal son had it good at home. But he wanted more, and he wanted it immediately. His lust for money was fueled by his lust for sensual pleasure, and "vice" versa.
He took his inheritance which was intended to provide for future needs. He wasted it on wild living in the moment. He was clueless to what was happening while he was in the midst of his sensual storm. In America today, the promotion and practice of sex outside of marriage is doing more to increase the national debt than any other single factor. Blindness in one area produces blindness in the other. Just ask the prodigal son.
God made sex. God gave man and woman sexual desires. Sex within marriage between a man and a woman is a good thing. Outside of God's plan, there is chaos. When man feeds his sexual temptations, he creates financial confusion in his mind.....and this leads to economic disaster, among other things. Likewise, when man feeds his love for money, this often leads to sexual promiscuity. The two are somehow joined together in unholy matrimony. Remember....holy matrimony involves one man and one woman. Anything else is a counterfeit.

ANTIOCH -- Larissa Barton sat next to a window with the sunlight shining on her freshly curled, light brown locks and her glowing face as a makeup artist put the finishing touches on her eyes.
Barton, a mother of three children ages 5 and under, rarely has the time for pampering, but this day was the exception. In addition to her flawless hair and makeup, the Modesto resident had her face waxed and nails done courtesy of students and graduates of Delta Beauty College and other professional cosmetologists.
"It makes you feel important and helps you to feel good about yourself," Barton said, as she checked out her eye makeup in the mirror. "I never take time for myself. You can spread joy because you are happy."
Barton was one of nine graduates of the Shepherd's Gate women's shelter in Brentwood who received these free makeovers and career and job inspiration from local agencies at Delta Beauty College last weekend. The event was organized by Antioch resident and Brentwood salon owner Ayan Kusharma, who is a domestic violence survivor herself.
"I am grateful and happy for them to smile," said Kusharma. "This is my mission. This is what I'm supposed to do. When you look good, you feel good."
In addition to the day of pampering and beauty, the makeover included free career advice, employment guidance and resume support from EastBay Works and Opportunity Junction. EastBay Works employer liaison Rene Tucker said these women need this type of outside support even after they have graduated from a program like Shepherd's Gate.
"It is very helpful to them. They need this to inspire them," she said.
Opportunity Junction student Desiree Rivera said she was glad to attend the event and expose the women to the free educational internship program in Antioch, which can help them boost their confidence, earn realistic wages and support their families.
"It is for people who don't have the time or money to go to college," Rivera said.
Antioch resident Candace Rugg said she has been clean and sober for three years, since attending Shepherd's Gate. Rugg added that there have been additional life struggles since that time, but she has been able to overcome them through her religious faith and community support.
"This was really nice," she said. "It was a real treat to enjoy the day with no kids."
The women each took home a bag of goodies, including makeup, a bracelet and a portrait of their new looks from a local professional photographer. They also were provided with lunch.
Kusharma never imagined that she would become a victim of domestic violence as a former medical technician and longtime hair stylist. She hopes that this makeover and future similar events can help these survivors become better parents and citizens.
"People look at you, and they think they know your story. If I can overcome this, anybody can," said the owner and master stylist at Trindee Lil Diva's. "I want to break the cycle. Our children know. They feel when you are happy."

|The Architecture Development Facilitator (ADF) First Year Report
|March 01, 2007
|This document serves as the summary report on the first year?s progress on the Architecture Development Facilitator (ADF) project covering the activities from December 15, 2005, to December 15, 2006. The ADF is intended to assist the Office of Network Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its agents in the deployment of the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). ADF will serve as the repository of a set of predefined compatible health care IT components, called artifacts, which can then be combined to design, configure and deploy a large variety of health care IT system architectures. The design of ADF responds to the evolving nature of the NHIN by making absolutely no assumptions about the upper levels of the NHIN architecture and by not imposing any constraints on the architecture. An artifact is defined in ADF as either: (a) a service or system component of NHIN (service artifact) or (b) a unit of information interchanged between service artifacts (information unit artifact). Artifacts are represented in the ADF by a generic template applicable to all artifact types, type-specific template extensions for each type, and by the relationships between the artifacts. An example of the representation is presented in terms of the harmonized use cases released by the ONC. A sampling of distinct network architectures that may be configured from the sample set of artifacts is presented for illustrative purposes. Initial thoughts are summarized on a number of architectural issues considered during the past year that have not yet been fully developed, as well as the directions for the work we expect to undertake in the second year of the project.

Battery-powered Portable X-ray Machine
- Battery-powered Portable X-ray Machine
Mikasa has developed a battery-powered portable X-ray machine.
"This product is the TRB9020H, a portable X-ray machine. It is Japan's first battery-powered portable X-ray machine. It does not require AC power and is capable of taking X-rays anywhere with its completely wireless setup. The most unique aspect of this device is that it is battery powered, yet despite running on batteries it is lightweight at 7 kg."
The device is capable of approximately 300 consecutive X-rays on a single charge, so it can be used in remote areas or in emergency circumstances when the power supply has been cut. The control panel also features a bright LED display that can be read easily outdoors.
"This unit has a list price of 1.8 million yen and has already received regulatory approval. We have shipped quite a number of these overseas. In Japan we have scheduled several demonstrations. We plan to market this primarily for at-home healthcare, disasters, and emergency medicine."

Science communicators do it for the public
Photo by DAVID ILIFF. License: CC-BY-SA 3.0
At the British Science Association Science Communication Conference today (16 May) several sessions touched upon the importance of scientists accepting the significance of values, principles, and ideologies – their own and those of their 'publics'. I was grateful for this, and particularly for Alice Bell's contributions on the panel of a session on policy called 'Hail to the Chief [Scientific Advisor]'.
Why do I say grateful? Well, it's long been a bugbear of mine, this idea that scientists are supposed to be infallible, rational, and god-like in their ability to speak gospel truths. Alice began her talk by questioning the extent to which our way of arranging ourselves in hierarchies gets in the way of really effective decision making in science policy. I agree. And it's not just a problem for science, it's a problem for public life, and it's rooted, in my opinion, in a paradoxical lack of personal responsibility in a world that is all about individual success.
What I observe in myself and in others is that we are always looking around for who's in charge, or whose job it is, or how do we get permission, or whatever. At best this results in procrastination and at worst it actually prevents social, political and economic progress.
Alice talked about how important it is that scientists are aware of and acknowledge, or, as she said, "own" their own politics and ideologies. And again, I couldn't agree more, but the challenge we have is that most people do not think of themselves as having an ideology and most of us do not consider ourselves "political". In fact, if anything, being 'political' is something that you apparently can be too much of – calling someone 'political' is like calling them 'aggressive' or 'smelly'. The truth is everything we do is political and we all hold dear our ideologies but admitting that would be admitting responsibility for the status quo or, indeed, being at the source of change.
Take the current flavour of capitalism that we are operating within in the UK, for example. Ask any relatively intelligent person to name a political ideology and you can bet they'll say "communism" or "anarchism" or "fascism", and all but a very few would label what we have now as an ideology. Of course, capitalism is just as much an ideology but it suits us to view it otherwise. Consider that calling capitalism an ideology is not making a moral judgement about capitalism but it does call on us to be responsible for our opinions, ideas, and our choice to buy into and operate within the system it invites.
In the Q&A session I asked Alice for advice to help me sell the idea of contextualising science in this way to senior scientists. She responded with what should have been a no-brainer to me – stand up for your profession and do it for the public – but I, like many of my peers, get tempted into being what Alice refers to as a 'handmaiden' for science.
There's two sides to that story, of course. It's true that science communicators can be short sighted, and often we start out as scientists and so tend to see things from the point of view of scientific institutions first and the general public second. At the same time many of my science communication colleagues experience pernicious disrespect for their skills, knowledge, and professionalism in organisations where unless you are made of strong stuff, a 'science-led' communications strategy so easily turns you into ghost writer of grant application impact statements and host to foreign scientific dignitaries.
Alice is right, though, we are the only people who can change this – our senior science colleagues are not going to suddenly respect our professional opinions and experience just because. We are agents of change, often in organisations that are resistant to change, and for those dealing with the most recalcitrant paymasters the support of peers is vital.
So perhaps at next year's conference we should have a session on how to be an advocate for professional science communication and take full responsibility for the change you want to see in your organisation?
Hi Nancy, cheers for this article for those of us who couldn't make the session!
I was wondering, who are the people who have the "idea that scientists are supposed to be infallible, rational, and god-like in their ability to speak gospel truths"? I mean, I'm a scientist at ICL, and know quite a few scientists, and this is probably the last thing any of us think! (of course, I can't speak for the whole scientific community) In fact, most scientists I know are humbled by how little they know, relative to the scope of what they could know. And with that, they certainly don't overstep their knowledge boundaries, and are confident to say 'actually, I don't have an answer to that'.
So yeah, just wondering whose opinion/idea this was you were voicing!

Hamilton Undergraduate Research Scholars Program
Established to provide opportunities to Dedman College undergraduates for hands-on research, Jack and Jane Hamilton founded the Hamilton Undergraduate Research Scholars Program in 2008. Devoted to the legacy of their parents, Diane Buford ('71) and Dan Hamilton ('79) continue the program to this day. The Hamilton Undergraduate Research Scholars Program enables Dedman College's most promising students (in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities) to collaborate with top faculty researchers and contribute to the creation of cutting-edge knowledge in significant and meaningful ways. Faculty/student teams carry out primary research for one semester or up to one year.
Each faculty/student team submits a competitive proposal for the project to the Program Director. The call for proposals goes out in early August of each academic year to all Dedman College faculty. Normally the proposals, which are due at the end of August, are submitted by the faculty member. They are 1-2 pages in length and must identify the student and the student's background and contain a brief description of the project the student will be working on, as well as the time frame (one semester, 2 semesters). Proposals should also include the student's ID number and best contact telephone number. A small number of Hamilton Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards are also made for the summer with a request for applications going out in late April.
Awards are up to $1500/semester ($3000 for the year) with matching funds available from the University Undergraduate Research Program. Hamilton Scholars have successfully delivered papers on their research at professional meetings or submitted their work to professional journals. There are funds available in this program to support these endeavors. Each year there is a reception for Hamilton Scholars and their mentors and some of the scholars present their work in oral or poster format. Hamilton Scholars are also recognized at the University Honors Convocation.
Students who are interested in this program should speak to a faculty member with whom they are interested in working. Faculty members who are interested in this program should identify a student interested in participating. For further information, contact Caroline B. Brettell, Director, Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute (email@example.com; 214-768-4254).

Are you sure you're waiting long enough, some are very slow to get
started and even slower if they are loading some fancy interface
afterwards. They are also susceptible to scratched or dirty CDs and
dirty lenses in the reader, though that shouldn't be a problem for you.
Put in a CD and hold down the shift key as you do so and it it gets up
speed to whirr normally. The light should go out eventually and no
programme run automatically. Then go via *Explorer* (not 'my computer')
and click on the CD drive to read the contents of the CD. If it shows up
pretty quickly then you probably have a software problem somewhere, if
it doesn't then it's hardware probably, bad CD, dirty lens etc.
