In Bruges
After Ray finished his first job and accidentally killed a kid in the process, he and his fellow hitman Ken are sent to Bruges by their boss, London crime kingpin Harry. There they need to wait for Harry to call and remain as discrete as possible.
While Ken is feeling great and wants to explore the culture of the city, Ray feels like he's gone to hell and is bored completely. To have something to do, Ray goes out at night and as such meets Chloe, a rather beautiful young Belgian woman who he feels attracted to. Although torn by guilt over the death of the little boy, Ray starts seeing a light in his life again. But then Harry's call arrives…
Sound and Vision:
The movie has some extremely nice pictures of Bruges that are perfect for promoting the city but for the rest the overall image quality is rather standard. Nothing special for a DVD.
The sound only starts getting noticed towards the end and then it does add to the overall atmosphere but for the rest of the movie it's as discrete as the two hitmen in Bruges.
There are a number of extras present and those interested in Bruges will be interested in them.
– Deleted Scenes
– Gag Reel
– When in Bruges
– A Boat Trip Around Bruges
– F**king Bruges
In Bruges is a great thing for the tourism department of Bruges. Half the movie looks like advertising for the city and even the fact that one of the characters at the end compares it with hell won't stop people coming over in great numbers to check out the "fairytale-like" buildings, bridges and canals. Unfortunately, as a movie, In Bruges doesn't succeed so well. It tries to be a dark comedy but although there are some decent jokes here and there, the first part is quite boring. When crime lord Harry (Ralph Fiennes) comes into the picture things start to become more interesting but then we're already almost at the finish line and trying to wonder whether we actually liked the movie or not.
In Bruges never manages to really grab you by the balls, make you laugh out loud or in fact bring forth any emotion. As such it's a pitty as the acting performances by the cast are quite alright, but if other actors would have been cast, I'm pretty sure this film would never have received any attention.

"You obviously don't know who you are f*cking with!" – Blade
Guillermo del Toro f*cked with the formula of the first Blade movie just enough to create a fun, surprising, and endlessly gruesome action-horror mashup with Blade II. I recognize that this flick isn't nearly as good as most of the genre classics we like to celebrate here at HS, but it's one of my favorite vampire action movies of all time. It's also one of Del Toro's most sophisticated efforts, packing top of the line production values, makeup and special effects.
Blade II offers scene after scene of extended supernatural action. The carnage stops only briefly for a few jokey exposition scenes and some ghastly but artfully rendered shots of mutated, sliced, diced and hemorrhaging monster anatomy. Let's dive in and explore the 2002 sequel which, arguably, represents the movie trilogy at its creative peak. strong>
The story
The opening minutes set up what's to come with a grisly scene that turns the "vampire blood bank" idea on its head. Genetically modified baddie Nomak (Luke Goss) surprises his would-be vampire captors by painting the walls with their blood. It's a violent and disturbing scene that promises a new challenge for Wesley Snipes' seemingly indestructible vampire hunter.
Next comes a nicely rendered prologue sequence that tells us everything we need to know about Blade, his pal Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), and their war against the vampires. We follow Blade as he easily dispatches a group of Dukati-riding bloodsuckers while searching for Whistler, who has been turned into a vampire.
The Whistler B-plot plays like something Del Toro had to shoehorn into the movie to keep continuity from the first flick straight. Whistler's rescue and rehabilitation don't really add much to the story, which centers on a new race of feral beasties who feed on humans and vampires. Still, it's fun to see Kristofferson back in action trading barbs with Blade and hurling insults at everyone in his eye line.
To stop the new Reaper vampires, Blade is forced to team up with The Bloodpack, a ridiculous leather-clad group of vampire mercenaries with names like Chupa, Priest, and Lighthammer. There's also Reinhardt, the badass with a bad attitude, played by Del Toro's pal Ron Perlman. The Bloodpack aren't really characters here; they're more like grotesque models and stuntmen. But the pissing contest scenes between Snipes and Perlman are a blast.
After more action, explosions, and bloodletting than most moviegoers can probably handle, it's revealed that Nomak is the "son" of vampire elder Damaskinos (Thomas Kretschmann), who created him in an attempt to design a new super vampire species to rival Blade. The twist is telegraphed way before the reveal, but it's done with such style that you don't really care. And the principal actors, especially Goss, do a great job of building and selling gravitas in all the key scenes.
The action and effects
Blade II is all about the action. From start to finish, the elaborate fight scenes are simply dazzling. Despite some cringe-worthy CGI at the beginning of the movie, all of the speedy stunts, swordfights and violent scenes are crafted with high style and a sense of fun.
The expert visual flair and intense scenes of monster horror are really what separate Del Toro's movie from the original. The CGI does get a little too overwhelming sometimes, but there's always some wonderfully gooey and freaky make-up effect to make you forget about the poorly-rendered animation that came before it.
Some of the violent scenes are a little hard to watch. The mutated vampires are almost indestructible, which allows them to escape hairy situations in some pretty gross and chilling ways. I almost have to look away when one of them purposely slices his lower midsection in half to crawl away from a fight. That's just ... disturbing!
Del Toro revels in the blood, gore and goop with Blade II, but he also offers some stunning visuals beyond the violent scenes, like Blade's solitary time injecting himself with a blood supplement, and vamp princess Nyssa (Leonor Varela) burning up in Blade's arms at the end of the movie.
Other thoughts
Norman Reedus is great as Scud, Blade's grungy, j-smokin' sidekick. It took me a while to warm up to the character, but he really works in Del Toro's bleak and grubby world. I didn't care for the reveal of Scud's true nature in the third act. It would've been fun to see him return for Blade Trinity.
Del Toro's a smart guy. He never attempts to turn Blade II into high art. Instead, the Oscar nominated filmmaker uses his endless talent and love of the genre to make a spirited, chilling, and blood-soaked B-picture that horror and action fans can return to again and again. Agree? Disagree? Some fans of the franchise say the movie's action scenes are too long or that the entire thing is just too silly and inconsequential to take seriously. Are you in that camp? Or do you want to see Snipes finally take up the silver stake again in a fourth Blade movie? Let us know in the comments.

Sarah Vaughan
Most of the great jazz-pop singers—Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and even Bing Crosby—have recorded Beatles tunes. None has done it more successfully than Vaughan, 57, the durable Newark native who got her start with Earl Hines' band. She adds freshness to even the most familiar Lennon-McCartney songs, like Yesterday, or Harrison's Something, rendered as a bossa nova in front of Lee Ritenour's guitar. But most enchanting are less familiar tunes like Blackbird; You Never Give Me Your Money, done up like a cool '50s jazz number; and a driving, fused version of Get Back. Vaughan can still gently seize a note, turn it, smooth it, dip it and make it something new yet familiar. Here she started out with some pretty good notes in the first place.

That many of the more popular quack medicines, tonics and bitters, are essentially alcoholic solutions, varying in percentage of alcohol from eight to about forty-five per cent, has been frequently demonstrated by analytical chemists.
The list published by the State chemist of Rhode Island, giving the alcoholic strength of some thirty or forty of the leading bitters, is familiar to those who have but moderately pursued this line of investigation.
It is not, however, so generally known that the two large classes of staple pharmaceutical preparations, viz. : Elixirs and fluid extracts, are very rich in alcohol, the fluid extracts generally containing over fifty per cent. Of these latter I wish now more particularly to speak.
It is doubtless true in the case of those fluid extracts of the more powerful drugs, such as aconite, nux vomica, and the like, that on account of the smallness of the dose, the

Originally published at: http://www.howtogeek.com/166652/how-to-hide-and-unhide-rows-and-columns-in-excel-2013/
There may be times you want to remove a row or column from a spreadsheet, but you don't want to permanently delete it from the worksheet file. Excel has a feature that allows you to temporarily hide a row or column from view.
I prefer using Data/Group over the hide feature. Hidden rows and columns become hard to see when you are reviewing your worksheet. Using the Data/Group, you can easily see what is hidden from the +/- buttons. You can easily collapse/expand the hidden rows or columns. Further, you can define levels of grouping which effectively gives you a drill-down approach.
Taking this a step further I have been working with using an activeX checkBox control. If it's check it hides a range of rows below it. Unchecked and the rows are visible. The range that is hidden also has checkboxes. The problem I have run into is if it's saved with the rows hidden when you reopen the sheet and unhide the hidden rows the controls that were hidden disappear and I can't get them to come back. Does anyone have a solution for this?

MPs watched in disbelief last Wednesday as Conservative House Leader Peter Van Loan faced-off against his NDP counterpart, Nathan Cullen, and Party Leader Thomas Mulcair. The altercation followed a fairly minor procedural argument. But it reflects a deeper problem. Since the last election, both the Conservatives and the NDP have pursued a strategy of partisan polarization.
Everyone is agog over the supposedly big dust up in the House of Commons yesterday, where MP Peter Van Loan marched across the Commons floor to wag his finger at NDP leaders. There was no need to cross over to the NDP side as nothing would be accomplished by doing so. The Official Opposition thought they had caught the government on a technicality and wanted to force another vote which would have further delayed passage of Bill C-45. What is so exciting about that? Why was it necessary for the Conservative House Leader to cross the floor? It is perfectly legitimate for any opposition party to use the full arsenal of tactics available to them to delay or defeat government legislation.

Miami, FL (May 31, 2010) - Medimix International, a leader in global healthcare marketing research for the life sciences industry, announced today that it will again be exhibiting at the American Society of Clinical Oncology AGM, in Chicago, IL, June 4-8, 2010. The annual ASCO meeting is considered to be the premier educational and scientific event in the oncology community, a forum for cutting-edge scientific and educational developments in oncology, with a focus on personalizing cancer care.
Medimix International has a recognized expertise in the field of oncology and hematology, which are two of its key therapeutic areas. Currently, more than a third of its yearly projects are conducted in these therapeutic areas. Thus, the ASCO convention represents an opportunity to not only meet with client companies but also the panelists and Key Opinion Leaders, who are members of Medimix's international panel and a valuable part of its market research program.
Medimix currently manages a panel of more than 25,000 oncologists and over 17,000 hematologists from North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and MENA. Specialties included in the panel are medical, radiation, surgical, gynecology, musculo-skeletal, and pediatric oncology, with Medimix focusing its particular expertise in the areas of breast, lung, bowel, prostate, skin and renal cancers. Recently, it has increased its panel capabilities in China, with access of up to 15,000 oncologists and 7,000 hematologists throughout the country.
"Over the last 12 months, we have seen an increasing number of projects conducted in Emerging Markets," noted Henry Gazay, CEO of Medimix International. "More and more oncologists from China, Brazil, Russia and India are now coming to ASCO, which is a relatively new phenomenon. Last year over 51% of visitors at ASCO came from outside the United States, which not only provides us with an opportunity to keep abreast of the recent breakthroughs in oncology, but to meet face-to-face with panelists from all around the world".
Medimix International will be present at the ASCO exhibition, June 5-7th booth #12148.

Airline unveils Hawaii-themed airplane
HONOLULU - A Hawaii high school student's design now adorns an Alaska Airlines jet.
The airline says Kaiser High School student Aaron Nee's Hawaii-themed design was chosen from nearly 3,000 entries in the airline's "Paint-the-Plane" contest. The contest was sponsored by the airline in partnership with the Hawaii Department of Education and Hawaii Association of Independent Schools.
The design depicts a voyaging canoe, a bright yellow hibiscus, the Hawaiian Island chain and the phrase, "Spirit of the Islands."
The plane touched down in Honolulu on Monday. The aircraft will fly throughout most of the Alaska Airlines network, connecting destinations from Hawaii to San Diego and from Alaska to as far south as Mexico.
Nee receives a trip for four to any of the carrier's destinations and a $5,000 scholarship.
State announces mortgage settlement
HONOLULU - More than 1,400 Hawaii borrowers will receive checks of $1,480 as part of claims paid for likely mortgage servicing abuse, the Hawaii attorney general announced Tuesday.
The 1,413 eligible borrowers lost homes to foreclosure between January 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2011, and were required to submit a valid foreclosure payment claim. The deadline for applying has passed.
Attorney General David Louie said the checks are drawn from a $1.5 billion payment pool negotiated as part of the National Mortgage Settlement.
Hawaii borrowers are in line for a little more than $2 million.
Tesoro moves forward with refinery layoffs
KAPOLEI - Tesoro Hawaii is moving forward with plans to lay off workers in phases at the Kapolei oil refinery as discussions continue with potential buyers.
Spokesman Lance Tanaka says a "handful" of employees were given notices Monday that they will be laid off starting June 17 and 21.
He says if a buyer emerges, that could change.
The company previously announced that it would postpone layoffs. The state was notified last month the company plans to lay off 165 workers in phases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are Facilities and Administrative Costs (AKA indirect costs)?
What are the Fringe Benefit Rates
F&A Rate Agreements: Memphis, GSM
Where do I get information regarding the NIH Salary Cap?
Q: My grant proposal includes a subrecipient, and only the subrecipient will be using
animals in the research. Do I need to mark "Yes" on the face page of my application
to indicate that animals are being used, even if no animals are being used on this
A: Yes. If the grant involves animal research, the pass-through entity (UTHSC, in this case) must mark "yes" and include the animal welfare assurance number on the face page. The protocol must be submitted to the UTHSC IACUC for approval, even though no animals are being used on this campus, if the project involves a subrecipient that will be using animals.
Q: I am planning a clinical study at The MED that is funded by departmental funds.
What institutional approvals are necessary?
A: All human subject studies must be approved by the IRB. All studies at The MED must have their institutional approval. The contact at The MED is Maria van Werkhooven. All externally funded studies must be routed through SP.
Q: Where can I get information about the process for research agreements (including
clinical trial agreements)?
A: See Research Contracts main page
Q: Where can I get forms for processing clinicl trials and research agreements?
A: See Research Contracts forms page
Q: When routing a contract modification/amendment, what amount should be included
in SP for the current year and all years?
A: The modification/amendment should note the amount of the change: either an increase or decrease for the current and all years. E.g., if the original contract was for $100,000 for year 1 and a total of $200,000 for all years and the modification is increasing the contract by $10,000 per year, amount in SP for the modification should show $10,000/year. Conversely, if the mod decreases the funding by $10,000 per year, SP should show -$10,000/year.
Q: I am trying to meet the 5-working-day advance deadline for an electronic grant
submission, but I am not finished with the science. Is it okay to send the package
over for the 5-day-advance deadline, continue working on it, and then send a revised
package later?
A: No. Unfortunately about 90-95% of the applications received in GRA have SOME errors. The GRA staff needs this time to correct the errors and submit the packages before the agency deadline. If a new package is sent over, the entire package must be reviewed again, increasing the opportunity for errors to be overlooked. If errors are noted by the PI on a specific section after submission to GRA, please contact email@example.com for guidance.
Q: Why must I submit the final version of my grant 5 days before the deadline? I would
like to have more time to read it over again and make corrections.
A: On any given deadline, the GRA receives many applications that must be processed. Each application takes time; if the PI sends another version, then the review process must start over. If the PI sends additional files via e-mail, there is a risk of error due to the possible confusion of the new and old versions. The only time corrections can be made is when the reviewer (Ginny or Jackie) requests corrections to ensure the grant follows the guidelines. The five-day deadline is also necessary for grant.gov submissions to allow time for resubmissions in the event there is an error that must be corrected. An application has to be submitted without error by 5:00 p.m. Central time the day of the deadline, and waiting until the last minute runs the risk of not submitting on time as the email notice of an error is often delayed on deadline days due to the higher load on the grants.gov servers.
Q: If I keep up with all the standard NIH deadlines, can I assume that the Office
of Grants and Research Agreements is not busy during other times?
A: No. In addition to the standard NIH deadlines, which now fall about every two weeks, NIH RFAs and RFPs can be due almost any day. In addition, many other sponsors, including federal (e.g., NSF, HRSA, DOD), state, and private (e.g., AHA, CFRI, other foundations), have deadlines that fall on various dates throughout the year. Faculty who become aware of an upcoming deadline are requested to notify GRA in case we have not received the notice.
Q: For NIH grants, why does the application package list both a modular and a detailed budget form in the optional document section? Am I required to complete these 'optional' forms?
A: Yes, you do need to complete one of the budget forms for each submission. Both budget forms are in the optional section so you may use the type of budget form specified in your package instructions; in most cases, this will be the modular budget form.
Q: For electronic submissions, what should I list as the site of my NIH grant?
A: The site should be the campus address: 62 S. Dunlap, Suite 300, Memphis, TN 38163. More than one location may be listed in cases where co-investigators are working at other institutions.
Q: I have not had an opportunity to attend a training session on electronic grant
submission. Will the GRA prepare the grant package for me if I send the scientific
portion over electronically?
A: No. Unfortunately, GRA does not have the staff time to prepare grant applications for faculty. Departments should be working with faculty to be sure that everyone has the proper training and/or staff support to manage the electronic grant preparation process. Preparing the 424 package is no more difficult than filling out the Adobe forms; although it requires careful attention to detail. Individual training sessions for individuals or departments may be arranged upon request during non-deadline periods.
Q: When submitting an electronic grant application, is it okay if I send a partial
package to GRA by the internal deadline date and then send additional sections later,
to allow more time for me to write/review/correct the scientific sections or get collaboration
letters, etc.?
A: No. If the package is not complete and in final form by the internal deadline date, wait until it is final to route it in SP. The risk is that you may miss a deadline. On any given deadline, GRA has many grant applications, and does not have sufficient time to review two or three versions of each nor, unfortunately, is there time to insert the various scientific portions in the proper places of the package without neglecting review of other grants proposals that have been submitted correctly and timely.
Q: I need to submit a proposal through Proposal Central. Is UTHSC registered there?
A: Yes, UTHSC is registered in Proposal Central. PIs must route their proposals in SP prior to submission via Proposal Central.
Q: I am submitting a grant which requires electronic submission by the PI. Do I have
to let anyone know?
A: Yes, all externally funded grant proposals should be routed in SP for review and approval by department, college, and institutional offices prior to submission to the funding agency.
Q: May I designate someone as Co-PI on an NIH grant if it is offered in a drop down
box on the key personnel page of Grants.gov?
A: No, you may not name a Co-PI for an NIH proposal unless you are responding to an RFA that specifically allows Co-PIs. NIH allows multiple PIs but not Co-PIs. You must choose another option or you may designate a co-investigator by choosing "other." See NIH policy on multiple PIs. http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-017.html
Q: I am not able to log into Evisions/Cayuse 424 and SP. How can I gain access?
A: Contact your department business office. They will need enter information into the human resources data base to allow you access either as a "researcher" or "administrator." If you need to be included on proposals as a member of the project team, you should be identified as a "researcher."
Here is the IRIS transaction to be used:
1. ZSESATAUTH000 - IRIS User Tools -> User Access -> Satellite System User Request
2. Business staff simply enter personnel number and request access type (researcher or admin); use the "researcher" designation for anyone who will be paid from a sponsored project.
Additional information on IRIS transactions.
Q: When I complete my NIH Progress Report (RPPR) in Commons, to whom should I route
A: Route it to Virginia Geer or Jackie Easley, who will review it and route it to Debbie Smith for final submission. Ginny or Jackie will contact the PI if there are any corrections that need to be made.

A: No. UT is NOT a 501(c)3 organization. However, UT is tax-exempt as a state educational agency under section 170(c)1 of the Internal Revenue Code. If a sponsor's policy indicates that they give only to 501(c)3 organizations, the PI should check with the sponsor to be sure it requires 501(c) 3 status or if any tax-exempt entity may apply. If the sponsor REQUIRES 501(c)3 status, we may submit the grant through UTRF; however, the PI should allow additional time for review and signature by UTRF. GRA facilitates applications submitted through UTRF so they should be routed as ususal.
Q: I'm working with another institution (e.g., St. Jude) to submit a proposal to a
federal agency (e.g., NIH). What entity should I list as the "funding agency" in PAMS?
A: The "funding agency" should be the entity from which UT will receive funds. In the case of a proposed subaward for a grant that will be issued to St. Jude, the "funding agency" should be listed as "St. Jude." NIH should be listed as the Prime funding agency.
Q: How do I know if I have the correct grant application package?
A: The best way to be sure that you have the latest version of the grant application package is to go to either grants.gov or the agency web site and pull down the package from there. Attempting to "revise" a package that was submitted earlier is risky since: (1) the package and/or some of the imbedded forms may have changed; and (2) you may forget to make changes on some pages and submit forms or data that have not been updated. Current forms for NIH R01, R03, R21, R08, R15, and F31 are available on the GRA Website.
Q: Must the electronic version of grants that are due in GRA five working days in
advance be the FINAL version, or can I still be working on the grant while it's under
A: The FINAL version must be submitted to GRA five working days in advance to allow time for review and submission and correction of any possible errors found during the submission process.
Q: I hope to apply for a grant that requires a letter of intent (LOI) first. Does
that LOI need to be routed in PAMS?
A: You need to route it only if (1) the letter of intent requires institutional signature, (2) the LOI requires a budget, OR (3) an institutional official must submit the LOI.
Q: I think I may have developed a new invention. What should I do?
A: To report an invention that arose in the course of University employment, complete an invention disclosure form found at http://utrf.tennessee.edu/faculty/forms.php. Questions about completing the form or the invention process may be directed to UTRF at 901 448-7827 or to Debbie Smith in GRA at 901 448-4823.
Q: If I'm not being paid from a grant or other research project, but am PI or participating
in the project, should I list it on my "Other Support" page? If so, what % effort
should I list?
A: NIH requirements state that all external support of research must be included and that percent efforts be shown, even if no salary support is covered by that project. The percent effort should match the amount of effort that is being expended on the project; if an individual is a PI on a project, he or she must be spending some effort on that project. Also, if a grant application listed an individual with a greater percent effort than the amount of salary support, the "Other Support" page should reflect the EFFORT, not the salary percentage.
Q: My NIH grant application received a score that appears to be in the fundable range.
I have checked the NIH Commons for information about my grant application, and it
is listed as "JIT." Should I submit the Just-in-Time information now?
A: No. Just-in-Time (JIT) information is submitted only at the request of the agency. When the agency is ready to receive the information, they will send an e-mail to the PI and the UT officials requesting JIT information. Some grants may show up in Commons with a "JIT" status, even though they may not be approved for funding.
What are MTAs and Why Do We Need Them?
Q: If I am receiving biological materials from a colleague at another institution,
is it okay if I sign a material transfer agreement?
A: No. Faculty should never sign contracts including confidentiality agreements and material transfer agreements; all such documents should be signed by an authorized institutional official. For information about the proper documents and signatures, faculty should consult with their business managers and/or the Office of Research Administration at 901-448-5587. Additionally, the receipt of some biological materials, including animals and some hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, will need to be approved by the appropriate compliance and/or safety committees/officials. Faculty should consult with their business managers and/or The Office of Research Compliance at 901-448-2164 for questions about additional requirements for receipt of biological materials.
Q: If a colleague at another institution requests materials from my lab, is it okay
if I just send the material out?
A: No. Transfer of materials from UT to other institutions should be covered by an appropriate material transfer agreement PRIOR to shipping the material. If the material resulted from external funding, i.e., a grant or contract, there may be restrictions on the transfer. If the material is proprietary, i.e., the subject of an invention disclosure and/or patent application, there may also be restrictions. Faculty should contact the Office of Research Administration at 901-448-5587 for assistance in developing an appropriate document under which the material may be transferred. Additionally, if the material is biological and/or hazardous in nature, The Office of Research Compliance should be consulted at 901-448-2164 PRIOR to any transfer of biological or hazardous materials.

- Sample MPI Plan - UT faculty only
- Sample MPI Plan - different institutions
Q: I am submitting a journal article reporting the results of a study funded, in part,
by the NIH. Do I have to submit the article to PubMed?
A: Yes, NIH requires that all articles be submitted to PubMed. Since some journals take care of the PubMed submission, the author is advised to check with the Journal or check the list of journals that submit to PubMed at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm. Additional information about submission of NIH-funded articles can be found at
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ or http://library.uthsc.edu/reference/oai.
Q: How do I get my grant account set up?
A: Accounts are set up automatically upon receipt of notices of award. Work with your department business manager and Sponsored Projects Accounting to request a new account for a new grant or contract.
Q: I am the PI or have been named as Key Personnel on a funded grant but get no salary
from the grant. Do I need to list this grant on my monthly effort certification?
A: Yes. If a person is listed as PI or Key Personnel on a funded grant, he or she must have included effort in the grant application. The employee must certify to the effort expended on all projects, even if no salary is paid by the grant. If the salary is incorrect, the employee must enter a variance code, or the system will automatically change the salary to match the certified effort. The correct variance code for this situation is F-Voluntary Committed Cost Sharing.
Q: My grant is in a no-cost extension and some people who were previously paid off
the grant (perhaps including the PI) are no longer paid from that source. It is okay
to show their effort reduced to 0% on progress reports, other support pages, and effort
A: No. Individuals whose time is committed to a project should continue to show the appropriate level of effort on progress reports, other support pages, and effort reports, even if they are no longer being paid from a grant that is in a no-cost extension. A PI's effort should never be listed as 0%; by definition, if a person is a PI, he/she must be devoting some time to the project, regardless of salary support. Any change in effort of more than 25% of the original effort proposed for key personnel listed on the Notice of Award requires prior approval by the agency.
Q: How do I get a no-cost extension on my grant?
A: No-cost extensions are handled by Sponsored Projects Accounting. Faculty should contact their departmental business managers, who will work with Gerri Bussell to process the request for a grant that is expiring.
Q: I am submitting a journal article reporting the results of a study funded, in part,
by the NIH. Do I have to submit the article to PubMed?
A: Yes, NIH requires that all articles be submitted to PubMed. Since some journals take care of the PubMed submission, the author is advised to check with the Journal or check the list of journals that submit to PubMed at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm. Additional information about submission of NIH-funded articles can be found at

No audio after update
I'm running 64studio 2.1 i386 testing. I can't get any audio in or out of my M-Audio 2496 any more after updating with Synaptic. Envy24 won't start. Other ausio aps run but I can't hear any thing. Things have runnung fine until now. My sources.list is completely commented out, but I have 64studio testing, Debian security, Debian oldstable, and Debian Multi-Media old stable active in Synaptic repositories. I have 64studio selected as preferred distrobution in preferences but some packages have upograded to Debian etch versoions higher than the 64studio packages, like libc6. I've tried forcing back to 64 studio versions which removed lots. Are the regular Debian and Debian-Multimedia packages incompatible with 64studio? Would upgrading to 64studio 3.0 help? The system is working otherwise. I don't know what to do

amazing. had a really good view of mum and calf. the guys on the boat are so helpful and make you feel so relaxed. wonderful time
Alicen Australia
Marvellous Tour. Great to swim with the manatees, nice zoo and great fun on the jetboat. Lunch was tasty. Only thing I really didn't need was the breakfast. It was good, but we had that provided at our hotel and it made for a late start to the day.
Madeleine was a super guide and driver throughout the trip - very knowledgeaqble and personable.
This tour was one of the best tours I have ever taken . The price was great , staff very pleasant and informative. Keep up the good work .
Edna Lang
We loved swimming with manatees and the park stop was great also. The driver was nice and informative. By the time of the airboat ride it was cold and the guide told us little of interest.
Great experience!!! Swimming with Manatees was the best thing I did in my trip to Florida. These animals are awesome, loving and funny. We swam with a baby Manatee and his mum and it was a really opportunity to know about them, but it was too short! The airboat ride was great too. Breakfast and lunch were tasty. Highly recommended.
A great tour! Well organized and we got exactly what was promised. Madeline, our guide, was awesome. The entire trip was a success and something I would recommend to anyone. Would have liked more time on the airboat though.
great tour! the snorkeling was a very unique experience and we saw a lot of wildlife. The breakfast was great and the tour guide Madeleine was amazing. Totally worth the money!
This was worth every penny! We got to see the manitees up close and personal, the sanctuary was beautiful and the boat ride was exhilarating! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, which made the time in the bus go fast. Make sure to get the wetsuits!
I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone-I know we'll be doing it again the next time we're in Florida!
We had a great time.
Why this is a great deal...
Reviewed May 16, 2015
Swimming with the manatees is a cool experience and everyone's trip will be different because of the natural environment, but Captain Jesse was great at locating them. About 60 manatees live in the springs year round, so we saw several with babies even in May. We were instructed not to touch them. The trip included an all you can eat breakfast at Ponderosa Steakhouse 6.99, the guided snorkel tour with gear on line from 35 to 55, admission to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park 13, sack lunch 5, airboat ride and pictures holding baby alligator 40. Add to this the cost of transportation, including gas, it's a bargain! Our guide was Madeline she was fun and gave us a lot of history of the area and Florida. We also watched movies going down and coming back which made time fly.
Best Day of our Vacation!!! The tour guide was great...Caption Jessie at Crystal River was awesome....the Manatees were just amazon...the state park zoo was lots of fun...and the air boat ride at Wild Bills was a blast...I would totally recommend this day trip!!!
The guide for the manatees was excellent, we got close up to several. The springs were beautiful, a very peaceful place. The airboat ride was lots of fun- we saw alligators and other wildlife and enjoyed flying across the water. All in all, one of the best ways to see another side of Florida.
Best tour ever! Fantastic combination and great customer service from every team! Amazing value too, really couldn't be better!!
Everything was wonderful!
The entire experience, slight injury included, was fantastic. Never imagined in a million years that we would ever be able to swim with the manatees.
It was so special to be able to touch and be up close to these gentle giants in the wild. The airboat ride was beautiful as well. You will get wet! :)
It was a once in a lifetime experience! Thank you for this wonderful adventure!
I recommend this tour to everyone. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We were not rushed and saw everything as planned. One thing I would say is that for any vegetarians like myself, have an extra little snack packed along as there was no veggie friendly sandwich in the lunch provided.
whit the manetee was very good this was the highlight off the day
this is something that you remember the rest off your life
the rest off the day was also very nice
Fantastic day! Our guide was brilliant. The whole day was great. Buffet breakfast to start, then off for an awesome swim with manatees and into local springs. The wildlife park was good, with the perfect amount of time there. The airboat ride was alot of fun. Our captain pointed out everything and threw in a few spins and drifts out on the water, which was great. We'd recommend this trip to anyone and will be going on it again when we're back.
Our tour guide was great and the manatees are so sweet.
Awesome time, great value
We had a great time! We came in one of the best months (March) to see the manatees. The water was a cool 72 degF (22.2 degC). We recommend renting a wetsuit at the shop ($10). There were dozens of manatees to photograph and pet. The Homomassa Wildlife Park was fun to visit, and we had a great time on the airboat ride. We even got to hold a baby alligator! The bus trip to and from the different locations was enjoyable. Breakfast and lunch was included. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone.
Highly recommended. Definitely worth the money.
It was the best part of our two weeks vacation, a day away from Disneyworld, that was well coordinated, picked up on time from hotel, back on schedule as well and friendly tour. THE BIG WOW FACTOR IS TO BE ENCOUNTERING A BABY MANATEE AND HAVE HIM COME TO ME AND TURN AROUND FOR A BELLY SCRATCH...HE (SHE) REALLY LOOKED AT ME AND WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND PLAY! .. MY 12 YEAR OLD SON ALSO TOUCHED SEVERAL..THEY LOVED HIM...so it was worth ...the whole day..as far as the airboat adventure well that would be a grade of 1 on 5....while exciting for 5 minutes.. it was rather meaningless, and felt like a tourist trap.. i think the airboat tour could be use to really show us around into some neat canals.. that river looked wonderful... i would have loved to go in there for a longer period,,,BUT the money for the manatee ! captain mike and all his patience and experience , the gear etc..

"Weighs only six pounds"
These days you're lucky if you can find a 16" carbine that light, and it'll have one of those ridiculous fake collapsing stocks, but will also still probably have a heavy barrel.
Most postban ARs have a barrel heavier than my FAL. Your typical 20" HBAR-15A2 weighs in at around eight and a half pounds.
But, this was back before they tried to turn the AR-15 into a full sized battle rifle, and used it for what it was, a light weight small caliber rifle.

I have one just like it. Bought it NIB for $225 back in 1972. Still shoots great.
June 21, 2003, 04:27 PM
I guess if you really think about it its about the same.
1964 is when a new buick cost about $2500
A new buick now is about $25000.
You can get a similar new rifle like in the ad for about $750 to $900.
I do wish I could go back and get a few though:)
June 21, 2003, 04:59 PM
A fellow I work with has two he bought at that price. One has "Maybe a hundred rounds" through it, the other is still in the box it came in. No, he won't sell either of them .:mad:

I remember reading (but didn't save) a quick & dirty analysis of gun prices over the years expressed not in straight $ but as a percentage of the "average" weekly income of an American citizen. Going by that measure, firearms are less expensive today than they ever have been.

Mayoral candidate Kent Studebaker's Lake Oswego roots run deep. His family moved to the city in 1957, he went all the way through school in Lake Oswego and moved back to raise his family.
Studebaker, 67, is challenging former state Rep. Greg Macpherson for the mayoral seat when Mayor Jack Hoffman vacates it in November. They are the only two mayoral candidates so far.
Studebaker lives in the Bryant neighborhood with his wife. They raised two daughters who now live in other states and countries. He attended the University of Oregon, earned a law degree and then served as an attorney and military judge in the United State Marine Corps.
Eventually, he owned GS Solutions in Lake Oswego before retiring.
Studebaker served the last three years on the the citizen's budget committee, this year as chairman. He is frustrated by the current council's last two decisions to make changes to the committee's budget recommendations.
He points to an effort by the citizen's budget committee this year to keep the property tax rate flat, instead of letting it rise by up to 3 percent as it was scheduled to do. A 4-3 majority of the council chose to preserve the tax rate instead.
"I'd like to step back, reassess our priorities, get some feedback from citizens about what they'd like to see done and take it from there," Studebaker said.
He also disagrees with the kinds of projects picked for funding by the council.
The Lake Oswego City Council approved ballot language Tuesday night for two bonds to finance a new library and improvements to Boones Ferry Road. Studebaker said that these are worthwhile projects, but the city relies too heavily on borrowing and urban renewal districts to pay for large projects.
"I live over here so I'm in favor of improving Boones Ferry," he said. "I think urban renewal bonding is not the way to do it."
'I think we ought to be open to other kinds of financing on that."
Studebaker joins a growing candidate pool for three council seats and the mayoral seat. Macpherson announced his run for the mayor's seat two weeks after Hoffman said in January he wouldn't seek re-election.
Councilor Bill Tierney said he will try to keep his seat on council. Councilors Sally Moncrieff and Mary Olson won't run again.
Dan Williams, Planning Commission vice-chairman Jon Gustafson and Skip O'Neill are in the running for the council seats.
Lake Oswego council races are nonpartisan, so the three candidates who receive the most votes will win.

Mike Bleech: Creek crowding brings out the worst in us
Having been raised in a small-town environment, I was confused for a long time by some of the things associated with cities. It took some getting used to.
Of course, those of you who live in Erie understand how I feel now that Erie County has been proclaimed to be rural by the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare.
Now we are all small-town folk who are out of our element along the steelhead creeks when fishing pressure gets heavy.
Pennsylvania steelhead fishing is in a complex Catch-22 phase. The most serious obstacle facing the steelhead fishery is access to the creeks. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is leading an ambitious effort to secure fishing rights along the creeks.
Area businesses have recognized the economic benefits this fishery brings, so they are behind efforts to attract more steelhead anglers. While creek access is the greatest obstacle to the fishery, crowding along the creeks is the greatest obstacle to fishing as a result of the publicity our steelhead fishery gets.
Heavy fishing pressure justifies much more effort put into enhancing the fishery. Enhancing the fishery makes fishing pressure even heavier.
Along with heavy fishing pressure comes several problems.
When anglers drive long distances and spend considerable money to get here, they will not easily be deterred by crowding.
One of the signs of this is vehicles parked illegally, or disrespectfully of the landowners. This sometimes causes stream access areas to be posted, which increases crowding elsewhere.
Publicity brings novice steelhead anglers to the creeks. Many of them fish for steelhead just like they fish for stocked trout on the opening weekend of trout season. This results in spooking the steelhead so no one catches many, and a good share that do get caught are, intentionally or not, snagged.
Some -- and I am lost for a word to call them because anglers, fishermen and sportsmen do not fit -- have become quite proficient at snagging steelhead. They use a common tactic called lifting.
Several years ago a licensed guide along Lake Ontario invited me to fish with him for steelhead. He said we would be lifting, and when I protested he said that is the only way they can be caught.
Could it possibly be that some anglers still believe that steelhead cannot be caught by sporting means? If so, do they assume that everyone who catches these fish are cheaters also?
There is a simple solution to all of these problems. It is not so simple as it sounds, though, when faced with so many problems. However, good sportsmanship eliminates all but the unintentional problems.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Traditional, Holiday, Whimsical
What materials did you use? I used pre-quilted material that has a cotton fabric with a design on both sides. Packaged double fold bias binding for the edges. The pincushion was made with cotton fabrics and filled with poly fiberfil. You can stuff it with whatever you like. You can make the actual pin cushion round or square. If you want too you can ad a thin piece of plastic inside it to keep the pins from poking through into the furniture or you if it's laying across your leg. You can just cut one out of a butter tub lid.
What are you most proud of? I made these for a pin cushion swap. I love to hand sew and thought they would be useful for someone who does that too. They are handy and can be carried along with on the go projects.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Just have fun with making what you enjoy doing. I used the double sided pre-quilted material. That way you just cut a strip of it, mine were 6" wide X 18" long. Sew the bias tape across the ends, then fold the ends up to make a pocket on each end. Then sew bias tape along the sides to hide the raw edges. I sewed a line from the fold up to the top edge where the bias tape goes across and made seperate little pockets. They can hold a spool of thread, small scissors, a packet of needles, or even the 'dreaded' seam ripper..Then just make a simple pincushion and attach it with a large button.
What a cute idea. Thanks for sharing.
