The National Science Foundation (NSF) issued final policies in the July 11, 1995 Federal Register that relate to award conditions and revised requirements for proposal submission in order to insure that institutions maintain written and enforced policies on investigator conflicts of interest. This policy change was effective October 1, 1995.
The policies outline the following institutional responsibilities:
- Have a written policy regarding conflicts of interest.
- Designate one or more persons to review financial disclosures and conflict of interest issues.
- Effect adequate enforcement mechanisms and responses.
- Maintain records of disclosures and conflict resolutions for three years or until the resolution of any NSF action involving those records, whichever is longer.
- Certify that identified conflicts of interest will be managed, reduced or eliminated prior to the Institution's expenditure of any funds under the award.
The Institution certifies that we have implemented and are managing a written policy on conflicts of interest consistent with the provisions of Grant Policy Manual Section 510; that, to the best of our knowledge, all financial disclosures required by the conflict of interest policy were made; and that actual or potential conflicts of interest, if any, were, or prior to funding the award, will be satisfactorily managed, reduced or eliminated prior to the expenditure of funds on this award in accordance with the Institution's conflict of interest policy, or disclosed to NSF.The following certification by all Co-Principal Investigators is required by signing the Green Sheets of submitted proposals.
I certify that I have read and understand the Institution's conflict of interest policy. To the best of my knowledge, I have made all appropriate financial disclosures and will comply with any conditions required by the Institution to manage, reduce or eliminate actual or potential conflicts of interest.
The NSF policies outline the following responsibilities for individuals who are responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research or educational activities funded or proposed for funding by NSF:
- They must disclose to WHOI significant financial interests that exceed $10,000 income or 5% equity, including the aggregate financial interests of spouse and children, in any entity whose financial interest would be affected by research funded by NSF. Note that a "significant financial interest" for equity is defined as being 5% or more OR any equity position whose reasonable fair market value is $10,000 or more.
- Disclosures are to be made prior to submission of the proposal to NSF. Disclosures must also be updated during the period of the award, either on an annual basis, or when new or reportable significant financial interests are obtained. Note that NSF will require institutions and investigators involved in large ongoing projects to provide the required certifications for all continuing grant applications exceeding $1,000,000 at the time of the first funding increment that occurs after October 1, 1995.

Maintain active social media feeds so you can directly market your services to clients.
Image Credit: Ivan Walsh As an SME you probably don't have the budget of a major corporation; however, there are plenty of free and low cost marketing methods that will help you compete against them. In today's digital world, social networking, website rankings and content marketing can have a more profound effect on your business than television or radio; and if you manage your online marketing methods effectively, there's no reason why your business won't shine especially if you have and use marketing steps for new business.
Produce Great Content
If you've ever delved into online marketing you've probably heard the phrase "content is key" on numerous occasions. People use the Internet to source information, and if you aren't providing high-quality information they'll simply look on another website. Due to annual changes in Google's algorithms, low-quality content is constantly being filtered out and brushed aside, so the only way to solidify your position is to produce excellent resources. For example, London based serviced office agency Skyline Offices, developed a page specifically designed to help people learn about their industry. Informative information will not only help your readers, but will reinforce your position as an authority in your field.
Maintain Active Social Media Feeds
Social networking websites are hugely powerful. They allow you to instantly connect with potential clients and previous customers with just a few clicks of a button. According to Statistic Brain, the average person spends 15.33 hours on Facebook every month. If you attain followers and regularly keep them updated via social media, you'll constantly be exposing your brand to them. This can equate to hours and hours of free, direct advertising each month. All you need is marketing plan steps, and marketing steps for a sale.
Start Building an Email List
While social media provides platforms that allow you to connect with potential clients, never underestimate the power of an opt-in list. Not everybody will view your updates via social feeds, so having an email list ensures that your message will reach potential clients. Place a subscription form on your website and write a weekly newsletter to keep everybody informed.
Manage Negative Online Reviews
Obviously the priority should lie in providing a good quality service and preventing negative reviews in the first place; however, mistakes do happen and people will warn others. Scour the Internet on a regular basis to see if anyone is verbalizing their negative experience. Try to resolve the problem directly and retain your professionalism when you publically respond.
Use a Responsive Website Design
According to Digital Buzz, over 50% of the world's web users use a smart phone for accessing the Internet. If your website isn't viewable on a mobile device, you could lose a lot of business. Responsive website templates will ensure that your website can be viewed on any browsing device without hindering the quality of the layout. This can significantly increase user engagement for mobile viewing and encourage shares and likes on social media feeds.
Hone your Digital Marketing Strategy with Analytics
Services such as Google Analytics allow you to keep tabs on your visitors and how they use your website. With analytics software you can both pinpoint flaws, and find areas of your website that are performing well. For example, if a certain web page has an unusually high bounce rate, then perhaps you'll need to revaluate the design or amend the copy.
Use Automated Scheduling Software
If you maintain a blog on your website it's important that you keep all of your posts current and up-to-date. If you ever don't have time to write a post, you can write it in advance and use software to schedule the publication to ensure it reaches your readers at an optimal time. For example, if you're marketing a product that will likely sell more at a specific time of the year, but know you won't be around to update the blog, write the post in advance and set a schedule time.
Produce Viral Content
One of the most important elements of ranking highly in the search engines is attaining links from other websites. Blog owners are constantly spammed by companies begging for links; however, a generic link won't provide any real benefit to their readers. This makes it increasingly difficult to attain links from these sources. Produce content that other people within your niche will want to share with others. The Pink Group have attained a large amount of attention after publishing their Social Media Call Sheet, which is designed to help people seamlessly integrate logos across various social media platforms. This page has since received thousands of social media shares on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest because other people actively want to link to the page.
Experiment with Pay-Per-Click Advertising
With pay-per-click advertising you set your daily budget to host an ad on the Internet, and then pay a small sum of money every time somebody clicks on your link. There are a variety of different providers; however, the most powerful are generally considered to be Google and Facebook. While pay-per-click marketing isn't for everybody, it's always worth experimenting to see if you can find a gap in the market that will drive traffic at a low cost.
Don't Ignore Traditional Marketing Methods
Networking events, promotional goods, sponsorships, snail mail, etc. – these marketing techniques have a proven track record of driving results. While traditional marketing methods are generally more costly than online methods, don't completely phase them out of your marketing strategy or out of your marketing strategic planning. A healthy mixture could be exactly what your business needs. In short, if you want to maximize your exposure, use the Internet to engage with potential clients and create resources that provide high-quality information. Word-of-mouth marketing is just as powerful in the digital world as it is in reality; and if you can establish a community around your business, sales will naturally come your way.
It's important to use marketing steps to promote a new program.

The singer, whose performance showed no signs of receiving help from illusionist Criss Angel, lip-synched the song as women cavorted on stripper poles amid a flashy red background. (Click here to see the performance.) The song comes in advance of Spears's as-yet-untitled record due in stores Nov. 13.
The pop star has a history of dramatic performances at the VMAs – including kissing Madonna and dancing with a live snake – but this year's performance, after a weekend of partying, seemed off if not less entertaining.
And at least one review was in almost immediately. Following Spears's performance, comedian Sarah Silverman offered her sarcastic take. "Was that incredible? Britney Spears, everyone," Silverman said. "Wow. She is amazing. She is 25 years old and she's already accomplished everything she's going to accomplish in her life. It's mind blowing."
Silverman even went after the pop star's personal life, calling Spears's sons Sean Preston and Jayden James "the most adorable mistakes you will ever see."
Later backstage, hip-hop star Akon offered his reaction to Spears's performance, telling PEOPLE: "That could have been better. She needed to focus more. She looked nervous and I think the pressure got to her."
Similarly, Common told PEOPLE about Spears: "I think it didn't seem like she wanted to be there. There wasn't any spark, it didn't feel like life was there."
Before the show, many artists weighed in on her comeback. During MTV's official pre-show, Mary J. Blige wished the beleaguered pop star all the best. "I absolutely think Britney could make the comeback," Blige said on the telecast. "Someone who's been through as much as she's been through – you just want her to win. I know I want her to win."
Sorry! This poll has closed.

OSCARS: 'Les Misérables', 'Dreamgirls', 'Chicago' To Receive Special Tribute
Along with a tribute to James Bond's 50th anniversary, Oscar telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced today they'll also pay homage to recent movie musicals during the ceremony February 24. The pair knows a thing or two about big-screen tuners with credits that include Footloose, Hairspray and 2002's Oscar winner Chicago. The latter is part of the showcase as is this year's Best Picture nominee Les Misérables. Here's the release:
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – The Oscars will include a special celebration of movie musicals of the last ten years, the telecast's producers announced today.
"The musical as a motion picture genre has had a remarkable renaissance in the last decade," said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. "We are excited to showcase three musical films—'Chicago,' 'Dreamgirls' and 'Les Misérables'— on our Oscar® show."
Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24 at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
Ugh. I bet they feature the deplorable NINE and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA also. This is so pointless and seems to be honoring their own questionable achievements. The great musicals are all long ago. The total crup pumped out nowdays is pathetic. Zaden/Meron are always to eager to stoke their own egos. Ugh.
Aaaaannnnd THIS is why people hate the Oscars! These guys have a lot of gall paying tribute to themselves.
So the producers of recent movie musicals are planning a tribute to recent movie musicals. Okay, got it.
Great! Now we can waste more time and make the show longer with unnecesary tributes that don't make sense. A Best Picture winner that narrowly (according to The Pianist's wins) beat its competition, a musical they disliked enough to NOT nominate it for BP and a musical heavily criticized that still got nominated for BP but missed director, screenplay and editing meaning that really didn't like it that much.
How are these three films tribute worthy at the Oscars?
What a shocker…never saw this coming…lalalalala.
That's so obnoxious that they're paying tribute to themselves.
This is Zadan and Meron's last chance hurrah in the feature musical world to remind people that they once had their 15 mins there. who are they getting to sing their swan song at the Oscars?
Very sad to see these mainstream mediocre musicals honored as the best of the last decade and easily the best musical of that time, Once, overlooked.
Instead of bloating the show with irrelevant production numbers why not use the extra time to show more and better clips from the nominated movies and performances. Aren't we supposed to be celebrating the movies of 2012? What does Chicago have to do with that? This isn't the Tonys.
They wish they were the Tonys. The Tonys have an identity.
In 2001 Baz Luhrmann directed MOULIN ROUGE, which single-handedly re-introduced the movie musical to this generation, but has never received its due.
It wasn't until the following year when the ham-tastic CHICAGO won praise hand-over-fist for finally being put to film after opening on Broadway 25 years earlier.
And now we should pay homage to the fact that Hollywood had re-discovered the cash-cow of regurgitating dusty projects from Broadway? DREAMGIRLS, also 25 yrs later, LES MIS, 26 years …
Instead of commending Hollywood on pilfering from the distant past, they should encourage the bold genius of making something unique that opened the audience's eyes again.
Now THERE is an homage I would like to see – "Films that reintroduced genres".
It's nice that Zadan and Meron have a forum to express what big fans they are of themselves.
This is absolutely disgusting!!!! Allowing the show producers to honor their own work??? Giving an extra tribute for one of the Best Picture nominees? If the Oscars had any sense of decency or class, they would immediately cancel this idea. Inappropriate on so many levels.

While a player's first mini-camp means almost nothing in the grand scheme of his entire career, first impressions are very important for everyone, even for NFL players.
The Raiders rookies had a chance to make a good first impression this weekend during the Raiders first 2013 mini-camp.
While we don't know how the coaching staff feels about every prospect, some Raiders rookies made a good first impression with the assembled media – and some failed to make any impression at all.
By nature of the mini-camp not allowing contact, the winners and losers are all offensive because defenders aren't really able to show much – especially the linebackers and defensive-linemen.
WR Brice Butler – Butler was probably the biggest standout of the day. The Raiders were working on 3rd down scenarios today, per head coach Dennis Allen, and that resulted in a variety of down the field passes with which Butler was able to excel.
Showing his great speed and an underrated ability to adjust to a ball in flight and put himself in a position to make some difficult passes down the field. As a seventh round selection, Butler is no lock to make the team so making plays early will go a long way for him.
WR Conner Vernon – Vernon joined the silver and black as a rookie free agent after being undrafted. However, the 6'0" receiver had a solid career at Duke, being particularly known for his solid hands and being able to get some yards after the catch.
On Saturday, he demonstrated his hand-eye coordination, not having any noted drops by any of the media present. While any undrafted free agent faces an uphill battle to make the squad, Vernon took the first step, today, by catching the balls that were thrown to him. TFDS' Levi Damien said that Vernon was a "crisp route runner, doesn't break stride, watches ball in."
RB Latavius Moore – Like Butler, Moore was drafted which already gives him a leg-up on making the squad. He helped himself even so, by show-casing good hands coming out of the backfield and making some solid receptions on swing passes. The more areas of the game Murray can show himself to be proficient, the more likely he'll not only make the final squad but will see decent playing time in 2013.
RB Deonte Williams – The running back spot is as open as any on the team with only starter Darren McFadden guaranteed a roster spot. So Williams, who dropped a couple of easy passes had a poor day in front of the media. He can rebound, of course, but every practice counts for an undrafted free agent. Especially a practice the counted GM Reggie McKenzie and owner Mark Davis among those in attendance.
WR Sam McGuffie – another receiver that came to the Raiders after going undrafted, McGuffie had a forgettable day. He didn't make any catches or plays worth mentioning, and, as TFDS' Levi Damien said on twitter about McGuffie not standing out, "no news is not good news."
QB Kyle Padron – It's very unlikely that Padron would make the active squad. If anything, he's playing for a practice squad position. Padron most stood out today, however, making some errant throws including a number underthrown. That lack of arm strength may mean Padron's time with the Silver & Black will come to an end before even regular training camp.

SALEM -Registered and licensed dietitian Linda Ro of the Salem Area Visiting Nurses described fruits and vegetables as the super foods of nutrition: key ingredients in the quest to keep young.
But she also warned when trying to change the way the whole family eats, make sure the food tastes good. Spice up the vegetables, experiment with herbs and make the food smell good, too. Increase the size of the servings gradually.
Those were just some of the suggestions made during Ro's presentation on "The Fountain of Youth: Spicing It Up" during the fifth annual Women's Night Out at the Salem Community Center.

Ro's talks on nutrition at past Women's Night Out events always packed the room and Wednesday was no exception. She focused on a number of ways for staying young, with the eating of five servings of fruits and vegetables every day the one she focused on the most.
She said don't smoke and quit if you do, noting that smoking ages skin. Although she's never smoked, she said she understands it's not that easy and referred to 1-800-QUITNOW where smokers can go for help. As for the weight gain claim that goes with quitting, she said quitters won't gain as much as they think, suggesting they plan ahead for healthy snacks to replace their cigarettes.
Another way she noted to stay young was physical activity, such as walking, running, dancing, or swimming. She said do a few exercises while waiting for faxes at work, get up and walk around at least once an hour, dance with the grandkids, do gardening, do something you enjoy.
"If you do not like jogging, don't decide to jog," she said. "Any chance you have, move."
She said it's not about losing calories, but maintaining muscle mass. Another way to stay young was keeping a body mass index between 18.5 and 25. She said anywhere between 25 and 29 is overweight and over 30 is obese.
To lose weight, she said don't go on a diet. She said "you must change your eating habits permanently." Gradually decrease portion size.
She talked about food groups, advising to look for whole grain or whole wheat products. She said vegetable servings can be increased easily and take the form of salads or even tomato sauce. She said it doesn't matter if the fruit is fresh, canned or frozen, and look for low sodium or no sodium and lite syrup. She said focus on low fat dairy, which is a good source of calcium and protein. Make a smoothie and get the dairy and fruit together. Eat lean red meat at least a couple times a week for the iron and zinc and include fish such as salmon or albacore tuna. Include eggs, nuts and legumes.
Another necessity for staying young is getting your vitamin D level checked and take a supplement if necessary to increase the level.
Local weatherman Jim Loboy, host of Daybreak WYTV on Channel 33, also spoke, talking about his career in radio and television and warning that the area may experience a colder than normal spring due to the ice still covering Lake Erie.
New to this year's event were mini spa treatments featuring chair massages, hand massages, cuticle cleanings and paraffin hand treatments, along with a shortened time frame and cash prizes. The event still included a buffet dinner by The Catered Affair, a chocolate fountain, shopping in the vendor's marketplace, giveaways and entertainment. The Jack Halkides Quintet presented a jazz concert.
At least 300 attended and SCC Executive Director Heather Young said what really excited her was the way the people seemed to take advantage of all the offerings. She said everybody was socializing and having a good time, which is one of the main goals of Women's Night Out, along with raising funds to maintain the Children's Fitness Center and its programming.

The world's first magnetic soap!
Bristol University team dissolve iron in liquid surfactant to create a soap that can be controlled by magnets. The discovery, published today in Angewandte Chemie, could be used to create cleaning products that can be removed after application and used in the recovery of oil spills at sea.
Scientists from Bristol University have developed a soap, composed of iron rich salts dissolved in water, that responds to a magnetic field when placed in solution. The soap's magnetic properties were proved with neutrons at the Institut Laue-Langevin to result from tiny iron-rich clumps that sit within the watery solution. The generation of this property in a fully functional soap could calm concerns over the use of soaps in oil-spill clean ups and revolutionise industrial cleaning products.

The lawsuit against the United States moves forward without a $1.3 million fine per day against Hobby Lobby for not supplying employees with what Hobby Lobby founder David Green calls "abortion inducing" contraceptives.
The Green family, who are Oklahoma city residents, believe their religious rights are violated by the new Obamacare mandate requiring them to provide 20 different types of birth control to their employees.
Federal Judge Joe Heaton had originally ruled that the company must comply with the mandate but was overruled by an appeals court. That appeals court says Hobby Lobby is likely to win its case against the federal government.

From dream-casting the movie to hearing Barbara Walters wax poetic on S&M, we thought we'd seen it all when it came to Fifty Shades of Grey. But Ellen DeGeneres stepped it up a notch on Thursday. The talk show host and comedienne did a dramatic reading of the popular E L James romance novel as a "taping" of the audiobook version. Check out the clip below and tell us what you think — does her interpretation make you laugh out loud (I did!), or is it an injustice to some of the best literature of our time?

STEVE Austin, the bionic man, was hero to a generation of children who grew up in the 1970s. "We can rebuild him. We have the technology" ran the introduction to The Six Million Dollar Man, the cult TV drama starring Lee Majors as a test pilot whose wrecked body was reconstructed at considerable cost, enabling him to run at 60 miles per hour and lift a car with one hand.
Yesterday a Scottish company, Touch Bionics, also declared: "We have the technology," with their announcement that they had successfully developed the world's first commercially available bionic hand. While the i-LIMB Hand may not bequeath its user with the strength of Mr Austin, it has transformed the lives of patients around the world and comes with a more reasonable price tag of 9,000.
The prosthetic device offers greater mobility and authenticity than any previous artificial hand. It allows users to perform far more nimble tasks such as holding a card or turning a key in a lock. The hand has five individually powered digits that can bend like natural fingers and has revolutionised the abilities of patients.
Among the first to use the i-LIMB were members of the American military, where amputations have increased dramatically as a result of the Iraq war. Juan Arredondo, a retired Sergeant with the 2nd Infantry Division, 1/506 Destroyer Company, lost his hand in 2004 after his patrol vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device.
"Every day that I have the hand, it surprises me. Now I can pick up a Styrofoam cup without crushing it. With my other hand, I would really have to concentrate on how much pressure I was putting on the cup. The i-LIMB hand does things naturally. I can just grab the cup like a regular person."
The development of prosthetic limbs spans centuries, from the peg legs of pirates to the solid wooden hands fitted to veterans of the First World War. In Britain development of artificial limbs picked up pace in the 1960s as the NHS coped with the armless victims of Thalidomide, the drug taken by mothers to suppress morning sickness which resulted in birth defects.
In the 1970s a new form of prosthetic arm was developed using a technology called myoelectric, which connected the muscle signals in a patient's arm to an artificial hand which could then open and close at will. Unfortunately this device was rudimentary, and was often shaped like a claw or pincer. Although it allowed a person to hold an object, there was little subtlety of movement.
By comparison the i-LIMB Hand offers a unique, highly intuitive control system that uses the traditional myoelectric signal input to open and close the hand's lifelike fingers, but has more facilities. Myoelectric controls use the electrical signal generated by muscles in the remaining portion of a patient's limb. This signal is picked up by electrodes that sit on the surface of the skin. As a result users of existing, basic myoelectric prosthetic hands can quickly adapt to the system.
The system does not involve surgery. Two small electrode plates, which detect the minute electrical signals generated by the remaining muscles in the limb stump, are placed against the skin to pick up signals. Traditionally, one electrode is placed on the top of the forearm and one on the bottom.
Patients usually have a sensation that their hand still exists despite it being amputated, something often referred to as phantom feelings. When encouraged to generate a strong signal, patients are often asked to move and flex their missing hand to generate a strong control signal. Before too long, these reflexes become intuitive, and the i-LIMB Hand and patient interact in a symbiotic way.
As each finger can move individually it offers each person a different range of grips such as using the index finger and thumb to pick up small objects, while the addition of a rotating wrist enables the patient to turn keys in a lock, an impossibility under the previous system.
"It is a paradigm shift," said David Gow, the director of rehabilitation engineering services at NHS Lothian, who invented the hand. "It will change the face of prosthetics forever. It is now much more human."
The research for the i-LIMB was initially carried out by Mr Gow for the NHS, but to receive extra funding from the department of Trade and Industry it was necessary to set up a separate company, Touch Bionics, in 2002. The NHS took shares in the company and agreed to Mr Gow's secondment two days a week. Over the past five years, Touch Bionics has expanded and now occupies premises in Livingston with a workshop, assembly room, offices and clinic.
In order to maximise the commercial potential of the company it was necessary to target the largest market: the United States, which averages 20,000 amputations each year. Over the past year the i-LIMB has been tested with successful results. John German, 40, a medical salesman and clinical technician from Altoona, Pennsylvania, who lost his hand in 1987, was recently fitted with the i-LIMB Hand. He insists it is far superior to the other prostheses he has used over the past 20 years. "My previous hand was no better than a wireless mechanical hook, whereas the i-LIMB Hand is a dynamic hand. I'm doing things now I couldn't do a month ago. I'm eating my dinner with a knife and fork. I have not been able to do that for 30 years."
Lindsay Block, 26, of Oklahoma City, has had a lifetime of experience with prosthetics. Born missing the lower part of her left arm as the result of a birth defect, Ms Block has used almost every new generation of prosthetic technology since being fitted with her first one when only six months old. She is particularly impressed both by the lifelike look of the i-LIMB and by its extensive range of motion. "When I'm wearing the i-LIMB Hand, I'm pretty sure that someone who doesn't know me wouldn't even guess that it wasn't my own hand," she said. "It's cool how it can adjust to whatever it is grabbing on to. You don't have to strategise so much because it's not limited and will adjust, depending on what it's gripping on to."
The hand is powered by batteries that drive the five internal motors which, like a mobile phone, can be recharged overnight. Yet despite the i-LIMB's success, there is an ironic twist: it is not yet available on the NHS. "The NHS doesn't take on a new product without careful testing, so it could between two to five years before it is available," said Mr Gow.
'Amazing how quickly I could learn things'
IN 1977, Donald McKillop underwent an amputation of his right hand due to complications from an accident nine years previously . After some basic rehabilitation, he was quickly fitted with a body-powered prosthesis so he could begin working again as a welder.
"You have to get on with your life. You can't go on thinking that you'll wake up the next morning and your hand has started to grow back," Mr McKillop, 61, said. "I'm always a positive person. Of course there are frustrations, but you can always find ways to do things."
The developments in his life caused him to take an interest in the development of prosthesis, and Mr McKillop became involved with The National Centre for Training and Education in Prosthetics and Orthotics at the University of Strathclyde.
For the past 30 years, he has been a willing participant in the research activities of the centre, and it was this connection that first brought him into contact with Touch Bionics.
In 2006, he was one of the first patients to be fitted with Touch Bionics' i-LIMB Hand - and he immediately experienced the benefits.
"I was amazed by how quickly I could learn to do things with the i-LIMB Hand, even only an hour after being fitted with the hand and being talked through some basic exercises," he said.
"The most important thing is the movement of the fingers - that's what really makes the difference. It's truly incredible to see the fingers moving and gripping around objects I haven't been able to pick up before. The hand does feel like a replacement for my missing hand and it is now natural for me to pick up all sorts of objects. It makes everyday activities much easier."
Since being fitted with the i-LIMB Hand, Mr McKillop says he is better able to do things such as cooking, gardening and woodworking.
Q: What is the i-LIMB Hand?
A: The hand is the world's first commercially available multi-articulating bionic hand. It has five independently powered digits that open and close around objects. It supports amputees in their everyday lives. In medicine, bionics means the replacement or enhancement of organs or other body parts by mechanical means.
Q: What are ProDigits?
A: ProDigits, short for Prosthetic Digits, are the self-contained fingers that are individually powered and controlled to provide new fingers for partial-hand patients. The i-LIMB Hand is effectively a chassis for five ProDigits. Individual ProDigits are used for patients who have lost part of their hand and/or a whole finger or fingers.
How is the i-LIMB Hand controlled?
A: The i-LIMB Hand relies on some of the most advanced control software yet seen in the prosthetics industry. This software provides speed and grip-strength control, while patients generate signals to control the device in a way that doesn't differ from how traditional devices have operated in the past.
Q. Is surgery required? Does it connect to nerves?
A. No. A traditional myoelectric system is employed. Two small metal electrode plates, which detect the minute electrical signals generated by the remaining muscles in the limb stump, are placed against the skin to pick up signals. Traditionally, one electrode is placed on the top of the forearm and the other on the bottom.
Q. Is the i-LIMB Hand controlled by thought?
A. No, it is controlled by sensing electrical impulses in the forearm. Patients usually have a sensation that their hand still exists, despite it being amputated, something often referred to as phantom feelings. When encouraged to generate a strong signal, patients are often asked to move and flex their missing hand to generate a strong control signal. Before too long, these reflexes become intuitive, and the i-LIMB Hand and patient interact in a symbiotic way.

1937 Negro League East-West All-Star Game Large-Format Presentation Photograph (Ex-Buck Leonard Personal Collection)
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $4,993.75
Original presentation display photograph (10.5 x 14 inches) of the Negro League East-West All-Star game East Squad team taken on August 8, 1937, at Comiskey Park, where the annual classic was played. Each player is wearing his respective Negro League team's uniform. The photographer, L. L. Foster, is identified in the lower left. The photo is captioned in white lettering in the lower right "East-West Game - Aug 8, 1937 - Comiskey Park - Chicago, IL." This team includes Hall of Famers Buck Leonard, Leon Day, Ray Dandridge, Willie Wells, Biz Mackey, and Mule Suttles. Buck Leonard's home run helped the East to a 7-2 victory. The East-West Classic started in 1933, the same year as the Major League All-Star game, and was the Negro League's annual showcase event. The East-West All-Star game drew enormous crowds, and was considered to be a more important event than even the postseason World Series. The historical significance of this photo is equaled only by its provenance. This photo originates from the personal collection of Buck Leonard and was later obtained by famed Negro League collector Jeff Eastland, where it remained for many years before being sold, along with his entire collection, in Robert Edward Auctions' 2004 sale. These large-format display photographs were presented to each player on the team. This was Buck Leonard's personal presentation photo, given to him as a keepsake in honor of his participation in the 1937 Negro League East-West All-Star game. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only surviving example. Buck Leonard neatly wrote the score of the game, "East-Winner - 7-2," at the top of the photo, above the players. When Robert Edward Auctions originally offered this piece in 2004 it was accompanied by a photo (copy) of Buck Leonard and Jeff Eastland posing together in Leonard's den, with this very photograph hanging on the wall behind them (unfortunately, that photo is not included here). Exceptionally high quality photograph with tremendous detail. In Excellent condition. Beautifully matted and framed to dimensions of 17 x 20 inches. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000. SOLD FOR $4,993.75

SPRING ARBOR TWP., MI – Students looking to attend a "healthy" college may want to give Spring Arbor University a look.
The school came in 14th on The Daily Beast's list of top 20 healthiest colleges in America for 2013. Brigham Young University was No. 1.
The online publication used College Prowler ratings and based its list on the schools that scored highest in having drug- free and non-drinking campuses and offering healthy dining options.
Spring Arbor scored 8.5 on a 10-point scale in both the drug-free and non-drinking campus categories and 7.9 on a 10-point scale for offering healthy campus dining.
SAU offers a variety of dining options, including vegetarian and gluten-free meals and snacks, and it works to accommodate students with special dietary needs, school officials said in a press release.

Palm Design VP Joins Nokia as VP of MeeGo UX
Peter Skillman brings interface knowledge to burgeoning open source platform.
Peter Skillman, design VP at Palm has defected to Nokia where he will lend his user interface knowledge to MeeGo. Skill worked directly on Palm's webOS, which while never a top-seller, has definitely earned high marks for its design presentation.
Skillman was also a VP of user experience at Palm before his promotion to design VP. At Nokia, Skillman will oversee the MeeGo user experience as VP of MeeGo UX and services. Skillman is a logical choice for MeeGo, not only because of his experience, but because the operating system already borrows a few visual cues from Palm's OS, namely it's carousel-style app-switching.
In the wake of HP's Palm purchase Matias Duarte, Palm's senior director of human interface and user experience and lead designer behind webOS has gone to Google for Android and now a Skillman has gone to Nokia for MeeGo. What this means for the user interfaces of these three operating systems is uncertain, but one thing that is for sure: It's going to be an interesting next 6 months on mobile platforms.

Even though PivotTables do a great job of slicing, dicing, and baking your data so many different ways, sometimes you will get the clarity you need only by looking at a PivotChart. Now, there are two ways that you can create a PivotChart and I will show you both ways. One is you can take an existing PivotTable and make a chart out of it. The other way is to skip the middleman. Create a PivotChart directly from your underlying data without having to create a PivotTable first. Well, let's do the first method first. We already have a PivotTable here. And if you want, you could go down and click the Data tab just to see the underlying data.
I will click back on the PivotTable tab. And make sure you click somewhere in the PivotTable. It doesn't really matter where. Now, up here on the Ribbon bar, you have the PivotTable Tools section. And select the Options tab, and over here click PivotChart. And this will let us insert a chart. And you have so many different types of charts you can use. Let's select Column. And I am just going to choose the fourth one here, so that's a nice basic 3-D Column Chart. And then click OK. And boom, it just pops the chart onto the screen.
Now, just like a PivotTable, we can filter this. Go down here in the lower left corner and click Region. And I will click that Select All. So we deselect all. Maybe we just want to see Central and Southeast, so select those two and click OK. And now we see just those. Maybe we want to filter the months. So click the Month drop-down. And let's say we only care about February, March, and not January. So deselect January. And click OK. We could also filter by size. Click on Size and maybe we only want to see the 1 liter and 2 liter and not the 750s.
So click over here to select multiple items and just deselect the 750s, and click OK. And there you are. So now we have this filtered by three different categories. Now, we can also add slicers to the PivotChart. So up here again in the PivotChart Tools tab, click the Analyze tab and Insert Slicer, and from the pop- up choose Insert Slicer. And let's insert slicers for Region and Month. And click OK. And you can drag these out of the way.
Maybe drag the chart out of the way here. And before we go and use them, let's go and format them. Select the Slicer and maybe select the other Slicer. And let's give these kinds of olive-y looks. Maybe we want Southeast through Northeast. So select Southeast and then Shift+Click Northeast. And maybe we want to see January, March, and not February. So click January and then Ctrl+Click March. So we have those.
And of course we could unfilter these whichever way we like. Okay. Let's take a look at the other method of creating a PivotChart and that is directly from the source data. So down here, click the Data tab and just make sure you are clicked anywhere inside the Data area. It doesn't really matter where. And just like PivotTables, PivotCharts are things that we insert. So we go to the Insert tab. Now, over here on the left, click PivotTable and then choose PivotChart. Let's move this out of the way.
And Excel correctly guesses our data area, including the column headers. And we will put this on a new worksheet. So I am just going to accept the defaults and click OK. Now, in a PivotTable, we would define columns and rows, but in a PivotChart, we define Axis and Legend fields. So let's go and do that. Let's take the Region and let's drag the Region into the Axis fields. And let's take Size and drag Size into the Legend fields.
So now we have the basic structure of our chart. And the data that we want to summarize is the Quantity. So take Quantity and drag Quantity into the sub-values and now we can filter it by month. So take Month and drag into the Report filter. Now before we go and format it, let's go and use it. If you take a look at the chart here, we have it grouped by Region and in the Legend we have by Size. Now, in Excel's terminology, the Size is the series. So we have this 1 liter in blue and you see we have these blue bars.
So what that means is we have a 1-liter series. We have a 2-liter series. Now, if we decide we want the opposite, maybe we want the series to be the Regions and the groups to be the Size, it takes one click. In the PivotChart Tools section, make sure the Design tab is selected. And over here click Switch Row / Column, and boom, it's done. So now we are grouped by Size. And the Legend is done by Region. So we have a Southeast region and a Central region. We have a 1 liter group, 2 liter group, and so on.
Now let's format it. Make sure your chart is selected, and up here under Chart Styles, click that down arrow and you can choose a style. Notice that when you roll your mouse over it, it does not change dynamically. You actually have to click one to take effect. And I will choose this kind of 3-D olive-y color. Now, we can insert Slicers here also. So up here in the Ribbon bar, click the Analyze tab, and click Insert Slicer. And then choose Insert Slicer from the fly-out. And let's do a Slicer for the Region.
So just click Region and click OK. And move this out of the way. And again, we can format this. Maybe click this arrow here. And I will choose, again, a green sort of olivey color. And maybe we just want to see the Central and Northeast regions instead and not the Southeast and West. So click Central and then Ctrl+ Click Northeast, and we see that.

Bryan, Phelps help North East rally
NORTH EAST -- Jordan Bryan and Andrew Phelps earned victories for North East in the match's final two weight classes to seal the Grapepickers' 37-36 victory over Union City on Tuesday.
Bryan earned a 10-1 major decision over Cody Thomas in the 182-pound class to put North East (2-0) within striking distance. Phelps completed the comeback with a pin of Jacob Beck 3 minutes, 24 seconds into the 195-pound bout.
The difference in the one-point match might have come in the 152-pound match when Union City lost a point for sportsmanship after a pin by North East's Steve Kocher.
Tyler Stapp's 9-5 decision over Austin Kesserling in the 220 bout helped North East get off to a good start in the match, as the Grapepickers earned victories in three of the first four weight classes.
Union City dropped to 1-2.
- Fort LeBoeuf 63, Eisenhower 6: At Waterford, Evan Daley earned his 100th victory as the Bison blew past the Knights in a Region 3 dual meet.
Daley earned a pin at the 1:13 mark at 220 pounds for his milestone win.
At 132 pounds, Fort LeBoeuf's Adam Borgia won a 2-1 ultimate tiebreaker over Zeb Fedorchic, while Eli Humes won a 3-1 decision at 170 pounds for the Bison (2-1, 2-0).
Eisenhower dropped to 2-1 overall and in the region.
- McDowell 62, Titusville 9: At McDowell, first-year wrestler Keegan Fordyce came off the bench at 113 pounds to help the Trojans to a lopsided victory against the Rockets in a Region 4 matchup.
Fordyce, subbing for the injured Benji Yates, earned a 6-4 decision against Caleb Chase.
Joe Campanella (170 pounds) and Kyle Rogers (182 pounds) each moved up one weight class and also earned decision victories for the Trojans (4-0, 2-0).
Ehrin Lee (160 pounds) and Ty Lohr (220 pounds) earned the only victories for Titusville.

Greetings all,
Reading "Air Force One" threads gets everyone wondering about other possible variants of this special aircraft. Not everyone is aware however of the support aircraft. Namely the E4-B.
Kind of hopping around here, but now that the 747-800 has been launched I think it's pretty much a given that it will be the next "Air Force One". A lot has been mentioned about the unused space above the main cabin that can/will be used for crew rest, galley storage and so on.
Now, with technology coming as far as it has with computers, specifically thier reduced size, couldn't the Air Force use this "unused" space as a war room section of the aircraft? All info could be transmitted down to the main conference room. This could possibly eliminate the need for the E4-B.
Just curious as to what some of you with the "in the know" think about this.

SALEM The Salem Quakers' volleyball home opener went the way they wanted - in complete control.
Salem led United throughout the evening on the way to a 25-12, 25-11, 25-15, win at Cabas Gymnasium on Thursday.
"I was very happy with the way they played," Salem coach Allie Rich-Winner said. "Overall they were very aggressive on hitting."
Top Quakers were Maria Shivers with 10 kills followed by Kacey Costal with four kills. Carson Herron had 17 assists and six aces, and Olivia Stiff also had six aces.
Despite a rally by United that closed the gap to two points in the third game, Salem kept its focus, something that cost them against Canfield on Saturday.
"We had a big lead, and then just lost it," Winner said. "I thought our defense could have played better, but overall very pleased with the way we played tonight."
The evening proved tough for United, leaving coach Troy Brunner with little to discuss.
"As you can see tonight was a tough night." Brunner said. "We'll just leave it at that."
Sylvia Moats led the Eagles with 13 digs.
"I know they're a young team," Winner said. "They've lost some big hitters from last year, but it will get better."
United (1-1) heads to West Branch on Saturday. Salem (2-1) travels next to Minerva Wednesday.
The Quakers made it a sweep as they won the junior varsity match, 25-8, 25-19.
Kate Paumier had five kills and Kelly Barley eight assists to lead the Quakers. For United, Mariah Eisenbraun served five aces and Morgan Smith had four kills.

How retailers can harness SoLoMo to reach the 'always addressable customer'
Floating Widget
Floating Item Container
Floating Rate Widget
Your Rating
The term "SoLoMo" has been walking the line of buzzword or trend for a little over a year. And as Melissa Parrish of Forrester Research pointed out at the Shop.org digital retail marketing workshop in New York, this term for brands and retailers has primarily centered around the "check-in" function via sites like Foursquare. Social and mobile usage and participation have both grown steadily, per Forrester Technographics data, and consumers are increasingly using social and mobile together. So how about the "Lo" (location) part?
Parrish feels that geosocial apps dominate when compared to Internet location features, incorporating location as an integral feature and making privacy key. "Despite these promising features, few people – about 5% of U.S. online users who own a mobile phone – are actually using these apps today," Parrish noted. That's not to say that that 5% isn't worthy of a retailer's attention –they skew younger (75% of these geolocation app users are between ages 23 and 45) and male; are very active on their mobile devices and online; and are twice as likely than the average U.S. online adults to share product information, reviews, and offers or discounts.
As such, Parrish thinks that defining "local" solely in terms of geolocation apps simply doesn't paint the whole picture. In the course of their ongoing consumer research, Forrester analysts have seen another online consumer pattern emerging – the rise of the "always addressable customer." This is a consumer who fits the bill on three fronts simultaneously:
- Owns and personally uses at least three connected devices
- Goes online multiple times throughout the day
- Goes online from at least three different physical locations
Another attribute of this group, Parrish continued, is that these customers are highly educated, tend to be high-earning, are sophisticated mobile users and very socially active. This consumer approaches technology as the tool that helps him or her accomplish whatever the task at hand.
Last year, Forrester found some very telling data when they took a closer look at the always addressable customer. Their research found that 37% of North Americans were 'always addressable customers,' a significant leap from 17% in 2010. It's safe to say that this segment of consumers is likely to become the norm rather than an anomaly – and for some generational groups, it already is. In 2011, approximately 3 out of 5 Gen Z (18 to 22 year olds) and Gen Y (23 to 31) fell into the category; along with close to half of Gen X and a quarter of Younger Boomers. Older consumers aren't sitting on the sidelines – one in five older boomers (56 to 66) and one in ten 67 years or older fall into this category as well.
So where does "local" fit in to this data? For a retailer, the "Lo" part of SoLoMo is simply that wherever your customer goes, you must be there. "Don't think technology first – think about what your customer needs," Parrish emphasized. Unfettered by preconceived ideas about which device to use for a specific purpose, consumers increasingly turn to whichever device is at hand and that suits both the task and the location (commuting on the train, at home in the evening, waiting to pick up the kids, standing in a store researching a product – and even on vacation). I would add that this untethered consumer wants to interact with you – so make sure product information, emails, social media integration, even the cross-channel cart all render seamlessly across devices. And that term "connected device"? Likely soon one for the history books – as Parrish concluded, consumers increasingly just think of them as plain old devices or tools – the "connected" bit is entirely a given.

Agent Authorization Letter
Agents are the people, firm, agency that acts for, or is in place of others from whom they get an authority to carry the work assigned to them. You may find agents in professional and government offices. For every type of work, you need to have an agent. They can help you in getting a job, pushing your files in some government office, securing a driving license, passport, visa, etc.
To authorize an agent to transact certain legal business on your behalf, you have to give the power of attorney to the agent. It is a legal document that gives the power to the agent to act on your behalf in whatever matter you specify in the power of attorney document. By giving the power of attorney, you can be sure that the assigned work is been taken care of even in your absence. There are many instances where you can authorize an agent to act for you. It can be your tax related issue, property issue, or to collect information from any of the government departments, making financial decisions, health care decisions, etc.
Nowadays, most of the people are sorting help of the agents for the property related matters. They can sign the real estate documents when you cannot be present in person for the transactions if you have given them the power of attorney. Another area where you can authorize an agent to act for you is when you are out of the country on a job and you need someone to handle your banking transaction and other legal matters.
An agent authorization letter should include the name of the person, or the title holder of the property, the address and description of the property the agent is authorized to take decisions for. The name, address, license number of the agent authorized to act for the property. It should mention about the authority the agent is authorized to carry out. The letter should carry some identification such as driving license, social security number for both the agent and principal. Lastly, the letter should carry the seal and signature of the notary.

Soul & Motown Tribute Night
Budding sportsmen and women are being invited to try their hand at a range of Paralympic sports.
The event at Middlesbrough's Clairville Stadium on Thursday, September 8 coincides with London's first ever hosting of International Paralympic Day.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) will be highlighting all 20 Paralympic Sports set to feature in the Paralympic Games in London 2012.
The celebration of Paralympic sport is also highlighting the sale of tickets for the games, with more than two million tickets being made available on Friday, September 9.
And to mark the occasion locally, Middlesbrough Council's Sports Development Team is putting five Paralympic sports under the spotlight at Clairville Stadium.
The session, taking place around the outdoor track and field events area, is open to all - anyone with any disability is invited to try their hand at the events between 2pm and 5pm.
Sports being demonstrated by qualified coaches are athletics, boccia, sitting volleyball, table tennis and wheelchair fencing.
Paralympians from our region include: Tanni Grey-Thompson (athletics), Charlotte Ellis (triathlon), Lee Fawcett (fencing), Terri Bywater (wheelchair basketball), Kenny Churchill (athletics) and more recently Jade Jones (athletics).
Councillor Brenda Thompson, Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Public Health and Sport, said: "With less than a year to go to the Games, this is a great opportunity for people to get involved.
"The Paralympic Games are a huge part of the Olympic movement and we already have a number of household names in this area.
"I'm sure there are many more would-be athletes out there who would love to try their hand at these challenging and enjoyable events.
"Who knows – this process could unearth a star of the future, but it's equally a promotion of the recreational and social benefits that sport has to offer for everyone."

Sept 15, 2005 | Can cell systems biology rescue drug discovery? That's the ambitious title to a June 2005 Perspective in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery [1] written by Eugene Butcher, a professor of pathology at Stanford University and cofounder of BioSeek, a small company that thinks the answer to that question, at least in part, is yes.
Founded in late 2000, BioSeek is the brainchild of Butcher and Ellen Berg, also a cofounder and its chief scientific officer. Berg led the efforts to develop BioMAP - biologically multiplexed activity profiling - the company's core cell-based assay technology. The basic idea is to put a small number of primary human cell types, say endothelial cells and blood mononuclear cells, into a small number of different environments, each with a different blend of activators for known pathways, and then screen compounds in each.
"The reality is that drugs work in a very complex setting," says Berg. "Instead of the typical screening drug discovery where the approach is to isolate a pathway, isolate the target, and use that for screening drugs, we turn on many pathways at once. Then we perturb them with the drug and measure a set of readouts. It turns out that changes in the protein level in the assay are surprisingly reproducible and robust, and it's due to the reality that complex systems actually behave quite reproducibly."
Somewhat unusually, the impetus for BioSeek's approach was not derived from ongoing work in an academic lab or other company. Rather, Berg had been mulling over how to improve assay effectiveness. Prior to founding BioSeek, she was at Protein Design Labs and involved in discovery and development of antibodies for treatment of inflammatory diseases. Berg holds patents in inflammation biology and cell adhesion.
'Poised for Growth'Writing in Nature Biotechnology in October 2004 [2], Butcher, Berg, and Eric Kunkel, head of biology and assay development at BioSeek, described a panel of just four different cell cocktails able to reflect the distinctive contributions of many targets relevant to inflammation. Profiles of as few as 24 to 40 proteins (cytokines, chemokines, etc.), they reported, could discriminate most pathways and mechanisms affected by known modulators of inflammation and an array of other drugs and pathways.
Two ordinary dual-processor Dellservers handle all of the computationand database management necessaryto make sense of BioSeek's assays.Read more
CEO Peter Staple says BioSeek has more than 15 collaborations under its belt, including three with top 10 pharmas. After "working in garages on friends' and family money" for a couple of years, the company raised venture capital twice - once in early 2002 and again in 2003 - for a total of $14 million. Staple says he plans to cautiously seek more funding. The company's headcount remains a lean 14, with the research staff divided evenly between "biologists, assay people, and computational IT."
The low burn rate and doubling of revenue last year are propelling BioSeek rapidly towards a cash-neutral basis, says Staple. Like most young biotechs, BioSeek's revenue comes largely from fee-for-service work and R&D collaborations, but the company has internal drug development aspirations.
Says Staple: "I just want to emphasize we're really focused on compounds. We're not starting from looking at pathways and targets in the abstract. We're looking at, from a practical standpoint, the area pharma is most interested in, which is how to identify compounds that have the most chance of success because they have a greatβ activity."
Action MechanismsBioSeek's Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is also impressive, including, for example, Lee Hood, founder of the Institute for Systems Biology, and Judah Folkman of Harvard Medical School, a pioneer in anti-angiogenesis research. Berg says Folkman was "very helpful when we were first developing the assays, correlating what we found in vitro to in vivo." Butcher chairs the SAB.
Read on for Ellen Berg's view ofthe systems biology landscape.
Learning to work effectively with primary human cells was another difficult but necessary challenge, since cells cultivated for years in incubators have often lost important regulatory pathways, says Berg.
"The hard part is finally done," agrees Berg. BioSeek now has 15 high-throughput assays that cover a lot of the biology and many tissues and disease states. "The easy part now is the profiling, and we're running up to 100 compounds a week, in multiple systems, so you get an entire profile from your compound on a weekly basis."
Sometimes the assays turn up pleasant surprises. One client was using a pathway-based screen to select compounds for an inflammation therapeutic area, with a known inflammatory pathway. They'd gotten active hits but didn't understand the mechanism of action. BioSeek profiled the compounds through its core set of assays and blasted the profiles against its database.
"We discovered their compounds were not specific for that particular pathway, but appeared to be similar to a cancer compound, suggesting a cancer target. When we got back to them with the data, they were at first very skeptical because they were an inflammation group and, of course, they were looking for the inflammation targets," says Berg.
But the skepticism disappeared when the client's oncology group at a different location actually had the screens for this cancer target up and running and confirmed that the compound was active against that cancer target. "Once you do something like that for a partner, their eyes open, and they recognize the value of the kind of screening we do that assesses many targets across multiple therapeutic areas," says Berg.
