Jeffrey Friedman
, the executive director of
The Retreat
. "It's so amazing how generous people are."
This is King's first time donating to the auction. King's art spans over half a century, during which time he also served as the president of the
National Academy of Design
The opening price of King's sculpture for bid is $3,000.
Online bidding started a little over a week ago.
Sara Friedlander
, of Christie's Fine Art Auction House, will host the live auction at the gala. Other bidding items up for grabs include paintings, a dinner for six at
Ina Garten
's, also known as The
Barefoot Contessa
's, barn,

's "
Dancing With the Stars
" Finale.
This year's gala is centered around the 1960's. The Fabulous 60's Rock Show will be performing.
The Artists Against Abuse Gala brings local East End artists and artists from around the country to raise money for The Retreat, a shelter for victims of domestic violence who offers legal services, a crisis hotline, counseling, domestic violence prevention and a shelter.
Oksana Grigorieva
will also be speaking this year's gala.
"She's gonna be standing tall with us and speaking against domestic violence," Friedman said. "We're excited for her to be able to put a spotlight on work that we do."
The Artists Against Abuse Gala has risen over $2,000,000 in 18 years, allowing The Retreat to help more than 15,000 families.
"It takes a village to do the work that we do," Friedman said.

Accounting for Social Value
There are a number of ways of reporting Social Value both financial as well non-financial such as Social Return on Investment SROI), S/E Ratio and using narrative case studies. However, most reporting methodologies have been developed before The Social Value Act came into force and therefore fail to take into account the specific requirements of The Act. In some cases such as SROI the work required is extensive and as a result may be expensive.
In order to facilitate the reporting process and ensure consistency of reporting we have developed a streamlined methodology called Accounting for Social Value which allows you to develop a 3D Profit and Loss Account specifically aimed at meeting requirements of The Act and Public Sector procurement requirements. The Profit and Loss Account covers financial, social and environmental impacts – this is why it is called a 3D Profit and Loss Account!
The Accounting for Social Value Methodology follows a simple 7 step procedure and has been developed to help business to identify both their non-financial and financial social value
- We use a proven methodology for business mapping
- Reporting includes both financial and non-financial information
- We use financial proxies to identify financial benefits where possible
- 3D Profit and Loss Social Account to allow simple and comparable reporting
Of course there are many ways to measure and report Social Value. Key reasons for adopting this approach for measurement and evaluation are as follows
- It is simple and easy to follow
- It is cost effective
- It allows Public Authorities to compare competing submissions (i.e. apples with apples)
- It is outcome focussed and may be used to improve performance
- It is scalable
- It ensures that Business meets specific Public Authority needs
- It permits innovation and promotes the formation of Social Partnerships
In the notes below, we have laid out reporting methodology in more detail. We have also developed a detailed 'Worked Example' that describes how a social enterprise called CleanCo measures its social value for a cleaning contract with a local council. See here
In addition we have developed a number of worksheets that you may access through the portal although you will need to register first. A description about available Work Sheets may be found here
We also offer a bespoke consulting service network and would be happy to work with you to help you measure your social value and complete your Social Value Account. See 'Consulting Services' or contact us directly firstname.lastname@example.com
Ultimately and by following our Methodology you will be able to report your Social Value in a 3D Profit and Loss Account.
The aim is to identify in both financial and non-financial terms where a Business, Social enterprise or 3rd sector provider is meeting both Local and National needs.
- You will need to access The Community 360 Hub (A Geospatial Map) in order to download your target public sector objectives and their social value strategy (link)
- Where information is available we provide information in Excel format that you may down load
- We are working through all public sector bodies to identify and upload the information as quickly as possible. If your target organisation information is not available, please contact us directly and we will send it to you directly.
In order identify the benefits that you bring to your target public sector body you will need to map your Outcomes and Impacts for both your core business and any community projects for the areas where you work.
Key issues to consider:-
- Measuring what matters is fundamental in capturing your social contribution to society.
- The Social Impact Value Chain is central to impact analysis and will allow you to monitor, manage and improve delivery of social value
- Core inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impacts should be identified measured, monetised and valued across your services.
Non Philanthropy Capital – http://www.thinknpc.org/
Mapping Outcomes for Social Investment – http://www.thinknpc.org/publications/mapping-outcomes-for-social-investment/
Big Society Capital – Outcomes Matrix – http://www.bigsocietycapital.com/outcomes-matrix
In order to identify the areas where you presently add net value and areas where you could target for potential future value creation you will need to download our worksheet and map your outcomes against public sector targets and measures.
For instance your core business may involve employing young offenders in which case you will need fill in the number of young people being employed against the relevant public sector target and measures. Alternatively, your community CSR programme may involve reduction in household waste to landfill in which case you identify the tonnage saved.
As a part of your planning you should also identify both where you presently meet public sector targets as well as where you could have the potential to meet additional targets and KPIs. You may then decide to commit to these additional targets as a part of your tender submission.
For example, your core business may be managing waste services for a local authority, but if you make one of your recycling bag collection points a public library, then you could also (indirectly) contribute to increasing the use of libraries.
Remember that you will need to provide evidence that you have delivered (in the past) or intend to deliver these benefits. If you are preparing a bid, this may be in the form of a bid clause allowing the public sector body to cross reference your commitment.
You will need to sum the non-financial benefits from both your core business activities and community projects. Where the benefits accruing do not comprise a 'number', but rather a narrative, then insert an appropriate description.
There are a number of databases available to you to help place a financial value on your Outcomes or Impacts. Whilst these are not absolute they may be used to assess value in comparative terms.
In some cases the relevant data will not be available and you will need to insert 'proxies'. It is important that these financial proxies can be substantiated and are robust.
You can read more about financial proxies and learn more about useful social value databases here
The Global Value Exchange – http://www.globalvaluexchange.org/
Centre for Social Impact Bonds – http://data.gov.uk/sib_knowledge_box/toolkit
HACT Social Value Bank http://www.hact.org.uk/social-value-bank
Complete 3-D Profit and Loss Account showing both financial and non-financial measures
This is the final step of the analysis. You will need to transfer your financial and non-financial data into your 3D Profit and Loss Account. See example laid out below.
Note that your submission will need to be supported by the relevant evidence and references with respect to the financial proxies used
It is sensible, though not compulsory to get an independent verification of your submission.
We provide 2 levels of assurance
- Limited – we will check spread sheets and ensure that you have filled in the spreadsheets correctly. We will do a random sample check your data sources.
- Reasonable – As per Limited Assurance but we will carry out a detailed check of your data sources and ensure that evidence is in place to substantiate your claims if challenged.
For those organisations that need this service please contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com

5 CD set containing a quintet of albums from the groundbreaking British Art Rock band: Siren, Viva, Manifesto, Flesh + Blood and Heart Still Beating.
Album-rock artists like Roxy Music always make a difficult subject for comprehensive, multi-disc box sets. Frequently, their albums were designed as a cohesive whole and the idea of individual singles never really entered the picture at all. Roxy Music was slightly different than the average art/prog-rock band – not only did they make albums, they also made singles. And that is one of the reasons why the four-disc set The Thrill of It All is successful. Roxy's songs stand as individual works, and they make sense outside of their original context, even if they make more sense within their original context.
The Complete Studio Recordings 1972-1982, is the first complete Roxy Music box set to be released on CD. It includes each of the eight 'Roxy Music' Studio albums: Roxy Music, For Your Pleasure, Stranded, Country Life, Siren, Manifesto, Flesh And Blood and Avalon. Each of the studio albums have been taken back to their original form. New 2012 flat transfers from the original analogue master tapes ensure the audio sounds truer to its original LP sound. The box set is completed with two bonus discs of singles, B-sides and alternative mixes.
Flesh + Blood suggested that Roxy Music were at the end of the line, but they regrouped and recorded the lovely Avalon, one of their finest albums. Certainly, the lush, elegant soundscapes of Avalon are far removed from the edgy avant-pop of their early records, yet it represents another landmark in their career…
Like Bowie, Roxy Music delivered art-rock with a heavy dose of irony, a scarce commodity in the mid 70s. Bryan Ferry's lounge-lizard persona meshed with Brian Eno's pioneering electronics and Phil Manzanera's highly textured guitar work to create a decadent but humorous sound that influenced many '80s new wave bands on both sides of the Atlantic, from the Cars to Duran Duran.

This, quite simply, to use a word more polite than those uttered by frustrated passengers, is baloney. Yes, BA has screwed up. Yes, it failed to test the baggage-handling system. Yes, Willie Walsh, the airline's chief executive, has fronted the cameras and accepted responsibility. And yes, two of his senior executives were booted out yesterday.
But to say it's all down to BA is poppycock. It's an airline, not an airport operator. It doesn't run the staff car parks and security checkpoints which have caused major headaches. Design-wise, there aren't enough lifts; seats at departure gates are in short supply; there is too much corporate advertising and too little signage actually helping travellers and visitors; and transit passengers flying into T5 with onward connections from other Heathrow terminals must collect their bags and lug them to the other terminal and re-check them in. None of them is the fault of BA.
However, while we've seen plenty of Walsh, there has been virtually no sight nor sound of the BAA top brass. Sir Nigel Rudd, the airport operator's normally voluble chairman, has been singularly absent. Rudd has played the grandee role, leaving it to the chief executive. There is nothing wrong with that - apart from one interview, Martin Broughton, BA's chairman has also barely said a word, letting Walsh take the flak - except that BAA didn't have a chief executive in situ. Stephen Nelson, who delivered the building, had gone and in his place was coming Colin Matthews, the head of Severn Trent, the water supplier.
Nelson's departure had nothing to do with the chaos at T5. It was supposed to have been announced after the facility had opened, presumably to rave reviews. But the news of his quitting leaked out in February, which meant that by the time the complex was open for business and creaking - perhaps conveniently from a BAA standpoint - there was nobody to face the music. Still, all that has changed with the arrival of Matthews.
Except it hasn't - T5 remains a disaster, with BA forced to postpone the relocation of most of its long-haul services, and Matthews would not be interviewed for this article. "He's not the sort of guy who is seeking publicity or wants to grandstand," said a BAA source.
Well, yes, but surely there comes a point when someone has to stand up and be counted? All Matthews has said so far is that alongside BA, "jointly, we shoulder the responsibility for providing good passenger service, and therefore jointly we need to fix the issues".
There is talk of BA preparing to sue BAA. And as he sets forth to meet the Press once more, Walsh can be forgiven for looking right and left. Of Matthews on his shoulder he is unlikely to see any sign.
It's a pity BAA is behaving like this, and doubtless at some instance in the future, possibly even after reading this article, they may change their policy. What's surprising is that Matthews is no slouch at confronting issues. He was hired precisely because he has a reputation for troubleshooting. (It says much, though, for the poor state of BAA that he wasn't even appointed with a looming debacle at T5 in mind.)
Rudd, himself new to BAA, had played himself in, assessing for himself the condition of the Spanish-owned company. The chairman determined that what was required was not a marketing and retailing expert, Nelson, but someone rooted in the aviation industry, who was versed in day-to-day technical detail and also had experience of dealing with regulators. After an extremely discreet recruitment search, part of which saw Rudd quietly sound out his muckers at the top of British industry - in particular his pal Sir John Parker, the chairman of National Grid - as to who they rated, he alighted on Matthews.
By all accounts, Rudd, the canny old fox, has chosen well. "First and fore-most, Colin is an engineer. He likes to deal with operational issues in a very logical way," said a senior BAA colleague, adding: "His focus is very much operational. Since he joined, he's walked very inch of T5, front of house, back of house, up and down, inside and out. He needs to understand for himself why it is not working as it should be."
Behind the scenes, said the BA executive, "Colin, very explicitly from the start, accepted there are aspects of T5 that are our responsibility. He feels it's not to anyone's advantage we get involved in a blame game - he wants to put his effort into putting teams on the ground together so they can sort it out. He's put a lot of time and effort into forming a relationship with Willie Walsh because he recognises the pressure is on Willie and that BA needs to resolve the problems quickly".
He continued: "It would be entirely natural for us and BA to blame each other - for one to say, you're 60% to blame and we're 40% - but that hasn't happened. Of course, it helps considerably that Colin is the sort that is cool and logical under fire.
"He's a former technical director of BA who knows the company and knows the industry - and that also helps.
He's someone who keeps working methodically at an issue." Matthews, said the BAA insider, had adopted a quiet approach as the best way to turn it round. "A lot of people worked very hard to produce a building that is genuinely world-class. There's a lot of wounded pride around and Colin has to respond to that."
Some of the BAA staff are probably glad that their new man is a committed Christian - someone else might not be so forgiving. "Being a Christian is part of how I think of people doing the right things for the company," he once said. "In business, having a clear sense of Christian ethics is important."
The son of Sir Peter Matthews, a businessman and engineer of high renown who worked for British Steel and held numerous directorships, he was born in Canada (his father was erecting a steel plant there). He holds dual nationality and is fond of his connection with the country. As a student, he went back to work there, driving a garbage truck at Resolute Bay in the far north.
Like his father and past and current generations of Matthews, he went to Oundle, the public school near Peter-borough. From there he followed his father into engineering, studying at Cambridge. An apprenticeship at Lucas Girling, the Birmingham brakes manufacturer, followed. It wasn't a happy period until he went to Japan. There he learned the art of getting the best out of staff by being civil and courteous - something he has pursued ever since.
Even so, when he returned to the UK, to a factory in Wales, he was soon disheartened - the workers were very different from their super- keen Japanese counterparts. He went off to study for an MBA at Insead in France and, when he returned, joined Bain, the management consultancy.
He worked on Guinness's bid for Distillers then went to run General Electric's medical subsidiary in France. He met his French wife, Florence, there (they have three children, a house they use for skiing holidays in Savoie, where she was born, and their main home is in Richmond in south-west London, directly under the flight path).
Other posts followed: working for General Electric in Canada; part of Bob Ayling's inner team at BA (as technical director he advised that flights on Concorde after it crashed in Paris were safe to recommence, but they were ruled out on cost grounds); and Lattice, the gas pipeline company. When the latter merged with the bigger National Grid and he was denied the top slot, he was on his way again - to Hays, the logistics and recruitment group.
It was three businesses knocked into one and it was also in deep trouble. Matthews' solution was radical surgery, a result of which was to write himself out of a job. Another post beckoned, this time at Severn Trent. He found a company that was reeling from being accused of supplying false leakage figures to the Ofwat regulator.
The affair went against his principles and he instigated a major clearout. He also offloaded Biffa, the waste management arm, and decided, again, that he'd put himself out of a job (it was this belief in shrinkage and simplicity that so endeared him to Rudd, himself a demerger specialist, who may have to oversee the same at BAA as calls are made for its break-up).
Matthews was already going from Severn Trent when last summer's floods struck. Typically, he refused to castigate anyone, but said the company needed to "look hard and scientifically" at what measures were needed to get the water back to customers.
Now for water read flights and bags.

Dr Hull and staff are wonderful! They treated our dog with care and expertise. It was clear that they were concerned with the patients' well being. Our dog was in pain and unstable, and therefore could not stand upon the observation table. Dr Hull and Cassie spent the entire visit on the floor face to face with our dog. The control and demenor of the staff calmed our pup, inspite of her pain. Dr Hull is very honest, and provides the facts. The staff are perfectly accommodating and are friendly on the phone and in person. The office is clean and the waiting area is rather large, which is nice at a vet's office as it's easier to control and calm one's animal(s).

When we came in to schedule our spay appointment; she was once again kind and helpful. She provided us with educational insight, and more time than you would topically get from a vet. Our kitty is healthy, healing fine, and back to her normal self!

Sleepwalker, chapter I: the strangest dream
Disclaimer and notes: I do not (sigh) own Jin, Mariya Enshirou, Niwa Junnosuke, or any other character of Samurai Champloo, and I have no intent of trespassing on the copyrights of Manglobe and Simoigusa Champloos (c) 2004-05, to whom I owe so much. Many, many thanks and warm dedications to my nakama: Judy/Gecko, without whom nothing happens; and to my priceless beta-reader and collaborator Ariel the Tempest, without whom this would never have gotten past "passing thought" stage; by now she may know how important all that is.
Edited July 2009 to purge it of fangirl Japanese.
He was having the strangest dream.
Everyone else in the house was screaming.
That's how he knew it was a dream. He was at home, and home is safe. People don't scream there.
He heard running feet, and a cold voice shouting commands, something shattering…
If he just stayed asleep, it would pass by soon. He closed his eyes tightly, curled up in warm, tea-scented darkness.
The screaming faded away, the running feet departed. Everything was as it should be again, except the smell. A dark, heavy smell had crept into his dream, like iron in the sun, or rot.
More running feet, and voices…
Too late…knew the clan had enemies, but…the whole place reeks of blood..
(blood? That smell was blood? No--)
...anyone left alive?
Abruptly light broke in on his dark space, and someone scooped him up, wrenching him into reality. He fought with the fury of pure terror, and the startled young man set him down, said something…
"--easy, won't hurt you, boy. Did you see what happened? Did you recognize any of them?"
…what did he mean?…and who else did Jin hear talking? An unfamiliar voice--
He looked around, realized that they were standing in the kitchen, of all places. But he had been asleep in the main room, with everyone else--when--how had he--
Something itched his neck; he rubbed it unthinking and felt a small object, crisp and dry. It crunched in his fingers: a tea leaf.
Rubbing it slowly to powder between his fingers, not at all aware of it, Jin walked out into the central room, hearing the soldier's footsteps follow him. Strangers, armed men, but standing still, as at a loss for words. He stared at them fixedly, with a sudden, awful fear of looking at anything else in the room. The dark smell overpowered the delicate fragrance of the tea leaf. The young soldier behind Jin spoke.
"Their son, sir. Jin, if I remember. He must have heard them break in and hidden himself in the kitchen bins; they missed him in the confusion, I expect. I doubt he saw anything."
..yes, that was right; he remembered. He had been shocked awake by a sudden inexplicable terror, scrambled clear of the futon and darted for the kitchen; right on his heels the sudden commotion, the door crashed open, his father shouting; he had just dived into the tea basket as heavy feet pounded into the room--they must have missed seeing him by no more than a sun or two…he was lucky…
The captain shook his head. "Makes no sense. Killed even the servants but left without being certain they'd gotten the son and heir. Do they have a death wish?"
"There is a boy his age dead--" another soldier pointed--"There. A servant's child maybe. Probably mistook him for this one and thought their job done." He spat. "Bastards."
It didn't make any sense. Who were these people? Where was everyone else? Couldn't he just go back to sleep? Everything was so, so wrong--- and that smell, that made his spine tingle and his stomach feel knotted up and sick all at once…
The words began to fade into a blur again. What to do…whole family dead…Mariya-dono's dojo. He's kin to House Takeda, and has no son of his own…
The young guard captain who'd found him was trying to explain that he needed to collect his belongings and get ready to leave, there was a long journey ahead of him. In the middle of the night? But…
Then one of the men moved aside and Jin saw what was in his parents' bed.
They'd thought he'd been drugged when he arrived at the dojo; his pupils had dilated when he saw what was left of his family, and he stared fixedly into middle distance for the entire journey there. The first time they put a sword in his hand, however, he seemed to suddenly awake. It was recalled that his father had spoken of his natural talent with a blade, and there was general relief that Mariya-dono could take him in.
He was tended with kindness and sympathy, but largely left alone, because no one knew quite how to deal with him; they had taken in foundlings before, but never one like this. He was a handsome boy, and would have been most engaging if a child's natural enthusiasm ever lit up his face, but it never did. He was biddable and obedient, but disturbingly absent; he did precisely as told, gravely and silently. He showed no anger and did not cry. He heard and replied when spoken to, but met all eyes with a strangely adult, level, dark-grey gaze, perfectly calm, his eyes revealing nothing that lay behind them. When not bidden to do anything--in the free time the dojo's regimen permitted its students--he either remained in the boys' quarters, sitting motionless on his small futon, or practiced alone in the dojo with a startling, single-minded ferocity.
There was much quiet discussion, and some deep misgivings, but no real alternative, since the boy was Mariya-dono's kinsman, and had nowhere else to go. Only time and the grace of the Forgiving One could do for him what they could not. So, after ascertaining that he was not ill, and hadn't been drugged or poisoned by his family's killers, they left him to his own devices--not without some lingering unease. He was hardly like a child at all. He was like one found wandering in a mountain snowstorm, with the distant eyes of one kissed by Yuki-onna, the Snow Maiden, the giver of silent death.
The nightmare could never touch him while he was fighting, so he threw himself into it to the exclusion of all else. It grounded him, set his feet in the way of his oldest memories, when he had listened wide-eyed to his father's battle stories and slept with his wooden sword beside his bed. That was real. That was how he knew what a warrior would do. He would not hide and beg for pity; he would train and prepare himself, because there were enemies, they had shown themselves, and one day they would appear again. They had killed everyone around him, but now he was wary, and they would not kill him. He fixed himself on that thought, centered on it with all his strength. They would not, ever, get that chance.

13-16 July 2017, University of Warwick, UK
Colleagues from the Centre are collaborating in an exciting new cross-disciplinary research project led by the School of Geosciences at Edinburgh, which will be researching new ways to respond to earthquake and aftershock in crisis regions.
In partnership with Concern Worldwide, the University of Ulster, University of Plymouth, Leeds Beckett University and the British Geological Survey, we will be looking at how we might design educational interventions to help people make decisions before, during and after earthquake.
Our colleague and doctoral student James Lamb has written about the recent Digital Education walking seminar (led by James with Jeremy Knox): 'Wondering about the city: making meaning in Edinburgh's Old Town', which is accompanied below by Jen Ross's excellent playlist, 'Shuffling through the Old Town'. Do please read and listen alongside if you can:
Two events are taking place in early 2017.
We are appointing three Undergraduate Research Associates to work with us on a project looking at anonymous social media over this academic year. The three RAs will spend a total of 20 days each on the project, spread across specific weeks in October, December, January and May. They will be responsible for conducting a participant observation within Yik Yak and possibly other anonymous social media platforms, collecting data directly from these applications, coding it using specialist software, and writing four brief accounts of their findings.
The end-of-project findings from the AHRC-funded Artcasting research have been published.
A new collaboration between the Artcasting project team and the Edinburgh Art Festival.
We have received funding from the University of Edinburgh's Challenge Investment Fund to research Internet of Things (IoT) networks amongst campus-based and distanced students.
Members of the Centre have accepted a number of national and international speaking invitations for conferences and events in recent months - in destinations as far-flung as Stanford, Singapore, Sydney and Guadalajara. Closer to home we'll be speaking in Malta, Leeds, Milton Keynes, Spain and Croatia.

Research Resources for Faculty
External Research and Scholarship Opportunities
The Ohio State University Office of Research maintains a database of over 40,000 opportunities from more than 10,000 sponsors. This website also provides links to University-wide research policies and training opportunities.
Office of Research Database
The Arts and Sciences Research Office also maintains searchable Google spreadsheet of opportunities targeted towards ASC faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
ASC Spreadsheet of Research Funding Opportunities
ASC faculty are welcome to suggest additions to this list.
You may also view additional research/scholarship relevant guidelines (e.g. cost-sharing, F&A, course buyout) within Arts and Sciences (OSU Login Required).
Internal Research and Scholarship Opportunities
Note: Columbus campus faculty, resources are allocated by division. If in doubt as to which division your department is part of, consult your department chair. Regional campus faculty grant is at the bottom of the page.
Arts and Humanities
The Faculty Research and Creative Activity Support programs outlined below apply to all tenure-track faculty members on the Columbus campus in the departments and schools of the Division of Arts and Humanities. Some programs are also available to regional campus faculty in Arts and Humanities, where specified; regional campus faculty should also contact their Dean or Director for information about local support opportunities.
General Conditions
Associated faculty, lecturers, instructors, and others on term assignments, visiting faculty, and emeritus faculty will not ordinarily receive consideration for these awards. Arts and Humanities resources are available to continuing faculty only: faculty who announce their termination to begin employment at another institution, or who are notified of the nonrenewal of their appointments, are ineligible for these funds.
Small Grants Program
A new Small Grants Program replaces the old Grant-in-Aid program.
The Small Grants have a rolling deadline and are divided into four sub-categories:
- International Travel – up to $2,500
- Exhibition, Performance, and Studio Work – up to $1,500
- Manuscript Preparation – up to $1,500
- Publication Subvention – up to $2,000 (department matching funds required)
For questions, please contact Stephen Petrill at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Larger Grants Program
The Larger Grants Program funds individual and collaborative scholarship in the Arts and Humanities. The program supports tenure track faculty conducting research in the arts or humanities or creative activity. The Larger Grants have a single Autumn Semester deadline (October 24) and are divided into three sub-categories:
1. New Project Grants
- Individual faculty grants – up to $10,000
- Collaborative faculty grants – up to $20,000
2. Completion Grants
- Individual faculty grants – up to $7,500
3. Conference Support Grants
- Faculty grants – up to $20,000
For questions, please contact Valarie Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com
External Grant Preparation Support
Arts and Humanities faculty have available to them several resources to support the search for external funding for research and creative activity. These resources include:
- Finding Funding. For general information about an array of grant services available, consult the "Finding Funding" section of the Office of Sponsored Programs website. The manager of that site is Jeff Agnoli, Officer for Funding and Research Development (firstname.lastname@example.com), who will be able to assist you with a targeted search for available grant opportunities.
- Grant Writing and Management. For general information and advice about professional development planning, and to develop proposals for grants and sponsored programs, contact Stephen Petrill, Associate Dean for Faculty and Research (email@example.com).
- Grant Submission. For information about federally supported programs and other sponsored research, including the preparation of grants for submission to external organizations, contact Christine Hamble at the Office of Sponsored Programs (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please ensure that the Office of Sponsored Programs is notified of all pending applications for funding from sponsored programs well before the application deadline.
External Fellowship Subsidies
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Contact: Janet Box-Steffensmeier, Dean (email@example.com)
The division reserves funds each year to use in supporting faculty research. SBS currently operates three programs: Small Grants, International Travel Grants, and Special Grants. These are described briefly below. All materials must be submitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The purpose of all of these grants is to promote research. All applications require a letter to the division indicating the purpose of the request. All applications must be accompanied by a statement from the applicant's chair or director indicating approval of the request. An important goal for the division is to increase external funding of research activities. Thus, letters of application are most useful when they request funds that will:
- supplement external funds, e.g., at the end of a grant;
- provide pilot data or preliminary work for preparing a grant application;
- allow you to present findings at an international conference where the work is related to funded research; or
- fund some item of equipment used in a stream of funded research.
The division will continue to support research that does not show obvious prospect of garnering external funds, although such support cannot be our highest priority.
These programs are limited to faculty on the main Columbus campus. Colleagues from regional campuses can apply to the College of the Arts and Sciences Regional Faculty Grant Program for funds to support their research.
Small Grants
The Small Grant program allows applicants to request up to $4000 for research-related purposes. There is no limit on how often a faculty member may apply, but these funds are intended to benefit many faculty members, and thus repeated applications by a single faculty member may be discouraged. Items that can be purchased with these funds include (but are not limited to) equipment and software clearly related to a stream of research, payment for research participants, hourly support for graduate students or other research personnel, purchase of data sets, etc. Your award letter will indicate that you have up to twelve months to spend your funds. We have stopped approving these grants for amounts less than $1000 in order to reduce administrative costs; researchers with specific needs for smaller amounts can request funds to extend their research agenda so as to bring the sum to at least $1,000 (but no more than $4,000).
As mentioned above, a letter describing the purpose of the request and how the funds will be used, as well as a statement of approval from the applicant's chair or director, are required.
International Travel Grants
International Travel Grants are intended to provide support for faculty researchers who are presenting findings at an international meeting (except for those meeting on the North American continent). For this program, up to $2000 may be requested from the Division with a required match from the applicant's department of at least 1/4 of that amount.
To apply for these funds, applicants must supply a letter requesting the funds, some documentation of the paper to be presented (e.g., page from the meeting program listing the presentation, letter of invitation from the session or meeting organizer), and a statement from the department chair or director approving the request and certifying the departmental matching funds.
Special Grants
The division continues to administer a program of Special Grants to address a variety of research needs that exceed the $2000 Small Grant limit. For this program, a 1/3 match from a departmental account is required. Special Grants may be requested to help fund such things as international travel for the purpose of data collection (as opposed to attending a conference), cost-sharing in submitting a proposal for external funding, purchase of equipment to be shared among a group of researchers, etc. The department and Division must agree that the need is significant enough to justify the level of investment required.
To apply for these funds, a description of the research to be performed, proposal to be submitted, or equipment to be purchased must be provided to the Division. In addition, a statement of endorsement from the chair or director that certifies the departmental 1/3 match is required.
Regional Campus Faculty Research/Creative Activity
Funds intended to support research and creative activities of tenure-track faculty on regional campuses. Activities may include travel for research and research-related conferences, but may not be used to support activities related to teaching and service.
Applications for the autumn competition are due Wednesday, November 23, 2016 for projects beginning January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017. Applications for the spring competition are due Monday, April 3, 2017 for projects beginning July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The maximum amount they can ask for is $2,000 per year.
Before beginning your online application, please have the following ready to be uploaded to the application.
- Proposal with detailed research/creative activity plan (maximum of three pages)
- Detailed budget for items requested in the grant, including any relevant documentation
- Short CV (maximum of three pages)
Note: If special protocols (e.g., human subjects, animal use, etc.) are involved in your proposal, you will need to indicate that you have secured, or plan to secure approval for your project from the appropriate institutional board.
For questions, contact Stephen Petrill, Associate Dean for Research at firstname.lastname@example.com

Michelle wrote a much better description of our adventures on Saturday, so I thought I would re-post her email to the Foodmakers group:
"Hi everyone,
... (deleted some personal hellos & info...)
The evening began with a slide show on identifying 13 easy-to-find
local wild plants and was followed by a long ramble through Cromwell
Valley CSA's organic fields. We tasted and gathered all kinds of
delicious plants, including spring cress, wild mustard greens, clover,
dandelion, chicory, chick weed and garlic mustard and collectively
foraged a salad which we ate as part of the pot luck dinner
afterward. Some of the bravest group members volunteered to get stung
by stinging nettles, and then eased the burn with a plantain poultice.
After washing the greens we enjoyed pot luck & conversation outdoors.
Besides collectively foraged salad there was green tomato compote,
blue corn bread, a vegetable potage and several other terrific
dishes. Conversation ranged from kombucha making to medicinal plants
to yogurt with many many other fascinating side conversations taking
After dinner seven people stayed to do an impromptu morel mushroom
hunt in the park, and in about an hour we were able to find enough
mushrooms for everyone to take home about five or six each. It took a
little while to get our mushroom-finding eyes on, but once we got
started everyone was able to spot at least a few of the elusive morels
plus jack in the pulpits and fiddlehead ferns.
Brian took some photos of our morel haul, which he's promised to post,
and I promise to figure out how to post the powerpoint weed
identification slide show here on the site ASAP."

Our scary day
From yesterday's post, Annabelle had a not-stellar day yesterday, and I was a wee bit worried. But I put her to sleep last night, and her SATs came right back up. I left the O2 monitor on her for a few hours, but about 1, I turned it off because when she would kick, it would stop picking up well and beep REALLY loud.
I got up with her a few times after that with her tossing and turning.
About 5 a.m., she started to fuss pretty bad, but she fell back asleep. At 5:30, she started crying really bad, so I got up, vented her Gtube in case she had gas pains, gave her morning meds, and picked her up and went and rocked her.
That lasted about 1 minute. She just looked weird to me, her cry was now to the point of terror, and I couldn't console her at all. I put her on the O2 monitor, and her SAt's were 40!
We debated for a few minutes just putting her in the car and driving up here to Vanderbilt, and I tried to up her oxygen to get her stabilized, but it was still staying high 40's. She started gasping for breath and her eyes were glazed over and it was just REALLY horrible to see. We called 911, ambulance came, and we started the trip to Nashville. After a few minutes though, they changed their minds and decided to go to the nearest hospital (still 15 minutes away) and life flight her to Vandy because her heart rate was dipping and they had to do CPR a few times to get it back up.
When we met the helicopter, they intubated her in the ambulance and I flew with her to Vandy Children's.
Since we got here, she's been stable. She still has dropped her SATs some though, so we aren't weaning the vent at this time.
We have no clear idea what is wrong and why she had this issue.
It took a long time to get access in her (for blood draws and IV meds), they finally did a central line (took an hour and a half!) and got labs early afternoon.
But for the most part, all of her labs were fine. Her electrolytes were all normal. Her initial blood gas when we got here was awful, but a repeat one this afternoon was normal.
Her BNP was WAY high though... 2200. We are unsure if this is because of the extra fluid she has on board, from the CPR and subsequent trauma her heart went through, or if this is a sign of true heart failure. A repeat one later, and look at a "trend" will help us better guage this.
Her chest Xray was VERY wet, so that is not good either.
Her other issue is her belly. It was VERY distended when we got here, and we did a belly xray and a CT scan of her belly, and it shows a LOT of air in her intestines. This, however, just needs to come out through "normal" means.
There is a little concern that she has some air in a place where it is NOT normal to be, so general surgery is going to come and consult just to get another set of eyes and opinion on that.
But in all, there is no clear reason for her issues this morning. A lot of signs and symptoms, but it is hard to know what is a RESULT of this morning and what is a CAUSE of this morning's issue.
Oh, and we still have viral panels out and some other tests that will test for a virus to see if she just had a bug. To that I say.... Um... PLEASE tell me we won't have to do CPR every time she gets a little bug!
In the back of all of our minds is still the "rejection" word, but her echo didn't look "bad" so we aren't jumping on that just yet, but keeping a close eye out.
We are... tired. Frustrated. Feeling a little defeated. Sad. Overwhelmed. But thankful to be in a place where they can care for her. Being home with her so sick was the scariest thing I've ever experienced!
It is SO frustrating to not know what is wrong and how to fix it. I think that is the worst today. She'd been doing so well.... although I'm still cogniscent of the fact that we were in the hospital a day last week for fluid issues.... I just am afraid we are "missing" something in all of this. I don't know.
God DOES know though, and as we have this whole past year, we place our Annabelle in his capable hands. It's been one scary, crazy day though.
Your continued prayers for Annabelle, the doctors, and our family are so very appreciated!
Will update when we know more.
Oh, and THANK YOU THANK YOU for all your support today. Your comments/tweets/messages have really helped me today. It is so comforting to know so many people are praying, and reading them gets my mind off scary things. So... thank you!

Lord, please be with Annabelle and her family right now. Especially her mama...Lift her up on your big Daddy back and carry her through this new test. God, the scariest thing is just not knowing, but I pray you would give Krista supernatural peace in this very moment. And fill the doctors with wisdom to get to the bottom of these questions. We thank you for the promises in your Word. May they strengthen and comfort those who need them tonight. Amen.

Dear, sweet Jesus,
Please be with Annabelle and Cheri and the whole family as they work through this latest development with the precious cherub You've graced us all with. Guide the doctors and nurses. Breathe Your peace into the hearts of Annabelle's family and her caregivers, even as you breathe the breath of life into Annabelle. In Jesus name I pray,

We thank You for your continuing - your eternal - goodness. We continue to ask You to give Annabelle good health. We are persistent, and we are shamelessly bold - because You taught us to pray this way (Luke 11). Give the doctors wisdom and skill.
We also ask that You continue to comfort and surround Scott and Krista. We thank You for giving "good gifts" to Your children.
In Jesus' wonderful name,
- July 23, 2011 at 8:15 PM
Will continue praying for all of you. I cannot imagine how scary this must be for you all. Take comfort in the knowledge that you have a host of angels surrounding you all. On a side note, how is your foot?

Krista- Reading that brought back so many flashbacks for me. Holding Joshua when he coded multiple times. It is the scariest thing to watch and feel so completely helpless.
Shane and I have been praying for you guys all day. We will continue to pray until things get figured out.
Know that you are loved and that Annabelle is surrounded with love and prayer.

Hopefully you can find the underlying issues soon, have they done a cath recently? A fellow heart friend at Seattle Children's had relatively similar issues, and they went in on a cath, and found an extra vein, banded it and he was out of the CICU in about a day.
I'm not a doctor of course, but my instinct as a parent in the face of unexplained issues like you're having with Annabelle is to push for more tests. Sometimes it's a fight just to get a BNP level, and a cath isn't easy to get... but if they don't see anything else and things aren't getting better... At the same time though, don't assume that a test will give you the answers that you need, as it's just as likely that they will leave you with more questions than they answer.
Stay strong, we will be praying for Annabelle and against rejection, and that they can find and treat what the issue is quickly. It's hard going back to the hospital over and over, but there's no better place to be right now.

Wow. So many ups and downs for poor Annabelle! Praying for answers and hoping for the best!

I am the mom of a 4-month-old boy with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and your beautiful little girl. We, too, have been through some complications that led to our Sam getting his Glenn early (he got a central line infection and had a subsequent stroke), and if you find any comfort reading the blogs of other moms of HLHS babies, our site is www.ourlittlewolfie.blogspot.com.

A disciple of Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, and Jack White, the Philadelphia-born, Los Angeles-based Mohawk-ed and tattooed troubadour Mondo Cozmo was born. Think….Dylan fronting Oasis with Beck making the beats. Mondo Cozmo has the attitude of the Manchester bands of the 90s… working class, honest, inspirational, cautiously hopeful, and socially observational. It is a bold statement demanding attention: future festival headliner who will have the crowd singing along to every word while the sun is setting and challenging everything you know about music in the process.

Many employers are having trouble finding strong candidates for jobs vacated by retiring baby boomers. The jobs require, on average, more than seven years of experience, and some employers can't fathom replacing an employee who may have 20-plus years of experience in the field with someone who has only five. If your financial-career goals include a big paycheck and the prestige of working for a high-profile Wall Street firm, then you'll need to learn how to meet employers' expectations.
The positions that some financial recruiters have identified as the hardest and most competitive to fill include controllers (including hedge fund controllers), tax managers, fund and senior-level accountants and valuation analysts. Let's explore the responsibilities of each of these positions as well as what employers are looking for in potential candidates for these roles.
1. Controllers
Controllers keep the company's financial planning, debt financing and budget management organized. They set financial rules, including choosing accounting methods and making sure that generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are followed. Controllers work for banks, corporations and governments. They motivate their teams from time to time and make sure they produce quality work within set time periods.
A controller's education requires a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a concentration in finance or accounting. It also requires a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation. Further, most employers like controller job candidates to have five to 10 years of experience in senior-level finance or accounting positions.
One specialized type of controller is the hedge fund controller. This position is difficult to attain, according to some recruiters, because it requires eight to 10 years of experience working with larger funds. Additionally, the job seeker must have exposure working in distressed debt.

Hi everyone,
It' s a good morning for goo foffing. I think I'll have another cup of coffee.
It' s a good morning for goo foffing. I think I'll have another cup of coffee.
I haven't named it yet. Any thoughts?
Today begins an official period of some pretty serious goo foffing. (For the uninitiated, that's how you spell it around here.) The turtles started begging last week. I have no idea who snitched but at Goose Lake there are few secrets.
We had a talk and I believe they understood. I'm going to keep an eye on them though.
I will remain in touch but it's possible I won't entertain a meritorious thought over the course of the coming days. You, on the other hand, may be miming applause for the break in the routine, and I don't hold that against you. You are at all times thoughtful, sweet, responsive, and supportive. What an opportunity for you to turn to other pursuits for a while and take for granted that I'm around sand, books, and refreshments, though not necessarily in that order.
P.S. The turtles took it rather too quietly. I have an uneasy feeling . . .
ANNOUNCEMENT: I've decided to leave this one going a second day. I know we haven't heard from everyone with something to talk about.
Many of you are seasoned, well published poets and authors. Some have yet to make that first breakthrough, and others are somewhere between. I like the idea that followers and participants of this blog represent a wide range of writing experience. We're a little like those old one room schoolhouses where older students helped teach younger ones.
Wherever you happen to be on the learning curve, today seems like a good day to share your thoughts, aspirations, accomplishments, and questions. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
P.S. Here's the Brad Sneed illustration for Sneed Collard's book. I couldn't figure out how to get it into Sneed's comment. Sorry.

Here are mother-of-pearl and ivory (I think) side by side. MOP is hard to mistake with the silvery grey flashes under the surface. But the ivory might be bone. There are ways to tell, but like you I'm reluctant to do the hot needle test.
I am also a bit concerned now that there is the possibility that I have just imported something naughty. Although the manufacture of this pen pre-dates the CITES treaties, so I should be okay.
That hadn't occurred to me, but yes, I guess there could be some legal implications to importing ivory. The general rule seems to be that if the object is antique (>100 years old) it's legal.

This organization is doing a terrific job of raising the visibility of closing the gender gap in the computing profession. Their publicity launch last summer touted articles by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Time and many more, plus financial support from Google, E-Bay, General Electric and Twitter.
this excellent article. The goal is to teach 1 million girls to code by 2020.
The pilot program was an 8 week summer course for 20 high school girls in New York. Two months later, these girls presented their work in a gala celebration at the New York Stock Exchange.
Another article by Bianca Bosker in the Huffington Post features the gala itself and also links to a video of Simon Constable from the Wall Street Journal interviewing Reshma Saujani, the Founder of Girls Who Code. Here are some highlights of the interview, which is worth listening to in full:
Wall Street Journal: How to get more women into computing and engineering?Reshma Saujani: Even though women are 56% of all college graduates, only 1 out of 7 engineers are women... 74% of young girls say they are interested in STEM, but then they're not opting to go into STEM careers... Girls want to change the world. They're passionate about their communities. So part of what we are doing at Girls Who Code is bringing in hundreds of speakers who say that technology can be used to solve blindness, technology can be used to solve poverty, technology has so many different aspects in making your community better...
We had a really interesting week last week. We asked the girls to design a product, and all the girls decided to design a mobile app. And all the applications that they came up with … one was how to find a protest in my neighborhood, how to find a family-friendly place for my dog, how to get the fastest route to class – and not one game, even though 60-70% of all mobile apps are games. They think about the world differently.
WSJ: Do those apps have the same appeal to the general population? Because you have to get people to use the apps as well.RS: Absolutely. Well guess what? 85% of all consumer purchasers are women.WSJ: Okay. .. So what else happens in class? Is that coding or what?RS: We're teaching the fundamentals of engineering. We taught them Scratch, robotics, how to have a conversation with an engineer and articulate your business plan, how to build a web application, how to build a mobile app. We're going to have a competition at the end of the summer.WSJ: What else do you have planned for this? I mean a course which is 8 weeks is great, but then you go back . . .RS: It's not a summer course; it's a movement. It's a movement to get girls all around the country to raise their hand and say "teach me how to code." It's to change this perception that coding is not for them, and it's to have a different conversation about education in our country. I believe that computer science should be mandatory not only in high schools but in middle schools. I mean, what I learned, what you learned, what your father learned has not even changed, even though the world has changed so much. Part of Girls Who Code is to have that conversation --- that technology plays a role in all our lives, that every kid, regardless of if they want to be a doctor or a politician needs to learn it.
Girls Who Code plans to expand to another 6 to 8 cities across the country in 2013. Kudos and all the best to Girls Who Code in the future.
P.S. Here's an excellent short video featuring Reshma Saujani (Founder of Girls Who Code) with great talking points for why teaching girls to code is critically important, right now. Well worth watching -- maybe even memorizing. (Added 12-9-2012)

Good price and they work. What else can you really say about a DVD?Read More
I am a 65 year old grandmother who just happened to stumble upon this TV series. I sometimes watch something out of curiosity. I was happily surprised to find that this series sets forth what I imagine is a pretty clear picture of what life is like from many sides of the coin. I was particularly happy that it kept my interest WITHOUT the need to use fowl language. This series proves that you don't need bad language to hold the attention of an audience. The story keeps me wanting to see the next episode. By the way, I noticed on the credits that Kevin Corcoran is listed as a unit manager and wonder if this is the same Kevin Corcoran who played the little boy in Ol' Yeller. Anyone have an answer?Read More

Is there something about the word, "despicable" that gets to you, Etixos?
As of recent you have returned and sharpened your focus only on those of us who champion pro-life. Is the timing in harmony with the campaign of the pro death gang like the Obamacidal Maniac? Even since you appeared on scene in February, your posting has been consistent in vitriol towards us. We gave the benefit of doubt that just maybe you have a conservative core hidden somewhere. But nope, it always comes back to the same thing, a nibbling away at pro-life values, with attempts to soften the bites with smooth words and even a sound of friendliness.
I find the timing says a whole lot. At the moment, we defend against the greatest threat to the sanctity of life our country may ever have faced, and yet you offer them aid and comfort.
You are on the wrong forum, troll.
Etixos seems to have gotten a well-deserved ZOT!
If there are any suggestions, complaints or threads to ping, please let me know.
We will try our best to follow 8mm's fine example, but thanks in advance for your patience.
