Florida to Review Stand Your Ground
Not good. They are caving to the Rev Jesse and his supporters. Should have just said no.
This is the Huffington Post and they are happy! I don't think many in the state will be if they change anything.
Exactly Doc, Z was self defense, not SYG. These people are beyond stupid. SYG favors the victim, not the criminal. Why would any LAC want to give criminals more power.
I've got news for all those Dream Dummies: Even if SYG is repealed, no LACs are going to retreat, they will simply be sued into poverty by the criminals family. Bad guys are still going to die if they attack an armed Floridian just like now.
Yep, the weak-kneed leadership of the FL legislature caved in to the damands of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Excuse the He!! out of me, standing your ground is a basic human right. Who wouldn't leave if they could, but a lot of people cannot. Either due to age, circumstances or other reasons.
Ah, hey, this is preaching to the choir. Lets get those letters out.
It was done to get the morons out of the state capitol.
Those Dream Dummies were tresspassing. They also protested for hours on the Capitol steps the night of the verdict without a permit. They broke all sorts of laws and cost us Floridians over $200K.
IMO their ability to act out like this with NO consequences sends a strong message to white people in Florida. Apparently you have to be white to be held accountable for your behavior.
As far as the article, what did anyone expect? A special-interest group that all white politicians are scared to death to stand against screams at the top of their lungs and keeps screaming with no one opposing them or telling them to shut up. So the politicians do the only thing they can do -send it to committee for rereview. This will tie it up for months or years and the public will either forget or not care when the committee tells them what we already know.
The best thing we can do, even those of us outside of Florida, is write to Florida Representatives and tell them how damaging their giving into this racist terrorism will be to their state, and in principal, to every other state that has established SYG laws. There is no crime in NOT retreating from a criminal, no matter what his skin color happens to be.
I will be writing letters and sending emails.These friggen morons blaming our "Castle Doctrine" have niether taken the time to read exactly how the law reads and nor do they care.

Magicians, jugglers, storytellers are hired by Mariah Carey and her husband to entertain the Colorado children at the Aspen Recreation Center.
Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon have been in Aspen for a few days. Beside enjoying a vacation, they also spare their time to give back to the community. On Monday afternoon, December 21, the couple held a holiday party for 35 Colorado underprivileged children at a rented Aspen Recreation Center.
At the amusement spot, the kids who are between the ages of 9 and 12 enjoyed wall climbing, swimming and ice-skating. They were also treated with performances from magicians, jugglers as well as storytellers and got a visit from bearded Santa Claus who arrived on a sleigh pulled by reindeer with Mariah and Nick by his side.
"It was all about the kids. Many of these kids haven't been out of Denver. A lot of them haven't been in the mountains," Jude Liguori-Oliver, child protective services administrator for the City and County of Denver, told The Aspen Times. On the children's reaction when Mariah and Nick brought the Santa, Jude stated, "As soon as she got off the sleigh, they started screaming, 'Mariah! Mariah! Mariah!' "
A keepsake for the children moreover, Mariah hired professional photographer to take a picture of each child with her, Nick and the Santa. Also, it is believed that the singer played the kids holiday films on the bus during their way back to Denver.
Mariah Carey is a regular visitor of Aspen around the holidays. According to The Aspen Times, this is not the first time she threw party for the underprivileged kids as she has been hosting such events for about 10 years.

Tummy Tuck and Hospital
Regarding where to do the surgery, you have a few options. If your medical health is good, a surgery center is actually a very good choice. All surgery centers must meet strict safety criteria to become certified and they are all required to have an agreement with a local hospital for timely transfer of any patient who develops an immediate post-op problem requiring acute hospital care. So, for the vast majority of patients, the level of care provided by a surgery center is really all that is needed. And many surgery centers offer an overnight stay option. Finally, for a self-pay patient, the cost of a procedure will be substantially less at a surgery center compared to a hospital.
Hospitals are typically used for this type of procedure when a patient is at higher risk for surgery due to medical problems. But one has to ask, if the risk is that high, should you really even be considering a procedure that is purely elective? So, if you are a high risk patient, and are willing to accept that risk, a hospital is the best place to go. Finally, even if you are a low risk patient, but would feel more comfortable at a hospital, you could certainly have your procedure done there. No surgeon I know would deny that request. You just have to be willing to accept the extra cost.
Best of luck in your quest for a new tummy.

Ambulatory Surgery for Tummy Tucks
Many surgeons do procedures in ambulatory surgical centers, office base surgical suites and hospitals. I determine the location based on the patient's medical history. Some patients are not candidates for office based surgical suites or ambulatory surgical centers. Office base surgical suites should be certified by one of the certifying entities. If you prefer an overnight stay, discuss this with your surgeon. There should be plastic surgeons in your area that use hospitals. You can look on the ASPS website for plastic surgeons' names.

A knol on knee surgery
|Type of site
|Created by
|July 23, 2008
|Current status
Knol was a Google project that aimed to include user-written articles on a range of topics. Lower-case, the term knol, which Google defined as a "unit of knowledge",[1] referred to an article in the project.
The project was led by Udi Manber, a Google vice president of engineering.[2] It was announced on December 13, 2007, and was opened in beta version on July 23, 2008,[3] with a few hundred articles, mostly in the health and medical field.[2][4] The project was closed on April 30, 2012, and all content was deleted by October 1, 2012.[5]
Any contributors could create (and own) new Knol articles, and there could be multiple articles on the same topic, each written by a different author.[6][7]
Authors could also choose to include ads from Google's AdSense to their pages. This profit-sharing was criticized as incentivizing self-promotion or spam.[8][9][10]
All contributors to the Knol project had to sign in with a Google account and were supposed to state their real names.[2] Contributions were licensed by default under the Creative Commons CC-BY-3.0 license (which allowed anyone to reuse the material as long as the original author was named), but authors were also able to choose the CC-BY-NC-3.0 license (which prohibits commercial reuse) or traditional copyright protection instead.[2][11] Knol employed "nofollow" outgoing links, using an HTML directive to prevent links in its articles from influencing search-engine rankings.[12]
Knol was described both as a rival to encyclopedia sites such as Wikipedia, Citizendium, and Scholarpedia[13][14] and as a complement to Wikipedia, offering a different format that addressed many of Wikipedia's shortcomings.[15][16][17] BBC News reported that "Many experts saw the initiative as an attack on the widely used Wikipedia communal encyclopaedia.[18] The non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which owned the name Wikipedia and the servers hosting the Wikipedia projects, welcomed the Google Knol initiative, saying that "The more good free content, the better for the world."[19] While Wikipedia articles were written collectively under a "neutral point of view" policy,[20] Knol was to highlight personal expertise by emphasizing authorship.[7]
After Knol's beta launch, Google product manager Cedric Dupont responded to the idea that Google intended Knol to be a "Wikipedia killer" by saying, "Google is very happy with Wikipedia being so successful. Anyone who tries to kill them would hurt us."[4] The New York Times noted similarities in design between Knol and Wikipedia, such as use of the same font.[4] Dupont responded that the use was simply a coincidence as it is a commonly used font.[4]
Because of Knol's format, some said Knol would be more like About.com than Wikipedia.[14] According to Wolfgang Hansson, a writer at DailyTech, Knol may have been planned for About.com originally when it was up for acquisition. Hansson reported that several sources close to the sale said Google was planning to acquire About.com, but the executives at About.com learned Google was planning to move from About.com's model to a wiki-style model. That would have meant layoffs for all 500 or so "Guides" at About.com.[21]
Conflict of interestEdit
After Google's announcement of the project in December 2007, there was speculation on its motives and its position as a producer of content rather than as an organizer. The Guardian's Jack Schofield argued that "Knol represents an attack on the media industry in general."[22]
There was debate whether Google search results could remain neutral because of possible conflict of interest.[23][24] According to Danny Sullivan, the editor of Search Engine Land, "Google's goal of making Knol pages easy to find on search engines could conflict with its need to remain unbiased."[24] Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, raised similar concerns: "At the end of the day, there's a fundamental conflict between the business Google is in and its social goals. What you're seeing here, slowly, is Google embracing an advertising-driven model, in which money will have a greater impact on what people have ready access to."[25] As a response to such concerns it was said[17][23] that Google already hosted large amounts of content in sites like Google Sites, YouTube, Blogger and Google Groups and that there is no significant difference in this case.[26]

C-store industry Hall of Famer oversaw Wawa's late '70s, '80s prosperity.
Dick Wood, a member of the family who founded Wawa Inc., was inducted into Convenience Store News' Convenience Store Industry Hall of Fame in 1996.
After graduating from law school in 1964, Wood clerked for a federal judge and later worked for a large law firm, dealing with the Securities Exchange Commission and working on mergers and acquisitions. At age 32, in June 1970, he was approached by Grahame Wood, Wawa's founder and Dick Wood's father's second cousin, to work for the c-store operator.
"His son and nephew already worked for the company," Wood recalled, "and I said I'd come if he told them he asked me to work for him. I wanted it to be clear I wasn't looking for a job."
Wood did Wawa's legal work for seven years, eventually taking on CFO, IT and other responsibilities. He became president in 1977. Since then, Wawa's stock value has seen a compounded annual growth rate of 17.6 percent per year.
Share with us one of your early c-store memories.
In 1974, the NACS convention was in Hawaii. It was the first one I went to, and I was put on the board! They expanded the board, adding five or six people: myself, Kerley LaBoeuf, Pete Van Horn, George Miller and others. I went to the board meeting and there was a blow up over John Roscoe, who had been in line to be president of NACS. The nominating committee voted four to one not to let him serve. Their objection was he was controversial, because he said negative things about vendors. The next person in line was Bill Brown, a friend of John Roscoe's, who decided if NACS wasn't letting Roscoe serve, he wasn't going to serve either. I went to my first board meeting and there was all this controversy.
So, George Frazier, president of Fast Fare, the third in line, ended up being president. The next year, Bill Brown served as president.
With a background in law, why did you make a permanent career switch into retailing?
First, I felt an obligation to my family. Today, 50 percent of the company is owned by a trust that my great grandfather set up in 1922. There are 150 family members who are beneficiaries of the trust. Another 10 percent is owned outright by descendants of my great grandfather. An ESOP of 8,000-plus people owns another 29 percent. The rest is owned by management who had gotten stock options, retired management or their children.
It's a wonderful ownership structure to grow a business on. The family members and associates take a great deal of pride of being a part of Wawa and it helps drive the culture of the company.
We are intensely focused on staying private. Public companies are only worried about the next quarter. We are paying attention to operations and making long-term decisions.
What are some remarkable things you've seen in the industry?
Around 1980, we went through a strategic planning session and changed the whole makeup of the National Association of Convenience Stores. Soon after, we brought in Kerley LaBoeuf and formed The Hunter Club, named after Harry Hunter, NACS' original executive director, who served more than 20 years. Before that, we were constantly soliciting vendors to pay for all of our events. People paid a fee to join the Hunter Club and then NACS used that money to pay for events.
We also started driving government relations and moved to having a trade show every year, which was a big financial boon to NACS as an organization. When Kerley became president of NACS, NACS had a net worth of $19,000. Now, I'm sure it is in the millions.
Can you share a funny memory with us?
When Pete Van Horn was finishing up his year as chairman in 1982-83, he did a roast of all the past chairmen. It was hilarious. He called Sam Jacobsen "General Patton."
How has the industry most changed over the years?
In the early 1980s, 7-Eleven was already a huge sponsor of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and asked NACS to become the sponsor of the telethon. I was given the job of coming up with a way for NACS to raise money for the telethon. I set up a system whereby chains would compete in raising funds based on a per-store basis. Jerry Lewis would pay a visit to the headquarters of whichever chain raised the most money per store. We were really successful raising money that year. Then after a couple years it broke up, because Jerry Lewis liked 7-Eleven and didn't want to be talking with the rest of the industry.
But the industry learned how to become close to the local communities and raise money for charitable causes. The industry grew a heart.
What has had the biggest impact on the industry in the last 40 years?
Gasoline. The late '60s was the first time states permitted self-service gasoline. But it became evident in the '70s that if we got into the gasoline business, the majors would get into the c-store business. Until then, gas stations made money on tires, batteries, accessories and repairs. Cars started not needing repairs as often or you took it to your dealer for repairs. They were driven into the c-store business.
On the other side, the c-store industry did a poor job of getting into gasoline, because it wasn't until Dick Jensen at SuperAmerica figured out how to be a high-volume retailer, and then Chester Cadieux (founder of QuikTrip Corp.) copied that and we copied Chester, did gasoline really take off.
We opened our first major, high-volume presentation gas station in 1996 and it reinvented our company. Until then, we did gasoline in a pathetic way and temporarily got out of the gas business in 1982.
What has disappeared from the industry you'd like to see return?
Back in the late '70s or early '80s, when the group of us were moving through the chairs of NACS -- Bob Maich, Ray Hawkins, Alan Marsh -- we had a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind bringing that back -- but we've probably matured since then!
What did you like the most about the c-store industry?
I really enjoy all of the different elements of selling gasoline. On the retail side, I tell people, if you are driving down the street and your gas tank moves toward 'empty,' you don't say, "Whooopee! I'm going on a shopping spree!" Gasoline is not a fun experience. What you try to do is have a great presentation out front, where customers can pull in relatively easy. Squeegee should be full. Credit card should be authorized in a couple seconds. The pumps should be clean and the trash not overflowing. If you have all that, a strong price becomes a supplement.
On the procurement side, you get into so many analytical things -- trading, hedging, buying it in the Gulf Coast, in tankers, etc. We have access to a terminal in the Port of Wilmington. There are an awful lot of intricacies into being a great gasoline retailer. Wawa sold 1.3 billion gallons of gasoline last year.
Anything you regret selling?
I think the industry has never been on the side of the angels. Wawa doesn't sell adult magazines or cigarette papers, but the industry does. Much of the industry pays minimum wage -- and cigarettes are a best seller. So take these things together and not a lot of people regard c-stores as doing a lot of great things. Which is why being involved in the community really improves the image.
What do you think of the industry's image now?
In many cases, in terms of standards and the look of the stores, the industry hasn't been well run. But the industry has gotten much better over the years. Still, it could be improved some more. I think Sheetz is the most innovative, and Wawa's and QuikTrip's standards are probably the highest. What I admire about QuikTrip is when you walk into the store, someone says "Hello" to you. Always. I admire Chester Cadiuex the most of anyone in the industry.

The calculations for our jotform is not working properly all the time.Asked by djpto on November 18, 2015 at 10:53 AM
Hi recently a couple of submissions were not calculating correctly. Why is that?
Nicole Guida selected 20 lunches at 4.50 and the form calculated it at $144 instead of $90.

Everyone has a personal brand, but not everyone acknowledges it and manages it proactively. Some people don't like the term "personal brand" as they feel people aren't brands. Some people think that it is a thinly veiled term for self-promotion, publicity or image management. In fact, your personal brand is so much more. It is a way of consistently projecting a true, authentic view of you, your expertise and your promise of value to the marketplace.

Showcase Your Skills with Social Media
The competitive environment surrounding us encourages those who wish to succeed to learn how to market themselves effectively. Whether you are applying for a job, trying to win a client, or in some cases, applying to a university, using social media to present the real you can make be difference between you getting noticed or being overlooked. Social media enables many to showcase skills that may not be evident otherwise. Using only the written word is sometimes not enough to evaluate a candidate, especially when it may be more important for a person to fit into the organization from a personality, culture and attitude perspective than just in aptitude. By using social media, people can get a sense of who […]
Personal Brand or Online Reputation
Whatever you call it, you still need to manage it! There's a lot of conversation about the term personal brand. My favorite personal brand is Bono (no surprise here), but Tom Brady, Madonna, J. Lo, Manny Ramirez, Britney Spears and many other celebritites all have personal brands – some good and some not so good at times. As small business owners in the social media world, it's not about creating a celebrity-like image but about establishing your reputation and managing how you are perceived by others, especially those who may want to do business with you. Building and nurturing a consistent reputation for what you are good at (your differentiation) is something you should strive for to make finding your ideal client that […]
Personal Branding – Is it really something new?
I attended a great event last night held by Next Level Executives on personal branding. This event got me thinking that developing your reputation is nothing new – but doing so on such a global basis is what brings the overwhelming nature of personal branding to many business owners. Throughout my entire career, I have had to manage my reputation and "brand" from job to job. How many times were we told never to burn bridges because you never know when you will cross paths with that person again.
How Not to Get Business
In this era of social media and our ability to effectively connect and build relationships with so many folks around the world, why do some people think that by filling out my contact form, I would ever consider outsourcing client work to them?
How to Make Your Blog Stand Out in a Crowd
The way to gain visibility for your blog is to make it an ongoing marketing project. Do all the marketing basics that you would do for any activity: pick your target audience, understand what they need and how you fulfill that need, speak to them in terms they understand and provide useful, relevant information.
Personal Brand, Transparency & Authenticity
In the workshop I gave last week: Personal Branding: Promote Your Expertise using Social Media, we discussed the importance of being authentic and transparent when developing your personal brand. With the ease of social media, what you do exposes a little bit more of your personality each time. You no longer can put on a false face and get away with it. You need to manage your online reputation to ensure you always come across to others as you want to be presented. In this world of always connected, everyone is important, every email is important and everyone who visits your blog or social network profile needs to see the authentic you. Listen to Gary Vaynerchuk in these two video blog posts. […]

Works both Offline and Online For many thinking of starting their own businesses, the fear of finding clients can paralyze them enough to sabotage their efforts. Cold calling prospects can make some of us break out in a cold sweat. One of the things that I learned early on in my business start-up days is that there are other ways to find clients. When you have worked in corporate America for your entire career, one of the skills you didn't learn was how to network. As a business owner, networking is one of the best ways to get clients and today, adding social networking to the mix makes your ability to find business that much easier. One of the first […]
A Résumé or a Social Media Portfolio?
I've been following a few posts that have been debating the purpose of having a resume in this world of social media. In Seth Godin's post, "Why bother having a resume;?", he posits: I think if you're remarkable, amazing or just plain spectacular, you probably shouldn't have a resume at all. The rationale? It's an excuse to reject you. A resume makes you ordinary. And I agree. Having a boring, play by the rules resume can be the kiss of death. When I was a hiring manager at my last company, I had a recruiter begging me to meet with a candidate of his for a technical marketing position I had open. I told him based on her resume, she didn't have […]
Personal Brand and Passion
I had the opportunity to be a guest on the morning show at WCRN 830 True Talk Radio hosted by Maurice Lewis who was in for Peter Blute. Joining me was Jack Cutone. The discussion centered around the presentation I did last week on the value of personal branding at Jack's class at Quinsigamond College called "Business Administration Capstone". The goal of this course is to prepare these business students for making the transition from school to work. Whether you are just coming out of college or have been out in the market for a while, there are two challenges that I want to impress on people: You need to let your passion drive your career choice. You need to differentiate yourself from others […]

Great views and good moderate climb up. Worth doing for sure.
Love Quartz Ridge, and you can vary it up by starting at Squaw Peak northernmost trailhead, 32nd and Lincoln, or 40th St trailheads.
Melissa L.
Nice, quick hike that is located in the middle of the city and way less crowded than Camelback. The hike took me a little less than an hour to complete 8A but I did run parts of it.
Pretty flat, but great for a nice run. Beautiful views and not to steep.
Did a cozy Friday afternoon hike at Quartz Ridge today. As many times as I have been to Piestewa Peak Park I had never been to this trailhead before. Piestewa Peak and Quartz Ridge are both part of Phoenix Mountain Preserve and they share trails. The primary trail at Quartz Ridge is the 8A. I had tramped on it before inside Piestewa Peak but today traveled the length from the trailhead. It starts out as a nature hike but gets rugged at the top. There it joins up with the 8B which is prominently located inside Piestewa Peak. I did 4.2 miles out and back. One could easily mount a 10 mile hike by looping between Quartz Ridge and Piestewa Peak. It was a fun neighborhood hike.

Have Antique Repair Questions? Ask an Antique Appraiser
Hello and welcome! My name is Doris.I have been an antiques collector, dealer and appraiser for over 56 years.I will be pleased to help you.
I researched your question before I decided to answer.
From that research, I was able to determine an estimated retail value of $700-900 for your solid gold W. Bohms belt buckle from the US Civil War era assuming good condition and depending on sale geographic location.
Online auctions like eBay generally bring wholesale selling prices.
If you would like to sell close to estimated retail, some ideas are:
The internet has your largest audience of buyers. Place small ads on these sites or set up your own small store on these sites.
Etsy.com - small fees - 20 cents to list plus 3.5% final price.Artfire.comBonanza.comOr your nearest CraigsList.com where you can list items for free.
These sites are excellent and more upscale but fees are higher. I only recommend them if you have several items to sell.GoAntiques.comRubylane.comTias.comcyberattic.comtrocadero.com
A method that could be very effective would be to place a classified in the "Maine Antique Digest" It has a large readership of collectors all across the country.
I highly recommend this method. They only charge $25 for 25 words in a classified ad. This publication is a monthly newspaper as well as on their internet website.
In general, a private seller to a dealer or at auction can expect 30-60% of estimated retail value.
Insurance replacement values are usually about 10% more than retail values.
I hope I have helped you.
If I can help you with further questions about this answer, please let me know before you rate me.
All my answers are quoted in USA dollars.
I endeavor to give realistic, honest answers in a timely manner.
Please take a little time to give me a POSITIVE RATING NOW SO THAT I AM CREDITED BY JA for my knowledge, time and effort.
Please do not rate me down because of system difficulty.
Please let me know if you have difficulty with the site's rating system. To rate me, you should see 5 stars near my answer. 5 stars gives me the best rating.
Kind regards.
If you would like to use me on any future questions, requesting me expires in a short time. If you put "For Doris Only" as the first of three words of the question, most professionals on the site will respect that request.
Hi there!
I'm just following up with you to see how everything is going. Did my answer help or do you have more questions about your item that would help?
Kind regards,Doris

Research in Disabilities Education (RDE)
Program Solicitation
National Science Foundation
Letter of Intent Due Date(s) (optional):
March 07, 2005
Demonstration, Enrichment, and Information Dissemination (RDE-DEI) and Focused-Research Initiatives (RDE-FRI) tracks only.
Preliminary Proposal Due Date(s) (required):
February 28, 2005
Regional Alliances for Persons with Disabilities (RDE-RAD) track only.
Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):
April 18, 2005
All program tracks.
Program Title:
Research in Disabilities Education (RDE)
Synopsis of Program:
The Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) program supports efforts to increase the participation and achievement of persons with disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and careers. Meritorious projects from a diversity of institutions are supported via the RDE Demonstration, Enrichment, and Information Dissemination (RDE-DEI) program track. Promising research efforts are also developed further via awards under the Focused-Research Initiatives (RDE-FRI) program track. In the third program track, broadly applicable methods and products are disseminated for widespread use, commercialization, or inclusion in the activities of program-sponsored Regional Alliances for persons with disabilities in STEM education (RDE-RAD). RDE Alliances serve to inform the public, government, and industry about proven-good practices in the classroom, promote broader awareness of disabilities issues, and define specific areas of accessibility and human learning in need of further attention by educators and the research community.
Cognizant Program Officer(s):
Ted A Conway, Ph.D., Program Director, Research in Disabilities Education, 4201 Wilson Blvd., #815, Arlington, VA, 22230, USA telephone: (703) 292-4655, fax: (703) 292-9018, email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Applicable Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number(s):
There is no organization limit on proposals submitted under the RDE-DEI and
RDE-FRI program tracks. The categories of proposers identified in the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) are eligible to submit proposals under both of those program tracks.
A proposal submitted under the RDE-RAD program track must be submitted by a U.S. college or university in the United States.
Joint or linked proposals are not permitted and may be returned without review. Cooperative or collaborative efforts should instead be presented as subcontracted components on a single proposal that is submitted by the lead organization.
Colleges and universities already participating as a lead or partner institution within a current RAD award are not eligible to be a lead institution on a new RAD proposal until their current project funding has ended.
Proposals from minority-serving institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities are especially encouraged to apply.
Each PI may submit only 1 proposal to this year's RDE competition, regardless of program track and including possible Co-PI designations on competing proposals.
An individual who is a PI on one RDE proposal may not be included as a PI or a Co-PI on any competing proposal. An individual who is a Co-PI on one RDE proposal may not be included as a PI or a Co-PI on any competing proposal.
Note: RDE funds instuitional sponsors to conduct basic and applied research in STEM fields as related to disabilities. The program does not offer individual stipends, scholarships, or living expenses in direct support of individuals with disabilities. However, in some circumstances, individuals may qualify to apply for sub-grants from RDE projects as identified in the proposal and sanctioned by the PI and his or her institutional sponsor. For further details on Facilitation Awards for Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities (FASED), consult the guidelines presented in NSF 02-115, as applicable to all NSF programs.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) strives to ensure the vitality of the United States in all areas of the scientific and technical enterprise. Such efforts include the utilization of the full diversity and ability of the nation's diverse human capital. The programs of the Division of Human Resource Development (HRD), located in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), contribute to this goal by supporting activities that increase the participation of communities traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Such communities particularly include underrepresented minorities, women and girls, and persons with disabilities.
Within HRD, the Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) program is committed to increasing the number of persons with disabilities engaged in STEM careers by:
In short, RDE efforts are dedicated to changing the factors that historically have restricted the approaches to STEM disciplines that are available to persons with disabilities. Reducing such barriers is prerequisite to the advancement of such individuals as they prepare for engaging education and fulfilling careers in STEM fields. The RDE program is dedicated to providing an enriching, supportive, and relevant experience in STEM education for persons with disabilities at all academic levels. Outcomes of the program's diverse areas of support seek the proportionate and fully inclusive participation of persons with disabilities in the nation's STEM workforce.
For Fiscal Year 2005, RDE will support awards in: Demonstration, Enrichment, and Information Dissemination (RDE-DEI); Focused Research Initiatives (RDE-FRI); and Regional Alliances for Persons with Disabilities in STEM education (RDE-RAD). See Section II. Program Description for details about each of these program tracks.
Previous projects designed to recruit, train, and retain students with disabilities in STEM activities have consistently identified common elements that succeed in increasing the number of such students in STEM education and preparing them for STEM careers. Key among these activities are:
Comprehensive projects that are able to implement most or all of these elements have demonstrated success in recruiting, preparing, and retaining students with disabilities in STEM education. Such projects have demonstrated particular success in graduating students with disabilities with baccalaureate degrees leading directly to graduate training or to employment in STEM fields.
In addition to these proven methods, the RDE program supports efforts to search for new and innovative technologies that facilitate the students' ability to succeed in STEM activities. It is expected that appropriate Assistive Technology (AT) will be integrated into the learning activities of students' involved in the projects. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the AT, with recommendations for further improvement and universality of design, should also be conducted. As need requires, innovative AT development should also be a part of the proposed activities with universality of application being a main design component.
Project Evaluation
All proposals submitted to the Research in Disabilities Education program under any track must identify the specific project outcomes to be targeted for each year of the proposed award. Techniques and/or instruments to be used for measuring these outcomes must be described in the Project Description as a part of the evaluation plan.
Awardees will be required to participate in a program-level evaluation by which NSF can assess quantitative gains in relevant measures for students with disabilities and make qualitative assessments of the process of change. Projects are expected to have the capability of collecting and analyzing data derived from program evaluation activities. In addition, it is expected that each project will complement this effort with its own formative evaluation extending beyond the progress stipulated in the proposal.
Outcome Measures
For all RDE proposals, the effort required for developing a research and evaluation plan and collecting, measuring, and reporting appropriate outcome data should be supported in the proposed budget. The following are illustrative of outcome measures to be reported: number of total participants, including demographics; number of students with disabilities enrolled in STEM courses (majors and non-majors); accommodations or assistive-technology used and their level of success; number of these students obtaining degrees in a STEM discipline; the number of participants entering graduate school or careers in STEM fields; and comparable data for activities not directly supported by the project (i.e., 'control' cohorts).
Similar outcome measures must be reported for participants in faculty-enhancement activities. Complete bibliographic citations for journal publications, conference presentations (date, location, number of attendees), media coverage, workshops, software developed, survey results, uniform resource locators (URLs) and other products derived from RDE support are expected in the project's annual progress reports. Addressing relevant educational research questions and the publication of such results in peer-reviewed journals (in mainstream as well as disabilities-related areas) are especially encouraged.
Use of Human Subjects
NSF adheres to Subpart A (The Common Rule for the Protection of Human Subjects) of 45 CFR Part 690: Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects. This document defines a human subject as: "A living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains 1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual, or 2) identifiable private information. Intervention includes both physical procedures by which data are gathered (e.g., venipuncture) and the manipulations of the subject or the subject's environment that are performed for research purposes. Interaction includes communication or interpersonal contact between investigator and subject. Private information includes information about behavior that occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no observation or recording is taking place, and information which has been provided for specific purposes by an individual and which the individual can reasonably expect will not be made public (for example, a medical record). Private information must be individually identifiable (i.e., the identity of the subject is or may readily be ascertained by the investigator or associated with the information) in order for obtaining the information to constitute research involving human subjects." The Inspector General does monitor and audit such declarations, and RDE panelists will be asked to check for appropriate IRB certification on all proposals. The certification may not be finalized at the time of proposal submission (and ultimately does not apply to declined submissions) but should be dated and recorded as pending, as applicable, and included along with all full proposal submissions. Principal Investigators who are unsure whether their project applies as using human subjects according to their institutional guidelines should check with their institutional review board (IRB) or sponsored projects office (SPO).
Demonstration, Enrichment, and Information Dissemination (RDE-DEI)
The goals of RDE awards in the Demonstration, Enrichment, and Information Dissemination (RDE-DEI) program track are to:
Proposals to the RDE-DEI track are evaluated on their potential for innovation and promise for future research efforts within a short time for development and testing (up to 1 year) and a limited budget (up to $100,000).

If appropriate, DEI proposals of up to $100,000 and 1 year's duration may be submitted to conduct pilot studies and information exchange with the intent of submitting a stronger proposal to the RAD track in a later competition. Such proposals are distinct from the preliminary proposals required for the RAD track. Submitting a proposal for RAD pilot studies renders the proposer ineligible for proposal submissions to other RDE tracks in the same competition. As with other DEI proposals, appropriate attention must be given to project evaluation, outcome measures, and the use of human subjects.
See Section III. Eligibility Information for further information specific to the RDE-DEI program track.
Focused Research Initiatives (RDE-FRI)
The goals of the RDE awards for Focused Research Initiatives (RDE-FRI) are to:
Proposals to the RDE-FRI track are evaluated on their potential for solving specific problems in a short period of time (up to 3 years) with a limited budget (up to $300,000) and the immediate educational impact of applying this research.
See Section III. Eligibility Information for further information specific to the RDE-FRI program track.
Regional Alliances for Persons with Disabilities in STEM Education (RDE-RAD)
RDE supports the design and operation of comprehensive Regional Alliances for Persons with Disabilities in STEM education (RDE-RAD). RAD projects emphasize broader implementation of elements that have proven successful under prior NSF or other support. These Regional Alliances are conceived as networks established by universities and colleges with linkages throughout academe and in partnership with industry, government, and national research laboratories. Academic partnerships should include 2-year and 4-year institutions as well as pre-college educational entities.
The Alliances must be comprehensive, multidisciplinary programs designed to: 1) increase the quantity and quality of students with disabilities receiving associate and baccalaureate degrees in STEM disciplines; 2) identify early potential in STEM students with disabilities, then nurture such interest with appropriate activities, relevant content, and advisement for careers or advanced study; and/or 3) support and sustain the intellectual endeavors of STEM professionals who have acquired disabilities later in their careers. To achieve these goals, RDE Regional Alliances provide comprehensive educational and research experiences, quality support services for recruitment and retention, and career-development activities for students, counselors, and faculty alike.
Proposals to the RDE-RAD track are evaluated on their potential for incorporating and disseminating proven-good practices in disabilities education and research (including the outcomes of DEI and FRI projects); changing faculty and employer attitudes and institutional cultures by making curricula and employment programs more inclusive and accessible; and developing student self-advocacy, STEM literacy and workforce preparation. The proposed efforts are expected to be expansive, involving a multi-faceted network of institutions in a Cooperative Agreement representing a substantial investment of time (up to 5 years) and funding (up to $3,000,000) with an eye toward autonomy of the Alliance after federal support is expended.
In their project design, proposers are strongly encouraged to give specific attention to the critical issues that hinder or deter the inclusion and participation by persons with disabilities in STEM education and careers. These activities include, but are not limited to:
RDE Regional Alliances should also conduct appropriate formative and summative evaluation and research activities to assess the effectiveness of strategies that improve participation of students with disabilities in STEM education. Examples of activities that are appropriate in this category include, but are not limited to:
Note: The activities listed above represent general guidelines; the strongest proposals will detail specific plans, timelines, and activities in pursuit of these ends, as suited to the particular and quantified needs of the community to be addressed in the proposed scope of work.
See Section III. Eligibility Information for further information specific to the RDE-RAD program track.
General Criteria for all RDE Proposals

RDE-FRI awards will be standard or continuing grants of up to $300,000 and up to 3 years' duration. Three to 4 such awards are anticipated in FY 2005.
RDE-RAD awards are Cooperative Agreements of up to $3,000,000 and up to 5 years' duration. One such award is expected in FY 2005.
Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of program funds. Awards will not necessarily be made in all program categories detailed in this solicitation for any given year.
Letters of Intent
Letters of intent are optional and should be submitted for DEI and FRI proposals only. Letters of intent are informal and may be submitted by U.S. Mail (to 4201 Wilson Blvd., Room 815, Arlington, VA 22230), by fax (to (703) 292-9018), or by e-mail (to firstname.lastname@example.com). Letters of intent are expected to be brief and should not be developed as preliminary proposals. They should include the names and affiliations of the key investigators with a brief (50- to 100-word) summary of the problem to be addressed.
Preliminary Proposals
Preliminary proposals are required and should be submitted for RAD proposals only. Preliminary proposals should be submitted via FastLane using the instructions for submission provided there. Preliminary proposals should identify the key investigators and institutions involved in the proposed alliance (via biographical sketches and prior support statements), a narrative of unique alliance activities, timeline, and budget, quantified needs of the community to be addressed and letters of preliminary community support. The entire preliminary proposal submission package should not exceed 25 single-spaced pages in 12-point type (or the equivalent). A full proposal will be "encouraged" or "discouraged" based on the review of the preliminary proposal. Only those preliminary proposals encouraged by RDE staff should be prepared as full RAD proposals for submission by the April 18 deadline.

Preliminary Proposals
Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):
Proposers are required to prepare and submit all proposals for this announcement/solicitation through the FastLane system. Detailed instructions for proposal preparation and submission via FastLane are available at: https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/a1/newstan.htm. For FastLane user support, call the FastLane Help Desk at 1-800-673-6188 or e-mail email@example.com. The FastLane Help Desk answers general technical questions related to the use of the FastLane system. Specific questions related to this program announcement/solicitation should be referred to the NSF program staff contact(s) listed in Section VIII of this announcement/solicitation.
Submission of Electronically Signed Cover Sheets. The Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) must electronically sign the proposal Cover Sheet to submit the required proposal certifications (see Chapter II, Section C of the Grant Proposal Guide for a listing of the certifications). The AOR must provide the required electronic certifications within five working days following the electronic submission of the proposal. Proposers are no longer required to provide a paper copy of the signed Proposal Cover Sheet to NSF. Further instructions regarding this process are available on the FastLane Website at: http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov
Reviews of proposals submitted to NSF are solicited from peers with expertise in the substantive area of the proposed research or education project. These reviewers are selected by Program Officers charged with the oversight of the review process. NSF invites the proposer to suggest, at the time of submission, the names of appropriate or inappropriate reviewers. Care is taken to ensure that reviewers have no conflicts with the proposer. Special efforts are made to recruit reviewers from non-academic institutions, minority-serving institutions, or adjacent disciplines to that principally addressed in the proposal.
The National Science Board approved revised criteria for evaluating proposals at its meeting on March 28, 1997 (NSB 97-72). All NSF proposals are evaluated through use of the two merit review criteria. In some instances, however, NSF will employ additional criteria as required to highlight the specific objectives of certain programs and activities.
On July 8, 2002, the NSF Director issued Important Notice 127, Implementation of new Grant Proposal Guide Requirements Related to the Broader Impacts Criterion. This Important Notice reinforces the importance of addressing both criteria in the preparation and review of all proposals submitted to NSF. NSF continues to strengthen its internal processes to ensure that both of the merit review criteria are addressed when making funding decisions.
In an effort to increase compliance with these requirements, the January 2002 issuance of the GPG incorporated revised proposal preparation guidelines relating to the development of the Project Summary and Project Description. Chapter II of the GPG specifies that Principal Investigators (PIs) must address both merit review criteria in separate statements within the one-page Project Summary. This chapter also reiterates that broader impacts resulting from the proposed project must be addressed in the Project Description and described as an integral part of the narrative.
Effective October 1, 2002, NSF will return without review proposals that do not separately address both merit review criteria within the Project Summary. It is believed that these changes to NSF proposal preparation and processing guidelines will more clearly articulate the importance of broader impacts to NSF-funded projects.
The two National Science Board approved merit review criteria are listed below (see the Grant Proposal Guide Chapter III.A for further information). The criteria include considerations that help define them. These considerations are suggestions and not all will apply to any given proposal. While proposers must address both merit review criteria, reviewers will be asked to address only those considerations that are relevant to the proposal being considered and for which he/she is qualified to make judgments.
NSF staff will give careful consideration to the following in making funding decisions:
All proposals are carefully reviewed by at least three other persons outside NSF who are experts in the particular field represented by the proposal. Proposals submitted in response to this announcement/solicitation will be reviewed by Ad Hoc and/or panel review.
Reviewers will be asked to formulate a recommendation to either support or decline each proposal. The Program Officer assigned to manage the proposal's review will consider the advice of reviewers and will formulate a recommendation.
A summary rating and accompanying narrative will be completed and submitted by each reviewer. In all cases, reviews are treated as confidential documents. Verbatim copies of reviews, excluding the names of the reviewers, are sent to the Principal Investigator/Project Director by the Program Director. In addition, the proposer will receive an explanation of the decision to award or decline funding.
NSF is striving to be able to tell proposers whether their proposals have been declined or recommended for funding within six months. The time interval begins on the closing date of an announcement/solicitation, or the date of proposal receipt, whichever is later. The interval ends when the Division Director accepts the Program Officer's recommendation.
In all cases, after programmatic approval has been obtained, the proposals recommended for funding will be forwarded to the Division of Grants and Agreements for review of business, financial, and policy implications and the processing and issuance of a grant or other agreement. Proposers are cautioned that only a Grants and Agreements Officer may make commitments, obligations or awards on behalf of NSF or authorize the expenditure of funds. No commitment on the part of NSF should be inferred from technical or budgetary discussions with a NSF Program Officer. A Principal Investigator or organization that makes financial or personnel commitments in the absence of a grant or cooperative agreement signed by the NSF Grants and Agreements Officer does so at their own risk.
Notification of the award is made to the submitting organization by a Grants Officer in the Division of Grants and Agreements. Organizations whose proposals are declined will be advised as promptly as possible by the cognizant NSF Program Division administering the program. Verbatim copies of reviews, not including the identity of the reviewer, will be provided automatically to the Principal Investigator. (See section VI.A. for additional information on the review process.)
An NSF award consists of: (1) the award letter, which includes any special provisions applicable to the award and any numbered amendments thereto; (2) the budget, which indicates the amounts, by categories of expense, on which NSF has based its support (or otherwise communicates any specific approvals or disapprovals of proposed expenditures); (3) the proposal referenced in the award letter; (4) the applicable award conditions, such as Grant General Conditions (NSF-GC-1); * or Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) Terms and Conditions * and (5) any announcement or other NSF issuance that may be incorporated by reference in the award letter. Cooperative agreement awards also are administered in accordance with NSF Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions (CA-1). Electronic mail notification is the preferred way to transmit NSF awards to organizations that have electronic mail capabilities and have requested such notification from the Division of Grants and Agreements.
*These documents may be accessed electronically on NSF's Website at https://www.nsf.gov/home/grants/grants_gac.htm. Paper copies may be obtained from the NSF Publications Clearinghouse, telephone (703) 292-7827 or by e-mail from firstname.lastname@example.com.
More comprehensive information on NSF Award Conditions is contained in the NSF Grant Policy Manual (GPM) Chapter II, available electronically on the NSF Website at https://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?gpm. The GPM is also for sale through the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402. The telephone number at GPO for subscription information is (202) 512-1800. The GPM may be ordered through the GPO Website at http://www.gpo.gov.
For all multi-year grants (including both standard and continuing grants), the PI must submit an annual project report to the cognizant Program Officer at least 90 days before the end of the current budget period.
See subsections on Project Evaluation and Outcome Measures in Section II. Program Description.
Within 90 days after the expiration of an award, the PI also is required to submit a final project report. Failure to provide final technical reports delays NSF review and processing of pending proposals for the PI and all Co-PIs. PIs should examine the formats of the required reports in advance to assure availability of required data.
PIs are required to use NSF's electronic project reporting system, available through FastLane, for preparation and submission of annual and final project reports. This system permits electronic submission and updating of project reports, including information on project participants (individual and organizational), activities and findings, publications, and other specific products and contributions. PIs will not be required to re-enter information previously provided, either with a proposal or in earlier updates using the electronic system.

Fishermen have their own bizarre ways of catching fishes that we don't even think of while eating and enjoying it! But the efforts these guys put in to bring us these tasty fishes to us is commendable!
Out of many other various ways, this trick in which Chinese fishermen use flaresto attract fishes at night, from Taiwan is getting viral and is posted on Redditas well. Well, it is a pretty interesting technique of catching fishes and is also a very interesting process to watch, indeed.
Click on the video below to see how these Chinese fishermen use flares to catch fishes in the dark:
Apparently what we understand here is that the light attracts these fishes during the night and they jump out of the water. Now, to be honest we don't know the science behind but here we have some comments from a few Redditors that are explaining this phenomenon for us.
Fish are attracted to light, but there aree so many in the water that they freak and jump out.
I was under the impression that the preference / aversion towards light varied with different species of fish. As to the jumping out of the water, I know there has been some problems with invasion of oriental origin fish in the states and that some species get worked up with the vibration of the boat motors and start jumping wildly.
Fish jumping out of the water is called boiling...
Fish jumping out of the water isn't because of the light it's because of all the fish in the water, and the reason there are so many fish at the top of the water is because of the light.
The same goes for squid.. and pretty much and fish that operates at night.
They're some type of carp, and you're right, just the vibration from the motors makes em jump, and these things can grow pretty dang big. Fisherman and other boaters can easily be knocked unconscious or even out of the boat by a fish on a very unlucky path out of the water.
Only because it was an effective way to catch fish at night, Native Americans had it down with birchbark canoes and torches, because it was a way to live and create sustenance. Way before the White man took over the land
It is an interesting process to watch actually. It is illegal in the states but I have tried it without trying to catch the fish. We used a million candle spotlight and just held it pointed at the water. You can see all the little bugs and what not coming to the light. Then little fish come to eat the bugs. Then bigger fish come to eat the little fish. This was in a lake in Minnesota.

So apparently the Wikia devs are trying out 3 globalnav bars this month. We got the first of 3 today. Unfortunately, it's pretty terrible. The blinding white doesn't match well with our dark theme. Plus it takes up so much space. I have a big monitor, but even then it's annoying since it follows me when I scroll down. Quite a pain in the ass. Fortunately, you're able to edit it on your profile for each wiki by going to Special:MyPage/wikia.css. An example of the one I'm using can be found at http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/User:ResistanZ/wikia.css. It's still pretty underwhelming, but at least the blinding white is gone. Feel free to use the exact same one or tweak it to your desires.
If you find a way to make it better, please share with us.
