Types of Proposals
Solicited Proposals

Cooperative Agreements
Sponsored Agreements
Most of the research conducted at universities nationwide is performed with funds from sponsoring agencies that support research, training, and service through various agreements. Researchers, or principal investigators (PIs) submit proposals to sponsors, through their institutions, requesting funding for clearly defined sponsored activities.
Types of Proposals
There are two types of proposals submitted by the University for PIs in search of sponsored funding:
1. Solicited Applications/Proposals
Requests for Applications (RFAs) are stand-alone requests for applications. Each will provide sufficient information to allow prospective applicants to determine whether to apply, including the amount of funding available, the number of awards anticipated, the deadline date for receipt of applications, and other information describing the nature of the effort desired and the obligations of recipients. For cooperative agreements, the RFA will describe the responsibilities and obligations of the agency and awardees as well as joint responsibilities and obligations. Occasionally, RFAs limit the number of proposals that an institution may submit, necessitating an ad-hoc internal selection process.
Solicitations, or requests for proposals (RFPs), are issued by agencies or private funding sources who make requests for a specific project. The request for proposals may be listed as Program Announcements (PA). PAs are used to describe new, continuing, or expanded program interests of the Sponsor or to announce the availability of a new mechanism of support. These RFPs are generally subject to open bidding to any qualified research institution. Deadlines are specified in the announcement and must be adhered to (see Sponsor Grants and Program Announcements). The resulting agreement usually takes the form of a contract between the funding agency and the institution.
Unsolicited proposals are submitted to a potential sponsor in accordance with general guidelines and statements of interest rather than as a result of a specific solicitation. If the sponsor decides to fund the proposed plan of work, the funding may take the form of a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement. Most National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant support is the result of unsolicited proposals. Corporate sector funding is frequently in the form of contract or collaborative agreements. Most large sponsors have set deadlines for submission of unsolicited proposals and published schedules for the review and notification process.
Types of Awards
Funding may take several forms. A few of the most common types are listed below. The list is not exhaustive, but all of the sponsored funding in the School of Medicine falls into one of these categories.
Contracts are legal agreements used for procuring a specific service or product. (When another organization subcontracts to JHU, it is also a contract, but it is classified as a subcontract for record-keeping purposes.) In the case of fixed-price contracts, a set lump-sum payment is established in advance for performance of a specified set of tasks or delivery of a certain service (e.g., $/lab test per completed patient) and payment is limited to such price multiplied by the number of units performed. Cost-reimbursement contracts provide for payment of actual costs incurred, up to a ceiling amount equal to the total estimated cost stated in the contract. The contractor may discontinue work on the project after costs reach this upper limit, unless the sponsor increases the total contract. However, the reporting and record-keeping necessary to document the expenses on a cost-reimbursement contract usually outweigh the advantage of working with a more flexible cost ceiling.
This form of federal assistance involves both the Government and the grantee sharing responsibility for programmatic management of the project. Cooperative agreements anticipate "substantial federal involvement with the recipient during performance of the contemplated activity." Specific terms of collaboration are spelled out in individual agreements, which the ORA will review carefully with the investigator. In all other respects, cooperative agreements follow the policies applicable to grants.
Grants and Cooperative Agreements are usually awarded to support or assist projects whereas contracts procure a definite service or product. Grants are less restrictive than contracts, although technical and financial reports are generally required. Grants may be awarded by foundations, corporations or agencies of the federal government. Amounts and types of awards vary from sponsor to sponsor, and many agencies offer several sorts of grant opportunities.
Among the grants available from the National Institutes of Health, the major types are:
Research Project Grant (R01): awarded to an institution on behalf of a Principal Investigator to facilitate research in the area of an investigator's interest and competence.
Program Project Grant (P01): for support of a broadly-based, long- term research program involving several projects and investigators with a common objective.
Career Development Programs (K series)
Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01): provides investigators (Ph.D.s) or equivalent with additional sponsored experience in a research area new to the applicant or one that would enhance the applicant's scientific career. It replaces the earlier K01, and the K14, K17, and K21 awards.
Independent Scientist Award (K02): supports recently independent investigators (Ph.D. or equivalent) with outstanding potential to become future leaders in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences. It replaces the earlier K02 and the K04 awards.
Senior Scientist Award (K05): provides support to senior investigators who are recognized leaders in their field, to enhance their skills and dedication to their research area.
Academic Career Award (K07): supports individuals who wish to develop expertise in a specific academic area; or, it can support acknowledged experts in developing curricula and research capacity within an academic institution.
Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08): supports clinicians who need an intensive period of mentored research experience. It replaces the earlier K08, the K11, K15, and K20 awards.
Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K12): an award to an educational institution to support career development award experiences for clinicians, leading to research independence (a variation of the K08). It replaces the earlier K12 and the K16 awards.
Mentored Patient-oriented Research Career Development Award (K23): an award to support the career development of investigators who have made a commitment to focus their research endeavors on patient-oriented research.
Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24): an award to provide support for clinicians to allow them protected time to devote to patient-oriented research and to act as mentors for beginning clinical investigators.
National Research Service Awards for Individual Postdoctoral Fellows (Individual NRSA) (F32): individual grants for specified training proposals in biomedical and behavioral research in areas of national need, selected as a result of a national competition.
National Research Service Awards for Institutional Training Grants (Institutional NRSA) (T32): Institutional grants for training of biomedical and behavioral scientists in areas of national need.
Refer to Appendix B for an extensive list of federal career development grant awards.
Individual fellowships may be awarded to support advanced or continued education in a given area of research. They are made available by a broad range of sponsors, including foundations, governmental agencies and professional societies.
These are funds or tangible property provided to the University with no past, present or future benefit to the donor. The donor may stipulate that his/her contribution is to be used for a designated purpose, but detailed expenditure or technical reports are generally not required as a condition of the award. However, progress report letters are an expected courtesy.

For additional information, contact the Secretary of the Committee, Joanne Frantz (Ext. 5-8921).
Fund for Medical Discovery: The Johns Hopkins Fund for Medical Discovery (FMD) was established to provide modest support for proposals typically not funded by extramural agencies or other funding programs of the School of Medicine. The primary goal of the FMD is to enhance interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research at Johns Hopkins. The highest priority will be given to proposals that clearly will lead to new extramural grant applications for core resources, shared instrumentation, program-projects, research centers, etc. For more information click here, or contact Karen Falter (X2-2132).
Tilghman Traveling Fellowship. Established in 1976 by Dr. and Mrs. R. Carmichael Tilghman, this traveling fellowship is to be awarded annually to young members of the Medical Faculty to assist them during a sabbatical leave of up to one year to travel outside the Baltimore area to pursue new theories, methods and techniques in their chosen discipline. For more information and application guidelines, click here.
The Office of Business Development (OBD) within the Division of Licensing and Technology Development (LTD) is responsible for cultivating new relationships between the School of Medicine and the corporate sector, including pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic companies, biotechnology companies, and venture capital firms. Such relationships might involve sponsored research, technology licensing, and start-up businesses. The primary goals are to promote the School of Medicine's research capabilities and generate new sources of revenue for the School of Medicine and faculty research.
Consequently, if you are interested in industrial collaborations, OBD might be able to assist you. It is important to keep in mind, however, that obtaining corporate support often requires long-term planning and efforts. In addition, OBD usually focuses on developing strategic alliances with companies that will support a number of related research projects at a substantial funding level. Thus, it is difficult for OBD to give a great deal of attention to smaller individual sponsored research proposals. Nevertheless, Deborah Day Barbara (email@example.com), Senior Director for Technology Development (410-347-3222), welcomes all inquiries regarding possible corporate support.
If OBD cannot help you directly, OBD can refer you to other SOM offices that might be able to assist. For example, the Senior Director works closely with the Office of Technology Licensing (OTL), Office of Research Administration (ORA), Office of Policy Coordination Management (OPC), Office of the Vice Dean for Research and the Office of the General Counsel (GC). In addition, OBD has worked closely with several external groups on initiatives and programs that are of potential interest to the faculty and provide new support opportunities to the SOM research enterprise, including non-profit and for-profit companies, the State of Maryland, and the Federal Government.
For more information on the role of OBD's sister office, the Office of Technology Licensing (OTL), please visit the OTL webpage.
Development Office (The Fund for Johns Hopkins Medicine)
If the invited grant programs of topic- oriented foundations and disease- specific societies do not provide an opportunity for funding your project, the development officer assigned to your department may be able to suggest one or more small foundations as potential sponsors. Requests for assistance from your departmental development officer should be made through the office of your department director.
Many foundations allow only one proposal at a time to be submitted by the entire University at a time for various grant and fellowship programs. Accordingly, submission to such foundations requires institutional clearance. Faculty interested in submitting proposals to these foundations should contact Karen Falter (x2-2132) in the Office of Research Administration. An internal deadline will be determined and posted by the Office of the Vice Dean for Research for internal review of the proposals. The internal review will select the institution's nominee. Once notified, the selected nominee will submit the entire proposal to the Office of Research Administration for review and institutional approval.

Omar El Sharif waiting for Yusra's approval
Director Enas Baker has nominated prominent actors Omar El Sharif, Ahmad Ramzi, Madeline Matar, Samira Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rahmnan Abu Zahra to star in the new television drama "Hanan and Haneen". Enas has revealed that she is also waiting for the final approval of prominent actress Yusra and plans on beginning shooting the first scenes in early February.
According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, filming locations have been set to be in Alexandria Egypt and New York in the USA. Enas had previously won an a golden award at the Radio and Television Festival in 2001 for her film "Sahrit Taksheerit Mirati" (My Wife's Frown), which was produced by the Voice of Cairo. She had also worked with El Sharif previously as an assistant director in some of his films.
On a different note, Yusra denied allegations that she indirectly pressured Egyptian actress Hannan Turk to remove the Hijab, an Islamic headdress.
Yusra also stated that she never asked Hannan's husband, businessman Khaled Khatab, to make his wife remove the Hijab or that she is behind the problems that are currently between the couple and may lead to their divorce.
Yusra stated that she had left Egypt before the Cairo International Film Festival, and during the entire time she was abroad she kept receiving numerous calls that she is pushing Hannan to remove the Hijab.
She added that once she returned to Egypt, she made a private call to Hannan and asked her if she was pressuring her to remove the Hijab, which Hannan told her that she never did. Yusra had then asked Hannan why she was saying that Yusra is pressuring her, but the latter stated that she never discussed the matter of her Hijab with anyone because it is a personal issue that is of no one's business.
Yusra said that some had taken advantage of her travel outside Egypt to create problems between her and Hannan. She noted that she does not pay much attention to such rumors and that matters like the Hijab is a decision that one takes on their own.
Rumors had it allegations made by Hannan against prominent actress Yusra has caused criticism to surface. It was said that Hannan stated that Yusra had repeatedly attempted to convince her to remove the Hijab.

A strategic tool for educational planning: using mobile technology for school census
Ms Ilona Genevois and Mr Khadim Sylla | Presentation (PDF)
In technology-intensive sectors such as education management information systems (EMIS), the private sector Information and Communication Technology could play a role not only in the provision of equipment, but especially in the exchange of expertise and know-how. It is with this perspective in mind that UNESCO-IIEP, Microsoft and Orange Group have decided to join forces for a Public Private Partnerships (PPP) for a school census by mobile phones, which will allow an appropriate solution to difficulties faced by countries in information management.
Traditional development financing, especially in the field of education, have shown their limits and one new mechanism to close the funding gap for education could be Public Private Partnerships as a means of innovative financing for development. One of the conditions to achieve universal primary education is the existence of an education management information system (EMIS) which is a functional and effective way of mobilizing the necessary information to develop strategic education plans, the implementation of programs and projects, monitoring and evaluation of activities, etc.
Yet in many countries, all diagnostic studies conducted on the educational system converge to highlight the weakness of EMIS and show that this disability weighs heavily on the capabilities to manage and monitor the country's education system. The strengthening of information systems is emerging as a top priority and the project PPP/EMIS school census by mobile phones could improve, at a large scale, the quality of data for educational planning.
Ilona Genevois joined the International Institute for Educational Planning (UNESCO) in 2000. She is the Focal Point for Innovative Financing, Public Private Partnerships and Education. Prior, Ilona Genevois worked with WHO and UNDP on projects related to development of evaluation measures for political and economic actions. Ilona Genevois holds a D.E.A. in Economic Sciences and International Relations (Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, France) and a "Diplom-Volkswirtin" degree from Germany. She has published studies on an approach to measure well-being and its contribution to the social-economic debate and on mobilizing resources for international development cooperation in education, innovative mechanism and partnerships.
Khadim Sylla (Senegal) is holder of a PhD in Computer Science, and two Master's Degrees one in Mathematics and another in Economics. Mr Sylla joined UNESCO IIEP in March 1999. Previously, he worked as a Teacher and Researcher for the Institute of Technology at the University of Limoges, France. His research interests include the use of ICT for the improvement of the learning process and information systems for Educational planning. He also works on the design and development of software systems for sample design. Member of the Technical Assistance and Support Planning team, Mr Sylla is involved in supporting Member States in the fields of information systems, statistics and indicators on education, school-mapping.
Ilona Genevois and Khadim Sylla are jointly responsible for IIEP's PPP-EMIS Africa project: school census by mobile phone technology.

6-1/2 inch car speakers are full-range speakers that are simple to mount and are the most common speaker size found in automobiles. With a coaxial speaker system, the woofer reproduces the low frequency sounds and the tweeter has the duty to reproduce the higher frequencies. 6.5 inch car speakers are typically made with firm materials such as synthetic films, with polypropylene being commonly used to for added longevity. 6-1/2 inch speakers system will offer much fuller mid-bass and have the potential to produce some deep bass. We do recommend adding a subwoofer to reinforce the bass but it is not mandatory.

Voltage, amperage, current, ohms. It's enough to make your head spin if you're just getting started making things with electricity. Electricity .01 will give you a handle on the big three of direct current and how to trade them off. After this class you'll understand voltage, current and resistance, though not why they're abbreviated E, I and R. We'll be making electricity from scratch two ways, messing with multimeters, and rocking out with resistors. We will not, alas, be blowing anything up.

I am using an eager beaver machine and have no problems with fleshing except for the last little bit of leather. I can shave it real easily to the "white" but the blade does not want to shave anymore after this. It may "bite" and take it to the roots occasionally. Does the blade need adjusted "up" more so it takes a bigger bite? It already seems to take a fairly deep bite on a pickled cape except for when trying to take to blue. It seems to stop shaving after it reaches a certain point.I need to apply pressure to take it to blue it does not thin uniformly. Any suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Return to Tanning Category Menu
For anyone to really give you a good answer - they'd have to see you shave - and how you position your guards, as well as how you adjust the edge! It does however, seem strange that you can shave the pickled skin to through the "white" - but not to the slight "blue"! For some reason that has me puzzled.
Only a suggestion - but have you seen our video on shaving? It's Catalog #PF-901. It's $14.95 PP. Although its done on the model before the one you may have - the same techniques apply!
I have the video and have the guards set up exactly the same as the video. The video is all I have gone by.

AMD certainly has made an impression at GDC 2013 with its new line of dedicated cloud gaming graphics cards–the Radeon Sky Series–along with the Radeon HD 7990, which they labeled as the "world's fastest graphics card". AMD also delved into the PlayStation 4's hardware and discussed how they "gave it the hardware that Nvidia couldn't".
During their presentation at this year's Game Developer's Conference, AMD mystified the crowd by unveiling the first public showing of the "world's fastest graphics card": the Radeon HD 7990.
The chipmaker also shed light on its new lineup of GPUs dedicated to cloud gaming–the Radeon Sky Series–and discussed how they gave Sony's next-gen PlayStation 4 console the "hardware that Nvidia couldn't".
The dual-GPU unit that AMD showcased during the presentation was just a preview of the Radeon HD 7990 so details were a bit scarce, however AMD Product Manager Devon Nekechuck did have a few things to say about the new card:
"This packs two of our 7990 series GPUs. This is only a preview series today, so I'm going to have to hold back some of the details for you guys, but this is not only the world's fastest graphics card, this thing is whisper quiet with these three fans over here.
This thing delivers massive performance and this is really the gamer's dream card."
Nekechuck also revealed that the Radeon HD 7990 is a member of the same family as other 7990's on the market, such as the Asus Ares II and the PowerColor Double 13.
The GPU itself is believed to be based on two Tahiti GPUs and carry a total of 6GB (3GB per) of GDDR5 memory that's carried over a dual 384-bit memory interface. Additionally, the core speeds for the GPUs are believed to be in the range of 1 – 1.1 GHz.
"This is the world's first preview of this card," AMD's Devon Nekechuck said. "This is the first public showing ever."
Details concerning a release date of the new GPU are scarce, however AMD is anticipated to launch the card in Q2 2013 for a price range that approaches $1,000.

There were partisan reader comments to a political article?
Shocked I tellz ya!
Holy ****, seriously?and the Chik-Fil-A protesters never tried to denigrate the quality of the business as a means to cause it harm
Ignorance and selective memory is bliss, eh.
Sadly the law doesn't agree with you. And I find your view offensive, frankly. Speech is the cornerstone fo freedom, and it's not the comfy one-way street you libs would like it to be. It comes with as many responsabillities and it does rights. One of which is others may express THEIR free speech to speak against you and your own expression of same.Anyone wants to boycott the pizza place because the owner supports Obama? Go ahead. It's stupid and absurd, but go ahead. But this? Too far.
When I have some time, I'll have to see what you two thought of Occupy, and the various occupational, violence and crime-based expression of their "rights". I have a distinct feeling, especially with one of you, you had no such compunction supporting their rights to protest or speak.
There were partisan reader comments to a political article?
Shocked I tellz ya!
So, what you glean from what I say trumps what I'm telling you my point of view is. Gotcha.
As far as you thinly veiled insult about me being a hypocrite on Occupy I am pretty sure we discussed it. I didn't support it, felt that anyone who broke the law should be prosecuted, we agreed (I think) on how people will support criminal protest when they agree with the message. You got in it with someone about how the Events leading up to the revolution were criminal in that they broke English law, whoever you said that to disagreed. I think we did what we always do, agreed in some areas and disagreed on other. I think you asked me what kind of illegal protest I was okay with and I said anything that wasn't criminal or harmful. As long as people understood that they would have to face the consequences of their actions.
I think you will probably conject this Post as support for Pol Pot

Albert Pujols' Old Cardinals Jerseys Burned and Donated
After long-time St. Louis icon, Albert Pujols, signed his 10-year $254 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, some fans began tearing off their St. Louis Cardinal jerseys and setting them ablaze.
While it may seem as though it was just a few passionate fans expressing their discontent, for some Christians it was an opportunity to turn a negative situation into a positive one for many people who are facing hard times this holiday season.
Members of The Gathering United Methodist Church, based in St. Louis, felt they had a responsibility to make sure the situation did end negatively and took the opportunity to instead spread love over the Christmas season.
The pastor of The Gathering, Matt Miofsky said, "So much of faith is about perspective."
He continued, "There's collective disappointment and anger among some in the community, and part of our job as a church is to help people funnel those feelings into a making a positive difference," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
When reports around town began telling about disgruntled fans setting their jerseys on fire, members of The Gathering decided to take action. The Gathering decided to collect all the jerseys and then donate them to charities in the Anaheim area, that is when "Recycle the five drive" in honor of Pujols' number was created.
"Don't burn those Pujols jerseys!" The church's Facebook status stated. "Bring them to The Gathering United Methodist Church - during business hours and on Sunday."
On Friday, a tweet sent from The Gathering stated: "Don't burn that Pujols T-shirt or jersey! Bring it to 2105 McCausland. We'll donate it to a charity in Anaheim. Seriously."
Church member Elaine Kidwell, 74, a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan, first heard about The Gathering's jersey recycling effort on Facebook and thought it was a very good idea.
"It's a great way to put a positive spin on something that's been very painful for all of us," Kidwell said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I think Pujols really sold St. Louis out, and people are really feeling down about it. The Recycle Five Drive is a way to have fun, put a positive spin on the whole thing, and get people laughing about it."

"I love being active in world-building, so we're working on "G.I. Joe 3" right now. We're designing tons of stuff, which takes a little bit, but to me, that's obviously where I like to push myself and where I want to be for a long time and get to know better...I'm excited to bring in new characters and fun things beyond Bruce and Dwayne that we're working on and some great villains, but we're forming those ideas now. I'm really excited - it's going to be a whole 'nother level."
"It all gets carried away again. They asked me about Channing and I don't know. You never know in these movies, and that's all I said, and suddenly it became "Channing Tatum might be back." To me, every possibility is open and we're writing the script right now and we're figuring everything out. It's an extremely low possibility when you kill somebody like that, it's pretty much it, but you never know with "G.I. Joe." We did that with Storm Shadow, too."
"I think we're going to be shooting next year. We're pretty motivated to get that up."

Historic Rockport: Central Street
This historic picture of downtown Rockport taken in 1927 from the collection of the Camden-Rockport Historical Society, shows Socony Gas located in the space formerly occupied by Rockport Ice Company. The next building is Shepherd Grocers which was replaced by First National Stores and is now occupied by Shepherd's Pie Restaurant. The trolley is shown leaving downtown on its way to Camden.
I couldn't agree more with Steve's comment. It would be fantastic to not have to use a car! Love the post of this old photo.
I would love to see the trolley return to our area. Most likely not in my lifetime. Most things eventually come back around and perhaps sometime in the future people will be smart enough to understand the importance of public transportation.

Basically I suffer really bad hand pain on long decents and last year in the alps had to stop regularly to relieve the pain. I've tried various grips of different compounds but never these ergonomic style grips like the Ergon GP1s as I've always been put off by their looks (shallow I know).
Anyone use them? Do they help? Any other ideas to stop hand pain?

The Reading Specialist M.A.Ed. expands and improves students' skills as teachers of reading and meets the Virginia requirements for an add-on endorsement as a reading specialist.
The program provides intense, and detailed training in formal reading assessment while providing additional experiences with informal instruments for assessing reader development.
Students are trained to be more than reading teachers; they also are trained as literacy leaders. Such preparation enables them to provide staff development and demonstration teaching for individual teachers or small groups of teachers. Students in this program are also prepared to organize and give presentations for parents and other administrators on literacy issues, analyze a school's assessment data, and provide clinical work with individual students and small groups of students.
To provide practicing and prospective teachers the opportunity to learn contemporary pedagogy in Reading, to address contemporary and controversial issues that affect public education. This program is designed to meet Virginia certification standards for reading specialists.
Reading Specialist Requirements: Education 503, 504, 510, 511, 512, and 519; English 520; and English/Language Arts 502, 514, and 516. Substitutions for listed courses must be approved by the Program Director.
Admission to a Master of Arts in Education degree program requires a baccalaureate degree from an accredited undergraduate institution with a minimum GPA of 2.75 overall and 3.0 in the major; completion of the Graduate Record Examination; submission of a writing sample of high quality; and review by an admissions committee. For experienced teachers and other individuals of exceptional promise, the admissions committee may modify the GPA requirement. Prospective graduate students are required to provide three recommendations from individuals familiar with their work, scores from Praxis I, submit a completed application for graduate admission, and provide official copies of any professional tests completed.
While the M.A.Ed.in Reading is cohort based, it has an open admissions policy. Students can enter the program at appropriate junctures during the first year of the two-year sequence.
Graduate students should select courses in their desired track in consultation with the appropriate Program Director or their advisor. Students can reasonably expect to complete the degree within a three-year period, including enrollments in fall, spring, and summer terms. Thirty (30) total semester hours are required for completion of the Master's degree. All students are expected to complete the degree within a six-year period. Students who go beyond this time limit may have to take additional courses, as determined by the Program Director.
When students have completed 24 semester hours of course work, they will be required either to take a written comprehensive examination or to complete an integrative project. A follow-up oral examination may be required.
Satisfactory progress requires a 3.00 GPA. Any student in the graduate degree program whose GPA falls below 3.00 after attempting nine or more semester hours of course work will not be in good standing and will be placed on academic warning. If, at the end of the first semester of academic warning, or any subsequent semester, the student again does not attain minimum satisfactory academic progress, he or she may be placed on academic warning a second time. If a student fails to raise his or her GPA to a 3.00 after two semesters on academic warning, he or she will be dismissed from the program.
Students dismissed from the graduate program may apply for readmission after one semester. Students seeking readmission after having been dismissed must provide evidence of an attempt to improve academic performance during their time away from the graduate program. A non-refundable fee equal to the initial admission fee must accompany the application for readmission. Students who are readmitted to the program two semesters or more after academic dismissal must meet the requirements of the graduate catalog in force when they are readmitted. Students who have been academically dismissed twice from the graduate program will not be readmitted to the program. Applications for readmission should be directed to the Neff Center for Teacher Education and will be reviewed by faculty and an admissions committee.

Yesterday we were thrilled to get our first look at the trailer for Get Him To The Greek, the comedy spinoff from Forgetting Sarah Marshall that has Russell Brand once again playing the eccentric rock star Aldous Snow, with Jonah Hill as the young record company exec charged with taking care of him. The trailer looked hilarious and insane, and the movie immediately made it to the top of our most-anticipated summer movies.
But as it turns out, the real lucky bastards were the ones who got to see the movie in its entirety. Our spy, who's going by the pen name Liam Wirberly, was at an early screening of Get Him to the Greek, and wrote in with his review. He was disappointed that the movie wasn't quite as genius as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but says the movie has a lot going for it too-- including a performance from Jonah Hill that poises him as this generation's John Candy. Check out what he had to say below.
Get Him to the Greek is kind of like The Hangover meets Almost Famous, which is a great idea in theory, but turns out just not bad in execution. The flick is a spinoff of the surprise 2008 hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but it's as much a sequel as Mallrats is to Clerks. Sure there are a few actors, characters, and nods to its previous chapter, but this is its own stand alone flick. Given that the first film was better, I think we all would've preferred the spinoff to be a Dracula puppet musical.
In a movie chock full of surprises and featuring the Apatow all stars, one of the biggest surprises of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (other than Jason Segel's full frontal) was British comic Russell Brand's performance as the sober sex maniac rocker Aldous Snow. An even bigger surprise is that director Nicholas Stoller took the ball and ran with it, churning out another flick with Aldous front and center.
Greek is the story of music nerd Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) who is sent by his a-hole record exec boss Sergio (P. Diddy) to pick up a washed-up has-been Aldous Snow in London (Paul Rudd was right, he is from London!). Aaron has three days to bring Aldous to The Greek theatre in L.A. for a ten year anniversary reunion concert to revive the label in the downtrodden economy. The problem is Aldous is fresh off an album that bombed like Hiroshima, as well as a break up with fellow pop star Jackie Q (Rose Byrne of Damages), and he's fallen hard off the wagon. It's up to Aaron to corral the rock star and his manipulating and seductive sex, drugs, and rock & roll lifestyle by any means necessary. I hesitate to call this a road movie, since Aldous & Aaron fly everywhere, but I guess it's the closest kind of thing you can compare it to. The journey from London to L.A. is ripe with outrageously funny and debauchery-filled pit stops in New York and Las Vegas. There isn't a drug that isn't taken or a random drunk slut who isn't taken advantage of.
As expected, Hill & Brand are in full force with all guns blazing bringing their comedic chops. Jonah takes on a more "adult" role, being a grounded career-minded guy and a live-in girlfriend (Elisabeth Moss of Mad Men). Being the straight man to Russell Brand's out-there eccentricity kind of lets Jonah Hill be very reminiscent of a young John Candy, a second coming I've long since been waiting for ever since Kevin James fell from grace by taking the rip-off Farley route. Russell Brand is Russell Brand; Aldous Snow is nothing more than Captain Jack Sparrow without the reluctant heroism, and though he does have his own demons and a character arc, neither get their due. The real story here is P. Diddy, who fucking owns this movie. He is playing a part he's born to play, an a-hole record exec. The character just comes naturally. At first he's just the cliché dick boss, screaming at his employees with as much stereotypical disdain as an 80's action movie police captain, but when the journey leads everybody to Vegas at the end of the second act he just explodes as a comic dynamo. Never saw that coming, and it borderline blew my mind.
Though sadly the flick does drag a bit-- it ran close to two hours--it's a rough cut four months from release so they'll no doubt tighten and sharpen come June. I couldn't help but be the slightest bit disappointed that it wasn't really phenomenal. Don't get me wrong, the flick is friggin' hilarious with cameos a plenty (even a playful jab at Best Picture Nominee Precious). It's a fun little R-rated comedy, but coming off Sarah Marshall, which I absolutely LOVE, I was expecting pure absolute genius. It needs to trim the fat for its heart to show. Coming out on June 4 and sandwiched in between Memorial Day juggernauts and The A-Team, Greek may get lost in the shuffle this summer, but I do suggest you check it out.

Mexican government officials will meet with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday regarding what a witness described as the beating of a man by U.S. agents as he was being deported to Mexico through San Ysidro.
The incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday as federal agents were sending a busload of Mexican citizens through the turnstile into Tijuana. According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, one man, identified as Agustín Castillo Hernández, 33, attempted to flee.
"ICE officers, assisted by agents from the U.S. Border Patrol, prevented the escape using necessary force," said Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for ICE.
How much force was used is in question. One witness said Castillo was kicked while on the ground.
"He tried to run and they caught him, grabbed him by the feet, then they started kicking him," said Rosario Castro, an employee of an organization that provides food, water and lodging information to deportees on the Tijuana side of the turnstile.
"They kicked his back, his arms and his legs," Castro said. "He was screaming, 'Don't hit me!' "
The incident prompted Mexican immigration officials at the border to temporarily close the turnstile; it was eventually reopened, and Castillo and others were repatriated.
Afterward, Castillo was interviewed by Mexican consular and immigration officials, and was given first aid by the latter.
"He said that he had been beaten and it had been excessive," said Alberto Díaz González, a spokesman for the Mexican Consulate in San Diego.
Diaz said Castillo had visible injuries on his face and bumps on his scalp.
Kice said Castillo had a final order of removal and had come into the agency's custody following his incarceration in the Los Angeles County jail system for resisting arrest. He had been transported south and was being deported with several other Mexican citizens.
"ICE is reviewing the incident to ensure that all actions taken conform to current ICE policies and procedures," Kice said.
Agent Mark Endicott of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector confirmed the attempted escape and that ICE and Border Patrol agents gave chase. Agents apprehended Castillo, but "the subject actively resisted," Endicott said.

The PlayStation Phone, which could very well be known as the XPERIA Play when it hits the market, isn't quite official yet and likely won't be until some time next month at the earliest. That hasn't stopped Taiwanese site ePrice from getting its hands on a PS Phone and giving it an early once-over. Some of the device's specs listed in the review include a 4-inch 854x480 display, 1GHz processor, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, dual speakers, and Gingerbread. There's also a 1500 mAh battery onboard, which should hopefully provide enough juice for you to make a phone call or two after a gaming marathon. There's a couple of short hardware tours embedded for your viewing pleasure down below, and plenty more photos at the source link.
After starring in a multitude of leaks, it seems that we know just about everything there is to know about the PlayStation Phone except for one thing: the games. We don't know if it'll be running PSOne games, PSP games, games made specifically for it, or what. The device was spotted playing Resident Evil 2 and Ridge Racer not too long ago, but those were loaded up through ROM Buddy, so it's not clear if those types of games will be officially supported on the PS Phone or not. The existence of the PlayStation Pocket app seems like an indication that either PSOne or PSP games will be playable, but we still don't know for sure. Luckily for us, Mobile World Congress is coming up fast, so hopefully we won't be left wondering about the PlayStation Phone much longer.

Regardless of whether or not President Obama's health care plans succeed, a "new" concept of health care delivery is trying to take root. I put "new" in quotation marks because in my estimation it is not entirely new, as nurses have been delivering health care this way since the days of Florence Nightingale, at the very least. But in the medical community it seems to be causing quite a stir as being novel. If you sense a bit of sarcasm on my part, you are correct; but hear me out.
The "new" concept of health care delivery I am referring to is called the Patient Centered Medical Home, which does not mean patients would be getting their health care in their homes. It means there would be a single provider's office to act as the focal point from which all other care would be directed. I explain this to my patients using the following analogy: My role as their primary care provider and my office are like the hub of a wheel. It is the "home base" to which they come when ill and from which extends the spokes of all the other providers and services they may ever encounter as we coordinate/manage their health. The principles that underlie this "new" concept are as follows:
• An interdisciplinary team guides the care in a continuous, accessible, comprehensive and coordinated manner.
• The medical home takes responsibility for coordinating patients' health care across care settings and services over time, in consultation and collaboration with the patient and/or family.
• The patient has access to the care.
• The medical home knows its patients and provides care that is whole person oriented and consistent with the patients' unique needs and preferences.
• Patients and clinicians are partners in making treatment decisions.
• Open communication between patients and the care team is encouraged and supported.
• Patients and their caregivers are supported in managing the patient's health.
• The medical home fosters an environment of trust and respect.
• The medical home provides care that is safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, patient-centered and family focused.
Aren't the above principles what (in the 1970s) the concept of the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Primary Care Provider were supposed to be? The current interest in the Patient Centered Medical Home springs from the hope that it will help contain health care costs. Our health care system is continually re-inventing the same old wheel because that is precisely what the HMO model was supposed to do. The establishment knows that patients crave a good, old-fashioned general practitioner to take care of them, to know them and their family members, to be there when they need them, and to coordinate their care. Yet, over the last many decades those practicing within the medical model still can't get it right. If only the medical model would look to its allies in nursing where these principles have been the cornerstone of our profession since time immemorial.
Nurse practitioners, with their advanced education and experience, are chomping at the bit to get this "new" model rolling and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) supports this move saying that the clinicians who will be responsible for operationalizing this model will be nurse practitioners as well as physicians. The IOM cites significant research and critical analysis supporting the ability of advanced practice nurses (nurse practitioners) to provide high quality, cost-effective health care. Some of us are one or two steps ahead of the IOM and I stand ready to extend my hand as other providers jump upon this bandwagon.

" Brand: Asda / Type: Baby Wash "
Review of Asda Little Angels Baby Soap
This is a mild and gentle soap, especially formulated for sensitive baby skin.
'Little Angels' is the Asda own label range and the packaging is a distinctive childlike design of the logo in a multicoloured font and a sweet cartoon baby image.
The soap can be found amid the other baby related toiletry item in Asda supermarkets or of course online.
**In Use**
I suffer with occasional break out of contact dermatitis and when my skin is uncomfortable, I tend to ditch all scented products and stick to baby products. As a result, there are many 'baby' toiletries in our bathroom, even though I am well past the age of having babies!
I picked up this soap recently and was interested to see that at 27p for a 100g bar, it was a fraction of the price of branded baby soaps.
In use, I have found that the white bar of soap lathers up well, something I always appreciate as living in a hard water area, this can be an issue. The lather rinses off easily, leaving no residue and my skin feels clean and lightly moisturised after used.
The scent is a light, fresh, powdery fragrance. It is in my opinion, very pleasant, but just a little too fragranced for a baby soap. Too much fragrance instantly alerts me to possible skin reactions! That said, I have suffered no problems with this soap, it cleanses well and causes no adverse reactions from my skin. I never use any soap on my face, only my body, but I would think that this would be fine as a facial soap for those who use one.
The soap is a fairly soft formula, it does dissolve very quickly if left in water, so I would advise users to keep it in a soap dish to avoid being left with a nasty, sticky soapy mess!
**Ingredients and Warnings**
I will not attempt to explain any of these ingredients, as I have no idea of what some of them are! I am sure anyone with allergies or sensitivities would be checking the packaging of any product before purchase anyway!
*Sodium Palmate , Sodium Palm Kernelate , Aqua , Parfum , Glycerin , Sodium Chloride , Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone , Linalool , Coumarin , Geraniol , Citronellol , Tetrasodium EDTA , Tetrasodium Etidronate , C.I. 77891 .
*Taken from the back of the packaging.
Asda advise that this baby soap is dermatologically & clinically tested and suitable for the whole family to use.
Asda also state that they are against animal testing and the soap is produced in the United Kingdom.
**My Thoughts and Conclusion**
In my view, this is a good quality baby soap. I have found it is a fairly long lasting soap, if kept in a soap dish. The soap does exactly what you want it to do, it cleanses and softens skin, leaving skin with a pleasant fragrance and no dryness or taut feeling.
The fragrance is a little intense for a baby product, but this is just my personal impression and I do not mean to sound detrimental to the soap itself.
At 27p, the price is a real bargain, competitors baby soaps are considerably more expensive and this is just a effective. In my opinion, this is well worth a try, whether like me you have sensitive skin or are using it for a baby.
Thank you for reading

This soap lathers up well. It gives off a lovely creamy lather that is pleasant to wash and/ or bathe with. The soap is easy to hold in the hand and it's lovely to use in the bath as it just glides over the skin. When I wash my daughter with this she laughs and smiles, I think she actually enjoys bathing with this! The soap is very moisturising. After use the skin feels soft, smooth and gently cleansed. It cleanses as well as the more expensive soaps. For 17p a bar you can't go wrong. It doesn't irritate the skin as it is so mild and gentle. It's basically a copy of Johnson's Baby Soap, only much cheaper.
I wash my face with this when i'm being lazy. It cleanes my face okay but it does dry out my facial skin so I wouldn't recommend using this on your face on a daily basis. Now and again would be okay though. It can also make your facial skin feel a little "tight", so that's why I only use it on my face occasionally. It doesn't dry out the skin on my body though. My body feels great after use and very clean. It also deodorises well.
A decent sized bar for the price, it does the job anyway. One bar lasts a good while but I would suggest using a soap dish as it can crumble if left in water. There's nothing worse than a mushy soap!
Try it, for the price you can't go wrong.
I have very sensitive skin indeed that needs no real excuse to act up! It's not helped by the amount of perfumed products I use and showering/bathing as often I do. I guess I'm actually over the top with my cleaning and beauty regime to be honest with myself and you lol.
For this reason from time to time I do 'go back to basics'. I do buy unscented soaps or baby one's. My thinking is if a baby soap is gentle enough for a babies it's going to be for me too!
However the first time I used this soap was on my friends son. I was babysitting him, I bathed him and this was the soap in his bag to use on him his mother (my friend provided for me to use lol). After using it on him and perusing Asda I bought the same one as it's all they actually had that day on the shelves (in baby form) so I give you a review from a child's perspective (lol) and then the big kids one (mine lol).
The Packaging....
Light blue, oblong plastic packet. On the front in white and light blue writing I'm told it is Little Angels Soap and that it is 'a mild and gentle soap specifically formulated to gentle cleanse baby's skin without causing dryness'. At the bottom of the packet I'm told 'it's my bathtime', there is drawn on picture of what appears to be a little boy, I'm told it's Dermatologically and clinically tested and the weight is displayed (100g), ingredients are listed as are contact details for Asda (shops own product) and I'm told Asda is against animal tested and funds research into alternatives and there is a drawing of like a rabbit on there and a few white circles (that also adorn the front) and finally there is a bar-code on there. Simple straightforward packaging this is. The soap itself is white and quite thick and Asda Little Angels is engraved into one side along with a picture of a rabbit.
A Bit About The Product According To The Back Of The Packet....
Caring for baby little angels mild and gentle soap has been specially formulated to cleanse baby's delicate skin without causing dryness. Caring for all the family this gentle baby soap is ideal for the whole family. Remember safety first keep out of reach of babies and small children.
Using It.....
Well as I have said the first person I used this on was my friends little boy (she usually uses this) in his bath. Ok he was filthy and I found this to lather up gently directly on to his skin with a very gentle fragrance I could barely detect. I sniffed the soap before I used it and it certainly had a stronger aroma when not in use than in it did when it was.
However it cleaned grease and grime and whatever greasy was all over his arms (lol) really well and he didn't seem at all bothered by it one bit. I was impressed at it's cleaning ability and the fact that even him splashing the water about with the soapy residue in it never seemed to upset his eyes and we had no tears or tantrums!
He was left with soft enough skin. I mean no different to usual, it didn't feel overly hydrated and/or moisturised but he looked clean and fresh to be sure, his skin wasn't dried out and the only thing lacking really was a fresh 'baby' smell'. He didn't really smell of anything but as I say I did feel he was clean.
Using it on me was much the same as on him really. I used it in the bath and in the shower and I found it to lather up rather quickly but it didn't feel overly rich or kind really. It just felt like it was doing a job. The smell once again was not really there though I did feel clean and fresh, found it easy to shave my bits and bobs with and when I finished I rinsed it off my skin easily leaving no feeling of residue and I felt fresh and clean. My skin (like my friends son) never felt dried out and wasn't really moisturised and all I can say is my skin was in the same condition as prior to washing with it really...although I was definitely cleaner!
A decent soap apart from a lack of smell to it. It's ok to use and doesn't harm the skin and is as it says it is...mild and gentle. It works at cleansing the skin very well and is a real economy buy not just cos of the price it costs to purchase one but also cos it doesn't melt to mush when it sees water. It holds it's own and lasts a long time without crumbling or going to sludge and leaving nasty residue anywhere it shouldn't! A decent buy and worth a go!
Only available in Asda priced at 17p a bar.

Toyota Motor Corp.'s "hybrid czar" and product planning manager Satoshi Ogiso hs announced that the company has delayed production of its 4th generation Prius (code-named 690A) in order to make sure that they can achieve better mileage and fuel efficiency than ever before. To do this, Toyota's engineers have been working to perfect a their plan to raise fuel efficiency with a "new gas engine with thermal efficiency rates up from the current rate of 38.55 to above 40%," he stated. "Higher thermal efficiency means more energy is captured to power the wheels, and less is lost through heat. We need to prioritize fuel efficiency"
As a result, the cars debut will be delayed until December 2015. Word has it that the new hybrid system will be "smaller, lighter and more efficient." In addition, Ogiso noted that the redesign will be incorporated into a wider range of vehicles beyond its Prius and "Camry-class" automobiles. One technology won't be deployed in the 4th-generation hybrid system, however are new semiconductors made of silicon carbide, which won't be available for production until 2020. According to Ogiso, they will possess "the potential to deliver 10% improved fuel efficiency because "less energy is lost when the battery powers the car's electric motor or when the regenerative brakes recharge the battery."
The first Prius cars debuted in Japan in 1997, making it the first mass-produced hybrids by any auto manufacturer. Sales went worldwide in 2000, and since then it has been sold in more than 80 countries, with total sales reaching 1 million cars by May 2008, and 2 million in September 2010, prior to the introduction of its extended hatchback wagon and Prius C in 2011, and the plug-in Prius in 2012. By last June, Toyota had more than 3.8 million in cumulative sales in June of last year. The Japan and US have accounted for the bulk of those figures.

Nats set to host Military Appreciation Night
Nats set to host Military Appreciation Night
A day after the United States brought Osama bin Laden to justice, the Nationals will stage Military Appreciation Night in Monday's series finale against the defending World Series champion Giants.
The Nationals are offering thousands of free tickets to veterans in honor of the occasion. Military personnel can receive up to four complimentary tickets by just showing up at the box office with a valid ID.
"It's extremely important to us," said Nationals director of community relations Israel Negron. "Ever since we came to Washington D.C., the military community has been important to us. The Pentagon is right down the street.
"We've really focused on it the last couple of years, and we've worked closely with the Department of Defense, the USO and others in the military community. One of the things we've focused on is making sure we're taking care of military families. And oftentimes the family member is here and the service member is deployed elsewhere."
The Nationals have held Military Appreciation Night before, but Monday night coincides with the introduction of the 2011 Patriotic Series. Games in the series will feature ticket offers to encourage fans to celebrate the American spirit by enjoying the national pastime at Nationals Park. New uniforms, featuring the stars and stripes Curly "W," will also be unveiled Monday and will be worn during future Patriotic Series games.
Future Patriotic Series games include Memorial Day on May 30 against the Phillies, Independence Day on July 4 against the Cubs, Labor Day on Sept. 5 against the Dodgers, and Heroes Day on Sept. 11 against the Astros.
Washington has been donating 29 tickets to wounded servicemen and their families to every game, and soldiers have come from nearby facilities like Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the National Naval Medical Center and Fort Belvoir.
"Getting people to the park from the military is important to us on a daily basis, but it takes on an additional significance on a day like this," Negron said. "We expect Monday to be special because they'll be cheering on their own."
The Nationals hope that their stadium -- with the Capitol in view on the horizon -- can serve as a sanctuary for military personnel and their families.
"Baseball can play such a key role in being a fun place for kids to go -- both when a parent is deployed and also when they come back home," Negron said. "That readjustment can be hard, and we think of the ballpark as a great place for that family to go. The beauty of baseball is that you can sit down and have a conversation while the game is going on."
Other patriotic efforts already in place at Nationals games including the third-inning military salute, which occurs at every home game, and the "Me and a Friend" initiative, which offers military children complimentary tickets for themselves and friends to each Sunday home game.

First and foremost if this rumor is true, Rihanna is a HUGE step up from Kristen Stewart! Just saying…
Reports are saying that when Rihanna found out about Robert Pattinson's now ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart cheating on him, she sent him a few text messages to cheer him up.
A source from OK Magazine said, "She got Rob's phone number from a mutual friend and has been sending him sexy, funny texts to cheer him up. They've met several times at award bashes over the years. RiRi thinks he's very cute, but nothing ever came of it because he was attached to Kristen and it's not her style to steal someone else's man."
According to the magazine Robert's friends are encouraging him meet up with Rihanna, but he isn't fully down with the idea.
One of his friend's told OK magazine, "At first, Rob thought someone Punk'd him. Eventually Rihanna convinced him she was for real, but Rob has been resisting her. Rihanna would love to meet up with him. And we keep telling him he has to start enjoying life again. What better person to help cheer him up than Rihanna?"
Robert has never really shown interest in Rihanna except when he admitted to being a fan of her music video, "We Found Love."
"I like Rihanna's ['We Found Love'] video as well. I like whoever directed that; it's cool," Pattinson told MTV recently. "It's got, like, good colors. It's pretty."
