Extended Downtime at Grants.gov
Grants.gov plans to take their service offline from Friday, December 6, 2013 at 12:01 am until Sunday, December 8, 2013 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time to perform critical maintenance (Grants.gov Calendar).
To accommodate this extended downtime, we have made some adjustments to due dates, including moving the standard December 8 Fellowship due date to December 10 (NOT-OD-14-022).
Don't Forget Your Inclusion Data
The new FORMS-C application packages use a different approach for collecting inclusion data. In addition to reformatting the data tables themselves, inclusion data is no longer collected in PDF attachments. Instead, each package includes new Planned Enrollment Report and Cumulative Inclusion Enrollment forms. These forms allow NIH to collect the data in a format that can be leveraged throughout the lifecycle of the application/grant.
The forms are included in the application packages as 'Optional' and eRA systems no longer provide an error when inclusion data is omitted. However, our policies on when to include the data in your application have not changed. Applicants must carefully follow application guide and supplemental instructions to ensure the new forms are included when needed. A handy decision tree was recently posted that can also help determine whether the inclusion reporting policies apply to your specific application.
FORMS-C Budget Forms and PD/PIs
The latest version of the R&R Budget form developed by Grants.gov includes some changes in how data is entered. Although the PD/PI name provided on the SF424 R&R cover form is still used to auto-populate the first Senior/Key Person entry in Section A, the Project Role filed for that entry no longer defaults to 'PD/PI' and must be manually entered. As a result, more applicants have been running into the following error:
There must be a Personnel entry (with a role of "PD/PI") listed for the PI or PD on the 424 RR Detailed Budget Page (section A&B) for budget year <x>. (5.7.1)
It is critical to type the string 'PD/PI' – NOT 'PI' or 'PI/PD' or 'Principal Investigator' or 'Co-PD/PI' – you must use 'PD/PI' or you will get that dreaded error. So, please add this to your pre-submission application checks to avoid a corrective submission.
K, F, T and D Programs Moving to Updated Electronic Application Forms (FORMS-C)
A reminder notice regarding the transition of Career Development (Ks), Fellowship (Fs), Training (Ts/Ds) programs to updated electronic application forms has been posted (NOT-OD-14-027).
More Multi-project Activity Codes Moving to Electronic Submission
The second group of activity codes in our transition timeline (G12, P30, P40, P41, P42, P51, P60, R28, S06, U10, U41, U42, U45, U56, UC7) move to electronic application submission for due dates on/after January 25, 2014 (NOT-OD-13-075).
If you are planning to apply to a multi-project program in the near future, you may want to become familiar with the resources available to help you through the electronic submission process:
I hope you have a great holiday season! Catch you in 2014!
Budgets Make My Brain Hurt
I have budget phobia. There I said it. It is a bit embarrassing to admit – I work with grants after all, but it's true. I'm actually pretty good at math, I like money and I know quite a bit electronic grant application submission - but there is something about the mix that makes my brain hurt. I think it's the lingo – F&A rates, direct costs, modified total direct costs, fringe benefits, cost principles – yikes!
When we were building ASSIST, I knew that our help desk would get more content and policy questions about application preparation, some of which would find their way to my desk. What I wasn't prepared for was how many of those questions would be related to budgets. Thankfully, NIH employs lots of grants management and policy professionals that not only know the budget lingo and what all those crazy terms mean (without looking them up like I do), they actually like to talk about budgets – go figure.
I know ASSIST and how eRA systems process multi-project applications. They know budgets. Together we've prepared the following ASSIST Budget FAQs that we hope you will find useful.
Q: What is the best way to structure my multi-project application from a budget perspective?
A: NIH has provided a basic framework for multi-project applications. However, there is some flexibility within that framework regarding how to put together an application. Some applicants decide to structure their applications with the applicant organization leading every component within the application. Other applicants have collaborating organizations lead a subset of components within their applications.
Many factors can influence how you decide to structure your application. An application's budget is important, but it should not be the primary consideration in your decision. Funding Opportunity Announcement guidelines, NIH policy, your own organization's policies, the role any collaborating organizations will play in the proposed research, where the research will be carried out, and other factors should also be considered. In the end, your multi-project application should be structured to reflect the scientific and administrative needs of the proposed research.
Once you decide how you are going to structure your application, filling out the component forms (including budgets) is fairly straightforward. Treat each component like it is a standalone application. If the applicant organization is leading a component, then all the forms in that component should be completed from the perspective of the applicant organization. If a collaborating organization is leading a component, then all the forms in that component should be completed from the perspective of the collaborating organization.
Q: When a collaborating organization leads an entire component, is it still considered a subaward/consortium to the applicant organization?
A: Yes. The R&R Cover form within each component is used to identify which organization is leading the component. Having a DUNS on the component R&R Cover that is different than the DUNS provided on the Overall R&R Cover form informs NIH systems that the budget information included in the component should be considered subaward/consortium costs to the applicant organization. Even when a collaborating organization leads a component, the applicant organization is still ultimately responsible for the entire application.
Q: When a collaborating organization leads an entire component, should the Budget Type on the R&R Budget form be set to 'Project' or 'Subaward/Consortium'?
A: ASSIST automatically marks the Budget Type field on the R&R budget form to 'Project'. The 'Project' designation simply indicates it is the main budget for the component. NIH systems use the DUNS number and not the Budget Type field to determine if the budget form is completed from the perspective of the applicant organization or a collaborating organization.
Q: Why doesn't the Overall component include a budget form?
A: Electronic multi-project applications are made up of an Overall component that describes the entire application and some number of additional components where the work is actually carried out. Although the SF424 R&R Cover form includes an estimated Project Funding section that must be completed, the Overall component doesn't have a dedicated budget form that applicants can fill out. Instead, applicants fill out an R&R Budget form for each of the additional components and any related subaward budget forms. NIH systems present a summary of the budget information with the Overall component.
Q: How are the system-generated summaries that are displayed with the Overall component calculated?
A: Assembled application images include three budget summaries: a Composite Application Budget Summary, a Component Budget Summary and a Categories Budget Summary. A resource that describes the different parts of a multi-project assembled application image (including the various system-generated summaries) can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/ElectronicReceipt/files/Electronic_Multi-project_Application_Image_Assembly.pdf.
Q: Why don't budgets marked Subaward/Consortium show in the Component Budget Summary?
A: The summaries provide a roll-up of the activity across the components of the application. The Component Budget Summary is just that - a summary of the main budgets for each component. It is not meant to be a listing of the cumulative budget pages of every budget form included in the application. The detailed budget forms supporting the summaries are included in the application image within their components.
Q: How do you change the DUNS and Organization information displayed on a component budget form?
A: In ASSIST, the DUNS and Organization Name fields from the R&R Cover automatically populate the DUNS and Organization Name fields on the R&R Budget form. Although the fields on the budget form are not editable, edits to the R&R Cover form are reflected on the R&R Budget form.
Q: Why is the R&R Budget form tab missing from my component?
A: You may not have the authority to view or edit budget data for the component. Have a Signing Official (SO) or someone with the Access Maintainer role check your privileges using the Manage Access action in ASSIST.
Q: How do you add subaward budget forms to a component in ASSIST?
A: Use the Add Optional Form action available while on the component Summary tab to add additional budget forms for subawards. ASSIST automatically marks the Budget Type field of each subaward budget form to Subaward/Consortium. Carefully enter the DUNS number of the subaward organization. eRA systems use the DUNS information when doing summary roll-ups.
Q: Does ASSIST automatically add up the costs of subawards within a component to populate line F5 – Other direct Costs Subaward/Consortium/Contractual Costs on the main budget form?
A: No. Remember, F5 - Other Direct Costs Subaward/Consortium/Contractual Costs can include contractual costs in addition to the Subaward/Consortium costs found on the subaward budget forms; auto calculating this field would limit the ability to add those additional costs. The total direct and indirect costs for all subaward/consortium budgets within a component (along with appropriate contractual costs) must be manually entered on line F5 of the component's main budget (the one with Budget Type Project).
Q: How can I tell if my application falls within the direct cost limit designated in an FOA?
A: NIH continues to support the policy established in 2004 regarding applications that involve consortium/contractual F&A costs (see NOT-OD-05-004). This policy allows applicants to exclude consortium/contractual F&A costs when determining if an application falls at or beneath any applicable direct cost limit.
Although the Composite Application Budget Summary found in the assembled application image does not include a line item specific to this calculation, you can take the Direct Costs line item from the summary and manually subtract the F&A amounts of all direct consortiums to the applicant organizations.
Q: How do I complete the R&R Budget form for a component or subaward that is not active for all periods of the entire application?
A: Simply fill out the minimal required information for the inactive budget periods and complete all information for the active periods.
For example, let's say Project-004 of your multi-project application does not start until budget period 2. In the Project-004 R&R Budget form for period 1 you would:
Complete the remaining budget periods following standard instructions.
Q: Our organization's F&A rate uses a modified total direct cost base which excludes sub-recipient charges after the first $25,000. How do I account for the first $25,000 in my multi-project budget?
A: Many negotiated F&A rate agreements use a modified total direct cost (MTDC) base rate and include the following language:
"Modified total direct costs, consisting of all salaries and wages, fringe benefits, materials, supplies, services, travel and subgrants and subcontracts up to the first $25,000 of each subgrant or subcontract (regardless of the period covered by the subgrant or subcontract). Modified total direct costs shall exclude equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, student tuition remission, rental costs of off-site facilities, scholarships, and fellowships as well as the portion of each subgrant and subcontract in excess of $25,000."
Section H - Indirect Costs on the R&R Budget forms allow you to specify an Indirect Cost Type, Rate and Base and multiple entries in this section are allowed. The first $25,000 of the Total Direct and Indirect Costs of each Subaward/Consortium organization for which you have an agreement can be included in the Indirect Cost Base. This is pretty straight forward and works well for single project applications. However, it is a bit more complicated with multi-project applications. Let's look at a few scenarios.
Scenario 1: Organization A is the applicant organization on a P01 and has structured their application such that they lead all the components of the application. Organization B is a subaward on Project-001 with a total cost of $50,000 and a subaward on Project-002 with a total cost of$25,000.
Although A has listed B under two projects, generally A can only apply the first $25,000 of organization B's total costs to the Indirect Cost Base.
Scenario 2: Organization A is the applicant organization on a P01 and has structured their application such that they lead all but two components of the application. Organization B leads the remaining two components with total costs of $50,000 and $25,000. None of the components have subawards.
In this scenario, Organization B is actually a subaward to organization A and the Overall budget (calculated by eRA systems and presented as the Composite Budget Summary) should allow for the first $25,000 of organization B's costs to be applied to the Indirect Cost Base. However, an issue has been identified with the system-generated Composite Budget Summary. When an application includes components that are for organizations that have different DUNS than the Applicant Organization DUNS, the Indirect Cost calculation may appear less than expected since the first $25,000 of those organization costs are not applied to the applicant budget. No action is required from the applicant, although applicants always have the option to document any concerns over system-calculated information in the budget justification of any component. The application review is not affected by this issue and NIH will correct the budget calculations administratively.
Q: Based on internal organization rules, we do not allow collaborating organizations to lead components within our multi-project applications. For components where the project lead and all incurred costs are actually at a collaborating organization, how do I fill out the budget form? ASSIST does not allow the R&R Cover of a component and the main R&R Budget form to have different DUNS.
A: If you feel strongly about retaining leadership of all components, then you will need to fill out the Project budget for the component using the information from the applicant organization with the minimum required information and fully complete the subaward budget for the collaborating organization.
Q: Should a budget phobic person ever talk to more than one grants management person at a time?
A: No. When you ask a question, you will get what sounds like a reasonable answer and then the 'except whens' start flowing...my institute does it this way...mine allows this but not that unless it's a leap year... and they don't notice you are now cowering in the corner rubbing your temples. Of course, I'm just kidding...they did, in fact, notice my cowering and temple rubbing. They also said something that made me feel surprisingly better.
"There really isn't such a thing as a 'perfect' application budget. Instruct applicants to follow the general NIH guidelines and any FOA-specific instructions. The budget needs to be reasonably close and must convince reviewers and staff that they have a good sense of the actual costs. Rarely is an application awarded exactly as it is presented in the application budget. Once a funding decision is made, grants management folks get busy with their spreadsheets and rule books and make necessary adjustments."
With that, I took a deep breath and my brain didn't hurt quite so much.
Gearing Up for FORMS-C
Are you ready for our move to updated electronic application forms (FORMS-C)?
We've been busy preparing for our transition to updated application forms for most grant programs (NOT-OD-13-074). Our FOAs now have FORMS-C application packages and old B1 and B2 packages have been set to expire.
Here are some updated resources you may want to check out:
Watch out for the dreaded 'The Closing Date of the grant opportunity for which you have applied has already passed and the grantor agency is no longer accepting applications.' message from Grants.gov. This message is sent under multiple conditions. In addition to being sent after an FOA has closed/expired, Grants.gov also gives this error when the FOA is still active but the application is submitted using a forms package attached to the FOA that has closed or not yet open. Basically, if you use B packages too late or C packages too early, you may get that message.
If you are submitting to one of the few NIH programs (Fellowship, Career Development, Training and Small Business) that aren't moving to FORMS-C yet, use the B package available with your FOA. Otherwise…please, please, please use B application packages for due dates before September 25, 2013 and C packages for due dates on/after September 25, 2013.
ASSIST Has Lots to Say
My dad is a collector of quotes. He keeps long lists of them and every year at Christmas he presents me with a bundle of purple day planner pages with my name on the top, a little picture of Tigger in the corner (I'm a huge Tigger fan), and one of the quotes across the bottom. I am blessed to be able to face each day with a little 'hug' from my dad.
Last Tuesday (the day I gave the ASSIST webinar), this was the quote I saw…
'You can promote and explain a software product, but it eventually speaks for itself.'
Sometimes dad has really freaky timing! After all the requirements gathering, system building, pilot conducting, feedback gathering and system tweaking, it's finally time to let ASSIST speak for itself.
The September 25, 2013 due date for multi-project P01, P20, P50, U19, P2C and U2C is just around the corner (note P2C and U2C are new activity codes that will be used as the multi-project equivalent of R24 and U24). Many of you are likely getting into ASSIST for the first time to prepare your applications.
Here's a list of handy ASSIST Links & Resources:
Yesterday I asked a pilot applicant what advice she'd pass along to new ASSIST users. Denise is a wise woman...
I must admit that we did get a bit carried away with the email notifications and we know we still need to make some changes in that area. Yes, sometimes ASSIST has too much to say.
Size Matters
For nearly a decade our application guides have included specific formatting instructions for documents included with applications. We've been very specific on such things as the font type (Arial, Helvetica, Palatino Linotype, or Georgia), font size (11 points or larger), type density (15 characters per inch), line spacing (no more than six lines per inch), margins (at least one-half inch on top bottom, left and right) and paper size (standard paper size of 8.5 x 11 inches).
If you forgot (or never knew) that last bit about paper size and you submitted an application after July 18, then our systems may have reminded you with the following error message:
Filename <filename> cannot be larger than U.S. standard Letter paper size of 8.5 x 11 inches. Please see our PDF guidelines at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/ElectronicReceipt/pdf_guidelines.htm for additional information. (0.1.7)
We set formatting requirements for a number of reasons. Perhaps the most important one being our strict page limits for Introduction, Specific Aims, Research Strategy and other documents.
Before July we did not systematically enforce the 8.5 x 11 inch paper size. In some cases, our systems even resized documents to the appropriate size for you. Consequently, we had cases where applications got through our systems that were returned post-submission because of incorrect page size or because, after system resizing, the font was no longer in the acceptable range. Applicants were upset because our validations did not catch the issues up front and provide the opportunity to make corrections before the deadline. So, we implemented the systematic enforcement of 8.5 x 11 paper size.
What we didn't realize was just how many documents we receive that are larger (often very slightly) than 8.5 x 11 inches. The most common offenders – Letters of Support, Cover Letters, Appendices and other places where scanning or concatenating from a variety of sources is common. You all apparently do a good job at self-policing paper size for the documents with page limits (kudos to you).
So, here's what we are going to do…we will continue to systematically enforce paper size. However, we will not throw an error until the file is well out of range (bigger than 9 x 12 or 12 x 9 inches). NIH staff will continue to strictly enforce 8.5 x 11 inches for the attachments with page limits. We are phasing out the resizing of documents. If you submit an attachment that is bigger than 8.5 x 11 inches and the assembled image doesn't look quite right (e.g., text falls of the page or our footers overwrite some of your text) we will not consider it a system issue and will not allow corrections after the deadline. As always, we highly recommend submitting early and carefully checking your application image in eRA Commons before the deadline when corrections are still possible.
We plan to have the validation change in place by the end of this week (August 23, 2013) for applications that use FORMS-B application packages and by the end of next week (August 30, 2013) for applications that use FORMS-C application packages. We have taken steps through timing and monitoring to ensure that all applications for the same opportunity/due date have equal systematic enforcement of business rules.
We have not changed our policy. We still expect a paper size of 8.5 x 11 inches or 11 x 8.5 inches for all attachments (yes, landscape is OK as long as you keep it to 11 x 8.5). We just want to acknowledge that size matters, but it matters more for some documents than others. We think this is a compromise we can all move forward with.

NIH eSubmission Items of Interest - June 17, 2013
July 5th R01 Deadline is On With the July 4th federal holiday falling on Thursday, it's quite tempting to make an extra-long weekend and take Friday off, too. Don't forget that NIH's July 5th R01 deadline will take place as scheduled - even if your own organization is closed. Get your applications in early and enjoy some time off!!
Application Form Update A-B-Cs It's a basic fact of government forms – they have a limited shelf life. In fact, agencies are required to seek reauthorization from the Office of Management and Budget at least every three years to continue to use existing forms. Add to that the need to update forms to address programmatic and reporting changes and it seems like form versions are continually in flux. We've already been through a few form updates since NIH began to transition grant applications to electronic submission in 2005. If you've been doing this as long as I have you may recall the 'ADOBE-FORMS-A' transition in 2009 when we moved from PureEdge to Adobe-based forms or the 'ADOBE-FORMS-B' transition in 2010 when we implemented the 'Enhancing Peer Review' changes. Now, it's time for FORMS-C (see NOT-OD-13-074).
For many agencies form updates aren't a big deal. They have a small number of programs and their announcements have single due dates. They can simply let current FOAs run their course and use new forms the next time they post an opportunity. NIH isn't like many agencies. We have over 600 active Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) at any given time, hundreds of activity codes with various standard due dates, and opportunities that are open for 3 years. This makes updating forms a major undertaking for NIH and confusing for applicants.
I can't do anything about the need to update forms, but let's see if I can help avoid some of the confusion through this Q&A…
Form updates are not anyone's idea of a good time, but they don't have to be a huge source of stress. We got through the A and B transitions and we'll get through the C transition, too.
The Same But Different We are starting to receive some inquiries regarding the new look and feel of Grants.gov application form packages. Don't panic - we haven't jumped the gun and started posting FORMS-C form packages yet. However, Grants.gov has updated the initial Grant Application Package screen used to manage the forms within existing packages. The changes are actually quite nice. Mandatory forms are now automatically included in your application without dragging them from one side of the page to the other and optional forms can be added with a simple check-box. Each form is also hyperlinked for easy access. Basic opportunity information (opportunity title, offering agency, etc.) remains at the top of the screen. This is also where you can find the Competition ID which, at least for now, should say ADOBE-FORMS-B1 or B2.
Since it is the exact same opportunity with the same underlying application forms just presented in a slightly different way, you can continue to use the same application package for your submission regardless of whether the old or new Grant Application Package screen is used.
Stop By and Say Hi If you are attending NIH's Regional Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration in Baltimore at the end of the month, please stop by and say hi. Scarlett Gibb, Joe Schumaker, Vera Holder and I will be at the eRA booth and would love to see you.
Take care,

Pollster: Younger voters didn't decide outcome of Prop. 30
Even more significant than the youth vote was the impact of ethnic-minority voters. They turned out in record numbers and tended to oppose Republican positions, the duo said.
"I think the 2012 election in California may prove to be a turning point in California politics," DiCamillo said of the significance of Latino, Asian American, African American and other minority voters, who cast about four of every 10 ballots statewide.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
BLADENBORO - Work continued Sunday to clean up and repair the site of a nine-car train derailment in Bladenboro.
The 109-car CSX freight train was crossing a trestle near the Main Street crossing about 3:30 p.m. Saturday when the nine cars fell into a swampy area below, said Capt. Rodney Hester of the Bladen County Sheriff's Office.
It appears that the trestle collapsed as the cars were crossing, Hester said.
One of the derailed cars contained ammonia, which prompted the evacuation of about 300 people in roughly a half-mile radius, authorities said.
The ammonia was not leaking and CSX and Bladen County authorities opted to leave the car at the scene.
Plans are to load the ammonia onto another car later this week, Hester said.
CSX hopes to have the track repaired by midweek, a spokeswoman said Sunday.
The tracks are closed to freight carriers, the spokeswoman said.
A regional Hazardous Materials Team, which includes members of the Fayetteville Fire Department, inspected the scene Saturday and said the ammonia was not leaking from the car.
The rail cars are sitting upright now, Hester said, and some have been moved off the tracks.
Most of the evacuated residents went to stay with friends or family, but about 35 people were taken to Bladenboro Middle School.
They were allowed to return to their homes late Saturday, Hester said.

"I could not be happier! Our invitations arrived very quickly. Everything was done extremely well, from the packaging and invoicing to the quality of the invitations. I have never had such quick, professional service and will definitely be using Tinyprints again! Thank you for making this part of the party stress free!"
"Lacy Vines is an excellent design which pops even more when you upgrade the paper. It shimmers & sparkles in all the right places. This card is for our annual office Christmas Dinner and sets the tone for the semi-formal event. Our background is gunmetal with gunmetal envelopes. So far I've received many compliments...with more to come!"
"The design is just what I needed and the wording was perfect. The heavy cardstock and rounded edges I chose this time is fantastic and makes the card feel like a coaster it is so nice and thick The red envelopes are a lovely quality as well and as usual the delivery was spot -on super speedy and efficient. Very happy with this card and with the oh so efficient tiny prints service as always."
"Love Love Love this invite. I went with the thickest stock and its thick.... thicker than I imagined but very nice. I used this stock as I was having a smaller dinner party. This design is fun and elegantly festive."
"Turned out great. It's a very sturdy invitation and nice to go back to real invitations vs evites. It looks just like it does on screen. Next time I would probably add one of the papers with a glossy or shimmery shine to add that pop."

Any morse code blink? It can point to errors. You can manually eject CD, just look for a hole in the drive (usually next to the eject button) and poke something sharp and sturdy in. Hmm, what can I buy with £5k ...
I didn't know laptops did this, I need to get with the times huh I'll have a little read with Google and then have another look at the laptop. What to buy with 5K... I'd go with a Blue Tree Python.
The laptop does blink the low battery light (one long blink) but I can't find any codes for these blinks? EDIT: Actually I don't it was any sort of blink code after all, The lights just stay on if it is plugged into the AC adapter.

When Crystal Kelley agreed to carry someone else's baby, she didn't, in her words, "dot every 'i' and cross every 't.'"
That turned her surrogacy dream into a nightmare.
Surrogacy has become an increasingly popular way of having a baby. In 2010 there were 1,448 babies born to surrogates, up from 738 babies in 2004, according to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies. Celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker and Giuliana Rancic have helped increase awareness by using a surrogate.
In a surrogacy arrangement, a woman agrees to carry someone else's baby for a fee, which is usually between $20,000 to $25,000 for a single fetus. The egg and sperm can come from the couple who hire the surrogate, or a donor egg or sperm are used.
Sometimes parents know their surrogate -- she might be a sister or a friend. Other times the parents meet the surrogate through an agency.
Surrogates and intended parents must be well matched, says Melissa Brisman, who practices reproductive law in New Jersey and runs a surrogacy agency.
For example, if parents feel strongly they would terminate the pregnancy if a fetal abnormality were found, they shouldn't be matched with a surrogate who is adamantly opposed to abortion.
"You want to flesh out those issues and make sure you're on the same page," Bisman says.
Serious conflicts between surrogates and intended parents are relatively rare; Brisman estimates that out of thousands of surrogate pregnancies, only about a dozen have ended up in court.
But when problems do arise, as in Kelley's case, the ending can be disastrous. Kelley says she assumed the parents were, like her, against abortion because the mother said her frozen embryos were her "babies" and she had to give them a chance at life. But when the fetus Kelley was carrying turned out to have birth defects, the parents wanted to abort and she didn't.
Making assumptions when going into a surrogacy arrangement is not a good idea, says Brisman, a founding member of the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys.
Here are her tips for having a surrogacy arrangement with a happy ending.
1. Each side should have an attorney
The surrogate and the intended parents should each have their own lawyer review the contract.
2. Understand the limits of the contract
Even if the surrogate signs a contract agreeing to abortion if there's a fetal abnormality, she can later change her mind. "You can't force her to have an abortion," Brisman says.
3. Agree on prenatal testing
Sometimes intended parents want an amniocentesis but the surrogate doesn't want the test, which would involve having a needle stuck in her stomach. The two sides should come to an agreement before the pregnancy takes place.
4. Have a full psychological evaluation
In Brisman's practice, the surrogate and intended parents sit together for five or six hours to have a full discussion on many issues, including abortion.

Darrell Sifford Memorial Prize in Journalism
Darrell Sifford Memorial Prize in Journalism
Darrell Sifford, BJ '53, was a rarity in American journalism: a columnist with the heart of a poet. A staple for readers of The Philadelphia Inquirer and other subscribing papers, his column depicted the personal struggles and triumphs that together make up the fabric of our lives.
Relationships, children, health, careers, religion, sexuality, money and his own life were the core topics through which he explored the human condition – our fears and our insecurities, our need for fulfillment and happiness, our successes and our disappointments, our vulnerabilities and our courage. Sifford's insightful and inspirational columns touched readers in such an intimate way that his accidental death in 1992 hit thousands as if they had lost a close relative.
The Darrell Sifford Memorial Prize is funded by contributions from readers of Darrell's columns. The prize is administered by the Missouri School of Journalism, Darrell's alma mater. It will recognize newspaper writing that illuminates the daily life of ordinary people and their everyday concerns.
Call for Entries
Send clippings or photocopies of five stories or columns from the calendar year 2012 to:
Darrell Sifford Memorial Prize in Journalism

Plated Greaves. Always get Plated Greaves when you are against a hero like Deadwood.By the way, GL to oneshot solo Plague Rider with Steamboots, Ring of the Teacher and armor lvl 3+ with Deadwood Punch.

Check the Sticky Threads for additional information on this sub-forum and the Announcement Threads for more information about Heroes of Newerth as a whole!
I finally got to play him for the first time since the patch yesterday. It was a win, but I wasn't extraordinarily useful like I usually am on PR. Granted, I wasn't able to take a solo side lane, but PR seems now like he's at least closer to the "sweet spot". He is a rare hero that's strong in all phases of the game but never gamebreaking, and too much fiddling with his skills may break that balance.
IMO he should stay as he is right now for at least another 6 months before any further changes are considered.
why your poll not have "balanced"? I'm voting borderline as it is the closest thing.
I must admit I don't understand this topic at all. There is no conversation about balance at all. What is the definition of "balanced" ? Is it W/L 50% ?
Looking at armour and saying "ZOMG, it 'counters' some items" is meaningless. Bound eye counters wards and shrouds... oh no ..., The real conversation is about teams and team picks.
Arguing about whether an ultimate is too good, denying is too good, or if movespeed is too much.... all pointless. We can argue about wretched hag having rune control, imba slows or keeper's ents all day long.
If your opposing team builds their strategy around heavy armour reduction and dps, why shouldn't PR be a good pick because of the armour?
If the opposing team is full of pebbles, pyro's and other heavy nukers then how much use is the armour ?
The reason why PR is a good pick ?
I think it is because the hero has many synergies with other hero's - keeper ult + PR ult, PR slow + swiftblade spin, PR Ult + Termpest Ult. Need a babysitter ? PR can help control the lane. The list goes on. This is the real reason why PR wins games ... oh and ...
The REAL reason why I think PR is a good pick (as someone else said) is for the same reason why rhapsody/glacius is a useful pick at competitive levels. WARDS. This is a hero who can buy wards all game long and still stay useful with just a set of boots and STILL combo with all these other hero's - WIN !
I must admit, I rarely see a plague rider go 22/0/5 in a game. Unlike semi-carries like hag, PR just doesn't snowball in the same way. PR however wins games in a different way - by being synergistic and a team player.
Should we nerf a hero that promotes team play ? I dunno...
Lich solo.The REAL reason why I think PR is a good pick (as someone else said) is for the same reason why rhapsody/glacius is a useful pick at competitive levels. WARDS. This is a hero who can buy wards all game long and still stay useful with just a set of boots and STILL combo with all these other hero's - WIN !Imbalance does not only lie in those heroes that can snowball or net a lot of kills. It is why Rhapsody was broken, or Hellbringer was/is broken. Etc.I must admit, I rarely see a plague rider go 22/0/5 in a game. Unlike semi-carries like hag, PR just doesn't snowball in the same way. PR however wins games in a different way - by being synergistic and a team player.If cluelessness was ever so perfectly embodied by someone, that person would honestly be you.Should we nerf a hero that promotes team play ? I dunno...
Sigh.... uhmmm thanks for the response I guess.
I think you completely misunderstood my point. All I read is conflicting views about movespeed being too much or too little, or armour needing a nerf or that the nerf was too much. What is the BASIS for these views other than personal opinion.
Is balance about 50% W/L ratio ? I for one know it isn't. I have been part of balance teams before, and I can tell you that talking about hero's abilities in isolation will not lead to balance.
According to the (admittedly limited and almost certainly biased - just look at the phrasing) poll above, most people think Lich is not broken - you appear to think so, although I can't really tell if you were just annoyed by my post or not.
In any case I await the definition because "Lich Solo" doesn't really explain anything. Lots of hero's can solo. I think Valk is WAY more broken... but that is just my opinion.
On a side note, it saddens me that you felt the need to insult me. You are welcome to do so privately but doing so in public adds no value - I expect more from a moderator.
I'd just like to say, although this game started off as an almost direct port of DotA, it has strayed slowly but surely, with that accelerating as of late. Currently, 43/91 heroes are S2 creations, whether mashups of original DotA heroes or completely original. I feel like claims such as 'Lich's deny is way better than PRs' holds absolutely no ground in these discussions, because while originally based off of Lich, obviously HoN is way faster paced and almost half of the hero pool does not exist in DotA.
They are VERY separate entities at this point.
As far as PR goes, I feel he's much like Valkyrie. Always a safe pick, always will be a safe pick. You could bring his +armor down to 6, his MS down to 300, and up the cooldown of his deny to 50 seconds and I feel he'd still be a safe pick.
Making fantasy reality.
When you're talking about basic game mechanics (creep waves every 30 seconds, XP granted by creeps), and the very first phase of the game in a solo vs. solo situation, DotA comparisons hold up. Lich's deny is nearly half of Plague's.
HoN is not way faster-paced than DotA in the first 3 minutes of the game, unless you find a way to rush Bulwark before you're out of base.
Also, Smoke would venture to say that DotA is faster-paced in the first 3 minutes of the game.
The point you're trying to make is valid, but that does not make DotA comparisons moot. It may make them less substantial in way of holding less water, with holes born from their differences, but the argumentation is still there, if only weaker. To say that they're invalid is to place a blindfold over your eyes.
It's like saying you can't compare NYC to any other grand-scale metropolis. They're monumentally different, but the fundamentals to running any city is still there.
lich may be op in a sence that people play ap and there's 0 strategies, there's plenty strong heroes, if we keep nerfing strong heroes then we'll end up playing LoL where everything's tanky up the ass and balance changes consist of nerfing what's most played in solo queue
with these armor changes lich is still the same as he was before, nothing's gonna change, this nerf's just an inconvenience and was unnecessary, i mean it took this game such a freakin' long time to realise how strong chen is, it's really just people being stuck in the trilane mindset and lich is strong here, it's the pr0s fault for being narrow minded with their strats
... They use strats that work. Nerfing OP heroes is fine (not saying PR is "OP" but I felt he needed a few nerfs here and there), Chen/Ophelia was severely buffed but has always been considered quite solid. Metagames decide which heroes are picked though and he isn't picked in pubs or lower level play because people are afraid of micro (not that she needs heaps). Also we have been out of trilanes and into push strats for a while now (S2 seemed to force this change with bulwark and some hero changes). Its not that Lich is strong in a trilane meta, its that he can fit in almost any lineup. 0 opportunity cost.

So from what I'm gathering the problem is with his deny ability and his sustainability in lane.
What if his Extinguish was reworked somewhat... he can only deny deniable creeps. That way the lane doesn't entirely lose the EXP and the lane presence is reduced. Of course, the numbers from currentHP:Mana need to be adjusted but still.
It will allow him to not auto-win the lane with sheer level supremacy.
I hate to fall into suggestions, but the deny is his problem (if anything), not his movespeed or nuking power.
And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare.
Nightmare was nothing compared to the true horror, the crawling chaos peering into our hearts and simply whispering, 'Join me'.
So @ people who said "GL on 1 shot killing PR with DW when PR got X,Y,Z items" I would like to say: What kind of DW will let PR get steamboots/plated greaves, ring of the teacher and be a 6lvl+ so he have a higher lvl of his armor???
I mean we all know that nukers/gnakers like DW/hag/pebs/BH/fayde/etc. get most of their money and kills from enemy supports because they can easily kill them with 1 combo of 2-3 skills. And also those gankers should gank every time their CD is off cooldown and kill those supports(well yeah they also can kill the enemy carries too but that should but in most situations when mid gaker ganks side lane he takes down the support+the carry of the enemy team with the help of his mates). So add here that PR is babysitting carry and he should not get any creep kills and you will realize he will have barely money for wards... not to mention marchers.
Also you will answer that wards and what not fix your problems with ganking but not always. Again we are talking about different situations. That's why I think that every hero has his + and - . He can be powerful at doing something that the enemy can't but he also has his weaknesses. And I think PR needed only lowered movement speed reduce on his shield and his phys. armor bonus on his shield to 9 or 10 and max level.
Also his deny is not OP... It's fine and everyone should know how to fix their XP and money problems because of that 1 missing creep every second wave.
We were talking about a SOLO plague rider. DW can't do much against that >_>So @ people who said "GL on 1 shot killing PR with DW when PR got X,Y,Z items" I would like to say: What kind of DW will let PR get steamboots/plated greaves, ring of the teacher and be a 6lvl+ so he have a higher lvl of his armor???

Nightmare was nothing compared to the true horror, the crawling chaos peering into our hearts and simply whispering, 'Join me'.
Draco, getting plated and/or rott or bracers + 1-2 early levels of armor on pr is very viable and useful when you're up against a dw. Even when you're laning it's fine because you should have the lane at your tower (+ outlevel/farm the enemy on your lane, meaning you have way better chances than most supports against dw).
So, a few stats - if you don't like math posts, skip this one:
A typical creep wave consists of 1 archer and 3 melee creeps for a total of 227 xp.
Assuming that PR can deny 1 creep out of range of the hero's (ie no xp) +- every minute this has the effect of reducing available xp by 62 per minute.
Over a period of 6 minutes this is the equivalent of 351-372 xp (depending on whether you deny the archer for the first wave or not).
In order to get to level 6 a hero needs 2000 xp, which can be achieved in 5 minutes even if PR gets to deny all the creeps for no xp. PR by comparison can get to level 6 in 4.5 minutes assuming he last hits every creep.
The assumption of course is that each hero last hits all his own creeps. I won't get into hit animation times - suffice it to say that PR is mediocre at best.
So, the extinguish ability is worth something between 30 and lets say 45 seconds up to level 6 assuming PR levels is up on levels 1,3 and 5.
The other side of entinguish is that PR gets 15%/30%/45%/60% of the creeps hp as mana. Over a laning phase of 6 minutes PR will get +- 1072 mana less the 25 per extinguish cast = 950 = +- 2.6 mana per second. This allows him to cast 6 level 2 contagions or approximately 1 every minute of the laning phase without additional regen.
Level 2 contagion does 200 pre-mitigation damage, so PR can deal +- 150 post mitigation damage a minute.
So, to summarise :
30 to 45s level 6 advantage assuming last hitting to be equal
150 damage per minute
I don't think the 30-45s advantage is that big considering that the attack animation (0.676 attacks per second) is one of the slower ones, but I do wonder if 150 damage a minute could be a bit much.
Don't get me wrong - leveling armour against DW is good. I just think that leveling armour early instead of contagion or extinguish might help DW win the lane. DW wants to get an early bottle and get to level 6 as soon as possible.
Leveling armour might stop him killing you at level 6 (although I think he probably still can) but will probably have him ganking your sidelanes earlier.
I think the right way to beat DW is harrass him down with spammable nukes until he can't come close to last hit. Then get to lvl 6 first and try to kill him.
Yup that how I think too. Also this is one situation and there are a lot more gankers in HoN.
@Hubaris Well if you got so much lane control problems you can always call some to gank and fix the problem. Neither you are in side line or mid or solo side lane. This game is about teamplay so don't compare everything in 1v1 situations -_-

-- Governor Cuomo is helping get this gas such shortage -- fixed pretty soon at your car bridge back open -- think so get it.
Tom -- due -- some relief here pretty quickly but I'm telling -- it's a big story not only in New York but New Jersey and other states -- and on the East Coast.
As well and we got -- -- New Jersey where we -- Liz MacDonald on the saying -- -- what do you say.
Hey good to be with you guys are about forty miles of I would consider earlier sixty -- -- trend that we have forty miles north of New York City and what we're seeing -- -- lines continue to grow their about it -- mile long line outside -- here this pilot and vision.
In New Jersey and we did have state troopers trying to keep the peace that here governor -- is saying that.
Fuel tankers are entering New York Harbor and damage -- terminals are being reopened inexpensive fuel shortage.
To begin easing quickly and we've got more news for you.
80% of the gas stations in New Jersey are off line they do not have powered.
Fox Business has learned from triple ways new Jersey's Cathleen Lewis.
That the reason why 80% of the gas stations in New Jersey are off line.
-- due to power issues electrical power is needed to run that gas pumps and it's also needed to run the gas pipelines that deliver the fuel.
Into the area so beaten -- expectation though according to authorities -- that this fuel problem.
Will be starting to ease come Sunday and into next week.
But for now -- AAA and the authorities are saying.
If you do not need to be on the road don't beyond the -- tried to ease the gas crisis as fast as we can.
We talk to drivers online -- hear -- say this reminds them of their early seventies that the OPEC crisis but that is not the problem it is a power problem.
That meeting the electricity is not coming into the gas stations in New Jersey to get the fuel pumps up and running on any given that few -- and it.
-- house people's moods there I am standing.
Upsetting I hope out there and the other question is what about the prices normal prices in terms of a -- up the prices.
Yeah that's an important question we are seeing normal prices trending around three dollars and eighty cents a gallon.
And answer the mood of the people here but we're seeing here is this gas station is trying to do -- -- there.
Their own president crowd control and -- workers let me set the scene for -- he -- -- -- with orange flags and they're trying to keep the cars back.
Down and -- lines in order to not have them do it pileup like airplanes on a runway and so they can better control that.
The -- and -- tempers here but you see the people here are being very patient the hours we're waiting here are now trending around two -- long wait to get gas here in New Jersey.
We're hearing four to five hours and other spots coming off the George Washington Bridge we have seen a number of gas lines -- -- steadily growing.
So you can imagine those hour wait long -- like -- are gonna be lengthening throughout the day we're gonna stay on top of this story very throughout the day get a get a that -- -- -- -- in -- -- and New Jersey -- -- -- And it is --

"The common man, if he has no time to worship the Lord, may at least engage his hands for a few seconds in washing or sweeping the Lord's temple.
Mahäräja Pratäparudra, the greatly powerful king of Orissa, was always very busy with heavy state responsibilities, yet he made it a point to sweep the temple of Lord Jagannätha at Puri once a year during the festival of the Lord.
The idea is that however important a man one may be he must accept the supremacy of the Supreme Lord. This God consciousness will help a man even in his material prosperity.
Mahäräja Pratäparudra's subordination before Lord Jagannätha made him a powerful king, so much so that even the great Pathan in his time could not enter into Orissa on account of the powerful Mahäräja Pratäparudra.
And at last Mahäräja Pratäparudra was graced by Lord Sri Caitanya on the very grounds of his acceptance of subordination to the Lord of the universe.So even though a rich man's wife has glittering bangles made of gold on her hands, she must engage herself in rendering service to the Lord."
Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 2 Chapter 3 Verse 21 - Purport

Did you check out this wikipedia article ? http://en.wikipedia....ary_supplement) It seems to be a quite informative overview. Otherwise I found some studies by searching on PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) that might be worth taking a look at.

Authorities: Space heater cord may have caused Allegan County house fire that killed man, 69
Joseph Sejud died Monday
Authorities say a space heater may have started a fire that killed a 69-year-old man at his home in Allegan County.
Mlive.com says the fire happened about 8 p.m. Monday in Lee Township, about 40 miles southwest of Grand Rapids. The home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.
Township fire Chief Nelvin DeWeerd identifies the victim as Joseph Sejud. Authorities say his body was found on the first floor of the two-story home, and his dog also died.
The fire remains under investigation, but authorities are looking at the space heater's electrical cord as the possible cause. The home didn't have central heating.

My problem is i'm being restricted even within the one Type. Also i don't want to type in new Genres I want to select from the ones i already have.To give you another example:I create a new Collection called Quarantine this where i will edit the tags/properties for all newly added files to the Library.Criteria = Path\Filename contains Music Quarantine (where they temporarily reside on the hard drive until i finalise the editing). Then I'll use Auto Organise to move them to a new Folder on the hard drive where i keep all my MM files.So when i access Collection - Quarantine I only ever see new files not edited.Assume that a new file does not have the Artist info & no Genre. When I go to Edit Properties & type in the first few letters of the Artist Name, if the Artist is already in the database the full name appears in the drop down list & i select it. But when I want to do the same thing for the Genre the drop down list is empty. That is my problem.

Davo wrote:Thanks BKK - Not sure either if it's a bug but it's definitely a design/logic flaw of some kind. You should be able to see all the values in the Genre table same as you do for all the other fields no matter what Collection your in. Otherwise how can you Edit File Properties correcty.

I'm a big fan of dat azz
Not bad for an old broad.
I enjoy posting with her. I feel like we would get along really well IRL.
We would get all dressed up, go bar-hopping on our bikes, then go get a bottle, and listen to some Modern Lovers records. It would rule.
Come back Tuesday!
Get off my back, Babylon!
Don't understand the thread title but I would so disappoint Tuesaday with my small junk, lack of sexy moves, and premature ejaculation. She would hate it so good.
Oh, this is a dumb spinoff thread
i'd still bang her after only 2 beers
