The European Union was established by the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, from a looser economic confederation of European countries, the European Economic Community. Member countries within the Eurozone now use a single currency, the Euro (though Britain has kept its original currency, the pound. Denmark also is a member of the European Union which is exempt from adopting the Euro.) The goal of the European Union is to facilitate "the free movement of people, goods, services and capital" within the member states. There are currently 27 member states, with several other states on the path towards membership.
The European Union, as a whole, has the largest economy in the world.
Members of the European Union (date of membership):
Austria (1995)
Note that the countries we think of as "Western Europe" were mostly members of the EU very early, before some of the "Iron Curtain" countries were free of Soviet control. The Berlin wall, separating East Berlin from West Berlin, came down in 1989. The Baltic states, for instance, became independent in 1991.

A delicious starter for Christmas, smoked salmon tastes great and looks impressive on mini pancakes
- 100ml (4fl oz) milk
- 50g (2oz) sour cream
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 85g (3�oz) plain flour, sifted
- 50g (2oz) wholemeal flour, sifted
- �tsp baking powder
- �tsp caraway seeds, finely ground
- 300g (10oz) smoked salmon
- 200g (7oz) cr�me fra�che
- 50g (2oz) "caviar", such as Avruga
Avruga comes from herring, and doesn't contain fish roe. It's delicious, and MSC approved too. Find it in Sainsbury's
STo make the pancakes, mix the milk, sour cream and eggs in a jug until well combined, then set aside. Sift both the flours and the baking powder into a bowl, making a well in the centre. Pour the egg mixture, caraway seeds and seasoning into the well and whisk from the inside out, incorporating all the dry mixture until it becomes a smooth batter.
Heat a large, heavy-based, non-stick frying pan; if it's a good pan you won't need to grease it, but brush with a little melted butter if necessary. Add the batter to the pan in teaspoonfuls to make small pancakes. When bubbles start to appear, turn the pancakes and cook for another minute. Cook in batches. Set the pancakes aside to cool.
To serve, top the pancakes with a slice of smoked salmon, a small amount of cr�me fra�che and the caviar.

MASSENA - A Massena man who skipped town and went to Florida when he had charges pending against him in St. Lawrence County Court and the town and village courts in Massena turned himself in Wednesday night.
Village police picked up Jacob L. Farrell, 23, of 31 Malby Ave., Massena, on three warrants. He was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow on the warrants issued by the local courts and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $3,000 cash or $6,000. He is also being held on a county court warrant alleging he violated the conditions of his probationary sentence.
He told the court at his arraignment that he had spent several months in Florida before returning to Massena.
Farrell had been sentenced in September 2012 to probation for five years and ordered to pay $3,520 in restitution for a third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance conviction.
A uniform court report from the St. Lawrence County Probation Department, dated Jan. 24, 2013, alleged Farrell had been charged with petit larceny on Jan. 1, 2013, failed to appear for a scheduled evaluation on Jan. 7, 2013 at St. Lawrence County Chemical Dependency Services, failed to report a new address to his probation officer after being kicked out of a Garond Road, North Lawrence residence following a domestic dispute, failed to report to his probation officer as directed numerous times from Nov. 28, 2012 until the UCR had been filed and only made $80 toward restitution despite a court order directing him to make monthly payments of $70.
St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome J. Richards had signed a warrant for Farrell's residence on Jan 24, 2013.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson had signed a warrant for Farrell's arrest on March 26, 2013 after he allegedly failed to appear in court as directed on petit larceny and trespass charges. The charges stemmed from an incident at 3:54 a.m. Aug. 25, 2012 when Farrell allegedly stole approximately $3 in loose change from Gerald Cook's vehicle.
Mr. Sharlow had issued a warrant for Farrell's arrest on a petit larceny count on April 26, 2013. Farrell allegedly stole a 37-inch flat screen television and a WII gaming system on Dec. 30, 2012 from the Amber Hinkley residence on North Raquette River Road.

One of the biggest pop stars since Justin Bieber is, without a doubt, Carly Rae Jepsen, who actually happens to be Bieber's protégée. An Ukrainian singer Aza is now saying that Carly's "Call Me Maybe" is a shameless ripoff of her "Hunky Santa."
Aza has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Jepsen and her management, saying that the two songs are so similar that it's a wonder no one else picked up on the story so far.
"I'm shocked and surprised that these people wanted to sample my lyrics on their song. They didn't ask me for permission, they just took it. That's why I filed this lawsuit. When I first heard it on the radio, I was driving and almost got into an accident. I couldn't believe what I was hearing," she writes in court documents obtained by TMZ.
As expected, Aza is asking for unspecified damages, even if Carly's people have already issued a statement to say all allegations are false because she writes her own songs.
Above is Carly's viral hit "Call Me Maybe." Below is Aza's own "Hunky Santa," but *please note that some discretion is recommended when viewing it.


text: Roger: absolutely you should try it. It looks awesome despite the low resolution (1920x1080) on most home projectors and TVs. Showing images at high quality I think is the main reason I'd consider buying a 4k TV because for sure there is no broadcast content out there to give them any other purpose.

Foreign policy is always difficult in a democracy. Democracy requires openness. Yet foreign policy requires a level of secrecy that frees it from oversight and exposes it to abuse. As a result, Republicans and Democrats have long held that the intelligence agencies--the most clandestine of foreign policy institutions--should be insulated from political interference in much the same way as the higher reaches of the judiciary. As the Tower Commission, established to investigate the Iran-Contra scandal, warned in November 1987, "The democratic processes ...

Lev's Bakery takes 'best doughnut' in Ann Arbor web poll
With 20 bakeries in the Ann Arbor area, and more than 7,000 votes cast by doughnut lovers all over Southeast Michigan, Lev's Bakery of Tecumseh was the clear winner in a poll on mlive. The newspaper's food and dining writers are on a quest to discover the location for the best doughnut in Michigan.
The first step was a people's choice poll online. Lev's Bakery was the hands-down winner for the Ann Arbor area, beating out runner-up Dom Bakery in Ypsilanti.
"We want to thank our customers," said Roger DeJonghe "People from all over have told us we have the best doughnuts they have ever tasted."
DeJonghe believes Lev's reputation in the Ann Arbor area can be attributed to Tecumseh commuters. "A lot of people from Tecumseh commute to Ann Arbor, and take our doughnuts with them," he said.
The next step in mlive's doughnut quest is for the writers to travel all over the state of Michigan to the winning bakeries to taste doughnuts. The itinerary for their trip across southeastern Michigan on Thursday, March 20, will be published tomorrow by John Gonzalez on annarbor.com.
Suggestions for the doughnuts to taste at Lev's can be submitted to email@example.com.

A Miami Beach man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Tuesday, after he beat up and strangled a woman he forced into prostitution.
34-year-old Robert Burton marked the first conviction for the Miami-Dade Human Trafficking Unit, AP reports.
The Miami Herald reports that Burton forced at least six women into prostitution and fathered children with three of them. He faced similar charges in Nevada where he wasn't convicted.
In Miami, Burton was accused of beating and choking a 31-year-old woman and abducting their 7-year-old son in 2011. Prosecutors say when police pulled Burton over and inquired about the two women in the car, the child said, "those are my daddy's hoes."
State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle says human trafficking is similar to domestic violence. She called it "affection -- with torture."

This is a shelf stable dry mix you can keep for months. It also makes a great gift idea in a special jar or container. Spices can be eliminated for a more traditional hot chocolate.
- For Hot Chocoloate Mix:
- 7 cups dry low-fat milk powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped or in morsels
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 1/2 cups quality unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 cups superfine sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup instant mocha cappuccino powder (optional)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- For Marshmallows:
- 3 1/2 envelopes (2 tablespoons plus 2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup hot water (about 115 degrees F)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
- Cooking spray
- Candy thermometer
Combine half of the powdered milk with all of the semisweet chocolate in a food processor. Process until the chocolate is finely chopped, almost a powder. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts and process to mix. Empty the contents of the food processor into a large bowl and mix in the remaining milk powder and all the other ingredients. Mix very well and process again in the food processor to finish.
Use about 1/8 cup of the mixture for a small cup of cocoa, or 1/4 cup for a large mug. Just add boiling water and stir until well incorporated.
Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch rectangular metal baking pan with cooking spray and dust with some of the confectioners' sugar.
In a bowl of a standing electric mixer, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let stand to soften.
In a 3-quart pan, cook the granulated sugar, corn syrup, hot water and salt over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to moderate and boil the mixture, without stirring, until a candy or digital thermometer registers 240 degrees F, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and pour the sugar mixture over the gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved.
Beat the mixture on high speed until white, thick and nearly tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. In a large bowl with cleaned beaters, beat the whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Beat the whites and vanilla into the sugar mixture until just combined. Pour the mixture into the baking pan and sift 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar evenly over the top. Chill the marshmallows, uncovered, until firm, at least three hours and up to 1 day.
Run a thin knife around the edges of the pan and invert the pan onto a large cutting board. Lifting up 1 corner of the inverted pan, loosen the marshmallows and let drop onto cutting board. With a large knife, trim the edges and cut into roughly 1-inch cubes. Sift the remaining confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and add marshmallows in batches, tossing to evenly coat. Marshmallows keep in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 1 week.

Add t.v.p. to ground beef: You can save money on your grocery bill by doubling your ground beef for just pennies! Just add an equal amount of dry t.v.p. to ground beef and mix it in. You can freeze packages of ground beef/t.v.p. to use later just like regular hamburger.
Browse The Practical Vegetarian's archives.
Textured vegetable protein is recognized - by vegetarians and meat eaters alike - as a low-fat, nutritious meat replacement and supplement. Commonly referred to as t.v.p., textured vegetable protein takes only about three minutes to prepare to replace ground beef and other ground meats in most recipes. You can also add the dry dehydrated nuggets directly to ground meat to stretch your grocery dollars without any loss to flavor or protein.
"Textured vegetable protein (t.v.p.) is dry and not very edible when you bring it home from the store...The process to restore moisture to the t.v.p. is simple and only takes a few minutes."
Meat Replacement: Textured vegetable protein (t.v.p.) is dry and not very edible when you bring it home from the store. The reason for this is because it has been dehydrated. In order to make it ready to use to completely replace ground meat, for vegetarian burgers for instance, you will need to rehydrate it by adding hot water.
The process to restore moisture to the t.v.p. is simple and only takes a few minutes. You will then be able to work with the textured vegetable protein in the same way that you do with ground beef or other ground meats. Just follow the easy steps listed at the bottom of this page to prepare t.v.p. as a meat replacement.
Use dry t.v.p. to add to ground meats to stretch your grocery money: If you want to extend your ground meat by adding textured vegetable protein, you won't have to rehydrate the t.v.p. first. Simply add the dry nuggets to the raw ground meat and mix together evenly with your hands or a cooking spoon. To double the amount of your ground meat, use about one part meat to one part t.v.p.; you can adjust these amounts according to your own preferences. What's nice about this method of using t.v.p. to add to ground meat is that you can freeze the mixture just as you would plain hamburger or ground meat. Just place meal-sized batches of the meat mixture into freezer bags or containers and pop them into the freezer. When you're ready to use some, just thaw the bag like you would normally.
After following these easy steps, continue with you favorite recipes as you would for ground meat:
After adding water, cook and stir for a couple of minutes to rehydrate textured vegetable protein.
1. Measure a cup or two of t.v.p. and place it into a saucepan. The amount of t.v.p. is equivalent to ground meat so if you are making patties, one cup would be okay; if you are making a faux meatloaf, then 2 cups would be better.
2. Measure approximately the same amount of water in a teapot or another pot and begin heating on high heat. The ratio of t.v.p. to water is about 1 to 1 using just slightly less water than t.v.p. Some resources suggest as much as 2 or 3 cups of water to every 1 cup of t.v.p. but this can make the texture too mushy and unable to hold together for burgers or faux meatballs. I have discovered that the 1 to 1 ratio works well for everything; you can always add more water during the preparation of your recipe if you want to loosen it up a little.
3. The water does not have to be boiling but just very hot with steam coming off of it. When the water is ready, begin pouring it slowing over the t.v.p. while stirring the mixture with a cooking spoon.
4. Over medium heat, stir the water and t.v.p. mixture until all visible water disappears.
5. Remove the t.v.p. to a heat-safe bowl. You can now go ahead and prepare your favorite recipes just as you would for ground meat.
For more ideas about using t.v.p., see The Practical Vegetarian available at Amazon.com.

So far, METRO has received more than half of the grand total it expects to get from the Federal Transit Administration. The latest FTA funding grant comes to about $188 million. METRO President and CEO George Grenias says that money will be equally divided between the North and Southeast light rail lines.
"Despite the budget challenges they're facing in Washington DC, I think that the commitment of the current administration, the Congress, the Federal Transit Administration, the Department of Transportation to these two rail projects in Houston speaks, I think, to the solidity of these two projects and how worthwhile they see them for our community."
Grenias says the latest infusion of cash will help pay for all sorts of things related to light rail construction.
"From the roadway work and the sidewalks and the movement of utilities — which give the neighborhoods not just a new rail system, but also a brand new street, brand new sidewalks — to the guideway, that's where the track goes, the track itself, the stations, the catenary — the lines overhead — the cars that will run on the tracks."
Grenias says the North and Southeast lines are now a little more than halfway finished. The tracks are expected to be complete by the end of next year, with revenue service starting in early 2014.

"It was essential the university and Bauer College ξplay to its strength and the strengths of Houston," said Pirrong.ξ "We created an initiative that was going to provide thought leadership for the energy industry here in Houston and at the same time provide a place to exchange ideas between the university and industry."
The thought leadership comes in the form of multi-disciplinary educational programs folded into current curriculum, like the new course on carbon trading; seminars and forums that bring energy leaders together to discuss issues such as energy trading in a financial crisis, and research opportunities that bring together industry and academia to talk about the next big thing.
"Perhaps the most important thing is that they hire our students," Pirrong noted.ξ "We get a lot of feedback from companies that recognize our students come out of college knowing something about energy and that differentiates our graduates from folks that they could hire elsewhere."

Officer shot in head: 'Being disabled is sad, but it's still living'
Watch KVAL 13 TV News this week for more stories about near-death experiences
COOS BAY, Ore. - He was an active family man and a dedicated police officer with a bright future.
But on one fateful night just after Christmas 2004, Coos Bay native Mike Kralicek's life took a turn.
"I went to work, I was assigned to patrol, just doing regular routine activities for traffic stops and whatever calls came out," said the former North Bend, Ore., police officer.
On that night, the Couer d'Alene, Idaho, police officer responded to a fleeing suspect from a hit-and-run accident.
"The suspect managed to get into the house," Kralicek said. "He was handcuffed improperly, and he had a gun inside the house."
What happened next would change his life forever.
"I saw his face all lit up, and then that was it," he said. "I woke up in the hospital two weeks later."
It was 2005 by the time Kralicek woke up from a coma to see his wife Carrie sitting by his side in the intensive care unit.
"She told me that basically, I had been shot," he said.
Kralicek suffered a traumatic brain injury and severed spinal cord from a single gunshot wound to the head.
His prognosis wasn't good.
"The doctors told her that I'd probably never breath again on my own," he said. "I'd definitely never walk or move."
Now almost six years later, Kralicek has defied the odds.
"I was walking by that Christmas after I got home," he said.
On a recent visit back in Coos Bay with Carrie, Kralicek said he continues to make progress - but it's not an easy road.
"All my activities daily, I have to have someone else help me with," he said.
But Kralicek said that after his brush with death, he knows things could have been worse.
"Being disabled is sad," he said, "but it's still living."

Federal health officials estimate that nearly 48 million people are sickened by food contaminated with harmful germs each year, and some of the causes might surprise you.
Although most people know animal products must be handled carefully to prevent illness, many don't realize that produce can also be the culprit in outbreaks of foodborne illness. In recent years, the United States has had several large outbreaks of illness caused by contaminated fruits and vegetables – including spinach, tomatoes, and lettuce.
Glenda Lewis, an expert on foodborne illness with the Food and Drug Administration, says fresh produce can become contaminated in many ways. During the growing phase, fruits and veggies may be contaminated by animals, harmful substances in the soil or water, and poor hygiene among workers. After produce is harvested, it passes through many hands, increasing the contamination risk. Contamination can even occur after the produce has been purchased, during food preparation, or through inadequate storage.
FDA says to choose produce that isn't bruised or damaged, and make sure that pre-cut items – such as bags of lettuce or watermelon slices – are either refrigerated or on ice both in the store and at home. In addition, follow these recommendations:
Lewis says consumers should store perishable produce in the refrigerator at 40 degrees or below.

text: Robert the way you are exposing jihad attached to so called Muslims is applauded. Might be you do it out of hatred of Islam but in fact it is blessings and disguise. The way so called Muslims utilising Jihad for spread of Islam is totally forbidden (Haraam) in Islam. May be one could present quotes but then remains the dispute of interpretation. Islam never got spread due to Jihad and will never do so in future also. It is its finest teachings which attracts the human being. Again coming to Ahmadiyya interpretation of Islam (you and your sympathiser call Ahmadiyya a cult), the Founder of community very explicitly declared Jihad with force for spread of religion now has become Harram. On this pretext other Muslim declared him as impostor as well non Muslims. In fact your effort indirectly supporting the view point of Ahmadiyya Islam as it condemns all kind of atrocities committed on the name of religion. In fact Islam is the future religion of the world. Christianity had its share. With the second advent of Jesus Christ in the person of founder of Ahmadiyya Community days for Christian believes are over. It is now matter of time. The way Ahmadiyya is proving the wrong myth of Christianity will prove it sooner Jesus Christ was just a great prophet of God who did his duties well and died a natural death. After wards God sent the prophet of Islam (saw) and now humanity has to accept this prophet and his correct teachings. This is divine destiny and God has all the power to get it implemented. Second advent of Jesus Christ is meant for it and things are moving forward in satisfactory manner.

(WLTX) --- There is no question Irmo's Dustin Johnson feels comfortable at Pebble Beach.
The former Dutch Fork and Coastal Carolina star finished tied forsecond in the AT&T National Pro-Am.
Johnson is a two-time winner of this event and was one solid round away from winning the 2010 U.S. Open when that major was held at the Pebble Beach Golf Links.
After firing a 6-under 66 in Sunday's final round, Johnson waited to see what overnight leader Jimmy Walker did.
Walker was +2 for his round, allowing him to pull out a one-shot victory over Johnson and Jim Renner.
Walker was clearly stumbling down the stretch and was one bogey away from a three-man playoff. But a par on the 72nd hole gave him his third win in his last eight events.
Johnson continues to climb the World Golf Rankings, moving from 12th to 11th.

Comments about Centerstream Publishing Sonny Terry Licks For Blues Harmonica (Book/CD):
This CD/Book shows authentic blues licks. Most of them are quite difficult (for me), but it's worth the work when you finally get it to sound right. The narrative/instruction is entertaining--more like your friend showing you than a formal class. At least one of the symbols, a full bend I think, is not explained in the book, so you just have to listen and do it. Overall a good value compared to the cost of lessons.

Research from the European Commission has found a negligable but "positive link" between online piracy and visits to legal music stores, and concludes that piracy "should not be seen as a growing concern" for digital business.
It also, however, says that the findings do not contradict previous reports showing physical sales displacement.
The research, based on a 16,000-person European sample from the The Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, has suggested that piracy doesn't hurt digital music revenues.
The data suggested that overall, piracy has a positive effect on music sales and that sales would have been lower, assuming causal interpretation, had illegal downloading websites be absent, as the paper states: "It seems that the majority of the music that is consumed illegally by the individuals in our sample would not have been purchased if illegal downloading websites were not available to them."
"If this estimate is given a causal interpretation, it means that clicks on legal purchase websites would have been two percent lower in the absence of illegal downloading websites.
The research also highlighted legal streaming and the link to digital music purchases which was said to amount to 7%.
The paper concludes: "Taken at face value, our findings indicate that digital music piracy does not displace legal music purchases in digital format. This means that although there is trespassing of private property rights, there is unlikely to be much harm done on digital music revenues."
It adds that results show "the vast majority of the music that is consumed illegally by the individuals in [the sample] would not have been legally purchased if illegal downloading websites were not available.
"From that perspective, our findings suggest that digital music piracy should not be viewed as a growing concern for copyright holders in the digital era. In addition, our results indicate that new music consumption channels such as online streaming positively affect copyrights owners."
It's important to note that the report says that its findings do not contradict earlier research which found substantial amounts of sales displacement of legal physical music sales by illegal digital downloads.
This news comes a week after an Ofcom report that said more music is pirated pirated than TV, film and games combined, and a fortnight after Google downranked The Pirate Bay in its UK search results.

Submission Process
What documents do I need to submit to ORSP as part of a complete proposal package?
Please submit the UALR Proposal Authorization Form (PAR) with your project (narrative, budget and budget justification, appendices, letters of support, etc.). A copy of the program announcement or guidelines or the announcement number is also requested and a copy of any compliance approvals.
Is ORSP available to help me prepare my proposal?
ORSP will review your proposal per agency guidelines and help you prepare your budget during the development of your proposal. ORSP can also assist you with editing services, provided sufficient notification. Please call (501) 537-0862 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for editing services.
Do all proposals need to be submitted through ORSP instead of directly to the sponsor? If so,why?
UALR sponsored projects must be reviewed and signed by University administration prior to submission. It is the University's policy that all proposals go through our office for administrative and academic approval regardless of the amount of the request. All proposals must be reviewed and signed by officials at the university prior to submission whether the sponsor requires it or not. Sponsors are aware of this.
Can I charge administrative and clerical costs to my sponsored project?
For federally sponsored projects, UALR must adhere to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-21, "Cost Principles for Educational Institutions." Therefore, the salaries of administrative and clerical staff, office supplies, postage, local telephone costs, and memberships should normally be treated as indirect costs. Direct charging of these types of costs may be appropriate in some circumstances.
What is UALR's fringe benefits rate?
The fringe benefit rate applied to salaries and wages in sponsored projects covers the University's cost of providing fringe benefits to grant and agreement funded employees. The rates provided here (Frequently Requested Information) are estimates only to anticipate a possible range of actual fringe benefit rates.
Can I sign as Authorizing Official on any project ?
UALR has designated signing officials for all projects .The contracting Signature Authority and/or Authorized Official for all contracts and for paper proposals and award notices with a year one project cost over $250,000 is Robert H.Adams, Vice Chancellor for Finance. For paper proposals and award notices with a year one project cost under $250,000, Tammie Cash, Director of ORSP, is the Authorized Official and/or Signature Authority. For electronic submissions of proposals, please contact Sharon Kaufman to determine the Authorized Official for a specific project or submission portal.
How long does it take to get a proposal reviewed/approved?
The time required for review of a proposal varies with its length, complexity, accuracy, and the care taken in its preparation and prior review. It also depends upon the present workload in ORSP. To allow for necessary corrections, revisions, and for greater assurance that we will meet the sponsor deadline, allow at least five full working days for to review and submit your
proposal. Some proposals that contain cost-sharing commitments, legal conditions, or compliance, may require additional lead-time.
How do I get an NSF PIN#?
We will generate a PIN number for faculty or professional staff members who wish to apply for an NSF grant. After accessing Fastlane for the first time, the faculty or professional staff may then sign on to Fastlane after that.Please request an NSF # by emailing ORSP staff in the Grants and Contracts Processing and Submission or EAR areas.
How do I handle having subawards or subcontracts in my proposal?
Each subaward should be properly identified in your prime budget; subgrants are collaborative efforts and subcontracts are procurement of services. For a subgrant, you should have a separate budget, budget justification, scope of work and letter of commitment signed by the subgrant institution and reflecting the approved subgrant indirect cost. You should be aware that the federal agencies will require the same information of the subgrant's Principle Investigator as is required of the UALR PI.
For subcontracts, you should also submit a separate budget, budget justification, scope of work or services to be performed and a letter of commitment .Additional costing or pricing documentation may be necessary depending on the program announcement for the specific project. You should involve the Office of Purchasing in any discussion of possible subcontracts included in your proposal to ensure a smooth transition upon award.
Please note that UALR will charge indirect cost on the first $25,000 of each subaward per our negotiated IDC rate agreement. It is also important when involving subawards in your budgets that you allow additional time for the paperwork to be processed at the subrecipient's home institution.
I am in the process of preparing a proposal through Grants.gov. It states that I am required to register. What do I need to do to get registered?
You don't need to worry about registering as the University is already registered.An individual registration for a PI is not required.
In addition to submitting my proposal, can I search for funding on Grants.gov?
Yes. Grants.gov is designed to not only be a 'one-stop' submission system for federal agencies, but also a repository for federal funding announcements and grant opportunities. Simply click the Find Grant Opportunities tab and use the search parameters of your choosing. You can even subscribe to emails that will alert you to potential funding.
Can I submit my own proposal in Grants.gov?
No. Like NSF's Fastlane system you will upload the documents into Grants.gov, but ORSP will be responsible for 'pushing the button', or the actual submitting of your proposal.
How long does the Grants.gov submission process take?
ORSP needs 5 days prior to the due date to review your proposal. Once review is complete and accurate document(s) are uploaded into Grants.gov the submission process usually takes 1-2 hours.
Who should I talk to if I need assistance or to submit with Grants.gov?
Please Contact ORSP staff in the Grants and Contracts Processing and Submission or ERA areas .
How can I create PDF files to include in my application?
DoPDF is an easy to use PDF converter. It is free for both personal and commercial use. Once downloaded and installed, you may create PDF files by selecting the "Print" command from within your application text or spreadsheet application.
What are F&A costs, also known as indirect costs?
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs are expenses generated at the University by the performance of extremely funded projects on and off campus. F&A costs are also known as indirect costs or overhead costs. An indirect cost is a cost that is not easily identified or can not be associated with one specific project. Examples of F&A costs at an institution include general supplies (paper, toner, pencils, etc.),secretarial or general administrative assistance , utilities, maintenance, etc. F&A expenses are generated on a project according to the established F&A rate. UALR has a current negotiated F&A rate of 42.5% of Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC). Proposals should include the maximum allowable F&A rate.
A PI does not have the authority to reduce or waive the IDC rate or to accept or negotiate a reduced or waived IDC rate with a sponsor. If a reduced or waived rate is either required or suggested, a PI is required to submit either of the following; 1-A copy of the sponsor's standard policy (or program /grant announcement ) indicating the reduced or eliminated F&A rate requirement for that program; or 2-A completed UALR Request for Indirect Cost Reduction or Waiver Form signed and approved through Vice Provost for Research .
What is the F&A negotiated rate and will this vary by sponsor?
UALR's F&A or IDC negotiated rate is 42.5% of modified total direct cost (MTDC). The off-campus rate is 26%. The regular negotiated rate is required for all sponsored projects regardless of the sponsor or type of funding. Some programs have a printed IDC rate restriction either in the program guidelines or grant announcement or in a company's written policies. Documentation of a rate restriction must be provided with the PAR and the proposal or agreement upon submission of the project to ORSP.
What is MTDC and TDC
Modified Total Direct Cost is the base on which F&A is applied which includes salary/wage costs, plus fringe benefits, materials, travel, other direct expenses (such as services), and the first $25,000 of a subaward. However, it excludes equipment, tuition remission, scholarships, fellowships,participant support costs, and any part of a subaward over $25,000.Total Direct Cost (TDC) is the total direct costs on a project with no exclusions.
My program officer called and told me my proposal was funded. May I begin my project now?
After you receive electronic or written notification of your award, you must contact ORSP prior to beginning your project. ORSP will assure all awards and compliance issues have been addressed. We will then set up your account so that you can begin your project.
Why can't I spend my grant money any way I want?
Sponsored funds may be subject to specific federal, state, or agency restrictions and they are subject to UALR purchasing restrictions. Always check with your Grants Manager and the Purchasing Office in advance to make sure that you can be reimbursed for your purchases.
When should I request a no-cost extension?
Individual sponsor requirements vary. First-time requests are generally due to the sponsor thirty (30) days prior to the current end date of the project. Any subsequent extension requests, if permitted, are due to the sponsor sixty (60) days prior to the extended end date of the project. Please allow a reasonable amount of time for us to review and process your request.
Other Questions
What is UALR's tax exempt status? Can I receive funding from a sponsor who requires a 501(c)(3) status?
UALR is classified with an IRS coded tax exempt status of 170(c)(1), not 501(c)(3). If sponsors specifically require the organization to have a 501(c)(3) status, we may not be eligible to receive funding from them.
What is the difference between a grant and a gift?
Grants generally carry obligations for reporting of technical or financial activity the sponsor may require. They are intended to support specific projects and set objectives; periodic written reports are required; the accounting of funds received are separate from other award; and you must apply for and receive the award through ORSP to assure compliance with university and agency policies.A gift normally requires no formal proposal or reporting; these funds can be combined with gifts of a similar nature for similar purposes and does not have to be in a separate fund (account) and may be for a specific project or unrestricted institutional purposes.
What is Research Compliance and why is it important?
Federal regulations require institutions to review and approve research projects using human participants, animals,bio agents, etc. prior to accepting an award. Also, other issues such as potential conflicts of interest, export control issues, and effort commitments need to be reviewed and addressed.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
The PGA Championship returns to the Atlanta Athletic Club this week, bringing the world's best players and the focus of the golf world to our neck of the woods. For most folks the chance to see Phil and Tiger in action at a major tournament is the draw, but for me the neatness of the tournament is more personal.
So this week I'll be thinking about the volunteers on and around the course, the men and women who do everything from marshal the crowd to cart the players around. That's the kind of stuff my dad did 10 years ago when the PGA was last held at the AAC. And I don't think I ever saw him have more fun.
From the time he got his uniform he was in hog heaven, thrilled to be part (no matter how small) of one of the biggest events in his favorite sport. Whether it was telling me about players' antics on the driving range (and the fact their range balls were infinitely nicer than the balls we used to actually play) or giving me the play by play on the traffic he held up at a certain hole, he could hardly contain his excitement.
It was fun to see him in the role of child filled with awe vs. the been-there, done-that attitude fathers usualy exude. You mistakenly assume as a child that dads don't have that quality only to learn later that they merely suppress it, the joy and wonderment of their children taking precedence. As you get older there are few things more satisfying than to see your parents experience the unbridled joy they spent a lifetime providing for you. So the week of the PGA was a very fun one for me as well.
The funny thing about golf is the ties it binds regardless of skill level. My dad was a good golfer as a young man, when he taught school and had afternoons free to practice and play. I've never been very adept, not that it's kept me from trying. But no matter good or bad, slices or long drives, we always had a good time on the golf course. And it was no different at the PGA tournament.
As sports editor of the Daily Post, I had press credentials and checked in with dad from time to time, getting to see his enthusiasm for the job in person. We both wanted Phil Mickelson to win, but had no problem with David Toms taking the title. I had pictures of both framed for him, along with the cover of the program and his volunteer badge, making a nice addition to his den.
With the PGA returning to the area, those memories are rekindled. But to be honest, they aren't ever far away. The picture of me and my dad, Jerald, in front of the AAC clubhouse that sits by my desk attests to that.
A lot can change in 10 years -- just ask Tiger Woods. My family and I know that very well. But as the PGA prepares to tee off this week, those good memories are at the forefront as I remember a week my dad would never forget.

Use the ONETEN Magnum to target suspended fish.
Say you want to get down to 7 1/2 feet: simply count off until your Magnum reaches the targeted depth and then start working the lure. With barely noticeable movements of the rod tip, you can get the Magnum to move subtly like a weakened baitfish in the water. With strong pulls or rips of your rod, you can get the Magnum to snap back and forth with the large darting action you've come to expect from the original Vision ONETEN. The beauty of this setup lies in the fact that once you reach your target depth, you can work the lure any way you want, fast or slow, and it will stay at the target depth.
This feature is perfect for bass that are suspended at different levels in the water column. In addition, the weighting is ideal for targeting standing timber, a technique used to great effect on many lakes. Simply cast past the standing cover, jerk the Magnum until it is right next door, then let it fall slowly for at least 10-15 seconds. Many anglers have found that a slow-sink is especially effective in triggering bites in cold-water conditions.
Tuned to suspend out of the package, the 110 Magnum is an especially deadly jerkbait perfect for pre-spawn situations. With a larger profile and Carrozzerria tuning, the Oneten Magnum offers up a larger meal that will be sure to trigger bites from even the most cautious monsters.

Obama admits US doesn't have strategy to combat ISIS in Syria
United States President Barack Obama has reportedly said that the nation does not have a strategy to combat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria.
Obama said in a press briefing at the White House that the U.S.'s top defense officials have been asked to prepare a range of options about what America could do to take on the ISIS in Syria, which he said is "a safe haven" for the terrorist group, reported CNN.
The President however, said that America will not do it alone but will prepare a regional strategy to counter the expansion of the ISIS. Emphasizing on the need to have a strong coalition to face the threat posed by the outfit, Obama said that he will be sending U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to the region soon to forge a coalition that will take on the group.
He however, insisted that a stable Syria and a trustworthy Iraqi government are crucial to ousting the group from the Middle East.
Obama said that America wanted to make sure that they have a clear plan for going after the organization. He added that he will consult the Congress only when he has a plan and will take their suggestions into account as well.
