To obtain Sponsored Programs review you e-mail your proposal budget as a properly formatted attachment (i.e. Excel, etc.) to your cognizant Administrator, or FAX a copy of the budget along with your detail sheets to Sponsored Programs Administration at (662) 325-3803. To schedule an appointment with your Administrator call the office at (662) 325-7404.
SPA requires three days to review and process a proposal, therefore send the proposal to SPA at least three days before the proposal must be submitted.
Use current salary figures with an appropriate inflation factor as of July 1 of each year thereafter. If an MSU faculty is only consulting on a project, it is calculated as a percentage of the appointment. No extra compensation may be paid from a sponsored project unless specifically identified and requested from the agency in the proposal, and then approved.
Use hourly rates as appropriate for work performed within the guidelines issued by Human Resources. We strongly suggest use of a 4% to7% per year inflation factor.
To convert 9 month salaried employees to an hourly rate divide the 9 month salary by 1,560 hours. To convert 12 month salaried employees to an hourly rate divide the 12 month salary by 2,080 hours (173.3 hours per month for 12 months = 2,080; The average month has 4.33 weeks). If asked to provide a "loaded" rate remember to load the hourly rate calculated using the aforementioned convention with appropriate fringe AND appropriate F&A rate.
All proposals including an hourly rate should include a disclaimer similar to the following: Mississippi State University does not operate on an hourly basis for full time employees and estimated hourly rates shown here are provided to comply with the sponsor RFP and for comparison purposes only. These rates are neither verifiable nor auditable in the MSU financial system.
Only items costing $5000 (with exceptions, see Receiving & Property Control website at property.msstate.edu) or more per unit cost should be listed here, cost estimates must include sales tax and shipping. Identify equipment with its corresponding cost.
If travel is to a foreign destination, contact the MSU Travel Office for procedures. Inflation suggested at 4 - 7% per year but not mandatory. Include only travel for MSU employees as Consultant, Participant or Honorarium Travel will post as a contractual expense.
Always provide justification of travel expenses. Sponsors often ask for detail when they perform proposal cost analysis. Keep in mind lump sum figures with no destinations and/or detail may hold up the award process.
Always check the MSU Travel web site for current information.
When budgeting mileage, budget $0.56/mile. However, please be aware of travels policy on state owned vehicles. (travel.msstate.edu/policy/travelcost.php#102)
When preparing the materials budget, the PI must estimate or catalog price, tax, and shipping for each item. Prepare for 4% to 7% inflation per year. Individual component to be used for equipment fabrication should be identified as such.
Prepare for publication expenses within the budget, be mindful of page charges, etc. Prepare for 4% to7% inflation per year.
Some agencies limit the maximum daily compensation rate for consultants, so care should be taken to consult agency guidelines.
Inflation suggested at 4% per year but not mandatory.
Contact Information Systems and User Support for rates on special services or access. Prepare for inflation, suggested at 4% per year.
Have each subawardee prepare and submit a detailed budget and budget justification. They will want to obtain their standard institutional/agency approvals first. Each subaward should be listed separately. Math on budgets submitted by subawardee should be checked. If the subawardee is requesting facilities and administrative (F&A) costs, include it as a direct cost to MSU.
Submit a copy of the subawardee's most current negotiated F&A cost Agreement for audit purposes. Inflation rates used by subawardee should be in accordance with subawardee's normal practices. MSU F&A cost on subawardee costs is calculated using the appropriate rate for the first $25,000 of subawardee total costs only.
Any MSU service center used must be noted. Each center is contracted by the PI to obtain estimates for services required.
Telephone tolls, photocopy charges, equipment maintenance, conference registration fees, etc. also belong in this category. If telephone equipment/line rental is to be charged to the grant, it should be separately identified here as such and not included as tolls. Charges for equipment and line rental will need to be strongly justified in the budget justification (MSU categorizes as contractual). Inflation factor for all above items is at the Principal Investigator's discretion. MSU suggests 4 - 7% per year.
Normal F&A cost rates are applied on all proposals unless the funding agency prohibits F&A costs or has its own rates. Obtain prior approval from SPA or from your college administrator for exceptions.
Indirect Cost Rates:
|Type of Rate
|As of
|For Research on campus:
|For Research off campus:
|For Instruction on campus:
|For Instruction off campus:
|For all other sponsored activities on campus:
|For all other sponsored activities off campus:
Proper classification of your project is essential to the selection and application of the appropriate rate. Generally, the following definitions apply (source: OMB A-21; American Heritage Dictionary):
|Separately budgeted scholarly or scientific investigation or inquiry; to study thoroughly.
|Training or teaching activities (other than research training) including the possible development and distribution of curriculum
|Other Sponsored Activities:
|Programs and projects that involve the performance of work other than instruction and research. Examples of such programs and projects are health service projects, and community service programs.
Sponsored agreements will not be subject to more than one F&A cost rate. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, the off-campus rate will apply to the entire project. Similarly, if your project contains components from more than one classification (i.e. Research and Instruction) then only the rate of the most significant component will apply.
*For a definition of "on campus" and "off campus" please see Rate Agreement: http://www.controller.msstate.edu/docs/1639_001.pdf.
Standard F&A costs are charged on all costs with the exception of:

Cost Sharing is a phrase used to indicate when more than one sponsor share in costs associated with a project. The most common relationship is external sponsors providing most of the funds and for the University providing the remainder of the necessary funds to carry out a project. Matching is a form of cost sharing that generally defines a specific ratio of sponsor and University dollars. This type of cost share is usually an eligibility requirement stated in the RFP (request for proposals) and usually, but not always, provided from institutional resources. Cost sharing and matching are nearly synonymous and are often used interchangeably.
Cost share only when specifically required by the sponsor. Typical cost share items are: PI Salary and fringe benefits and the related F&A cost. These costs are easily identifiable and documented. Cost sharing in excess of the amount required should be questioned at the departmental/college level.
You should be familiar with two primary types of cost sharing/matching: In-kind contributions and cash contributions. In-kind contributions are those wherein a value of the contribution can be readily determined, verified and justified but where no actual cash is transacted in securing the good or service comprising the contribution. Two examples of in-kind contributions are: (1) The donation of volunteer time valued at a rate that would be reasonable for the time devoted had the volunteer been compensated for the time. For example, if you solicit volunteers from the local high school to help run surveys on a research project without compensating the volunteers, it would be appropriate to value the volunteer's time at, say, minimum wage for the number of hours volunteered; (2) The donation of non-institution space where such space would normally carry a fee for purposes other than supporting this particular project (i.e. some negotiation between the PI and the donator, or a benefit will accrue to the donator of the space other than immediate monetary reimbursement for the use of the space). This might be utilization of the local Bank Conference Center without having to pay the pre-defined and published rate.
Cash contributions differ from in-kind contributions in that an actual cash transaction occurs and can be documented in the accounting system. This includes allocation of compensated faculty and staff time to projects. Although it is easy to mistake the allocation of compensated faculty/staff time as a donation or as in-kind because the faculty or staff member would be compensated regardless of the advent of the sponsored project, the value is the result of a cash transaction and should be treated as a cash contribution. Other examples of cash contribution include the purchasing of equipment by the institution or other eligible sponsor for the benefit of the project requiring cost sharing.
Cost sharing included in a proposal or a proposal budget must be documented in the official accounting records upon acceptance and management of an award. At MSU cash contributions (including faculty time and the like as described above) will require the transfer of budget from an appropriate fund to cover the cash contribution amount. This transfer of budget must initiate from an E&G, Designated, or Gift fund belonging to the University or from a Restricted fund allowing such use. In-kind contributions must be documented with official correspondence from the organization providing the in-kind cost sharing to include appropriate substantive documentation such as published rate schedules, time cards for volunteers, etc.
It is the responsibility of the Principle Investigator and the department to insure all cost share commitments, including those offered by a third party, are met. The PI and the department must make sure cost share expenses are booked to the cost share fund in a timely manner and budget transfers must be completed periodically to cover these expenses.
Restricted funds with cost share have a corresponding fund that is set up at the time the sponsored account is established to track cost share expenses. Cost share fund numbers start with an "8" and end with the last five digits that tie to the sponsor fund.
Third party and in-kind cost share must be approved in the budget and documentation should be provided to Sponsored Programs Accounting on a timely basis so expenses can be reported on the invoices submitted to the sponsor.
The transfer of funds from the cost sharing source to the cost share fund (8xxxxx) needs to be done periodically. It is important that expenses occurring during a fiscal year are covered within that same year.
To transfer funds to cover cost share expenses, the department must complete a Request for Budget Transfer. Once completed, the form needs to be mailed to Budget at Mail Stop 9602. If the department cost shares from a general fund it will be a two part entry. For example, if $10,000 in salaries is required for cost sharing, the following entries are required:
Part 1:
|Transfer From:
|Transfer To:
Part 2:
|Transfer From:
|Transfer To:
If the department cost shares from a designated fund, the following entry is required:
|Transfer From:
|Transfer To:
If Cost Sharing is in the proposal, an obligation will be set up at the time the award is set up. Every effort should be made to meet the obligation within the grant period. Grants whose cost sharing obligation has not been met may be subject to reduction by the agency.
Some agencies require Cost Sharing on research grants such as DOE at 20% total project costs, some are dollar for dollar, etc. If Cost Sharing obligations are not required, they should not be listed on the budget page and should not have a dollar value assigned in the narrative. Lab space should not be shown as a MSU contribution. Be sure you are not over-committing a person's time beyond 100% effort -- if a person is being paid 100% on other projects and that situation will not be changing, do not commit him/her to this project. As a general rule, cost share the minimum amount required.
Using federal dollars as matching or Cost Sharing toward another sponsored project is not allowed unless you have written authorization from both federal agencies.
F&A costs "waived" on the sponsor portion as well as F&A costs associated with the University contribution can generally be claimed as Cost Sharing. If F&A costs are defined as unallowable by the sponsor, then such costs are also unallowable as cost share. Unallowable F&A costs may only be used if F&A costs are only considered un-reimbursed rather than unallowable costs."

Guest poster Ryan provides his fourth Virginia Tech Hokies position group review.
Previously: Offensive backfield; Receiving corps; Offensive Line; Defensive Front Seven.
Virginia Tech Secondary
Year after year, Virginia Tech's secondary is arguably the team's strongest position group and this season has been no exception. Despite allowing an average of 206 passing yards per game, which is fifth in the ACC, the unit leads the conference in opponent completion percentage rate at 50%. But the main indicator for how Foster's unit is playing is the number of interceptions they produce. The Hokies as a team are second in the conference with 15 with defensive back starters recording nine of those 15 picks. Since Denard Robinson has demonstrated a predilection for throwing interceptions, recording 14 picks on the season, the Hokies will rely on their front seven pressure to set up opportunities for their secondary to make plays and record turnovers.
Cornerbacks – Jayron Hosley #20; Cris Hill #9; Detrick Bonner #8
Since 2000, 13 players from the Hokies' secondary have been drafted into the NFL and junior Jayron Hosley will undoubtedly be number 14 after either this season or next (though the former is more likely). In 2010, Hosley's first year as a starter, he recorded nine interceptions and was a first team All-American. This year, Hosley's insane interception rate has dropped off, but he still recorded a team-leading three picks while racking up the same number of pass break-ups that he did last season with significantly more tackles. Standing at 5-10, 171 lbs., Hosley is by far the Hokies' most feared defensive back. Even so, teams have been able to get behind him in coverage for big plays in the passing game, especially after he suffered a hamstring injury in week seven against Miami. That said, any quarterback who consistently throws his way is playing with fire as explained by ESPN's Sports Science.
Though Kyle Fuller could start opposite of Hosley instead of at the whip linebacker position, it is expected that redshirt senior Cris Hill will be the starter at the second cornerback spot. Hill was a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school, but has been unable to see the field as a starter on defense because of an inability to grasp the mental side of the game and learn Foster's defense. Hill came into the season as the Hokies' nickel corner and since his team-leading seven tackle performance against ECU in week two, Hokie fans, Foster and even Hill himself have seen glimpses of what he can accomplish on the field. Listed at 5-11, 180 lbs., Hill possesses the most straight-line speed of all the players in the Hokies' secondary and because most of his career plays have come on special teams, Hill is not afraid to hit players and play physical. Hill has started five games this season and has recorded 33 total tackles, including one for loss, with an interception.
If Fuller does end up starting at cornerback instead of whip, then redshirt freshman cornerback Detrick Bonner will start at whip. If Fuller ends up at whip as is projected, then Bonner will serve as the Hokies' nickel cornerback. Regardless, expect to see a lot of the 6-0, 189 lbs. athlete. Though he has played as either the nickel or the whip in most games, the majority of his defensive snaps have actually been on the perimeter in relief of an injured Hosley in the Wake Forest, Boston College, and ACC Championship games. Wherever and whenever he plays, Bonner has been very solid in both the run game and the passing game, especially in relief of Hosley considering opponents have targeted him in those instances on almost every passing play. Though he does not have the greatest straight-line speed, his frame and technique can make it hard for opposing quarterbacks to find windows to throw into around Bonner. For the season, Bonner has recorded 26 total tackles with 3.5 for loss, an interception and a fumble recovery.
Safeties – Eddie Whitley #15; Antone Exum #1
Senior Eddie Whitley is the Hokies' starter at rover (aka strong safety). Whitley has alternated between rover and free safety over his career, but Foster decided to make him the primary rover before this season because of his more aggressive instincts and ability to play the ball carrier. Whitley is second on the team in both total tackles (78) and interceptions (two). He also has eight pass break-ups and deflections with a forced fumble and a tackle for loss. An example of Whitley's nose for the football comes from last season's game against UNC where he recorded this great interception in the end zone.
Though both Hosley and Whitley have well-deserved reputations for making plays, very quietly first-year starting free safety Antone Exum has been the Hokies' primary playmaker in the secondary this season. Exum, a 6-0, 220 lbs. redshirt sophomore, leads the team with 85 total tackles and two forced fumbles. He also leads the secondary with 21 pass break-ups and deflections and 4.5 tackles for loss. He also has recorded an interception and a fumble recovery. In other words, Exum statistically is having arguably the best season of anybody on the team and nobody seems to be talking about it. Perhaps more people will after this game since he will arguably play the biggest role in preventing Denard Robinson and Michigan's offense from making huge plays.
The final installment of this series of Virginia Tech position group previews will feature the Hokies' specialists.

Top Ten Ways to Prevent/Treat Homesickness
Top Ten
Many first-time campers worry that they might miss home while they are at camp. They worry that homesickness might get in the way of enjoying camp. The fact is many campers miss home while they are at camp, even experienced campers, no matter what their age! Here are some tips you can use to help campers overcome homesickness and have a great time at your camp . . . .
- Parents and campers choose summer camp sessions together — Guide parents to include their children in the decision-making process and encourage their children that camp will be fun if they immerse themselves in the activities and keep busy. Camp is a place to try new things and make new friends.
- Parents write letters to campers before camp starts — Make sure that parents know appropriate language to use in writing to campers. Quickly engaging campers in activities before a problem arises is key. Parents are our partners in setting campers up for success.
- Adopt an appropriate phone/e-mail policy — If kids use cell phones whenever they want at camp, they could be talking to parents about a situation before staff know there is a problem. The story they may be telling to parents may be true, false, or exaggerated and may prompt the parent to drive up immediately to pick up his or her child.
- Instruct campers to bring plenty of self-addressed envelopes — Missing home means there's something special at home that campers love, and that's a good thing! Encourage staff to help campers write home and tell parents about all the fun stuff at camp!
- Train staff to recognize the signs of homesickness — Find out what campers enjoy and create an outlet for them to pursue it. Try a buddy system. Start early and keep them engaged in camp and their new buddy(s) before there is a problem.
- Train staff to help campers understand that it's ok to miss home — Make sure camp staff are approachable. Sometimes kids feel they cannot talk to their counselors about problems.
- Maintain an open line of communication — Make sure campers know there is an open line of communication between staff and campers.
- Put ego aside if a camper really needs to go home — Camp directors and staff must focus on being available for each child, not just the entire cabin.
- Make every camper feel like a "rock star" — Remind campers that there are so many exciting things to do at camp that they can't do at home! Tell campers that camp is a great time to be "on your own," making your own decisions, and growing up in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
- Remember the special things that only happen at CAMP — Distract. Distract. Distract. Find ways to keep campers busy with activities to take their minds off what is bothering them.

Torque converter
I have read about how the torque converter unlocks on the E40D trans. So, I tried what I had read about holding the throttle and tapping the brake to see if the rpm's went up a bit. They do. I also read somewhere that the TC will unlock while cruising down hill with no throttle use. So, how does one tow down hill, and while sitting at a traffic light, why does the truck still move when the brake is released? Does the TC "relock" on its own? Still learning and loving this truck more every day.
Turbo Diesel
This answer is very general and I'm trying to avoid more confusing things like the Stator:
There are two main parts of the TC. There is the locking clutch and there is the fins (Turbine) and veins (Pump). When, unlocked, fluid (pulled by vacuum from the centrifugal force described next) enters the TC (#1 to #2) and is immediately diverted back to the veins braised into the TC housing (#2 to #3 known as the "Pump"). These veins now cause the fluid to be re-diverted toward part #4 (known as the "Turbine") through it's fins and those fins catch the fluid against the face of those fins and deflect the fluid back in the reverse direction (up and out #5). This is what pushes the vehicle forward as the turbine is splined to the input shaft of the Transmission. The fluid is then directed to the Stator (#5 to #6) where magic happens and the fluid is diverted back out of the TC and to the tranny.
Since the TC is bolted to the flexplate (that is bolted to the crankshaft of the motor) the TC is constantly spinning with the motor (not the transmission). Thus the fluid is constantly spinning around the inside of the TC and creating a small amount of forward force (or backward if that gear is selected) as motor RPMs increase more and more driving force between the Pump (#3) and the Turbine (#4) is created as the fluid moves from one to the other. There is a point, called "Stall Speed", at which the fluid moving from the Pump to the Turbine is creating so much force that the fluid "backs up" on itself and starts to bog the motor down. You can find your stall speed by crushing the brakes and reving the motor as high as it will go in gear (truck stopped of course). The point that the motor will no longer increase in RPMs is the stall speed of the TC. For trucks it is normally in the 1800 to 2500 RPMs and depends on what the truck was built to do. The higher the stall speed of the TC the more torque is produced down low in the RPMs to do work (think Tow Truck) BUT the higher the stall speed the more the TC heats the fluid moving through it. Since our trucks are turbocharged the engineers at Ford settled on a mid stall speed so that our Turbos would start producing airflow quicker and we would notice less lag from a standstill. There is a give and take.
*If you try to find your stall speed do it quickly, this test creates a lot of heat in the tranny's fluid*

So it never really "unlocks", it just releases some of the pressure? Ok. So, what is the proper way to come down a hill? Keep tapping the accelerator to keep the TC locked? Right now I only have a 7000lb trailer, but will be going heavier later. With my old gasser, I let the engine help keep things under control. Just trying to learn the best way to come off the big hills. Thanks.
With a stock trans you can take it out of OD which will help some... The best way to get the help from the trans like you are looking for is an upgraded VB and some tunes.
Agreed, custom tunes are written with deceleration in mind (unlike what the Engineers at Ford gave us). As long as the TC is locked you are getting no torque manipulation from the turbine BUT you are also getting no slipping as is the case when going down a hill. As stated above when you accelerate the fluid moving from the pump (attached to the motor) to the face of the turbine (attached to the Transmission) spins the turbine that spins the trans that spins the wheels. On decel everything is working backward, the engine is slowing down (so the pump is slowing down) BUT the wheels want to move faster (spinning the trans faster and then the turbine faster). The engine is no longer the dominating force in the TC and the truck speeds up (I know, long setup). With tunes the writers have programmed their chips so that as you decelerate the trans will stay locked allowing the engine to remain the dominating force to the wheels and thus uses it's compression to slow down the truck. My tunes Lock in 4th and in 3rd and will ride the engine, shifting itself, till the motor has slowed the wheels to about 20 MPH (depending on slope and trailer weight) before unlocking or me accelerating again. If you want more decelerating force then this you need to start looking toward a Exhaust Brake.
Ok, thanks. I know I will need an exhaust brake, there is an after market one on the exhaust now, but when I had some oil leaks taken care of, I was told the brand doesn't make the parts to rebuild it. I understand the system of the TC a bit better now. I was really at a loss as to how I was going to get down the hills in a normal fashion. This is my first diesel. And I think I did enough research to know to get an OBS 7.3. I'm on a budget, so I'll take things slow. But I do know that with this truck, I can at least haul the family camper around without wondering if we will get up the next hill or not. This forum is full of education, everyday I read something that educates an old dog. Thanks
There is a bnib pacbrake on Atlanta craigslist for like $400 Obo, and if I hit the od off button going down hill the tc locks in third and slows the truck a bit, unless it's steep, then it speeds up, but slower lol
Thanks for that bit of advice. So dropping out of overdrive, does that keep the TC locked in 3rd? Or, as I have read, after a certain amount time, will it still unlock?

The Nine: Brother's Keeper
(S01E04) It's interesting how this show is becoming something different than how it started. Oh, the set up is the same, a group of strangers coming together after a horrifying bank hostage situation. But the stage it's in now is intriguing. The group started out as complete strangers who just happened to find each other together at a bank. Then, they find themselves becoming great friends and even meeting on a regular basis for dinner to help each other through this. And now comes the inevitable third stage: still great friends, but little differences in opinion are starting to create little irritations and disagreements.
And we find out that one of the bank robbers had a chance to escape, but decided to go back into the bank...
The major disagreement is what should happen to Randall, who survived Jeremy's attempt on his life but now needs a liver transplant or he'll die. Some of the group wants to save him (Lizzie), some are indifferent, and some want him to just die for what he put them through (Egan, Nick). LIzzie goes to Lucas and says she needs his help in getting Randall the liver. Oddly, Lucas seems one of the more level-headed and calm of the people who were in the bank that day, even if he was one of the bank robbers.
Egan puts together a bachelor party for a friend, and Jeremy goes. Meanwhile, Franny is getting phone calls from Ricky's dad, who is in prison. Nick wants her to talk to Kathryn.
Randall and Lucas' mom shows up to talk to Lucas and says that she's there for him. She's kinda screwed up too, and doesn't want to give Randall her liver because of an operation she had recently.
Lucas goes to visit Randall in the hospital. They reminisce about their days as kids where they pretended they were The Wonder Twins ("Wonder Twins power activate!"). Randall tells Lucas he's going to give him a piece of his liver to save him. They go to knock hands together, but Lucas wants to hold Randall's hand instead. Lizzie watches this from another room, where Jeremy tells her he wants to be a part of the baby's life.
This isn't the easiest show to recap/review. There are lots of characters, but everything is so damn intertwined and complex that it's sometimes hard to recap a look or a conversation or something else that not only happens but means something else in the bigger scheme of things. It's like trying to review an episode of a soap opera without having seen any other episodes (and I mean soap opera in a good way). This was another good episode. This show dares to be a serious drama about emotions, but never falls into that touchy-feeling trap. And those little snippets of bank robbery flashbacks are getting more and more interesting...Randall gave Lucas the bag of money and told him to escape. But Lucas came back.

We the undersigned hereby petition...
Dear Samsung, Before us, you were a nobody in the Android Arena. HTC and Motorola ruled the landscape. We turned around your fortunes. Ice Cream Sandwich is touted as the biggest change to Android in a long time. Its beautiful, its fast and we want it. After reading this (http://zomgitscj.com/2011/12/23/no-android-4-0-ics-for-original-galaxy-s-tab/) we are disappointed. You say that our hardware will not support it, we ask you how does the similarly specced Nexus S run it so smoothly? You say our hardware is insufficient to run Ice Cream Sandwich along with your TouchWiz smoothly. We will remind you that we have one of the best GPU's around. Given that ICS supports hardware acceleration, we feel that you are being a bit lazy with your coding. We are sure you can manage to make even a TouchWized ICS run smoothly on our devices. If you remember the HTC Desire, HTC had said that it would not run Sense UI and Gingerbread. After a lot of uproar, HTC decided to give their users the option of running an unskinned Gingerbread on their Desires. It voided their users' warranty, but at least it gave them an option. Since most of your Galaxy S devices will already be out of warranty or almost out of warranty, we feel we deserve at least this much. Bring a de-Touchwized Ice Cream Sandwich to our devices. Its the least you can do. Yours Sincerely, The Galaxy S Family

Health care organizations are inundated with more data than ever, and even in the face of increasing pressures to adapt, many still struggle to turn this data into action. Our industry has transformed- and while some health plans and providers are maintaining the status quo, others are developing long-term road maps to switch from a reactive to a predictive healthcare organization.
Despite the overwhelming "big data" challenge, how did these trailblazers get started? Join Dr. Graham Hughes has he shares how payers and providers are successfully navigating an unpredictable market using health analytics. He'll illustrate how five analytic imperatives can create a deeper, data-driven understanding of patients, costs, quality, outcomes and more.

error msg: There is no application set to open the URL js-frame:updateCount/0.
I tried to upgrade and install the program, but when I try to run it I just get this message:
There is no application set to open the URL js-frame:updateCount/0.
All responses
I also getting the same message. How to stop these annoyance?
me too, please advise!
Any chance that any of you are using script-blocking plugins? (just a thought, based on other reports of similar messages)
Best regards,

thanks Randoplph, but no. Strange thing is, i get the error on my imac but not on my MBP retina
Hi There,
So this happens with the Mac App, but only on one of your systems? Which version of OSX are you running on those two machines, are they different?
For the moment, please try downloading the latest version from the main website and install over it.
This is an interesting discussion, but I'm still not able to use Todoist and don't know what to do. What's the answer? I'm a brand new user and if there isn't a solution I'll go on to another Reminder program, although I would rather make Todoist work.
I'm running Mavericks on my MacBook
Please tell me - are you using any ad- or script-blocking apps, especially in Safari (as our Mac app uses Safari to connect)?
Best regards,
I have this problem too using Safari. Not using any block extensions. Only Evernote web clipper and 1Password.
Please tell me - have you tried disabling these to see if it helps?
Best regards,
Yes, I did and it didn't help. BTW, this happens when you click on the logo in the lower left corner of the Mac app. I wonder if it's supposed to open a link in Safari.
I have passed it to the developers now, we'll look into it.
Best regards,

CHAPPAQUA, NY. (CBS.MW) -- By any measure, 2004 was quite a year for the Capital Research and Management Company, which sponsors the 29 stock, bond and money-market mutual funds in the American Funds family.
The firm's popular Growth Fund of America AGTHX, +0.60% became the largest actively managed U.S. stock fund and the second-largest behind the passively managed Vanguard 500 Index Fund VFINX, +0.88%
Total net assets in Growth Fund of America's 14 share classes swelled to $95 billion as of Dec. 31 from $65 billion at the end of 2003 - trailing only the $107 billion total of its two-class Vanguard rival, which tracks the Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +0.88% according to the fund companies.
As if the Growth Fund's $30 billion net asset surge in 2004 wasn't enough to celebrate at Los Angeles-based Capital Research, two of the firm's cornerstone value-stock funds, Investment Company of America AIVSX, +1.04% and Washington Mutual Investors Fund AWSHX, +1.02% also rose in rank. The pair's assets of $76 billion each at Dec. 31 tied them for second place among actively managed equity funds.
That Growth Fund of America has become the nation's largest actively managed stock fund, as well as the largest actively managed mutual fund in any category, may come as a surprise, inasmuch as fanfare-shy Capital Research has been quiet about its achievement.
The feat might also have escaped followers of fund tracker Lipper's weekly compilation of performance figures for the 25 largest mutual funds, which provides total net assets for the latest month-end of single share-class funds and of the largest share classes of multi-class funds -- but not the totals of all classes.
Accordingly, Lipper's November list ranked the $58.2 billion total net assets of Growth Fund's Class A shares -- the fund's original class -- fifth among all fund classes and fourth among actively managed funds.
That put the fund behind Vanguard 500's Investor Class at $81.8 billion, Class A of sibling Investment Company of America at $63.6 billion, Fidelity Magellan Fund FMAGX, +0.72% at $62.6 billion and Class A of Washington Mutual Investors at $61.4 billion. (Lipper's Dec. 31 data for these five funds are expected Friday, but data from the fund companies indicate no change in positions.)
Trading places
Last year's re-ranking among the largest U.S. stock funds was not widely expected at the end of 2003. With net assets of $93 billion and $68 billion, respectively, Vanguard 500 and Fidelity Magellan were then in familiar positions as the largest stock fund and the largest actively managed fund.
Those with access to funds' month-end data, however, may have noted that Investment Company of America appeared close to overtaking Magellan with net assets of $66.5 billion, with Growth Fund of America and Washington Mutual Investors not far behind.
By the end of January 2004, both Growth Fund of America and Investment Company of America had done just that.
Growth Fund of America's $70.7 billion at Jan. 31, 2004 displaced Magellan, which had slipped to $67.7 billion, making it the largest actively managed fund, and ICA, at $67.9 billion, took second place. By the end of last March, Washington Mutual Investors had passed Magellan, too.
Changes in a fund's total net assets are attributable to net sales or redemptions of shares, as well as to capital appreciation or depreciation. With Growth Fund, for example, net sales were by far the larger contributor in 2004; the fund's total return was 12 percent--slightly ahead of the S&P 500's 10.9 percent, but net assets grew by an exceptional 47 percent.
Magellan, in contrast, had the opposite experience. The largest fund from 1985 until it was dethroned by Vanguard 500 in April 2000, Magellan saw a 6.9 percent drop in net assets due to net redemptions, despite a 7.5 percent total return.
The Fidelity flagship's asset growth has been hindered not only by the bear market's impact on stock prices and shareholder redemptions, but also by the fact Fidelity closed the fund to new investors in September 1997 with net assets at $63.7 billion.

Summary: Cinderella was Walt Disney's return to feature-length "story" cartoons after eight years of turning out episodic pastiches like Make Mine Music and Three Caballeros. A few understandable liberties are taken with the original Charles Perrault fairy tale (the wicked stepsisters, for example, do not have their eyes pecked out by crows!) Otherwise, the story remains the same: Cinderella, treated as a slavey by her selfish stepfamily, dreams of going to the Prince's ball. She gets her wish courtesy of her Fairy Godmother, who does the pumpkin-into-coach bit, then delivers the requisite "be home by midnight" warning. Thoroughly enchanting the prince at the ball, our heroine hightails it at midnight, leaving a glass slipper behind. The Disney people do a terrific job building up suspense before the inevitable final romantic clinch. Not as momentous an animated achievement as, say, Snow White or Fantasia, Cinderella is a nonetheless delightful feature, enhanced immeasurably by the introduction of several "funny animal" characters (a Disney tradition that has held fast into the 1990s, as witness Pocahontas), and a host of a sprightly songs, including "Cinderelly," "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes," and -- best of all -- "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Craig Butler
Possibly the best version of what may be the most-told story of all time, Cinderella was a delightful return to form for Walt Disney and the Disney Studio. Directors Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske lavished a great deal of care and attention on the production, and it shows. The character designs are specific and precise, yet created without extraneous detail, making for easy, fluid animation. The transformation-for-the-Ball scene and the escape from the Palace, especially, are splendidly done. The story is compact and economical (notice how the picture moves from the breaking of the glass slipper to the wedding in a matter of seconds), yet maintains all of the necessary particulars. It has even been expanded to include the now-familiar Disney-talking animal friends. Here, they are charming and amusing -- and provide Cinderella with someone to talk to. Ilene Woods makes a marvelous Cinderella, her voice a combination of girlishness and sophistication; she also possesses a serenity and assurance which makes one feel she is more in control of her life than might be guessed by her surroundings. Eleanor Audley is an icily menacing Stepmother and Verna Felton's Fairy Godmother is the picture of warm befuddlement. Buoyed by a lovely score, Cinderella is a treat that bears many repeated viewings. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi

How to Squeeze Water Out of Frozen Spinach
Hate Squeezing Out Spinach? Use Cheesecloth
Like us on Facebook
I hate the idea of squeezing the moisture out of chopped spinach. How is it possible to wring out a mass of minced greens? Inevitably, everything falls apart and results in a mess. Then I was looking up spinach dip recipes online and spotted a picture of someone using cheesecloth. My life will never be the same again.
Have you ever had a lightbulb-kitchen moment like mine?

Asking for Help
No one likes to ask for help. But, sometimes you should. Sometimes you tell yourself that there may be times when you might really need additional help more than you do now. You don't want to impose or bother your friends. You know other family members have duties and responsibilities that seem equally as daunting as what you've taken on. But, the reality is that if you don't take care of your physical, mental, and emotional needs, you will not be as good a caregiver as you could be. Think about you and what you need. It's not selfish. It's appropriately caring for your family member by also making sure you are up to the task.
There are lots of ways to get help. Obviously, there are family members, friends, and your faith community. You can also ask for help from your local aging agency.
|Perhaps a friend could research available services such as Adult Day Care. Maybe he or she could find an online support group for you. Maybe your family members could help out once a week or even once a month to give you a break by sitting with your family member or shopping and running errands for you. Perhaps your faith community could organize a team approach to help out where one person would bring dinner over one night a week.
People love to help but they don't know what to do. And, they don't want to offend you or hurt your pride. So, they might never approach you while they wait for you to ask them to help and give them ideas on how to help.
Caregiver stress and depression are real. They are hard to deal with coupled with the realities of caregiving. Don't let yourself get to that state of mind. Ask for help before it gets to that point. Both you and your family member will be better served.
Caregiver Self-Assessment
The American Medical Association has developed on online checklist for caregivers to help assess the need for the caregiver to seek support. This may also be useful in deciding if you, the caregiver, need help.
Stress adversely affects health. It may be a gradual process or it can show immediately. Either way, it can cause serious health problems if not addressed.
Learn the warning signs of caregiver stress, why it's important to address stress, how to cope, national toll-free crisis hotline help, and how to get personalized help.
Caregiver Depression
Caregiver stress often leads to depression. Depression is common among family caregivers. Find out more about it.
Organizing a Volunteer Help Group
|When families are in crisis, they often are at a loss for how to ask for help even if they finally decide to ask for it. With so much going on, it seems daunting to have to take on yet another task - that of organizing friends, family, co-workers, church family, and other volunteers. The help is certainly needed but caregivers give up before they even ask for help.
There are resources that have been developed to address this very important need.
Sometimes just getting a break is all that you need. Sometimes getting a break is what makes everything work. That's what respite is - a break for caregivers. Find out more about what respite is and how to access this service for caregivers.
Support Groups
|Sometimes, talking to other individuals who are experiencing similar issues is very helpful. Participants can learn from each other, share the emotional and mental burdens of caregiving, and get needed time to process and explore solutions to problems and concerns. Support groups can provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to do these things.

The Collage Handbook
John and Joan Digby
The art of collage -- the pasting together of paper or other bits of ephemera -- has been practiced by artists ever since the invention of paper, but it is only in the twentieth century that it has emerged as a full-fledged art form in its own right. Some of its roots are in folk art; in all its guises it tends to use commonplace, everyday materials.
Its first modern flowering took place in the experimental hands of Picasso and Braque just before the First World War. However, it was during the War itself, among the dada groups of Zurich and Berlin, that contemporary collage, as it has developed up to the present day, was established in the work of Max Ernst, Hans Arp, and especially Kurt Schwitters, who set his personal seal on the art of combining throwaway scraps of paper with hidden and implied meanings.

The following excerpt is taken from The Collage Handbook by John and Joan Digby
(page 110)
Born in 1937 in Watertown, New York, Reginald Case was trained in painting and drawing at San Francisco State College and Boston University, where he received an M.F.A.
He came to collage in about 1975, attracted by a new world of subject-matter and effects that he could never have explored in conventional techniques. Although he studied art in a period dominated by abstract expressionism, still-life exerted a strong appeal on him, and in making still-life compositions he was drawn to taboo materials that violate traditional color harmony and taste. Almost in rebellion against the austerity of his training, he began to use flourescent paints and household enamel, metallic surfaces, fabric, trimmings, glitter, and Mylar sheeting. These he set against cut images borrowed from popular magazines and the work of earlier artists that he admired. Even the borrowings violated his training, which he shed progressively as the collages evolved.
In his first explorations he would project a collage composition onto canvas and paint from it. Finally, the direct quality of the collage textures led hiim to abandon the painting altogether and turn to collage as the final expression.
Despite what he calls his "outlandish" materials, the glitter and the trim, Case's collages are formal statements. Beyond the initial jolt of their intensity, they are figurative pieces that derive from American folk art with its patterned geometricities, repeating stencils, family trees, and dolls. In the naive he finds a "wonderment" that stands in opposition to contemporary abstraction. "Western tradition," he argues, "had obliterated pattern; collage gives it back." In his collages, particularly, pattern dominates so strongly as to eliminate empty space. He rejects altogether the white background. His most recent pieces cover even colored areas with total patterning, like the face of a pinball machine.
Enchanted as a youth with model railroad sets and movie facades, he returns to these in the collages, where the imagery often centers on American fantasy figures like Annie Oakley, Humphrey Bogart, Buffalo Bill, and Jean Harlow. Always in Case's collages there is the idea and formal organization of the stage. In recent work he has built the collage into a relief surface, extending the stage to a further, three-dimensional realization that sometimes includes miniature marquee lights.
Despite the subject-matter, his collages are not nostalgic or sentimental. In one series he chose to explore the Holocaust, setting German figures from the military and music hall against complex patterns of Jugendstil rugs, stained glass, furniture, and fragile butterfly wings.
In these and all of Reginald Case's collages there is an iconography of twentieth-century life that explores the patterned imagery at the roots of popular culture.

Armed vigilante militias are now patrolling towns in Mexico as a response to the government's failure to provide protection from criminal drug gangs. How far away is America from a similar situation?

Numerous doctors and other licensed medical staff working for the Oklahoma Corrections Department have less-than-spotless pasts, public records show.
Some Oklahoma prison doctors, medical staff have less-than-spotless backgrounds, records show
Many former prison medical staff had checkered histories, as well.
The group includes doctors with long struggles with substance abuse, a physician assistant disciplined for writing fictitious prescriptions and a former high-ranking official who left the state after allegations of sexual harassment were made by three female employees.
Such medical professionals, those with checkered pasts, commonly work for state agencies such as the state Corrections Department, said Lyle Kelsey, executive director of the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision.
"Sometimes, doctors that have been disciplined by the medical board and allowed to keep their medical license have a tough time finding employment," Kelsey said. "Due to the discipline, physicians may also find they are unable to be included as network providers on insurance programs."
Kelsey said these realities often force doctors and other medical staff to find jobs working for the government. Medical professionals with disciplinary records also work at the state Department of Veterans Affairs and medical facilities at Fort Sill, a federal installation.
Disciplined in the past
Several medical professionals currently employed by the state Corrections Department have been disciplined for substance abuse in the past — some of them multiple times.
Joel B. McCurdy, a medical doctor, is a regional supervising physician at the Joseph Harp Correctional Center in Lexington.
McCurdy, who isn't the only doctor with a history of substance abuse at Joseph Harp, tested positive for alcohol at least five times in 2005 and 2006, according to a complaint filed by the licensure board.
The complaint shows that McCurdy was treated at a rehabilitation facility three times between 2001 and 2006. He lost his medical license in 2006 and didn't get it back until late 2009, when he began working for the state Corrections Department.
McCurdy remains on indefinite probation, according to board records.
Another medical doctor with an extensive history of substance abuse is Ross Lane Fisher, who also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence in 2003.
Fisher, who is classified as a lead physician at the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center, was arrested a second time on a drunken driving complaint in 2005.
Fisher nearly lost his medical license in July 2006, but was instead placed on five years' probation. He successfully completed the probation in July 2011.
Joseph Balogh, also a medical doctor, has not been cited or disciplined by the state licensure board, but the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs took action against him in 2010 after he admitted to being addicted to drugs on an application to renew his narcotics registration with the bureau, documents show.
The order from the bureau shows that Balogh admitted in 2009 to being addicted to pain medications, and that he had been using cocaine "recreationally."

Beaker & Flask
727 SE Washington St., 235-8180, beakerandflask.com.
[DINNER & DRINKS] Lacking signage and located on a grayish industrial corner just off Southeast Sandy Boulevard, Beaker & Flask does not readily lend itself to a cohesive first impression. Is it a warehouse? A design studio? A car-dealership showroom? A peek inside does nothing to mitigate the confusion, revealing extensive use of concrete and chalkboard paint, chromed diner-style tables and chairs, and an enormous curved bar populated by a handful of middle-aged men in Tommy Bahama shirts who may or may not want to sell you a Honda. In any case, it was from this very bar, topped somewhat incongruously with homey-looking canned preserves, that we received some of the best cocktails we'd ever tasted. Keep in mind, though, these cocktails are strictly for grown-ups—nothing is blended with ice, or contains schnapps, or is even particularly sweet. (Highly recommended is the Devil in a Boot—a warming mix of smoky blended and single-malt scotch, Cynar and orange liqueur with a strip of orange peel.) The food menu is equally spectacular, offering a mix of deftly executed small and large plates such as a medium-rare grilled beef shoulder with spinach and roasted fingerling potatoes, an already addictive combination topped with a festive tuft of fried leeks. I'm still not sure what Beaker & Flask is selling, but whatever it is, I'm buying. KAT MERCK.
Ideal meal: Tails & Trotters pork belly with green beans, pesto and Manila clams.
Best deal: The seared quail on a bed of arugula, fennel and strawberries with basil pesto is a picture-perfect summer meal.

October 13, 2015
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Adrian Smith has defeated his Republican challenger in the primary race for Nebraska's 3rd Congressional District.
The four-term congressman on Tuesday beat Tom Brewer, who served for 36 years in the Nebraska National Guard was deployed six times to Afghanistan.
Smith has represented western Nebraska in the U.S. House since 2007. He serves on the powerful, tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
Brewer was a political newcomer who said he would offer the rural district stronger and more independent leadership if he's elected. He continued his campaign even after he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Smith will face Democrat Mark Sullivan in the November general election. The overwhelmingly rural and conservative district encompasses the western three-fourths of Nebraska.

Video conferencing technology presents a number of benefits for companies, including enhanced collaboration between employees. With a cutting-edge communications platform, workers can reach out to remote colleagues and discuss sensitive matters.
According to the Interactive Multimedia & Collaborative Communications Alliance, conferencing channels strengthen work relationships by allowing associates to see each other. When there's a visual element to interaction, employees are less likely to "demonize people."
Additionally, the IMCCA explains that video conferencing software allows managers to find the best workers for every position. By implementing new technology, supervisors can assign sensitive tasks to expert employees who can't come to the office on a regular basis.
For instance, if a staff member is moving, he or she can use the software to telecommute. As a result, you'll retain a key contributor so you can avoid recruiting and training another candidate. Moreover, you can ask your remote employee to conduct webinars to help your remaining in-office workers develop new skills.
Staff members need to collaborate in order to finish important projects and grow as professionals. Video conferencing applications can ensure that workers can stay in constant contact with each other regardless of their locations.

At the NCAA's annual convention in Dallas last month, its board of directors adopted 25 new proposals deregulating in areas like personnel, recruiting, eligibility, benefits and expenses, among others.
College football: A look at the NCAA's new recruiting proposals
The items receiving the most interest are those dealing with recruiting. The only proposal the board considered — but didn't approve — was to allow a prospect's recruitment to begin July 1 before their junior year of high school. That proposal was tabled for further discussion in April.
Here are the three most significant changes to NCAA recruiting rules approved in January.
* The elimination of restrictions on methods and modes of communication during recruiting. This proposal is effective July 1.
This is the change likely to make the biggest impact, and the one causing the most controversy. This change eliminates "dead periods," during which no contact is allowed; removes limits on the number of calls that can be placed to recruits; and reverses the NCAA's 2007 ban on text messaging from coaches to prospects. The nation's most coveted, undecided prospects could find themselves buried in calls and texts.
