|Agency overview
|10 May 1950
|Arlington, VA
|Annual Budget
|$5.91 billion for 2007
|Agency Executive
|Arden L. Bement Jr., Director
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a United States government agency that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering. Its medical counterpart is the National Institutes of Health. With an annual budget of about $5.91 billion (fiscal year 2007), NSF funds approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by the United States' colleges and universities. In some fields, such as mathematics, computer science, economics and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing.
The NSF's director, its deputy director, and the 24 members of the National Science Board (NSB)[1] are appointed by the President of the United States, and confirmed by the United States Senate. The director and deputy director are responsible for administration, planning, budgeting and day-to-day operations of the foundation, while the NSB meets six times a year to establish its overall policies. The current NSF director is Dr. Arden L. Bement, Jr., and the current deputy director is Dr. Kathie L. Olsen.
Grants and the merit review process
Although many other federal research agencies operate their own laboratories—notable examples being the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—NSF does not. Instead, it seeks to fulfill its mission chiefly by issuing competitive, limited-term grants in response to specific proposals from the research community. (NSF also makes some contracts.) Some proposals are solicited, and some are not; NSF funds both kinds.
NSF receives about 40,000 such proposals each year, and funds about 10,000 of them. Those funded are typically the projects that are ranked highest in a merit review process. These reviews are carried out by panels of independent scientists, engineers and educators who are experts in the relevant fields of study, and who are selected by NSF with particular attention to avoiding conflicts of interest. (For example, the reviewers cannot work at NSF itself, nor for the institution that employs the proposing researchers.) All proposal evaluations are confidential.
Most NSF grants go to individuals or small groups of investigators who carry out research at their home campuses. Other grants provide funding for mid-scale research centers, instruments and facilities that serve researchers from many institutions. Still others fund national-scale facilities that are shared by the research community as a whole. Examples of national facilities include NSF's national observatories, with their giant optical and radio telescopes; its Antarctic research sites; its high-end computer facilities and ultra-high-speed network connections; the ships and submersibles used for ocean research; and its gravitational wave observatories.
In addition to researchers and research facilities, NSF grants also support science, engineering and mathematics education from pre-K through graduate school. Undergraduates can receive funding through REU summer programs.[2] Graduate students are supported through IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education Research Traineeships)[3] and AGEP (Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate) programs[4] and through the Graduate Research Fellowships, NSF-GRF.
Scope and organization
NSF's workforce numbers about 1700, nearly all working at its Arlington, Virginia headquarters. That includes about 1200 career employees, 150 scientists from research institutions on temporary duty, 200 contract workers, and the staff of the National Science Board office and the Office of the Inspector General, which examines the foundation's work and reports to the NSB and Congress.
Research directorates
NSF organizes its research and education support through seven directorates, each encompassing several disciplines:
- Biological Sciences (molecular, cellular, and organismal biology, environmental science)
- Computer and Information Science and Engineering (fundamental computer science, computer and networking systems, and artificial intelligence)
- Engineering (bioengineering, environmental systems, civil and mechanical systems, chemical and transport systems, electrical and communications systems, and design and manufacturing)
- Geosciences (geological, atmospheric and ocean sciences)
- Mathematical and Physical Sciences (mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry and materials science)
- Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (neuroscience, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and economics)
- Education and Human Resources (science, technology, engineering and mathematics education at every level, pre-K to grey)
Other research offices
NSF also supports research through several offices within the Office of the Director:
- Office of Cyberinfrastructure
- Office of Polar Programs
- Office of Integrative Activities
- Office of International Science and Engineering
Crosscutting programs
In addition to the research it funds in specific disciplines, NSF has launched a number of crosscutting projects that coordinate the efforts of experts in many disciplines. Examples include initiatives in:
In many cases, these projects involve collaborations with other U.S. federal agencies.
History and mission
The NSF was established by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950. Its stated mission:
- To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense.
Some historians of science have argued that the result was an unsatisfactory compromise between too many clashing visions of the purpose and scope of the federal government.[5] NSF was certainly not the primary government agency for the funding of basic science, as its supporters had originally envisioned in the aftermath of World War II. By 1950, support for major areas of research had already become dominated by specialized agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (medical research) and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (nuclear and particle physics). That pattern would continue after 1957, when U.S. anxiety over the launch of Sputnik led to the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (space science) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (defense-related research).
Nonetheless, NSF's scope has expanded over the years to include many areas that were not in its initial portfolio, including the social and behavioral sciences, engineering, and science and mathematics education. Today, as described in its 2003–2008 strategic plan, NSF is the only U. S. federal agency with a mandate to support all the non-medical fields of research.
In the process, moreover, the foundation has come to enjoy strong bipartisan support from Congress. Especially after the technology boom of the 1980s, both sides of the aisle have generally embraced the notion that government-funded basic research is essential for the nation's economic health and global competitiveness, as well as for the national defense. That support has manifested itself in an expanding budget—from $1 billion in 1983 to just over $5.91 billion by FY 2007. (fiscal year 2007).
- Pre-World War II
- Academic research in science and engineering is not considered a federal responsibility; almost all support comes from private contributions and charitable foundations.
- World War II
- There is a growing awareness that America's military capability owes a great deal to the nation's strength in science and engineering. Congress considers several proposals to provide federal support for research in these fields.
- 1945
- Vannevar Bush, head of the government's wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development, issues a report to President Harry S. Truman, entitled Science—The Endless Frontier. The report lays out a strong case for having the federal government fund scientific research, arguing that the nation would reap rich dividends in the form of better health care, a more vigorous economy, and a stronger national defense. The report also proposes creating a new federal agency, the "National Research Foundation," to administer this effort.
- 1945–1950
- Although there is broad agreement in Washington with the principle of federal support for science, there is far less agreement on exactly how that effort should be organized and managed. Thrashing out a consensus requires five years of negotiation and compromise.[6]
- 1950
- On May 10, President Truman signs Public Law 507, creating the National Science Foundation. The act provides for a National Science Board of twenty-four part-time members and a director as chief executive officer, all appointed by the president.
- 1951
- In early March, Truman nominates Alan T. Waterman, the chief scientist at the Office of Naval Research, to become the first Director of the fledgling agency. With the Korean War underway, money is tight: the agency's initial budget is just $151,000.
- 1952
- After moving its administrative offices twice, NSF begins its first full year of operations with an appropriation from Congress of just $3.5 million, a figure far less the almost $33.5 million requested. Twenty-eight research grants are awarded.
- 1957
- On October 5, the Soviet Union orbits Sputnik 1, the first ever man-made satellite. The successful rocket launch forces a national self-appraisal that questions American education, scientific, technical and industrial strength. For 1959, Congress increases the NSF appropriation to $134 million, nearly $100 million higher than the year before. By 1968, the NSF budget will stand at nearly $500 million.
- 1958
- NSF selects Kitt Peak, near Tucson, Arizona, as the site of the first national observatory, a research center that would make state-of-the-art telescopes available to every astronomer in the nation. (Prior to this time, there was no equal access; major research telescopes were privately funded, and were available only to the astronomers who taught at the universities that ran them.) Today, that idea has expanded to encompass the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, the National Solar Observatory, the Gemini Observatory and the Arecibo Observatory, all of which are funded in whole or in part by NSF. Along the way, moreover, NSF's astronomy program has forged a close working relationship with that of NASA, which was also founded in 1958: just as NASA has responsibility for the U. S. effort in space-based astronomy, NSF provides virtually all the U. S. federal support for ground-based astronomy.
- 1959
- The United States and other nations operating in Antarctica conclude a treaty that reserves the continent for peaceful and scientific research. Shortly thereafter, a presidential directive based on the treaty gives NSF the responsibility for virtually all U.S. operations and research on the continent; the U.S. Antarctic Program continues to this day.
- 1960
- Emphasis on international scientific and technological competition further accelerates NSF growth. The Foundation starts the Institutional Support Program, a capital funding program designed to build a research infrastructure among American universities; it will be the single largest beneficiary of NSF budget growth in the 1960s. NSF's appropriation is $152.7 million; 2,000 grants are made.
- 1968
- The Deep Sea Drilling Project begins. Over the years, the project reveals much new evidence about the theories of continental drift, sea floor spreading and the general usefulness of the ocean basins. The program also becomes a model of international cooperation as several foreign countries join the operation.
- 1972
- NSF takes over management of twelve interdisciplinary materials research laboratories from the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). These university-based laboratories had taken a more integrated approach than did most academic departments at the time, encouraging physicists, chemists, engineers, and metallurgists to cross departmental boundaries and use systems approaches to attack complex problems of materials synthesis or processing. NSF begins to expand these laboratories into a nationwide network of Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers.
- 1977
- The first "Internet" is developed. This interconnection of unrelated networks is run by DARPA. Over the next decade, increasing NSF involvement leads to a three-tiered system of internetworks managed by a mix of universities, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. By the mid-1980s, primary financial support for the growing project is assumed by the NSF.[7]
- 1983
- The agency budget tops $1 billion for the first time. Major increases in the nation's research budget are proposed as the country recognizes the importance of research in science and technology, as well as education. A separate appropriation is established for the U.S. Antarctic Program. NSF receives more than 27,000 proposals and funds more than 12,000 of them.
- 1985
- In November NSF delivers ozone sensors, along with balloons and helium, to researchers at the South Pole so they can measure stratospheric ozone loss. The action is taken in response to findings made in May of that year, indicating a steep drop in ozone over a period of several years. The Internet project, now known as NSFNET, continues.
- 1990
- NSF's appropriation passes $2 billion for the first time.
- 1990s
- NSF funds the development of several curricula based on the NCTM standards, devised by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. These standards are widely adopted by school districts during the subsequent decade. However, in what newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal later call the "math wars", organizations such as Mathematically Correct complain that some elementary texts based on the standards, including Mathland, have almost entirely abandoned any instruction of traditional arithmetic in favor of cutting, coloring, pasting, and writing. During that debate, NSF is both lauded and criticized for favoring the standards.
- 1991
- In March, the NSFNET acceptable use policy is altered to allow commercial traffic. By 1995, with the private, commercial market thriving, NSF decommissions the NSFNET, allowing for public use of the Internet.
- 1993
- Students and staff working at the NSF-supported National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, develop Mosaic, the first freely available browser to allow World Wide Web pages that include both graphics and text. Within 18 months, NCSA Mosaic becomes the Web browser of choice for more than a million users, and sets off an exponential growth in the number of Web users.
- 1994
- NSF, together with NASA and DARPA, launches the Digital Library Initiative. One of the first six grants goes to Stanford University, where two graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, begin to develop a search engine that uses the links between Web pages as a ranking method. They will later commercialize their search engine under the name Google.
- 1996
- NSF-funded research establishes beyond doubt that the chemistry of the atmosphere above Antarctica is grossly abnormal and that levels of key chlorine compounds are greatly elevated. During two months of intense work, NSF researchers learn most of what we know today about the ozone hole.
- 1998
- Two independent teams of NSF-supported astronomers discover that the expansion of the universe is actually speeding up, as if some previously unknown force, now known as dark energy, is driving the galaxies apart at an ever increasing rate.
- 2000
- NSF joins with other federal agencies in the National Nanotechnology Initiative, dedicated to the understanding and control of matter at the atomic and molecular scale. Today, NSF's roughly $300 million annual investment in nanotechnology research is still one of the largest in the 23-agency initiative.
- 2001
- NSF's appropriation passes $4 billion.
- The NSF's Survey of Public Attitudes Toward and Understanding of Science and Technology reveals that the public has a positive attitude toward science but a poor understanding of it.[8]
- 2004–5
- NSF sends "rapid response" research teams to investigate the aftermath of the Indian Ocean Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. An NSF-funded engineering team helps uncover why the levees failed in New Orleans.
- 2005
- NSF's budget stands at just over $5.6 billion.
- 2006
- NSF's budget stands at $5.91 billion for the 2007 fiscal year that began on October 1, 2006 and runs through September 30, 2007.
- 2007
- NSF requests $6.43 billion dollars for FY 2008. (NSF Budgets).
Public attitudes and understanding
NSF surveys of public attitudes and knowledge have consistently shown that the public has a positive view of science but has little scientific understanding. The greatest deficit remains the public's understanding of the scientific method.[9]

The cold front that barged into Kansas City didn't keep music fans away from Day 2 of Ink's Middle of the Map Fest. Crowds were big at most of the six venues, including the outdoor stage and they got the usual dose of music from local, national and international bands.
The Get Up Kids were that stage's headliners. Friday's set was the first time in four years the Kansas City band performed in North America. They gave a chilled but responsive crowd of several hundred a long set filled with lots of older material, songs like "Holiday" "Action Action" and "Red Letter Day," which typify the Kids' signature sound: high-speed and brimming with melody, energy and emotion.
They changed up the pace a few times, rendering ballads like "Valentine" and "Better Half," which prompted some slow dancing between a few couples (which was another way to keep warm). Occasionally, lead singer Matt Pryor handed vocal duties over to guitarist Jim Suptic, as on "Woodson," another high-speed anthem with a jackhammer guitar riff. He also sang lead on "Campfire Kansas," accompanied only on keyboards by James Dewees.
Before "Coming Clean," from the breakthrough "Four Minute Mile" album, Pryor recalled the genesis of the song, which was written inside Buzzard Beach, a nearby Westport bar, which prompted another story about a bicycle ride with a homeless man. Also on the setlist: "Rememorable," "Close to Home" and "Don't Hate Me."
Other performances
Cowboy Indian Bear, a five-piece Lawrence band opened the outdoor stage Friday evening, when a stiff breeze delivered a biting wind chill. Their music was a nice antidote to the wintry air, however: sunny melodies and airy, layered guitar/keyboard arrangements and lots of lovely harmonies.
Lawrence-based Oils was the first of six bands to perform at the RecordBar on Friday. Three members of the sextet spent much of their intriguing set kneeling on the floor manipulating pedals and keyboards. Taryn Miller, the woman behind the acclaimed project Your Friend, sang background vocals and served as one of Oil's two drummers. The spasmodic gesticulating of the demonstrative front man Andrew Frederick once sent his glasses flying from his face. With ecstatic vocals and hypnotic rhythms, "Rain" sounded a bit like a ramshackle version of the Feelies. The off-kilter jangle of "Duck" resembled Pavement. Oils may be only a few minor adjustments away from establishing a noteworthy identity of its own.
Inside the Riot Room, local songwriter Mat Shoare put together a band to fill in as replacements for the Great American Canyon Band, who had to cancel their set. Shoare writes the kind of songs that find a balance between Paul Simon and A.C. Newman, with maybe a bit of Neil Finn in there. They're typically poppy and well-crafted with thoughtful or clever lyrics, even the song about revenge and murder-for-hire.
The Supernauts enjoyed next-big-thing status last decade. Grand-scale success never materialized for the Missouri-based band. Friday's appearance at the RecordBar was one of the Supernaut's periodic reunion shows. The quartet's muscular performance proved that the band remains potent.
Brimming with barroom bluster, the Supernauts work in the testosterone-fueled tradition of Cream and Led Zeppelin. Guitarist Tim Braun is now best known for his tasteful work in jazz and R ensembles. He played like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page on Friday. Vocalist Jordan Smith possesses some of the swagger and vocal command of Robert Plant. Kian Byrne of the Elders sat in on bass while drummer John Whitaker walloped the drums. In their most powerful moments the Supernauts still sound as if they belong on much larger stages.
William Elliotte Whitmore followed Cowboy Indian Bear on the outdoor stage and he changed the vibe into a stripped-down back-porch setting. Playing solo on guitar and banjo, he sang songs and told stories, like "Johnny Law," and fulfilled a request or two ("Don't Need It").
Drop A Grand drew a big crowd inside the Riot Room for its riotous set. The local all-star band appeared in its usual costume attire, which includes wigs, ski masks, a super-hero-like mask and outlandish sunglasses. Their music is manic, deranged psycho-punk blues. Some of their songs come and go in less than a minute. They were joined on stage by jazz musician Rich Wheeler, who added some skronky no-wave licks to their sound.
J. Roddy Walston gave an audience of about 1,000 a succinct summation of his approach at the outdoor stage on Friday. "I write a lot of simple songs you can sing even if you've never heard them before," he said.
The shaggy Southern boogie band he leads fuses the wild-eyed fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis with the pop savvy of Kings of Leon. Walston's craggy voice- the Baltimore-based band's most distinctive asset- sounds as if its been marinated in whiskey and ravaged by ill-spent evenings in smoky dives.
Walston crafts songs that are slick enough to receive support from radio programmers at stations including Kansas City's 96.5 the Buzz and 90.9 the Bridge. Most of the sprawling crowd sang along to the familiar radio favorites "Take It As It Comes" and "Heavy Bells."
Over at the Westport Saloon, the Naughty Pines, a local country-cover band, entertained a nearly full room. The band renders faithful versions of songs by legends like Charlie Louvin, Lefty Frizzel and others. Kasey Rausch, one of two lead vocalists, sang a wonderful cover of "Silver Bells and Golden Needles."
The members of Wolf Eyes dress like heavy metal musicians, but their performance at the outdoor patio of the Riot Room on Friday made the output of even the most extreme death metal bands seem lightweight.
The deeply troubling performance by the veteran Detroit-based trio was a vicious assault on melody and rhythm. A guitarist played doom-laden riffs and squalls of noise as his band mate manipulated oppressive backing tracks. The vocalist's processed voice sounded like a tortured transmission from the depths of hell.
While a couple of selections including "Choking Flies" possessed a semblance of continuity, the confrontational trio usually seemed to deliberately play out of sync with one another.
By deconstructing the very idea of music, Wolf Eyes forced the few dozen people who braved its punishing set to reexamine the ways in which they respond to sound.
Veteran Kansas City songwriter Howard Iceberg and his Titanics followed the Naughty Pines at the Westport Saloon, delivering a splendid set of some of his best-known material, like "Sentimental" and "Disconnected."
"At the Helm," Del the Funky Homosapien's opening selection at Ernie Biggs on Friday, served as the rapper's forceful statement of purpose. By asserting that rap is "about fluency with rhyming ingenuity," the hip-hop legend from California distanced himself from the shallow sounds that have dominated the music's mainstream in recent years.
Since the release of his debut album in 1991, Del has been a leading figure of the conscious hip-hop movement. He applied his advanced flow and expressive voice to many of his most popular songs. The hit-laden setlist included the infectious "Mistadobalina," "Virus" from the classic self-titled 2000 album by Del's hip-hop group Deltron 3030, the "real hip-hop" of "Phoney Phranchise" and "Catch A Bad One," a 1993 selection that samples an Eric Dolphy track.
The nuances of the complex material were lost in the unaccommodating setting. Del seemed less like the headlining act at a festival than an entertainer at a poorly planned fraternity party. Not only were the production values minimal, blazing house lights illuminated portions of the tightly-packed capacity audience better than the stage.
The British band Fanfarlo played the closing set at the RecordBar. The five-piece plays an interesting blend of folk, rock, pop and electronica, employing an array of instruments: keyboards, horns, mandolin, clarinet. Lead singer Simon Balthazar, who was celebrating his birthday, even chipped in some saxophone solos. Their setlist included "Deconstruction," "I'm a Pilot" and "Vostok, I Know You Are Waiting."
The Rollfast Ramblers, a Texas swing band from Austin, Texas, closed out the night at the Westport Saloon, giving the diehards who needed more music past 2 a.m. one more chance to dance and sing-along.

Commissioners/Committee: Chair Bryan Abbott, Gary Benz, John Olvany
Commissioners: James Crowley
Staff: Steve Wilson, Kathy Bingham, Ken Eppelheimer, Shelagh Donoghue,
Cindy Felicicchia
Dave Olson and Dave Ridderhoff from W.B. Olson, Inc.
Bill Lambrecht, Holly Specht
I. Meeting Called to Order
Meeting called to order 8:00 a.m.
II. Approval of Minutes
A. Commissioner Benz moved to approve the minutes from the May 5, 2014 committee meeting, Olvany seconded; all voted yes, the motion carried.
B. Commissioner Olvany moved to approve the minutes from the May 5, 2014 Closed Session committee meeting, Benz seconded; all voted yes, the motion carried.
III. Communication and Correspondence
Commissioner Abbott acknowledged an email from Mary Shea complementing the District in regards to hiring a project manager to oversee the Lakefront Master Plan. Commissioner Benz remarked that there were a few non-factual statements in regards to Mary Shea's letter; Commissioner Abbott agreed. Commissioner Abbott will respond to Ms. Shea's email directly.
IV. Recognition of Visitors
Commissioner Abbott recognized Dave Olson and Dave Ridderhoff from W.B. Olson, Inc. who are in attendance to speak in regards to their conceptual estimate of the Lakefront Master Plan.
V. Manager's Report
Superintendent Kathy Bingham reported on the following topics:
- The last two weekends at the Lakefront went well with no rain and good starting crowds that were manageable.
- The water temperature was 56 degree and getting warmer.
- Director Wilson stated that the District's beach is one of the only District's that take daily logs on water temperature, air temperature, wind speed and wave height. This allowed the District to look back and see that the water temperature was actually 3 degrees warmer compared to the past couple of years on the first day of opening.
- Camps are starting on June 16th.
Commissioner Olvany commented on police activity at the lakefront and asked if there was a log of incidents. Director Wilson stated that the police have started off with a heavier than normal presence due to the colder spring weather and delayed park activities. Director Wilson stated there is no formal log, but he does get updates from the Chief of Police on a regular basis. Superintendent Bingham commented that the park staff will oversee any issues that may arise and get management involved when necessary.
VI. Lakefront Master Plan
Dave Olson informed the committee that W.B. Olson was hired to put a budget together based on the concept that was developed for the Lakefront Master Plan. Mr. Olson stated that W.B. Olson looks at the budget along with their experiences to put together costs that may not be apparent. He stated that they use historical data from past projects to make assumptions, and also spend time with staff and the design team in order to vet those assumptions. Mr. Olson stated that they have allocated money for everything they have anticipated and the designers have anticipated. Commissioner Olvany questioned unit price. Mr. Olson stated unit price is based on all subcomponents of the process and an all-inclusive price which is easier to keep track of in the spending process.
Dave Olson commented on items that should be considered, such as, whether to pave over existing roads or should the roads be totally replaced. Mr. Olson suggested we take boring samples of soil and concrete in a number of locations. Commissioner Benz asked about concrete cost and asphalt cost differences. Dave Ridderhoff from W.B. Olson stated that asphalt is $30-$35 a yard and concrete is probably double that. Mr. Olson's recommendation in regards to restoration or replacement of the roads will be based on further investigation of soil and concrete borings. Mr. Olson stated that the next step would be for the engineers to analyze those borings in order to come up with a pavement recommendation. Commissioner Benz asked about the length of time the boring process would take. Mr. Olson stated 6-8 weeks with the cost being more than $3,000 but less than $8,000.
Mr. Olson commented on discussions he had with Superintendent Lambrecht regarding leaving the current roadway lighting. Mr. Olson stated that the poles and foundations are in good shape. Commissioner Abbott stated that staff recommends eliminating the roadway lighting as outlined until a later date.
Commissioner Benz asked about the curbs. Mr. Olson stated they would be replaced. Commissioner Abbott discussed the parking area at the beach. He stated that the parking lot and curbs will be refurbished. Mr. Olson stated that their thoughts were to patch the parking lot which looks to be in pretty good shape. Commissioner Olvany commented on the parking lot being a big area of change. Mr. Olson stated that they are not proposing any change to the topography of the lot as proposed by JJR. What they are proposing is if the base of the existing asphalt is adequate they would saw cut the rest and add on to it to match the JJR design. The aesthetics would not be affected by this change. Commissioner Olvany questioned why W.B. Olson's numbers were 1 million higher if what we are talking about is using the existing. Mr. Ridderhoff stated it would be for a new parking lot. He stated that JJR's estimate for a new parking lot is $467,000. Mr. Olson stated that the reason is the unknown of what is under the existing pavement and we will know more when the borings are complete.
Commissioner Olvany asked about the Lakeview Center and the significant differences in numbers with JJR and W.B. Olson. Director Wilson commented on the number that JJR gave. He stated that $425,000 was for the elevator portion and expansion of the building. He stated that discussions were held without JJR and numbers were thrown around for about $500,000 for internal renovations. Director Wilson stated that he took those numbers and added them together with a buffer of $25,000; therefore we cannot hold JJR responsible for that number. Mr. Olson commented on his experience and stated that when all the codes kick in it adds a fair amount of money to the upgrade and refurbishment of existing buildings. Costs include electrical and an upgrade of fire alarms and sprinklers.
Commissioner Abbott asked about the water main cost. Mr. Olson pointed out the water main details are things that we do not know today until investigative work is complete. Mr. Olson stated they are being prudent with unit costs at this point because of the unknowns.
Commissioner Abbott asked about electrical feeds. Mr. Ridderhoff mentioned there will be electrical service to the beach house which will supply power to the sailing facility. The feeds for the phone, cable, and TV typical run conduit out to a certain point for them to feed the building. Commissioner Abbott asked about phone data being wireless. Director Wilson stated that the District's networks both at the beach house and sailing facility are a wireless bridge from Lakeview. He stated the District would like to do away with that as part of the construction. Mr. Ridderhoff stated that the electrical is a big concern. He suggested having some preliminary meetings with ComEd and Nicor.
Commissioner Abbott inquired about the french drains and questioned their removal if they are working? Commissioner Benz asked about jetty refurbishment and using runoff washout. Mr. Olson stated he would bring these concerns back to the designers. Committee agreed to discuss this further. Mr. Olson stated there are a number of things that could be done.
Commissioner Abbott asked about the recommendation to replace all water lines in the park to upgrade all the fire hydrants for $290,000. Commissioner Abbott stated to revisit this area with Superintendent Lambrecht and JJR.
Commissioner Abbott asked about the pavilions and their cost. Mr. Olson stated that when pavilions are attached to buildings they typically have fire sprinklers, electricity, antifreeze system, and architectural enhancements to make it compatible with the building. Commissioner Abbott stated that $300,000 was for pavilion costs and another $153,000 for deck and foundation. Mr. Olson stated that as a rule of thumb they usually take between one-half and two-thirds of the cost of buildings and put it into these covered areas.
Commissioner Olvany asked about community outreach with the Lakefront Master Plan. Director Wilson stated that renderings from JJR are coming within the next week or two. Communication Manager Shelagh Donoghue has been working on using big boards with designs displayed throughout facilities along with other ideas to get the information out. Commissioner Olvany and Benz asked about having Lakefront Master Plan renderings in the park district's tent at the 4th of July weekend festivities, Shelagh agreed and also suggested having boards displayed at certain events within the community; such as farmers market. Director Wilson stated that the community outreach will launch on July 3rd.
Commissioner Abbott asked about the ornamental fencing. Superintendent Bingham stated it replaces the chain-link fencing.
Commissioner Abbott asked about bioswale pricing. Mr. Olson stated that you could probably swap out the piping for plant material options which would save money. Commissioner Abbott stated that this discussion will continue in regards to drainage and bioswales.
Commissioner Abbott commented on the sanitary lift for the bathrooms. W.B. Olson recommended that it be kept in the project.
Commissioner Abbott commented on Langdon ground retention of $108,000. Mr. Olson stated that the retaining wall would be a permanent wall not temporary.
Commissioner Abbott commented on the ramp stair combo. Director Wilson stated that the ramp is strictly for emergency vehicles not ADA assessable. Mr. Olson stated this is a more cost effective way to go with the ramp stair combo.
Mr. Olson stated that the next meeting should be moving towards the design contingency stage. Director Wilson asked Mr. Olson, during this stage of the budget process what is the typical design contingency. Mr. Olson stated usually between 10-20%. Commissioner Abbott stated that someone needs to set the scope and decide where to go. Mr. Olson stated it would be JJR.
VII. Old Business
VIII. New Business
IX. Adjournment
There being no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 10:24 am.

New Alerting System to Help With Device Management, Control and Tracking
ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - May 3, 2011) - BlackBerry World 2011 -- Anomalous Networks, Inc., the innovator and leading supplier of Real-Time Telecom Expense Management™ (R-TEM) solutions, today announced new GEO-FENCING capabilities for BlackBerry® smartphone users. This new module will allow BlackBerry® administrators and users to set up different geographical parameters to track and monitor their devices when entering or leaving certain locations. GEO-FENCING adds another layer for inventory tracking and costly roaming situations, including domestic roaming that can have a negative effect on telecom budgets. It warns the user if they are entering an area that is more costly, and alerts the company when certain mobile devices are not in their defined area, or if they have been lost or stolen.
"One out of every six Americans suffers from Bill Shock," said Anomalous Networks CEO Dan Rudich. "That translates into 30 million subscribers in America alone suffering from unexpected and costly overages on their telecom bills. Telicost offers BlackBerry smartphone users a remedy to Bill Shock by notifying them in real-time about their usage. In addition, our new GEO-FENCING module provides an extra cushion to give BlackBerry smartphone users the ability to track their device location at all times. Not only does this allow companies to gain a better understanding of device usage and overages, but GEO-FENCING ensures company devices are not misused."
When combined with the Telicost Roaming Control capabilities, the GEO-FENCING module will allow companies to prevent costly surprises and estimate the economic impact of roaming charges in expensive geographic regions. It will also give administrators peace of mind that expensive company assets cannot be taken out of geographic boundaries without administrator approval. Administrators will be able to view their BlackBerry Assets on a map and sort for users that are roaming as well as create geo-fence alerts for when users either enter or leave a defined geographic region. BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet users will also be able to load the Telicost-Mobile App and view their fleet of mobile devices directly from the PlayBook.
Anomalous Networks will be demonstrating its Telicost solution at the BlackBerry World Conference in Orlando, FL from May 3-5 at Booth #209.
Telicost-LiteTelicost-Lite is a totally free app that prevents Bill Shock for consumers. Users simply download the free app from http://anomalousnetworks.com/telicost-lite/download-form/. Telicost-Lite will immediately start tracking the user's data, voice, and SMS usage in real-time and warn them when they get close to their limit. Telicost-Lite will even monitor users' WiFi vs Cellular usage and proactively warn users when their device starts to use a very costly roaming network.
TelicostTelicost provides businesses with a centralized view or dashboard of their aggregated telecom expenses in real-time with streamlined reporting on data usage, international roaming, usage anomalies and asset location tracking. In addition to predicting and preventing upcoming telecom costs, users gain real-time visibility and control over their mobile work force. The administrator will be able to see projected end-of-month costs before the costs are actually incurred.
About Anomalous NetworksAnomalous Networks is the pioneer and leading provider of Real-Time Telecom Expense Management™ software solutions that allow small to large businesses to better manage the cost and security risks of deploying carrier-based mobile technologies and eliminate "Bill Shock." The company's Telicost, Telicost-Mobile and Telicost-Lite solutions support leading mobile device platforms such as BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry PlayBook, iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile, Android, 3G Modems, M2M solutions from companies such as Sixnet and Sierra Wireless, and Embedded Devices such as laptops containing the Qualcomm GOBI chipset among others.

Maybe she didn't want to wake OP up. (^o^)/

14 - The noises that she was making was coming from downstairs. I suppose that the light switch could be really loud or something, but she would have seen better (and so would he) should either of them have turned on the lights.

38- Where did it say she got hit? It just says that he found out after a swing. So maybe he hit something else, or even nothing, and she saw or heard it and then said something and that is how he found out.

I'm concerned about OP's thinking and nerve function, there is a huge difference in feeling someone laying in bed with you and someone not laying in bed with you. A normal person would have felt the lack of another human body in the bed and inferred it might be the girlfriend making noise.
hellbilly205 | 17
This reminds me of the family guy episode, when the robbers are in the house and peter hits meg in the head with the bat after the fact of her saying something already... Lol
ralik1029384756 | 0
Well, you have to remember, he literally JUST woke up when this happened and your body doesn't react quite as fast in that phase.
adamcichuttek | 2
94 - he was probably mostly worried about stopping them than making sure she was in bed. I would assume she would be.

What the hell are you talking about? Define "Smooth."
I believe that he was using the slang term of the word smooth, as in "having suave characteristics." Of course, he had a sarcastic tone to his use of the word smooth. So, in all actuality, he is implying the exact opposite of the meaning of the slang definition. So, what was meant was that the OP was not, in fact, smooth. Just clarifying.
Excuse me if I'm wrong, but if he was using sarcasm, that was a very poor use of it. Although, you must know exactly what you are talking about. Judging by your astounding grammar skills, you are a highly educated English major. So next time, I should stop wasting my time and try to be more like you.
That was an example of sarcasm used in the correct manner.

5- you made my night right there holy fuck bro
airforce987 | 20
I'm sorry, but I disagree. If it WAS a legitimate robbery, fighting the person in the dark would be highly disadvantageous as well as destructive, and the ability to see would be of greater help than the loss of surprise. Also, in cases like this, it makes sure you don't accidentally assault your housemates.
airforce987 | 20
Also, real robbers generally use flashlights, rather than trying to rummage around for valuables in the dark, using their hands to feel every object they come across at the pace of a snail. OP should have thought before he acted, but I don't blame him. Instincts take over, and I would have probably done the same, except, I would have turned the light on first.
MissHayleyJames | 7
You shouldn't turn the lights on or the robber can see you too. What you do is blind them with an extremely bright flashlight and as they're squinting and trying to figure it all out, unload a few rounds into them until they stop moving. Then call the cops and let them handle it from there. Robbery Defense 101.
Kiernan151 | 25
I live in a city and my house gets pitch dark, like I can't even see with the lights off, I've just memorized the layout of my house. @187

She must walk at the exact same speed a bat does when it's being swung in the air.
She should try out for olympic walking.

Harvey Weinstein on "Inglourious Basterds" Edits and Prequel
Posted: June 25th, 2009 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Harvey Weinstein spoke to GQ magazine about Quentin Tarantino's WWII film "Inglourious Basterds" and about the rumor that Tarantino was asked to cut 40 minutes out of it.
Those stories are all untrue,
" he explained. "
What he's doing is just reorganizing some scenes. I mean, the guy had six weeks to cut his movie [for Cannes]; most guys take six months. Most guys take a year.
Weinstein continued: "
There's sh*t on that cutting-room floor that'll blow your brains out. I was telling Quentin the opposite � "You should put that sh*t back in the movie." There's scenes with Brad Pitt and the Basterds, and I'm praying he puts that sh*t back in, 'cause it's un-f*cking-believably great. Listen � this movie will be between 2 hours and 20 minutes and 2 hours and 27 minutes.
Weinstein also spoke about a potential prequel to "Basterds." "
Brad wants to do Inglorious II. We all want to do it,
" he said. "
And the movie hasn't even come out yet! But unfortunately I cannot give away the plot.

Any one think Weinstein is just trying to save his own ass, I mean his company has filed for bancruptcy. And he needs a really big hit. QT is the person to do it. Even if most dont know that he(QT) rips most of his sh*t off of other movies. Regardless though, I hope this movie is good.

Come on String! Haha, I hope they get started on a prequel soon or it will end up like the Vega Brothers movie and dissapear forever.
on June 26th, 2009 at 9:25:51 AM
hahaha, i told you this movie is gonna stink, they are desperade for a reason, i smell crap, im agree with lostwarrior
on June 26th, 2009 at 12:07:03 PM

Religion and the Opening Up of the Mind (Google Talk)
by Bishop Robert BarronMarch 20, 2018
Bishop Barron's talk at the Google headquarters (Googleplex) in Mountain View, CA on March 20, 2018. He addressed a room full of Google and YouTube employees on how religion doesn't shut down the questing intellect, but in fact opens up our minds, causing us to seek the fulfillment of our deepest longings. These yearnings won't be satisfied by wealth, pleasure, power, or honor, but only by the God who wired us to be satisfied in him.

27 And they were among the people of Nephi, and also numbered among the people who were of the church of God. And they were also distinguished for their zeal towards God, and also towards men; for they were perfectly honest and upright in all things; and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end.
There are some who will admit it is morally wrong to be dishonest in big things yet believe it is excusable if those things are of lesser importance. Is there really any difference between dishonesty involving a thousand dollars or that which involves only a dime? Is there any difference in principle between a little white lie and the perjury of a witness in a court of law or before a congressional investigation committee under oath? Are there really degrees of dishonesty, depending upon whether or not the subject is great or small? ("Basic Concepts of Honesty," New Era, February 1978)

There are ripe flavors of strawberry shortcake, Earl Grey tea, red cherry preserves and orange rind which all expand beautifully across the palate. The texture and viscosity is lovely. I can see this cellaring beautifully for a decade or more. However, if approaching early on be sure to allow this some air contact for it to fully open up. (Best 2017-2027) - May, 2017 (OB)

Happy Valentines Day, Mischievous Readers! Enchanted Book Promotions presents a new cool Psychological Romance by Mary Catherine Gebhard. Pretty cover too, if you ask me.
Release Date: February 14th, 2015
Genre: New Adult Psychological Romance
"I'll love you until you break my heart. I'll give you the broken pieces of my heart as an offering to you, because you own it. Whole, shattered, alive, or dead; you own my heart no matter what condition it's in. I'll stay with you until you figure out how to feel. I'll stay with you even if you never do."This is a story about happiness, and how it doesn't simply happen because you fall in love.Lennox is on the run from her ex-boyfriend. She had to drop everything, tell no one, and move to a new town, alone. She expected to be lonely, she expected to be afraid, but she never expected to meet a man named Vic who drove her crazy with lust and anger and called her "Lenny." If it's at all possible, Vic is more twisted than the man she ran away from.She should ignore him, but they're drawn to each other like magnets. Lennox ran from from Seattle to Santa Barbara to get away from violence, to create a new life, and to be something simple. Instead she's found herself wrapped up in great friends and an epic love. This new life is the opposite of everything she wants, but it might just be everything she needs.
MARY CATHERINE GEBHARDMary Catherine Gebhard bites off more than she can chew and sometimes calls herself Eva Natsumi. She's lived in Salt Lake City, Utah her entire life, but occasionally goes on vacation from reality. Don't worry, she sends postcards.


text: This t-shirt was cool even before superhero shirts were cool. It was originally worn by Sam J. Jones while he was playing superhero called Flash Gordon in a movie, which came by the same name. Eventually that t-shirt was one of the first superhero uniforms. And now it's a good choice for those, who adore vintage or Flash Gordon movie fans.

I've criticized the New York Times' Nicholas Kristoff before, but such a sensible article appeared under his byline yesterday that you have to wonder if he has an identical twin. He praises the Bush administration on an environmental matter, namely the use of snowmobiles in national parks:
So President Bush's compromise very sensibly will ban two-stroke machines in Yellowstone but will permit four-stroke snowmobiles, confined to the same roads that cars use in the summer. In the meantime, environmental groups are still trying to evict snowmobiles from Yellowstone by going to the courts.Not only does he question the fundamental truth of the New York Times -- that George Bush can do no right -- but he also contradicts a fundamental truth of the environmental movement: that humanity is evil.
Some environmentalists have forgotten, I think, that our aim should be not just to preserve nature for its own sake but to give Americans a chance to enjoy the outdoors. It's fine to emphasize preserving roadless areas and fighting development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, both of which are good causes, but 99 percent of Americans will never benefit from those fights except in a psychic way.I don't agree with Kristoff on the ANWR -- indeed, it's hard to square that portion of his column with the rest -- but his philosophical observation is dead on. The original idea behind conservation was to preserve wilderness so that people could enjoy it; it was only later that environmental fundamentalists decided that wilderness was good only if people didn't enjoy it. Areas of undeveloped land are desirable because they make the lives of people more pleasant; they're not good merely because people aren't there.
And as for Yellowstone, the moose and bison should share it each winter with humans — even humans on snowmobiles.

Terrible Twos?
But on to the real subject of today's entry....Chloe.
She's two and a half, and I think up until recently we've avoided the "terrible twos." The thing is, I've always said that two is one of my favorite ages. With both my girls I have loved seeing how much they learn, the emerging personalities as they are better able to express themselves and just the perfect cuteness that only a two year old has.
But Chloe...she is one stubborn little girl. She's also a determined, strong-willed, unwavering, fiercely sure of herself little girl who needs her space. You have to know how to deal with Chloe. Once you can get through the brick wall that is her determination she is like clay in your hands and will do whatever it is you ask of her. But, oh, that wall is getting stronger and stronger by the minute and sometimes I think it'll be the death of me.
Tonight Chloe woke up from her 4 hour nap at 9:00 pm. Now, I hate it when she does these late naps...but I have learned that she is much nicer if she gets the sleep her body is telling her she needs. So, she was hungry and she wanted chicken. Lucky we had crock potted chicken with rice for dinner tonight, you say? Problem is, that wasn't the chicken little Miss Chloe had in mind...she wanted chicken nuggets. So when I set her dish of yummy chicken and rice down in front of her she freaked out.
Now, I knew that if I could just get her to eat one bite she would happily eat the rest. The problem is getting her to do it. Here's how it went down: I brought a spoonful of the dish to where she was sitting and she ran away screaming, "Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! I don't want some! Yuck Mommy!" Then I managed to get her in my lap and I calmly told her that she just needed to eat one bite and if she didn't like it she didn't have to eat the rest. Back arches, body stiffens, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't like it! Gwoss! Gwoss! Yuck!" (Gross? She's two! I have never heard her use this word until tonight...and yet she said it multiple times...gross.) Finally, I told her she had to go back to bed if she didn't at least try and stood up to take her. "No! Don't take me to bed! No! Okay I'll eat a bite!" So, after getting her in her perfect configuration for taking this bite (it couldn't be on my lap or at the table...had to be sitting on the couch), she ate it, and *gasp* she LIKED it. She happily sat down at the table in the kitchen and ate the entire bowl.
Score one for Mommy.
