As the airline industry struggles — again — through a new round of challenges, some experts still see a profitable way forward. Is management-employee collaboration still possible? Long-time observer Thomas Kochan weighs in.
Airline companies may be the businesses everyone fantasizes the most about trying to fix. (In the case of that other I-could-run-it-better favorite, restaurants, at least plenty of excellent efforts counterbalance the bad.) And just now the fixing would require more work than usual. A new round of mergers, a new climb in costs and a new wave of customer dissatisfaction all pose fresh challenges. Add to that an industry work force whose wages have plummeted by $15 billion since 2001 and whose morale is at a low ebb and an air traffic infrastructure that both experts and customers realize is overstressed, and the overall industry repair problem can seem impossible.
Thomas A. Kochan, along with Greg J. Bamber, Jody Hoffer Gittell and Andrew von Nordenflycht, takes up the task in the forthcoming book, Up In the Air: How the Airlines Can Improve Performance by Engaging Their Employees (Cornell, New York: Cornell University Press, January 2009). Kochan, the George Maverick Bunker Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management and a longtime leading analyst of workplace relations, identifies the need for utterly altered employee/ employer relationships as the critical opportunity and threat that the airline industry faces. It could go either way, he admits. And movement along the positive path won't be easy.
In this interview, Kochan explores the airline industry models that have worked (and are working) along with those that haven't. And he suggests that the airline industry isn't alone in encountering fundamental choices about how collaborative their workplaces will become. He spoke with MIT Sloan Management Review editor Michael S. Hopkins.
In the News: Delta and Northwest
The Continental Airlines and United Air Lines merger was shelved earlier this year, but it appears that the Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines deal is on track to happen. Will it be a success?
KOCHAN: Ultimately — and inevitably — there's going to be more consolidation in the airline industry, but unless Delta and Northwest begin to address the differences in their cultures, the differences in their employee relations, the fundamental differences in their labor relations, this is a merger destined to fail.
Why wouldn't Delta and Northwest manage those differences? Don't leaders on each side understand the problem?
KOCHAN: It's not that they don't understand it. My experience in the airline industry is that the managers always say, "We'll get to those issues in due time.

December 24, 2019, 09:33:09 PMFox: Even just plain Editor work can make some difference. = At least these forums are indexed on the Search engine. I was also curious about whether to um... go through all the topics on these forums and take all the important stuff out/placed into a folder for a bit of organization. Would be a bonus since if something ever happened to this forum, or if we ever wanted to start afresh again, it wouldn't be that difficult to do so.
December 24, 2019, 09:23:03 PMFox: One thing is for sure. This place has become completely dead. (Mostly because of Discord.) = I don't think much will happen with this forum unless I, Salanewt, or someone else does a thing.
December 24, 2019, 09:18:05 PMFox: Probably not?
December 24, 2019, 06:51:08 PMLuna_blade: I suppose this is the last Christmas of this forum?
December 24, 2019, 06:50:51 PMLuna_blade: Yay thanks for the coins
December 19, 2019, 04:39:45 AMFox: Okay, another thought... "gsmagic" could be the code name/project name... and "Golden Sun Magic" could be the more formal official name... (As in using both names.) - I still need to look into these other games as well... so who knows if it could be better to call it Camelot Magic if those should ever be supported to a decent standard. Would probably be a long time from now, though. As I can be pretty lazy.
December 18, 2019, 10:01:39 PMForeclosure: gsmagic is fine
December 17, 2019, 05:44:32 PMFox: Also. I call my program "gsmagic" and not "GSMagic" =P (Not asking for correction/I being silly)... Had to call it something, so picked something short. Maybe I should rename it to Golden Sun Magic later. *shrug*
December 17, 2019, 05:35:04 PMFox: (And "Golden Sun" instead of "GS" to reduce confusion that would likely not be there anyway... when "Golden Sun" doesn't take up much space to start with. (Imagine being new and thinking GS meant GameShark, or some other oddity. Ew.)) - All just thoughts...I'm still going with most of this not mattering that much, though.
December 17, 2019, 05:12:55 PMFox: "Misc. GS Hacking" = That name looks odd, so I'd probably just go with "Golden Sun Hacking"
December 17, 2019, 05:08:05 PMFox: I tempted to also suggest the Editors can go in the first category. Since the Editor is the reason this place exists in the first place. (I think.)
December 17, 2019, 04:53:19 PMFox: (combined = Not meant to be taken literally... but rather.... to generalize things more, since it apparently looks like we don't need the extra space no one is using.)
December 17, 2019, 04:48:49 PMFox: Worse still... we've only used those for Golden Sun content.... and there's not much there.
December 17, 2019, 04:45:53 PMFox: E.g. Maybe everything in "Assets & Discussion" could be combined with "Creative Works".... I don't feel like sound and art apply to general hacking anyway... that only comes into play when you have tools to insert them.
December 17, 2019, 04:40:26 PMFox: categories and/or forums
December 17, 2019, 04:36:48 PMFox: Everything else seems to be about right, though. Perhaps some categories could be combined(?), but doesn't really matter that much.
December 17, 2019, 04:33:03 PMFox: (I still think The Community section fits best at the bottom. =P)
December 15, 2019, 05:10:04 PMSalanewt: Heya! I'm planning to get the demo up today, but if you can't wait then it's already available on the Discord.
December 15, 2019, 04:12:27 AMFox: (Then sell the badges on the Trade Center for a very high price... and give a lot of active people coins to buy them with, so they can basically transfer the coins to me if they want something... Gosh I could be a naughty hoarder. =P)
December 15, 2019, 04:06:19 AMFox: I'd buy up all the stock for each item too... but man... I think I'm too lazy for that. =P
December 15, 2019, 04:01:24 AMFox: There we go. That should be all of them.
December 15, 2019, 03:25:32 AMFox: Duplicates will still show up as separate entries on the profile as well. Interestingly enough.
December 15, 2019, 03:18:25 AMFox: (Well, one of each badge, at least.)
December 15, 2019, 03:18:08 AMFox: Now I can buy up the whole shop. :3
December 14, 2019, 08:58:08 PMForeclosure: Guys, I really want to see the AI overhaul demo... please fast! :D hehehe
December 14, 2019, 08:57:33 PMForeclosure: I sent 2 thousand coins for ya bro
December 14, 2019, 01:31:38 AMFox: In my opinion, even with the old system where it was set up so you could only coin people once per hour... I think it would have been far more fair if we could have also coined ourselves hourly.... since people have favoritism for certain people.... I feel like that could mitigate it some. At least to get badges that people care about the most. - Unlimited coining sounds like a step further than that, which is interesting... :)
December 14, 2019, 01:12:00 AMFox: Do note, that people can't coin themselves... but I feel if you got someone who's willing to transfer the coins you give them back to you... it is as though you have that coin option on yourself anyway....
December 14, 2019, 01:07:29 AMFox: Go to any of my forum posts, look for where it says Coins... under that, you'll see [increase] , clicking that will give me coins. You won't lose anything for doing so. Click it as much as you like... Under that, you should see Send Money (a faster option if you got the coins). Use that link to transfer your coins to me of any amount you want. (e.g. Put in 2000, means I get 2000, you lose 2000... but if I've already given you 2000+, you don't really have to see it as actually losing anything.)

Each Amapondo print is made by master print maker, Roger Stuart in Melbourne Australia and is printed on Hannemuhle cotton rag with high quality, fade resistant inks. A 10 cm margin is retained for signing thus permitting a number of framing and matting options.
Prints are numbered and signed in the margin by Christopher Rimmer and assigned a unique number which is printed in hologram in the margin and also on the accompanying certificate of authenticity. The print is wrapped in archival tissue paper and securely packed in a special crush proof box before being sent to your door via registered international air courier.
Christopher Rimmer 2014 (courtesy of Varandah Magazine)
Christopher Rimmer is a British born photographer who is best known for his large scale portraits which possess an epic quality and a romantic yearning for an Africa of the past. This is no coincidence since Rimmer's childhood was spent in southern Africa and he freely admits to being 'haunted by the place.' Rimmer's latest work, Amapondo opens in New York on 23 April, 2015 at Pier 94.

As a good corporate citizen, the Royal Cliff Hotels Group is the pioneer of CSR activities in Pattaya. We have been championing environmental conservation and carrying out its responsible projects for the betterment of society since 1973.
The resort opened its own wastewater treatment plant during the early 70's, long before Pattaya had its own. The Royal Cliff Hotels Group is the first resort and convention hall group in the world, to achieve the ISO 14001:2004 for Environmental Management System, the extension scope of ISO 9001:2008 for Quality Management System and TIS 22300-2551 for MICE Security Management System. These collective achievements have made the Royal Cliff Hotels Group a unique establishment recognized throughout the world.
As an endorsement of its pioneering efforts towards environmental conservation, the resort has received several awards and recognition, including EIA Monitoring Award (2000, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009), Kuoni Green Planet Award (2005-6 and 2007-8) and the Best Green Hotel recognition (2008). For the Environment
Notable measures being implemented by the resort to achieve its environmental and social objectives include:
Giving back to society, especially less fortunate children, remains one of the resort's top activities. We extend financial assistance to the needy, joining hands with volunteer organizers; the resort offers regular contributions in cash and kind, such as annual donations to the Pattaya Orphanage and school for blind children as well as providing scholarships to underprivileged children.
Each year the senior management team visits various schools and charity centers to learn how the resort can best help the children. On each visit our team brings food, clothes and books to the schools. In 2009 the resort hired renowned architects and engineers to renovate the main lobby for the Pattaya School for the Blind. Moreover, the board of directors provided the majority of funding to build Pattaya Hospital and homes for HIV patients in Rayong.
As an endorsement of our pioneering efforts towards environmental conservation, the hotel group has received several awards and recognition, including EIA Monitoring Award (2000, 2002, 2005 and 2007), Kuoni Green Planet Award (2005-6 and 2007-8) and the Best Green Hotel recognition (2008). We have also received the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Certificate becoming the first Convention Hotel in Thailand to achieve both ISO 9001:2008 (Quality management system) and ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental management system) accreditation. For our meetings and incentives business we received the TIS 22300-2551 in recognition of our security management system. Another award we are proud of is from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Society, which was presented to us in recognition of an excellent enterprise in the area of employment for persons with disabilities.
We are very enthusiastic about getting our guests involved in our CSR activities. Our Save the Planet package remains one of the most popular packages which we will continue to promote. We aim to develop more innovative and exciting packages that would involve helping the environment and society.
Education and training has been a part of the hotel group's main focus, with us giving more than 600 internship and vocational opportunities to college students alone the past year, which will be continued.
We have always entertained visits and site tours by universities and colleges; and will continue in a larger scale. This is an opportunity for the young to appreciate the tourism and hospitality industry as one of the country's number one revenue earners; as well as the prospects of a career in this field. We will hold educational fairs for the younger generation, assisting them in choosing the right career path.
Our noble charity projects will be on-going, with various programs lined-up. We will set up a Charity Fund to closely monitor the distribution channels to ensure that the fund is used effectively and beneficial to the selected communities.
Different benchmarks and measurement metrics will be implemented to ensure the effectiveness of our contributions. We have a commitment to the local community and the Royal Cliff Hotels Group will do its best to uphold this.

Ghana, picked by psychics in South Africa to win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, kick off their campaign on Sunday against DR Congo, a side never far from confusion and controversy.
The Black Stars have won this competition four times, but their last triumph was back in 1982, when they defeated hosts Libya on penalties.
Since flopping at the 2006 tournament, they have not failed to reach the last four.
Even when lacking some of their best players, they have impressed leading up to this competition with big wins over Egypt and Tunisia in Abu Dhabi.
South African psychic and spiritual healer Jamil Ahmad has picked Ghana as "the cream of the crop.
"Côte d'Ivoire or Ghana will take the Cup. Côte d'Ivoire were runners-up in the last tournament and Ghana are just the cream of the crop. They play with passion," said Ahmad.
Ghana enjoyed their finest hour in South Africa three years ago when they came within a whisker of becoming the first African team to reach the World Cup semifinals.
The Black Stars missed a spot kick in the dying seconds of extra time against Uruguay and lost the penalty shootout.
But from the team that caught the imagination of millions of South Africans in 2010, Kevin-Prince Boateng has retired, Sulley Muntari is out of favour, John Mensah and Andre Ayew injured and long-time absentee Michael Essien says he will end a self-imposed exile only later this year for World Cup qualifiers.
"South Africa is a second home for us. We won lots of hearts during the World Cup and we hope to do so again," promised skipper and striker Asamoah Gyan, who fluffed the chance to win the World Cup clash with Uruguay game from the penalty spot.
High hopes
Ghana will fancy their chances against a DR Congo side, who on Friday had to deny the resignation of French coach Claude Le Roy after another bonus-related upheaval.
Le Roy has admitted his team face a daunting task against a country he coached five years ago, but is pleased his team are not favourites.
"So many of their players were given their first international game with me – a young and new generation of players that has come through," said the experienced 64-year-old Frenchman in his second stint with the Leopards.
"It will be a difficult, difficult first game. We are not favourites in this group, we know we are ranked behind Ghana and Mali – both were 2012 semifinalists.
"But it's a good position for us. I like this kind of position."
Le Roy has been credited with getting several of the country's top Europe-based stars to return to the national team after they quit because of the perennial problems with the team.
Highly-rated Anderlecht striker Dieumerci Mbokani is one such player and he said they hope to upstage the Black Stars.
"Ghana are a strong team and they could win this tournament. Nigeria and the Ivory Coast are also a threat, but I'll bet on Ghana," the 27-year-old said.
"But I hope we play well against them and surprise them."
'Better motivated'
Meanwhile Niger hope their fortunes change at the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday as they aim to end a losing streak in the competition when they face Mali at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
This will be the Menas' (Gazelles) second appearance at the tournament after they made their debut in Gabon last year and lost all three group games.
Goalkeeper Daouda Kassaly has promised that the experience gained in defeats by co-hosts Gabon, and Tunisia and Morocco would stand Niger in good stead in South Africa.
"Playing in 2012 has been positive and (the lessons) will be put to (good use) in South Africa.
"The objective of the entire team is different to last year," said Kassaly, who plays for South African Premiership club Chippa United.
"We will fight to qualify for the next round as we are better motivated now, and backed by the entire country.
"It's an extra motivation for me after reading that Chippa United supporters will travel to Port Elizabeth to support Niger."
Niger can no longer be taken lightly after they eliminated Guinea in the final qualifying round for South Africa.
They turned the table on more illustrious neighbours by winning 2-0 in Niamey after losing the first leg by the odd goal in Conakry.
Niger will be further encouraged by results in their build-up for the championship, beating Togo 3-1 at home and holding Burkina Faso to a goalless draw in South Africa.
The Nigeriens' star attraction remains skipper and striker Moussa Maazou, while the likes of Tunisia-based defenders Mohamed Chikoto and Kofi Dankwa and experienced striker Issoufou 'Dante' Alhassane have also impressed.
Mali, on the other hand, have proved they cannot be dismissed after they went as far as the semi-finals last year with a youthful team before bowing to the Ivory Coast.
Seydou Keita carried the team on his experienced shoulders in Gabon and will be expected to do same again, especially with ex-skipper and centre-back Cedric Kante unavailable and Fulham midfielder Mahamadou Diarra ruled out by a knee injury.
"I still have a lot to offer and so will aim to steer my team as far as possible at the tournament," said the former Barcelona 'super sub'.
The Eagles are ranked number three by FIFA in Africa behind the Côte d'Ivoire and Algeria. – Sapa-AFP.

Grains finished the day mixed with December corn down 5 cents, January soybeans up 2 ¾ cents, and wheat down 1 cent.
Outside markets were rather weak and helped lead corn lower. Over the weekend we had reports of Vietnam purchasing Australian feed grade wheat and Malaysia purchasing Ukrainian feed grade wheat. Last week it was announced that Openfield, which is a large UK coop, has signed a contract with a US company to deliver feed wheat with the first load being shipped next week. As wheat continues to undercut corn in many parts of the world (including the US) eventually it will start showing up in the futures price. Ethanol production is the one source of demand that seems to be really helping basis lately but after the blender's credit expires this year will the bids still be as strong?
The CFTC's Commitment of Traders report was delayed until Monday afternoon on account of the holiday. For corn the Managed Money increased their net long positions by 23,719 contracts of corn as of last Tuesday using Futures/Options combined. They now hold a net long position of 218,997 corn contracts. For soybeans they decreased their net long position by 7,435 contracts and now hold a net long position of 28,272 contracts. They are still net short Chicago wheat but overall net long ALL wheat by 2,394 contracts using futures and options.
Crop progress was also out and still shows the corn harvest well ahead of schedule. Total harvested is at 93% while the 5 year average is at 82%. Ohio is still behind schedule at 51% complete. Beans are also ahead of schedule at 96% complete compared to the 5 year average of 94%.

Pakistan still regrets losing to India in the final of the ICC Twenty 20 World Cup two years ago, as captain Younis Khan has said that he will make sure that his side wins the trophy this time around.

Well if Pakistan has to blame anyone for losing last world cup final, that would be Younis khan
he ran Imran Nazir out & then played a lose short
in the end it was the fall of wickets that was the cause of defeat
& the truth is Pakistan lost it rather than india winning it
even with that score on that pitch, bangladesh would 've chased it down
& Younas khan saying that he wants to see pakistan winning, well it doesn't look like that
specially when better twenty 20 players are sitting out & players like Younis Khan playing in twenty 20, it doesn't look like Pakistan winning it
yeah Pakistan's win %age is 79%
not bad
played 17 won 13 lost 3 tie 1
but i guess ICC 'll introduced t20 rankings sometime
cuz it's been a huge hit
even people from netherlands now following it
We miss you, Fardin. :(. RIP.

IMO, it's a lottery
Many of India's main players are out of form and only getting a game in the IPL because of quota system
Oz has picked their test team and most dont have a clue how to play the game anyway
Pak have hardly played any games
Ditto Eng
Many of Sa's main players are lucky to get a game in the IPL
WI are a rabble at the moment
Dark horses could be NZ as they have quite a few high high impact players

If the field of artistic ceramics can be thought of as a continuum, with functional pottery at one extreme and the free exploration of clay as a means for creative self-expression on the other, then I would have to say that I work the extremes. Being the potter, one has no choice but to be a ceramic "purist". Things simply won't function as they should if the media are mixed; acrylic paint won't do for the inside of bowls. However, things are different way out on the other end of the ceramic continuum. And that is the territory I have been exploring with my ceramic sculpture.
Current Work
My creative work takes two currents - pottery and sculpture. My vessels are primarily made of porcelain, and my sculptural work ranges from paper clay to terra cotta to stoneware for architectural applications.

I'm so used to Hollywood movies that I thought this video was a 3D rendering when I first saw it. But it's the real Earth, our home planet as seen from NASA's Messenger spacecraft on its way to Mercury.
Comprising 358 frames taken over 24 hours, the movie follows Earth through one complete rotation. The spacecraft was 40,761 miles (65,598 kilometers) above South America when the camera started rolling on Aug. 2. It was 270,847 miles (435,885 kilometers) away from Earth - farther than the Moon's orbit - when it snapped the last image on Aug. 3.
Like Chris Mascari just said after seeing it: "I love this planet." [NASA Messenger]
Video is bounced to give you more time to see it.

Keep both feet on the ground when planning a move into the cloud
Jul 30, 2013
Originally published in Tech Bubbles (TechBubbles.co.uk)
The cloud is providing businesses with a way of outsourcing their ICT estate and acquiring new tools and technologies quickly and easily. Most cloud environments make it possible to fund ICT on a monthly basis. However, while the benefits may be clear, deciding when to adopt the cloud computing model is an issue facing many businesses.
Big questions of when and how
Deciding whether the time is right to move to the cloud raises lots of concerns for firms of every size, with questions often around security, scalability and control. As a small business, knowing how the cloud will give a competitive edge and what it means for growth will be key. Reassurance on these issues will help determine how quickly you adopt cloud as the model for your ICT.
How small businesses can 'punch above their weight'
Managing ICT in-house is a major drain on resources and as a result cloud email is now almost a given as far as start-ups are concerned. However, the cloud also provides access to platforms which were previously kept for large companies, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), HR management, and collaboration tools. These cloud-based services give small businesses access to solutions which can provide a vital competitive edge. Signing up for and configuring cloud applications can be done almost immediately, and at a fraction of the cost of acquiring the actual hardware and software itself. The as-a-service model which cloud solutions are based on means you only pay for what you use, leaving the hardware and maintenance costs with the cloud provider. Also, since the actual platform being delivered lives on the web, you can access it from any location or any device with a browser.
50 shades of cloud
The one distinction it's important to make is between 'public' cloud services, accessible to everyone via the web; and 'private' clouds, where services are delivered over private networks, on a bespoke basis. Google Drive and Amazon Web Services are examples of public cloud services, sharing computing resources with others signed up to the service.
Selecting a suitable cloud depends on the sensitivity of the data you need to store, how it's used and how available it needs to be. Mission critical services that are central to business success or systems containing customer data will require a private cloud with high levels of uptime and security. Less crucial applications and data, for example your company intranet, can live in a less regimented, lower-cost environment.
Don't turn back at the junction
The cloud offers huge opportunities for businesses willing to make the move. If you are trying to decide whether it's the right time to move to the cloud, you need to identify the areas where the cloud will support what you want to do. Whether it's allowing you to reach new markets, or completely changing the way you deliver solutions to customers, the cloud has the flexibility to provide this.
There's no simple answer to the question of when you should move to the cloud, but businesses need to consider it now or risk getting left behind. Choosing the right cloud provider means choosing what suits your business. This provider should take a consultative approach, helping you identify the objectives for your move to the cloud, whether cutting costs, improving scalability or increasing ICT flexibility and agility. They should be able to demonstrate the benefits of their cloud solution, and work with you to ensure that it can meet your business objectives. By making the right choices from the start, the sky is literally the limit for what the cloud can deliver.

Section VIII. Other Information
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to support research to improve the design and implementation, and effectiveness of preventive interventions for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and unintentional injury infant deaths associated with the sleep environment.
Since 1994, the U.S. PHS has been implementing a national public education campaign, "Back to Sleep". It is designed to reduce the risks of SIDS, as well as unintentional infant injury deaths in the sleep environment. The safe sleep behaviors that are targeted for SIDS and unintentional infant injury death associated with the sleep environment are performed by the caregiver and include use of back sleep position, avoiding bed sharing, and using appropriate bedding. While the rate of SIDS has declined by 50% since 1994, SIDS remains the third leading cause of infant death in the U.S. Unintentional injury deaths in the infant sleep environment are rising- a total of 3,500 deaths/year. There also exists a profound racial disparity, with blacks and American Indians having 2-3 times the rate of these deaths compared to whites. Research has shown that the rate of putting the infants in the back sleeping position has not changed over the last few years, thus not reaching the target levels and that the racial disparity remains with rates for black infants lower than white infants.
Research has shown that the adoption of safe sleep behaviors varies widely across communities and within racial/ethnic populations. We have also learned some of the determinants of this variation. These include parental beliefs concerning the infant's comfort and safety, advice from heath care professionals and trust in that advice, and availability of a safe sleep environment.
This FOA invites research studies to develop, conduct, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to reduce the risk of SIDS and unintentional injury deaths in the infant sleep environment among all populations, to include targeting those at highest risk. It is recognized that in the five year grant period it is not possible to demonstrate a reduction in SIDS and other sleep associated infant deaths. We are interested in interventions that demonstrate changes in risk behavior and environments. We are interested in studies on a particular population or geographic area or nationwide, to include those that consider effective approaches to bridging cultural norms in given populations.
In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) will release revised recommendations for safe infant sleeping environments aimed at reducing SIDS and unintentional infant injury deaths. Since pediatrician and physician advice is recognized as an influential factor impacting caregiver infant sleep environment practices, monitoring of physician knowledge, beliefs, and practices is critical. Therefore we are also interested in proposals for a nationally representative study that examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of health care providers caring for newborns and infants, especially pediatricians, regarding SIDS and unintentional injury deaths in the infant sleep environment. Such studies may be proposed alone or in concert with an intervention.

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Are the PD/PIs, collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
For Resubmissions, the committee will evaluate the application as now presented, taking into consideration the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group and changes made to the project.
For Renewals, the committee will consider the progress made in the last funding period.
RevisionsFor Revisions, the committee will consider the appropriateness of the proposed expansion of the scope of the project. If the Revision application relates to a specific line of investigation presented in the original application that was not recommended for approval by the committee, then the committee will consider whether the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group are adequate and whether substantial changes are clearly evident.
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact/priority score.
Applications from Foreign Organizations
Not Applicable
Select Agent Research
Reviewers will assess the information provided in this section of the application, including 1) the Select Agent(s) to be used in the proposed research, 2) the registration status of all entities where Select Agent(s) will be used, 3) the procedures that will be used to monitor possession use and transfer of Select Agent(s), and 4) plans for appropriate biosafety, biocontainment, and security of the Select Agent(s).
Resource Sharing Plans
Reviewers will comment on whether the following Resource Sharing Plans, or the rationale for not sharing the following types of resources, are reasonable: 1) Data Sharing Plan; 2) Sharing Model Organisms; and 3) Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
Budget and Period of Support
Reviewers will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Applications will be evaluated for scientific and technical
merit by (an) appropriate Scientific Review Group(s), convened by the Center for Scientific Review (CSR), in accordance with NIH peer
review policy and procedures, using the stated review
criteria. Review assignments will be shown in the eRA Commons.

Your expected family contribution is the amount of money that the U.S. Department of Education estimates your family will be able to contribute to your education over the next school year. It is derived by reviewing the financial data you and your family provide. If you are a single, independent student, your family contribution will come solely from your own resources (earnings, savings). Otherwise, your EFC will be calculated on your own resources combined with those of your family. The EFC is taken into consideration when you apply for any need-based financial aid and is calculated by the Federal Student Aid Programs processor when you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Roof Replacement is Not Optional – Replacing the Roof Before It's Too Late
The roof is the most important part of a building or a house. We can not make deaf ears one bit with the roof. It is important to note that replacement of the roof is not an option. In this blog post, the importance and need to replace the roof will be discussed.
Why Roof Replacement is Important?
There are many reasons why Roof Replacement is necessary when it is time. Houses and buildings deteriorate over time. Sometimes, the decline of the roof reaches a level where substitutes need to be considered because we can not risk our lives. Nothing is more important than your life. We risk our lives by delaying or ignoring Roof Replacement.
The Best Time to Install a New Roof
Roof replacement is not as simple as it looks. There are several important things to consider before installing a new roof. It is important to keep the roof condition in check. It is important to take the necessary action before the problem gets bigger. Sometimes, we can easily fix small problems; In fact, often need a replacement because it is not safe to live with the problem.
The Busy Roofers and Roofing Company
Roof replacement often becomes very busy sometimes. It happens when you can not find a roofer or roof company immediately. This is due to the reason that quality roofing companies are always busy. They have many contracts, so their customers often have to wait several days to several weeks.
Roofs that work in an area are often busy so customers have to wait for months until they get the job they need. To avoid unnecessary delay, it is recommended to set roofer or roof company first.
At Roofing Dwell, we are always at your service. We always charge a fair price for roof replacement. So contact us now and get your discount.
Choose Roofing Stay: Choose the Best
We have been in the Roof Replacement business for a long time. We always help our valuable customers make their lives safe by replacing risky and dangerous roofs. We are always ready to replace your roof whenever and wherever needed. If you have any questions or require a free offer on roof replacement, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The natives of Bre'el IV were humanoids native to the planet Bre'el IV, whose appearance was noted for having blunt noses, knobbed crania, and deep-set eye pockets with almost no jaw movement when speaking.
In 2366, their homeworld became threatened by a falling asteroidal moon until its orbit was restored by the entity known as "Q". (TNG: "Deja Q")
The novel Articles of the Federation calls this species the Bre'ella.

11 Strategies for Do-It-Yourself Pest Control
Effective ways to get rid of your nastiest pests!
Keep Raccoons Out
- Cut back overhanging tree branches and brush so raccoons can't get onto the roof.
- Add chimney caps, or replace them if they're damaged. Fireplace chimneys make great dens for pregnant raccoons. If you hear raccoons in the firebox in the spring or summer, you may need to wait until the fall for the raccoons to leave before capping the chimney, or else call an animal control specialist.
- Block crawl spaces and other possible entry spots with securely nailed 1/4-in.-mesh hardware cloth. Wait until the fall after the babies are out but before hibernation, or until you're sure the raccoons are gone.
- Raccoons eat garbage, pet food, fruits and vegetables, and fish from garden ponds. Make trash cans inaccessible. Cover fish ponds with netting. Don't leave pet food outside.
- Protect vegetable gardens, especially if you're planting sweet corn, with wire electric fencing (consult the manufacturer's instructions for spacing and wiring instructions). Fencing is available from farm supply stores and Internet suppliers.
- If raccoons have already made a den in your attic or crawl space, put a radio, flashing lights, ammonia, mothballs or commercially available repellents in it, then give them a few nights to leave. To make sure they're gone, stuff the entry with newspapers. If the paper is still in place after a few days, the raccoons have left.
Mousetrap Technique
Common mistakes with do it yourself pest control are poor placement of traps and using too few of them. Mice have poor vision and prefer to feel their way along walls. Place snap traps along walls in areas where you've seen the telltale brown pellets. For an average-size house, two dozen mousetraps would not be too many.
The best technique is to set two traps, parallel to the wall, with the triggers facing out. While mice can jump over one trap, they can't jump two. Favorite baits of professional exterminators are chocolate syrup and peanut butter.
Live traps are best used in pairs in the same manner as conventional mousetraps. Place them back-to-back with the open doors on each end.
TIP: Before you sweep up mouse droppings, always spray them with a disinfectant spray such as Lysol. Mice can pass disease to humans through their waste.
How Common Household Pests Get In
Although your walls may appear solid, many walls are full of tiny pest passageways. Small insects can sneak through the tiniest cracks, so you may not be able to make your home absolutely bug-proof. But you can seal most gaps, especially the larger ones that let in mice and larger insects. Put on some old clothes, as you'll have to get on the ground, slink behind bushes and even crawl under your deck to examine your home's exterior. Take a flashlight and a mirror along. If mice are your main concern, also bring a pencil. If you can slide the pencil into a crack, it's large enough for a young mouse to squeeze through. Take your time and examine every square foot of your home. The key areas to inspect include wall penetrations, doors and windows, the foundation, dryer vents, exhaust fans and roof vents.
Plug Gaps With Mesh
Stuff in a generous amount of copper mesh with a screwdriver, leaving about half an inch of space for expanding foam sealant. Seal gaps with foam.
Protect Wood From Moisture
Insects and other small pests need to draw life-sustaining moisture from their surroundings, so they avoid dry places and are attracted to moist ones. If the soil around your house, the foundation and the walls is dry, it'll be less attractive to insects, spiders and centipedes. Rake moisture-wicking soil and mulch away from the window frames and low wood. Turn your mulch periodically to help keep dampness down, and keep bushes trimmed back as well.
Spider Solution
Store Pet Food
Store pet food in a lidded metal trashcan, as mice cannot climb the slick, vertical sides of the can. Sealed plastic containers are also a good option.
Eliminate Cockroaches
Tucking paper bags under the kitchen sink is tempting, but unfortunately it creates a cockroach condo. Even worse, once the cockroaches move in, they deposit their pheromone laced fecal pellets. If you have cockroaches, it's usually best to hire a professional exterminator. You can buy high-quality bait products, but they're expensive and are only effective if you place them properly. If only 5 percent of the roaches survive your attack, they will completely repopulate in just a few months. For a little more, you can hire a pro who understands the habits of cockroaches and will place the bait in hard-to-reach crevices. Furthermore, a reputable exterminator will guarantee the job.
Stop Moles From Tearing up Your Yard
To their credit, moles do a good job of aerating the soil and controlling Japanese beetle larvae and other harmful bugs, and they don't eat flowers or plants. If you can live with them, they generally won't cause any serious, long-term damage to your yard. However, if you can't, you'll have to do some do it yourself pest control methods to trap or remove them. The population density of moles is generally no more than three per acre, so catching even one might take care of the problem.
Livetrapping by setting a deep bucket under an active tunnel is sometimes effective. To set up a live trap, dig a hole at the tunnel deep enough to set a 2- to 5-gallon bucket below the level of the tunnel. Pack the dirt around the edge of the bucket, then cover the hole with sod or plywood so you can check the hole daily. The mole will fall in, and then you can take it to a new location.
However, the most effective, time-tested method is to set up a spring-loaded prong or choker-loop trap that is activated when the mole pushes against it.
For the spring trap, flatten an area of the tunnel slightly bigger than the base of the trap and set the trap over it. Follow the manufacturer's directions to arm the trap, then cover it with a 5-gallon bucket to keep kids and pets away. Remove it and the mole after it's been triggered, or try a different tunnel if it hasn't been triggered after several days.
Whether you set up a live or a spring-loaded trap, the first step is to locate the active tunnels. Step on the tunnels you see in one or two spots to collapse them, then check those spots the next day. If the tunnel has been dug out again, it's an active one, and a good spot to set a trap.

Box Elder Bug Swarm
When box elder bugs swarm in the fall, you may think they're taking over your house—maybe even the world! Even though they're harmless, here's a solution. Look for major congregations of bugs outdoors and spray them with a strong solution of soapy water. Keep the spray bottle handy, and spray wherever they recongregate.
The first step in getting rid of roaches is to get rid of their food. Clean up every speck and crumb—from shelves, drawers, pantry, under appliances, under the sink. Store any accessible food in plastic containers. Equally important: Remove the roaches' water supply. Fix leaky sink traps and drippy faucets. Elevate Rover's water dish. Eliminate damp dish towels, sponges and scrub pads. Sealed bait containers like Roach Motel are most effective. Boric acid pesticide powder also works. Just sprinkle it lightly into all cracks and crevices. It's long-lasting and relatively nontoxic. Look for it at hardware stores and home centers.
Check the Foundation/Siding Joint
Look for Gaps at the Dryer Vent
Examine dryer vents to ensure the damper isn't stuck open or broken off completely. Also check that the seal between the vent and the wall is tight.
Seal Gaps at Doors and Windows
Seal doors, windows and basement sashes with adhesive-backed weatherstripping. Clean the surface first so the weatherstrip will adhere well.
Caulk Gaps Between Trim and Siding
Fill gaps between trim and siding with acrylic latex caulk. Keep a wet cloth handy to clean up any stray caulk. Smooth the bead with a wet finger.
Foam Large Soffit Gaps
Pull nests from the soffit gaps and then fill these openings with expanding foam. After the foam hardens, cut off the excess with a utility knife.

about mutation
The Mutation Project
2003-2004 - as at 07/2003
A project by lubricat, a theatre company based at sophiensaele Berlin, Germany.
virtual/actual space
The project, developed in a virtual work space, www.mutation-workspace.de will go on to take place in actual space (from July 2003 - May 2004) with a unique performance in five cities on four continents. The final performance in Berlin brings together all of our international partners.
Richmond,Virginia/ USA
Buenos Aires/ Argentina
Lagos/ Nigeria
Shanghai/ VR China
Berlin/ Germany
try out the global shift
World=City, the world's cities in wild mutation: by 2020 63% of the world's population will live in cities, all connected trough a flowing network into a global economy. From the perspective of a dirty realism (Rem Koohlhaas), the MUTATION project will attempt a comprehensive exploration of a world wide evolution of city culture with a short circuit of the apparent dichotomy of global and local: dissolving it into glocal. Mutation performs on a dual level: both examining and participating in globalisation. The old media theatre will become used to the ascending productive force of globalisation: the NET. This will lead to a challenging process of transformation in our theatre praxis and awareness. Ultimately it will still be theatre that we will be creating: face to face with an audience in space and time.

The WORKSPACE offers a virtual platform. Here we will generate a common pool/archive of material with articles and comments as a basis for the further scenic work in a actual space:
A combination of two out of 11 categories each consisting of an area and a state of life will create a matrix of 121 topics defining our research.
On a sub-platform, the LOG, we will keep a record of the highs and lows of our experience of producing and managing the project itself.
You can have access to the Mutation Workspace on tree levels:
1. All USER be invited to add comments on WORKSPACE platform. A log in is not required.
2. GUESTS can add articles in the WORKSPACE platform.
3. ASSOCIATES can add articles on both platforms WORKSPACE and on LOG. On LOG they can add pictures as well. A log in (Password) is required.
The number of associates in each city is limited to ten people. The majority of the 5 performers in each of the 5 cities will be expected to become associates on the WORKSPACE.
If you would like to join the Mutation Project and get access as an ASSOCIATE or GUEST on the WORKSPACE please contact:
to get your log in.
Communication on the Work Space is based on English as a world language.
Please feel free to use your own local language, such as Spanish, Mandarin, Yoruba, Pidgin English, German or any other...
HOWEVER YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO PROVIDE AN ENGLSIH VERSION Never be afraid about mistakes! Few of us are native English speakers!
on actual space
In cooperation with our local artistic and institutional partners we will form in each city a ensemble made up of 3 German performers and 5 local performers. Over 5 weeks rehearsal they will produce a performance which shall be shown to the public in a further 6th week. For the final production in Berlin all the artists involved will come together.
A small core ensemble of Berlin actors will use the material gathered on the WORKSPACE to create a flexible performance platform - The Agency - while the performers from each city will Ôplug inÕ to this structure that opens up a forum in which the personalities - the audacity and tenacity - of the participants themselves determine the nature of the work produced. This performance platform - The Agency is real - a literal place - but not realistic, rather it is a concrete space in which the performers recreate themselves as invented characters (Kunstfiguren). By means of this platform the multiple possibilities of the theatrical medium can be realised; the method gives rise to theatre that is a montage in its composition. In all, the ensemble and creative team fuse to simulate an ideal author.

- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Create an Account - Increase your productivity, customize your experience, and engage in information you care about.
The annual CDBG appropriation is allocated between States and local jurisdictions called "non-entitlement" and "entitlement" communities respectively. Entitlement communities are comprised of central cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs); metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000; and qualified urban counties with a population of 200,000 or more. States distribute CDBG funds to non-entitlement localities not qualified as entitlement communities.
HUD determines the amount of each grant by using a formula comprised of several measures of community need, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
Learn more by visiting the US Department of Housing and Urban Development Website.

There are three kinds of fitness:
Understanding the differences between each kind of fitness will help
you set your fitness goals. Reaching a balance between the three is important,
because they affect each other and each contributes to total fitness.
Some physical activities involve more than one kind of fitness. Some
activities that are thought of as aerobic exercise, for example, also
strengthen muscles (swimming, cycling, skiing).
