The Federal Indirect Costs Program (FICP) is a Government of Canada funding program to assist Canadian post-secondary institutions in offsetting the indirect cost of research associated with Tri-Agency awards (i.e., NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR). The funds provided are to assist with expenses in five major categories: Facility, Management & Administration, Resources, Regulatory Requirements, and Intellectual Property. FICP grants are allocated annually based on a 3-year rolling average of an institution's Tri-Agency revenue.
The total costs associated with conducting research comprise "direct" costs and "indirect" costs.
"Direct" costs of research normally comprise all of the budgeted expenditures for carrying out a specific research project at the University or affiliated organizations. These direct costs can be directly assigned to research projects relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy.
"Indirect" costs are real dollars spent by the University and affiliated organizations, to support research activities. Although it can be difficult to assign these costs to specific projects, they represent necessary provisions for the conduct of research including items such as utilities, building costs, research contract/applications support, human resources, research accounting, library costs and central computing costs.
Starting in 2012, universities are required to publicly disclose, on their websites, information on the indirect costs of research and the use of the Federal Indirect Costs Program (FICP) grant received.

Couture for Athletes: What to Wear When Playing It Safe
March 6, 2000 (New York) -- The healthy habits that last a lifetime start early -- which is why getting your kids to engage in regular physical activity today will help them grow into strong, healthy adults tomorrow. Though we hear a lot about sports-related injuries in the media, taking certain precautions can ensure that your mini-Allen Iverson, Venus Williams, or Derek Jeter is as safe on the field as off.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), about 6 million high school boys and girls participate in team sports, and 20 million play recreational or competitive sports outside of school. An estimated 3.2 million children ages 5-14 suffer from sports- and recreation-related injuries each year.
With the help of New York City-based sports medicine expert Lewis G. Maharam, MD, the AAP, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), WebMD has put together lists of the safety equipment your child will need for whatever sport he or she chooses.
"Taking the proper precautions and having the right equipment for a particular sport are the best ways to protect your child from injuries during sports," Maharam, a sports medicine specialist in New York City and the president of the New York chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine, tells WebMD.
Before getting into specifics, all children interested in joining a sport must undergo a complete physical exam by a pediatrician to make sure that they are in good health. Once the doctor gives his OK, all future athletes should always warm up before play with an aerobic training, stretching, and strengthening program designed by a coach. "For example, even if you have the best tennis racquet and sneakers," says Maharam, "if you never played before and you haven't done anything to warm up, you will be on the court for all of a minute before you pull a muscle or run out of steam."
Another tip that applies to all sports is to make sure players have enough to drink before, during, and after play to prevent dehydration, Maharam says.
Now, here's the lowdown on what your child will need when he or she decides on a specific sport:
Basketball: Each year, there are more than 41,000 sports-related and recreational eye injuries, most commonly among baseball and basketball players, which is why the AAP recommends that basketball players wear sports goggles with shatterproof polycarbonate lenses. The AAPD recommends mouth guards to protect against broken, lost, or chipped teeth, bruised or cut lips, and jaw injuries.
Softball/baseball: "A batting helmet is essential," Maharam says. "Shin guards at the plate to protect from low pitches and batting gloves to prevent blisters can also help." The AAP recommends a polycarbonate face guard or other certified safe protection attached to the helmet for batting and base running and sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses for fielding. The AAPD recommends mouth guards.

Leprechauns, pots of gold,
beads, parties and alcohol are just a few things that define St. Patrick's Day for
many young partygoers.
Unfortunately, driving
sometimes ends up in the mix.
Between 2006 and 2011
there were over 700 fatalities nationwide on St. Patrick's Day and over 40
percent of those were due to alcohol.
We caught up with Harris
Blackwood, the director of the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety, who
gives one reason why drinking and driving is not worth it.
"St. Patrick's Day is
a holiday that is often associated with luck - and there's no amount of luck,
no amount of four leaf clovers, no kissing the blarney stone that's going to
get you out of a DUI, and it's going to cost you a pot of gold," said
Not only could it cost you
a fortune, it could cost you a life.
That is why Rob Folk and
the Columbus Downtown Nightlife Association is working hard to make sure there
is no need to drink and drive this weekend.
"St .Patrick's Day is
one of those nights where you have a lot of people that don't normally come
out, will come out, so we will have extra police downtown," said Folk. "We've
spoken with the cab companies we'll have more cabs available."
In an effort to eliminate
driving under the influence, the office of Highway Safety is distributing
coasters all over bars around Columbus with a bar code on them.
All you have to do is scan
it with your smartphone and it will instantly give you information on where to
get a free ride home.
The Drive Sober Georgia app
does the same thing and is available on the iPhone and Android.
If you have to, make other
arrangements or designate a driver. It is not worth risking your life.
"People are going to party and have a good time and we're not
trying to discourage the party - we're just trying to get them home safely,"
Blackwood said.

Usually when people drive a car like thePorsche Boxster S, they are very pleased with their form of transportation. Then there are those people that are never fully satisfied with what they have, the old "grass is always greener on the other side" scenario. The latter description fits the owner of this Porsche-turned-Lamborghini Murcielago . Yep, this guy overhauled his Porsche to turn it into a Murcielago. Maybe he missed his chance to own the Lamborghini once the last production model rolled off the line, but that still isn't a reason to do this to a perfectly good Boxster.
Now, we really shouldn't share this type of information for fear of someone else creating this type of sin, but this little project - complete with Lamborghini's scissor doors - cost the owner $45,000. So if you want everyone to make fun of you and turn their nose up at your decision, go ahead and save up $45K and do this to your car.

Searching for your next job means thinking and working fast. Dawdlers need not apply.
Sanjay Sathe, chief executive officer of the San Jose-based outplacement company Rise-Smart, says a focused plan can save valuable time and produce results.
"The single most important thing is to get to that next job fast," Sathe said. "Everybody gets so busy with the process rather than focusing on the results."
Sathe offered four steps toward job-seeking success:
Don't spend too much time on job sites.
Surfing sites wastes time, Sathe said.
Instead, be specific when you browse by identifying key words and phrases that relate to your industry or career field. This focuses your search and saves time.
"It's very important to get to the job you want," Sathe said.
Sharpen your résumé.
"You really need to spend a lot of time on your résumé. You can't take it for granted," Sathe said. "Résumés should be accomplishment-based. What have you done?"
Polish your pitch.
"How in a clear, succinct way can you get across what you're made of?" Sathe asks. "It's all about what you can offer" an employer. Devise and rehearse the message you will present to employers.
Use social media and other technology.
As employers are using it, job seekers must embrace it, Sathe said. LinkedIn, Facebook and other sites help get your brand and skills out in front of potential employers.
"It's a two-way street on social media. Employers are trying to meet (candidates) through social media. Make sure you're able to reach out to them on social media," Sathe said. "A lot of it is positioning. You can package everything together put your portfolio online, your contact information. It's a great way of presenting yourself."

How To Make Whole-Grain Teff Porridge
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Teff is a gluten-free whole grain that's starting to get more attention these days. And for good reason: these tiny grains pack a big nutritional punch since they're made up primarily of the bran and germ, where all the good-for-you stuff is. Mild and somewhat nutty in flavor, teff porridge makes a fantastic stand-in for oatmeal or Cream of Wheat any day of the week.
What Is Teff?
Teff is truly an ancient grain, having been cultivated first in Abyssinia and then in Ethiopia and Eritrea for thousands of years. It is considered to be among the first plants to be domesticated by human beings! It is still primarily grown in Ethiopia and Eritrea today, with some production in the United States, mostly in Idaho.
Teff is often ground into a flour (and most commonly used for making the popular, spongy Ethiopian flatbread injera), but it also delicious left whole and cooked into a porridge. This can be eaten warm at breakfast, just like oatmeal, and its nutty flavor also goes well with all the usual oatmeal toppings, like bananas or other fresh fruit, milk or milk alternatives, maple syrup and other sweeteners.
What Does Teff Taste Like?
The texture of the porridge is smooth and somewhat gelatinous, with the tiny teff grains providing a toothsome bite. Many people compare it to polenta and I think that's fair, although the grains are much smaller and more gritty. It can become gloppy as it cools or if it was cooked too stiff — I prefer to loosen the texture with additional hot water or milk.
While it's optional, I advise toasting teff in a dry skillet for 5 minutes or so before cooking it. This will highlight the grain's natural nuttiness.
Where Can I Find Teff?
You will likely find teff at larger natural foods stores and coops. Or you can order it online from places like Bob's Red Mill or The Teff Company.
How To Cook Whole-Grain Teff Porridge
Makes about 3 cups
What You Need
1 cup teff
3 cup water
Pinch of salt
Measuring cup
Frying pan
Wooden spoon
2-quart sauce pan
- Toast the teff (optional): Measure the teff into a frying pan and toast over low heat, stirring frequently. The teff will be done when you hear little pops and crackles, about 2 minutes.
- Add the water: Immediately transfer the toasted teff into a 2-quart sauce pan. Add the water and a pinch of salt and stir.
- Cook the teff: Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check the teff at 15 minutes: all the water should be absorbed and the teff should be soft and almost creamy. Stir frequently, especially as the teff begins to thicken, to prevent burning.
- Rest the teff: When the teff is done, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

Looks interesting...I think I'll give it a try!
Worth a shot. I could eat my weight in injera (my Valentine's day gift from the hubby is a feast at our favorite Ethiopian place) so this is definitely interesting.
I guessed wrong - when I saw the photo, I thought it might be amaranth.:)
Thanks Dana, I'd like to give it a try, assuming there's an organic option grown in the US or maybe one from outside that's fairly traded (and organic). Does anyone know? I googled it but didn't have any luck finding the whole-grain and my local food co-op doesn't carry it. It looks like the teff grown by The Teff Company is GMO-free (which is good) but not organic.
It seems important to think proactively so teff doesn't do to Ethiopia what chocolate did to West Africa. That's just one example.
I love Cream of Wheat and I like injera, so I may have to try this! One nit-picky question though: why toast it in a separate pan? Couldn't you just toast it in the sauce pan and then add water? I don't have a dishwasher so I'm always looking to consolidate.
@Kris0218: I hear you about not dirtying an extra pan! I don't have a dishwasher either.
You could just toast the teff in a sauce pan but it will be a little harder to do as the best way to toast something is to expose it to as much of the hot surface area as possible. The wide, shallow frying pan will give you optimum conditions to do this; a sauce pan may simply heat the teff without actually toasting it or take longer to toast it than it would take you to clean out a frying pan!
Also, since you are toasting it dry, you can simply wipe out the frying pan afterwards. It shouldn't need a thorough scrubbing.
if we buy teff here in the US, is it going to be like quinoa where the people that used to grow it and buy it as a staple now cannot afford to buy it since we've driven the prices up?
@Dragynphyre that quinoa story has been pretty well challenged. Overall it seems like the worldwide demand for quinoa has probably actually benefited the farmers who grow it. Here's one piece arguing that side.
Dragynphyre ~ If you mean if people in the US buy teff exported from Ethiopia, then I'm wondering the same thing too. Buying fair trade helps a little, though how much I don't know. If possible, I'd always prefer to buy locally grown food.
Here's the link to an article that appeared in The Guardian recently titled "Move over quinoa, Ethiopa's teff poised to be next big super grain: http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jan/23/quinoa-ethiopia-teff-super-grain
I'd suggest reading the comments too - sometimes I learn more from them than I do from the articles.
i use it in a dry mix i whip up with polenta, brown rice i've ground a bit in the blender and oatmeal. teff is expensive and combining with other grain helps tame the "gooey texture. to the grains i add flax seeds and cinnamon, shake up and store in the freezer. use it right out of the freezer. (no need to thaw grains and seeds.) i put about 1/4c.of the mix in a bowl with about 3/4c. water and microwave on 7 for 7-8 minutes. i add a little salt, mix well to cream it up and add a little unsweetened almond milk. you can drizzle with a sweetener if you like. optionally, i have simply added a bit more salt and a pat of butter and a grating of parmesan for a more savory bowl, kind of like plain polenta or grits.
Faith ~ While *some* farmers may benefit in the short-run, it's the long term consequences that are most troubling. Here's something that looks at the larger issues involved: http://www.alternet.org/food/eat-quinoa-or-not-controversy-continues-are-we-even-asking-right-questions
This whole conversation has made me rethink my consumption of quinoa, and for the same ethical, cultural and environmental reasons, I'll also pass on teff exported from Ethiopia.
On the other hand, if I can find organic teff grown here in the States, I'd love to try it.
Having worked/lived in Ethiopia for several years, I can say 100% NO to buying exported teff! There's not a good fair-trade market here for that. So please do buy it from Idaho farms! Ethiopians rely completely on injera, they really do not eat anything else. Food security is already an issue in the country (not to mention Eritrea, which is much worse off), and I'm very nervous about the continued popularity of teff abroad. This is where the population gets their nutrition from - in the West you have SO many other options...! That being said, the government has tight control over here, and I'd be very surprised if they allowed mass exportation at the expense of the national diet. (As mentioned in the Guardian article) (Also quick note - Abyssinia is just an antiquated name for Ethiopia. They're the same thing - so teff was not grown first in Abyssinia, then in Ethiopia. It's always been grown on these same highland plateaus - a fact Ethiopians are super proud of! :)
re: quinoa sustainability. There are now Tasmanian (island state, Australia) farmers successfully growing their own quinoa, and other rare grains, that are producing sustainable and responsible crops.

An Empty Road
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
Born below the ever cloud-capped peaks that gave the mountains their name, the

Dez Wells, who is from Raleigh and played at Word of God High, has a specific role on the Maryland team – bring energy.
That's what he did Thursday night, when the Terps were in a tough situation against Wake Forest in the first round.
"I'm an energy guy on this team," he said after Maryland's 75-62 win. "They go as I go. That may be unfair but that's my role."
And that's what he'll look to do Friday night at 7 p.m., when he faces another Raleigh product – Duke's Ryan Kelly – that he well remembers from his high school days.
Wells, a 6-foot-5 sophomore guard, remembers when Kelly, a Duke senior, played at Ravenscroft, and Kelly, Wells and Word of God's John Wall had some memorable games against each other.
"He's the same player," Wells said of Kelly. "He's gotten a lot better. But he's been the same since high school."
And he knows how much better the Blue Devils are when the 6-foot-10 Kelly is on the floor. Kelly missed the previous two Maryland games with a foot injury, including the Terps' dramatic 83-81 win in College Park Feb. 16. Wells had nine points, seven assists and seven rebounds – as well as five fouls and six turnovers – in that game. The Duke-Maryland series has often been chippy, and that game ended with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski complaining about security for his team at Maryland.
Without Kelly, Duke looked like a team that was often straining. The Devils lacked depth inside and missed the strong screens and deft shooting of Kelly.
With Kelly back, Duke beat Miami and hammered Virginia Tech and North Carolina. In that UNC win in particular, Duke had the look of a team capable of steaming to the Final Four.
Wells said Maryland won't make any fundamental changes to how it approaches Duke now that Kelly is back on the floor. The biggest change, he said, is the Maryland defenders will have to help out more.
"I expect Duke to be Duke. They'll be who they are. We'll have to be who we are as a team," he said.
And Kelly? He'll be the same player Wells remembers from Ravenscroft. The two didn't speak often then during those ferocious high school games, Wells said.
"When we did talk," he said, "it wasn't anything polite we'd say to each other."
