Syria: Terrorists kidnap and torture innocent Mufti
Syria: Terrorists brag with crimes against Syrian village elder. The criminal gangs, which have also set the massacre in Banias into the world, are not afraid to kidnap an "immemorially" Syrian Mufti and to torture him and make a show of their crimes against this old Syrian person on social networks, while they use lies in order to justify their horrible acts against such an elder person.

Syria: Families of Kidnapped Lebanese nationals Demonstrate in Beirut
The families of the Lebanese nationals who were kidnapped by the foreign-backed jihadists and terrorists within Syrian borders have carried out a protest in the Lebanese capital Beirut today – and this is very understandable, of course. These Lebanese families are missing their relatives since over a year now and thus, if there is still hope that these kidnapped Lebanese nationals are still alive is sadly questionable. Read More »

Derogatory word for an immature fan of science fiction, or sci-fi. A science fiction fan who doesn't have a realistic attitude toward the genre, but thinks that science fiction is the be-all ad end-all of his/her life.
Look at that skiffy over there with the Spock ears. Let's hit him with the Shrek slime!
by pentozali February 06, 2006
Onomatopoeia for the word sci-fi as a derogatory label towards the softer forms of science fiction (i.e. space opera, science fantasy, Doctor Who, the Marvel/DC Comics universes, etc.). Most users of the word are purists that reject anything not grounded in some semblance of reality (or, failing that, fringe science).
The Sci-Fi Channel became total skiffy the moment they renamed to SyFy.

EADS and Boeing Battle for USAF Tanker Deal
Posted: 05/26/2010 12:00:00 AM EDT | 0
Airbus parent EADS and Boeing are preparing to do battle over the US Air Force's $50 billion KC-X aerial refuelling tanker contract, after EADS North America notified the US Department of Defense that it will compete for the deal as a prime contractor.
EADS was to have partnered with Northrop Grumman to offer the KC-45, which is a variant of the Airbus A330 airliner, but Northrop Grumman withdrew from the competition in February of this year, so EADS has decided to lead a bid on its own. Boeing and EADS must submit proposals by the 8th July.
The KC-X competition is for 179 aircraft to replace some of the U.S. Air Force's vast KC-135 fleet. EADS plans to establish a modification facility in Mobile, Alabama, to convert A330-200s into tanker-transports. The company had reportedly discussed new teaming arrangements with US prime contractors such as L-3 Communications and Raytheon, but in the end, decided to go it alone.
Other members of the EADS team include AAR Cargo, Cobham, Eaton, General Electric, GKN, Goodrich, Hamilton Sundstrand, Honeywell, RTI and Vought.
EADS is very confident that the KC-45 is the best technical solution to meet the requirement, but other factors may decide the eventual outcome.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Both of our daughters have attended Southlake schools since elementary school. The reputation for the highest academic rigor and competition is, in my opinion, correct. However, my children thrived in this environment because they had such strong peer groups whose parents also had high academic expectations for their children. Both girls have now progressed with many AP classes and many hours of college credit (with lots of school activities) and have been accepted to many of the high ranking national schools throughout the country. I give a lot of the credit to the preparation given to them by Southlake-Carroll.
I grew up in the CISD and went to Carroll Senior High School. I can honestly say that CSHS was more rigorous and academically challenging than my undergraduate years. CSHS prepared me in every way possible to be an academician. I am now a law student at the George Washington University Law School.
This is truly one of the best schools in the state. After coming in 2nd place in the Lone Star Cup (only 13 points behind The Woodlands) the stats don't lie about this school. The boys swimming/diving and soccer teams won state in 2011 along with the girls drill team, the Emerald Belles. Being a one high school town, sports are very competitive, however the results are obviously in favor of this school. School spirit is HUGE in Southlake! The fine arts are among the best in the state. Carroll band and choir participants are among the highest at Solo and Ensemble competition. AP classes are rigorous, but extremely beneficial in the end. Even regular classes at Carroll are demanding. If you don't want to work, Carroll is not the school for you! The senior high is one of the older CISD campuses, but is in the final stages of a make over. The overall teacher/administration quality at the senior high is better than the high school, however, both schools are amazing. I have family all over the state of Texas and in comparison to my relative's schools, they don't even compare to Carroll. After going to CISD schools since 3rd grade, I am proud I got to attend Carroll schools. Go Dragons!!
Carroll Senior High School is a great community of students led by a great teaching staff. Sports are what most people hear about when they ask about Carroll, but it does not mean the other areas of interest that kids have are unsuccessful. The arts, theatre and music departments are just as strong and have helped shape young adults and prepare them for the next steps in their life. I would recommend Carroll for anyone moving to the area.
I got a great education from the Caroll School District. They do a good job of preparing you for college and the teachers are all bright and obviously want to be there.
Carroll Senior High School really helped me prepare for college. I did especially well with writing because I had to write term papers in high school and include MLA formatted citations. During my freshman year in college, other students asked me to edit their papers for them because I had great grammar skills and an extensive vocabulary. I give a lot of credit to Mrs. Salyer, though I'm not sure if she's still there. Her non-AP English class was really difficult, but I still use the knowledge from her class to this day.
Personally, I found Carroll to prepare me extremely well for the college I attend now. (Texas A&M) It encouraged me to strive for my best in every possible way. Extra curriculars were great, and even the weirdest of kids could find friends here. That being said, if your child doesn't want to be the best or be very involved in school, they will HATE it. Many students found that too much was expected of them and resigned themselves to attaining less than they could have, had they been at a less intense school.
My kids both graduated from CHS. They were prepared in every way to succeed at the next level, mainly because of an environment that doesn't accept anything less than your best effort. I had more than one teacher tell me that they had never seen a place like CHS -- where the peer pressure is to perform. If your kids are willing to work hard, they will be in the best environment you can imagine. If they are slackers, they will be miserable here.
Football program is the best in the nation. Excellent sense of community involvement and tons of civic pride. Drive the neighborhoods and you will see the Dragon emblem posted in front yards all over with what extra cirricular activity their child participates in. Go Dragons!
We moved to Southlake for several reasons, but the schools were one. THe Sr. High school is awesome. The academics are stand out. THe sports also stand out. Volunteers are at every school in the district. This is an affluent area which allows more volunteers. It also has caused more drugs. Good place for your kids to learn, but there is a lot of peer pressure.
AP classes are where the best teachers and academic instruction are. There is alot of emphasis on attendance. The overall atmosphere is one of good school spirit and kids who intend to go to college. The art department is not big but the instructor is very good and kids really like this teacher. Sports are very important to the kids as well as to the community. There is is huge support for all sports especially football which is very high caliber. The Choir program is strong at Carroll. The band is quite large and is very well respected. The band director has been at Carroll for 30 plus years. The band program starts in sixth grade and is important and many many kids start in the sixth grade and remain through high school. The theatre department has had turn over but still retains many students interested in the arts.
Great school! Lots of AP and honor classes to challenge your child. Regular classes appear to be somewhat on the easy side. Kids are VERY motivated and work hard. If you are not serious about your child's education, this school is NOT for you!

Wes Peden has been voted the number one juggler in the industry for the past three years, and he will make his way to Hillsborough next month to put on a show.
Peden will perform in the Shoebox Tour on Tuesday, May 22 at at 7 p.m. The cast comes all the way from Stockholm, Sweden.
The Shoebox Tour is a modern juggling show that has performed all over the world in Canada, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Japan, and Iceland. This spring, the show will return to America with a new international cast.
This year's tour was created by Peden and Jay Gilligan, who are both International Jugglers' Association (IJA) Gold Medal Winners. The duo created more than 700 new tricks made for four hands, as they researched, documented, and choreographed these tricks during an intense four-month training session in Germany.
Peden and Gilligan have both won the IJA Juniors Stage Championships, and both currently reside in Stockholm although they share American roots.
Both jugglers have extensive backgrounds in the field. Gilligan has peformed in 26 countries, and is the head juggling teacher at the Swedish National Circus School.
Wes started juggling at the age of three, and the online juggling community continues to vote him as the best one in the field.
Music during the show will be provided by Erik Nilsson, a graduate from the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. He will play a live original soundtrack on acoustic and electronic drums.
Nilsson has toured with Robyn, Dido, Coldplay, and also had the honor to perform in 2010 at the Royal Wedding of the Princess of Sweden.
Tour dates, venue addresses, show times, and prices can be found at www.shoeboxtour.com.

The proposals have sparked lively debate — not least because of the unusually interventionist stance taken by the Conservatives. More to the point are questions about whether higher prices will actually cut excessive indulgence.

A D&C and Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception is a common surgical procedure that may be necessary after a miscarriage or sometimes after birth
You are most likely to have a D&C as a day-patient as it is considered a safe and routine procedure. Usually used to diagnose problems, in this context, it is performed to clear out pregnancy tissues from the womb that the body has not completely removed for itself.
• An incomplete miscarriage happens when you suffer a miscarriage but your womb doesn't expel all of the pregnancy tissues. This can cause further bleeding and be uncomfortable or even painful.
• If you have given birth but have been found to have tissues retained in your womb, you may have a D&C to clear any residual traces of placenta. This will help prevent abnormal postnatal bleeding and infection.
When not connected to pregnancy, a gynecological D&C is often used to investigate the causes of very heavy or irregular periods, or post-menopausal vaginal bleeding.
If you are booked in for a D&C, read up on what to expect, how you can prepare and the risks involved in our guide to D&C. You can also learn more about the recovery process.
hi ya to anyone who reads these comments
I suffered a second trimester missed misscarriage in late oct 2007. for any one who does'nt know what that is!! it is when the baby dies and you dont know it because there are no signs except that you gradually loose the pregnancy feelings like the breast swellings and morning sickness... I had no bleeding just a tiny bit of spotting and was told by my GP it was probably nothing to worry about and to wait for my scan. That was when I was told the baby had no heart beat and after a discusion and a second scan a week later they said i could wait and see if i would miscarry naturally or i could have the D&C straight away...i waited another five weeks and nothing happened so i had to have the opp anyway. ive just had my third cycle since and im still hoping for another chance but its a slim one cause of my age...any support or comment welcome please!!! thinking on you guys who have the same problems
Posted: 05/02/2008 at 11:52
oh , dear ,
do not be abset , do not be sad , i know how do you feel , you need to think positively.
and try to enjoiy and do do your best
good luck

Hi Emma,
i'm glad someone read what i said, i was a bit scared to write at first...thought it might sound absurd that i should be so upset even now five months later. My problem is that ive had other children all of which have been ok; in a previous relationship that all went wrong, finally just when i thought no man could be trusted i met someone ,fell pregnant on the pill totally unplanned at 40yrs old...i knew he would'nt turn his back on me even though we had only been together 5/6months but he thinks it probably went wrong because of my age and is not keen to try again, i would love to have had that baby for him as well as me but it was'nt to be and i know there are so many others out there with similar problems...i just wonder if there is anything to improve my chances without going to the dr only to be told its my age or something like that...many thanks hun hope your really happy with your new baby

hi all,
Hi Katherine, You can't say for sure that it was your age. The hosp I was at say they have at least two women who come in for the d&c everyday. I had mc at 25 so anyone can have one. There are lots of things you can do. I took pregnacare before I conceived my daughter and it made my feel reassured that she was getting the vitamins she needed,etc. Tried to eat more oily fish and took omega tablets also from the pregnacare range in the third trimester. You may not be thinking or trying again or wish to wait a little longer but just to let you know incase you are interested the most ferrtile period for women is around two weeks after first day of your period so there are just two to three days for conception to really take place each month.
My hubbie and I were just letting nature take it's course and then I was preg in June and mc in Aug/Sept. Then I was sort of really wanting a baby like never before. I was worried that I couldn't carry a baby & feelings like this were going on. If you need any advice just ask.
Thank you for your story Emma. Very uplifting to read. I also lost at 11 weeks. I'm waiting a few years before no2 as I want my daughter to be past the terrible two's stage! Also want to enjoy watching her growing up a bit. Are you having anymore or is 3 enough.sx

A Painful Birth for an ID Card Standard
Initiative moves forward, attempting to create standards where none exist
NIST's objection to GSC-IS that it was not specific enough to ensure that anyone holding a GSC-IS-compliant card could, for instance, use it to log on to any U.S. government computer network set up for smart card authentication, says Gilles Lisimaque of the Washington-area consulting firm Identification Technology Partners and a former executive at France-based smart card manufacturer Gemplus International SA. Lisimaque worked with NIST on the new spec.
One Blueprint, Two Buildings
He says GSC-IS was designed to allow agencies to buy standard technology, but it did not describe in enough detail how it was to be used. He compares it to two builders going to Home Depot, a major U.S. chain of home improvement stores, and buying the same materials. "They can build two different houses, although they have the same supplier," he says.
In fact, he says, agencies did implement GSC-IS differently. For instance, some require cardholders to enter a personal identification number immediately when inserting their smart card into a reader attached to a PC; others may require the PIN only when using the chip card to sign an e-mail, and still others may require a biometric identifier to create a digital signature.
"Although they are using the same tools, the same application does not interoperate, because in some cases the client (the PC) is going to expect behavior in one sequence, and another is going to expect it in another sequence," Lisimaque says.
What NIST has done in the smart card draft, known as Special Publication 800-73, is to create an application, called Personal Identity Verification, that must work the same in all implementations. That should mean, for instance, that an Agriculture Department employee would be able to use his or her card to log on at a Department of Treasury computer.
One issue is that the PIV spec means new or added software for cards and the computers or readers that interact with the cards.
International Standards
"The PIV application can be implemented as a wrapper layer on top of existing applications," including GSC-IS applications, James Dray, NIST's chief smart card scientist, says in an e-mail response to Card Technology.
He says that NIST's draft spec complies with international standards for card commands and labels for such data as the cardholder number and digital certificates. In the NIST spec, Dray says, it does not matter in what internal format the card uses to store the data elements "thereby future-proofing the PIV architecture against changes in card technology."
Lisimaque agrees, but notes that agencies may face significant hurdles in moving from their current GSC-IS implementations to the NIST technology.
Adding new software on the card means recertifying the security of the smart card. That can take nine months to a year, Lisimaque says.
Vendors, which already have spent considerable sums to develop and certify products that conform to GSC-IS, were furious at the thought of starting over, says one source who asked not to be named. "Industry says, we've worked with you up to this point and you've changed it again. How many times are you going to do this?"
Middleware Muddles
For agencies that have deployed smart cards, one of the big issues could be updating the middleware that allows the smart card chip to interact with PC applications, such as network log-on.
Agencies refresh their software on a regular basis. But if they have to do it all at once to conform to the new spec it will mean added expense and disruption. Says one Defense Department official, "All the old stuff must work, the new stuff must work, and then later on the old stuff has to be flushed from the system. The phasing of this is hard."
That is an especially big problem for Defense, which has equipped 2.2 million computers to communicate with its smart cards. Defense Department officials say they continue to discuss the issue with NIST.

Thiago Silva: "The Neymar-Messi partnership is quality in its purest form."
Thiago Silva: "The Neymar-Messi partnership is quality in its purest form."
Part 2 of the interview with Brazil and PSG defender, Thiago Silva. "Juventus are close to signing Gonzalo Higuain? That's good news because it means that Ibrahimovic won't leave PSG. I haven't spoken with Ibrahimovic for days, but I still want him by my side at PSG. Perhaps along with Wayne Rooney - he is such a great player. Every time I face Rooney it's a battle." "Gonzalo Higuain is a striker of international class. Juventus will become more competitive in the Champions League with him. Juventus are already strong in the other areas of the pitch. Their defence is formidable, and Andrea Pirlo never ages." "Italy will be frightening opponents at the Confederations Cup. And the World Cup next year in Brazil. Football always brings forward new talents." "If Napoli will lose Edinson Cavani? He is another champion that has been linked with PSG. But Napoli isn't only Cavani, and Rafa Benitez is a winner. He demonstrated that by winning the Europa League with Chelsea this year." "Carlo Ancelotti dreams about going to Real Madrid? I hope that he stays at PSG. We're friends. He is a man that knows how to create a mix between a family and a squad - just like he did at Milan. Leonardo will definitely stay here at PSG, and that's important." "The Neymar-Messi partnership? Barça have made a great deal. If Neymar and Messi find the right feeling between them, then it will be quality in its purest form. It will be nasty, and I say this as a defender." "Inter want to sign Paulinho? Did you see the goal that he made against England? Such prowess. Paulinho would be perfect for Italian football." Paulinho's goal against England: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHhNWZreaIk "Hernanes? He has improved tactically, and now he can be a protagonist in every midfield role. Lazio must build an even stronger team around him", concluded Thiago Silva. Part 1 of the interview: http://sulia.com/milanello/f/2125533e-34cd-48ad-a26c-a2203f089936/

SRGMP, after a long time, presented an outstanding extravaganza of music and singing, blending into a near perfect show. Devoid of any drama, it was a tribute to the geniuses who have given so much to the audience over the years. Friday saw a round of gazals and semi classical, presided by two doyens of music scene, Jagjit Singh and Pt Jasraj, both of whom filled the atmosphere with awe and delight with their respective recitals . Later, the contestants not only lifted their own performance beyond the realm of ordinary, each of them giving one enthralling performance after another, but they even managed to lift the show altogether to the highest level. No enforced drama, no unbecoming antics by anyone which the show had previously been notorious for, it stood out for its purity and superlative music. The same went for the Saturday episode, which though was more of a promotion for Farah Khan and Shahrukh Khan�s upcoming film Om Shanti Om, but that did not take away anything from the extraordinary musical evening. If anything, the energy radiated by the effervescent Farah Khan and the stellar performances by the top three only added to the brilliance of this episode.
Amul Star Voice of India, on the other hand, continues with it�s confusing antics. The Wild card is over, the confusion as to how many and what way is not. The audience started with knowing four to be selected, four became five ( veto power of the judges? Please!) and then it finally came to six. Even more alarming was the way the esteemed mentors were reacting. Abhijit�s outburst at this stage, about a Prithvi contestant not being deserving enough to be in the Bemisaal 12, let alone top 5, ( suspiciously pointing at Ishmeet who cried heartbreakingly even after being declared safe, ) was not only humiliating and rude to say the least, but also indicative to the immense dissatisfaction plaguing this reality show. All the contestants, without exception, have a perpetual bewildered look on their faces � probably wondering why they are where they are in the first place. The final selection of the Wild Card entries is supposed to be a 50-50 decision, yet none of the judges were seen giving any marks to any of the WC contestants ! So is it that the marks given by other four judges in the first Wild Card round would be taken into account? Or would the current panel of judges give the marks later? Talk about confusion compounded!
This show has every ingredient to make it a successful one - eye catching sets, a warm host, brilliant contestants, at least 10 of whom can beat anyone on their day, and some great singing. Yet the show is plunging down, both in esteem and the TRP with each passing day, all thanks to a baffling elimination process where the voting pattern does not even reflect the sentiment of the masses, and the ensuing format, or rather, the lack of it. Even the presence of the brilliant trio Shankar-Eshaan-Lloyd on Friday or the Saawariya team on Saturday did little to brighten the strangely gloomy atmosphere, though the scintillating performances by young Ranbir and Sonam did lift the spirits. The performance of all the participants was another highlight of the show. What is notable here is the team spirit showed by them. Every now and then they have set aside their inevitable rivalry, and performed background vocals for each other ( watch out for the outstanding background vocals by Abhaas, Priyani and Harshit in Arshpreet�s Aa-ja-ve-mahi). The camadiere showed by them is worth a watch in itself.
Will the reentry of two (or is it three now? Confusion confusion!) through wild card save this reality show or help it�s way up the charts once more? With SRGMP finale round the corner and Indian Idol already over, Star Voice of India still can fancy some chances, provided it immediately finds ways to iron away the multiple lines of confusion and give the audience what it really tunes in to watch � good music.

totally agreed ..SRGMP was so awesome on both days.heopfuly they continue it and have no more drama
last week SRGMP was mindblowing... hopefully we will see more amazing perfermances in next two weeks.
voi isn't well organized show, i felt that since the beginning. thank god ,ppl finally realized it.
You are right on target with your observations. Friday's srgmp was fabulous and SVOI continues to confuse despite having excellent singers. The wild card was peculiar. The different judges picked 4 of 7, regular judges added a 5th so we had another selection round of 5 of the 7 plus Sumitra (who did not sing), with public voting. Does not make a lot of sense.

Everybody knows why we buy iPads. It's because when Steve Jobs holds up a piece of electronic equipment, we are all conditioned to buy it at our earliest opportunity. Well, that and the fact that he just happens to make some of the coolest electronic devices known to man. The iPad is just the latest in a long line of neat and sweet little gadgets that have changed the way we view the gizmos that we carry around with us. It can store all sorts of neat apps for blasting aliens, rescuing princesses, and maneuvering abstract objects on quests to obtain other abstract objects. It also has tons of games, too.
But are we nothing more than game playing robots who buy technologies like the iPad out of a compulsion to play games on some kind of hardware device? Are there any truly great applications that one can use, in order to justify purchasing the iPad instead of a tablet PC or even just a basic, old fashioned laptop? There are, in fact. Some good applications that you might consider having in your iPad are "video converter for iPad" that allows you to convert xvid videos so that they could be played on iPad, "iWorks" that is similar to Open Office for word processing and spreadsheets tasks, VLC which is the best media player that you could have in your iPad, filezilla FTP client to access to FTP servers and file transfers and Ares which is a P2P network to allow you to share digital media and files over a virtual file sharing network.
In some cases, there are many other truly useful programs that one can download and install onto the iPad, which will allow them to build spreadsheets, track information relative to accounts (such as at doctor's offices), and manage small details no matter where you are. In essence, the iPad is the iPhone's big, uncommunicative brother.
So if you are thinking seriously about going out and buying an iPad, you might want to consider what you are actually going to use it for. If you just want to play games, why not just get a PSP or a DS, which specialize in things of that nature? If you want a lovely game playing device that you can justify on your expense account, however, the iPad might be just the "I'm basically an adult, but here's a shout out to my inner child" kind of gizmo. The ability to both work and play is wonderful.

I suppose it goes without saying that the question we get asked the most, at least in the A&R department, is "how do I get signed?", or "what are you guys looking for?". As the music biz continues to change, the answer to this question seems to change right along with it. However, in an [...]Continue Reading »
What is a "super fan?" A super fan is like your disciple. They spread the good news about you to anyone and everyone. They are the ones that come to all your concerts in their area, will sometimes drive far for one, and they are the ones hanging out to meet you after your show. [...]Continue Reading »
As a part of this blog we periodically want to show a side of our artists and staff that you may not normally see. That may be the process of writing, or how to survive on the road, what it's like to work with me, or, like today's blog, their heart for missions.
We sent a list of questions to Jason Gray, Matt Papa, Jaime Jamgochian and Josiah Warneking from Sixteen Cities along with John Mays and Rebekah Markowitz from our staff, asking about their experiences on the mission field. Read on and see how each of them have a heart for the lost….Continue Reading »
In Lesson 1 we talked about how to get the Gig – and naturally, the follow up to that lesson would be how to get invited back to the gig. One of the big mistakes that artists make is that once you've played a venue, you don't need to go back there. Nothing [...]Continue Reading »

Guide to NIH Data-Sharing Plans
3.1. Types of data and formats, and what data will be shared
To download this document, save the page.
1. Using this guide
This guide outlines a writing strategy for creating a data-sharing plan based on the NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide. Before you start writing, please review carefully the NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide for official instructions. This guide assumes that you have read and understood the NIH instructions and have determined which requirements apply to your proposal.
2. General advice
Identify all relevant requirements
An NIH solicitation may have data management and sharing requirements in two places. Comply with the requirements in this order:
- Solicitation
- NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide
Basic objectives
Your plan should describe what data you will share with other researchers and how you will format, documents, and distribute those data. The NIH expects that you will, as much as possible, share data and other products with other researchers. Your plan should also address the long-term availability of your data.
Note: If ethical, legal, contractual, or technical conditions prevent you from sharing or distributing data, you still have to submit a data-sharing plan according to the NIH requirements. In this situation, your plan should explain why you cannot share data.
In most cases, your strategy will reflect the unique needs of your project and the prevailing norms and practices in your field. You should make reference to those norms and practices whenever appropriate.
Identify a public-access repository, archive, or database before you start writing
Ideally, you should use a public-access repository, archive, or database to preserve and share data. If possible, identify a potential repository or archive and review its submission requirements before you start drafting a plan. The submission requirements will shape your data management strategy and provide material for your plan. In some cases, you may have to use different repositories for different types of data. Start by consulting the list of NIH-supported data sharing repositories.
Note: You may be able to archive final data and other research products at the Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM). DRUM is managed and maintained by the University Libraries. Please contact us if you're interested in this option (email: email@example.com).
If you cannot find an appropriate data repository or archive, contact the NIH Program Officer associated with your solicitation for direction.
Dealing with multiple investigators, institutions, and sponsors
If your project involves multiple investigators or teams, either domestic or international, your plan should describe how you will harmonize and synchronize data management and post-project data sharing. At a minimum, indicate who is responsible for data management and sharing.
If your project involves multiple funding sources or partnerships, your plan should describe how you will accommodate and balance the data management expectations of the different sponsors or partners.
Writing style
The amount of detail in your plan will depend on the characteristics of your research. While NIH data-sharing plans are typically short, this guide will prompt you to provide more detail in a few important places.
It can be helpful to identify any relevant rules, standards, or codes of practice that will affect how you manage and share data. This demonstrates to the reviewers that your data sharing practices are consistent with the standards in your field.
In certain situations, it is appropriate to state that a particular issue will not affect your plan. For example, if there are no restrictions, limitations, or conditions on sharing data, it can be useful to state that fact (e.g. "This project will not collect or produce confidential or sensitive data.").
3. Plan content
This guide covers topics that frequently appear in data-sharing plans, but individual solicitations may have additional guidelines. We provide information and advice about the following topics:
- Types of data and formats, and what data will be shared
- Documentation
- Access and sharing
- Re-use and re-distribution
To help you complete your plan, we break down each topic into a series of basic questions. Your answers will provide the content for your plan. Not all questions will be relevant to your research.
3.1. Types of data and formats, and what data will be shared
For this topic, describe your final research data. The NIH concept of final research data covers "data on which summary statistics and tables are based," but not "laboratory notebooks, partial datasets, preliminary analyses, drafts of scientific papers, plans for future research, peer review reports, communications with colleagues, or physical objects, such as gels or laboratory specimens" (NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide). Use this section to outline how you will store and manage your data during the project. You should also identify what data you will retain after the project.
What types of data will you produce, how much, and for how long long? (This is about the volume and variety of data.)
What are the data sources? Are you collecting data yourself or using publicly available data from open-access repositories or data centers?
What is your plan for data storage, security, and backup during your project? Who will be responsible for these activities?
Of all the data you will collect or produce, what data will you retain after the project is finished, and why?
- Consider what data are necessary for replication and what data may stimulate new research in your field and beyond. See our criteria for retaining and sharing data for additional considerations.
- If possible, reinforce your decision to retain data with reference to potential user communities. Who could use your data?
- If you choose not to retain certain data, explain why.
What file formats will you use for data sharing?
- Many commercial software formats and instrument formats are not suitable for public access and long-term preservation because they can only be opened and manipulated by the specific software or instrument that created them. See our format recommendations for open alternatives.
Tip: If you identify a potential public-access repository or archive before you start writing your plan, the data managers can often direct you to specific file formats.
3.2. Documentation
For this topic, describe how you will document your data. The NIH maintains that "proper documentation is needed to ensure that others can use the dataset and to prevent misuse, misinterpretation, and confusion" (NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide).
Useful documentation includes all the information about your data that another researcher would need to understand and use your data for replication, reference, or new research. Depending on how you document your research, you may already collect this information in a codebook, data dictionary, readme file, or lab notebook. Typically, the documentation will include general information about your project, data collection methods, variables, locations, data processing, codes or abbreviations, terms and conditions of use, software required, and so on.
Note: You do not have to include any documentation in your data-sharing plan, only a description of your method of documentation.
Tip: If you identify a potential public-access repository or archive before you start writing your plan, the data managers can often direct you to specific documentation standards.
How will you record documentation for your data? Will you use a standard form of documentation? Who will be responsible for this documentation?
- In some fields, documentation is highly standardized and requires specific information. If this applies to you, identify the standard.
- If there is no commonly used documentation standard appropriate to your situation, state that fact and describe how you will document your data.
3.3. Access and sharing—this is the most important part of your plan
For this topic, describe how you will share data. The NIH identifies four major ways to share data:
- Under the auspices of the PI
- Data archive
- Data enclave
- Mixed mode sharing
The method(s) you choose will depend on the nature of your data and the facilities available. Review the NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide for additional details, and consult the list of NIH-supported data sharing repositories.
What data will you share with other researchers?
Who will have access to your data? How will they find and obtain your data?
- Common people to consider in this situation are other researchers (in your field and beyond) and the general public. In some cases, depending on the nature of your project, you can share data with both groups without restriction. In other cases, you may be able to share data with other researchers but not the general public. Explain any such conditions.
- If you plan to submit your data to a repository or archive, you will have to comply with their policies and requirements for access and sharing. Note any restrictions on access.
- You may be able to share final data and other research products through the Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM). Please contact us if you're interested in this option (email: firstname.lastname@example.com).
- You may be able to use your personal website, or your team's website, to share data. However, there is always a risk that the data files will be moved or deleted at some point. If you choose this option, we encourage you to contact us. We may be able to archive a permanent copy of your data in the Libraries.
- If you use data from a public-access repository, you may be able to refer people to the original data rather than distribute it yourself. In this case, you should provide links to these data in any documentation and publications.
- If you cannot find an appropriate data repository or archive, contact the Program Officer for direction.
How soon will other researchers or the public have access to your data?
- The NIH "expects the timely release and sharing of data to be no later than the acceptance for publication of the main findings from the final dataset" (NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guidance). If you plan to release data on a different schedule, provide a justification.
If you will produce confidential or sensitive data, how will the measures you take to protect subjects affect data sharing?
If you are working under the terms of an IRB, how will they affect data sharing?
Are there any additional federal, institutional, professional, or sponsor regulations that will affect data sharing?
Are there any intellectual property issues, such as ownership, copyright, or potential commercialization, that will affect data sharing?
- For research products generated under an NIH award, all intellectual property developed by researchers and students and all intellectual property rights therein shall belong to the University unless an exception or waiver is granted. In many cases, this will not prevent you from sharing data and other materials with researchers or the general public, but conditions apply when your activities involve materials transfer, inventions, patents, royalties from inventions, third-party contracts, and other special circumstances. Contact the Office of Research Administration for guidance on your situation.
Will you have any special security provisions or data sharing agreements?
Will you release any analytic tools (e.g. software code) along with your data?
For how long will you (or a repository) preserve your data? This depends on wide variety of factors:
- The NIH instructs you to retain data for at least three years, but there may be additional instructions in the solicitation.
- UMD's retention policy for most research records is a minimum of seven years after the completion of research. Different terms apply to investigational new drugs and investigational devices (UMD Records Schedule, Item 84).
- If you conduct research under HIPAA regulations, you should plan to retain data for a minimum of six years.
- Data related to patents should be retained for the life of the patent.
- In addition, consider the potential value of your data in temporal terms: will the value increase, decrease, or remain constant over time? Social and environmental observations that cannot be recreated may increase in value.
If there are costs associated with data sharing, such as deposit fees at a repository, how will you cover them?
- You can request funds in your grant application (NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guide).
3.4. Re-use and re-distribution
For this topic, describe how intellectual property, licensing, or terms and conditions may affect re-use and re-distribution. This section is chiefly about terms and conditions of use.
Are there any intellectual property issues that will affect re-use and re-distribution?
- If your project uses data, software, or materials that belong to another individual, group, or institution, you must comply with any terms, conditions, permissions, licenses, or agreements specified by the data owner. Note any conditions that affect re-use.
- If you plan to submit your data to a repository or archive after your project is complete, you will have to comply with their policies and requirements for re-use and re-distribution. Note any conditions that affect re-use.
Will you make your data available with specific terms and conditions, licenses, or disclaimers?
- If there are no legal or contractual issues that will affect re-use or re-distribution, the simplest option is to refrain from adding any terms or conditions. However, you may wish to insist upon attribution, citation, or another form of credit whenever someone uses your data.

Homer: But it's glowing.Naturally Steve Mobs (Mapple founder and Chief Imaginative Officer) makes an appearance, but Bart hacks into his speech to the enrapt throng (who calls him "a god who knows what we want") as follows:
Mapple employee: Sir, that light confirms that it's off.
Mobs: Greetings, it is I, your insanely great leader, Steve Mobs. I am speaking to you from Mapple headquarters deep below the sea, with an announcement that will completely change the way you look at everything.
Crowd: Oh!
Mobs: And that announcement is ...
Bart as Mobs: You're all losers!
Crowd: Huh?
Bart as Mobs: You think you're cool because you buy a $500 phone with a picture of a fruit on it? Well, guess what, they costs 8 bucks to make and I pee on every one!
Crowd: Ew (throwing devices on floor).
Bart as Mobs: I have made a fortune off you chumps, and I've invested it all in Microsoft. Now my boyfriend, Bill Gates and I, kiss each other on a pile of your money!
Crowd: No!
Comic Book Guy: Traitor! Your heart is blacker than your turtleneck! (Throws a sledgehammer through the screen in an homage to the 1984 Macintosh ad. It also goes through the glass wall of the Mapple store. Security takes him down.)
Bart laughs.
Mapple Store Employee: Who dares question the boss we fired 10 years ago and then brought back?
Lisa: It's my brother, Bart!
Mapple Store Employee: Flay him with your earbuds, flay him I say!

I thought it was priceless. Fanboys everywhere cringed.
Just emailed this post to myself to watch later! I have always enjoyed the Simpsons, but I don't watch it very often.
(OT: I'm glad to see the Share button now has an email link!)
I thought it was pretty funny.
I'm no Apple fanboy, but I think it could have been even better if they had thrown in some easy shots at the other tech giants (MS, Google, etc.) too. There's so much low-hanging fruit there that it almost seemed like they had a specific beef with Apple that they wanted to work out.
I think that's mostly because Apple has the most fanatical fanboiz and fangirlz out there. Plus the Simpsons normally pick one company to attack at a time.
yeah, i saw it yesterday it was an amazing skit. when lisa goes to see steve jobs it should of been firewire! (the the doc should of been usb!, because old mac users got screwed over by usb only in new macbooks!)
+1 Insightful!
Sounds really funny (I'm a windows fan), although that episode hasn't aired here yet.
What a great episode, and thanks for the heads-up, News! HERE is the link if anyone needs it.

The EHF6241FOK is more advanced than a standard electric hob. All the zones heat up really quickly so you'll get your water boiling in no time. The heat zones vary in size too making them suited to a range of pans. There is a dual heat zone where you can choose just a small section of it for a small pan, or use all of it for extra flexibility.
The touch controls are at the front which is handy as you don't need to stretch over a steaming hot pan to change the settings. Touch controls make the hob really easy to clean as you don't have any dials or knobs to contend with.
With a ceramic surface, the hob is extremely easy to clean – it'll be back in pristine condition with one wipe of a cloth. All the zones have residual heat indicators to let you know when the zone is still hot. It's a great safety feature as you'll know not to touch the hob or place anything down on it. Plus, for extra safety you can lock the controls so that curious little fingers don't change the settings – great if you've got small children in the house.

Secretary Thomas Nelson (1716-1782), the younger of the two sons of Thomas ("Scotch Tom") Nelson who founded the family in Yorktown, became a noted colonial Virginian. Like his brother, William, he came to serve on the colonial Virginia Council for more than a quarter century prior to the Revolution. William became the Council's president (hence the appellation "President Nelson") and Thomas became the colony's secretary of state (thus the designation "Secretary Nelson"), a post he held for thirty-three years. [1] He was not destined to serve in any prominent capacity in the new state government; though his name was in nomination to be its first chief executive, he lost to Patrick Henry. Then he largely withdrew from public service being considered too much of an aging conservative. Some have doubted his patriotism, yet there are no grounds to consider him a Tory. Perhaps the Marquis de Chastellux was not far from the mark when he described the Secretary as "Too far advanced in age to desire a revolution, too prudent to check this great event, if necessary, and too faithful to his countrymen to separate his interest from theirs, he chose the crisis of this alteration, to retire from public affairs." [2] Besides, having inherited and amassed considerable property and wealth in Yorktown and in outlying counties, he could now more fully enjoy this as long as wartime conditions would allow. In Yorktown, or rather contiguous to its southeast boundary, he had built a substantial mansion and was in residence here when the British came to Yorktown in the late summer of 1781. It has been duly noted:
This was on October 10, the day that Secretary Nelson was permitted to come out from Yorktown under a flag of truce and "not restricted by a parole." The next day St. George Tucker dined with Nelson who gave him a report on the effectiveness of the allied bombardment. [4]
On October 18, with the cannon silent, many mounted the parapets to look around. Among them was St. George Tucker. From "the top of our Works" he, among other things, saw the Secretary Nelson mansion, reporting "the Secretary's house with one of the Corners broke off, & many large holes thro the Roof & Walls part of which seem'd tottering with their Weight afforded a striking Instance of the Destruction occasioned by War Many other houses in the vicinity contributed to accomplish the Scene." [6]
It was indeed an imposing mansion that Secretary Nelson built and enjoyed at Yorktown sometime after 1744 on land that had been recently given him by his father. [7] It was a substantial and roomy two-story dormered structure, with a double-hipped roof and four massive chimneys pointing skyward. [8] The house is said to have measured some 56 by 48 feet. [9] It was supported by a cluster of at least four dependencies and there were gardens extending riverward seemingly in the general form indicated below. [10]
The Secretary Nelson mansion and the quality of living that it supported was suggested by Marquis de Chastellux [11] who was with Rochambeau and the French army during the siege in l781: "He [Secretary Nelson] lived at York, where he had built a very handsome house, from which neither European taste nor luxury was excluded; a chimney-piece and some bass reliefs of very fine marble, exquisitely sculptured, were particularly admired. . . . [The house] was built on an eminence, near the most important fortifications, and in the most agreeable situation in town . . . it soon drew the attention of our bombardiers and cannoniers and was almost entirely destroyed." Chastellux continued: "Mr. Nelson lived in it at the time our batteries tried their first shot and killed one of his negroes at a little distance from him; so that Lord Cornwallis was soon obliged to seek another asylum."
Though in ruins, the Secretary Nelson House continued to be an impressive structure. Isaac Weld, who saw it in 1796, had this to report in commenting on the "evident marks of the siege": [12]
The Benjamin Latrobe color sketch of the Secretary Nelson House, made about 1796, confirms graphically the damage to the house done by the allied artillery during the siege. It was an impressive structure even when in ruins some fifteen years after the damage was inflicted. [13] A French traveler, the Duke de la Rochefoucauld-Liancount, also in 1796, found the mansion "pierced in every direction with cannon-shot and bomb-shells." He saw it as the chief monument of the memorable siege, adding that Yorktown "does not present any other object of curiosity." [14]
The old ruins of the house stood for a long time. Henry Howe noted prior to 1845 [15] that: "Cornwallis's head-quarters were originally in a splendid brick house, belonging to Secretary Nelson, the ruins of which are not visible in the large and continuous redoubt constructed by the British at the E. end of the town. He remained there until a servant was killed, and the building much injured by the American artillery, when he removed into the town."
In 1849 there was further reference to the ruins when another visitor to Yorktown, David Hunter Strother, [16] saw it: "In the village were the ruins of Gov. Nelson's house [17] and other houses still bearing the marks of cannon shot, the perforated walls unrepaired and the brick and mortar rubbish lying where it fell." Evidently Charles Campbell fell victim to the same mistaken identity for the Secretary Nelson House in 1837: "The house of Governor Nelson stood just within the British lines; it was riddled by the American shot. Nothing remains of it but some scattered brick bats." [18]
In due course the visible ruins would melt from view; however, the below ground foundations would remain to attract attention from time to time. They are still partly visible under concrete cap. Identifying and marking them became a special project of the Yorktown Branch of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, a project brought to fruition in 1933. [19]
