Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the NIH has established a new program entitled Research and Research Infrastructure "Grand Opportunities," hereafter called the "GO" grants program (RFA-OD-09-004). The purpose of the GO grants program is to support high-impact ideas that lend themselves to short-term, non-renewable funding, and may lay the foundation for new fields of investigation. Under the GO program, the NHGRI will support short-term, large-scale research projects that will accelerate critical breakthroughs, early and applied research on cutting-edge technologies, and new approaches to improve the synergy and interactions among multi and interdisciplinary research teams. The research supported by the "GO" grants program should have high short-term impact, and a high likelihood of enabling growth and investment in biomedical research and development, public health, and health care delivery.
This initiative is one of several being offered by NHGRI to help fulfill the goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to stimulate the economy through support of biomedical and behavioral research. Additional information about the Recovery Act and related NIH opportunities is available through the Office of Extramural Research at Grant Funding Opportunities Supported by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) [grants.nih.gov].
NHGRI will accept grant applications under the GO program that address any aspect of the Institute's mission. However, the following scientific areas are considered of particularly high interest by NHGRI to achieve the ARRA goals of creating or retaining jobs and accelerating the progress of genomic science. Requests that address the following areas will be given priority for funding (note that these are not listed in priority order; see below for additional information about each topic):
- Enhancing the ENCODE and modENCODE Projects
- Development and Application of Statistical and Computational Data Analysis Methods for DNA Sequence, Variation, GWAS, Genomic Function, Chemical Biology, and Related Genomic Data Sets
- Development of a Software Pipeline for Sequence Data for Quality Checking, Alignment and Variant-Calling
- Development of a Data Analysis and Coordination Center for Cancer Genomes
- Sequencing Technology Development
- Cellular Responses to Perturbations
- ARRA Medical Sequencing Discovery Projects
Applicants interested in submitting a proposal for a GO grant requesting $500,000 or more in direct costs in any year are required to submit a letter of intent and obtain the approval of the appropriate Program Director (identified below). Although not required, this is strongly encouraged for smaller applications as well. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Program Director early in their planning process.
The NHGRI intends to commit $20 million in each of FY 2009 and 2010 to fund up to 25 awards, contingent upon the submission of a sufficient number of scientifically meritorious applications and the availability of funds.
The aims of the ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) Project are to apply high-throughput, cost-efficient approaches to generate a catalog of functional elements in the human genome. A corresponding project, the model organism ENCODE (modENCODE) Project, has the same goal in the widely used model organisms, the fruit fly (D. melanogaster) and roundworm (C. elegans). The ENCODE and modENCODE efforts are organized as open consortia and each includes investigators with diverse backgrounds and expertise in the production and analysis of data (The ENCODE Project).
The value of these two research consortia could be greatly enhanced by efforts to increase the breadth, depth, quality, and utility of the data. Under the GO Program, NHGRI is particularly interested in proposals for projects that address the following issues:
a. Expansion of production efforts to create a more comprehensive and higher quality catalog of functional elements, by increasing the number of methods being used to identify sequence-based functional elements across the entire human, worm, or fly genomes. Proposed methods must identify new sets of functional elements that are not available from the experimental approaches currently being employed in these projects. Proposed methods must be able to be applied in an efficient, cost-effective, and high-throughput manner to the entire genome immediately so that significant progress can be made in the two years of funding.
b. Enhancement of the value of the human ENCODE Project by conducting a parallel effort on the mouse genome. Applicants are strongly encouraged to propose the generation of data from a limited set of mouse tissues, stem cells, and developmental stages that will allow a direct comparison to the existing human data to allow comparative analysis and to aid in the evaluation of the quality of the human ENCODE data. Proposed methods to identify functional elements in the mouse genome must be able to be applied in an efficient, cost-effective, and high-throughput manner to the entire mouse genome immediately so that significant progress can be made in the two years of funding, Proposals to study functional elements in mouse are limited to $750,000 total costs per year.
c. Expansion of efforts to experimentally validate the biological function of the elements that have been defined biochemically in ENCODE or modENCODE using high-throughput approaches. Proposals for biological validation are limited to functional elements currently being defined by the ENCODE/modENCODE Projects; applicants must describe how they will interact with the appropriate Consortium to identify elements for validation and to report back on results.
d. Adaptation and testing of new high-throughput methods for tagging proteins of interest for the ENCODE/modENCODE Projects, with the objective of allowing the replacement of protein-specific antibodies in order to accelerate the speed and significantly reduce the costs of individual projects. The proposed tagging approach must be able to generate data of the same quality as those that can be obtained using protein-specific antibodies, and should allow the detection of a wide range of types of proteins including different families of DNA-binding, RNA-binding, and chromosomal proteins.
e. Development and implementation of a modENCODE Data Analysis Center (DAC) to support, facilitate, and enhance integrative analyses of the data from the modENCODE Project. The DAC is intended to work with the members of the modENCODE Consortium to coordinate the activities of the individual informatics groups of the Consortium members and the modENCODE Data Coordination Center (DCC); to work with the modENCODE Analysis Working Group to identify integrative analyses that should be carried out with the modENCODE data; to perform all necessary data transformations and analyses with modENCODE data; and to provide the final modENCODE integrative analysis data sets to the broad scientific community. These activities will enhance the modENCODE Consortium's ability to provide a valuable final product for the larger biomedical research community's use in studying functional sequence elements in the C. elegans and D. melanogaster genomes. Proposals for the modENCODE DAC are limited to $1,250,000 total costs per year.
The P.I.s of funded awards will be expected to apply for membership in either the ENCODE or modENCODE Consortium, as appropriate. These projects have been designated as "community resource projects", as defined by a meeting on data release held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in January 2003 (Sharing Data from Large-scale Biological Research Projects: A System of Tripartite Responsibility). Each P.I. will be expected to make any data and resultant analyses freely available to the scientific community in a timely manner and in accordance with the ENCODE/modENCODE data release policy (See: ENCODE-modENCODE Consortia Data Release Policy). Timeliness is particularly important because NHGRI anticipates that there will be considerable interest from the research community in accessing these data.

New technologies are producing extremely large DNA sequence, genetic variation, and genomic function datasets. By combining these with additional genomic, phenotypic, and environmental data, investigators will be able to address broader and more complex biomedical questions than they currently can. However, to take advantage of these opportunities, new statistical and computational methods are needed to process, analyze, integrate and interpret vast amounts of data of different types.
NHGRI is highly interested in proposals to develop new analytical methods and software for processing and using DNA sequence and genotype data, and for using these data in combination with datasets of epigenomic, expression, proteomic, other genomic, phenotypic, and environmental information. In addition, proposals may aim to apply the methods being developed to analyze large datasets of relevance to the NHGRI's mission. Applicants are strongly encouraged to make the methods and software freely available to the entire scientific community.
The methods may be developed for use with data from humans, model organisms, or other organisms, as appropriate for NHGRI programmatic interests. Applicants are encouraged to develop and evaluate the methods using broadly available datasets relevant to NHGRI interests from public databases, such as those in the Short Read Archive, dbSNP, dbGaP, GEO and PubChem.
Appropriate topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
a. Methods for processing raw sequence data: Methods need to be improved to calibrate error rates and assess the quality of sequence reads, their assembly into complete de novo genomes or in complex regions, the alignment of resequencing data to reference sequences, the calling of SNPs and structural variants, the identification of somatic mutations, and the quantification and characterization of RNA transcripts. Specific methods are needed for complex or repetitive regions of the genome and for highly rearranged genomes such as in tumors.
b. Methods for processing genotype data: Methods need to be improved to call genotypes for SNPs and structural variants, to correct for subtle biases in typing, to combine data across samples, to impute untyped variants based on other genotype data, and to integrate genotype, array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) and sequence variation data.
c. Methods for comparative genomic analysis: Methods need to be improved to compare the genomes of multiple species, and to use comparative genomic data to find functional genomic elements and to study genome organization.
d. Methods for sequence analysis of metagenomic samples: Methods need to be improved to assemble the genomic or partial genomic sequences in mixed samples from individual people to compare the composition of microbial communities across time, body sites, individuals, and disease states, and to make inferences about community composition, processes, and function. Applicants may propose to start to develop the methods using data obtained from non-human samples if the appropriate data obtained from human samples are not available initially, but should transfer the development to data obtained human samples during the two-year award period.
e. Methods for population genetic analysis: Methods need to be developed to elucidate population processes using the large amount of individual variation data across the genome and in genomic regions. These may include estimating mutation and recombination rates, detecting natural selection, and inferring population history, structure and organization.
f. Methods for analysis of genome-wide association (GWA) studies: Methods need to be improved to relate genetic variation and environmental exposures to phenotypes in studies of diseases and other traits. These include analyses of haplotypes and multiple markers, quantitative as well as qualitative traits, multiple covariates, longitudinal phenotypes and age interactions, family linkage data, heritability estimation, multiple population groups and admixed groups, and meta-analysis, as well as prediction models based on single genes and gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Because GWA studies identify chromosome regions associated with a disease or trait but not the specific variants that causally contribute to the disease risk or phenotype, methods need to be improved to design and analyze follow-up sequencing and genotyping studies to further localize the sets of variants that will require functional studies to identify the causal variants, such as methods to detect an excess of rare variants.
g. Methods for integration with functional genomic datasets: Methods need to be developed to integrate sequence and variation data with expression, epigenetic, proteomic, and related genomic datasets, as well as with phenotype and environmental data; to use these data to map the variants that affect these processes; and to provide insight into which genes and variants affect basic biological processes or causally contribute to disease risk or other traits and how they do so.
h. Methods for dealing with statistical issues: Methods need to be improved to design studies and assess the statistical significance of findings. Sampling issues, artifacts of data production, and genomic and population properties such as linkage disequilibrium, need to be taken into account.
i. Methods for analysis of small molecule chemical biology data: Methods need to be improved to analyze small molecule chemical biology data, including integrating multiple assay results for high and low-throughput screening data, especially for difficult assays (multiplexed, phenotypic, or protein-protein interactions). Controlled vocabulary development is needed, and could focus on a few assay types (e.g., high-content screening, ion channel, or reporter gene assays). Applicants should provide details on building required partnerships with the chemical biology community. Approaches could include incorporating results from public domain high or low throughput assays and leveraging pathway, structure, and activity data from publications and patents. Tools developed should be chemist- and biologist-friendly to enable building structure-activity relationships and should enable prioritization of medicinal chemistry plans.
j. Software development, maintenance, and evaluation: Robust software that is easy to use and widely available is needed to allow the wider biomedical research community to take maximum advantage of the data that are now rapidly being deposited into public databases by community resource projects and other data-generation efforts. Applicants are encouraged to aim to write robust, modular software for the methods proposed for development or for existing methods for which such robust software is not available. The proposal should include plans to develop good documentation, with example datasets. Since this FOA is for only two years, software must be released in a manner that allows access by the community even after the project period of the awards. Also see "Software Dissemination Plans" below.
In all cases, funding will be provided for methods and software development and their application (if included in the proposal), but not for additional sequencing or genotyping, other experimental data collection or validation, or sample collection. Analysis of datasets without methods development will not be supported. Proposals are limited to $500,000 direct costs per year for two years.

New platforms for sequencing have vastly increased sequence data production. In the next two years, sequencing centers are expected to deposit at least 200 Terabases of human sequence data into public repositories such as the Short Read Archive (SRA) at the NIH National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). This large amount of data must be processed through a software analysis pipeline to extract the information needed by the broad research community to address many important biomedical problems. Currently, such data processing steps for various large-scale resequencing projects are being done piecemeal. A standard modular pipeline needs to be developed and passed to NCBI for implementation, to assess data quality and call variants. Such a centrally implemented pipeline would allow data from all the sequencing centers and from all sequencing platforms to be dealt with in a uniform manner.
NHGRI is very interested in proposals to develop such a standard software pipeline and to work with NCBI to implement the pipeline. Components of the pipeline should include taking in data from the Short-Read Archive, identifying any problems with the data that need to be resolved with submitters, aligning the data with the human reference sequence, re-calibrating error rates, estimating error rates, and calling SNPs and structural variants in each sample (for tumor genomes, somatic variants should be identified as well as germline variants). Applicants should address all sequencing platforms that are currently in production use and generating public data. The proposed methods and formats should be standard ones in the field, as defined by the 1000 Genomes Project, TSP, and similar projects. The software produced should be broadly available; see the section on Software Dissemination Plans, below.
Proposals are limited to $1 million total costs per year for two years.

The NHGRI funds large-scale genome sequencing capacity at three Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs) located in the U.S. (See: The NHGRI Genome Sequencing Program (GSP)). This program undertakes projects to provide critical genomic information that can be of significant value to the scientific community in areas of broad scientific interest. The Cancer Genome Atlas is a project within this program that catalog genetic alterations in tumor genomes. Recently, new sequencing platforms for high throughput sequencing (next-gen sequencers) have dramatically increased sequence data production at a corresponding reduction in cost, such that it is now possible to consider sequencing many tumor genomes for these projects. In the next two years, a combination of whole genome, gene-targeted, and transcriptome sequencing will generate a total output of >25 Terabases of sequence for these cancer genome projects that will be deposited into public repositories such as the Short Read Archive (SRA) at the NIH National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
NHGRI is interested in proposals to develop a cancer genome Data Analysis and Coordination Center (DACC). The DACC will be expected to:
a. collaborate with the funded Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs) to establish a working environment for analysis of cancer genome sequence data;
b. interact with the funded GSCs along with other members of the TSP and TCGA projects;
c. track raw data submitted to public data repositories and store processed cancer data as necessary;
d. help define quality assurance methods and ensure that data from the GSCs meets those standards;
e. establish informatics pipelines for the analysis of next-gen sequence data to identify transcriptome alterations and potential tumor-specific splicing variants in tumors;
f. evaluate new analysis methods that become available from the GSCs or other researchers to improve on components of the informatics pipeline;
g. organize data analysis workshops that will bring together the GSCs and experts in data analysis for face-to-face interactions needed to promote better data analysis;h. plan and implement regular conference calls with the GSCs and other members of the TSP and TCGA projects to coordinate analyses of the cancer genome data;
i. interact with the TCGA Data Coordination Center (DCC) and other informatics resources to disseminate results;
j. in collaboration with GSCs, perform analyses to compare different methods for the analysis of cancer genome data;
Applicants should describe a broad plan for how the DACC will accomplish the goal of facilitating the NIH's cancer genome analysis programs, including how the specific activities listed above will be accomplished. The DACC should use robust, modular, and flexible data management and retrieval tools capable of handling all of the cancer genome data that will be stored. Where possible, the DACC should use existing software. The utilization and, where appropriate, extension or creation of new open source software is encouraged. The DACC is expected to be able to work with the GSCs to establish the exact data types and formats that will be transferred to the DACC along with developing procedures to check and track the quality of incoming data.

In 2008, the accelerating rate and dramatic decrease in cost of DNA sequencing produced stunning insights into cancer genes and pathways, and hominid and mammalian variation and origins. This was enabled largely by technologies that supersede those used for the initial human genome project. The potential to achieve advances such as these were envisioned when, in 2004, NHGRI launched an ambitious program to rapidly reduce sequencing costs, initially from about $10M per genome to $100,000, and subsequently to $1,000. New sequencing technologies currently permeating biomedical research labs produce orders of magnitude more data much more quickly and at a fraction of the cost, and continue to undergo rapid improvements. The goal of full human genome sequencing for $100,000 is likely to be achieved this year, meeting the original schedule. Importantly, these same technologies can also be used for other genomic analyses such as transcriptome, transcriptional regulatory site, and small RNA studies.
As powerful as they are, these technologies have shortcomings. The read length and quality are not as good as those of the previous (Sanger/capillary) generation technology. They also remain too expensive to apply to whole genome sequencing of large numbers of samples, so for many studies (e.g., of large numbers of tumors, or in their emerging use in genome-wide association studies) only a fraction of the genome (e.g., exons) is analyzed. However, we now know that non-exonic and non-protein coding regions, and longer-range copy number and genomic structural variation, play important roles in complex disease.
A subsequent generation of technologies is emerging, fueled by the convergence of expertise and capabilities from fields as diverse as nanoscience, optical and electronic sensors, biochemical engineering and high throughput data processing. These technologies offer the potential of producing (1) additional orders of magnitude of cost reduction to $1,000, so that whole-genome sequencing for very large numbers of samples would be realistic, and (2) long continuous sequence reads to greatly simplify the downstream bioinformatics to analyze genome sequence in the context of structural and copy number variation. Similar to the second generation technologies, these methods also promise utility for transcriptome and other sequence-related analyses, potentially including the direct determination of epigenomic marks on the genome.
Breakthroughs in understanding the underlying science and implementing it as robust technology are on the horizon. NHGRI seeks projects that, in two years, would demonstrate (1) feasibility of novel sequencing concepts or (2) how to achieve substantial (a) decrease in sequencing cost with increases in (b) readlength and (c) data quality.
Proposals are limited to $1,500,000 total costs per year for two years.

A sufficiently large catalog of cellular responses to perturbations would enable the discovery of novel biological relationships between perturbagens, genes, and cellular states. These relationships would provide insight into several significant areas of research including drug discovery and systems biology.
NHGRI seeks proposals for high-throughput data generation and integrative computational analysis of cellular signatures generated in response to a diverse set of perturbing agents, such as small molecules and siRNA. Recognizing the two-year time span for ARRA funding, the purpose of this initiative is to provide the basis for NHGRI to assess the feasibility and value of such approaches for obtaining important insight into human biology and etiology of disease, as well as to establish optimal methods to conduct such studies (selection of perturbation agents, cell lines, experimental and computational approaches). Proposals leveraging other community resource projects such as Molecular Libraries, GTEx, or ENCODE to enhance systematic searches for novel biological relationships would be particularly welcome. The proposals should address the range of activities needed to establish this activity, including developing an efficient data production pipeline, creating standardized approaches to experimental design, sharing of data and protocols, integrating analytical methods, assessing data quality, validating high-throughput findings, and developing standard database structures and end user interfaces.
NHGRI is open to a broad range of specific applications (drug discovery; benchmarking effects of novel compounds, disease models); cell types; perturbagens (small molecules, RNAi, genetic variation), and signatures (transcriptional, proteomic, cell phenotype, etc.) as long as the approach can be justified in terms of providing both direct and general insight into the feasibility and utility of a large catalog of cellular signatures.
Proposals are limited to $1 million total costs per year for two years.

The NHGRI encourages proposals for moderate-scale (each $1-2 million total costs per year), integrated research projects that will bring next-generation sequencing technology to bear on high-impact human genetic disease research. NHGRI will provide two years of support through the GO grant program for this purpose.
This initiative seeks highly creative research applications from groups that propose to form an integrated team of human geneticists, experts who have experience with next-generation sequencing technologies, and analysts who can bring bioinformatics tools to bear on interpreting the complex and large data sets from next-generation sequencing to address a significant, specific question (or set of closely related questions) about the genetic underpinnings of a human disease or medically relevant human trait.
Because ARRA Medical Sequencing Discovery Projects will focus on the use of next-generation sequencing methods to address a specific biomedical question, the genetic analysis of the disease or trait to be studied must be sufficiently advanced that sequencing is the next critical step to identifying and understanding the genetic susceptibility or cause of the disease or trait. The proposed project must be sufficiently well-defined that significant progress can be made with two-year, ARRA funds; for this reason, the ARRA Discovery Project program will not support new sequencing groups or infrastructure for the long term. Rather, this program is intended to encourage rapid progress in medical genetics/genomics, to disperse knowledge about how to do sequencing projects, and to nucleate creative integrated research teams applying cutting-edge genomic sequencing to medical genetics discovery.
Background: NHGRI has funded large-scale genomic sequencing centers since the time it first undertook the sequencing of the entire human genome and the genomes of many model organisms. NHGRI continues to support this model of funding to pursue those genomics-based projects that require a scale not possible in smaller laboratories, and the NHGRI-supported large-scale centers are using "next-generation" sequencing technologies to focus on projects that require ever-larger sequence data sets (e.g., large population studies). At the same time, however, these technologies are making cost-efficient sequencing possible on a significant but lower scale by smaller, well-integrated research groups organized to address specific biomedical questions. Therefore, this ARRA initiative is specifically intended to encourage such efforts.
This initiative is based on several points that were raised by attendees of a March 23-24, 2009 NHGRI planning workshop on "The Future of Large-scale Genomic Sequencing":
Guidance for Applicants: It is expected that the applications will include information regarding the following:
NHGRI seeks to fund as many ARRA Medical Sequencing Discovery Projects as possible within the available funds. Therefore, an important review criterion will be the efficiency and creativity with which the applicant has proposed to use the funds towards addressing the scientific problem that motivates the application. While groups may request up to $2 million, funding of projects requesting the full amount will be the exception because NHGRI's priority is to maximize the number of projects funded.
The type of biomedical genetics studies to be addressed by applicants has not been specified here, to encourage submission of a full range of topics. NHGRI recognizes that the overall budget and two-year funding period may limit the questions that can be addressed. However, creative project choice and design, plus rapidly falling sequencing costs, should allow for a range of effective responses to this solicitation.
Because one of the intents of this initiative is to disperse knowledge of, and use of, significant sequencing capacity, NHGRI will not consider applications from existing large-scale sequencing centers (e.g., ones now receiving funding of $10M/year or more from all sources) to be responsive. In making funding decisions, the goal of dispersal of expertise will be considered along with other factors such as the significance of the problem chosen, the creativity of approach, and the research plan.
As the objective of this program is to use ARRA funds to support projects that can be completed within two years, applications for renewals of these awards will not, as a rule, be accepted by NHGRI. The ARRA Discovery Center projects should be designed so that future studies would be appropriate for support by the relevant categorical disease institute and not by NHGRI.
Because of the potentially complex nature of these projects, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their ideas with NHGRI program staff prior to submission. Prospective applicants are also strongly encouraged to submit a letter of intent to allow NHGRI staff to estimate the potential review workload and plan the review.
NHGRI expects that there will be substantial interest in this opportunity. Among the applications that receive superior review priority scores, NHGRI will give funding priority to cases in which co-funding for the sequencing is available; however, a commitment for an additional funding source is not a requirement for application.

Software Dissemination Plans: For NHGRI, applications that propose to develop software must include a dissemination plan, with appropriate timelines. This should be included in a separate heading in the Research Design and Methods section. There is no prescribed single license for software produced through grants supported through this FOA, although open-source software sharing is strongly encouraged. NHGRI has goals for software dissemination, and reviewers will be instructed to evaluate the dissemination plan relative to these goals:
a. The software, including the source code, should be freely available to the broad research community.
b. The terms of software availability should permit the dissemination and commercialization of enhanced or customized versions of the software, and incorporation of the software or pieces of it into other software packages.
c. To preserve utility to the community, the software should be transferable so that another group could continue development if the original investigators were unwilling or unable to do so.
d. The terms of software availability should allow researchers to modify the source code and to share modifications with other colleagues. An awardee should be responsible for creating the original and subsequent "official" versions of a piece of software.
e. To further enhance the potential impact of their software, applicants may consider proposing a plan to manage and disseminate the improvements or customizations of their tools and resources by others. This proposal may include a plan to incorporate the enhancements into the "official" core software, may involve the creation of an infrastructure for plug-ins, or may describe some other solution.

California has some of the most richly diverse natural environments in the United States - ocean, seashore, foothills, mountains, forests, and deserts. The spectrum of flora, fauna, geology and geography make the state an ideal field study laboratory for students, faculty, and researchers to enhance their educational experience.
Campuses of the California State University have taken advantage of the state's natural resources by developing numerous outdoor education laboratories and research facilities to augment on-campus instruction. Many of these facilities are operated in cooperation with other organizations such as the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the Nature Conservancy. These sites serve as an educational role as well as preserve important ecological areas.
Many sites offer residential accommodations and extensive on-site laboratories, while other sites are simply nature at its best, with few or no man-made structures. These sites lend themselves to numerous disciplines - anthropology, agriculture, marine science, biology, chemistry, geography, geology, natural resource management, art, photography, education and more.

Melvin Steals doesn�t remember if he called �heads� or �tails.� All he knows is that the coin flipped in his favor, sparking a series of events that would lead to a timeless song.
That song � The Spinners� �Could It Be I�m Falling in Love� � landed on the Billboard charts 40 years ago today, beginning a climb that would lead beyond gold-certified status to nearly 4 million radio spins.
That�s meant sizable royalty payments for the two men who wrote the song, Aliquippa-raised twins Melvin and Mervin Steals.
�It put my three kids through college and me through graduate school,� said Melvin, who based the lyrics on memories of courting the love of his life, Adrena, to whom he�s been married for 44 years.
They met at age 16 as 11th-graders. Adrena attended Pittsburgh�s Westinghouse High School, a football rival at the time for Aliquippa.
Tagging along with friends on an adventure to meet Pittsburgh girls, the two Steals brothers somehow found themselves at Adrena�s doorstep. They flipped a coin to see which one got to stay in hopes of wooing her.
�Some guys have all the luck,� recalls a smiling Melvin, who won the coin toss. �It was like I had met an angel.�
Fast-forward six years to the Philadelphia studios of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, songwriters and producer extraordinaires of dozens of hit songs by the likes of The O�Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and Billy Paul (�Me and Mrs. Jones�). The future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees conducted weekly auditions for aspiring songwriters. On one particular Saturday, two financially strapped 22-year-old Beaver County twins walked through the door.
They were lucky the meeting happened, recalled Mervin, who now lives in the Poconos.
�When we got off the subway in Philly we looked like two derelicts,� Mervin said. �A policeman followed us all the way to Gamble and Huff�s office. I think he thought we were going to rob somebody.�
Grungy or not, the Steals� impressed Gamble and Huff, who put them to work writing songs for Archie Bell & the Drells who had just topped the charts with �Tighten Up.� Melvin was the wordsmith; Mervin crafted the melodies on piano. The Steals� wrote a few album cuts for Bell & the Drells before taking on their second assignment � a new R&B group from the Ellwood City area called the Jaggerz.
The Steals� contributed �Gotta Find My Way Back Home� and �Forever Together � Together Forever� to the Jaggerz� 1969 debut on Gamble Records.
�We called them the Rich Jaggerz, because they had money,� joked Melvin, who drove to Philadelphia with Jaggerz� guitarist, Benny Faiella for one recording session.
The Jaggerz� debut disc paved the way for the band�s 1970 follow-up, on Kama Sutra Records, which produced the Billboard No. 2 hit �The Rapper.�
Gamble and Huff released the Steals� from their contract, believing the brothers had run out of fresh material.
But on a scouting tour to a Pittsburgh studio, Gamble and Huff associate Thom Bell heard a batch of seven songs by the Steals� that he liked, and agreed to find artists to record them.
One of those songs �Honey Bee� became a successful single for future disco star Gloria Gaynor.
Another of those songs, �Could It Be I�m Falling in Love,� would be pitched to Peaches & Herb, who rejected it. The Steals� then hoped to shop it to Marvin Gaye and his protege Tammi Terrell, who the brothers had befriended, but the Motown hierarchy made it tricky for two little-known songwriters to formally submit such a song.
Atlantic Records had hired Bell as a producer and gave him a list of artists he could work with, including The Spinners, who needed a follow-up hit to their Top-20, Stevie Wonder-penned �It�s a Shame.� Meeting with The Spinners in Detroit, Bell offered �Could It Be I�m Falling in Love,� which the band agreed to record.
But the song needed tweaked.
Melvin originally penned the lyrics as a duet. The Spinners needed lyrics from a singular point of view. So Melvin went back to the drawing board, crafting lyrical lines inspired by his experiences years earlier courting Adrena.
Bell also came up with the idea to slow down the melody, giving it more of an Al Green feel.
The final version of the Steals� song was recorded by The Spinners in 1972, and early the following year would top the Billboard R&B chart and reach No. 4 on the Top-40. It earned the brothers a gold record. Melvin�s hangs his on the wall of his Economy home.
Many artists have covered �Could It Be I�m Falling in Love� (Melvin favors Donny Osmond�s version); and the song has appeared in TV shows and films (Mervin�s favorite is the Queen Latifah movie �Beauty Shop.�)
The Steals� still earn royalty checks from �Could It Be I�m Falling in Love� as well as 25 other songs they�ve written, including The Trammps� �Trusting Heart� that appears in a new compilation of Philadelphia Sound songs that�s selling well in the U.K.
Realizing the odds are stacked against making a steady living as a songwriter. Mervin settled down in New Jersey and became a carpenter; Melvin taught for 25 years in the Aliquippa, Freedom and Quaker Valley school districts, then served as a principal for 11 more at Quaker Valley, Aliquippa and Seneca Valley schools.
Though music has remained a passion, with the Steals� recently getting involved as producers for artists like R&B singer Darryl Grant, and Pittsburgh gospel singer Damarra Chanel who has a song on Sirius-XM radio.
Their crowning musical achievement came 40 years ago. And as long as there are oldies stations, �Could It Be I�m Falling in Love� will always find an audience and elicit sing-alongs and smiles. Especially for the two guys who wrote it.
�Hearing it always brings back a lot of pleasant memories,� Melvin said.

Spurs dominate 2nd half, take 3-2 series lead over Warriors
San Antonio, TX – San Antonio stifled the Splash Brothers and Tony Parker carried the load for the Spurs in a dominant second half.
Parker tallied 16 of his 25 points in the second half and added 10 assists in the Spurs' 109-91 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of this Western Conference semifinal.
Parker was 9-of-16 from the field for San Antonio, which can advance to the Western Conference finals for the eighth time in 15 years with a win in Oakland on Thursday.
The Spurs outscored Golden State 55-40 over the final 24 minutes, when San Antonio recorded 18 points off 11 Warriors turnovers.
"Careless with the basketball," Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said of the second half. "We got out of character on both sides of the ball."
Kawhi Leonard registered 17 points and seven rebounds, Danny Green netted 16 points and Tim Duncan added 14 points and 11 boards in the triumph.
The Spurs recorded 30 assists on 40 made field goals.
"We made shots, the ball movement was good," Parker said. "So hopefully we can do the same thing in Golden State. That's a big key for us ... We have to play Spurs basketball and move their defense."
The potent backcourt duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were limited to a combined 13 points on 6-of-22 shooting for Golden State, which got 25 points and seven rebounds from Harrison Barnes.
Curry, who had been averaging 26 points per game through the first four games of this set, had nine points. He was 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. Thompson poured in just four points and had been averaging 20 in the series.
Jarrett Jack netted 20 points off the bench in defeat.
The Warriors trailed 54-51 at the break and got within 60-58 after Carl Landry hit a jumper with 9:05 left in the third. San Antonio, though, countered with an 11-2 run to seize control of the tilt.
Green nailed a 3-pointer and after Parker stole the ball from Jack, he fed Green for a two-handed dunk on the fastbreak to cap the surge and up the advantage to 71-60 midway through the frame.
San Antonio took an 83-72 cushion into the fourth, and after Golden State whittled the deficit to 90-82 following a 6-0 spurt with 7:19 to go, the Spurs responded with a 12-2 swing to put the game away.
Parker converted back-to-back buckets before Manu Ginobili capped the burst with a right wing trey to vault San Antonio to a 102-84 margin with 4:04 left.
Earlier, the Warriors held a 15-12 lead midway through the opening frame before the Spurs retaliated as Parker scored six points during a 15-0 run, which Ginobili capped with a three to give the hosts a 27-15 cushion.
San Antonio took a 37-28 advantage into the second, but Golden State charged back into the game after starting the stanza on a 14-7 flurry to get within 44-42.
Game Notes
San Antonio shot 52.6 percent (20-of-38) in the second half ... Ginobili had 10 points off the bench ... Golden State held a 16-9 edge in second-chance points.

An ancient place to wonder about our survival
I'll never forget losing two clients somewhere in the 164,000-acre Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in southern Colorado. On a glorious May morning, the two friends walked too fast ahead of the group I was leading for the Smithsonian Associates Program. The couple disappeared, and the other members of the tour were worried.
Anxiously, they asked, "Will you find them?" I explained that Canyons of the Ancients was a new BLM national monument proclaimed by President Bill Clinton. He'd set it aside because it has the highest known density of archaeological sites in the nation in a rugged landscape that "offers an unparalleled opportunity to observe, study and experience how cultures lived and adapted over time in the American Southwest." That was all well and good, but folks on the tour wanted to know if I'd find their two friends.
"Sure," I said, and pointed to the sky where four turkey buzzards slowly circled. "We'll find them, but I can't say when."
We found the strays in about 10 minutes, and after that the group stayed close to me. Canyons of the Ancients seems to inspire people to roam. It's a stunning setting with its multi-colored sandstone layers, hidden small cliff dwellings and the palpable presence of a missing people now called Ancestral Puebloans.
Unlike Mesa Verde National Park, which attracts 600,000 yearly visitors, Canyons of the Ancients hosts only 45,000 annual visitors in its vast outdoor museum with no asphalt paths, interpretive signs or excessive rules. Potsherds and arrowhead flakes remain in place. I've encountered visitors on foot, on horseback, and on mountain bikes, often with canine companions. I've dubbed one extremely remote ruin the "invisible ruin" because it can only be seen with binoculars in very special light. And that's what the Canyons are all about—exploration, discovery, and understanding the prehistoric past slowly as awareness of the landscape increases in different weather and light.
It's a fairly pristine desert landscape. When former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt recommended national monument status for the area to President Clinton, he said, "this landscape offers us a chance to study an entire culture, one that may have been as rich and diverse as the one we have today." He argued that archaeological sites should not just be protected individually, "but rather as part of a landscape or 'anthropological ecosystem.'" He said, "The real science on these landscapes doesn't come out of digging out a room and extracting a few pots. The real discoveries today come from asking the deeper question of 'How did communities live in spiritual and physical equilibrium with the landscape?'"
That's a question we'd still love to answer. But here's the rub: Over 85 percent of Canyons of the Ancients National Monument is leased for oil, gas, and CO2 exploration, and revenues from those fluid minerals are a vital part of the budget of Colorado's Montezuma County. The Anasazi chose a beautiful place to live and farm, but it happens to lie atop the largest carbon dioxide dome in the world. Ironically, even though CO2 is the chief culprit causing global warming, corporations drill for it because the gas is pumped deep into the earth to force the last drop out of aging oil wells.
In the last half-century, 190 wells have been drilled within the monument's boundaries, but future plans may call for as many as 1,000 new wells. All will bring accompanying roads and inevitable damage to archaeological sites. In Canyons of the Ancients, America's prehistoric past and its energy future are about to collide.
There's no doubt that the monument represents world-class resources, yet federal land managers and the public need to think about drilling impacts into the next century -- and beyond -- as the American appetite for energy increases. It is to be hoped that Canyons of the Ancients and the Bureau of Land Management will help re-define the protection of archaeological resources on a landscape-level in the 21st century.
We have a lot to learn from the Ancestral Puebloans. Estimates are that there were more of them living in what is now Montezuma County in the year 1200, than there are residents living there now. And they somehow survived in the arid Southwest for 800 years.
Given our heavy water usage and demand for energy, how many centuries will we be able to survive and thrive?Andy Gulliford is a contributor to Writers on the Range, a service of High Country News (hcn.org).

Meeting the demand for financial literacy
- August 19, 2012
- |
Virginia students now are required to take a one-credit course in economics and personal finance for high school graduation.
The 30-something young lady came to my office for a brief lesson on investing. My first question: Do you know what a CD is? And not that little round disc that you put in a player. She shook her head.
A lot of the students in my accounting class have never written a check. Forget reconciling a bank account. The bank balance on the receipt is correct, right?
Another client wanted to buy a house. She couldn't figure out how people ever came up with the money. A mortgage? She had never heard of it.
And we expect everyone to save for their own retirement, use credit wisely and manage their money. How do we get there from here?
Fortunately for Virginia students now are required to take a one-credit course in economics and personal finance for high school graduation. The requirement became effective for those entering ninth grade last fall.
It was a long time coming. The Virginia Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy was established in April 2005 as an affiliate of the national organization. Among its more than 120 members are credit unions, government agencies, nonprofits, financial planning groups and educational institutions. Leading the effort to create the group was the Virginia Society of CPAs (VSCPA), of which I am a member.
The VSCPA has been pressing the issue of financial literacy since 2004. In 2005, the General Assembly approved a bill to require instruction in the topic. In 2008, Chesapeake Del. Lionell Spruill Sr. introduced legislation to make the course a graduation requirement, but the bill failed to make it out of committee. The Virginia Board of Education (VBOE) did what the legislature would not. In February 2009, it revised its Standards of Accreditation, making the course a graduation requirement. Then-Gov. Tim Kaine approved the regulatory changes.
Initially, the requirement was to take effect in the 2010–2011 school year but legislation in the 2010 General Assembly session delayed its implementation one year. Attempts to delay it again during the 2011 legislative session were met with an outcry from the Coalition and members of the VSCPA. It helped that Gov. Bob McDonnell expressed his support for the requirement as well. He signed a bill in March 2011, thereby protecting this important course.
The elements included in the Standards of Learning (SOL) for Economics and Personal Finance are comprehensive. In addition to basic economic concepts of supply and demand, it covers such things as consumer skills, like comparison shopping; planning for living and leisure, such as buying a home; and banking transactions, such as reconciling bank statements; and credit. Also included is information on the role of government and the global economy. The entire SOL can be viewed on the VBOE website.
The VBOE has developed free resources for school boards to use in implementing this requirement, including an online course. Resources are also provided to help teachers prepare to cover all of the topics. At this time, there is no plan to have an SOL test on economics and personal finance.
In 2011, the VSCPA teamed up with the Virginia Council on Economic Education (VCEE) to offer a course for educators tasked with teaching students the required material. Called Personal Finance Institute, the course is designed for teachers who want to deepen their knowledge of personal finance topics including banking, credit, consumer rights and responsibilities, insurance, taxes and financial planning.
VSCPA members volunteered to teach the course. One instructor, Ryan Losi, CPA said that because finances touch every aspect of our world — from paying for college to budgeting for insurance and a home — leaving money management out of public education is really doing a disservice to our children.
Teachers who participated in the Personal Finance Institute agree. While some were hesitant at first, they said digging in not only influenced how they would approach students but also their own personal finances.
"Many beliefs I held were challenged; others were validated," said one teacher from Fairfax County.
Another teacher from Portsmouth stated she knew the graduation requirement would help the younger generation to avoid financial mistakes and benefit the economy in the future. Similarly, a Prince George County teacher stated, "Children are the best investments for the future. Not investing in our future leaves us all in a state of despair with no hope for the future."
Virginia §22.1–200.03 cites as its goal of economic education and financial literacy to "further the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for responsible citizenship in a constitutional democracy." It is a laudable goal — and one I am glad they have added.
Vivian Paige, MBA, CPA, CGMA, is the president of Vivian J. Paige, CPA, PC, an accounting firm she established in Norfolk in 1986. In addition, she is an instructor of accounting at Old Dominion University, where she earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Vandebilt High School's Division II cheerleading squad placed first in three different competitions this year.
Vandebilt High School's cheerleading competition team won big in its division at state competitions this year.
The 20-member Division II cheerleading squad, led by cheer captain and Vandebilt senior Elizabeth Bown, placed first in three different competitions this year.
The team won in the high school and grand champion division at the Mardi Gras Nationals in New Orleans. It also won the Southwestern Cheerleading Association National Cheer Competition in Baton Rouge and the NFL Super Bowl Cheer and Dance Competition in New Orleans.
"Our team this year has a lot of talent," said Kayla Vicknair, Vandebilt competition cheerleading coach. "We have really good girls, and I think if we went to nationals they would have done well."
Vandebilt's competition cheerleading team only attends the national competition in Disney World every other year to ensure the girls don't miss too much school, Vicknair said.
Vicknair said the girls didn't make it far last year, but this year the girls on the squad are "dedicated and committed with a whole lot of talent."
"The girls practiced all year-round," she said. "They are all really close and a great group of girls."

What you and I both expected came to fruition when Gil Hodges was not inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the veterans committee; in fact, no players from the Golden Era were elected.
An eight-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, Hodges was instrumental in leading the Dodgers to seven NL pennants and two World Series titles.
To Mets' fans, he'll always be the recalled as the manager who guided the team to the 1969 World Series championship.
Unfortunately, that's not enough for the voters. Damn.

From the Beverage News Satellite
Effective April 1, 2008, a large non-alcoholic beverage company will increase the list prices on their "entire International brand portfolio due to various factors impacting the cost of doing business internationally:
• Raw material increases, particularly European glass procurement.
• Increased drayage and trucking costs including fuel prices.
• Increase in the costs of procuring containers due to the worldwide shortage.
• Increase in costs associated with Homeland Security post-9/11 compliance.
• Expansion of number of US Port warehouses."
This is also happening with wine, folks. Fasten your seat belts. Hold on tight. More to come.

Smart, funny and articulate, Robert Reich is the university professor we all wish we'd had. He's so accessible and entertaining he takes a subject that sounds soporific and makes it come alive like you wouldn't believe in "Inequality for All."
That topic, as the title indicates, is the widening income gap in the United States between the hugely rich and the rest of us. Reich and documentary director Jacob Kornbluth turn out to be the ideal collaborators to tell the story of what that gap is, why it happened and why it's important, all in a totally engaging way.
In addition to his impeccable classroom style (we seem him teaching his popular "Wealth and Poverty" class at Berkeley), Reich's real-world credentials are impressive, including a stint as secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton.
Kornbluth, for his part, employs his skills as a dramatic feature director (his little-seen 2001 "Haiku Tunnel" is charming) to bring energy and vigor to the way this film is structured, making especially good use of lively animation and vivid charts.
Of course, as noted, Kornbluth has a great subject in Reich, who is constantly making jokes about his 4-foot-10 height and his longevity in government: "I was a special aide to
Even tougher times, however, exist today for the American middle class, and "Inequality" starts by laying out the extent of the problem: The richest 400 people in this country have more wealth than the 150 million who make up the bottom half of the population. Equally disturbing, 42% of Americans born into poverty will not make it out as opposed to 30% of Britons and 25% of Danes.
Despite this, Reich makes it clear that he is no enemy of capitalism and has no problem with the amount of inequality that is inevitable if we are to incentivize behavior.
But Reich also takes care to point out that there really is no such thing as a free market. There are always rules, and the question is, whom do these rules benefit, whom do they hurt, and why did they begin to shift over the past 30 years?
"Inequality's" key point starts from the frequently heard contention from wealthy folks that they are "job creators." Not so, Reich insists. Consumer spending is 70% of the U.S. economy, and the real job creators are the middle-class buyers.
Helping make this point is Seattle-based venture capitalist Nick Hanauer, one of several people the film interviews, whose initial family business was pillow manufacturing. Hanauer's annual income is between $10 million and $30 million, but, he points out, "a person like me doesn't buy 1,000 pillows. Even the richest person sleeps with only one or two. The most pro-business thing you can do is to help middle-class people thrive."
Since the mid-1970s, when wages flattened, the middle class has done everything but thrive. Reich reports three strategies, now maxed out, that families used to cope with that situation: Women entered the work force, people worked longer hours and took second and third jobs, and homeowners used their houses as piggy banks.
While globalization and technology are often cited as contributing to job loss, Reich says they were more important as wage reducers. Also a key factor here is the Wall Street pressure to keep profits high, a state often achieved by slashing pay. One of the most affecting moments in the film has working wife Nancy Rasmussen sobbing into the camera after a $12-an-hour wage cut: "If you have millions of dollars, why do you need that little bit I have?"
When Reich is asked which country our economy should emulate, he has a surprising answer: the United States. In the three decades after World War II, an era he calls "the great prosperity," the U.S. had "the largest middle class the world had ever seen," a situation that led to "a virtuous cycle" of even more prosperity.
Reich isn't eager for more income equality just to be a good guy. He makes the case, backed by conversations with conservatives like former Sen. Alan Simpson, that "widening inequality could undermine democracy" if it leads to what Simpson calls "government on the auction block."
"Inequality for All" concludes with footage of people at both Occupy and
"A lot of people feel the game is stacked against them, and losers in rigged games get angry," Reich points out. "We are losing equal opportunity in America, our moral foundation stone." It's hard to watch this persuasive documentary and feel that's nothing to worry about.

HILLSBOROUGH – Hillsborough Board of Commissioners candidate, Meighan Carmichael says while development is one of the top priorities on which Hillsborough will be focusing, she says, if elected, she will fight for smart growth.
"Hillsborough is a dynamic and great small town," Carmichael says. "It's thriving, and it's a prosperous place. But, it has a very different feel than other areas in the Triangle. I think that everyone in Hillsborough is interested in keeping the charm of Hillsborough while making sure that we're growing in a smart way."
WCHL's Ran Northam spoke with Carmichael about her seeking election to the Board of Commissioners and how she believes she'll best serve you.
***Listen to the Interview***
Three candidates are contending for two seats on the Board of Commissioners.
Carmichael says she's not going to use the commissioner seat as a platform to push her own agenda, but as a place to be a voice for the people.
"I want to hear their voices," Carmichael says. "I want them to be a part of the conversation. I think it's important for the town for us to actively seek those voices out."
Between now and Election Day, we'll be previewing each of the candidates one-on-one.

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) - It's that time of year again.
Video going viral shows what appears to be thousands of mayflies invading a gas station in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Georgia Seay Horn took the video at the Mapco Express at Sanders Ferry Road and Main Street on Monday night -- and she has quite the colorful commentary.
"This is so creepy," Horn can be heard saying in the video. "Oh my word!"
The video also shows someone appearing to pump gas at the station.
"What is he thinking. pumping gas in this? There's no way!"
Horn goes on to say, "this whole place is swarmed with these things."

Voting has opened for ExpressoBeans' 2009 Poster of the Year and Art Print of the Year awards! Please take a few minutes, head to the front page of the site, and use the "EB Art of the Year" module to the right to register your votes
The vote itself is completely automated: the vote is programmed to run each year at this time, using art created in the previous year that received the most votes for Art of the Week, and the most page views.
It has been noted that there are entries classified incorrectly (i.e. Art Prints appear in the Poster category, or vice-versa). This is due to human error in both the initial submission and the approval of the given piece. EB entries will automatically appear in the vote however they are categorized, so if the mistake isn't caught by a volunteer or by an EB Member and posted in the corrections thread, it results in the current situation. Unfortunately, once the vote automatically begins, corrections don't affect the current incorrect vote categories. Last year was the first year we had separate categories for Art Prints and Posters, and after having the same issue we had talked about a "dry run" where the vote would be set up a few days early and volunteers could double-check all the entries that made the vote, but that will have to be something for Engineering to work on for next year's vote
The vote will run until 1AM sever time on the 20th of January. Have fun!

Foxwoods breaks ground for outlet mall
Mashantucket — The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe hosted a groundbreaking Thursday for the long-awaited outlet mall linking Foxwoods Resort Casino's Grand Pequot Tower to MGM Grand at Foxwoods, a $120 million project promising 400 temporary construction jobs and, when completed, more than 900 permanent full- and part-time jobs.
The more than 300,000-square-foot mall will contain more than 80 stores, some of which were revealed for the first time.
Steven B. Tanger, president and chief executive officer of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, one of the project's development partners, read a list of tenants, as models wearing the stores' merchandise strode before an audience of invitees. The list included American Eagle Outlets, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Coach, The Loft, Michael Kors, Nike and Tommy Hilfiger.
Tanger said that, depending on the weather, the Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods would open in November 2014 or the spring of 2015.
"It'll be the eighth wonder of the world if we pull it off," he said.
The project, first announced in February 2012, presented some design challenges, Tanger said, and may be unique.
"To the best of my knowledge, it's the first outlet center attached to a casino anywhere in the country — probably in the world," he said. "It's a test. If it works out here, we may try to do it in other locations."
Tanger Outlets, based in Greensboro, N.C., operates an outlet center off Interstate 95 in Westbrook. It's partnering on the Foxwoods project with Gordon Group Holdings of Greenwich and hopes to take advantage of the millions of visitors Foxwoods attracts annually, particularly the non-gambling spouses of gamblers as well as locals eager for a new shopping experience. The mall's brand-name manufacturers will offer merchandise at a savings of 30 percent to 70 percent off retail prices.
The stores will be accessible only from inside the casino, Tanger said.
Foxwoods' nearby gaming competitor, Mohegan Sun, plans to break ground this year on a $50 million retail expansion of its own. It announced plans in June to add 200,000 square feet of space for a food pavilion, a 14-screen movie theater, an upscale bowling facility and shops.
After a program that included the fashion show, which followed remarks by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Mashantucket tribal leaders joined casino officials and developers' representatives at the construction site. Confetti shot from a cannon as the lineup, wearing hard hats, tossed earth with golden shovels.
Malloy, who touted the state's "partnership" with the Mashantuckets, congratulated tribal Chairman Rodney Butler "for all you have done in just the last year," apparently a reference to the tribe's completing a major restructuring of its long-term debt, ongoing improvements to Foxwoods' existing facilities and plans to extend the brand into other states.
Butler noted that last Saturday was the 375th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Hartford, which marked the end of the Pequot War, a conflict that decimated the tribe.
"It said we no longer exist," Butler said. "… But we've persevered."
Butler and Tanger exchanged gifts, and Tanger also presented Butler with a $2,500 donation to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center. Sonia Baghdady, a Channel 8 anchorwoman, served as master of ceremonies.
Scott Butera, Foxwoods' president and CEO, said his goal when he arrived nearly three years ago was to restore Foxwoods' claim to being the "premier destination resort in the western hemisphere."
"We knew we had been that before and could be again if we could get ourselves out of financial trouble," he said.
The "greatest financial restructuring in gaming history," he said, has provided the tribe with the capital to redo Foxwoods' hotel rooms, refurbish its gaming floors and add new restaurants and stores, and to pursue casino projects in Massachusetts, New York and other jurisdictions.
"The gaping hole in our business plan was a fresh shopping experience," Butera said. "When you consider women spend eight years of their lives shopping — most of it in malls …"
He credited Sheldon Gordon of the Gordon Group for helping conceive the outlet mall project and for landing as a partner Tanger Retail Outlets, which Butera called "the premier operator in this space."

Top community discussions about ScaleFinder
Is there a better alternative to ScaleFinder?See discussion
Is ScaleFinder really the best app in Audio category?See discussion
Will ScaleFinder work good on macOS 10.13.4?See discussion
ScaleFinder is Mac OS X application for musicians. It allows you to find the scale you're playing on, or the chord you're playing, from nothing but a bunch of notes.
I built this utility for whenever I write a song or chord by ear. It's hard for friends to find the key completely by ear, and chances are, I'm actually playing a well-known scale or chord (No matter how weird you think it is!!). You just tell this simple program the notes you're playing on, and it will search through every key/chord in every key and shoots output in half a second, a task that could take hours.
What's New in ScaleFinder
- Added The Chord Generator feature. Users can now generate chords from scales. The program takes the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th notes starting on each note of the scale and scans through the every chord starting on all 12 notes to see if any match. Its a rather math intensive process, but thanks to modern computers it only takes a few seconds :)
