R&D Budget and Policy Program AAAS Forum on Science & Technology Policy - should have some interesting talks. Anyone? http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/forum.htm

NSF seems to have tested your faith, and it is wanting. Perhaps you represent Job's crappy wife, or Bildad in this fantasy.

This is amazing - from NSF's twitter feed. I don't think the implications can possibly be overstated. NSF knows all, and judges harshly - with smiting and pestilence. Remember the book of Job. "# RT @NSF: @schar Thank you for notifying us. We will consider, and notify you. Remember, the internet is omniscient.1 minute ago from TwitterFon"

seriously dudes and dudettes, i may be all for the ostrich routine but this was posted 7 hours ago... fake disinterest is so last year. # @blahger156 The only public pronouncement is here: http://is.gd/tV8n Congress has not yet given final approval for the detailed plan. ...about 7 hours ago from web in reply to blahger156 follow the twitter and on a side note, this has been amusing # Happy Earth Day! However note: Students Least Informed about Environmental Science Are Most Optimistic - http://is.gd/tTMwabout 9 hours ago from web

The approximate timeframe for additional announcements is within the next two weeks. As of the morning of Wednesday 22 April, we have no new information regarding the notification timeframe or the number of additional awards.

" NSF Spending Plan for FY09 and ARRA approved by OMB, ARRA plan delivered to Congress. NSF expects to be able to move soon on funding actions11:43 AM Apr 20th from web NSF National Science Fdn" Congress = House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology, Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight? To join the naysayers, there is very little explicitly stated from nsf about spending arra funds on the grfp - even less in recent days.

i meant joy, in the fully funded rapture that is also tied to privacy. it has been posted several times how applicants discovered yea or nay from others or lists, with little time for personal celebration. any advance notice is a truly precious commodity.

i'll buy a vowel, mr. trebek, for 1475. 1475 = my wager for total number of awards for 2009. of course, i'm terrible at solving those dang puzzles. look, appropriations have been made, awards may be imminent... this is a but a distraction, as is reading public law text. sure, potatosack may be full of potatoes, but the joy of the interweb is anonymity. winner (nearest #) gets an email from the grfp.

and out.
