New Technology to Transform Lives
Each year, Technology Review (TR) magazine lists hot new technologies with the potential to transform how we live and work. TR’s 2007 list touches on a lot of areas, including medicine, energy and the Internet. On the health care/biotech front, hot technologies include nanohealing, neuron control, and single cell analysis. All of these tools will help transform how we diagnose and treat diseases like Parkinson’s and depression. In the energy sector, quantum- solar dot power holds great promise. Quantum-dots are tiny crystals of semiconductors that are only nanometers wide. Their miniscule size allows them to interact with light in a more efficient manner, and may help make solar power more efficient and cost competitive. Finally, anyone who has logged onto YouTube will understand why TR also lists peer-to-peer video networks as an important emerging technology. As peer-to-peer video becomes more popular, the Internet backbone may not be able to efficiently handle the traffic. Peer-to-peer networks offer one tool to save bandwidth and enhance Internet capacity.
The Technology Review “Ten Emerging Technologies 2007” list appears in the March/April edition of Technology Review.

FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY TASK FORCE
Have you ever wanted to find more information on government spending? Have you ever wondered where federal contracting dollars and grant awards go? Or perhaps you would just like to know, as a citizen, what the government is really doing with your money.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) of 2006 asks the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to lead the development, by January 2008, of a single searchable website, accessible by the public for free that includes for each Federal award:
A. the name of the entity receiving the award;
B. the amount of the award;
C. information on the award including transaction type, fundingagency, etc;
D. the location of the entity receiving the award;
E. a unique identifier of the entity receiving the award.
OMB has created a Task Force to implement the requirements of this important Act. Here is where you can have an impact on how the Task Force proceeds. Please use the comment box below to provide feedback on how you, as a citizen, would like to see the FFATA implemented and government award information presented.
http://www.fedspending.org/
You have a right to know how the federal government spends our money.
This website, created by OMB Watch, is a free, searchable database of federal government spending. To begin searching, select either the Grants or Contracts tab at the top left side of this page. You can easily switch back and forth as you search. The data below on total federal spending was taken directly from the FedSpending.org database. With over $14 trillion in federal spending, this more open and accessible tool for citizens to find out where federal money goes and who gets it is long overdue. We believe this website is a good first step toward providing that access.
New Version of FedSpending.org Released
On February 22, 2007, OMB Watch released a new version of FedSpending.org, including updated data for FY 2006, improved navigation, upgraded features, and an application programming interface (API) for advanced users. Learn more about the new features in About This Site.

The Compromise Between Flash and SEO
There's no doubt that Flash is interesting and visually stimulating, but when it comes to search engine optimization, it can kill your site. What's the point of having a great looking site if no one can find it? If you like the look of Flash there needs to be a compromise to allow the search engines to index your site correctly.
As Lorelle VanFossen from the Blog Herald points out, "Search engines don’t care about what your site looks like. It’s blind." Spiders need text to read in order to understand what your site is about and Flash's underlying code is unreadable to the search engines.
You still have options if you must use Flash. It can be used sparingly to visually enhance your site but the main focus should be on the text (including your keywords and phrases) and navigation. Link to interior pages as often as possible within the text to help guide the spiders through your site. A sitemap is another good feature to include.
Another option is to build an alternate HTML only version of the site. It's extra work, but worth it not only for users who will choose it based on the speed of their computers, but also for the search engine spiders who will have an easier time crawling the site.
If you would like to learn more about Search Engine Optimization, please call us at 410-727-7392.
We look forward to hearing from you!

OMB sets timeline to launch federal spending database
02/19/07
By Jason Miller, GCN Staff
With about 10 months until the congressionally mandated deadline to put all federal contract and grant spending in a database and online, the Office of Management and Budget is asking for public comment on how best to implement the law.
OMB launched a Web site, www.federalspending.gov, to collect these comments and set out an implementation timeline and the first set of frequently asked questions.
The site also includes links to existing sources of federal contract and grant data, including the Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation, the Federal Assistance Award Data System for grants and fedspending.org, the site developed by OMB Watch, a nonprofit organization in Washington.
“We will take public comment until we launch the final solution,” said an administration official requesting anonymity.
OMB said it will decide on the data elements that agencies still need to collect over the next five months and then launch a pilot in July for subgrants and contracts.
“The data is the big issue,” said the official. “Some data elements already are searchable and some are not. We need to decide what needs to be collected and compare it to what is already available.”
The official added that the working group will not issue a request for proposal and instead plans to use existing systems and components, including the USA.gov infrastructure. The overall technical approach still is under discussion.
OMB also will lean on its policy on search and retrieval instead of developing a new one.
“The approach we are taking is using existing data sources and making them searchable to the public with a low burden and hopefully a low cost,” the official said.

Procurement Update from WIPP
Reps. Meek and Herger Introduce 511 Repeal Bill
Representatives Kendrick Meek (D-FL) and Wally Herger (R-CA) recently introduced H.R. 1023 which repeals the 3% withholding requirement imposed by section 511 of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. This new requirement affects all government contracts as well as other payments, such as Medicare, grants, and farm payments. WIPP is deeply concerned about the potentially negative impact on all companies receiving contract payments or other forms of payment from all levels of government.
In particular, the withholding is based on revenues from government payments with no relationship to companies’ taxable income and it will impinge on company cash flows needed for day-to-day operations. In addition, the administrative costs to businesses and governments at all levels will be substantial and the process complicated to implement.
WIPP is part of the Government Withholding Relief Coalition which has lobbied to repeal this withholding in the 109th Congress and continues to lobby members of Congress in the 110th Congress. The Coalition will be sending a letter of thanks to Representatives Meek and Herger for sponsoring H.R. 1023 on Friday. Click here to ask your Representatives to support this provision.

Appropriators Vote to Keep Walter Reed Open
House Committee's Action Could Reverse Base Closing Scheduled for 2011
The House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved a measure yesterday that bars the closure of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, an action supporters say will reverse plans to shut the hospital in 2011.
The provision, attached to a bill with additional funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, blocks the use of any federal money to close Walter Reed.
Keeping open a base that has been chosen for closure by the Defense Department's Base Realignment and Closure Commission would be unprecedented. The system creating an independent commission to make such decisions was adopted by Congress to prevent political interference with base closures. But recent disclosures of serious problems with the long-term care of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed have sparked calls in Congress and elsewhere to reverse the decision. Senior Army officials also suggested that the decision be reconsidered.
"This is a done deal," Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), a committee member, said after the hearing. "Walter Reed will stay open."
"I can say without fear of contradiction it's not going to close," said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.).

Sales and Use Tax - Services
Synopsis:
Altering the definition of "taxable service" under the sales and use tax to impose the tax on specified services; exempting from the tax the sale of a parking facility or service by a political subdivision of the State; etc.
Thank you for contacting me concerning HB 448. After talking with many of the members on the Ways and Means Committee, I am confident this bill will not pass this legislative session. I hope we can work together to find a solution to the $1.3 billion shortfall that we will face next session.
