Roundup Reel: Week of July 25

1038626___film__

As much as I’d love to talk about something -- anything -- other than the debt ceiling debate, it’s unavoidable. There’s too much at stake and too many funding streams that could be impacted for us to ignore the ongoing talks.

Wondering Where We’d Be Without All the Distractions

1058129_stare

About every guy I know has it happen every so often. He’s discussing important business details with a buddy, mind focused on the key points he intends to make. Then an attractive female walks by, he pauses to glance, and next thing you know he’s asking himself, “Now, what was I talking about?” This distraction (albeit in this case a pleasant one) succeeded in leading him off course. This year seems like the year of distractions for grants management thanks to our elected officials in Washington.

Roundup Reel: Week of July 18

1038626___film__

The debt ceiling debate has been a fast-moving target for the last several weeks, with life seemingly breathed into a different proposal every day as the clock inexorably ticks down. Today marks the deadline the president has identified for the negotiations to conclude, but there are still two weeks until the government default becomes a reality according to the Treasury Department.
