I have enjoyed 22 great and challenging years here at the UA. I have been lucky to serve as a faculty member at North Carolina State, University of Kentucky and here for almost 40 years. Patti and I celebrated our 40<sup>th</sup> wedding anniversary and I turned 67 earlier this month. Life is good. More importantly, I have been privileged to work with all of you for all these years. Thanks for the good memories, the tough times forgotten, the ongoing challenges, the building of a new Extension support base, and for all the quality programs and efforts. You are good people making a difference in society. I wish you well.

This means these charges cannot be charged directly to grants and contracts, especially federally sponsored projects. Only under very limited exceptional circumstances can this be justified. Generally, scientific books and journals benefit the overall research work of the people involved in a specific grant project, so charging these costs to a specific project is not justifiable. Also, when these books and journals are available through the UA library system, the Federal agencies expect that we utilize this resource that has been paid via indirect cost rates. It is asked that we do NOT budget books and journals unless there is an exceptional circumstance (such as the nature of the project requires each participant to have a copy of a certain book or manual and our library system does not provide this book or does not have sufficient copies for checkout). A budget justification needs to explain the specific and exclusive benefit of the purchase to the project and to state if items are available or not via our library systems. Sponsored has to reject weak justifications because they increase the audit risk for the entire university. The Federal agencies are clear that an item budgeted and awarded does not guarantee the item is allowable per OMB Circular A-21 and they may still need to remove the costs even some items are listed in the budget and approved by the granting agencies. Contact your pre-award administrator if you have questions about a budget. For questions about allowable books and journals, contact Sponsored Projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>James A.
