NDLI: Program director's column:can nuggets make a difference?

Abstract	Jim Cramer's Mad Money program on CNBC points out rules to invest by which are prudent when managing and investing in the stock market. Creating a portfolio of investments is not necessarily an easy thing. Even more long term, being a manager of a research portfolio means knowing how and where to make investments, having a competent set of reviewers to assess those investments, determining what investments are likely to be of value to the community, determining the next generation leading computer scientists and achieving the best reward for the community by a modest investment of \$9M to 10Million dollars (which is what I have to work with). NSF invests in people, ideas, and tools proposed by our community. A Program Director is in essence a technical manager of a portfolio of investments; it is hard to gear the "payoff" to the community when one is a good NSF portfolio manager because there is no day-to-day stock price to determine how well the portfolio is doing. In fact, while I have been at NSF we have about the same amount of investment funds for the Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems (PDOS) community. But yes, there is a yearly report and there are nuggets. The yearly report provides a nice indication of research accomplishments, impact, and publication output; let's focus on nuggets however.
