In Scenes de Ballet, Ashton's geometrical brilliance is replaced by inchoate groupings of dancers. The women keep slipping into coy, starlet poses; or stretch effortlessly into splits, their thighs grasped by men who, just as effortlessly, lift the women overhead. In one duet, a cigarette- puffing flirt treats her male partner with contempt, only to succumb to his controlled experiment in bendy-toy manipulations. Much of the choreography feels throwaway. Scholz wanted, perhaps, to allude to the 1944 Broadway style of the revue, The Seven Lively Arts, in which Stravinsky's score was initially used for a balletic divertissement by Anton Dolin. Yet he leaves us with little more than a series of fleeting, half-drawn mood pictures, flanked by some occasionally witty distortions of sculptural form created by the movements of silhouetted figures as a backdrop of horizontal bands opens and closes on sections of activity.
In his Firebird, however, Scholz manages to marry dance and music more organically. His scenario, although a departure from the Russian legend which informed Fokine's 1910 ballet, doesn't amount to a new reading. In fact it harks right back to the Seventies. The work's planets-and-stars background hints at John Neumeier's science fiction version for the Frankfurt Ballet; and Scholz's decision to cast a man rather than a woman as the Firebird follows Maurice Bejart's example. The homoerotic overtones in the pas de deux between the Prince (Damien Diaz) and Firebird (Juan Boix) are eloquently complemented by the final tableau in which the Prince, now almost naked, stands with his back to the audience and is embraced by the Princess, while the Firebird orchestrates the procession of maidens who encircle the couple. By simple means, Scholz reveals that final, glorious apotheosis of movement and music which always leaves you with the impression that The Firebird is an uplifting ballet even if it's not a great one.
Had Scholz trusted in similarly simple but effective means for his Symphony in Three Movements, he might have created something more satisfyingly coherent than the rambling, inconsistently energised choreography with which he responds to Stravinsky's piano and harp arrangements. Allusions to war (as in Balanchine's ballet) abound: an oriental army marching and striking; unspecified global power as enacted by women; optimism strangled and renewed by turns. Scholz has a decent skeleton of a ballet but keeps piling it with choreographic gristle rather than lean and muscular dance.

Makes 2 to 4 sundaes, depending upon how much strawberry topping is used for each
Strawberries and chocolate are a great combination. Here, the strawberries are macerated with sugar and orange juice for an hour or so, which results in a nice blend of fruit and some syrup; the perfect foil for ice cream! I prefer to use ice cream with just a bit of chocolate in it, but you can use straight chocolate if you like. For a change of pace, consider using chocolate sorbet instead of ice cream. The strawberries do not keep well; use them within about 6 hours of combining with the sugar and orange juice. If your berries are really sweet, you may want to use less sugar. Discard any moldy or soft strawberries first, then wash what you need quickly in cold water and dry on paper towels.
1 cup thinly-sliced strawberries
2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar
1 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed, strained orange juice
Scoops of good-quality chocolate chip OR
vanilla fudge ice cream, slightly softened
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
Chocolate sprinkles
In small, nonaluminum bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, and orange juice. Stir gently to mix well. Cover; chill at least one hour and as long as six hours, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar.
Place ice cream scoops in wineglasses or sundae dishes. Divide berries and syrup evenly among sundaes, spooning mixture over ice cream in each dish or glass. Top with lightly sweetened whipped cream, then finish each sundae with chocolate sprinkles. Serve immediately!

TO0008/14F Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of TO0008in our 2015, and 2016 Tod's range.
These Sunglasses are a guarantee for looking good for both men and women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. This epitome of aviator sunglasses from the house Tod's is distinguished by their characteristically large lenses and thin frame. The model a sure hit, not only in the cockpit of an airplane. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. You find black too boring and bright colours are not your thing? Then grey is a your perfect alternative! The colour is not only a trend and suits almost every skin type, it can also be combined with any outfit. Brown is the dominant colour for sunglass lenses. They radiate warmth and look very soft. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Tod's back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

The Final Note
If you like Nicholas Sparks, you'll like Kevin Alan Milne. In this story, a starry-eyed young couple find love in romantic Vienna. But instead of marriage leading to the expected happily-ever-after, it leads to real life, and all the things in the world that a couple must face to remain a couple—if they're going to remain a couple. You root for the characters in this book, but you understand them too. Milne has a way with people that makes them real, flaws and all. Reading this with a handkerchief nearby is recommended.
Thanks! You're on our list.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts home games could be blacked out on television in the Indianapolis area this season if the team doesn't sell all its tickets.
Chief Operating Officer Pete Ward tells The Indianapolis Star the team has 2,000 season tickets still to be sold. If those don't sell, the team will try to sell tickets for individual games.
The NFL recently eased its TV blackout rules, allowing local telecasts if 85 percent of seats are sold. Teams, however, can set the threshold above 85 percent if they wish.
The Colts are in a rebuilding year after releasing quarterback Peyton Manning and several veterans and drafting new quarterback Andrew Luck.


text: Irony Share Tweet Pin-it Bookmark AP Photo / Mic Smith ByJosh MarshallPublishedJanuary 17, 2016, 8:27 PM EST 966 views As we await the beginning of tonight's debate, let's note a gleaming irony. Sanders backers (and O'Malley's backer) have been complaining for months that the DNC kept the number of debates to a minimum and scheduled them at odd times to benefit Hillary Clinton, the most known candidate and prohibitive frontrunner, who has had and continues to have overwhelming establishment support. It's not terribly surprising that the DNC would do this, considering the desire to avoid a lengthy primary season and the near unanimous support she has enjoyed among Democratic elected officials. Doesn't mean it's fair. But it's hardly surprising. And yet, that mild tipping of the scales now looks like it may be hurting Clinton. Clinton has done quite well in the debates - both in subjective terms (what I or other people might think) in objective terms. She's performed strongly and seen her poll numbers benefit after the debates. That means she'd probably be benefiting from even more debates. She could use a high profile debate right now in fact. But here we are with a 9pm debate on Sunday on a long holiday weekend. Other than scheduling one on New Year's Eve or 3 O'Clock in the morning, it's hard to know how you could limit viewership any more than that.

The Oriental Theater to Host Meniskus and Fraga on Saturday, May 26. Denver, CO.
One of Denver's finest and most up-and-coming venues, The Oriental Theater, will play host to two of our favorite local live acts later this month. Local crowd-pleasers meniskus will join Fraga for a one-night-only show on Saturday, May twenty-sixth at the Oriental.
The Grateful Dead's Donna Jean Godchaux and The Zen Tricksters, the pre-eminent jam-rock band, have come together. While having performed on occasion with the Zen Tricksters in the past, this reunion marks the second time Donna Jean has joined with this band for a complete performance. The first time was just last November 12, 2005 for the Grateful Dead's Rex Foundation.
This very special benefit for the Rex Foundation at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on Saturday, September 24th, 2005 features:
Phil Lesh was in Denver autographing his new book, Searching for the Sound, and we were there to meet him. The Tattered Cover hosted the event. At least 500 on hand to have their books signed. Phil started autographing books around 7PM, 30 minutes early; no doubt the good crowd prompted this. We were probably 200th on line and Phil was taking about 20 - 30 seconds chatting with most people.
The Jammy's awards will take place in New York City at Madison Square Garden on April the 26th.

You could also look at the Jooglebery Playhouse which contains a restaurant upstairs, with a beautiful lounge bar/ live venue serving tapas below. If jazz is your thing, you may be interested in the well-established Jazz night on Mondays at the Hanbury Ballroom. have fun!

Britain is falling far short of David Cameron's target of achieving exports worth £1trn a year by the end of the decade, the Prime Minister will be warned today, as he prepares to give a major speech urging British firms to strive harder to sell overseas.
Mr Cameron, who is planning visits to India and China, will argue in his Mansion House address that the UK has to compete even more vigorously to break into lucrative export markets.
The warning comes as Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, begins Britain's biggest ever trade mission to Russia. He is taking executives from 31 companies to Moscow, where they are preparing to sign a series of export deals.
The visit is part of Export Week, in which 5,000 businesses will take part.
However, the struggle they face to clinch foreign contracts is underlined in a new report by the think-tank Reform. It says the value of British sales overseas will need to soar at a rate of 9 per cent a year to hit the £1trn target set in last year's Budget. Reform warns that export ambitions are low, particularly among small firms. In a survey it found that less than 3 per cent of firms with an annual turnover of up to £500,000 had sought advice on exporting during the past year.
Mr Cable said last night: "British small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. Many are doing incredible things and selling their services and products abroad, but too many do not realise their global potential."
Andrew Haldenby, the director of Reform, said: "The Government's efforts to promote trade are a relatively unheralded UK success story. Ministers now have to deliver a stronger business environment and make greater efforts to open up new markets."

Nostalgia ultimately gets the best of director Rob Reiner in "Flipped," a well-intentioned family pic about first love that's overly concerned with period details and life lessons, rather than the genuinely sweet characters at its center. Though thankfully skirting the more saccharine manipulations of Reiner's "The Bucket List," "Flipped" is nonetheless a somewhat leaden piece of work, its considerable charms nearly smothered by strange pacing and awkward staging. Opening in limited release before spreading wide, this looks to be a profitably modest theatrical draw followed by more generous homevid activity.
Adapted from Wendelin Van Draanen's well-loved 2001 young-adult novel, "Flipped" delves into the intricacies of a slowly budding junior-high romance "Rashomon"-style, with key incidents told and retold by each side of the gender divide. Representing that divide are across-the-street neighbors Juli Baker (Madeline Carroll), an idealistic oddball with a knack for climbing trees and raising chickens, and Bryce Loski (Callan McAuliffe), an oft-confused all-American type.
As Juli has harbored a crush on him since second-grade, Bryce has mastered ducking her attentions through "a half-decade of strategic avoidance," he tells us in voiceover. As they enter middle school, Bryce begins to feel guilty for so frequently joining the crowd as they mock her idiosyncrasies, which ever-so-incrementally leads him toward more serious feelings for her, while Juli starts to wonder what she ever saw in this rather unimaginative pretty-boy.
Set in rural Michigan in the early 1960s (the novel took place in the present day), the film charts the relationship's episodic progress while also limning the class divide between the two families, contrasting Juli's loving blue-collar clan with Bryce's judgmental upper-middle-class one. The film never tries to clutter its suburban milieu with excessive drama, yet so many scenes are played twice to accommodate the opposing perspectives that things start to drag.
Pic also gains little from being transposed to the postwar era of Reiner's childhood (and of his far superior "Stand by Me"). In fact, the vintage details ultimately become a distraction; the period seems to encourage an almost Thomas Kinkade-worthy idealization in the director -- every scene appears to take place during the magic hour, when even McAuliffe's peach fuzz glows in the warm amber light -- with all of the most obvious cultural signifiers and music popping up at every turn. (There will be Everly Brothers.)
Reiner maintains an even tone through most of the film, though he notably loses control whenever the focus leaves the two protagonists. Anthony Edwards (as Bryce's choleric father) never seems to know whether he's supposed to provide outright villainy or goofy comic relief, and a late scene in which he gets drunk and slaps Bryce's older sister comes from out of nowhere. Likewise, Juli's visit to her institutionalized uncle (Kevin Weisman) comes across as uncomfortably manipulative.
The two young leads do an admirable job carrying the film, however, and one wishes they were granted more time to simply be their characters, rather than running the kiddie romantic-comedy gantlet. Carroll is both adorable and believably self-possessed; unlike so many actors tasked with playing precocious children, she's still recognizably a kid despite her maturity. Aussie first-timer McAuliffe is a bit more stilted in his line readings, though he's still a game performer and gets his American accent just about right. Adult supporting players are largely competent, with Aidan Quinn particularly likable as Juli's father, and John Mahoney making the best of his "teller of homespun truths" part as Bryce's grandfather.
Technical contributions are pro, although the tendency toward high-gloss, seemingly CG-sweetened sunsets gets a bit cloying.

Data Profiling:
Solving computationally complex tasks is a challenge and a central activity in data profiling. This involves primarily the discovery of metadata in many gigabyte-sized datasets, which is why algorithms developed for this purpose need to be efficient and robust. Because data profiling offers such a plethora of challenging, yet unsolved tasks, I have chosen it as my primary research area. I am in particular interested in the discovery of data dependencies, such as inclusion dependencies, unique column combinations, functional dependencies, order dependencies, matching dependencies, and many more.
Data Cleansing:
Data is one of the most important assets in any company. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure its quality and reliability. Data cleansing and data profiling are two essential tasks that - if performed correctly and frequently - help to guarantee data fitness. In this area, I am particularly interested in (semi-)automatic duplicate detection methods and normalization techniques as well as their efficient implementation.
Parallel and Distributed Systems:
Due to the complexity of many tasks in IT, a clever algorithm alone is often not able to deliver a solution in time. In these cases, parallel and distributed systems are needed. Especially when facing ever larger datasets, i.e., big data, we need to consider technologies such as map-reduce (e.g. Spark and Flink), actors (e.g. Akka), and GPUs (e.g. CUDA and OpenCL) to implement scalability into our solutions.

Online Courses:
Functional dependencies (FDs) are an important prerequisite for various data management tasks, such as schema normalization, query optimization, and data cleansing. However, automatic FD discovery entails an exponentially growing search and solution space, so that even today's fastest FD discovery algorithms are limited to small datasets only, due to long runtimes and high memory consumptions.
To overcome this situation, we propose an approximate discovery strategy that sacrifices possibly little result correctness in return for large performance improvements. In particular, we introduce AID-FD, an algorithm that approximately discovers FDs within runtimes up to orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art FD discovery algorithms. We evaluate and compare our performance results with a focus on scalability in runtime and memory, and with measures for completeness, correctness, and minimality.

Indonesian sect members seek asylum in Australia
Six members of a moderate Muslim sect in Indonesia are seeking asylum in Australia. The sect has been subjected to a campaign to ban it in Indonesia.
TranscriptVIRGINIA TRIOLI, PRESENTER: In Bali, six Indonesians have shown up at the Australian consulate seeking asylum. They claim they're members of the minority Islamic sect Ahmadiya and that it's no longer safe for them to live in Indonesia. Hardline Islamists like Abu Bakar Bashir have joined forces with powerful Government agencies to push for Ahmadiya to be formally banned.
Indonesia correspondent Geoff Thompson reports.
GEOFF THOMPSON, REPORTER: Interreligious strife has always loomed as a threat to Indonesia's unity. A Muslim majority of at least 85 per cent means that in times of crisis, Christians and others can quickly become targets of mob discontent.
USTAD SOBRI LUBIS, ISLAMIC DEFENDERS FRONT (translation): We call the Muslims to wage war against Ahmadiya.
GEOFF THOMPSON: But in these times of peace, Indonesia's Muslims are turning against differences within Islam itself.
The Ahmadiya sect has existed in Indonesia since 1924 and has hundreds of thousands of followers. Now it's being threatened with a Government ban.
AHMADIYA PROTESTOR (voiceover translation): A group of people is trying to force their beliefs upon us and trying to suppress us and wipe us from the world.
GEOFF THOMPSON: Ahmadiya's dispute with the Sunni majority turns on debates over whether its founder and his writings pose a challenge to the status of Mohamad as the last prophet and the Koran as Allah's only word.
MAHENDREDATTA, MUSLIM LAWYERS LEAGUE: They try to push people, to force people to believe that Islam is Ahmadiya. Ahmadiya with book name , not Al Koran and also the last prophet is not Mohammed
GEOFF THOMPSON: In Sukabumi in West Java, an Ahmadiya mosque reopens for the first time in days and under police guard. An intergovernmental agency empowered to oversee people's beliefs has demanded a ban on Ahmadiya. But when the attorney general stalled, a mob burnt down another mosque nearby. For more than 30 years, Ahmadiyas have worshipped at this mosque in relative peace. Well those days are obviously over. In countries like Pakistan, Ahmadiyas are not even recognised as Muslims and now pressure is building on the Indonesian Government to do the same and declare Ahmadiya a deviant sect.
USMAN HAMID, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST: Banning Ahmadiya will give legitimacy to those who are against Ahmadiya. Banning Ahmadiya will be a kind of throwing, throwing an oil to the fires. So we urge the Government not to ban Ahmadiya.
GEOFF THOMPSON: Ahmadiya's followers say a ban will force them to seek asylum in countries like Australia.
GUNAWAN WARDY, AHMADIYA SPOKESMAN (voiceover translation): There are some offers from our brothers in Canada, Australia and brothers in different cities, but we love this motherland so much, why must we leave?
ABU BAKAR BASHIR, MUSLIM CLERIC (voiceover translation): Go for it, that's how the infidel is, always seeking protection from fellow infidels.
GEOFF THOMPSON: The proposed ban is supported by Abu Bakar Bashir and the hardline Muslim Defenders Front.
ABU BAKAR BASHIR (voiceover translation): We have no tolerance for them. If they create a new religion, then no problem, it's their business. But don't change Islam with new ideas. Simply create a new group, a new religion and don't call it Islam at all.
GEOFF THOMPSON: The Government's preferred response is to avoid a decision, but never has the pressure been so intense, or for Ahmadiya, the stakes so high.
Geoff Thompson, Lateline.

Self-employment and Caring for Children: Evidence from Europe
Using data unique to the European Community Household Panel survey (ECHP), we examine the hypothesis that self-employed workers spend more time caring for children than do those in other forms of employment. Our results, for eleven western-European countries, provide little support for the hypothesis, except in one or two countries, and only for women. Indeed, in many European nations, self-employed women on average spend less time caring for children than do other employed women.

In deference to Steve Jobs, as mentioned in his biography by Walter Isaacson, here is how to facilitate reducing the next ten things a team ought consider doing, down to the final three or four actions that the team has resources to manage. Mentioned casually in the book, the concept of prioritization is key to group performance, so we will remind you about three very important facilitation tools from the FAST technique; namely Definition, PowerBalls, and BookEnds.
Before you get to a final list of ten or twelve action items, you may need to more fully define what is meant by something. Be conscious about the perspective. Are you helping the team define the final output, desired outcome, or are you having them focus clearly on the next step (that presumably leads to a final output AND a new, desired outcome) or action required?
When you are challenged about the scope, characteristics, or details of some proposed activity, consider using the Definition tool. In its most robust format, a thorough definition answers five discrete demands See the Definition tool for an example):
- What is it NOT?
- Describe it in one sentence or less than 50 words.
- Provide the specific characteristics that make this clear or unique.
- Draw or illustrate the thing or workflow.
- Provide at least two examples from the business to vivify the narrative above.
Once you have a list of ten or so actions the team has socialized and understood, apply the PowerBall tool.
As described in greater detail earlier, you will use a symbol that helps the team force fit into thirds; one-third HIGH, one-third LOW, and the remaining one-third MODERATE. The symbols and definitions that can be used are shown in the illustration taken from one of our facilitative leadership classes.
Finally, since groups have a tendency to defend that everything is important, you must embrace the BookEnd tool to avoid compression, or ending up with 80 percent of the items being ranked high. Therefore, using one question at a time, isolate "Which of these is most important?". Next, "Which of these is least important?". Continue with "Which of the remaining is next most important?". Followed by, "Which of the remaining is next least important?". After one or two more rounds, the list should be entirely coded so that you have led the team to build consensus around the next three or four things that they agree should be next steps.
Facilitation Skills
The FAST curriculum on Professional Facilitation Skills details the responsibilities and dynamics mentioned above. Remember friends, nobody is smarter than everybody, so consult your FAST Facilitator Reference Manual or attend a FAST professional facilitative leadership training workshop offered around the world (see MG Rush for a current schedule — an excellent way to earn 40 PDUs from PMI, CDUs from IIBA, or CEUs).

Derbyshire could not prevent Essex completing a 24-run victory in a high-scoring floodlit Pro40 Second Division game at the County Ground last night.
A brilliant unbeaten 112 from only 59 balls from Ravi Bopara, who also claimed four wickets, and 108 not out from Jason Gallian lifted the Eagles to 304 for 1. Although the Phantoms made a spirited reply, they fell short at 279 for 8, despite their captain Rikki Clarke's defiant 69.
Clarke's bowlers were dazzled by the strokeplay of Bopara, who more than made up for the fact that Graham Napier's big hitting was not required.
Bopara demolished the Phantoms' attack after Gallian and Mark Pettini had provided him with a launching pad by putting on 143 for the first wicket. Pettini made 73 before he top-edged Graham Wagg to the wicketkeeper in the 24th over but that was Derbyshire's last success.
A pull over the midwicket boundary off Greg Smith was the first of Bopara's seven sixes as he accelerated to a 38-ball half-century after Gallian had completed his 100 from 94 balls. Bopara then dispatched Wagg for four consecutive sixes as his second 50 came off only 16 balls.
Derbyshire started well, with Chris Rogers and Dan Birch sharing an opening stand of 75 before Bopara bowled Birch with a slower ball.
Jamie Pipe and Wagg fell victim to the climbing run rate and, with 37 needed off the last two overs, Clarke's innings ended when he chipped to cover.

State Department:
Transparent Cost Estimates Needed to Support Passport Execution Fee Decisions
GAO-08-63: Published: Oct 10, 2007. Publicly Released: Nov 2, 2007.

As early as January 31, 2008, U.S. citizens will be required to present a passport or other approved document to enter the United States at all ports of entry. The Department of State (State) is developing a "passport card" as a means of establishing U.S. citizenship for individuals crossing U.S. land borders or arriving by sea from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, or Bermuda. State proposes to charge $45 for the card, which would include a $25 execution fee. Acceptance facilities, including State's passport offices, as well as post offices and state courts, execute passport applications on State's behalf, and retain this fee. GAO was asked to examine (1) the factors State considered when setting the proposed fee and (2) how execution cost data were developed. GAO reviewed current laws that authorize the setting of fees and met with State officials to determine how they set the execution fee. GAO also met with officials from State and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to discuss acceptance facility execution costs and how these costs were estimated.
State considered several factors, including congressional interest in having a low-cost travel document, when setting the proposed passport execution fee. State has proposed to reduce the current execution fee from $30 to $25, which would help the department to issue a lower cost passport card that meets the new documentation requirements. Consular officials told GAO that State made a commitment to Congress to issue a document that would be, at most, one-half the price of the current passport book, which costs $97 for first time, adult applicants. To do this, State needed to reduce its fees, including the execution fee. Consular officials stated that State did not want to reduce the execution fee below $25 because it wanted to recover its costs, which it estimated at $24.36 per execution. In addition, the fee needed to be high enough to avoid jeopardizing State's relationship with acceptance facilities, on which State depends to provide passport services. State concluded that $25 would compensate acceptance facilities based, in part, on data from USPS that initially indicated its passport execution costs were about $19, as well as a projected increase in application volume. USPS later told State that the $19 figure did not include additional indirect costs. GAO found that State's most recent cost of service study, which estimated passport execution costs, lacked documentation of key decisions. Rigorous documentation increases an estimate's credibility and helps support an organization's decision-making process. Documentation of cost estimates should explicitly identify the primary methods, calculations, results, and rationales or assumptions. State was not able to provide documentation of critical components of the study's methodology. For example, consular officials could not provide details of its survey used to estimate the time it takes to execute a passport, including how the data was used to arrive at the final time estimate. State has begun a new cost study that will provide updated estimates of execution costs.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 2009, State's Bureau of Consular Affairs published its cost of service study, which specifically addressed aspects of our recommendation. The 2009 study included an overview of the methodology, which documented various phases of the study such as the data collection method, data analysis, State?s time and activity survey, and data validation. The 2009 study also identified assumptions used in calculating passport unit costs, such holding constant--for fiscal years 2006 through 2008--the percentage of time allocated per passport execution activity provided by consular affairs employees through State's survey instrument, as well as limitations with State's survey instrument and data collected with that instrument. The study also documented the extent to which it incorporated estimated passport execution costs for acceptance agencies, such as USPS. For example, execution fee costs incurred by the acceptance facilities were assumed to be equal to the execution fee that acceptance facilities charged State, according to the 2009 study.
Recommendation: To improve the transparency of the passport execution fee-setting process, the Secretary of State should instruct the department's contractor to provide additional documentation in its forthcoming fee study to support key methodologies, assumptions, and limitations. Such documentation should clarify survey and other work performed, disclose all sources of cost information being used, and identify potential limitations and uncertainties associated with the cost figures and other data. The study should also document the extent to which State's contractor incorporated estimated passport execution costs from USPS and other acceptance facilities.

Pros: Switched out my Cisco e3000 tonight because it kept slowing down until nothing worked, and then I had to fight with it to get devices back on the network after rebooting.
Not so with the N900! Set my SSID and password to match what I had on the e3000, booted it up, and *presto* went from 20Mbps -> 56Mbps with near instant connections from all 10 devices in the house!
Rock ON! Two of my coworkers have this router, and we use the N600 at work. Could not be happier so far!
Cons: none so far

The fourth week of the 2015 NFL season finds several backup quarterbacks trying to help their teams until the regular starters return. Here's a preview of Week 4's most interesting games.
Five teams got their first wins of the 2015 season, and another team may have suffered a season-altering loss, even though they won. Here's what we learned in Week 3 of the NFL.
Eli Manning threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns, and the New York Giants defeated the mistake-prone Washington Redskins, 32-21, in East Rutherford, NJ on Thursday night.
The Jets defense forced five Colts turnovers, including four by Andrew Luck, and New York easily beat Indianapolis, 20-7, on the road Monday night.
The Seahawks are winless, and the Cowboys are Tony Romo-less. For now. Here's what we learned in Week 2 of the NFL.
Bradley Roby returned a Jamaal Charles fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds left and the Denver Broncos continued their dominance of the Chiefs with a 31-24 win in Kansas City on Thursday night.
San Francisco and Atlanta won their 2015 NFL debuts on Monday night. Here's a recap of the Week 1 doubleheader:
An incredible rookie performance and some key injuries dominated the headlines on the first Sunday of the 2015 NFL season. Here are the most important things we learned in Week 1:
The 2015 NFL season officially kicks off Thursday night in New England, where the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots will begin their quest to repeat with a tough first-week game against the Steelers. The rest of the league gets started on Sunday. Here's what you need to know about Week 1.
NFC teams won't get their 2015 season started until Sunday, but this year will be a race to dethrone the two-time-defending conference champs, the Seattle Seahawks.
