All for the best: The birth story of Lucas
My pregnancy was pretty uneventful. Mild cramping in the beginning, an irritating case of PUPPs in the third trimester (and for three weeks after birth) and a lot of pelvic/hip discomfort for the last month were the worst things I experienced. … Continue reading
Week 31: The anatomy of my third trimester
1. Messy hair. Also known as the rat's nest on my head that smells like Nexus. It's a sign that I stopped caring about how my hair looks three weeks ago. It also means I don't care what you think … Continue reading
Having four kids is the definition of multitasking. You know what else is multitasking in its truest sense? Breastfeeding a 2-month-old while wiping a 3-year-old's poopy little bottom. Yep, at the same time. I'm becoming an old pro at doing things … Continue reading
Why my newborn has an email address
My newborn has an email account. He can't even read or type, so what's the point, you might ask. Maybe I'm just a geek that has to get his kids using tech gadgets as early as possible. Maybe it's all … Continue reading
Five-month fog
Whew. I'm tired. Like, that glossy-eyed, droopy-mouthed, stumble-around-the-house-in-a-daze kind of tired. The kind of tired I expected to be when Bea was a newborn. Except that phase wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I held my … Continue reading
Week 38: Flipping Babies
There are many phrases you don't want to hear at your 36-week appointment, like "you're going to be pregnant for nine more months" or "your baby is actually half vampire." For me, my OB walked into the room following my … Continue reading

Parental epiphanies
I forget that I'm a parent more often than you'd think. Not because I'm neglecting Rowan, but because it's such a natural part of my identity now. Changing diapers has become second nature, and playing peekaboo is part of my … Continue reading
A speedy arrival: The birth of Abigail Rose

Week 30: Labor induction a la natural

No "Miracle" comeback against The Vikes!
by Roger Christian
posted Dec 6 2010 5:37AM
It looked good early, knocking out Brett Favre and getting a quick "pick 6" TD against the Vikings Back-up QB Tarvaris Jackson, but the game for the Bills went downhill from there on Sunday. The Bills just can't turn the ball over 5 times and expect a win even a "miracle" comeback win. The Browns are here at the Ralph next on Sunday.

I can't work out, where i have to look for any changed files that remains after deinstallation..?
Shouldnt it made backups before changing files and put it back while uninstalling ?
But pain doesnt stop there: after reinstallation webo wont start anymore. Just showing up "0%" for a second and remains disabled.
Nevertheless, -i can't find a support forum where a solution should be waiting for me to find it, cause im surely not the only one.
Do i have to run code.google up and down for - maybe ? - find a solution ? Really ?? (Btw i did it and i didnt found anything).
Very bad state of scripting and supporting, isnt it ?

CES 2012 | Nvidia and Asus reveal $249 Tegra 3 tablet
During the Nvidia press conference, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang and Asus CEO Jerry Shen unveiled an upcoming 7-inch Tegra 3 tablet with a "great camera" for only $249 to compete directly against the Kindle Fire and Nook
Nvidia revealed onstage one of the most inexpensive tablets to come with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and Android ICS. The tablet will reportedly sell for just $249.
While details are scarce, we suspect that the tablet may be an underclocked Asus Transformer Prime. The naming has yet to be revealed. However, for only $249, we're not expecting the display quality, resolution or battery life to blow us away.
More information on the aggressively priced Asus tablet will follow.

Good vs. bad: What veterinary products made the list?
According to the results from the 2012 Veterinary Economics Business Issues Survey, our respondents considered the following products their most and least favorite purchases—and one made both lists.
- Most favorite
- Radiography equipment
- Ultrasound
- In-house laboratory equipment
- Least favorite
- Radiography equipment
- Tonometers
- Dental equipment
To make sure your next purchase makes the list of favorites next year, we asked Dr. Fred Metzger, DABVP, a Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member and owner of Metzger Animal Hospital in State College, Pa., for some tips to consider before you buy. Here they are:
Know your end goal. What exactly do you hope to accomplish with this new piece of equipment? If it isn't going to improve the quality of medicine you can provide your patients, don't get it. Period.
Determine who's going to use it. Don't purchase a piece of equipment that requires advanced instruction unless you're dedicated to training. A lot of ultrasound equipment sits around because no one in the office knows how to use it.
Know what's in it for you. Determine your Return on Investment (ROI). Make sure the equipment or product is going to be profitable enough to pay for itself. And don't forget—you've got to sell your clients on it, too.
Don't saturate the market. Know whether your geographic area is able to support the equipment, especially if it's advanced technology. If three veterinarians in your area already have this piece of equipment, do you really need it?
Know your warranty. At some point the piece of equipment is going to break down and you need to know what to do when it does. Call colleagues who have used the product and get firsthand recommendations of the company, the equipment, and the repair warranty.

Am I too young to date someone in the military?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 10-02-2011 - 12:58pm
I'm in my senior year of high school (I'm 18). The guy I'm interested in is in the army
I've known him since I was really young because he is my brothers best friend. So I love him very much because he has been a part of my life for more than half of it.
When I told him I was interested in him (he is in another state right now he will be deploying I a few months) he said that because of the distance he didn't see it working out and because he and my brother are best friends he didn't want to mess anything up(which my brother has already talked to him and said it was fine). But that he shares the same feelings.
So before I keep hinting at him I just want to know. Is it really that unreasonable? Because I would imaging a long distance relationship happens ALL the time. And am I too young to be getting involved with someone in the military?
And if he were to change his mind on everything. It is difficult to keep a long distance relationship?
|Mon, 10-03-2011 - 9:39pm
If he is telling you that he isn't into long distance relationships, believe him. Long distance relationships require both people to be putting in effort to the relationship and a lot of patience and understanding (especially once he deploys).
I wouldn't hint at anything, instead just be up front and honest with him. Tell him that you want to see what happens and see what he says. Good luck!
|Mon, 11-14-2011 - 3:01pm
The other ladies have hit the nail on the head. Your age has nothing to do with it. Neither, really, does his age, his friendship with your brother, or even his military status. The bottom line is that for a relationship of any kind to work, both people have to want to be in it, and whether or not you agree, he forsees some circumstances that make him not want to be in one with you at the moment. He may change his mind in the future, and if he does, you should feel free to pursue it. But don't wait around for it to happen.
|Sat, 09-22-2012 - 10:19pm
Military life is hard enough as it is...add to it a long distance relationship and it becomes even harder. There will be times he will go for weeks or months without having contact with the outside world. Even the strongest relationship can become strained. I know for my dh and I, when he would deploy, I would stress and worry. There will always be rumors of infidelity...from both sides. it doesn't matter how old you are, it happens. I saw many relationships break down because someone would tell the soldier that while he was away his girl cheated, or vice versa.
You have to follow your conscience and your heart. I will just tell you, it is not easy at all. Good luck, and please keep us posted.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Russian football union will attend UEFA and FIFA-mediated talks about Ukrainian dispute
MOSCOW - The Russian Football Union plans to attend UEFA and FIFA-mediated talks next month aimed at resolving a dispute with Ukraine over the clubs in Crimea.
Three clubs from Crimea, a region in Ukraine annexed by Russia in March, debuted in Russian league and cup competitions this month. UEFA has refused to recognize any matches they play, but stopped short of issuing sanctions against Russia, the 2018 World Cup host.
RFU president Nikolai Tolstykh told Russian media that talks with the Football Federation of Ukraine on the issue would be held Sept. 18 at UEFA headquarters.
"The agenda of the meeting will concern the situation regarding clubs from Crimea and Sevastopol competing in the Russian championship," Tolstykh told the R-Sport news agency.
However, FFU spokesman Pavel Ternovoi told The Associated Press that Ukrainian representatives "are not interested" in talks with Russia if it continues to claim jurisdiction over Crimean clubs.
Ternovoi said that talks involving both countries' football associations plus UEFA president Michel Platini and FIFA representatives were planned but not confirmed, and that "the question . is open" over whether the FFU's president would meet with the Russians directly.
Instead, discussing possible sanctions against Russia with UEFA and FIFA remains a priority, he said.
"To achieve some kind of solution is impossible in negotiations with a side that is breaking all existing football norms and laws," Ternovoi said. "The only thing we can achieve in talks with UEFA and FIFA is the level of sanctions and understanding of the issue."
UEFA's ruling that it would not recognize the Crimean clubs' matches in Russia was welcomed by Russian Football Union officials, who noted that it did not include sanctions against their organization.
All three Crimean clubs covered by UEFA's ruling — SKChF Sevastopol, Tavria Simferopol and Zhemchuzhina Yalta — are playing in Russia's third tier and none are competing in any UEFA tournaments this season, so UEFA's ruling is likely to have little practical effect.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter has said the matter should be "overseen" by UEFA, which as Europe's governing body has precedence over FIFA in purely European disputes.
Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta earlier this month published what it said was a leaked recording of a meeting of the RFU's executive board to discuss admitting the Crimean clubs to the league.
On the recording, which has not been independently verified, some of the participants express concern that Russia could lose the right to host the 2018 World Cup or that Russian clubs could be ejected from the Champions League and Europa League.

Social LinkTalk8
this wiki
- "A bond made with another person. Getting to know others is the key to strengthening you Personas."
- —Persona 3 FES Dictionary Entry
Social Links, known as Community (コミュニティ) in the Japanese versions and often abbreviated as "Commu" (コミュ), are an important gameplay mechanic that appears in the later Persona games. Each Social Link represents a single Arcana, and raising a particular Social Link increases the experience bonus the protagonists receive when they fuse personas of that Arcana. By completing a Social Link, it unlocks the ultimate persona of that Arcana. Social Links can, however, be reversed if players do not spend time with the respective people holding the Link, end up booking two holiday invitations on one day, or gave an improper answer during their conversations. The reverse effect will also continue to last until the protagonist reconciles with them. At some point a Social Link can even be broken, prohibiting the protagonist from fusing personas from the respective Arcana.
Persona 3Edit
The Social Link system was first introduced in Persona 3. The whole purpose of the Social Link at this point was to give considerable amounts of experience to newly-fused persona and unlock new ones.
Social links in Portable function in the same manner as Persona 3 with some new additions based on the system in Persona 4. Like Persona 4, the protagonist's team members can gain special abilities, such as taking a mortal blow, follow-up attacks, and a chance to survive a fatal attack once per fight. However, unlike Persona 4, these abilities are automatically earned for all members when the player ranks up the Fool Social Link (which is automatic throughout the game), rather than from each individual party member's Social Link events.
Persona 4Edit
Social Links play a larger role in Persona 4, where the protagonist's Social Links with his friends are directly related to their battle factor. For example, a level one Magician Arcana Social Link allows Yosuke Hanamura to take a mortal blow for the protagonist that would normally kill him. Maxing out the Magician Arcana Social Link transfigures Yosuke's initial persona, Jiraiya to Susano-O, granting improved elemental resistances.
Margaret advises the protagonist to balance his time of venturing into the Midnight Channel with his spending time with his friends, as Social Links are what create the protagonist's 'World'. Later, the Social Links created by the protagonist with others play an important role in the "True Ending" route.
In Golden, S.Links with teammates also give new skills to the persona of that teammate when the link reaches some certain level (2,4,6 etc), and some functions of the S.Link are moved to higher levels (e.g., taking mortal blow is moved to level 9).

The Social Links in Golden remain the same, except for the addition of 2 new Links.
- The Social Link in the Persona series can be viewed as a romance mechanic for some players.
- In Tarot readings, the Death card is seen as a turning point in the deck, because all Arcana that appear after it feature celestial symbols. This superiority of the other Arcana, starting with Temperance, appears in Persona 3 where every Social Link of these Arcana can be initiated after a "flag" given by another Social Link character, or by a special event revolving around another Social Link : Temperance-Hierophant, Devil-Hermit, Tower-Strength, Star-Chariot, Moon-Magician, Sun-Hanged Man.

Nice room
Smelled like cigarette smoke.
no computer for guests in lobby
Convenient off highway. Easy parking. Close to Cracker Barrel, Tim Hortons and other restaurants. Clean rooms. No wall to wall carpet. Their beds are super comfortable! No greedy extra charge for dogs! Coffee in lobby.
Bath towels could use some softener! Ice machine is a little inconvenient but no big deal.
The location, close to the highway was excellent since we were looking for a stop on our long way back home
The indication to find the hotel are rather poor.
It was comfortable, super clean. I liked that it didn't have carpet. It was updated and sleek. I saw reviews that rated this motel as excellent and I agree wholeheartedly. I don't like staying in motels, but this was very pleasant.
Location Price Cleanliness Updated room Bed
No breakfast
For a motel type stay..I really like that the rooms don't have carpet. Feels much cleaner
Washroom very small
It has been recently renovated, so the room was very clean and comfortable. The location is 4min far from the airport, far from the highway (very silent), and easy to reach - just look at the big sign. Overall, a good place to stay for one night when waiting for the flight.
Green lawns. Quiet setup. Clean rooms.
1st room not too clean, a few flying bugs; A/C very noisy. Husband didn'tsleep well due to allergies. 2nd room much better; however I don'tknow if I would recommend this place.
The room was nice!
No elevator! had a hard time taking my bags up the stairs to the second floor, and no one to help. I got in late at night from the airport.
Room was nicely renovated and quite spacious. Comfortable beds.
Noise from Highway and from room next door through the connecting door. No breakfast. Airconditioning unit with annoying rattle.
Great for what we wanted, clean, comfortable and close to the airport.
upgrade by $20 not worth! bed uncomfortably
Friendly staff comfortable room
This is a very nice hotel for the price. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. Bath was clean. The location was great. There are many restaurants and shopping opportunities for several miles. It is just off Interstate 90 but in a quiet location.
There was no fridge or microwave in the room, making toddler snacks and drinks very limited.
The whole room was in perfect condition and really clean. Everything worked and was obviously fostered. Great mattrass
Internet access was unstable and did not work all the time properly. No automatic log-ing once registered.
newly renovated rooms- welcoming colors and tones. Very friendly staff. Smoke free and quiet.
The room was renovated, very clean, the beds were super comfortable (and I'm a picky sleeper), quiet on the side of the hotel not facing the road, staff was nice, wi-fi was fine, and the price was incredible for the area.
The location is a bit out of the way from shopping, so if that's what you're looking to do, you should have a car (we did, so it wasn't an issue).
Convenient location coming in from Rochester late in the day and heading to Niagara falls the next day. Good price, comfy bed.
Carrying luggage upstairs
The hotel was very close to the venue where we attended a concert and it was easy for us to get to restaurants in the morning and to the thruway.
It was very clean.

Comfortable sleep, otherwise clean and close to shopping and eating places.
There was a rolled up ladies personal product behind the toilet and we killed about 12 ants and the toilet had dark stains under the rim.

Games Review: Ghostbusters:
the Video Game
Friday 19 June 2009
Games based on popular movies are often just cheap cash-ins, but Ghostbusters: the Video Game is a success, capturing the appeal of the films. All four of the original Ghostbusters lend their voice, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis actually wrote the story, and of course it also features that song.With a new story set two years after Ghostbusters II, it is by no means perfect, but nothing beats the feeling of strapping on a Proton Pack and hunting those pesky spirits.

text: Office of Communications U.S. Department of Homeland Security January 31, 2007 Questions and Answers BUILDING AN IMMIGRATION SERVICE FOR THE 21st CENTURY USCIS Fee Adjustments Under the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, applicants and petitioners will see substantially improved service under a new fee structure, with average processing times projected to be reduced by as much as 20 percent by the end of fiscal year 2009. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is proposing to adjust the immigration benefit application and petition fees of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account. The proposal comes after USCIS conducted a comprehensive review of the resources and activities funded by the Account that found that current fees do not reflect the full costs of services the Agency should provide. The proposal outlines USCIS' intended fee schedule which is designed to enhance USCIS' ability to address national security and public safety concerns, prevent and detect fraud, and invest in comprehensive transformation efforts to result in a more efficient and effective organization. It is the policy of the United States government, reflected in OMB Circular A-25, to fully recover the costs of providing benefits and services. The immigration benefits that USCIS confers are extremely valuable, and it is appropriate that prospective immigrants bear the full costs of the services provided. Finally, the proposed adjustment will allow the agency to both sustain the current six-month processing standard and improve upon it by reducing its application processing times by an average of 20 percent over the next two years. BACKGROUND USCIS undertook a careful and comprehensive fee review to revise its application and petition fees in order to ensure it recovers its full business costs. Although USCIS last updated its fees on Oct. 26, 2005, solely based on inflationary increases, the fee review conducted is the agency's first comprehensive review since fiscal year 1998. At that time, fees increased by an average of 76 percent (from $85 to $150). Today, having concluded its fee review, USCIS transmitted its proposed new fee structure to the Federal Register; it will be available for public viewing and comment at www.regulations.gov for a 60-day period beginning February1, 2007. The proposed increases will ensure adequate funding to fully meet the USCIS goals to improve customer service and delivery of benefits, ensure national security and public safety, and meet business modernization needs. The agency will also merge fees for certain applications so that applicants will pay a single fee rather than paying several fees for related services. Under the proposal, the cost to applicants for application and petition fees will now average about $438, an increase of $174 or 66 percent from the current average (when combined with the biometric fee for obtaining applicant fingerprints and photographs). The proposal also raises the biometric fee by $10, to $80. In addition, in the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, USCIS is proposing to eliminate certain interim benefit fees for applicants who apply for adjustment of status to permanent residence. Also, the proposal will exempt www.uscis.gov applicants for humanitarian reasons from paying a fee for certain benefits including T-Nonimmigrant Status (I-914) – Victims of Human Trafficking; and applicants seeking immigrant classification under the Violence Against Women Act. USCIS' current procedure of waiving fees for various classes of applicants, for example those filing for asylum, and members of the U.S. Armed Forces filing for naturalization, will continue. The proposal will also clarify the waiver process by limiting fee waivers to specific situations, including consideration for one's inability to pay. In granting a waiver, USCIS will consider all factors, circumstances, and evidence supplied by the applicant including age, disability, household income, and qualification within the past 180 days for a federal means tested benefit. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: Q: What is the actual increase, and what are some examples of fees that applicants will be paying under this proposed structure? A. The weighted average increase for application and petition fees will be approximately 86 percent. The increase in actual costs to applicants and petitioners will be only 66 percent, however, because applicants for adjustment of status will no longer be required to pay a fee to apply for interim benefits. Specifically, this constitutes an average of $438, an increase of $174 (66 percent) from the current average. Several examples of current and proposed fees for specific applications and petitions include: (1) Application to Replace a Permanent Resident Card (I-90) – current fee is $190; proposed fee is $290; (2) Petition for Alien Fiancé (I-129F) – current fee is $170; proposed fee is $455; (3) Application to Register Permanent Status or Adjust Status (I-485) – current fee is $325; proposed fee is $905 1 ; and (4) Application for Naturalization (N-400) – current fee is $330; proposed fee is $595. Q. When are the new fees effective? A. A proposed rule on the fee adjustments will be published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2007. The proposed rule provides for a 60-day public comment period. After receipt and analysis of the comments, USCIS will draft a final rule reflecting the public input. It is important to note that a proposed rule does not and cannot by itself, raise any immigration benefit application fees. Publication is only the beginning of the regulatory process where an agency announces its intentions to change its current regulations, and solicits public comments on the effect of these changes. Q. Why does USCIS charge fees for immigration benefits? A. Congress created a user fee account for the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in 1988, transforming it into a fee-based agency. USCIS continues to be a fee-based agency. This means that since 1988 the immigration benefit operation has operated under a user fee account instead of receiving appropriated funds for its daily operations. The transition from funds appropriated by Congress to a user fee to support immigration case processing means that the revenue from application fees support the agency's processing of each application. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for the collection of fees at a level that will ensure recovery of the full costs of providing adjudication and naturalization services, including the costs of providing similar services without charge to asylum applicants and certain other immigrants. The fee received must also pay for the infrastructure USCIS must develop and maintain to support case processing, and the administration of the nation's immigration laws. 1 Based on USCIS' analysis, a typical Adjustment of Status applicant pays approximately $800 when taking into account interim benefits over a multi year time period. The proposed increase is only $105 over what they pay today. Page 2 Between FY02 and FY06, USCIS received a subsidy of appropriated funds each year for the specific purpose of backlog elimination. This subsidy of $460 million was needed to address case processing backlogs as well as the insufficiency of the fee schedule. The growth of these backlogs was due in large part to failure to recover the full cost associated with the processing of applications; additional security checks and quality controls imposed following 9/11 that were not accounted for in the existing fee structure. Q. What prompted this comprehensive fee review? A. USCIS conducted its last comprehensive fee review in FY 1998. A 2004 GAO report concluded that the 1998 fee review had not fully covered cost. USCIS has been cognizant of the shortfalls, but wanted to improve services before increasing fees. The current review focused on a careful examination of resources and activities funded by the Immigration Examinations Fee Account, which resulted in finding that the current fees do not reflect current processes or recover the full costs of services that should be provided. The revised fee schedule closes current funding gaps, expands national security and fraud detection initiatives, achieves performance and customer service goals, and reengineers technology and business processes. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer's (CFO) Act requires fees to be reviewed every two years. The Department of Homeland Security began being covered by the CFO Act with the passage of Public Law 108-330, enacted on October 16, 2004. Q: Why doesn't USCIS just phase-in these increases over time to reduce the burden on applicants and petitioners? A. USCIS has marginally increased fees since its last comprehensive fee review in fiscal year 1998, when fees increased approximately 76 percent. The last fee increase accounted solely for inflation on October 26, 2005. The comprehensive fee review has made clear, however, that these marginal increases have not allowed USCIS to meet its mission responsibilities. Since the proposed fees are based on current USCIS costs, phasing in costs would require either an appropriated subsidy to bridge the gap during the phase-in period, or a reduction in services that would result in increased processing times, backlog growth, inability to upgrade technology and modernize systems, and inability to implement security and anti-fraud measures. Q. What are the consequences of not increasing fees? A. First, processing times would increase leading to backlogs which would eventually grow back to levels beyond what the agency faced at the height of its backlog in 2004. USCIS is concerned that the resulting backlogs could cause degraded national security capabilities increasing the vulnerability to fraud and abuse. Specifically, backlogs create significant public safety and national security risks as applicants remain in the U.S. unscreened while their applications are pending. Q. How is it possible for USCIS' costs to increase so significantly? A. Part of the problem, as the GAO concluded in a 2004 report, is that the last major fee restructuring, which was implemented in 1998, did not fully recover USCIS' costs. Furthermore, additional security checks and quality controls imposed after September 11 are not accounted for in the existing fee structure. In developing this proposed rule, USCIS reviewed its recent cost experiences, current service levels, goals for additional services, and various factors allocating costs to particular form types. This rule proposes a fee structure that will allow USCIS to close certain funding gaps, achieve security objectives, modernize its business infrastructure, accomplish performance goals, eliminate problematic incentives, the issuance of interim benefits, and fairly allocate costs. Page 3 Q. What will the $524 million in "additional resource requirements" be use to fund? Why is this necessary and are these one-time costs? A. More than 70 percent of the additional resource requirements in the areas of customer service, security and operations can be directly tied to findings and recommendations identified by external organizations/offices that conducted independent reviews, for example GAO, DHS IG, and the CIS Ombudsman. These resources will be use to improve service delivery, enhance the security and integrity of the immigration system, to include a 20 percent decrease in processing times by fiscal year 2009, and modernize our business infrastructure. The additional resource requirements represent ongoing costs which will allow USCIS to continue to invest in these mission critical areas. USCIS remains committed to reviewing its fee structure every two years and can raise or lower fees based on its findings. Q. In general, why are immigration benefit application fees so large? A. The cost of providing the right benefit to the right person, in an appropriate amount of time and without compromising security is a careful and complex process. The proposed fees not only reflect full cost recovery, but also the complexity of the various immigration and citizenship benefits that USCIS administers. Fees reflect the cost of maintaining operations at a network of 250 domestic and international locations and Application Support Centers for fingerprint/photograph collection. While USCIS has achieved significant process improvements by centralizing certain functions, other functions and applicant interviews are most effectively offered locally. Since September 11, 2001, USCIS' costs to ensure a robust quality assurance function in identifying individual applicants who are a risk to national security or public safety, has grown substantially. USCIS completes more than 135,000 security and background checks daily. It's also important to keep in mind the large number of benefits provided for which there is no charge. USCIS waives the application/petition fee for various classes of applicants/petitioners, e.g., asylum and refugee applicants, and U.S. Armed Forces personnel. Further, the proposed new fee structure will exempt applicants for T nonimmigrant status (Victims of Human Trafficking), or for status under the Violence Against Women Act from paying certain fees. Q. Why did USCIS take so long to conduct a comprehensive fee review? A. USCIS received feedback from various stakeholders that it should improve service levels first before taking on a comprehensive reform of the fee structure. One of those services was to eliminate the backlog without passing that cost on to applicants. USCIS met that challenge on time at the end of fiscal year 2006. In January 2004, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) Report in January 2004 concluded that the "fees were not sufficient to fully fund [US] CIS' operations." GAO stated that "[i]n part, this has resulted because (1) the current fee schedule is based on an outdated fee study that did not include all costs of [US]CIS' operations and (2) costs have increased since that study was completed due to an additional processing requirement and other actions." GAO recommended that USCIS "perform a comprehensive fee study to determine the costs to process new immigration applications." The fee review that is the basis for the proposed fees in this rule addresses that recommendation. In addition, since fee revenues have been insufficient to recover full operating costs, USCIS has been forced to rely on funding from temporary programs, to use premium processing funds for base infrastructure rather than for major business infrastructure improvements to the adjudication and customer-service processes, and to use fees from pending applications to fund applications being Page 4 processed. This insufficiency has delayed necessary investment in a new technology and business process platform to substantially improve USCIS' capabilities and service levels-the purpose originally envisioned by Congress when it first established the premium-processing program. Q. What if an applicant/petitioner cannot afford the fee? A. USCIS has historically waived the application/petition fee for entire classes of applicants. For example, there is no fee for filing an application for asylum, nor for members of the U.S. Armed Forces filing for naturalization. USCIS also has the ability to waive fees on a case-by-case basis for "inability to pay." USCIS considers waiving the fee for a single individual based on his or her circumstances when all others in similar circumstances applying for the same benefit or service must pay the fee. In determining "inability to pay", USCIS officers consider all factors, circumstances, and evidence supplied by the applicant including age, disability, household income, and qualification within the past 180 days for a federal means tested benefit. In tandem with the proposed increase in fees, USCIS proposes to modify and clarify eligibility for an individual fee waiver. Individual fee waiver requests have been rising, both in terms of total volume and as a percentage of applications filed. The process of considering a fee waiver request itself has a significant associated adjudication cost. Since USCIS is funded from application fees, a fee waiver transfers the cost to all other fee-paying applicants. Fairness requires that there be compelling reasons when granting an individual fee waiver to one applicant while making others applying for the same benefit or service pay full cost plus a surcharge to pay for the free service provided to the first customer. This rule clarifies the fee waiver process by limiting fee waivers to certain situations. Specifically, the proposed rule limits the list of applications for which an individual fee waiver based on inability to pay may be granted to the Form I-90; Form I-751; Form I-765; Form I-817; Form N-300; Form N-336; Form N-400; Form N-470; Form N-565; Form N-600; Form N-600k; and the Forms I-290B and motions filed with USCIS. Q. What is the legal authority for USCIS to charge fees? A. USCIS fees are determined under the authority of section 286(m) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which authorizes USCIS to set fees at a level that will recover the full costs of USCIS services, including those provided to some applicants without fee. Q. Will USCIS conduct another fee review? A. Yes. USCIS plans to review fees every two years to ensure that it is recovering the full cost of processing immigration benefit petitions/applications. USCIS is committed to update its fees through a similar analysis at least once every two years. In comparison to fee reviews over the last decade, which essentially made retrospective adjustments on a narrowly calculated fee review, future fee reviews will combine assumptions from recent experiences and incorporate productivity gains resulting from the modernization of USCIS operations (which may allow for cost reductions from new efficiencies) and from prospective activity changes (such as those that may arise from additional security measures or performance changes). Q. Will USCIS continue to raise fees? What is being done to improve efficiencies in the process? A. USCIS continues to seek ways to improve productivity while decreasing costs. USCIS is firmly committed to seeking new ways of doing business and reengineering processes in order to contain costs and pass on the savings to all of its customers. Large portions of this fee restructuring are designed to Page 5 invest revenue in improvements to improve efficiency and effectiveness that will help reduce agency costs. Additionally, for the first time, USCIS has incorporated a productivity measure into the fee model to ensure that productivity gains resulting from automated business processes and better technology will be factored into future fee reviews. Q. You have increased fees before with the promise of improved service. Why is this fee increase any different? A. There are two key differences. First, the clear distinction between this proposed fee schedule and prior fee schedules is that the proposed fee schedule does not simply reflect costs and performance retrospectively, locking USCIS into a revenue stream that at best allows it to maintain the status quo. Instead the proposed fee schedule is designed to provide for an adequate and sustainable level of investment in staff, infrastructure, and processes designed to improve USCIS' ability to administer the nation's immigration laws. Second, the recent temporary infusion of appropriated dollars has allowed USCIS to significantly improve service levels at no additional cost to applicants. Thus tomorrow's customers are not being asked to pay higher fees to allow us to process yesterday's backlogged cases. Rather, they are simply being asked to pay the full cost of processing their application, including costs that help maintain an organization that will continue to achieve ongoing improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. The immigration benefits that USCIS confers are truly valuable and it is appropriate that prospective immigrants bear the full costs of the service provided. Q. Why should applicants and petitioners pay higher fees for an inefficient process? USCIS should first become more efficient with improved service levels before it considers a fee increase. A. USCIS has delayed this comprehensive fee review because we listened to our stakeholders who asked us to improve service levels first. USCIS has already substantially improved service levels, achieving the President's goal of six months processing times for immigration applications in October of 2006. Even in the absence of full funds to do so, USCIS has undertaken to improve its customer service and national security processes. Yet the necessary improvements, which we all seek to meet the agency's mission and enhance our current efforts, cannot be met without the necessary financial resources to permanently improve our business model in an entirely fee-funded environment. Q. What will be the overall impact of this proposed rule? A. USCIS will be better positioned to fully secure the integrity of our immigration system, to improve fraud prevention and detection efforts, and to introduce new national security enhancements to create a fair and equitable immigration system that ensures public safety. Applicants and petitioners will see substantially improved service under a new fee structure, with average processing times projected to be reduced by as much as 20 percent by the end of fiscal year 2009. Secure documents will be delivered faster and customer requests for immigration records will be made more efficient. This effort will be bolstered by USCIS' transformation from its current paper-based data systems into digital processing resources and expanded on-line services, including e-filing and end-to-end electronic processing capabilities. Improvements in service will be more than cosmetic, as our strategy will provide greater access by USCIS customers to office locations and information. Investments to modernize our business infrastructure will fundamentally transform the United States' immigration services for years to come. Information systems will be updated to improve service delivery, expand on-line service options and largely eliminate paper-based processes. Finally, the timeliness of background checks and anti-fraud efforts will be improved by various initiatives, such as expanding name check resolution capabilities and adjusting resources at co-located facilities as required. Page 6 As a result of these improvements, USCIS is poised to begin a new chapter in its critical national mission with an updated fee structure directly corresponding to the growing costs of administering a secure and efficient immigration system for the 21st century. By creating a fair means to ensure the recovery of operational costs, USCIS will fulfill its responsibility to the American people to protect our Nation and maintain the integrity of our national immigration system. Q. Why doesn't USCIS continue to receive appropriated funds instead of receiving fees? A. Congress created a user fee account for the former INS in 1988, transforming it into a fee-based agency. As a fee-based agency, USCIS uses revenue from application fees rather than appropriated funds to pay for the administration of the nation's immigration laws, processing of applications, and the infrastructure needed to support these activities. It is the policy of the United States government, reflected in OMB Circular A-25 to fully recover the cost of providing benefits and services. Congress determines the amount and source of USCIS funds in its annual appropriations legislation, subject to Presidential action on enacted bills. The Administration has directed USCIS to become fully fee funded with respect to its adjudicative activities of immigrant petitions. This allows the business costs to be supported by its consumers. Q. How may I provide comments on the proposed fee increases? A. To comment on the proposed rule, USCIS requests the public to submit written comments by one of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.

Music Video: Thom Yorke "A Brain In A Bottle"Music // Wednesday, October 01, 2014
We don't think Thom Yorke likes doing pre-press to announce his albums. Sure, he likes the BitTorrent route he went with his new LP, "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes," and he likes the idea of getting rid of middle men and giving artists the chance to make their own money from their art and craft, but I'm convinced he wants to avoid talking to music journalists every few years to talk shop. So we get an unexpected album, and we get a glitchy video of Thom with boxing gloves for the opening track "A Brain In A Bottle," and all is good.
