What GAO Found
Interior has taken some steps intended to help ensure a fair return on federal oil and gas resources but does not have documented procedures for periodically conducting assessments of the fiscal system. Specifically, Interior has taken the following steps:
- Changed offshore lease terms and considered but has not changed onshore lease terms. Interior changed certain offshore lease terms-- including raising royalty rates twice in response to changing market conditions. For onshore resources, which are subject to many of the same market conditions, Interior has considered but not made changes to royalty rates. Interior officials are currently unable to make timely adjustments to onshore royalty rates. Current regulations generally provide for a fixed onshore royalty rate that limits Interior's flexibility to make timely adjustments.
- Contracted for studies of various aspects of the fiscal system. Interior contracted for three studies examining its fiscal system including a study done in 2011, in response to GAO's September 2008 report that compared the U.S. government's oil and gas fiscal system to other resource owners. Interior officials said the reports provided some useful information such as how fiscal terms in the United States compared to other resource owners.
- Interior is examining potential regulatory changes that could simplify royalty payments. Interior is examining potential regulatory changes that could simplify royalty payments. GAO found in the past that complex valuation regulations can result in inaccurate royalty payments made by industry, and this could increase costs to ensure accurate royalty payments because of the need for potentially detailed and timeconsuming audits of records. In May 2011, Interior published the Advance Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking for a proposed rule currently undergoing internal review. According to officials, the proposed rule is expected to be published in 2014, and officials explained that it took several years due to factors including the complexity of oil and gas valuation.
Interior does not have documented procedures in place for determining when to conduct periodic assessments of the fiscal system. Although Interior recently contracted for such an assessment, it was the first in well over 25 years. Without documented procedures, Interior will not have reasonable assurance that it will consistently conduct such assessments in the future and, without periodically conducting such assessments, Interior cannot know whether there is a proper balance between the attractiveness of federal leases for investment and appropriate returns for federal oil and gas resources, limiting Interior's ability to ensure a fair return. Further, Interior does not have documented procedures for determining whether and how to make changes to new offshore lease terms. Without documented procedures for determining whether and how to make changes to new offshore lease terms, Interior's rationale is not transparent and may result in inconsistent decisions. Such inconsistencies would undermine Interior's credibility and ability to better ensure a fair return on federal oil and gas resources.
Why GAO Did This Study
In fiscal year 2012, companies received over $66 billion from the sale of oil and gas produced from federal lands and waters, and they paid $10 billion to the federal government for developing these resources according to the Department of the Interior. The federal government seeks a fair return on its share of revenue from leasing and production activities on federal lands and waters through the federal oil and gas fiscal system. Under the fiscal system, companies pay royalties, rents, and other payments--payments generally specified in lease terms-- and taxes on profits from the sale of oil and gas produced from federal leases. In May 2007, GAO found, based on several studies, that the government received one of the lowest percentages of value of oil and gas produced in the world. In September 2008, GAO found that Interior had not evaluated the federal oil and gas fiscal system for over 25 years and recommended that a periodic assessment was needed.
GAO was asked to review Interior's collection of oil and gas revenues. This report examines steps Interior has taken to ensure the public receives a fair return on oil and gas resources since 2007. GAO reviewed applicable law and regulations; examined prior GAO studies, Interior policies and documents; and interviewed officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommendations include that Interior establish documented procedures for (1) periodically assessing the fiscal system and (2) determining whether and how to change new offshore lease terms. Interior concurred with GAO's recommendations.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To better ensure that the government receives a fair return on its oil and gas resources, the Secretary of the Interior should take steps, within existing authority, to revise Bureau of Land Management's regulations to provide for flexibility to the bureau to make changes to onshore royalty rates, similar to that which is already available for offshore leases, to enhance Interior's ability to make timely adjustments to the terms for federal onshore leases.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To better ensure that the government receives a fair return on its oil and gas resources, the Secretary of the Interior should establish documented procedures for determining when to conduct periodic assessments of the overall fiscal system. Such procedures should identify generally when such an assessment should be done or what changes in the market or industry would signal that such an assessment should be done. Additionally, the assessment should include determining how the government's share of revenue from the federal oil and gas fiscal system and the attractiveness for oil and gas investors in each federal oil and gas region compare with those of other resource owners.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2015, Interior reported that it had established documented procedures related to examining and adjusting fiscal terms for offshore lease sales. Specifically, Interior documents lay out a 6 step, one-year, process for examining fiscal terms in advance of lease sales. Additionally, should Interior elect to make adjustments to existing fiscal terms, it will document its justification in a report and provide it to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's Director. The Director will then decide whether to revise the fiscal terms for the offshore lease sale.
Recommendation: To better ensure that the government receives a fair return on its oil and gas resources, the Secretary of the Interior should establish documented procedures for determining whether and how to adjust lease terms for new offshore leases, including documenting the justification and analysis supporting any adjustments.

Tours 4 Sport organises tailor-made school rugby tours, tournaments and pre-season training camps which are specifically created to work around your team's ability and budget. We have organised rugby tours across the Southern Hemisphere, USA and Canada, as well as throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe. Our rugby tour managers are all players and coaches themselves, and bring this same passion and knowledge of the game to the organisation of your tour, to make sure that your team has the best possible experience.
We organise once-in-a-lifetime long-haul rugby tours to all the major test nations, such as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand or Argentina, to experience challenging rugby combined with different histories, cultures, landscapes and wildlife. We also run tours on both the East and West coasts of Canada, which, whilst they remain behind in the international stakes, do have a large number of junior sides who welcome the chance to play touring rugby teams.
Europe may be closer to home but it still offers very competitive rugby and a wide range of beautiful destinations. Our European rugby tours travel by both coach and air, making an international rugby tour accessible to all. The South of France remains the ultimate European rugby experience, but we also offer great quality tours and rugby tournaments in Spain, Portugal and Italy, as well as the opportunity to travel by coach to Northern France, Belgium, Holland and Ireland. We have an excellent range of rugby tour destinations around the UK for those teams looking for a short trip away, and even offer a unique range of pre-season rugby training breaks for schools looking to prepare their squads in August.

What are Acronyms?
The term acronym is used to describe words formed from the first letters of other words. Examples are CEO (Chief Executive Officer) or ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). These examples are actually initialisms rather than acronyms (the difference is explained at the end of this article), but most people do not make the distinction in everyday conversation.
Many acronyms are used in computing such as WWW (World Wide Web) and PC (Personal Computer). Acronyms have also become a common means of expression in online communication. In order to speed up the typing of long phrases, a whole subset of language has arisen to make texting, chatting, and instant messaging easier. This kind of acronym use is especially common among kids and teens.
Concerns for Parents
- The acronyms commonly used in texting and instant messaging are part of your child's vocabulary. One of the keys to keeping kids safe while using technology is to be aware of what they are doing online. How can you monitor their email, texting, and chatting if you don't understand much of what your kids are saying? See what you can make of the message below:
lol! omh thx! w8, ru gonna b thr tom?
And that's an easy one.
- Along those same lines, many acronyms aren't as innocent as "laughing out loud" or "by the way." Some acronyms are explicitly sexual or part of a code to keep you in the dark as to what your kids are up to online.
- PAL = parents are listening
- POS = parents over shoulder
- KPC = keeping parents clueless
- NIFOC= nude in front of computer
How Can I Keep My Child Safe?
- Not all acronyms are dirty and the use of acronyms is not inherently bad. But if you don't know the first thing about them (and your kids are aware of how painfully little you know), your children may use acronyms as a means to keep their online communication secret. You need to have basic acronym literacy--or know where to go to look them up--if you see something you don't recognize in your kids' online communication.
- For an extensive and searchable list of acronyms and other common terms used online, try Urban Dictionary.
- See the Common Acronym List for a partial compilation of common acronyms your child may be using.
- Use sites and features such as LG Dtxtr, Sharpened.net, Teen Chat Decoder or NetLingo to search acronyms you may not understand.
Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Initialisms
An abbreviation is any shortened version of a word or phrase, used to represent the entire, longer version. [1] Thus, LOL, FBI, and NASA are all abbreviations.
An acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word rather than as individual letters. NASA, NASCAR, OPEC, and NATO are all acronyms while YMCA and NYPD are not.
An initialism is an abbreviation made up of letters that are pronounced one at a time; initialisms are not pronounced as words. [2] This means that both FBI and LOL (as well as YMCA and NYPD) are initialisms, not acronyms. [3]

The World from A to Z
Like throwing spaghetti pasta against the wall, sometimes you have to throw a theme out into the world ether to see if it sticks. On this week's World Music Show (12/7), I'll do just that. And from the looks of it, I think this theme will be a winner. In a matter of just two hours, we're going to travel the world from A to Z, musically speaking of course. With 26 letters to get through, will there be enough time? Or will a letter and song be left out in the cold like a dangling participle? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Aerial Assault Armor sketch by InspectornillsWatch
©2009-2016 Inspectornills
hehe, I finally decided on trying to think up Amber's power armor. I drew it before but decided to make some changes. Its based off of Orbital Frames from ZOE and the Vulture from Spiderman: Web of Shadows. Her wings, which are segmented into 20 wing binders, are each able to connect together to form her wings and can hold 1 ordinance each ranging from anti-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles or bombs. Besides the missiles/bombs, her only other weapons are the miniature particle beam cannon on her helmet (which takes 30 minutes to recharge after firing) and a pike. =3

ill be you fitness pal buddy!!!
once i get over the flu i will log on.
i am nerys72 on their (amazingly someone has both nerys and nerys71 which is double amazing!)
Wow, someone responded. I just sent a friend request.
Now, I haven't been setting the fitnesspal world on fire the past week (Don't diary when I'm sick), but this might get me back on the wagon.
Apologies to CJ C - someone ELSE responded.
Bump. I'm enjoying looking at Nerys' diary, it's motivating.
Anyone else on myfitnesspal want to be my buddy
I a down a minimum 15 pounds. I hope it sticks and continues at something close to this rate. not too much riding this week sadly. lots of rain and back aches and work. will get some in this week. I want to try and ride 30 miles this week.
I say minimum 15 because I really have no idea how much I weighed when I started. I know for certain I was more than a couple pounds over 450 since that is the max of the scale I tried and even resting my arm on the shelf did not lower my mass enough to register (still error'd)
but now I have a scale that can weigh me so good to go for now. I will try and weigh myself no more than once a week.
Sure...what the heck.
My diet is pretty straightforward and boring, particularly on the days I work. I'm a creature of habit, and will eat the same thing day in and day out (with the occasional treat/mini-binge once a week if I've been good). If it weren't for the fact that I'm married with kids, I'd probably eat the same things for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day until I die.
hey that's the spirit.

Perhaps the most controversial pick on this list. Yes, puppies are adorable. Yes Budweiser Clydesdales are majestic. Yes, it won the USA Today Ad Meter poll. But this heartwarming advertisement hides a weird message. When set to Passenger's 'Let Her Go' this goes from a cute animal friendship to a story of a horse and his seriously underaged lover.

Scott Reynolds wrote and directed this artistic, imaginative, yet surprisingly unknown Aussie slasher flick about Simon Cartwright (Paolo Rotundo). Simon is an incarcerated serial killer who has requested that newly famous psychiatrist Dr. Schumaker (Rebecca Hobbs) re-evaluate him. You get to see Simon's troubled childhood and previous murders through flashbacks as Dr. Schumaker searches for the reason behind his insanity. One begins to feel a kind of pity for Simon when we see how his hand is forced by the dark power known only as The Ugly. The ending has a twist, and is somewhat hard for most people to draw a conclusion from. However, this is definately a must see film, and one of my personal favorites.
About The Ugly (1997)
Year: 1997
Starring: Scott Wills, Chris Bailey, Rebecca Hobbs, Roy Ward, Katrina Browne, Jon Brazier, Tim Barlow, Darien Takle, Gary Mackay, Shane Bessant, Cath McWhirter, Yvonne Dudman, Carolyn Beaver, Frances Chan, Caelem Pope, Jenny Rushton, Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Matt Cornelius, Finn Johnsen, Hugh D'Calveley, Phillip Brown, Michael Dwyer, Tau Luke, Steve Hall, Sara Pivac, Sam Wallace, Vanessa Byrnes, Aaron Buskin, David Baxter, Paolo Rotondo

The sudden announcement Monday that Apple's chief executive will take a medical leave for the third time in less than a decade raises anxieties about the leadership of the company he helped found more than three decades ago.
For many people, Apple would not be Apple without Steve Jobs.
The sudden announcement Monday that the company's chief executive will take a medical leave for the third time in less than a decade raises anxieties about the leadership of the company he helped found more than three decades ago. The news also puts the spotlight again on several senior executives who have been helping Jobs run the firm.
Jobs, who has battled cancer for years, told employees in an e-mail that he is taking another medical leave and that Apple's chief operating officer, Tim Cook, will take over day-to-day leadership of the company, a role he has played previously. Jobs said he will remain as CEO.
Wall Street was closed for the Martin Luther King Day holiday, but the news — one day before the company was to announce its first-quarter financial results — sent Nasdaq-100 Index stock futures tumbling, along with shares traded in Germany.

Most Read Stories
According to recent reports, Jobs, 55, has appeared increasingly frail, according to people who have seen him. The problems are linked to his previous battle with cancer and a subsequent liver transplant, according to Bloomberg News, which cited a person with knowledge of the situation. Jobs has been unable to retain weight and is susceptible to colds and flu, this person said. He recently has limited office visits to once or twice a week.
Jobs' last major public appearance was at an Apple event in San Francisco in early September. There were no hints of his waning health at the time.
In 2004, Jobs disclosed that he had been diagnosed with this rare form of pancreatic cancer and had been treated with surgery — and told he was cured.
Five years later, he had his liver removed and received a transplant, indicating the cancer had metastasized. The liver is the most common place for pancreatic cancers to spread, because blood flows from one organ to the other.
Doctors reiterated that Jobs' rare type of disease, called neuroendocrine cancer, is known to be slow-growing and even treatable. And complications related to liver transplants, such as infection and duct blockage, often can be fixed. But both pose substantial lifelong risk.
Two years ago, Apple told investors that Jobs was stepping away from the company to receive hormone treatments. After his return, the company disclosed that his condition actually had been far more acute and that he had undergone a liver transplant.
Shortly after that revelation, the Securities and Exchange Commission started an inquiry into whether Apple appropriately disclosed the nature of his illness. The SEC has declined to comment on the investigation.
The latest apparent medical setback for Jobs comes with the company at its pinnacle. Apple's market capitalization surpassed that of Microsoft last year — making Apple the most valuable property in the tech universe. The company broke quarterly revenue and profit records four consecutive times during its just-completed fiscal year.
In 2007, the Jobs-led Apple introduced the iPhone, which revolutionized the smartphone industry, an area in which the Cupertino, Calif., company never had competed. The company last year launched the iPad, a new computing device that has triggered a stampede of competitors who are rolling out copycat tablets.
Yet, Google's Android platform is now more popular than Apple's iPhone, according to research companies ComScore and Nielsen. Samsung's Galaxy Tab already is battling the iPad on the market, and more than 80 new touch-screen computers were unveiled at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Whether Jobs returns, as he said he hoped to, or does not, as some investors fear, most experts believe he will be hard to replace, despite Apple's strong executive team.
"The company could not thrive if Steve didn't have an extremely talented team around him," said David Yoffie, a Harvard Business School professor who has studied the technology industry for decades. "But you can't replace Steve on some levels."
Yoffie and others said Jobs' creativity, obsession with a product's design and function, and management style, as well as the force of his personality, were unusual, not only in Silicon Valley but also in American business. They said that it would take several people with different skills to fill Jobs' shoes.
As in a five-month leave in 2009, Jobs is leaving Cook in charge. His performance during that time provides a heavy dose of reassurance for nervous investors.
Cook, who joined Apple nearly 13 years ago and is otherwise responsible for the company's worldwide sales and operations, steered the company successfully and kept the development of products such as the iPhone 4 and the iPad on track, increased Macintosh computer sales and improved Apple's financial performance during an economic downturn.
While Apple shares dipped when Jobs announced the 2009 leave, they rallied strongly under Cook.
While Jobs has remained intimately involved in the company despite his health, Cook's responsibilities, and his position as apparent heir to Jobs, have strengthened.
"I was with Tim Cook last week in New York, and I walked away from that thinking, 'This guy is more in charge and more in control of Apple than I think people understand,' " said Tim Bajarin, a Creative Strategies analyst who has followed Apple for nearly three decades. Like Jobs, Cook is obsessed with details and involved in minute elements of the business, analysts said.
"Tim is obsessive about operational detail, and Steve is obsessive about product detail," said Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray.
A handful of other executives, whose roles are complementary to that of Cook's, also are expected to see their profiles rise in Jobs' absence. They include Jonathan Ive, a London-born designer who is Apple's senior vice president for industrial design and close to Jobs.
"He's arguably the most important person there outside of Steve," said Shaw Wu, an analyst at Kaufman Brothers. "He's responsible for the look and feel of the products, the way they interact with users."
Philip Schiller, the marketing chief, took over as Apple's chief showman during Jobs' previous leave, taking the stage at events typically headlined by Jobs. Among other products, Schiller unveiled the iPhone 3GS as well as an updated line of MacBook Pro laptops.
And Scott Forstall, senior vice president for iPhone software, is believed to have an increasingly influential role as software becomes the distinguishing factor on phones and tablets. He has been behind Apple's push to unify the software that powers its mobile devices and its Macintosh computers.
One area where Jobs' influence will be hard to replace is at the negotiating table. He has sought to sway many through the strength of his personality, for instance, playing a direct role in persuading media companies to make their content available on Apple's products. That role is increasingly important, as Apple seeks to become an even bigger power in media distribution.
Jobs has some recent victories on that front; for instance, when The Beatles agreed to sell their music on iTunes. He also persuaded Disney and News Corp. to make some television shows available for 99 cents through the Apple TV device.
"When Steve talks, people listen," Harvard Business School's Yoffie said. "It would be hard for anyone in the industry to have a comparable level of influence."
No one expects Apple to suffer in the short term, as the company has a long product cycle. But some raise questions as to what will happen over the long term if Jobs does not return.
"The problem, really at the core," Piper Jaffray's Munster said, "is that Steve Jobs' inspiration is irreplaceable."
Information from the Los Angeles Times is included in this report.

today is good example why you should not trade this stock... up nearly $2 all day on 23oK vol...very hard to buy even 10k order.
the swings have made me plenty on GHDX.I own Long and trading shares and the trading shares show 30% more profit in the same period of time.Different strokes for different folks,but I assure you the Baker Bros are all over the trades here making it very easy to trade.The 38% retracement was almost text book perfect and so the 20% swing added an additional 5% profit to my long term shares.There is more than one trader here. Good Luck
post the right number sooner next time! Fine trade indeed.

I did my first 2x20 anaerobic threshold test with HR and need some help quantifying the numbers, first a little background.
Riding for two seasons, the first season on a single speed casually, last season much more seriously on a road bike(hadn't ridden a bike prior since i was probably 12 or 13 yo) .
Test was done on kreitler 4.5 dia. rollers with resistance fly wheel, new belts.
I'm 29, 5'10.5" 130+/-2lbs and I do have a weekly training regiment(indoors, winter here) that includes intervals, tempo, and endurance on the rollers with light weight training mixed in(two non-riding days).
I'm putting all the numbers so it will be easier for you to see where I'm at.
10 min warm up
#1 20min
Max HR-181
Avg HR-176
Avg mph-25.98
max mph-27.73
5 min recovery.
#2 20min
Max HR-183
Avg HR-175
Avg mph-25.48
Max mph-27.96
Mph is kept for cadence purposes since my computer doesn't have that function. My estimated cadence was ~108 at 26.5mph which is where I tried to keep my effort. I was working hard the whole time but the last 5 min were ruff, the last 2 min of #2 I almost quit, the last min I excepted the pain and that's where the max mph of 27.96 was hit.
Is 183 my anaerobic threshold HR? If not, how would I calculate?
Is there a difference between LT and AT HR?
Note: I plan on racing this season and need a more structured way to train, also, Im getting powertap soon and I want to try to combine power and HR based training so I figured I'd get started.
This racing season will be purely learning and training. Take it slow now to go fast later.
Thank you in advance for any information that might be useful.

Please Advise: A wine for my mom?
I found really cute Christmas wine charms that I would like to give my mom as a present this holiday, but I would also like to buy a bottle of wine to go with them (I am working backwards, I guess). She really likes Beaujolis-Villlages from George Duboeuf (pictured) but we have several bottles in the house. Can anyone recommend a similar wine or something new to try? Thanks, and happy holidays!

Super Mario Kart And Mega Man 5 Hit Nintendo Virtual Console This Week
By Ryan Winslett 2 years ago comments
Its another slow summer week in the Nintendo camp, but at least the Wii U is getting a pair of pretty sweet Virtual Console games featuring a kart racing plumber and the Blue Bomber himself, Mega Man.
This week is all about the Virtual Console for Nintendo platforms, with six old school games spread out between the 3DS and Wii U, and a bit of DLC for the free-to-play portable combat game, Steel Diver: Sub Wars. Other than a couple of eShop sales, thats literally all there is in the new games category for fans to sink their teeth into. If you arent in the mood for some nostalgia, then well see you back here next week, hopefully with some better news.
If, however, youre in the market for some Nintendo classics, then theres plenty to be jazzed about this week on both consoles.
First up is the Wii U, which is getting Cybernator, Life Force and Double Dragon II, only one of which the vast majority of you have likely actually heard of.
Also arriving this week is Super Mario Kart, the Virtual Console version of the Super Nintendo game that launched the huge franchise thats still drawing in loads of fans and cutting promotional deals with major automobile manufacturers.
Super Mario Kart first launched on the Super NES in Japan on Aug. 27, 1992, and is releasing now on the Virtual Console in celebration of the games upcoming 22nd anniversary, reads a statement from Nintendo, simultaneously making many a gamer cheer with excitement and groan with an overwhelming sense of Oh my god, am I really that old?! The classic game offers crazy tracks that will test your gears in two single-player modes and three multiplayer modes. Use power-ups and gain the advantage to finish in first place.
Also arriving on the Wii U Virtual Console is the legendary Mega Man 5. It turns out that Nintendo has partnered up with Capcom for the month of August in order to bring new content featuring the Blue Bomber to the Wii U over the next several weeks. Things kick off with Mega Man 5, offering up 13 tough-as-nails stages for players to master on their quest to overthrow the diabolical Dr. Willy.
Things are a lot more tame on the 3DS this week, with the Virtual Console version of The Mysterious Murasame Castle being the only new game arriving for the portable device. Steel Diver: Sub Wars is also getting some new DLC, boasting new stages, subs and crew members for players to take into battle.
Finally, there are a couple of sales for gamers to take advantage of, including a discounted price of $1.99 for Bear Box Media on the Wii U eShop and discounts on UFO Interactive Games titles for the 3DS.

Graduates with double degrees in commerce and technology are highly sought after by employers.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is considered a standard full time load for one year. Each unit you study has an EFTSL value. You can add these together to calculate your study load each year. Depending on enrolment, you may be enrolled in more than or less than the one EFTSL each year.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
Under the present legislation, a Commonwealth supported place is one for which the University receives some Government funding. Students enrolled in these places are required to contribute part of their course costs. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your study.
Full-fee paying (FFP)
A full-fee paying place is one which the University does not receive any Government funding. Students enrolled in these places contribute the full cost of their course.
Domestic full-fee paying places are available to Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
Fee information for all domestic students
The current Federal Government has proposed a number of major reforms for the higher education sector (see the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014), including fee deregulation in respect of domestic student fees. This legislation may be reintroduced to the parliament in the latter half of 2015 and if passed, will impact on the CSP and FFP course fees applicable in 2016.
* Therefore, the indicative annual course fee shown is provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking full-time study within the specified discipline. The 2016 CSP and FFP course fees may change if the Commonwealth Government's proposed fee deregulation and reforms legislation is passed.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University, will depend on the individual unit discipline and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search. Should a change in Government policy affect the cost of units offered, the website will be updated as soon as possible.
The fees per unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
This information is provided as a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fees to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email email@example.com au for more information about 2016 fees.

Prior to a 2 month hiatus, the EU BICI series travels to (arguably) Northern Europe's best cycling success story: Odense.
Last of the Mohicans has fallen
The last of the mohicans has fallen. My colleague, David Levinson, told me,
"how can you expect to be a self-respecting and authoritative voice on the future of urban transport if you don't own a smart phone?"
Owing to this and other complications, I just acquired my first cell phone in 43 years. Based on 24 hours of use, I have three semi-philosophical observations:
1. We (as a society) have the lost the art of planning (e.g., where should we meet? It does not matter, I will text you).
2. No one asks for directions anymore; our ability to accurately give them is probably at an all-time low as well (not that it was anything great to begin with).
3. No one talks on the phone anymore, socially. We have seemingly moved to texting for all socially related interpersonal communication when physical proximity jeopardized (and even then texting seems preferred).
Copenhagen's Cycling Craze | streets.mn
The EU BICI series travels to Denmark's capital city: Copenhagen.
Upon arriving, I was immediately struck by three observations:
- An intersection on the east edge of town carrying 36,000 cyclists per day.
- A feature spread in the daily newspaper highlighting cycle track rage—not between car drivers and cyclists—but between cyclists.
- Public officials informing me of their desire to widen the cycle track standard from 2.5 meters to 3 meters (formerly it was 2.2).
Houten (Holland): Heaven or Hollow? | streets.mn
All things in Houten appear simple, including bike planning.
Dutch Cycling around Delft and The Hague
The 10th post of the EU BICI series looks at Dutch cycling by exploring Delft and the Hague and benefits from the insights of co-author, Peter Furth, Professor of Civil Engineering at Northeastern University and frequent instructor of a sustainable transportation course via TU-Delft.
"With tulips and clogs, bikes are a signature element of the Netherlands—lots of them. Everywhere. It's the only country in the world with more bikes than people. More than anywhere in the world, bicycling here appears to be a form of "mechanically assisted walking." Where residents in other countries might walk for short distances, the Dutch pedal. But because they pedal, their "velo-walking" extends far greater distances than normal walking ever would. Cycling is used as the default mode for short trips like running errands. Except in busy shopping areas, bikes far outnumber pedestrians; cycling is pervasive.
But even in this exceptional national context, people are surprised to learn there is still wide variation in cycling use…"

Padova's (Italy) Cycling Potential | streets.mn
There is reason to believe that Padova—a town with more than 200,000 people in the Veneto region in the north of Italy—is capable of becoming one of the country's best cycling towns…
Here is the next entry in the EU BICI series including: Seville (Spain), Bologna, Ferrara (Italy), Berlin , Munich (Germany), Zurich (Switzerland), and Cambridge (U.K.).
VerDuS congress in Rotterdam
I was invited to participate in the VerDuS programme in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) on June 16-17, in which there were a variety of sessions focussing on:
- Knowledge for Strong Cities
- Sustainable Accessibility of the Randstad
- Urban Regions in the Delta
Here are two photos from the event: one from my presentation and another in conversation with Luca Bertolini.
Bologna's Cycling Struggles and the Potential to Export its Intimacy
Cycling Tradition Dominates in Cambridge (UK) | streets.mn
The EU BICI moves to Cambridge (UK). Other posts available for Seville (Spain), Ferrara (Italy), Berlin , Munich (Germany), and Zurich (Switzerland).
"There is one place in the United Kingdom that reports more than two times as much cycling relative to its closest competitor: Cambridge (~31% of all trips). Many consider this high-tech and bioscience oriented town of 123K people—also home to one of the most prestigious universities in the world—to be the haven for cycling in the U.K. It's easy to rationalize such based on the cycling culture. The overall cycling infrastructure, however, is a different story."

Agendas for change: 1787–1790
'If only the king knew,' sighed country dwellers as they strove to overcome the hurdles of day-to-day life. At least, this is the remark recorded by Auget de Montyon — one-time intendant and enlightened councillor of state to Louis XVI — in jottings intended to become a study of the 'science of administration'.1 But of course the king does know, he replied to himself, and it is a vulgar error to suppose otherwise. For as long as the ordinary inhabitants of town and country continued to believe that the System could not change, only the relative position of individuals within it, the fiction of absolute monarchy faced no serious challenge from below. The present chapter is intended to show how this fiction became dangerously exposed at the level of the village. The aim is to explore the conceptual underpinnings of established authority in the hope of providing an answer to the question: 'How did the sense of a definitive break with the past come about?'
Although the notion of 'agendas' sounds rather modern and formal, it will enable us to highlight the contingent and interactive quality of popular grievances and ambitions. The compilation of the cahiers de doléances in nearly every rural parish served to fix those grievances and necessarily fixes the historian's attention. But popular aspirations for reform did not appear from nowhere in the late winter of 1789; nor did they remain unchanged thereafter. Cahier drafting was an important moment in an on-going process that began when Controller General Calonne summoned an Assembly of Notables to consider a range of far-reaching alterations to the fabric of monarchy, and only ended with the successful installation of replacement institutions of local government some three years later. During these years the familiar ancien régime died in the minds of villagers, and gradually — perhaps more gradually than is usually allowed — something new took its place. This process, in which the convening of parish assemblies in order to formulate and focus opinion in readiness for the Estates General is merely____________________

H.S. FOOTBALL: Delaware Valley starts slow, rolls past Valley View
MILFORD - After a slow start, Delaware Valley picked up speed.
And once the top-ranked Warriors started building momentum, they rolled to a 49-18 win over No. 7 Valley View in a Division I game at Warrior Stadium.
Delaware Valley's win sets up a Week 8 showdown with second-ranked Scranton, which defeated North Pocono, 54-12, on Friday.
The Cougars (1-3, 4-3) started the game with a punishing rushing attack that dominated the early going. RaeKwon Patrick ran for a pair of touchdowns as Valley View built a 12-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
"I thought we played very soft in the first half defensively and we did not come off the ball which is a bad equation when you play any Valley View team," Delaware Valley coach Keith Olsommer said. "They come off the ball and they come after you. (Patrick) is a handful once he gets going downhill."
Delaware Valley (4-0, 7-0) responded quickly when Bryan Schor hit Nick McIntyre for a 61-yard touchdown pass on the Warriors' first play after Patrick's second score. The extra point cut the lead to 12-7.
The Warriors took the lead on a 1-yard run by Nick Harford, but Valley View answered right back when Brandon Ossont scored on a 15-yard run. Delaware Valley got the lead back on a 2-yard run by Schor to give the Warriors a 21-18 lead at halftime.
"I just don't think we played well defensively in the first half and to their credit they took it to us," Olsommer said. "We were lucky that we executed and made some things happen offensively to take the lead at halftime and then I thought that momentum carried us into the second half."
Joe Santiago's 65-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half increased the Warriors' lead to 10.
After an interception by Kyle Clark, Schor scored on an 18-yard run late in the third quarter and then hit Connor Decker for a pair of touchdowns early in the fourth quarter as Delaware Valley pulled away.
Schor finished with 260 yards passing, three touchdowns through the air and two on the ground while Decker caught three passes for 118 yards and the two scores.
"Bryan is really good," Decker said. "He puts the ball where it needs to be and if we run good routes, he'll do the rest. In the first half, they were kind of manhandling us physically but in the second half we came out and our line did a lot better and we did what we can do."

Heian Period (794-1185)
As the intensity of Japanese cultural borrowing from T'ang China diminished, partly as a result of the cessation of official embassies to the T'ang court, the all-pervading Chinese influence upon the arts gradually gave way to an increasingly original and unmistakably Japanese style. Heralding this new era was the transfer of the capital in 794 from Nara to Heian-kyō (modern Kyoto), specifically for the purpose of renewing the vitality of the country. The winds of change blew gently through the world of design as well, although some time was to pass before distinctly innovative motifs appeared. Thus, the early Heian period should be seen as a time of transition, during which design formats were still steeped in the Chinese inheritance from the Nara period but were beginning to evolve toward independent and more authentically Japanese forms of expression.
The design characteristics of the transitional period are clearly to be seen in the patterns that adorn the miniature shrine in the Mandala Hall of the Taimadera temple in Nara Prefecture. The shrine was made in 763 to house a tapestry representing the Paradise of Amida which is the chief object of worship in the temple. The surfaces of the shrine are decorated in gold and silver tempera with Nara-type motifs including kōsōge, butterflies, phoenixes, long-tailed birds, pheasants, ducks, sun and moon, and landscapes (Plate 34).
