...Iroquois Indians and Lacrosse Lacrosse is a sport played worldwide and is centerpiece of the Iroquois Indian culture. This sport involves using a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick called a crosse (aka lacrosse stick) and because this is a contact sport, it requires padding. The head of the lacrosse stick is strung with loose mesh that is designed to catch and hold the lacrosse ball. The object of the game is to score by shooting the call into the opponent’s goal. The stick can be used to catch, carry, and pass the ball. This game was introduced in 1750 by the Mohawk tribe. Iroquois loved to play lacrosse because it was a source of entertainment, physical conditioning, and it was also a religious celebration as a way to honor the Creator. One of the highly celebrated traditions goes back to the Iroquois Confederacy where young warriors staged a lacrosse game for one of the league founders, Hayewat-ha, to console him for the loss of his children. Not only is lacrosse played to please the Creator but also is a rite that is sacred to the Thunders, the seven honored grandfathers who move across the sky from west to east cleansing the earth with wind and rains. Often times, lacrosse is prescribed as a ritual healing, usually recommended through a dream or fortune teller. When the Iroquois would play lacrosse, there would be approximately 100 to 150+ men on a field of a few miles long. The teams would play until one team scored 2 of 3 or 3 of 5 goals. This often took days...

...advances have allowed many governments to increase their defenses against threats to national security. One of these new measures is the biometric passport, which has grown out of the necessity to overcome the misuse of paper travel documents. Some of the problems that have been encountered with the use of paper passports are copying and manipulation, selling of valid passports to a third party, and counterfeit or forged passports. Due to the difficulty of discerning a real passport from a fake, agents must undergo extensive training that still does not adequately protect against these threats. One of the initial attempts to increase border security by more accurately verifying identity and preventing counterfeit passports was the introduction of e-passports, or electronic passports. E-passports are identical to paper passports with the addition of an embedded, contactless smart-card containing the same information as the visual passport, including a digital version of the photograph. The contactless smart card is a tiny microprocessor that transmits information wirelessly utilizing RFID technology over distances of less than four inches. These smart-cards utilize advanced security mechanisms to prevent alterations to the embedded data. Unfortunately, these attempts did not prevent passport abuse. In response to persistent passport fraud, biometric technologies have been employed as an additional security measure. Biometric technology is an automated mechanism that verifies...

Consider eliminating other services such as passport and Post Office Box (POB) and any other non mail processing and delivery services Use the above information to develop a framework for a recommendation for the USPS to continue or discontinue two of the services above. Your discussion should consider a make or buy decision or product line discontinuation decision or outsourcing decision or any combination with identification of the relevant costs to be considered. Your response should outline the quantitative factors such as relevant/avoidable/differential costs as well as the qualitative factors that should be considered in your decision. Provide an opinion assuming you had the appropriate information on what the USPS should do regarding future services. We examine points “a” and “d.” Both these are product elimination decisions. In making the decision, we need to consider the loss of revenue and the savings in cost. The loss of revenue would come from discontinuing the service and the savings in cost would be due to lower activity. In looking at the cost savings, we need to identify the relevant costs. The relevant costs are those...
