"While some legislators may at first blush exclaim that the government has done its job in extracting some financial arrangement, we do not believe that this will be the end of the debate, as consumers will not see any of the money coming from the CMS/DOJ resolution," Maris wrote.
At first blush, this fact-based production threatens to be a tad too familiar -- seeming like the real-life version of Michael Mann's "Manhunter," in which the brilliant profiler pays a price for his ability to look into the mind and soul of a killer, while chafing at bureaucratic blindness.
Nashville native Kenzi Whittington, Californian Eric Brown, Hawaiian Krichelle Kerbow (who has a fascinating backstory that isn't explored nearly enough at first blush), and Angel Alvarenga, a Honduran immigrant now living in California, make the strongest first impressions in the premiere, which was the only episode made available to journalists.
When the United States Tennis Association announced it would take the United States Open out of Forest Hills and move it to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Mr. Collins reflected on some of the great names and matches in remembering the setting that had entranced him on first blush while a teenager.
But the explosive rise of these tax-exempt philanthropic vehicles — called donor-advised funds, or DAFs, and housed at places like Brown's former employer — has uncorked a fierce new debate about whether the motives of the wealthy, particularly in Silicon Valley, are as pure as they seem at first blush.
It is, at first blush, an unusual grouping, considering that the mayor of New York City (Bill de Blasio), the state's junior senator (Kirsten Gillibrand) and a neighboring senator with deep ties to New York's elite (Cory Booker of New Jersey) are all in the race and vying for their money.
"At first blush and without the benefit of discovery, there is nothing about these cases that suggests they are suitably related, other than they are both brought by the office of special counsel," Stone's lawyers wrote in a 13-page notice that requests a new random assignment to a different judge.
"In the end, I think it speaks to how bad the proposal may have looked at first blush, that all these organizations came together in an effort to say we should tap the brakes," said Todd Snitchler, head of market development for the petroleum group, which also represents natural gas.
Whenever I start to talk about how very few stories need to be so long, those who disagree often bring up The Wire or Breaking Bad — two shows whose stories, at first blush, seem to justify having all of those episodes, spread over five seasons, in which to tell their tales.
At first blush, Eating & Living: Recipes for Recovery may look like a lot of other healthy eating cookbooks out there, with colorful headings and lovely photography of bright greens and bubbling cheeses and delicious-yet-easy-to-prepare recipes like French pistou tomato soup or quick and easy salmon pasta.
At first blush, I can't say that the idea of swiping up from the bottom to return home is particularly intuitive, and neither is the distinction between a swipe down from the left of the screen's monobrow (for notifications) and a swipe down from the right (which pulls up the iOS Control Center).
Take the question of what to do with the 2.8m EU citizens living in Britain and the 1.2m Britons in the rest of the EU. At first blush it seems simple: both sides agree to guarantee the ongoing rights of citizens who arrived before a given date—perhaps the notification of Article 50.
But when it returns in June 2017, newly slathered in HD shine and engineered to make the most of Sony's PS4 Pro and its 4K visuals, WipEout (which is packed in alongside both HD Fury and 19983) will be missing one vital part of its first-blush appeal: its bespoke CoLD SToRAGE soundtrack.
Display startup MirraViz is here in Las Vegas this week for CES to show off a gadget that at first blush looks like some arcane trickery, allowing two off-the-shelf DLP projectors to layer images on top of one another so two people can view two different images simultaneously, no glasses required.
Come June, there will be 22016 fewer Kohl's stores across the U.S. While at first blush, that number isn't too jarring (after all, retailers from Finish Line to Gap have earmarked more than 22016 stores for closure), the announcement nonetheless represents a significant change in strategy for the low-price department store.
"At first blush, folks are saying this is a miss and now looking under the surface it is showing up as still a pretty solid report that is likely to keep interest rates continuing to move a bit higher," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors in Boston.
At first blush, the scene is an excuse for an Ed Sheeran cameo, as he sings a song of "hands of gold," and shortly after it feels like it might be another spot of bother for Arya as she continues her quest for revenge, this large group of soldiers potentially meaning her harm.
Mr. Trump offered no criticism of Mr. Assad, but criticized the Obama administration for advocating the removal of the Syrian leader and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, who was deposed in the first blush of the Arab Spring, because doing so took out the strongmen who kept the lid on violence in the region.
But everyone I talked to inside and outside of the company, including people who are not fans of Bob Iger (they exist), insisted that nothing prompted this beyond a need to get succession moving — Disney's annual meeting is March 11 — and that the handoff is less abrupt than it seems at first blush.
At first blush it's like a dream come true for conservatives: Donald J. Trump has become the first president to formally propose eliminating federal programs for the arts and humanities, which have long been in the cross hairs of Republicans, and the threat is all the more real because the party also controls Congress.
And while that can make for beautiful TV, it rarely makes for exciting TV. The Path combines Katims and Goldberg's talents and experience with a story about a suffocating religious movement that seems heavily based on Scientology, at least at first blush (although the more you watch, the more you'll realize it cherry-picks ideas from lots of religions).
According to a recent report from the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, "In the past several years, seemingly every organization with a connection to technology policy has authored or endorsed a set of principles for AI." At first blush, these principles seem like a positive development, as companies publicly take responsibility for their actions.
While at first blush it may not seem logical to pick a fight with Fox News, the most powerful cable network on the right, and refuse to attend a debate in Iowa just days before they hold his fate in their hands, many think Trump's latest antics could help him deflate his opponents and lock up the caucus.
President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump pushes back on recent polling data, says internal numbers are 'strongest we've had so far' Illinois state lawmaker apologizes for photos depicting mock assassination of Trump Scaramucci assembling team of former Cabinet members to speak out against Trump MORE's termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, at first blush, flies in the face of popular will.
"So a lot of people at first blush say, 'Well, Richard Cordray because he was the treasurer of Ohio and attorney general, he has a lot of name ID.' But that's eight years ago and there's really not that much attention that the average Ohioan has paid to the good work that's been done at the Consumer [Financial] Protection Bureau."
At first blush, it seemed that President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump pushes back on recent polling data, says internal numbers are 'strongest we've had so far' Illinois state lawmaker apologizes for photos depicting mock assassination of Trump Scaramucci assembling team of former Cabinet members to speak out against Trump MORE's new chief of staff wasn't a political hack, like his predecessor Reince Priebus.
For that, let me be the first to give them an F for political, not to mention intellectual, IQ.  At first blush, it comes across as a great political move: firm up your progressive cred, get a photo op with a civil rights leader, appear to be a real champion of civil rights, label other primary candidates as racists who don't go along, likely lock up a big chunk of African American voters.
Comparing a beauty brand's rabid following to the Beatlemania frenzy might seem like a non-sequitur at first blush, but consider this: 25,000 people put their names on the waitlist to be first in line when then-under-the-radar affordable skin-care purveyor The Ordinary announced that it would be adding foundation to its already robust collection earlier this year, and 25,000 people attended The Beatles' last-ever live performance in San Francisco in 1966.
People like the Prime Minister, Clement Attlee (Anton Lesser); Sir Alistair Canning (Jack Davenport), a senior presence at the Foreign Office, whose demeanor is modelled on a Rolls-Royce crunching lightly but implacably up a gravel drive; Ruth's father (Nicholas Lyndhurst), who threatens to banish her if she proceeds with the wedding; and Tshekedi Khama (Vusi Kunene), the regent of the Bamangwato tribe, in Bechuanaland, which is now known as Botswana, and which Ruth, in the first blush of her passion, has to locate in an atlas.
Many of these reboots and revivals are shows that aired in the 1980s and 1990s, targeting viewers either in their first blush of adulthood, attempting to navigate an uncertain world, or empty-nesters with more time on their hands "Historically, when we're living in difficult times, it's always comforting to go back to programs that made us feel happy, felt comfortable, made us feel secure," says Preston Beckman, who oversaw the building of NBC's powerhouse Must-See TV block as the network's scheduler and went on to schedule Fox in its "American Idol" days.
