Streamlining Procurement Through Electronic Commerce
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies [and] the President's Management Council
The Federal Government spends $200 billion annually buying goods and services. Unfortunately, the red tape and burdensome paperwork of the current procurement system increases costs, produces unnecessary delays, and reduces Federal work force productivity. Moving to an electronic commerce system to simplify and streamline the purchasing process will promote customer service and cost-effectiveness. The electronic exchange of acquisition information between the private sector and the Federal Government also will increase competition by improving access to Federal contracting opportunities for the more than 300,000 vendors currently doing business with the Government, particularly small businesses, as well as many other vendors who find access to bidding opportunities difficult under the current system. For these reasons, I am committed to fundamentally altering and improving the way the Federal Government buys goods and services by ensuring that electronic commerce is implemented for appropriate Federal purchases as quickly as possible.
The objectives of this electronic commerce initiative are to:
(a) exchange procurement information—such as solicitations, offers, contracts, purchase orders, invoices, payments, and other contractual documents—electronically between the private sector and the Federal Government to the maximum extent practical;
(b) provide businesses, including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned businesses, with greater access to Federal procurement opportunities;
(c) ensure that potential suppliers are provided simplified access to the Federal Government's electronic commerce system;
(d) employ nationally and internationally recognized data formats that serve to broaden and ease the electronic interchange of data; and
(e) use agency and industry systems and networks to enable the Government and potential suppliers to exchange information and access Federal procurement data.
The President's Management Council, in coordination with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy of the Office of Management and Budget, and in consultation with appropriate Federal agencies with applicable technical and functional expertise, as necessary, shall provide overall leadership, management oversight, and policy direction to implement electronic commerce in the executive branch through the following actions:
(a) by March 1994, define the architecture for the Government-wide electronic commerce acquisition system and identify executive departments or agencies responsible for developing, implementing, operating, and maintaining the Federal electronic system;
(b) by September 1994, establish an initial electronic commerce capability to enable the Federal Government and private vendors to electronically exchange standardized requests for quotations, quotes, purchase orders, and notice of awards and begin Government-wide implementation;
(c) by July 1995, implement a full scale Federal electronic commerce system that expands initial capabilities to include electronic payments, document interchange, and supporting databases; and
(d) by January 1997, complete Government-wide implementation of electronic commerce for appropriate Federal purchases, to the maximum extent possible.
This implementation schedule should be accelerated where practicable.
The head of each executive department or agency shall:
(a) ensure that budgetary resources are available, within approved budget levels, for electronic commerce implementation in each respective department or agency;
(b) assist the President's Management Council in implementing the electronic commerce system as quickly as possible in accordance with the schedules established herein; and
(c) designate one or more senior level employees to assist the President's Management Council and serve as a point of contact for the development and implementation of the Federal electronic commerce system within each respective department or agency.
This directive is for the internal management of the executive branch and does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by a party against the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.
The Director of the Office of Management and Budget is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.William J. Clinton.

WASHINGTON – The parents of a 2-year-old boy found wandering alone in a Fredericksburg hotel have been arrested.
Police were called to the Hospitality House in the 2800 block of Plank Road Thursday morning around 5:30 for reports of a child wandering around in a parking lot.
The boy, dressed only in a diaper, was handed over to hotel security by a guest who found the boy pulling on a door of the hotel trying to get inside.
Hotel employees found the room where the boy was living with his mother, but his parents were nowhere to be found.
The child was turned over the Child Protective Services, while police searched the area.
Officers returned to the hotel later Thursday and found the boy's father walking near the hotel. He was taken back to the police department where they called the boy's mother. She agreed to drive out from Spotsylvania.
Before they were tracked down, neither parent had contacted police looking for their child.
After questioning by detectives, James Seth Brown, 31, of no fixed address and Courtney Love Brown, 19, of Spotsylvania were arrested and charged with felony child neglect.
Both are in custody at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
The child is not injured and is with Child Protective Services.

About Modern Languages at UIS
Knowledge of a second language is an essential component in the formation of an educated person in this increasingly interconnected world. Real use of a second language will allow you to compete and cooperate both at home and in the international arena.
Students of the University of Illinois at Springfield are offered courses on campus in Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. Additional languages and related courses may be taken at one of the member institutions of the Central Illinois Foreign Language Consortium.
Our foreign language curriculum is based on language instruction models that emphasize the four language skills: speaking, reading, writing and listening.
After completing the final semester of the four-course language sequence, students should be able to speak, understand, read, and write in cognate languages (French, German, or Spanish) at an intermediate-mid level, or at, in non-cognate languages (Chinese or Japanese), an intermediate-low level.
These ratings are based on the scale set by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

Lady In The Window
I saw this woman inside a vintage shop in the East Village. I went inside to tell her how lovely she looked and she came outside for a few shots. .I love the modern mix of an over sized men's dress shirt with an elegant hat. I thinks its awesome to see women in menswear and see how they make it their own!

Joyce Weinstein conserving Stanley Boxer painting
Despite our strict storage standards and endeavors to handle art objects extra-carefully (no small feat for a klutz like myself), artworks still tend to degrade over time. No matter how careful museums are with their collections, gravity and time just take over.
That is what happened with our painting, Havocpockedfeysnowboughs by Stanley Boxer. Mr. Boxer was an abstract artist known for his heavy application of paint. He focused on texture and form in his paintings, and the paint literally rises up off the canvas in waves.
Havocpockedfeysnowboughs was created in 1976 so it is over 30 years old. At that time, Boxer did not use a fixative to protect the oil paints he daubed so generously over his canvases. Time took its toll and much of the parrot green, the pink and the white oil paint have begun to flake slowly off of his work.
Boxer died in 2000, leaving a widow, Joyce Weinstein. She is also an artist and was kind enough to grace our museum with her presence at the recent opening, Rememberingstanleyboxer: A Retrospective Besides charming the patrons and members of the museum with her cheerful demeanor, she also agreed to touch up Stanley's painting.
See more of Joyce Weinstein's art.
Of course, we have several professionals in the area that we use for the array of conservation needs that can arise in a museum setting. But truly, having Boxer's wife fill in the missing portions seemed much more appropriate. In our art storage area, Ms. Weinstein studiously bent bent over Boxer's large canvas, 50 x 80 inches, and recreated the textured swirls and swathes of color for which he is best known.

Bockris, John O'M.
John O'M. Bockris, an Australian electrochemist, coined the term "hydrogen economy" in the 1970s. Bockris' hydrogen economy describes a system in which hydrogen would be used to transport energy from renewable sources over large distances and store it in large amounts. In 1962, Bockris first proposed a plan to supply US cities with solar-derived energy via hydrogen. In 1971, he published the first article on hydrogen in a referred journal. Bockris published Energy: The Solar-Hydrogen Alternative in 1975, one of the first detailed description of what a solar-hydrogen economy would look like.

Practicing under the supervision of a physician, physician assistants programs in Florida conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, assist in surgery, and often write prescriptions. With health care shortages on the rise, physician assistants are in high demand.
At Miami Dade College, you'll hone your skills by working alongside surgeons and physicians. Access to the College's numerous health care partners will also help you develop real-world experience.
Upon graduation, candidates take a national certification examination. To maintain their national certification, physician assistants must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and sit for a recertification every six years. Graduation from accredited physician assistant program schools in Florida and passage of the national certifying exam are required for state licensure.

Comments On Aug 03, 2015:This helmet is amazing, fits much better (for me at least) than some helmets costing $200-300 more. I read lots of reviews about it being "noisy". Your on a motorcycle, going 70+ mph, welcome to motorcycling. I have a stack of helmets from Arai's to HJC's and I can tell you that they are all noisy. If it bothers you that much, maybe you should find a new hobby. If your not bothered by a little wind noise and you ride a motorcycle, you need a helmet. This helmet is comfortable, easy to use and best of all, has sunglasses built into it. Ive ridden with this helmet in the up position going 80mph and i was amazed that there wasn't any wind buffeting like I've experience with other modulars. The chin button is easy to find and use, as is the sunglass buttons. venting is OK, but no helmet I've used has venting worth talking about. The magnet for the strap is a nice touch also, Like most helmets, id recommend you find a place local to try it on as everyones head is different. Enjoy.

Comments On May 19, 2014:I came in the the store to try on this helmet, as the other reviews had been positive.
I could barely close the faceplate, my chin and nose were being crushed against it. the wraparound cheekbone protection is so tight as to be highly claustrophobic.
Do not buy without a try on, and size it 2 above your other brand helmet.

Comments On Apr 28, 2013:It's ok I guess. Wind noise is a little high doesn't matter if the vents are open or closed. Definitely keep some super glue handy. I've had to reglue a couple peices of the bottom rubber back on and the magnet on the strap. Luckily the magnet and half the sticker over it got stuck to my mirror post instead of falling on the ground. You get what you pay for. Shield ratchets to multiple positions and "locks" in a slightly open position for good air. Doesn't seal perfectly when closed.

Comments On May 30, 2012:I bought the Bell because it was on sale, didnt really need a new lid but figured what the heck, its a good looking helmet. It does have some nice features like the sunshade and the little magnet to hold the loose end of the strap. Like most other helmets, the vent system does absolutaly nothing. I can open the vents on a really cold day and I can't notice any air at all flowing thru the helmet. Fitwise, its pretty decent, if not abit tight on the temples but I'm sure that it would break in if one wore it long enough. Unfortunatly this helmet is so noisy I am not ever going to use it. I have 2 other modular helmets and although you couldnt describe them as real quiet, in comparrison to the Bell they are. I would reccomend that this helmet is only used for "in town" riding, where speed doesnt affect the wind noise. As usual, you get what you pay for, and in the case of this helmet I would recommend you pay abit more and get a helmet you can wear without the noise driving you crazy...it really is that bad. I gave it a fair rating, but only if you never use it on the open road as it does have nice features and looks good. But what good is that if it is unwearable?

29 U.S. Code § 1112 - Bonding
prev | next
(a) Requisite bonding of plan officials
Every fiduciary of an employee benefit plan and every person who handles funds or other property of such a plan (hereafter in this section referred to as "plan official") shall be bonded as provided in this section; except that—
(1) where such plan is one under which the only assets from which benefits are paid are the general assets of a union or of an employer, the administrator, officers, and employees of such plan shall be exempt from the bonding requirements of this section,
(2) no bond shall be required of any entity which is registered as a broker or a dealer under section 78o (b) of title 15 if the broker or dealer is subject to the fidelity bond requirements of a self-regulatory organization (within the meaning of section 78c (a)(26) of title 15). [1]
(3) no bond shall be required of a fiduciary (or of any director, officer, or employee of such fiduciary) if such fiduciary—
(A) is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State;
(D) has at all times a combined capital and surplus in excess of such a minimum amount as may be established by regulations issued by the Secretary, which amount shall be at least $1,000,000. Paragraph (2) shall apply to a bank or other financial institution which is authorized to exercise trust powers and the deposits of which are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, only if such bank or institution meets bonding or similar requirements under State law which the Secretary determines are at least equivalent to those imposed on banks by Federal law.
The amount of such bond shall be fixed at the beginning of each fiscal year of the plan. Such amount shall be not less than 10 per centum of the amount of funds handled. In no case shall such bond be less than $1,000 nor more than $500,000, except that the Secretary, after due notice and opportunity for hearing to all interested parties, and after consideration of the record, may prescribe an amount in excess of $500,000, subject to the 10 per centum limitation of the preceding sentence. For purposes of fixing the amount of such bond, the amount of funds handled shall be determined by the funds handled by the person, group, or class to be covered by such bond and by their predecessor or predecessors, if any, during the preceding reporting year, or if the plan has no preceding reporting year, the amount of funds to be handled during the current reporting year by such person, group, or class, estimated as provided in regulations of the Secretary. Such bond shall provide protection to the plan against loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty on the part of the plan official, directly or through connivance with others. Any bond shall have as surety thereon a corporate surety company which is an acceptable surety on Federal bonds under authority granted by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to sections 9304–9308 of title 31. Any bond shall be in a form or of a type approved by the Secretary, including individual bonds or schedule or blanket forms of bonds which cover a group or class. In the case of a plan that holds employer securities (within the meaning of section 1107 (d)(1) of this title), this subsection shall be applied by substituting "$1,000,000" for "$500,000" each place it appears.
(b) Unlawful acts
It shall be unlawful for any plan official to whom subsection (a) of this section applies, to receive, handle, disburse, or otherwise exercise custody or control of any of the funds or other property of any employee benefit plan, without being bonded as required by subsection (a) of this section and it shall be unlawful for any plan official of such plan, or any other person having authority to direct the performance of such functions, to permit such functions, or any of them, to be performed by any plan official, with respect to whom the requirements of subsection (a) of this section have not been met.
(c) Conflict of interest prohibited in procuring bonds
It shall be unlawful for any person to procure any bond required by subsection (a) of this section from any surety or other company or through any agent or broker in whose business operations such plan or any party in interest in such plan has any control or significant financial interest, direct or indirect.
(d) Exclusiveness of statutory basis for bonding requirement for persons handling funds or other property of employee benefit plans
Nothing in any other provision of law shall require any person, required to be bonded as provided in subsection (a) of this section because he handles funds or other property of an employee benefit plan, to be bonded insofar as the handling by such person of the funds or other property of such plan is concerned.
(e) Regulations

ATLANTA (AP) -- Health officials are investigating a mysterious and scattered outbreak of the E. coli bacteria linked to 14 illnesses and one death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said no form of contaminated food or other cause has been identified in the illnesses, which occurred in April and May. They are spread among six states that include Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama.
Three people were hospitalized. One -- a child in the New Orleans area -- died last week.
The outbreak strain is E. coli 0145, a dangerous but not well-known type of bacteria. The strain was fingered in a 2010 outbreak that sickened more than two dozen people in at least five states.

49 U.S. Code § 44913 - Explosive detection
prev | next
(a) Deployment and Purchase of Equipment.—
(1) A deployment or purchase of explosive detection equipment under section 108.7(b)(8) or 108.20 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, or similar regulation is required only if the Under Secretary of Transportation for Security certifies that the equipment alone, or as part of an integrated system, can detect under realistic air carrier operating conditions the amounts, configurations, and types of explosive material that would likely be used to cause catastrophic damage to commercial aircraft. The Under Secretary shall base the certification on the results of tests conducted under protocols developed in consultation with expert scientists outside of the Transportation Security Administration. Those tests shall be completed not later than April 16, 1992.
(2) Before completion of the tests described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, but not later than April 16, 1992, the Under Secretary may require deployment of explosive detection equipment described in paragraph (1) if the Under Secretary decides that deployment will enhance aviation security significantly. In making that decision, the Under Secretary shall consider factors such as the ability of the equipment alone, or as part of an integrated system, to detect under realistic air carrier operating conditions the amounts, configurations, and types of explosive material that would likely be used to cause catastrophic damage to commercial aircraft. The Under Secretary shall notify the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives of a deployment decision made under this paragraph.
(3) Until such time as the Under Secretary determines that equipment certified under paragraph (1) is commercially available and has successfully completed operational testing as provided in paragraph (1), the Under Secretary shall facilitate the deployment of such approved commercially available explosive detection devices as the Under Secretary determines will enhance aviation security significantly. The Under Secretary shall require that equipment deployed under this paragraph be replaced by equipment certified under paragraph (1) when equipment certified under paragraph (1) becomes commercially available. The Under Secretary is authorized, based on operational considerations at individual airports, to waive the required installation of commercially available equipment under paragraph (1) in the interests of aviation security. The Under Secretary may permit the requirements of this paragraph to be met at airports by the deployment of dogs or other appropriate animals to supplement equipment for screening passengers, baggage, mail, or cargo for explosives or weapons.

The Hellfury is a chopper-style motorcycle made by Western Motorcycle Company and found only in Grand Theft Auto IV.
It is based on a West Coast Choppers El Diablo series bike and is the vehicle of choice for The Angels of Death. One of the most radically designed choppers in the game, the bike features a flame-based rim design.
The Hellfury handles similarly to the Freeway. It turns very widely, even at low speeds. However, it has a fast top speed, and can easily win races.
- Usually seen driven by the Angels of Death or parked in BOABO.
- A Hellfury is seen on the northern side of the museum in the mission Museum Piece. It seems to replace Johnny's parked Hexer in the parallel mission in The Lost and Damned, as it is the most similar bike.
- A golden-brown Hellfury can be found in the alleyway next to Lost MC Clubhouse in TBoGT, parked next to the side entrance.
- Many seen outside Luis Lopez's safehouse sometimes even in a unique dark blue.
- Parked next to the 69th Street Diner in Hove Beach, only in TBoGT.
- Can be found in Mafiya Work and Team Mafiya Work multiplayer modes during biker related objectives.
- Can be found parked in the midst of some apartments just east of the car wash in Beechwood City.
- Can be found as the main traffic bike in the first few minutes of TBOGT.
- In GTA IV, Jayvon Simson rides a unique rich red Hellfury in Ruff Rider, leading Niko on an extended chase through Algonquin.
- In The Lost and Damned, Jason Michaels is seen either riding a Hellfury or a Diabolus.
- In GTA IV, the default radio station in the Hellfury is Liberty City Hardcore.
- Strangely, this bike is used by The Lost in TLAD, but in GTA IV and TBoGT it is used by the Angels of Death. It is even more strange that Johnny rides the Hellfury in GTA IV.
- This bike is owned by Johnny Klebitz in GTA IV, but in GTA TLAD, he rides a customized Hexer.
- It's interesting to note in TBoGT that whilst Luis can get on the bike on either side, he gets off on the right-hand side. It is well-known amongst bikers that you always get off on the side of the kickstand and never on the side of the exhaust as you can burn your leg and if you catch the bike with your leg the kickstand helps to stop it fall over. This could be explained by the fact motorcycles aren't Luis's 'native' vehicle type.
- Relating to the previous point, it's also interesting to note that when you exit the bike in the engine-off state, it falls to the left side as if held up by the kickstand, but if you look closely the kickstand remains in the up position.

Forbes Rates Gatlinburg, TN Among Top Prettiest Towns in America
Posted on January 30, 2013 in Our Rentals, The Smoky Mountains with 0 Comments"
Have you been contemplating a visit to Gatlinburg but haven't yet made the time? Well, maybe you will change your mind when you hear all about what Forbes had to say about us! While we have long been touting the beauty of our quaint town, we were thrilled when Forbes placed Gatlinburg on its list

There are various ways of picking a cabinet team, one being a collection of close friends with whom one conducted a campaign and successfully won, which is quite a laughing stock method in the United States.
Another is sharing out positions between party bigwigs as they usually do in Europe, ending terms sweating with infighting – about who next carries the party flag. A third is promoting well known ministerial gurus to setting policy for their competence, and it often turns out politics and PhD aren't twins.
This third method was usually the case in Tanzania – shelving out the PhD for not having to suffocate about it – under Mwalimu Nyerere, for the reason that little academic skills (of reading reports, statistics and advisories of foreign agencies and making head and tail out of it) among TANU cadres.
This set the pace for top ministerial officials being placed as leading candidates for ministerial positions, for instance Cleopa Msuya was permanent secretary at independence. John Malecela was RC in 1963; politics was then 'illiterate.'
At the political level there was a very firm hand at the top, that of President Nyerere, who did not make policy from the cabinet but told them what to do, with a bevy of agencies to check on conduct.
Some people think this is not the case now but they are mostly mistaken – the president's will is usually done as he wants it, the compromises being those of policy, either as personal decisions or reached with the central committee. They arise from how far the work of government is contested, not obedience of a minister, etc.
Nobody will say the personal skills of ministers do not count but the president's orders or the premier's timely signals, etc. There are massive countervailing forces in what a minister does from day to day, which President Kikwete told the last major party congress before the polls that a minister called him about something and he replied 'pima mwenyewe.' In due and proper form, it was clear something was amiss because the said minister must have failed to figure out which decision on his part would reflect the president's expectation of his interpretation of policy thrust – and the president failed too!
For once, the reason isn't what street talk would like it to be, that both the president and his ministers aren't well schooled or are corrupt. Far from it – the real reason is that each decision a minister makes affects large numbers of people, and the losing side complains to the president, or calls professional meetings to make their voices felt, or it is donors who pick up the phone, etc. In other words through the simple stories of how certain sums were spent, theft isn't the proper explanation but redistributing resources, silently.
The current cabinet selection has brought up some noticeably competent people in their professional areas, but it is a different matter when it comes to administrative skills – and then back to the beautiful game of politics.
Prof Sospeter Muhongo is among the most sought after geologists in Africa – but he will not have a night's sleep until he meets all of MP Tundu Lissu's revolutionary demands on mining companies and lands taken over – and it isn't his brief to do that.
Dr William Mgimwa made history with his historic clash with ex-central bank governor Dr Daudi Ballali. This story may have had many sides, as chances that Dr Ballali would use 120m dollars of EPA without highest authorisation are nil, and Dr Mgimwa didn't tell anyone that Dr Ballali was so authorised.
We rejoice the new competences as this improves the public image; the government realises that it does not have the same choices each year. Conduct is like how people repent sin – too slowly!

Mr. Lopez is the father of Ernesto, Leta Lopez-Wilkinson and Luis Lopez and the ex-husband to Adriana Yanira Lopez. He served in the US Marine Corps, and, at an unknown point, left them for a new wife and family in the Midwest. According to Leta, however, Mr. Lopez left his new family in the Midwest as well. Despite the fact that Mr. Lopez abandoned his wife and three children, Luis still has three pictures of him on the walls in his apartment. Mr. Lopez bears a striking resemblance to Luis, even down to the goatee.
Leta informs Luis to get her children's pictures up and remove their father's pictures, calling their father an "asshole". Luis and Leta have a strong disliking for their father, but Ernesto appears to be indifferent.
- One of the medals on Mr. Lopez's chest is the Navy Cross, which is the second highest award for combat a Marine can earn.
- The Eagle Globe and Anchor on Mr. Lopez's pocket is on the right side, but it should be on the left under the U.S. Marine Name Tape.
- Mr. Lopez has no rank insignia in any of his uniforms in the pictures, which would make him a Private at least.
- Somewhat strangely, even though Mr. Lopez left his family when his children were young, Luis has a recent picture of him in Marine Corps MARPATS, which didn't start circulating in the Marine Corps until 2001-2004.
- In one of the photographs Mr. Lopez is wearing a navy blue great coat with his dress blues. This color coat is only authorized for members of the Silent Drill Platoon.
- Sometimes, when Luis is drunk, he might exclaim "Apparently my daddy was a drunk; good thing I'm not!".
- In the game, Luis' mother, Adriana Yanira Lopez, mentions Mr. Lopez and said that Luis is "just like his father," when Luis was treating his mother with hardly any respect in Momma's Boy.
