Risk Management Framework (RMF) Services
Government must manage their cybersecurity dynamically at the enterprise level. Risk Management Framework (RMF) services replaces the outdated Certification and Accreditation (C&A) process.
NIST developed RMF and describes it as a mandated element of FISMA compliance (see the reference section below). GSA provides RMF services through Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with pre-competed pricing.
Ceiling: $58 million
Period of performance: June 10, 2011 to June 9, 2014
Solicitation number: eBuy RFQ #465145 (QTA-0-10-FK-B-0001)
Aligned with federal cybersecurity guidance and commercial best practices
The RMF BPA is aligned with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requirements, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance, and the DHS National Infrastructure Protection Plan. Learn more on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) website.
Available to all government customers
Federal, state, local, and tribal government organizations can use the RMF BPA.
Lower prices
The RMF BPA features lower prices than you can find on IT Schedule 70.
How to order
1. Determine that your work is in scope
Review the BPA modification in the Risk Management Framework Ordering Guide (Word, 1340 KB, Rev. 12/2012) for the full scope of the BPA. During this phase, you must also determine the complexity of your current systems.
Use the RMF Service request package (Excel 39 KB) - this Excel workbook takes you tab by tab to better understand how to use the RMF BPA and ensure that you don't miss any critical steps.
Table of Security Deliverables and References - helps ordering activities understand and to identify which CLIN(s) to include on their solicitation (Word, 780 KB).
2. Prepare the statement of work (SOW)
Draft your requirements in accordance with your system assessment. Use the ordering procedures in FAR 8.405-2 for a list of what you must include.
3. Prepare the request for quotations (RFQ)
Follow your agency's procedures for preparing an RFQ and follow any internal policies for acquiring IT services. Develop and state your evaluation criteria.
All orders must be fixed-price.
4. Issue the request for quotations (RFQ)
Below $3,000. If your order is below the micro-purchase threshold, you may place orders with any BPA holder who can meet your needs. You should try to distribute orders among the BPA holders.
Between $3,000 and $150,000. If your order is between the micro-purchase threshold and the simplified acquisition threshold, provide the RFQ to at least three BPA holders according to FAR 405-2. (If you don't, you must document exceptions according to FAR 8.405-6).
Above $150,000. If your order is more than the simplified acquisition threshold, provide the RFQ to all BPA holders who meet your requirements. You must also seek a price reduction.
5. Evaluate responses
Evaluate all responses received using the evaluation criteria you specified in the RFQ. See FAR 8.405-2(d) for more guidance. Select the BPA holder who represents the best value.
6. Award the task order
Award the task order and document who you awarded it to, what was purchased, and the pricing. Include the BPA number, BPA holder's name, and Schedule contract number on all orders.

The Mustangs are back in action Friday night at Westcott against Marshall with a 7pm start.
There are only two more home games this year (Friday night and Sunday afternoon) so SMU needs to make sure to take all six points this weekend to keep pace in the conference race.
Currently, the top of C-USA looks like this:
1. 5-0-1 16 Memphis
1. 5-0-1 16 Colorado College
6. 3-2-1 10 Rice
7. 2-3-1 7 Tulsa
8. 1-3-2 5 Marshall
If SMU can win both home matches this weekend, we could be in the position to control our own destiny to finish second in the conference and get that crucial bye in the conference tournament. Friday night features UCF at Rice and UTEP at Memphis. Sunday afternoon features Colorado College at Memphis. UTEP and Colorado College still have to play each other as well.
It is obviously way too early to be looking too far ahead - but SMU can really put itself in a great position by taking care of business at home this weekend.
As has been the case most of the past month, the big questions revolve around the health of the team. It will be interesting to see who is fit for Friday night.
It is also naturally a huge weekend for the seniors - Courtney Webb, Kaitlyn Eidson, and Katherine Cox. Hopefully they will finish off their SMU home careers on a high note. They certainly deserve it.

Western Growers' Giclas said he wasn't convinced more regulations or guidelines would help.
"There is no shortage of guidance out there and still we see instances of people who aren't following that," Giclas said.
National guidelines expected this year
Despite his skepticism, Giclas and Western Growers have been working with the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, the Produce Marketing Association, United Fresh and independent researchers to develop national commodity-specific guidelines for cantaloupes.
Suslow Trevor Suslow, research extension specialist at the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California-Davis, has been helping with the national guidelines, and said he expects they will be published in a couple of months.
However, Suslow said he thought more could have been done to educate growers across the country about safe harvesting, handling and distribution in the wake of last year's deadly listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupe from Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo.
"I think there was a missed opportunity," Suslow said Aug. 23. "I wish we could have done a better job of getting existing information to county extension agents and others who were already engaged with the smaller growers."
Suslow said much of the information in the new national commodity guidelines is already on the books.
"They are largely what we already know," Suslow said. "The big issues (in the new guidelines) are about raising the bar of expectations for all producers."
The Packer's national editor Tom Karst contributed to this story.

Interspersed among the educational segments are killer performances from Gorden and his group, The E&G Band, playing various song styles and grooves. There are also interview/advice segments from other famous working drummers, including Aaron Spears, Russ Miller, Will Kennedy, and a segment with jazz/fusion great George Duke, who also performs with Gorden.

An Early Happy Christmas...
Just ran across this and had to post it:
If you're interested, Tommy Emmanuel is going to be in concert with Martin Taylor at numerous venues in the UK starting March 6th next year. The complete schedule is here. I can tell you from personal experience that his shows are definitely worth seeing if you like guitar at all. And he's an incredibly nice guy!
Tom (... yes. A fan.)

Township Council Addresses Sandy Response
Officials plan to meet to assess storm response and determine what, if anything, should change
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Manchester officials discussed how the township handled the storm and said they plan to hold a meeting to determine what worked and what could be done better should severe weather again impact the area.
Members of the Township Council on Monday praised the efforts of police, public works and emergency volunteers who responded following the storm that devastated parts of New Jersey.
"They did a great effort," said council President Craig Wallis, who attended the meeting through telephone. "They were out there the whole time."
While some neighboring communities experienced severe damage that destroyed homes and displaced families, Manchester mostly dealt with downed trees and powerlines and days-long electricity outages.
Business Administrator Elena Zsoldos added her appreciation for the work done by "all of our employees — police, fire, first aid — they were all wonderful during this storm," she said.
Additionally, Wallis said that "many" residents stepped up to volunteer their time to help others.
"So I'm definitely thankful to them. It was a large impact on our community and we made it through, mostly, pretty well," he said.
Whiting resident Tom Gilligan said during the meeting's public comment portion that while he appreciated the efforts of Manchester's personnel, he said that more information could have been provided to residents on the township website before Sandy struck.
"It didn't even say in the event that it was needed, where there would be shelters," he said.
Chief of Police Brian Klimakowski said that information was available on the township and police department websites and authorities keep a database of special needs residents they monitored throughout the storm. The township did not have the resources to open its own shelter, which is why any Manchester residents who needed to evacuate were told to utilize a shelter run by Ocean County.
"I'm not criticising what was done," Gilligan said. "I think that these things need to be looked at."
Zsoldos thanked Gilligan for his input and said that officials plan to hold a meeting to determine what worked and what could be done better should another severe storm impact the area.
Council member Sam Fusaro acknowledged that it was difficult for some residents to stay informed through the township's reverse 9-1-1 calls because many modern phone systems rely on electricity to work. With a large percentage of residents without power during and after Sandy, they could have missed vital information.
"Most service goes when power goes," Fusaro said, adding that the township should work with residents to ensure that cell phone numbers are registered to the system in addition to landlines.
Handling an election just days after Sandy was "some chaos," said Clerk Sabina Skibo.
"But it was controlled chaos in the office. Everyone was very patient," Skibo said. "My staff worked approximately 30 hours over two days trying to get polling places back up, moving people around."
One of Manchester's 40 voting districts was closed because of Sandy and residents who normally used the site were offered a bus to a nearby polling location.
"They had to scramble and they did a great job getting everything up and running," Zsoldos said of the employees in the clerk's office.
Zsoldos said that tax bills were mailed on a delay and residents have until the end of November to pay them.

As a wife of an employee of the Manchester Public Works just a side note to say what a good job the men did. They worked 33 hours straight to get Manchester roads cleared from all the fallen trees. Just wanted to thank them and say what a great job. Without them the police, fire etc. would not be able to get to where they were going. They are still out there cleaning up. I also work in the Public Works office.
10:03 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
I posted a comment earlier and why does it take so long to be approved.
9:47 am on Thursday, November 15, 2012
Did they get paid for this work " OVERTIME or did they volunteer their time ?
as you stated ...I also work in the Public Works office.
My other take away is did you write your comments on a township computer on township time ? Mayor Mike can you look into this . If so you should lose your job ..
How much praise do they need , they probably made more money in the last few weeks then any other week since they worked anywhere . So big deal , we all played our parts in whatever field we work in .
5:57 pm on Thursday, November 15, 2012
First let me say as union members they are not allowed to volunteer their time. All I was saying was what a good job they were doing. No need to be so defensive. And if you looked it up you would see that Manchester Public Works is one of the lowest paid in Jersey. Oh and by the way I wrote this 6:30 in the morning, not on company time. You need to speak to Manchester Patch about why it was in pending approval for 3 1/2 hours.

The employees at the public works garage did not receive any compensation, other than o.t. between the hours of 3:30--7:00am the next morning----so no, they did not earn more money than whatever it is you said. These guys who stayed during the storm, did so while their families were at home wondering about their own safety. These professionals at the public works did indeed place the needs of the town well before their own needs. Their sacrifice and shear determination has gone unrecognized by their superiors at their as well as townhall itself. To be clear----- these men only earn 12.50 an hour for the most part. They have been without a raise for close to three years now, all the while other township employees in townhall have enjoyed substantial increases in their pay. How do you explain that?
At the start of the storm, the issues of how the town would compensate their public works employees during the storm arose. The matter was addressed, and compensation for the storm would be in the form of compensation days for the time the town was closed. Once the public works dept was aware that town hall employees would be paid for the days missed without any use of their own time-- townhall quickly retacted anything they had done for townhall to avoid having to pay their public works. Amazing, that is all that can be said. If any resident in the town who reads the patch should ask themselves how can an emploter treat their OWN employees the way they do.

These men at the public works placed their own safety in jeapordy to acheive a mutual goal of trying to keep the town as safe as possible for fire, police,etc. eir attempts to keep the as operational as humanly possible has been ignored. Their achievements are often forgotten. If you are a resident of the town and are reading this--- these men at the DPW did indeed place the needs of the town first setting aside their own personal needs and the needs of their families. They need to be applauded, as well as being compensated for what they do!

Clippers vs. Albuquerque (Dodgers)
Here's today's lineup:
1. Michael Brantley CF
2. Luis Valbuena 2B
3. Stephen Head 1B
4. Matt LaPorta RF
5. Wes Hodges 3B
6. Chris Gimenez LF
7. Michael Aubrey DH
8. Wyatt Toregas C
9. Matt Willard SS
10. Jordan Brown DH
P- Aaron Laffey
Yes, the Clippers are batting ten guys today (two designated hitters). This lineup consists of nine likely Clippers and one exception, Matt Willard. Willard will land in single-A this year, but with Wilson Valdez still in big league camp (and injuries to both Jesus Merchan and Andy Cannizaro) the Clippers needed someone to play shortstop today. Despite much begging and pleading, I told them I simply wasn't interested.

Amazon and moral codes.
Today, many, many people heard about it. And many, many people complained to Amazon, Amazon responded by refusing to pull the book and stating that they believe that to refuse to sell material they feel is objectionable is censorship.
And therefore the book stays available on Amazon.
And I?
Call absolute bullshit. To claim "censorship" is nothing but a cop-out.
Amazon is not a government body.
Amazon is not telling anyone what they can and cannot say.
Amazon flatters itself by saying it is capable of censoring anything at all.
Amazon is simply a vehicle between the creator (writer/publisher/whatever) of a book, and the reader of the book. It is a method for the book to reach the reader.
For Amazon to not carry that book, or any book, is not censorship.
Censorship is when you are told that you cannot express your opinion, or you will face consequences.
By not selling a specific book, Amazon is not saying the book cannot be written, that the opinions stated therein must not be stated. That would be censoring it. By refusing to carry a book, it's not suppressing anyone's freedom of speech. The book would be available elsewhere, after all.
By refusing to carry it, Amazon would, however, be saying we don't allow our services to be used as the stage to peddle evil. It would be taking a stand. It would be drawing a line in the sand of what kind of company it wants to be - a company with a moral code, or a company without one.
Instead, Amazon is holding its nose and hiding behind a claim of not wanting to "censor" a book to avoid taking a stand against pedophilia.
Censorship my ass.
Here's the reality.
This is a how-to manual for pedophiles. For people who sexually abuse children.
And it's easily available on Amazon.com for the low low price of $4.79.
For $4.79, Amazon is selling its soul. And it's a guarantee: By this book being available, children will directly, directly be harmed.
I realize this will hurt me more than it hurts Amazon, but I have no other alternative. I cannot support a company with no moral code. I cannot support a company that cannot take a stand and see how horribly wrong it is to say it's ok for anyone to use our service to offer up anything, anything at all, for sale.
I am terminating my affiliate relationship with Amazon, removing all my Amazon affiliate ads and will not be purchasing from Amazon again.
Because fundamentally, a company that thinks it's A-OK to profit from the sales of how-to guides for pedophiles is not a company that will be getting my money.

Hey, you know I'm with you. And what about their content guidelines that state "Titles sold through the Digital Text Platform Program must adhere to all applicable laws. Some Titles that may not be sold include any Titles which may lead to the production of an illegal item or illegal activity." They haven't addressed that anywhere that I've seen and I am waiting because how the hell does a pedophilia how-to guide not fall under that?

You know I completely disagree with you, and I wrote a post that will be going live at midnight about it, but right here I'll say this:
Amazon has a moral obligation NOT to remove a single book unless it violates the law, and without reading the actual book, it is objectively impossible to state that it's illegal. As a corporation, it has a moral obligation to support the freedom of expression that we enjoy in our countries.
If you read the book, and it actually contains illegal material? I'll take that back. - November 10, 2010 at 5:27 PM
- zchamu said...
@avitable - what qualifies as illegal material?
- November 10, 2010 at 5:40 PM
- zchamu said...
Also, what is the difference between Amazon pulling all MacMillan titles and depriving everyone of their right to access those books vs. pulling a pedophile manual? Oh, right: Profit.
- November 10, 2010 at 5:43 PM
- Avitable said...
Well, in the US, it has to incite violence or create a clear and present danger to the country. I'm paraphrasing, of course.
- November 10, 2010 at 5:46 PM
- zchamu said...
@avitable ok - we are operating from different assumptions, then, because I assumed that it would in fact have that sort of content (in plain english, directions on how to facilitate the sexual assault of a child). And I'm not about to buy the book to find out. Ugh.
- November 10, 2010 at 5:55 PM
- Avitable said...
I won't buy it either but I don't want to assume anything. In fact, since amazon reviewed it and left it, it probably does not contain that type of content.
- November 10, 2010 at 7:08 PM
- Elz said...
Agreed. There are alot of people talking about the #Amazonfail campaign today and portraying it as a censorship fight. NOT in the slightest. It was a business decision. It was a business decision to act against basic human values and morals. reprehensible.
- November 11, 2010 at 4:29 PM
- Loukia said...
Yup. In total agreement. I'm glad they removed it.
- November 11, 2010 at 4:32 PM

3. | Do a Barrel Roll | ||
The answer to all your problems.
4. | Do A Barrel Roll | ||
Famous line in gaming culture, originating in the Star Fox franchise. The line is commonly associated with the character "Peppy", due to his tendency to instruct the player to perform the maneuver, commonly when a scripted ambush or similar event is occurring. Due to his insistence upon suggesting that Fox "Do a barrel roll!" in so many situations, it has come to be parodied as a panacea for all problems. In the context of the Star Fox franchise: "Fox, it's an ambush! Do a barrel roll!"
In the context of internet communication: "I can't finish the last level of the campaign! Any tips?" "Do a barrel roll." |
5. | Do a barrel roll | ||

Chemtex International Inc. is currently involved in a permitting process that will see a $200 million biofuels refinery production plant open at the start of 2015, creating around 350 direct and indirect jobs and anticipated to bring well in excess of $1 million in annual tax revenue to the city of Clinton if ultimately annexed, company and local officials said.
And company officials say that may just be the start if the plant proves as successful as they think.
City of Clinton staff, officials and City Council members received a literal blueprint from Chemtex executives during a work session earlier this week. At that session, company officials laid out a timeline by which the plant's construction would proceed and talked about the benefits, and ultimate goals, of the plant and its location in Clinton.
In August, Chemtex International was officially selected by USDA-Rural Development for a $99 million loan guarantee to develop a 20 million gallon cellulosic ethanol plant in Sampson County. The plant, project officials said, will benefit the local economies and farmers of Sampson and surrounding counties, while blazing a trail in alternative fuels production on a national level.
The announcement was touted by local officials as a "great day for Sampson County" and by company representatives as the start of a "green revolution." The local plant will use Beta Renewables' Proesa technology to produce cost-competitive ethanol using non-food biomass as its feedstock, the same technology being used at the world's first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Crescentino, Italy.
Paolo Carollo, executive vice president for Chemtex, told city officials that it is the hope the Sampson-based facility, the first commercial-scale facility of its kind in North America, would also prove to be the first of many.
"We are going to be starting with smaller facilities and probably evolving into 40 or 50 million gallons," he said. "We need to have a good handle on the logistics before we can think about expanding the capacity."
With Chemtex's "Project Alpha," Sampson County and eastern North Carolina farmers will directly benefit through the sales of newly established energy grasses, including switchgrass and miscanthus, to the biorefinery. About 20,000 acres will be required to supply the facility with 600,000 tons of energy grasses annually, and the increased net revenue to local growers is expected to be about $4.5 million a year.
"We saw a lot of potential here," said Carollo. "This is a better use of low-yield land or land that cannot be used for other purposes. We see in this region there is enough potential to build maybe — we were saying 10 or 15 facilities — but certainly there is a cluster of opportunity. We see this as one of several facilities that might come up."
Carollo also addressed some concerns of the adverse effects the crop might have, saying he spoke with USDA, Department of Department of Environment and Natural Resources, crop specialists and others. Carollo said he received a positive response.
"They were quite comfortable that what we are providing here is going to be manageable and safe for the environment in which it is going to be introduced," he noted, adding that the needed land would be comparatively minimal for the switchgrass and miscanthus. "To produce the same amount of fuel using Bermuda grass, we would need five times that land — 100,000 acres, instead of 20,000," Carollo said.
Those grasses would likely be produced within a 50-mile radius from the facility, which will be developed on a 40-acre site at Clinton Industrial Rail Park on Turkey Highway in Clinton, just outside the city limits.
"We'll have service by the rail line coming in," said Jeff Taylor, vice president of technology for Chemtex, "and we'll have trucks bringing in the raw material. We'll be making about three rail cars a day of ethanol and about 100 trucks a day of the biomass material coming in. We'll be storing about three days of fresh biomass at the facility."
Answering Council concerns, Carollo said there would not be a tremendous odor, but that it would emit a "grainy" smell, similar to a brewery.
"Basically, with the components we are using, in the end there's a fermentation process so we are producing beer, then distilling that to a higher level of purity to go toward ethanol," Carollo said.
'Starting at 70-80 percent'
Clinton mayor Lew Starling asked whether Carollo felt the 20,000 acres of farmland needed to feed the biorefinery would be satisfied. Carollo said he felt it would, but not initially.
He said Chemtex officials have spoken with four large pork producers and received feedback in assessing the numbers, as well as the overall local impact of the project.
"We tried to have their counsel and their support in how to deliver this industry without causing problems," said Carollo. "We are trying to learn from them. They are actually cooperating very closely with us. One thing is sure: they don't like corn at $7 per bushel, and this is going to take out the equation of corn from fuel. For them, it is a big driver. Strategically, it makes more sense than supporting corn ethanol."
Currently, with the assistance of those producers, Carollo said 12,000 acres of land of the needed 20,000 acres had been secured, with contracts still to be finalized. There is a formal condition of commitment in place, he noted.
"We see the project starting with maybe 70 to 80 percent of what we need, then closing to 100 percent within the next few months or years," said Carollo. "We think there is enough potential. It's kind of public, but Murphy Brown, Murphy Family, Prestage Farms and Goldsboro Mill were very supportive and very helpful in trying to get us on the right track."
Bill Sisk, project manager for Chemtex's Clinton project, shed further light on just when that plant would come to be.
"Right now we're right in the middle of defining all the permitting information," said Sisk. "That work has started already and we have to be finished with those (permits) by June or July. We see in fall 2013 starting the first site clearing work then moving into the full detail of the project — foundation, steel and everything else — which should lead to finishing the construction by late fall of 2014, with a projected start-up in the first quarter of 2015."
Approximately 65 people will be hired as part of the process, with an additional 280 indirect jobs expected in areas such as feedstock supply, maintenance and transportation.
Economic developer John Swope said, if Chemtex were to be incorporated, calculations show a boon to city coffers in the tax revenue produced. Over the first five years, the facility would pay approximately $1.3 million in property taxes to the city, and $1.2 million over the second five years.
"That would be an additional benefit if it were to be annexed," Swope noted.
Carollo told city officials that the plant would not be competing with grain and corn land, which is "too nice." Land that is more challenged in producing high-value crops was sought as the energy grasses do well on sandy, non-irrigated land such as hog lagoon spray fields, he noted.
Leading up to August's announcement, Chemtex International received a $4 million Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) award to support startup costs associated with establishing and growing over 4,000 acres of miscanthus and switchgrass across Sampson and 10 other counties. Carollo said nearly half that acreage was able to be realized during the short window for the funding.
"This project is going to be producing, at least for the first years, only ethanol for being added to the gasoline," said Carollo. "Our vision was, 'we need to be profitable even without the subsidies. We can't rely on something that is here today, and maybe is not going to be here a few years from now."
Similar to BCAP, as well as projects like Chemtex, the goal is to reduce America's dependency on foreign oil, cut down pollution and spur rural economic development and job creation while having a sustainable source of energy and a viable product.
He said there would eventually be avenues for Chemtex to move toward manufacturing plastics, which would make the plant viable locally for many more years.
"That is going to be a potential market that is probably three or four years from where we are right now," said Carollo. "The reason we feel we have a good Plan B is that converting sugars to some different polymer can always be done."
However, for now, producing cost-competitive ethanol is where it is at.
"Ethanol is a great market right now," Carollo said. "Long-term, our sustainability is certainly based more on chemicals, although we believe that the appetite for cellulosic biofuels in the (U.S.) will remain high for at least 10 or 15 years, no matter what happens to the dependency. It is possible that new fossil fuel reserves will be found, but long-term, you will want to have a renewable mix of fuels that can make the whole package more sustainable."

Montreal AIDS researcher honoured
Pioneering AIDS researcher Mark Wainberg has been elected a Fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science "for distinguished contributions to HIV drug development," among other achievements.
Wainberg, director of the McGill AIDS Centre, has been credited for his 1989 work with BioChem Pharma in the identification of 3TC as an anti-viral drug. The AAAS also lauded the 66-year-old Wainberg for "striving to make HIV drug access a reality for all."
In addition to his research, Wainberg has been known to take strong stands publicly on policy issues involving AIDS and HIV. In 2006, he criticized Prime Minister Stephen Harper for snubbing an international AIDS conference that he co-chaired in Toronto.
Two years later, Wainberg urged both the Canadian Red Cross and Héma Quebec to lift their lifetime bans on gay men from donating blood. He argued that the current nucleic acid test that screens for HIV in donated blood is 10,000 times more sensitive than the serological tests used in the 1980s, when the ban came into force.
Wainberg, a former director of the Lady Davis Institute of the Jewish General Hospital, will be formally recognized at the AAAS Fellows Forum on February 18 at the organization's annual meeting in Vancouver.
Founded in 1848, the AAAS is considered the world's largest general scientific society. It includes 262 affiliated societies and academies of science. Its publication, Science, has the largest paid circulation of any peer-reviewed scientific journal, with a readership of about one million.
