What GAO Found
The Department of Defense (DOD) has taken steps to enhance its existing training program for contracting officers representatives (CORs), but the required training does not fully prepare them to perform their contract oversight duties in contingency areas such as Afghanistan. DOD requires that CORs be qualified by training and experience commensurate with the responsibilities to be delegated to them. DOD took several actions to enhance its training program, such as developing a CORs training course with a focus on contingency operations. However, GAO found that CORs are not prepared to oversee contracts because the required training does not include specifics on how to complete written statements of work and how to operate in Afghanistans unique contracting environment. For example, DOD contracting personnel told GAO about opening delays and additional expenses related to the construction of a dining facility, which was originally constructed without a kitchen because it was not included in the original statement of work. In some cases, contract-specific training was not provided at all. In addition, not all oversight personnel such as commanders and senior leaders receive training to perform contract oversight and management duties in Afghanistan because such training is not required of them. Because DODs required training does not prepare CORs and other oversight personnel to oversee contracts, units cannot be assured that they receive what they paid for.
CORs do not always have the necessary subject area-related technical expertise to oversee U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) contracts they were assigned to. Contracting officials noted, for example, that the staircases on guard towers at a forward operating base were poorly constructed and unsafe to climb. The COR assigned to that contract had inadequate subject area-related technical expertise, preventing the early identification of the defective welding on the staircases. According to contracting officials, situations like this often occurred due to the shortage of CORs with expertise in construction. Also, at the time of GAOs field work, CORs for contracts written by CENTCOM contracting officers did not have access to subject matter experts, particularly those with construction experience. According to contracting personnel, because CORs do not have the subject area-related technical expertise needed to oversee contracts or access to subject matter experts, facilities were sometimes deficient and had to be reconstructed at great additional expense to the taxpayer.
DOD does not have a sufficient number of CORs to oversee the numerous contracts in Afghanistan. CENTCOM requires CORs to be nominated for all service contracts over $2,500 that, unless exempted, require significant ongoing technical advice and surveillance from requirements personnel. However, there is no guidance on the number of contracts a single COR should oversee. According to contracting officials and CORs GAO interviewed in Afghanistan, some CORs were responsible for providing oversight to multiple contracts in addition to carrying out their primary military duty. For example, one COR GAO interviewed was assigned to more than a dozen construction projects. According to that COR, it was impossible to be at each construction site during key phases of the project because the projects were occurring almost simultaneously at different locations. Consequently, according to officials, in situations like these, construction was completed without sufficient government oversight and problems were sometimes identified after facilities had been completed.
Why GAO Did This Study
In fiscal year 2011, DOD reported obligating over $16 billion for contracts that were executed primarily in Afghanistan. GAO has previously identified the need for DOD to improve its oversight of contractors by non-acquisition personnel, such as CORs, and Congress has addressed this issue in legislation. CORs act as the liaisons between the contractor, the contracting officer, and the unit receiving support.
Following up on previous GAO work on this topic, GAO determined the extent to which (1) DODs required training prepares CORs to perform their contract management and oversight duties, (2) CORs have the subject area-related technical expertise needed to oversee contracts, and (3) the number of CORs is sufficient to oversee the contracts in Afghanistan. GAO conducted field work in Afghanistan and the United States and focused on the preparedness of CORs to manage and oversee contracts in the CENTCOM area of responsibility.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that DOD enhance the current strategy for managing and overseeing contracts in contingency areas such as Afghanistan by, for example, developing training standards for providing operational contract support (OCS), fully institutionalizing OCS in professional military education, and developing standards regarding the number of contracts that CORs can oversee based on the technical nature and complexity of the contract. DOD concurred with all of GAOs recommendations.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: DOD has closed this recommendation but the actions taken do not address our recommendations. The training available to CORs in Afghanistan has not been modified to address our concerns and continues to provide little or no information on topics such as the Afghan First program, developing a statement of work, or completing the documents required by the contract review boards.
Recommendation: To provide for improved oversight of operational contract support, DOD should enhance the current strategy for providing contract management and oversight in Afghanistan and other areas of operations. Specifically, the Secretary of Defense should direct the CENTCOM Commander in consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments to develop standards for training to ensure that CORs are fully trained on the contract support in Afghanistan, to include information on the Afghan First program, Counterinsurgency Contracting Guidance, and details on the preparation of statements of work and documents required by the contract review boards.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Open
Comments: While the DOD has closed this recommendation, GAO continues to view this as an open recommendation. As of September 2014, DOD has not yet included operational contract support in its professional military education curriculum. According to the DOD' 2014 Operational Contract Support Action plan the department anticipates inclusion of OCS in joint training and education to the last quarter of 2015
Recommendation: To provide for improved oversight of operational contract support, DOD should enhance the current strategy for providing contract management and oversight in Afghanistan and other areas of operations. Specifically, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretaries of the military departments to fully institutionalize operational contract support in professional military education to ensure that CORs, commanders, senior leaders, and other personnel expected to perform operational contract support duties are prepared to do so by integrating and expanding the curriculum and by increasing the number of training offerings on operational contract support with a particular emphasis on contingency operations.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Per DOD the CENTCOM Joint Theater Support Contracting Command (CJTSCC) has contracted for subject matter experts in the construction trades. As of 3/26/2013 CJSTCC has 23 subject matter experts (SMEs) on staff: 13 construction management consultants and 10 construction control representatives. In addition, CJTSCC has established a quality assurance (QA)/technical support team structure to act as SMEs to provide necessary QA/technical experts and training to contracting officer's representatives (CORs). In addition, CJTSCC hired a COR manager to augment the SME workforce who acts as a single point of contact to assure that CORs, contracting officers, and other SMEs are focused on contracting monitoring, contractor oversight, performance monitoring, performance documentation, and assuring contract deliverables conform to contract requirements. The COR manager has developed a website for all SMEs and CORs as a repository for policy, regulations, checklists, and lessons learned.
Recommendation: To provide for improved oversight of operational contract support, DOD should enhance the current strategy for providing contract management and oversight in Afghanistan and other areas of operations. Specifically, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics in consultation with the appropriate CENTCOM officials to establish and maintain a sufficient number of subject matter experts in specialty areas dedicated to the CENTCOM Joint Theater Support Contracting Command to assist CORs with providing contract oversight.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Open
Comments: In May 2013, DOD reported that it is developing a draft Instruction --DOD Standard for Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Certification which discusses the appropriate standards for a COR regarding the number of contracts a COR can manage and oversee. The draft instruction states; in appointing a COR the contracting officer should consider whether the person to be appointed is already performing COR duties on another contract. The number of contracts for which a COR may be assigned is a matter for judgment of the contracting officer considering the size, scope, and complexity of the individual contracts. DOD estimates that the draft instruction will be issued in September 2013. As of August 2014 the department has not issued the proposed guidance
Recommendation: To provide for improved oversight of operational contract support, DOD should enhance the current strategy for providing contract management and oversight in Afghanistan and other areas of operations. Specifically, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to develop standards regarding the number of contracts that a COR can manage and oversee based on the technical nature and complexity of the contract.

And now, it's time for the Cool Wall App...
Now you can create your own Cool Walls, and rearrange the show Cool Wall itself.
Using over 350 cars, you can place the cars where you think they should be on the Cool Wall and find out if the presenters think you've got it right in an audio sound bite. All the images of the cars are complete with stats.
Be warned though, the car stats are highly suitable as slightly dodgy pub facts, but use sparingly when you need to win an argument. Where there was more than one model, we simply picked our favourite. For the most accurate stats, the car reviews section of www.topgear.com/uk/car-reviews is still the place to go.

RAC Bulletin 2011-008E - Development of A Canadian Field Organization
|Canada's National Amateur Radio Society
|"We're ALL about Amateur Radio!"
RAC Bulletin 2011-008E - Development of A Canadian Field Organization
Winnipeg, Manitoba
In RAC Bulletin 2010-032 - Vision Statement 2010-11-14, RAC committed itself to the "education and elmering of new Hams", and supporting "the training and coaching of RAC volunteers to achieve exemplary results, at the municipal, provincial and national levels." The new RAC Field Training program is the recognized tool leveraged by our ARES groups.
On December 9, 2010, Vice President Field Services with the support of the Section Managers formed a "Vice President Field Services Council". The Council made the commitment to develop a Canadian Field Organization. A major part of the new Field Organization will be the existing Field Service, which is key to providing services to the public and the Amateur Radio community. It will also incorporate new functions to better represent our interests to governments at the provincial and municipal levels, provide a strengthened public relations capability, expand the Affiliated Club program with a view to improving the input of Canadian Amateurs with respect to RAC policy development, and bring focus to promoting technical developments. On 24 March, 2011 the RAC Board unanimously approved implementation.
It is envisaged that each Section will form a similar council to oversee development of the Field Organization concept, taking into consideration its unique relationship with provincial governments, geography, relationships with existing regional associations, and the requirements of the individual clubs.
At its second meeting held on 13 January, 2011, the Council approved in principle an ARES Training Management System with the following six objectives:
The Council, through a working group, is developing an updated mission statement for the ARES. A second working group under the chair of the Ontario Section Manager has begun development of a "Specification", the foundation document in a training management system. While the focus is initially on modernizing the ARES in order to stay in step with rapidly developing national and provincial emergency management initiatives, ultimately this document will be expanded to include all roles within the RAC Field Organization.
The President and Vice President of Field Services extend an open invitation to all Amateurs with expertise in any aspect of developing the Field Organization to make contact with their Section Manager. Contact information can be found at http://rac.ca/en/rac/public-service/section-managers/

(1.8L 4-cyl. 5-speed Manual)
I purchased this year and model car a couple months ago. I like how it drives, the AC blows cold and it handles very nicely considering it needs a transmission and clutch overhaul. It has it's issues, but I like it.
After purchasing it a while later the Engine Light came on. I took it to Wal-mart and they connected their small diagnostics machine to it and the code read:
I looked it up on the internet and it reported it was an Idle Controller System. They say this is what causes your car to either idle high/low. Mine idles fine even with the AC on. I had the Engine Light turned off to see if it comes back on later, the mechanic said it could be due to the catalytic converter or a piece behind it. Emissions are due in July so I will need to get this fixed pronto.
I just want to say, I like this little car. It's 16 years old and handles very nicely.

Nice article with a good message. Well done IF
nice articles to be sharing no smoking plzzz
The SOTY also showed the lead actors sharing cigarette on screen. Such scenes send wrong messages to teenagers who consider these actors as role model.
Nice article. Even though I haven't watch all these films, I read a lot about films glorifying smoking habit showing it as glamorous , high classy etc. while they put a note about " smoking isn't good for Heath " viewers won't notice that, so the wrong message will certainly be sent.
Smoking not only cause lung cancer, also increases the risk of over dozen of other cancers like stomac cancer ( this may be the dangerous one if Alchol also plays a part ) kidney , pancreas , ovarien and many more.
And the recent recherches proves smoking also increase the possibility of bre*** cancer.
So give up smoking and save lives

Lindsay Lohan may soon welcome another half-sibling.
The 27-year-old former Mean Girls star's father, Michael Lohan, reportedly confirmed to RadarOnline at the weekend his on-off girlfriend, Kate Major, is three-and-a-half months pregnant.
Kate, who shares a 16-month-old son, Lincoln, with the showbiz dad, is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence for a probation violation following her DUI arrest in March.
Gossip Extra reports the 31-year-old former reporter is fighting to complete her time at her home in Boca Raton, Florida, citing a high-risk pregnancy.
Kate and Michael are known to have a tumultuous relationship.
The couple became engaged in 2010 but broke up shortly after with Kate accusing him of harassment and assault.
They announced they were expecting their first child together in July 2012.
However, things appeared to go downhill once again in February of this year, when Kate claimed she was forced to lock herself and their child in a bedroom while Michael tried to break in with a weapon.
Taking to Twitter in an apparent cry for help, she wrote: "Threatening to take our son. What judge would rule for. him??? Stuck inside a house with this guy? He has a knife."
Sources told TMZ at the time Michael called 911 after Kate began "acting erratically" and police intervened.
Lindsay, his daughter with ex-wife Dina, has had a notoriously difficult relationship with her dad, going through multiple periods of estrangement. In 2009 the pair fell out after he released recordings he'd made of her private voicemails to him. The actress was heard sobbing and claiming no one loved her. Michael claimed he made them public to show the world his daughter needed professional help.
In addition to Lindsay, Michael shares three other children with Dina. The former couple divorced in 2007 after 22 years of marriage.
He also has a teenage daughter, Ashley Horn, from a previous relationship, according to UsWeekly.

Boost investment in energy efficiency, PH urged
The British Embassy in Manila has urged government agencies, businesses and households in the Philippines to reduce energy waste and cut power bills through investments in energy efficiency.
Trevor Lewis, Chargé d' Affaires at the British Embassy in Manila, also affirmed the United Kingdom's willingness to share its experience in implementing energy efficiency measures, such as the Green Deal and Smart Meter programs.
In a message he shared during a recent forum, Lewis stressed the need to pursue energy efficiency investments as global demand for energy is rapidly increasing, particularly in large emerging market economies like the Philippines.
"Our global need for traditional fossil fuels leaves us open to volatile prices, deepens our dependence on imported energy and generates greenhouse gases which could lead to global temperature rises of more than 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level," he noted.
This is why in the UK, the government is implementing, among other measures, the Green Deal program that offers cashback deals to those that will undertake energy efficient improvements in their homes and buildings.
Smart Meters are also being rolled out to help UK consumers manage energy use and budgets.
"I understand that the Philippines has the second most expensive energy in Asia after Japan, so I could see how a Smart Meter program could also work here," Lewis added.
The local version of the UK's smart meter program is the prepaid retail electricity scheme, which is being tested.

We would love to welcome you to Athens Holiday Rentals for short or long stay visits. We are a family business which invites travelers from all corners of the world to become familiar with the friendly atmosphere of the capital city of Greece, Athens.
kostas purchased this apartment in 2004
The apartments are situated in safe and quiet residential neighbourhoods of Athens, in brand new condominiums close to transportation means guarantying that day or night never be far from the action, business or simply fun. Many activities and walks are accessible by foot. It constitutes the best solution for those who would like to combine their business activities with vacation and fun in total comfort.

We cater for everyone, especially young and the YOUNG at heart people who are looking for relaxing, active & fun filled holidays in the sun and beach.
Modern, bright, quiet !, clean apartement in Athens. Only few meters from metrostation Dafni. Just great place for a stay in Athens. Direct bus from Airport to that place! And last but not least very friendly owners! We will defintely come back to that place.
We enjoyed staying in Kostas' apartment in Dafni. It was close to all amenties and very close to train station to take us to all major Athens attractions. The local taverna was just up the street and fantastic value. Kostas was very helpful, meeting us at the airport. and the apartment was clean, air conditioned and conatined all necessary amenties. It was overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The apartment was exactly as stated in the advert. It is located in a quiet, residential area but near the centre of Athens. The locality has plenty of restaurants and supermarkets. You can also reach a nearby beach - though it is crowded and not very clean.
The apartment was clean and was well-maintained. The air-conditioning was a little too forceful for our taste. Kostas looked after us well and gave some useful advice.
I would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and family.
My husband stayed at the apartment for 4 nights with our 2 teenage grandchildren and found it to fit our needs perfectly. The apartment was immaculate and simply but very adequately equipped. Dafni is a great, lively neighborhood with the metro, buses, wonderful restaurants, and super market just steps away. Kostas was a pleasure to work with and we found him to be very helpful in making our visit a success. If we ever have the option to visit Athens again, this is where we will hope to stay.
This great unit was everything we were looking for. It is open, airy, bright and very clean. The balcony for having breakfast was a nice bonus and the kitchen was well equipped for all our needs.
We even had friends over for a dinner party after getting fresh fruits and veggies from an extensive farmer's market (about a hundred vendors) a block away...
The owner was also very helpful with local information about restaurants and sights, and provided a convenient airport shuttle, complete with a car seat for our little one.
We can't say enough nice things about this unit - and would definitely recommend it for all types of travelers. The unit also had a crib - so it is very family friendly as well.
Thanks and hope to stay here again next time we're in Athens!
Kostos' Dafni Apartment is a very pleasant, modern, well-equipped and well-maintained apartment with an excellent location in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We appreciated the washing machine (especially as it took a couple of extra days for my bag to arrive from the U.S.) and enjoyed the balcony. With regard to location, the nearby Dafni Metro station gives you quick access to the many historical treasures of Athens. And in the immediate area there are many eateries of various types. We particularly enjoyed Kalamaki Kafedaki on Kalogiron Square (an unhurried, quiet square even with one of the Dafni Metro accesses), and also the bakery shop Lime (across a little street from the square) which offers very good take-out sandwiches, pastries and beverages. Both dining and take-outs are enjoyed mainly by local residents, so there is authenticity, character, and quality. My wife and I strongly recommend this apartment and locale, and should we have an opportunity to visit Athens again for a longer stay, we will choose it again.
The apartment is only 100 m away from the metro station Dafni,in a safe,residential area and away from the noisy downtown centre. You can be at Syndagma square and Acropolis in 3 min only.
You can come to the apartment directly from the airport just by using the metro line or one direct bus line. There is also a correspondence line to go to Pireaus Port and you can have a daily cruise to the saronic Islands. Also the metro connects with the Proastiakos railway which you can use it to visit Ancient Korinthos or Nafplio.
At 100 m away from the house there are several bus lines that take you to Glyfada or the center of Athens.
At just 2 min walking distance you can find Greek taverns, banks, super markets, cafeterias, shopping stores.
Every wednesday just around the corner there is a flea market with fresh vegetables and fruits.

Hands-on Gear Review
Compare belay device ratings side-by-side >
Street Price: $95
Pros: Smooth rope handling, auto-locking
Cons: heavy, expensive, not recommended ropes less than 10mm
Best Uses: Sport, trad, big wall, especially solid on thicker ropes
Manufacturer: Petzl
The Petzl GriGri had our Editor's choice award until the GriGri 2 came around. The GriGri 2 now gets the honor. But do you need to upgrade right away? Read our Petzl GriGri 2 Review to find our more. The bottom line is that for ropes dinner than 9.5 mm, the GRIGRI two is the clear favorite. However, if you're using rope sticker than 9.5 mm, then the old model GriGri is easier to use. For example, most gyms use thicker ropes that then become even thicker and fuzzier with heavy use. It can be hard sometimes to get the greenery to work on these ropes. Since the original GriGri is no long available for sale, you might want to carefully hold onto yours if you still have it.
