World's Christians celebrate Easter Sunday
Published: Sunday, April 12, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 11, 2009 at 11:15 p.m.
VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict XVI said this morning that reconciliation was the only way to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and said the entire world needed to rediscover hope to end wars, poverty and financial turmoil.
History of Easter
Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is the principal feast of the Christian year.
Connected with the observance of Easter is the 40-day penitential season of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding
at midnight on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday; Holy Week, commencing on
Palm Sunday, including Good Friday, the day
of the crucifixion.

In his Easter Sunday message, delivered from the central loggia of St. Peter's Basilica, Benedict noted that he plans to travel to the Holy Land in just a few weeks and said he would bring a message of hope and love to the region.
The 81-year-old pope tripped as he climbed up to his gilded chair on the loggia, but recovered without incident and delivered his speech to the crowds below.
"Reconciliation difficult but indispensable is a precondition for a future of overall security and peaceful coexistence, and it can only be achieved through renewed, persevering and sincere efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," he said.
Benedict delivered his "Urbi et Orbi" speech Latin for "to the city and the world" at the end of his Easter Sunday Mass, attended by tens of thousands of people who packed St. Peter's Square and the boulevard leading up to it.
The piazza, decorated with yellow tulips, azaleas and other spring flowers, overflowed with the faithful who came out on an overcast day to celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection, the most joyous and important day in the Christian church calendar.
The crowd shouted "Benedetto" Italian for Benedict as they waited for him to appear at the loggia. They cheered as they awaited his Easter blessing, this year being delivered in 63 languages.
In his first greeting in Italian Benedict offered special Easter wishes for the victims of Italy's devastating earthquake, praying that they have "the courage necessary to go forward together to build a future open to hope."
In his speech, Benedict said it was "urgent" to find hope around the globe, despite mounting reasons for despair.
"At a time of world food shortage, of financial turmoil, of old and new forms of poverty, of disturbing climate change, of violence and deprivation which force many to leave their homelands in search of a less precarious form of existence, of the ever present threat of terrorism, of growing fears over the future, it is urgent to rediscover grounds for hope," he said.
He recalled his recent trip to Africa in urging the faithful to keep up hope to combat poverty and wars.
"Africa suffers disproportionately from the cruel and unending conflicts, often forgotten, that are causing so much bloodshed and destruction in several of her nations, and from the growing numbers of her sons and daughters who fall prey to hunger, poverty and disease," Benedict said.
Benedict celebrated Easter Mass after presiding over the solemn, three-plus-hour Easter Vigil ceremony Saturday night. At the end of that service, Benedict sounded hoarse and looked tired.
But the pope who turns 82 on Thursday appeared well-rested by Sunday morning and held up well throughout the Mass.
He is expected to travel Sunday afternoon to the papal summer retreat in Castel Gandolfo, in the hills south of Rome, for a few days of rest after the busy Holy Week services.
The pope's May 8-15 Middle East tour, his first to the region as pope, will include Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories, with stops in cities including Amman, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth.
In Jerusalem today, Christians prayed at an ancient church and sang in a garden outside the walls of the Old City as they marked Easter Sunday in the city where they believe Jesus was crucified and resurrected.
The city buzzed with religious activity. Orthodox Christians, who observe a different calendar, marked Palm Sunday, and thousands of Jewish worshippers celebrating the Passover festival thronged a plaza opposite the Western Wall for a traditional blessing.
Roman Catholics held Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, traditionally believed to mark the site where Jesus was crucified, buried and then resurrected on Easter Sunday. Brown-robed friars marched into the church to the sound of bagpipes, followed by clergymen in purple capes and others bearing crosses.
Pilgrims stood by, some filming with small video cameras. The scene outside the church was broadcast to believers worldwide over the Internet by the Florida-based U.S. company IPrayTV.com.
"Words aren't adequate to express how moving it is to be in this place at this time," said Mark Walsh, 48, an auto shop owner from Houston, Texas.
Donna Hayes, a 40-year-old homemaker from Miramar, Florida, said it was a "special feeling to be here, where it all took place."
Another group of pilgrims chose to mark Easter Sunday outside the walls of the Old City at the Garden Tomb, which some Protestants sanctify as an alternative site for the last events of Jesus' life.
Protestant groups from the U.S., the Philippines and elsewhere gathered at the garden, swaying and singing along with a Christian rock band and listening to a sermon from Peter Wells, who heads the Garden Tomb Association.
"Risen lord Jesus, the lamb upon the throne, we join with all of heaven in declaring your glory," Wells said. "We welcome you to our resurrection garden, and invite you to have your way among us. As we celebrate today, and as we serve you tomorrow, we rejoice that you conquered sin, death and the grave, and that now you reign victorious, forever glorious."
Also Sunday morning, Orthodox priests in black robes and beards and carrying palm fronds filed into the Holy Sepulcher for their Palm Sunday ceremony. The Holy Sepulcher is shared by Catholic, Orthodox and Armenian Christians, along with several smaller sects.
Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus entered Jerusalem and was greeted by cheering crowds with palm fronds.
Not far away, in a plaza opposite the 2,000-year-old stones of the Western Wall, Jews gathered for the traditional priestly blessing, a remnant of ritual from the biblical Jewish Temple. The Western Wall, a retaining wall from the Second Temple, is the holiest site where Jews can pray.
Covered in white prayer shawls, descendants of the Temple's priestly class blessed the assembled worshippers: "May God lift his countenance upon you and may he give you peace."

Awww, Lucy is lovely! Hey Pet, I know of a great Bay Area photographer who specializes in pet photography (and owners too) if you are interested. In fact, he was recently voted the #1 Pet Photographer in San Francisco by the SF Chronicle and sfgate.com. I met him at our SF Chihuahua Meet-ups, and he was kind enough to do free promotional holiday photo shoots for us at our most recent meeting. It was fun, and we can purchase the photos that we want via his website (he even has cool stuff where you can buy all kinds of neat items with your favorite photo on it - deck of cards, tote bags, mugs, etc.). Just PM me if you, or anyone else, would like his info.

FOLFIRINOX for locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer: single institution retrospective review of efficacy and toxicity
ABSTRACT Although FOLFIRINOX significantly increases survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC) compared to gemcitabine (Conroy et al. N Engl J Med 364:1817-1825, 2011), toxicities have tempered enthusiasm for its use in full doses. To assess the impact of dose attenuations on toxicity and efficacy, we reviewed our institution's experience with FOLFIRINOX in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and MPC. We performed a retrospective review of dose, toxicity, and efficacy of FOLFIRINOX in all patients with LAPC and MPC treated between June 2010 and July 2011 at Yale. Toxicities in all patients and response rate (RR) and survival in previously untreated MPC were compared to data reported by Conroy. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Thirty-five patients were treated (16 LAPC; 19 MPC). Twenty-nine patients received dose attenuations with the first cycle. Median relative doses of irinotecan and bolus fluorouracil were less than those reported by Conroy (64 vs. 81 % and 66 vs. 82 %, respectively). RR was 50 % in LAPC and 47 % in MPC, and the latter did not differ significantly from the RR reported by Conroy (p = 0.19). OS at 6 and 12 months in MPC was comparable to OS reported by Conroy. Grade 3/4 toxicities were less than reported by Conroy, including fatigue (p = 0.009) and neutropenia (p < 0.0001). Nine patients experienced transient dysarthria during irinotecan administration. Our findings validate the efficacy and tolerability of FOLFIRINOX in LAPC and MPC and suggest that dose attenuations of irinotecan and bolus fluorouracil improve tolerability without compromising efficacy.

ABSTRACT: Due to extremely poor prognosis, pancreatic cancer (PDAC) represents the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in Western countries. For more than a decade, gemcitabine (Gem) has been the mainstay of first-line PDAC treatment. Many efforts aimed at improving single-agent Gem efficacy by either combining it with a second cytotoxic/molecularly targeted agent or pharmacokinetic modulation provided disappointing results. Recently, the field of systemic therapy of advanced PDAC is finally moving forward. Polychemotherapy has shown promise over single-agent Gem: regimens like PEFG-PEXG-PDXG and GTX provide significant potential advantages in terms of survival and/or disease control, although sometimes at the cost of poor tolerability. The PRODIGE 4/ACCORD 11 was the first phase III trial to provide unequivocal benefit using the polychemotherapy regimen FOLFIRINOX; however the less favorable safety profile and the characteristics of the enrolled population, restrict the use of FOLFIRINOX to young and fit PDAC patients. The nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-Paclitaxel) formulation was developed to overcome resistance due to the desmoplastic stroma surrounding pancreatic cancer cells. Regardless of whether or not this is its main mechanisms of action, the combination of nab-Paclitaxel plus Gem showed a statistically and clinically significant survival advantage over single agent Gem and significantly improved all the secondary endpoints. Furthermore, recent findings on maintenance therapy are opening up potential new avenues in the treatment of advanced PDAC, particularly in a new era in which highly effective first-line regimens allow patients to experience prolonged disease control. Here, we provide an overview of recent advances in the systemic treatment of advanced PDAC, mostly focusing on recent findings that have set new standards in metastatic disease. Potential avenues for further development in the metastatic setting and current efforts to integrate new effective chemotherapy regimens in earlier stages of disease (neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and multimodal approaches in both resectable and unresectable patients) are also briefly discussed.04/2015; 21(16):4788-4801.

Article: Novel approaches in the management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: potential promises for the future[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite a few breakthroughs in therapy for advanced disease in the recent years, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma continues to remain one of the most challenging human malignancies to treat. The overall prognosis for the majority of patients with pancreatic cancer is rather dismal, and therefore, more effective treatment options are being desperately sought. The practical goals of management are to improve the cure rates for patients with resectable disease, achieve a higher conversion rate of locally advanced tumor into potentially resectable disease, and finally, prolong the overall survival for those who develop metastatic disease. Our understanding of the complex genetic alterations, the implicated molecular pathways, and the role of desmoplastic stroma in pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis has increased several folds in the recent years. This has facilitated the development of novel therapeutic strategies against pancreatic cancer, some of which are currently under evaluation in ongoing preclinical and clinical studies. This review will summarize the existing treatment approaches for this devastating disease and also discuss the promising therapeutic approaches that are currently in different stages of clinical development.Journal of Hematology & Oncology 05/2015; 8(1):44.

Article: A synthetic lethal screen identifies the Vitamin D receptor as a novel gemcitabine sensitizer in pancreatic cancer cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Overcoming chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer (PCa) cells should significantly extend patient survival. The current treatment modalities rely on a variety of DNA damaging agents including gemcitabine, FOLFIRINOX, and Abraxane that activate cell cycle checkpoints, which allows cells to survive these drug treaments. Indeed, these treatment regimens have only extended patient survival by a few months. The complex microenvironment of PCa tumors has been shown to complicate drug delivery thus decreasing the sensitivity of PCa tumors to chemotherapy. In this study, a genome-wide siRNA library was used to conduct a synthetic lethal screen of Panc1 cells that was treated with gemcitabine. A sublethal dose (50 nM) of the drug was used to model situations of limiting drug availability to PCa tumors in vivo. Twenty-seven validated sensitizer genes were identified from the screen including the Vitamin D receptor (VDR). Gemcitabine sensitivity was shown to be VDR dependent in multiple PCa cell lines in clonogenic survival assays. Sensitization was not achieved through checkpoint override but rather through disrupting DNA repair. VDR knockdown disrupted the cells' ability to form phospho-γH2AX and Rad51 foci in response to gemcitabine treatment. Disruption of Rad51 foci formation, which compromises homologous recombination, was consistent with increased sensitivity of PCa cells to the PARP inhibitor Rucaparib. Thus inhibition of VDR in PCa cells provides a new way to enhance the efficacy of genotoxic drugs.Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.) 12/2014; 13(24):3839-56.

The North Hall High baseball team quickly won 15-1 against East Hall in a three-inning region contest Thursday at Jody Davis Field.
Three area golf teams are ranked in a Class AAA boys poll released by the Georgia High School Golf Coaches Association on Thursday.
West Hall High senior Marquise Stephens recently signed a letter of intent to play football at Mississippi Delta Community College in Moorhead, Mississippi.
Six area players and one coach were selected to Georgia Sports Writers Association All-State team released today.
Johnson High midfielder Alberto Olvera had a definite plan of attack on his free kick in overtime Wednesday night. It made the difference for the Knights as they walked out of War Eagles Stadium with a 2-1 win against Chestatee in the Northeast Georgia Mountain Cup.
The Flowery Branch High baseball team extended its winning streak to seven games with an 18-5 win against Johnson on Wednesday in Oakwood.
The Gainesville boys tennis team had a meeting prior to the start of this season and one topic dominated: winning a region championship.
Due to rainy weather, numerous high school sporting events scheduled for today have been postponed.
Continuity, experience and companionship are three ingredients that can be found on any successful baseball team. If you don't believe it, just ask the Lakeview Academy Lions.
FLOWERY BRANCH - The Class AAA third-ranked North Hall girls soccer team did everything needed in its 3-0 win over ninth-ranked Flowery Branch on Tuesday at Flowery Branch High.
The North Hall High boys golf team recognized its seniors by playing all of them in a 156-167 win against West Hall on Tuesday at Chestatee Golf Course in Dawsonville.
The Buford High baseball team opened up region play with a 13-11 win against Class AA's ninth-ranked Blessed Trinity on Monday at Buford City Park.
Chestatee High girls soccer coach Mark Dunn is used to winning Northeast Georgia Mountain Cup titles, even though the Lady War Eagles (10-3-1) qualified for their first tournament title game in school history with a 3-1 win against Habersham Central on Monday at War Eagles Stadium.
It's not often that Lumpkin County High's Devin Dunson leaves home plate without a hit.
FORSYTH - The Georgia High School Association has approved a four-year cycle for reclassification, beginning with the 2010-2011 school year.
Page 281 of 384
One head coach will be "coming full circle" to return to Gainesville High this fall, while another is preparing to square off against his former team.
Gainesville High senior Spencer Ralston shot a blistering 6-under par on the back nine Monday to finish tied for second in the U.S. Junior Amateur qualifier in Athens.
All-Area Golf Coach of the Year
As Madison Caldwell walked the fairway at Horseshoe Bend Country Club in Roswell, the Dawson County senior doubled over in the pain that she was feeling in the right side of her stomach, taking the breath out of her lungs for a second or two.
It's no longer about setting records or winning tournaments for Gainesville's Spencer Ralston - but he's more than happy to reap the benefits of his own hard work.
Gainesville High senior Spencer Ralston earned second place, behind a strong third-round 67, at the Georgia Junior Championship on Wednesday in Augusta. Ralston, the Class AAAAA Golfer of the Year, finished the 54-hole, three-day outing with a total score of 8-under (208).
Bob Christmas and Bruce Miller will get another chance to face off on opposing sidelines. This time around, however, it will come with much less on the line for their respective football programs.
Spencer Adams is not going to let the projections of his talent interfere with his preparation. The first-year minor league right-handed pitcher for Single-A Kannapolis Intimidators of the White Sox organization said he's going to continue to show up to the ballpark every day with one goal in mind: What do I have to do to get better?
White County's newest baseball and softball head coaches will have a local legend in their dugouts this fall.

Very clean & VERY nice. Nice sized room & bed. I loved the sink in the bathroom! I could smell bacon in the bathroom in the morning which was amazing but I was late for work so I couldn't have any!
The only thing I didn't like was the fan in the room didn't work. I like to sleep with a fan on.

Calender Paper Envelope by Anonymous
When I want to give a gift certificate to someone, I make an envelope out of calendar pictures/pages. I start by trimming the rough edges. Then I decide on the orientation of the picture, which is the outside of the envelope. Then I fold the side edges about 1/3 to 1/2 inch. Then I fold the page into three parts. One part (the lip or opening) is smaller than the rest. I cut a "V" shape out of the side folds at the folds (4 all together). Then I cut off the side flaps on the top and bottom folded parts leaving the center flaps on. The bottom third of the page is glued with stick glue or tape to the side flaps remaining in the center part. Then it's done.

if you cannot picture it, get an envelope you like the shape of and open it up and use as a template.

A picture or two would have been very helpful as I am having a very hard time picturing the cuts on the flaps and the subsequent folding.

Monash staff meet
Staff at Monash Gippsland will this afternoon be updated on the proposed new university at Churchill.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The "all staff conversation" with Pro Vice-Chancellor Robin Pollard, comes just before a Monash University Council meeting which will tonight decide whether it should go ahead with plans to create a new institution with the University of Ballarat.
The executive officer of Monash University Gippsland's Student Union, Dan Jordan says staff are still concerned about the proposal and morale is low.
"People are leaving the campus every day, academics and other staff... or are in the process of going," Mr Jordan says.
"We've heard stuff like if you're a Monash staff member and you're based at Gippsland but 70 per cent of your teaching load is at Berwick campus, then you can go over to the Berwick campus but there doesn't seem to be any definitive answers to those questions."
Mr Jordan is equally concerned about the future of the Gippsland student union of which he has been involved with for the past two decades.
The University of Ballarat does not have an independent student organisation.
"They're certainly willing to enter into discussions and we're willing to enter into discussions but we've got a business to run and unless we have something in writing that gives us certainty into the future then we're really going to have to consider our position as an organisation," Mr Jordan says.
The University of Ballarat Council will meet tomorrow to discuss the proposal.
If both university councils support the plan, it will go to the state and federal governments for endorsement.
The new university would become operational from 1 January next year.
The Monash University Gippsland Future website states the same courses currently offered at the Churchill campus will continue to be offered in 2014.

We need to determine how bad the sills are before we proceed.
Caulking on the sill or window that is pulling away a little in a few areas only requires a quick fix. Cut away the caulk that's pulling away by using a utility knife. Be careful not to cut too deeply into the sill.
Taking care of the sills of your windows is a normal part of home maintenance and should be taken care of every two to three years. In your bathrooms and kitchens, because of moisture, this maintenance probably needs to be done yearly.Continue reading →

Wedding Trivia:PLAYING PRANKSPlaying pranks on the newlywed couple was also a tradition, which began with the intentions of warding off evil spirits. Loyal friends of the couple would do this in hopes that the spirits would take pity on the couple for already being picked upon enough, and would then leave the couple alone.

Lupita Nyong'o: 'It's 2015, man. We could all use some diversity' She Tells Harper's Bazaar UK April 2015
Lupita Nyong'o is adjusting well as an international spokesperson for beauty. Interviewed in the May issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, the 32-year-old actress is confident, dazzling, and joyful. Speaking of changing beauty standards, Lupita says with her usual, earnest candor: 'It's 2015, man. We could all use some diversity. I don't feel like the responsibility I feel comes from any place other than my gut.'
Nyong'o - who was raised in Kenya and attributes much of graceful elegance to the ceremonial nature of her culture - feels that her 'unique position' gives her a responsibility to speak out for what she describes as 'her demographic'.
'I wish that I took it more lightly sometimes because it costs a lot," she says. "Which is why I can't do those speeches every weekend, because it costs a lot to share from such a deep place, if you will. But I don't know how to speak from any other place. Kenyans are very ceremonial. There is a formality that comes with gatherings and comes from our colonial conditioning… Oratory is something that's really important to Kenyans, the way one speaks to the masses, it's an art almost.'I feel a responsibility to speak about certain things because I wish someone had spoken about them for me," she said.
I know I'm in a unique position where lots of people all over the world are seeing me and connecting with me, and perhaps because of my demographic and how limited representation is for my demographic, I do feel not a responsibility but an impetus to speak.
Personally, I am struggling with the comments of HuffPo beauty editor Dana Oliver's comments about Lupita, who she personally praises.
Labeling Nyong'o as the "new face of beauty" is a harsh reminder that the fashion industry encourages a standard of beauty where black women such as Nyong'o are considered "exotic," or worse, simply ignored. The reality is that Nyong'o is beautiful even if she wasn't an ambassador for Lancôme or a red carpet darling. Black will always be beautiful.
Lupita Nyong'o has the grace, elegance and warmth of Audrey Hepburn. If that makes her 'exotic', so be it. She is articulate and hardly being buttoned up by Lancome's PR team. I am lost in Oliver's argument.
Lupita is lensed by Alexi Lubomirski, who has shot her on several occasions now.

Development of a microinjection system for RNA interference in the water flea Daphnia pulex

BMC Biotechnology 2013, 13:96 doi:10.1186/1472-6750-13-96Published: 5 November 2013
The ubiquitous, freshwater microcrustacean Daphnia pulex provides a model system for both human health research and monitoring ecosystem integrity. It is the first crustacean to have a well annotated, reference genome assembly that revealed an unusually high gene count highlighted by a large gene orphanage,-i.e., previously uncharacterized genes. Daphnia are capable of either clonal or sexual reproduction, making them ideally suited for genetic manipulation, but the establishment of gene manipulation techniques is needed to accurately define gene functions. Although previous investigations developed an RNA interference (RNAi) system for one congener D. magna, these methods are not appropriate for D. pulex because of the smaller size of their early embryos. In these studies, we develop RNAi techniques for D. pulex by first determining the optimum culture conditions of their isolated embryos and then applying these conditions to the development of microinjection techniques and proof-of-principle RNAi experiments.
We found that isolated embryos were best cultured on a 2% agar plate bathed in 60 mM sucrose dissolved in M4 media, providing optimal conditions for microinjections. Then, we injected double-stranded (ds)RNA specific to the Distal-less gene (Dll), which is a homeobox transcription factor essential for limb development in invertebrates and vertebrates. Injected embryos presented with defects in the second antenna and appendage development, and dsRNA induced the degradation of Dll mRNAs, indicating that this technique successfully inhibited transcription of the target gene.
We developed a microinjection system for RNAi studies in D. pulex. These techniques add to the growing genomic toolbox and enhance the genetic tractability of this important model for environmental, evolutionary, and developmental genomics.

This Sweet Scene of a Dog Licking a Cat Is About to Be Interrupted by Something Gross
Nothing can ruin this precious moment of a dog licking a cat, right? Wrong!
Nothing can ruin this precious moment of a dog licking a cat, right? Wrong!
Four-legged friend? Try two-legged friend.
It can be hard to tell whether this video, in which a dog's treat DISAPPEARS, is just plain hilarious, or if it's also a bit mean.
Much like Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear in 'Risky Business,' this pooch knows how to kick back when the adults leave the house.
The viral sensation of strangers kissing for the first time has spawned an unlikely imitator.
Some dogs get excited when their owners return home. Other dogs get really excited.
Sometimes it's just too bright out there and even closing your eyes isn't enough.
Even if you sleep for 20 hours a day, like a standard housecat, there's really nothing like a good back rub to relax you.
They're supposed to be archenemies, right? But you'd never know it by how these cats and dogs are behaving.
Is this a cat or a jack-in-the-box?
Check out this feisty feline, which is determined to get the door opened.
She's got some serious hops. If no one opened the door, we say the cat should hop onto the roof and slide down through the chimney
It's important to give thanks, even for kibble.
This just might be the best commercial for a mobile network with a singing cat that you'll ever see.
A dog may be man's best friend, but it's clear this pooch would like a cat to be his.
What's cuter than an adorable critter snoozing the afternoon away? A bunch of them napping together!
Maybe it was really a cat door and they just made a little mistake.

Contingency Contracting:
DOD, State, and USAID Contracts and Contractor Personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan
GAO-09-19: Published: Oct 1, 2008. Publicly Released: Oct 1, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7773
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Departments of Defense (DOD) and State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have relied extensively on contractors to carry out a range of services in Iraq and Afghanistan. While recognizing the benefits of using contractors, GAO and others have noted the challenges and risks associated with an increased reliance on contractors and the ability of agencies to manage their growing number of contractors. As directed by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, GAO analyzed DOD, State, and USAID data on contracting activities in Iraq and Afghanistan for fiscal year 2007 and the first half of fiscal year 2008 including (1) the number and value of contracts and the extent they were awarded competitively; (2) the number of contractor personnel, including those performing security functions; and (3) the number of contractor personnel who were killed or wounded. GAO also reviewed the status of the three agencies' memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to maintaining data on contracts and contractor personnel. GAO reviewed selected contract files and compared personnel data to other available sources to assess the reliability of the data reported by the agencies. GAO provided a draft of this report to DOD, State, USAID, and the Department of Labor for comment. State and USAID provided technical comments that were incorporated where appropriate.
For the 18-month period GAO reviewed, DOD, State, and USAID reported obligating at least $33.9 billion on almost 57,000 contracts for efforts such as construction, capacity building, security, and a range of support services for U.S. forces and other government personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. About three-fourths of the reported obligations were for contracts with performance in Iraq. Of the total obligations, DOD accounted for almost 90 percent. Most of the three agencies' active contracts were awarded during GAO's review period and of these, about two-thirds were competed to one extent or another. However, during its file reviews in Iraq and Afghanistan, GAO found that DOD may have understated the extent to which it competed some contracts. Complete and reliable data were not available for GAO to determine the total number of contractor personnel who worked on DOD, State, and USAID contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to DOD's quarterly census, there were 197,718 contractor personnel working on its contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan as of April 2008. However, DOD did not routinely evaluate the data for accuracy and the number of local nationals working on contracts may be underreported. Neither State nor USAID had systems in place during our review period to track the number of contractor personnel. As a result, they could not provide complete personnel data. For example, while State and USAID had information from their contractors on the number of personnel performing security and demining functions in Afghanistan, they did not have similar information on personnel performing other functions in Afghanistan. According to DOD and State officials, information on killed and wounded contractor personnel was not systematically tracked, which left them unable to provide reliable or complete data. While USAID could not provide specifics on its contractor personnel, USAID informed us that 206 individuals working on its projects, including contractor personnel, had been killed or injured in Iraq and Afghanistan during GAO's review period. Data available from Labor provides insight into the number of contractor personnel killed or injured as a result of hostile actions, accidents, and other causes while working on U.S. government contracts. Based on data provided by Labor, there were 455 reports received of contractors killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the period of our review and 15,787 reports of injuries. However, there may be additional contractor deaths or injuries that were not reported to Labor. In July 2008, the three agencies signed an MOU in which they agreed to use a DOD database to collect and maintain information on contracts and contractor personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to DOD officials, as the agencies work together to implement the MOU, the agencies' ability to report on the number and value of contracts and the number of contractor personnel should improve.
