How Many Managers Are Needed to Install Bathroom Stalls?
How many managers did D.C. need in order to buy and install bathroom stalls for the newly renovated Anacostia High School? Let's count:
We begin with the city, which has placed responsibility with $3.5 billion in school construction with the Office of Public Education Facilities Modernization, which was then headed by City Administrator Allen Lew when the Anacostia contracts were approved.
Next comes the D.C. Partnership for the Revitalization of Education Project, a joint venture of McKissack & McKissack and Brailsford & Dunlavey. Lew outsourced the management of school construction contracts to these firms. (They are paid handsomely for their work, which has expanded to other city construction projects with the creation last year of the Department of General Services. Their most recent contract pays the equivalent of $315,000 per full-time employee.)
Next: the general contractor selected by the city and D.C. PEP. At Anacostia, the city joint venture that in theory would be controlled by a certified local company. In reality, Maryland-based Forrester Construction ran the show. As the general contractor, Forrester contracted directly with suppliers to provide materials needed for a school construction project, including lockers, bleachers, marker boards, and even an art kiln, according to Forrester's own records (obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request).
Here's where things get tricky with the bathroom stalls. Instead of contracting directly with the Pennsylvania-based supplier of the school's "toilet partitions and compartments," Forrester and Department of General Services records show the $100,000 contract for that work instead went to another general contractor: Blue Skye Construction.
Blue Skye is a well-known local construction company that was very successful at landing city contracts when former Mayor Adrian Fenty was in office. In 2010, the city paid Blue Skye and a joint venture partner nearly $20 million directly for construction work. In 2009, Blue Skye and Donatelli Development were awarded the rights to development of the land next to the Minnesota Avenue Metro station. Blue Skye's president, Scottie Irving, was close to Fenty and cut an ad for his 2010 reelection campaign.
So why is a well-established contractor managing a piddling $100,000 bathroom stall contract? And does such a small contract even need another level of construction management?
Darrell Pressley, a spokesman for DGS, suggests that the Blue Skye contract is standard industry practice.
"In the instance of the toilet partitions, there are two independent activities that take place, which are the manufacturing/supply of materials and goods, and the installation of the product," Pressley writes to LL. "The toilet partitions were manufactured by a Pennsylvania company which supplies that product, but does not perform the installation. Toilet partitions are considered a specialty trade, in which this work is typically packaged with other similar work to a company who has the capacity to coordinate and install the work."
But there's a problem with this explanation: certified payroll records obtained through another FOIA show that the Pennsylvania-based supplier, Materials Distributors, actually managed its own installer, Atlantic Installations, which is based in Maryland. For more than a year, Materials Distributors sent Blue Skye copies of Atlantic Installations' payroll sheets, which LL obtained through another FOIA request, showing sporadic work being done by one carpenter who lives in Frederick, Md. The payroll sheets were accompanied with a note from Materials indicating that it was sending the payroll sheets of "our installer." (On its website, Material Distributors says it's "always at your service for every aspect of the job, from estimating to installation.")
Irving says Blue Skye tried to hire a Ward 8 contractor to install the partitions, but the contractor never showed up for the job. As for what Blue Skye was doing on the contract in the first place, Irving says he bid on the job because he was looking to train a new employee as a project manager on a smaller contract. He says his newly hired employee gained valuable experience managing the Anacostia toilet partition contract but that Blue Skye did not turn a profit. Irving says that even if Forrester could have contracted directly with the supplier for a lower cost, the city still benefited from having a local company involved.
"Yeah, the city is paying for me to give [the project manager] on-the-job training," Irving says, adding that if the District doesn't increase the capacity of District-based contractors, it's going to continue to lose more money in terms of tax revenue and construction jobs to out-of-state companies. "Either you're going to pay now, or you're going to pay later."
Though it's a fair point that the District needs to increase its local capacity of construction contractors, the question is whether opportunities for these kind of gigs are distributed fairly. Blue Skye was already well-established and successful when it won the Anacostia contract. If the city is going to pay extra to help a local contractor, wouldn't that money be better spent with a less-established contractor?
It's worth remembering that another contractor close to Fenty, Keith Lomax, also won a contract to manage a single drywall contractor. The drywaller says he was ordered by Forrester to contract through Lomax's company, which had zero interaction with the drywall crew. A DGS official has since said the agency found that Lomax's contract did not meet DGS' "standards" for subcontractors.
One other point: both Forrester and DGS records indicate that the entire $100,000 contract went to a local Certified Business Enterprise. Blue Skye is a CBE, but the Pennsylvania-based supplier and Maryland-based installer are not, indicating that the city may be overstating CBE participation on Anacostia project.

Start with dry, barely wavy hair and create a center part. Leaving a few long pieces out in front, gather your length in back. Twist your hair a few times until it buckles upon itself to form a bun and pin into place against the back of your head. Spray with a light mist of hairspray for long-lasting hold.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

From the Director of Army Safety - Measuring Up
Feb 1, 2013
One of the perennial questions in safety is, "How do we measure what we're doing?" Too often, the only metric we have available is how many Soldiers died in accidents during any particular period. We've gotten into the habit of looking at those numbers and attributing our safety programs' success or failure to them. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; we obviously want the arrow pointing downward on accidental deaths. But, I don't believe it's enough to quantify what we do every day with only a single figure - safety is much bigger and more complex than that.

Department of Defense to Open Source Corporate Management Information System
DISA and OSSI Collaborate to Expand Strategic Open Source Opportunities for Government IT Systems
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The DoD's Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Open Source Software Institute (OSSI) announced today a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between DISA and OSSI, a US-based non-profit membership organization.
"CMIS is a core product within the DISA's IT system"
The CRADA involves release of an open source version of DISA's internally-developed Corporate Management Information System (CMIS) for the purpose of a collaborative partnership between Government, non-profit organizations, academia and industry to research and develop state-of-the-art capabilities and functionality for DISA software for use by DoD, the Federal Government, state and local governments and the public. The CMIS program is a web-based Federal administrative software suite consisting of more than 50 applications which handles human resource, training, security, acquisition and related functions for DISA's more than 16,000 users worldwide.
The announcement was made during a presentation at the National Security Agency (NSA) and DISA Technology Transfer Showcase at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland. The event featured executive management from both agencies who provided insights into their latest technologies made available for licensing through Technology Transfer (T2) programs.
"CMIS is a core product within the DISA's IT system," said Jack Penkoske, DISA's Director of Manpower, Security and Personnel. "We have a lot invested in the CMIS application suite and numerous other Government agencies have asked if we'd allow them to adopt CMIS for their internal use. We chose a CRADA and open source model so that we could leverage other agencies', academic, industry and the Open Source community's enhancements and modifications to improve DISA's system. We believe this will be a win-win for all involved."
"Creating an open source version of CMIS is important in several ways," said John Weathersby, of the Open Source Software Institute. "Software developed by Government employees falls under 'public domain.' By distributing the program under an open source license, the Government retains access to the system without having to worry that they'll have to repay for the development of something that was originally created with public funds.
"Since CMIS is now released under an open source license, commercial, academic and non-profit entities can adopt and support the system, as long as they adhere to the license agreement. There are two license variants available from OSSI, the Open Software License v.3.0 and the Academic Free License v.3.0," he said.
About the Defense Information Systems Agency
DISA is a combat support agency for the Department of Defense and provides real-time information technology (IT) and communications support to the president, vice president, secretary of defense, the military services, and all combatant commands. From its Arlington, Va., headquarters and through worldwide field activities, DISA offers IT services and capabilities that enable our nation's military to accomplish their missions.
About the Open Source Software Institute
The Open Source Software Institute (http://oss-institute.org) is a US-based, non-profit, membership-based organization whose mission is to promote the adoption and implementation of open source software solutions within US Federal, state and municipal government agencies.

Of Gods and MenDes hommes et des dieux
France, 2010, 120 Minute Running Time
Topics: Drama, History, Religion, War
Programs: Awards Buzz : Best Foreign Language Film, Best of the FestLanguage: French
Awards: Cannes Film Festival 2010 (Grand Jury Prize)
Based on a true incident, the film is set in a Cistercian monastery in Algeria in the 1990s, where eight French monks have lived for years in harmony with the local population. The monastery's abbot, Brother Christian, is as well versed in the Koran as in the Bible, giving him a special insight into, and respect for, the nation he has chosen to work in. But the country is increasingly in the grip of fundamentalist violence, and the brothers must soon decide whether to stay or leave. A compassionate plea for understanding between cultures, the film muses on the meaning of religious vocation in a violent world, and tackles its subject with authoritative, non-sensationalist forcefulness. Superbly photographed by Caroline Champetier, this powerful but understated drama features terrific performances by an ensemble cast including the magisterial Michael Lonsdale as the monastery's resident medic. Director Xavier Beauvois' most mature film to date is a work of real contemporary import. Winner, Jury Prize, Cannes Film Festival.

IN BRIEF - Government Accountability Office Calls USDA Catfish Program a Waste for 10th Time
Saturday, April 30, 2016
Washington, DC – The USDA's catfish inspection program wastes millions of taxpayer dollars and does a job already being done by the FDA, according to the non-partisan Government Accountability Office (GAO.) For the tenth time in five years the GAO has included the program in its rogue's gallery of wasteful federal boondoggles.
The GAO pulls no punches when it suggests, "Congress should consider repealing provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill assigning the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsibility for examining and inspecting catfish and for creating a catfish inspection program." (p.26)
For years the program has been lambasted for its waste:
-"It would be funny if it weren't so costly…" –Wall Street Journal
-"…they've spent about twenty million doing nothing." –Citizens Against Government Waste
-"If there were legitimate food safety reasons for having USDA inspect catfish, we wouldn't be having this discussion." – John McCain (R-AZ)
-"Congress needs to eliminate this new regulation immediately because taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for more bloated bureaucracy."—Taxpayers Protection Alliance

IN BRIEF - HCM City bans trade in contaminated fish
Saturday, April 30, 2016
HCM City - HCM City authorities will work closely with central provinces, where mass fish deaths have occurred because of chemical substances discharged into waterways, to prevent and stop the trade of dead or dying fish from these areas in HCM City.
Võ Van Hoan, chief of HCM City People's Committee Office, said at a press conference held in the city yesterday: "If we don't prevent unsafe and unhygienic food, local resident's health as well as tourism will suffer the consequences."
He said that the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development had issued a ban on transport and trade of dead or dying fish.
Hoan said that trade in these fish had already occurred.
Many seafood enterprises have shifted seafood purchasing from the central province of Khánh Hòa to the south to ensure safety for customers.

IN BRIEF - Environment official apologises for response to fish deaths
HÀ N?I — "As a minister, I am sorry," Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tr?n H?ng Hà told local media on April the 29th of 2016 as he led an inspection team to take samples of water and sediment in the sea off of Vung Áng in the central Hà Tinh Province.
The team was sent to investigate the cause of mass fish deaths along the central coastal provinces that occurred earlier that month.
"This is the first time an environmental disaster like this is happening to Vi?t Nam," Hà elaborated. "Although relevant ministries are working hard to fix the problem, the way we dealt with it was still slow and ham-fisted, and failed to meet expectations from people as well as the media."
The apology was issued after an especially short press conference held at 8pm on Wednesday by the ministry to report on the causes of the mass fish deaths. Based on initial investigations, the causes were identified to be toxic discharge by human activities on land or at sea, and red tie phenomenon - when dangerous algae bloom occurs at an abnormal rate and produces toxins.

A similar commitment was made in December 2014, when the ministers last met, and while many of the faces had changed, assistant agriculture minister Anne Ruston said the goals remained the same.
Senator Ruston said the implementation of theNorthern Australia White Paper, a productivity commission review into fisheries regulation and the involvement of the recreational fishing industry in developing policies were all signs minsters were committed to the previous' meetings objectives.

IN BRIEF - Tesco – leading on sustainable seafood
Tesco has announced on April the 29th of 2016 a number of measures which will see it source even more of the seafood it sells in a sustainable way, in partnership with the Marine Stewardship Council. To achieve this, Tesco is:
-Rapidly expanding the MSC-ecolabel scheme for pre-packed and frozen fish sold in Tesco stores;
-Introducing MSC-certified fish to its 656 fish counters, making sustainable fish accessible to shoppers across the UK; and
-Ensuring that all tuna sold at Tesco stores is sourced in a sustainable way, whether own label or branded.
In April 2016, Tesco introduced the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) ecolabel across 28 different types of chilled prepacked fish – including cod fillets, smoked kippers, haddock fishcakes and fish fingers. The following month, it will introduce the label to its 656 fish counters across the UK, and later this year will introduce it to relevant frozen fish lines too.

IN BRIEF - Maine's lobster season off to an early start
Maine lobster production is the state's most lucrative fishing industry, bringing in about USD 457 million and 124 million pounds of lobster in 2014. The lobster fishing season in Maine usually kicks off in April. As spring fills the air, lobstermen fill their boats with traps and head out on the ocean to set them. The months of May and June are typically slow for fishing as the water continues to heat up. However, by mid to late July, the Gulf of Maine is typically significantly warmer, which triggers the seasonal molt. Lobsters begin to shed their old shells, which allows them to grow in size and become large enough to meet Maine's strict size requirements for harvesting. Newly shed, or "new shell," lobsters are very hungry which makes them perfect for trapping. The meat of a new shell (or soft shell) lobster is extremely sweet and tender and draws many tourists to lobster shacks and restaurants in Maine during the months of July, August, and September.
While this pattern of the spring and summer Maine lobster season is typically consistent every year, this year Maine is experiencing an unusually early start to the lobster season. The Gulf of Maine Research Institute reported that temperatures in Maine's coastal waters have been warm throughout the beginning of 2016. The temperatures at 50-meters at four coastal buoys in the Gulf of Maine remain approximately one degree Celsius warmer than normal. Across the region, sea surface temperatures have been running 0.5–1 degrees Celsius warmer than normal over the past week, with the Maine coast being at the cool end of the range. Based on the current buoy temperatures, The Gulf of Maine Research Institute's forecast predicts a 41 percent chance that the season will start three weeks earlier than normal, a 56 percent chance that it will start two weeks early, and only a 3 percent chance that it will begin one week early. Andrew Pershing, GMRI's Chief Scientific Officer stated, "July 4 is typically considered to be a normal start date for the lobster fishery in Maine." He went on to explain that "if the timing is off by just a few weeks, it can have a major impact throughout the supply chain."

IN BRIEF - EDS questions motivation of fisheries companies
Saturday, April 30, 2016
The Environmental Defence Society has responded to the media release and High Court proceedings filed today by the Fishing Industry Association and a number of fishing companies challenging the proposed Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary.
"We are gob-smacked by this announcement," said EDS CEO Gary Taylor.
"We are hugely disappointed that the industry, after extolling its acceptance of good corporate behavior in recent years, is reverting to its previous narrow and self-interested approach to marine management issues. I couldn't be more disappointed.
"We intend to liaise with the primary drivers of the Kermadec initiative - Pew, WWF and Forest and Bird - and will consider joining the proceedings and vigorously opposing them. We will first instruct senior counsel and get good advice on the merits of doing so.

BT are without doubt the worst broadband provider in my area. 8MBS if you are lucky. Virgin can provide up to 120MBS. So naturally almost everyone in my area is on Virgin. There is no way I will pay more to watch MotoGP on BTsport. I have already stopped watching and attending F1races since it went PPV. I shall divert my passion to BSB because its only a matter of time before Dorna **** up WSBK too.
