...it ain't where ya from, it's where ya at... - Rakim
Wow. I had never seen this either. It's mostly straight forward and logical. I like this. He should form that artists' coalition that he used to talk about. I'm sure he could at least get someone like Courtney Love or David Bowie in his ring. Kick ass Prince!
mrchristian
They cut it out, but anyone remember his response to the guy from Howard Stern's radio show? I think the Q was 'Who would win in a fight between MJ and you?'
It was there. It was in part 2 of the conference.

Very interesting!! I've never heard this
BTW, why all the questions about the "EGG"
structure on Paisley Park on the Org?
Prince answered this question is this
press conference.
It's intended to be a food distribution center
for local ppl in need of food.
I've heard ppl say it was gonna be a museum, and
JW hall. Good luck to Prince, his heart is in
the right place!
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

There are three broad aspects to the U.S. debt crisis. First, in the current fiscal year (2008) we are spending insane amounts of money on "defense" projects that bear no relation to the national security of the U.S. We are also keeping the income tax burdens on the richest segment of the population at strikingly low levels.
Third, in our devotion to militarism (despite our limited resources), we are failing to invest in our social infrastructure and other requirements for the long-term health of the U.S. These are what economists call opportunity costs, things not done because we spent our money on something else. Our public education system has deteriorated alarmingly. We have failed to provide health care to all our citizens and neglected our responsibilities as the world's number one polluter. Most important, we have lost our competitiveness as a manufacturer for civilian needs, an infinitely more efficient use of scarce resources than arms manufacturing.
It is virtually impossible to overstate the profligacy of what our government spends on the military. The Department of Defense's planned expenditures for the fiscal year 2008 are larger than all other nations' military budgets combined. The supplementary budget to pay for the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, not part of the official defense budget, is itself larger than the combined military budgets of Russia and China. Defense-related spending for fiscal 2008 will exceed $1 trillion for the first time in history. The U.S. has become the largest single seller of arms and munitions to other nations on Earth. Leaving out President Bush's two on-going wars, defense spending has doubled since the mid-1990s. The defense budget for fiscal 2008 is the largest since the second world war.
Before we try to break down and analyze this gargantuan sum, there is one important caveat. Figures on defense spending are notoriously unreliable. The numbers released by the Congressional Reference Service and the Congressional Budget Office do not agree with each other. Robert Higgs, senior fellow for political economy at the Independent Institute, says: "A well-founded rule of thumb is to take the Pentagon's (always well publicized) basic budget total and double it." Even a cursory reading of newspaper articles about the Department of Defense will turn up major differences in statistics about its expenses. Some 30-40% of the defense budget is 'black,'" meaning that these sections contain hidden expenditures for classified projects. There is no possible way to know what they include or whether their total amounts are accurate.
There are many reasons for this budgetary sleight-of-hand — including a desire for secrecy on the part of the president, the secretary of defense, and the military-industrial complex — but the chief one is that members of Congress, who profit enormously from defense jobs and pork-barrel projects in their districts, have a political interest in supporting the Department of Defense. In 1996, in an attempt to bring accounting standards within the executive branch closer to those of the civilian economy, Congress passed the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act. It required all federal agencies to hire outside auditors to review their books and release the results to the public. Neither the Department of Defense, nor the Department of Homeland Security, has ever complied. Congress has complained, but not penalized either department for ignoring the law. All numbers released by the Pentagon should be regarded as suspect.
In discussing the fiscal 2008 defense budget, as released on 7 February 2007, I have been guided by two experienced and reliable analysts: William D Hartung of the New America Foundation's Arms and Security Initiative and Fred Kaplan, defense correspondent for Slate.org. They agree that the Department of Defense requested $481.4bn for salaries, operations (except in Iraq and Afghanistan), and equipment. They also agree on a figure of $141.7bn for the "supplemental" budget to fight the global war on terrorism — that is, the two on-going wars that the general public may think are actually covered by the basic Pentagon budget. The Department of Defense also asked for an extra $93.4bn to pay for hitherto unmentioned war costs in the remainder of 2007 and, most creatively, an additional "allowance" (a new term in defense budget documents) of $50bn to be charged to fiscal year 2009. This makes a total spending request by the Department of Defense of $766.5bn.
Such expenditures are not only morally obscene, they are fiscally unsustainable. Many neo-conservatives and poorly informed patriotic Americans believe that, even though our defense budget is huge, we can afford it because we are the richest country on Earth. That statement is no longer true. The world's richest political entity, according to the CIA's World Factbook, is the European Union. The E.U.'s 2006 GDP was estimated to be slightly larger than that of the U.S. Moreover, China's 2006 GDP was only slightly smaller than that of the U.S., and Japan was the world's fourth richest nation.
A more telling comparison that reveals just how much worse we're doing can be found among the current accounts of various nations. The current account measures the net trade surplus or deficit of a country plus cross-border payments of interest, royalties, dividends, capital gains, foreign aid, and other income. In order for Japan to manufacture anything, it must import all required raw materials. Even after this incredible expense is met, it still has an $88bn per year trade surplus with the U.S. and enjoys the world's second highest current account balance (China is number one). The U.S. is number 163 — last on the list, worse than countries such as Australia and the U.K. that also have large trade deficits. Its 2006 current account deficit was $811.5bn; second worst was Spain at $106.4bn. This is unsustainable.
It's not just that our tastes for foreign goods, including imported oil, vastly exceed our ability to pay for them. We are financing them through massive borrowing. On 7 November 2007, the U.S. Treasury announced that the national debt had breached $9 trillion for the first time. This was just five weeks after Congress raised the "debt ceiling" to $9.815 trillion. If you begin in 1789, at the moment the constitution became the supreme law of the land, the debt accumulated by the federal government did not top $1 trillion until 1981. When George Bush became president in January 2001, it stood at approximately $5.7 trillion. Since then, it has increased by 45%. This huge debt can be largely explained by our defense expenditures.
This ideology goes back to the first years of the cold war. During the late 1940s, the U.S. was haunted by economic anxieties. The great depression of the 1930s had been overcome only by the war production boom of the second world war. With peace and demobilization, there was a pervasive fear that the depression would return. During 1949, alarmed by the Soviet Union's detonation of an atomic bomb, the looming Communist victory in the Chinese civil war, a domestic recession, and the lowering of the Iron Curtain around the USSR's European satellites, the U.S. sought to draft basic strategy for the emerging cold war. The result was the militaristic National Security Council Report 68 (NSC-68) drafted under the supervision of Paul Nitze, then head of the Policy Planning Staff in the State Department. Dated 14 April 1950 and signed by President Harry S. Truman on 30 September 1950, it laid out the basic public economic policies that the U.S. pursues to the present day.
With this understanding, U.S. strategists began to build up a massive munitions industry, both to counter the military might of the Soviet Union (which they consistently overstated) and also to maintain full employment, as well as ward off a possible return of the depression. The result was that, under Pentagon leadership, entire new industries were created to manufacture large aircraft, nuclear-powered submarines, nuclear warheads, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and surveillance and communications satellites. This led to what President Eisenhower warned against in his farewell address of 6 February 1961: "The conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience" — the military-industrial complex.
It was believed that the U.S. could afford both a massive military establishment and a high standard of living, and that it needed both to maintain full employment. But it did not work out that way. By the 1960s it was becoming apparent that turning over the nation's largest manufacturing enterprises to the Department of Defense and producing goods without any investment or consumption value was starting to crowd out civilian economic activities. The historian Thomas E Woods Jr. observes that, during the 1950s and 1960s, between one-third and two-thirds of all U.S. research talent was siphoned off into the military sector. It is, of course, impossible to know what innovations never appeared as a result of this diversion of resources and brainpower into the service of the military, but it was during the 1960s that we first began to notice Japan was outpacing us in the design and quality of a range of consumer goods, including household electronics and automobiles.
Nuclear weapons furnish a striking illustration of these anomalies. Between the 1940s and 1996, the U.S. spent at least $5.8 trillion on the development, testing and construction of nuclear bombs. By 1967, the peak year of its nuclear stockpile, the U.S. possessed some 32,500 deliverable atomic and hydrogen bombs, none of which, thankfully, was ever used. They perfectly illustrate the Keynesian principle that the government can provide make-work jobs to keep people employed. Nuclear weapons were not just America's secret weapon, but also its secret economic weapon. As of 2006, we still had 9,960 of them. There is today no sane use for them, while the trillions spent on them could have been used to solve the problems of social security and health care, quality education and access to higher education for all, not to speak of the retention of highly-skilled jobs within the economy.
Nothing has been done since 1968 to reverse these trends and it shows today in our massive imports of equipment — from medical machines like proton accelerators for radiological therapy (made primarily in Belgium, Germany, and Japan) to cars and trucks.
Some of the damage can never be rectified. There are, however, some steps that the U.S. urgently needs to take. These include reversing Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for the wealthy, beginning to liquidate our global empire of over 800 military bases, cutting from the defense budget all projects that bear no relationship to national security and ceasing to use the defense budget as a Keynesian jobs program.


Welcome subscribers! This is a short edition of the journal due to Renata's attendance at the ACTU OHS/WC conference. A brief report is provided below.
The ACTU, Australia's peak union council, this week held its annual Workplace/occupational health and safety and Workers Compensation conference in Melbourne. Union officials from around the country attended to consider matters to do with both prevention and compensation. Issues discussed included workplace bullying; the increasing encroaching of 'worker health' programs into the occupational health and safety arena; ohs campaigning; workplace alcohol and other drugs policies; mental health and the workplace; and injured workers and workers compensation. Of serious concern to unions are the on-going attacks from the Federal government on our current ohs legislation and workers' rights to proper compensation. The ALP shadow minister for Employment Relations, Brendan O'Connor, was the keynote speaker. In his speech, Mr O'Connor said, "Proper and robust workplace safety protections are not red-tape, they are the safeguards that ensure safe workplaces."
Yesterday, October 15, marked the 44th anniversary of the collapse of the West Gate Bridge. At 11.50am, two years into its construction, the 365ft (112m) 2000-tonne span between piers 10 and 11 of the West Gate Bridge collapsed164ft (50m) onto the muddy edge of the Yarra River below. Thirty-five construction workers were killed. There were those on their lunch break who perished inside workers huts beneath the structure, crushed by the falling span. Others were working on and inside the span when it fell. The annual commemoration service was held at the memorial beneath the bridge, bringing together the families, colleagues and representatives of the workers' unions remembering what is still Victoria's greatest workplace tragedy.
A friend of mine working is having issues with her managers who are harassing her at work. Amongst other things, they've given her a warning for using the restroom outside of official break times. Can they do this? Isn't it illegal?
There's nothing in the OHS/WHS legislation that makes it clear that workers have the right to go to the restroom when they need to – but this is because the legislation in Australia is not specific, but rather 'objective' based.
The employer has what we call a 'general duty of care' (see Duties of employers) - to provide and maintain for employees a working environment that is safe and without risks to health, and this includes ensuring that there are safe and healthy systems of work in place.
Further, workers must be allowed to go to the toilet when they need to - NOT allowing workers reasonable time and access to toilets puts their health at risk and this is a breach of the employer's duty of care. In addition, the provision of toilet facilities is a legislated duty - so the law recognizes that workers need to use toilets during work hours!! (see Toilet Facilities - what should workplaces have?).
Not being able to go to the toilet when you need to can cause a range of health problems, including digestive and urinary tract problems and kidney infections which can develop into more serious health conditions. Also people on certain medications may need to visit the toilet on a more frequent basis and working in the cold (for example on construction sites or in food cold stores) may also increase the need to use the toilet. Women may need to go to the toilet more frequently in certain circumstances as well.
Another asbestos tragedy has been revealed in a hard to miss Sunday Herald Sun. The paper reveals that after a five month investigation it has found at least 16 people have died of asbestos related diseases – they all grew up within a kilometre of the Wunderlich (CSR) factory which was closed in 1983. Locals say that on some days in the factory's peak years from the 1950's to the 1970's there would be clouds of asbestos swirling above the suburb, and a white powder would cover windows and cars. In an associated special feature, 'Devil in the Dust', journalist Ruth Lamperd says 25 people are known to have died or contracted an asbestos disease from exposure to asbestos from the Wunderlich factory. The investigation has also revealed that Crown land behind where the factory had been located is still contaminated by asbestos – placing children in the suburb today at risk. It appears that though an EPA order – made 15 years after the factory closed - meant that contamination on the site was controlled by being capped by asphalt, the order did not extend to the Crown land.
The Health Department has ordered an urgent investigation by the Victorian Cancer Registry into cancer cases in the area. Since the Herald Sun report, Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, whose electorate takes in the Wunderlich factory site, has written to the Victorian Premier, Denis Napthine demanding an independent analysis of asbestos levels in homes around the old site, and community meetings. Also since the articles appeared, more people who either lived or currently live in the area have come forward to tell their stories and voice their concerns.
In his opening address to the ACTU conference this week, Secretary Dave Oliver, vowed to hold James Hardie management to its "moral obligations" at a meeting on the Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (AICF) next week. He said that unions would be prepared to recommence our long campaign against James Hardie if it failed to top up the compensation scheme. "We've got a meeting next week with the leaders of Hardie's and we want to put to them a way of trying to resolve the issues to ensure that they will meet not only their legal obligation, but their moral obligations as well," Oliver said. "If we don't make any headway, we'll no doubt be looking at resurrecting the campaign."
James Hardie announced in September that it was "reasonably foreseeable" that from 2017, the AICF would not be able to fully fund personal injury claims made by victims of the company's products. James Hardie contributes up to 35 per cent of annual free cash flow to the AICF – formed in 2006 under an agreement with the NSW Government reached after a long ACTU campaign – to cover injury claims. Due to the possible funding shortfall, the AICF board had proposed establishing an "approved payment scheme", under which asbestos victims would be paid compensation in instalments instead of in lump sums, and other liable companies would be blocked from cross-claiming contributions from the fund.
WorkCover NSW has discovered loose-fill asbestos (like that used by Mr Fluffy) in houses in Sydney's western and northern suburbs. The authority's Peter Dunphy told the ABC that investigators had found four laboratory tests from the early 1980s that positively identified houses in Warringah, the Hills and Bankstown. A fourth test identified a house in Lithgow. Mr Dunphy is leading an investigation into the number of homes across the state that could contain the deadly product, which was pumped into roof cavities during the 1960s and 1970s. He said the authority expects more positive tests in the city.
A reminder of ASEA's 1st International Conference on Asbestos Awareness and Management: "Working towards an asbestos free Australia" (Crown Casino November 16-18). SafetyNet will be there with Renata being one of the presenters on the session on Asbestos and "DIY" together with Mr Peter Dunphy (see item above). Also of great interest will be Ms Laurie Kazan-Allen, from the International Ban Asbestos Secretariat.
The Australian Education Union will be hosting an Asbestos awareness forum on November 25th (4.30 pm to 6.00pm) at the AEU in Abbotsford. The focus will be "Asbestos Free Schools – What will it take?" In the lead up to the state election the AEU is working to gain a commitment from all parties to embark on a prioritised eradication of asbestos in all government schools.
2 – Friday November 28, 11am: The annual memorial event at the Centenary Rose Garden. Commercial Rd, Morwell at 11am on. Speakers are: Russell Broadbent MHR Federal Member for McMillan, and Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Group for Asbestos Related Disease (PGARD); Lyall Watts, an activist and ACV/GARDS member who is living with asbestos disease; Steve Dodd - Secretary of the Gippsland Trades and Labour Council and AMWU organiser; and Vicki Hamilton OAM - CEO/Secretary - Asbestos Council of Victoria/GARDS. There will be a free community BBQ with the compliments of the GTLC - along with musicians, choirs and the ACV/GARDS bagpipers.
The UK's Health and Safety Executive has launched a new safety campaign as an average of 20 tradespeople die every week from asbestos related diseases. Tradespeople, including construction workers, carpenters and painters and decorators, could come into contact with deadly asbestos on average more than 100 times a year according to a new survey commissioned by the regulator. As well as illustrating how often tradespeople can be exposed to asbestos, the survey revealed some common myths believed by those at risk, with 1 in seven (14 per cent) believing that drinking a glass of water will help protect them from the deadly dust and one in four (27 per cent) thinking that opening a window will help to keep them safe. Only a third (30 per cent) of those asked, were able to identify all the correct measures for safe asbestos working, whilst more than half (57 per cent) made at least one potentially lethal mistake in trying to identify how to stay safe.
The ANMF (Vic Branch) has developed and published a strategy to tackle the growing rate of violence and aggression in Victoria's public health system. A recent Monash University survey has revealed almost 70 per cent of the branch's members had experienced violence or aggression in the workplace in the past year, with a quarter reporting experiencing violence or aggression on a regular basis. Data released to Fairfax Media under freedom of information laws showed over 14,000* violent 'Code Grey' or 'Code Black' incidents were recorded across 14 major Victorian hospitals in 2012/13. As reported in The Age newspaper, the Branch is seeking political support for its '10-point plan to end violence and aggression against Victorian healthcare workers'. The Union says its 10-point plan outlines the actions required to improve security and implement proactive measures to identify and address risks. It also aims to improve the reporting culture in Victoria's hospitals and improve the tools to assist with reporting and investigation, recognising that the reporting system VHIMS/Riskman is woefully inadequate.
The Union has delivered the document to the leaders of the major Victorian political parties and has asked them to commit to the plan on behalf of their parties and pledge to implement change within a reasonable time frame.
Advance findings from a new TUC survey of union health and safety representatives published last week on World Mental Health Day find stress to be the top concern in UK workplaces. Over two-thirds of safety reps (67 per cent) taking part in the 11th biennial survey said that stress, and the effect it is having on their colleagues, is one of the main concerns they have to deal with at work.The survey suggests that stress is a particularly high concern in the public services that have been most affected by austerity. Top-down reorganisations and back-door privatisation are having a huge impact on staff morale and well-being in the NHS, schools, local government and the civil service, says the TUC. TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "We may sometimes joke about health and safety culture, but it's no joke when you become the person lying awake at night from stress, made ill through long hours, a lack of control over your work or bullying in the office. Employers and managers need to do more to identify and reduce risks and to provide support to employees struggling to cope."
All over the world, one of the ways that employers and the State keep women un-organised is through the use of sexual violence against them. A group of women workers in the industrial area of KBN Cakung in Jakarta are making a film (check out the trailer) , as the next step in addressing this issue for female workers in Indonesia. The film project, "Female Workers Break Open the Sexual Violence Cases" is being co-ordinated by the local community radio, Radio Marsinah. They are looking for funds so if you can help, please do. Radio Marsinah is named after the worker activist murdered in 1993.
A recent study by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has found that more than half of outdoor workers worry about developing skin cancer. 51 per cent of the 150 workers from 14 workplaces rated UV radiation exposure at work as one of their biggest concerns. The workers were from farming, construction, public service and local government.
In collaboration with Cancer Council Qld and Curtin University, QUT developed tailored sun protection action plans and examined how workplace interventions could improve workers' behaviours and attitudes towards sun protection. After 12 months, 80 per cent of participants conducted skin checks and 40 per cent of workers had a doctor examine their skin compared to 30 per before the study. More workers reported seeking natural shade (+20%) and wearing more personal protective equipment, including broad-brimmed hats (+25%), long-sleeved collared shirts (+19%), and long trousers (+16%). The proportion of workers reporting sunburn over the past 12 months was lower at postintervention (-14%).

A new study examining psychosocial risks has found that a quarter of European workers suffer work stress that negatively impacts their health. Psychosocial risks in Europe: Prevalence and strategies for prevention was jointly published by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Working and Living Conditions. Psychosocial risks, such as monotonous tasks, high work intensity, low autonomy, tight deadlines, work-life imbalance, violence and harassment from the public or from colleagues, contributed to work-related stress. While fewer people reported working long hours, job insecurity and work intensity increased due to the economic situation in Europe. The report states higher job control, more learning and development opportunities, greater job clarity and stronger social support from work colleagues improved psychosocial work environments.

Chinese research has shown that those regularly working near vehicles and exhaust fumes are at a high risk of DNA damage. In a study of more than 100 traffic policemen (and a control group of 101 office workers) in Shanghai, researchers from Fudan University and other institutions found a link between short and long-term exposure to fine particles (less than 0.0025mm in diameter) and the development and progression of cancer. This was because exposure to fine particles such as vehicle exhaust, soil dust and coal combustion could cause DNA damage. "In many big cities such as Shanghai, vehicle exhaust has become a major source of ambient [fine particles] and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [that] are the main constituents of vehicle exhaust," they said. The PAH levels in traffic officers' urine was 2.04 times higher than in the control group. "Environment-related DNA damage is mainly associated with the PAH pollution," the researchers said. "The traffic-related [fine particles contain] much more PAH, which can lead to many health problems."

If HSRs and other OHS activists are interested in the activities and events being offered by the VWA during Health and Safety Week (October 20 – 24), then they need to register as events are filling up. Beginning at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre events then go to Melbourne's west (Altona) and ten regional Victorian locations including: Bairnsdale, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Horsham, Mildura, Morwell, Shepparton, Warrnambool and Wodonga. This year's keynotes include the Hon. Jeff Kennett AC, Chairman of beyondblue on mental well-being in the workplace; Bernard Salt, leading cultural commentator; and Darren Flanagan (Beaconsfield mine).
The latest edition of VWA's Safety Soapbox was sent out this week (October 15). The edition features an article on the WorkCover Awards, more on Health and Safety Week, and a warning that recalled ladders are still being used in some workplaces. There's a link to the recall notice. The newsletter also has news from around the country, the 'Absolute Shocker' and information on construction/utility/quarrying/mining prosecutions.
There were 51 incidents notified to the VWA since the last edition, for the period September 25 – October 8, including the amputation of a worker's fingers, several lacerations, fractures and crush injuries, five electric shocks, workers exposed to asbestos, and a worker who was badly injured when he fell from scaffolding.
As of October 10, 135 fatalities had been reported to Safe Work Australia. The fatalities: 37 in Transport, postal and warehousing; 32 in Agriculture, forestry and fishing; 19 in Construction; 14 in Mining; 11 in Manufacturing; five each in Arts & recreation services and in Accommodation & food services; four in Wholesale Trade; three in Electricity, Gas & Water Services; two in Health care/social assistance; and one each in Government administration & defence; Public administration and services, and 'other services'.
1 – Martin Bourke: High risk work without a license On 25 September 2013 a forklift being driven by an employee of Penhalluriack's Building Supplies collided with another employee who was pushing a trolley loaded with timber. This resulted in an injury to the second worker's foot and ankle. The forklift driver did not hold a high risk work licence at the time of the incident, and he pleaded guilty to breaching section 40(4) of the OHS Act 2004 relating to operating a forklift without a licence. He was fined $800 without conviction and ordered to pay costs of $1,796 (Moorabbin Justice Centre).
In a prosecution related to the one above, the employer of the unlicensed forklift driver pleaded guilty to one charge under sections 21(1) & (2)(a) of the OHS Act 2004 and one charge under regulation 3.6.2 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations2007. He was fined an aggregate of $3,000 without conviction and ordered to pay costs of $1,796 (Moorabbin Justice Centre).
A group of 25 Latin American and Caribbean countries have announced the launch of a regional initiative to boost efforts to combat child labour, and achieve the goal of total eradication by 2020. The document signed by Labour ministers, representatives of Governments and the Director General of the ILO, Guy Ryder, announces the "firm commitment to achieve the goal of eradication" and establishes a series of commitments based on strengthening intergovernmental cooperation.The Regional Initiative was signed at the 18th American Regional Meeting of the ILO in Lima, in the presence of more than 400 delegates from governments and employers' and workers' organizations from across the continent.
"The initiative is part of a global effort to restore the rights of 168 million children and adolescents affected by the scourge of child labour," said the ILO Director-General.
During the presentation of the initiative he noted that Latin America and the Caribbean had proposed to eradicate the worst forms of child labour by 2016 and to eliminate all forms of child labour by 2020. However, these particular goals may not be achieved.

Education taps NITAAC for major loan platform buy
The Department of Education will use the National Institutes of Health's $20 billion governmentwide acquisition contract to begin modernizing its financial aid services system for student loans.
The Education Department's Office of Financial Student Aid (FSA) said in an Aug. 27 notice for its NextGen Financial Services Environment solicitation that it had chosen the NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center's (NITAAC) CIO-SP3 vehicle for IT support services to provide an enterprisewide digital platform, customer relationship management and middleware.
The notice is the latest in the department's efforts to develop a consolidated student loan servicing solution. Last August, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos scrapped a planned solicitation begun during the Obama administration.
Previously she had overseen a series of changes to the solicitation, most notably shifting from relying on multiple service providers (preferred by the Obama administration) to a single service provider, with other providers acting as subcontractors.
Those changes met with pushback from some members of Congress who worried that a single service provider would limit competition and hamper customer service.
Last November, FSA Chief Operating Officer A. Wayne Johnson unveiled the "blueprint" for the NextGen Financial Services. The overhaul, Johnson and DeVos said in a joint statement at the time, would give students mobile interfaces for its Free Application for Federal Student Aid and integrate FAFSA into its StudentAid.gov portal. The integration would allow seamless transition from mobile devices and the web, they said.
The system will track all facets of FAFSA, the agency's gateway to federal post-high school financial aid, including application and eligibility, payment, processing and service and repayment recovery through private collection agencies.
That's no small task. FSA said it oversees over 18 million student applications a year for federal aid and has over 42 million customers across the student lending lifecycle. It has over $1.3 trillion in outstanding loans, and that loan portfolio is growing at 7 percent a year. Currently FSA spends close to $400 million annually on IT in support of loan programs.
The FSA issued the solicitation for the first phase of the NextGen system last November, saying it was looking to set up a "flexible, world class financial solution" to support its student aid program. It said it would first look to modernize the system's technical and operational architecture, making it more flexible and mobile friendly.
CIO-SP3 provides IT support services for federal agencies' administrative, operational, managerial and information management needs, across 10 areas, from IT operations and maintenance to integration services and digital government. FSA has used it before, in a 2015 cloud deal with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services for private/hybrid cloud services for the agency's grant and loan programs. The agency spent $39.3 million on the cloud contract in fiscal year 2017.
CIO-SP3 could address competitive concerns raised by some lawmakers as well as provide a single, expert point of contact for the project, procurement industry expert Larry Allen told FCW.
CIO-SP3 has 53 suppliers, so using it "doesn't mean a lack of competition," said Allen, as those vetted suppliers compete for task orders. Although the task order process for GWACs aren't as open as a solicitation issued through FedBizOpps, "it doesn't necessarily mean the Education Department is trying to get around" disclosures, he said. "People use IDIQs all the time."
NITAAC Contracting officer Keith Johnson told FCW in an interview that Education Department is laying the foundation layer for its system with the latest notice. "They're likely going to use all [10] of CIO-SP3's task areas," he said.
NITAAC is also beefing up its efforts at assisted acquisitions, which brings in certified contracting experts who know how to work the GWAC's details. The Education Department could use those capabilities to its advantage. In the last couple of weeks, NITAAC appointed Glynis Fisher as deputy program director.

Hubert Ingraham Delivers the UPBIZATION OF THE BAHAMAS!
Nassau, Bahamas — Bahamas Press along with members of the wider Bahamian community are now witnessing what can only be described as the 'UPBIZATION' of The Bahamas!
On yesterday Robert Mugabe's twin, Hubert Ingraham, caused the appointment of Queen's Counsel in the Commonwealth through the Governor General.
The eight lawyers all hail from 'White Knight' law firms were appointed Queens Counsel: Brian Moree – Mckinney Bancroft & Hughes, Philip Dunkley – Higgs & Johnson, Colin Callender – Callender & Co, Fred Smith – Callender & Co, Emerick Knowles- Alexiou Knowles & Co, John Delaney – Higgs & Johnson, Brian Simms- Lennox Paton and Sean McWeeney – Graham Thompson & Co.
A Queens Counsel is also known as QC or Silk. They are often referred as Silks, because whenever one is promoted as a Queens Counsel their court robe is made of silk.
Bahamas Press is not by any stretch of the imagination questioning the abilities of any of these men. To us they are simply senior officers of the court. But we patiently wonder why would Robert Mugabe's twin contrive the idea of appointing all from 'WHITE KNIGHT' law firms?
Why would Ingraham, while on his last one leg hop out of power, not see the need to bring along and lift to the status of QC eminently practitioners of the court; Damian Gomez or a Wayne Munroe just to name a few. Person who we know have been active on the front lines of the profession in this country.
Why would not that man we liken as the DEVIL, clothe in a cloak as Prime Minister for the small, the weak and the down trodden seems to always have a special eye for the people of the 'lighter hue', the rich and powerful? The country's BIG WIGS or better yet, BAY STREET!?
What about the smaller independent firms, which have produced some of the finest professionals in the legal profession. But this is Mugabe at his best; blessing those who have with more while he jail and threaten to imprison the backside of those who struggled up the ladder as he did.
We need Change Bahamas. Please, for goodness sake Bahamas send Hubert Ingraham home! Please send this Damn Pedophile PROTECTIVE Government HOME!

I am not qualified to speak, authoritatively, on matters of the Judiciary, nor am I qualified to be heard, respectfully, on anything of judicial interest; However I need not be so qualified as to be disqualified from giving my input on the recent group of candidates, nominated for and named to that loftiest honor in the fraternity, that of "Queen's Counsel."
Heretofore Queen's Counsels, as we know them, were selected from eminent lawyers in the country; Barristers at law, who have distinguished themselves as fierce advocates before the courts, on behalf of clients, and who are no strangers to appearances before the final court of appeal in our land-the Privy Council. Collins Pocket English Dictionary says that a King or Queen's Counsel would be an eminent Barrister, selected to serve as counsel to the crown. Based, then, on the observance of the bare minimum of these standards, would anyone disagree with me if I were to submit that, of the nine or ten names put forth by Ingraham, it appears that only one of the group is able to pass that acid test?
It seems to me that Hubert Ingraham is determined to complete Bay Street's agenda during this term in office, never mind that by doing so it makes him look like a real "uncle tom." I submit that this is the purpose for which he was installed as leader of the FNM from the inception. In his entire twelve and one half years, thus far, as a prime minister, there is not one single, meaningful program initiated by the FNM, for which we can say, assuredly, that it promotes and or benefits the long-term interest of the majority population. Please don't make the silly argument that the unemployment benefit scheme of a 13-week handout, qualifies as a meaningful program because it doesn't. Ingraham's more than 12 year record, as prime minister, is littered with promoting Bay Street's agenda and when it comes to programs which would benefit the Bahamian masses, he has had no real interest. I can cite any number of initiatives which the PLP has champion and which Ingraham and his FNM government have frustrated. Even in this simple exercise of bestowing a little, deserved, honor on a few of our people who have done well and did it on their own I might add, Hubert has shown his true colors and has failed to do the right thing by them. I can think of at least three eminent lawyers who should have been on that list, instead of some of those who were, but of course they are not of the Bay Street grouping. I note with interest, as well, the law firms from which these individuals have been chosen and Bay Street is written all over them. To put it all very bluntly, quite frankly, Ingraham appears to possess an acute disdain and dislike for persons whose ancestry has its roots on the African Continent, this in stark contrast to his very obvious reverence for those of European extraction. I stand corrected, Hubert did in fact oversee the implementation of one useful program (cable television) but he couldn't even do that to our benefit.
I am not qualified in the art of psychiatry either, but I am able to tell when a person is suffering from some kind of disorder-a complex, if you will-whether of inferiority or superiority. I perceive that this prime minister has a complex; one which appears to have been programmed into his DNA from birth which has him convinced, that he and our people, are less than adequate, and that we don't deserve what those other people deserve and that the good life was designed, not for us but for people whose heritage is of European descendants. This seems to be Hubert's mindset: imbedded deep into his DNA. Can he ever change? Can a leopard change his spots? It has never happened before, but I guess we can hope for change.
This complex seems to be heightened and fully in charge when he (Ingraham) has to make decisions involving the welfare of poor, helpless, dark chocolate skin, Bahamians; he crushes them without mercy. Look what he did, or allowed to be done to all the civil servants in recent months-Customs; The Police; Bahamas Immigration; The National Insurance Board; ZNS; The Hotel Corp-and take special note of the methodology employed in firing them. Remember what he did to Steve McKinney and Philippa Russell, hours after winning the General Elections? Couldn't wait to let the Bahamas know that he was firing them and he did it, disgracefully, from his victory rally platform on the park. Urban Renewal staff members were dismissed, en mass unceremoniously, all over the country; and look-just look-what he did to Grand Bahama's "Moon McPhee," that sports Icon extraordinaire. Moon was given, essentially, over the weekend to clean out his desk. Do we know of any of Bay Street's kind who has been affected, by Ingraham's many hang-ups? I know of none.
I am convinced that if Hubert thought he could close down the National Insurance Board and the Bahamas Mortgage Corp. and the Bahamas Development Bank and the Defense Force, as he did the Hotel Corp; and if he could undo Independence and eliminate the College of the Bahamas, as he did in shutting down the National Health Insurance Program, without repercussions, he would do so; no questions asked. After all, these are institutions, which were brought into being in the first place, by successive PLP governments for the benefit of, for the most part, the 85% majority population. We have been fooled, big time, by Ingraham and his co-conspirators, who I regard as the remnant of the old Bay Street/UBP guard. The man's agenda is crystal clear.

You all stop saying that, because it just doesn't make any sense to me and I refuse to believe it. Say what you want about Hubert, but I can't see him appointing anybody to any position base on the colour of their skin this day and age. That's just racist. My God, even the USA has a black president.

Rusell you are so right. In fact Brave was on the list and was receiving congratulatory remarks up to Monday and then he was taken off!! I guess he too dark hey!! Lots of Attorneys are appalled at this.

Bahamasyouth Oct 29, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Wisdom you have plenty sense. As a young Bahamian one of the most MEMORABLE EVENT I will NEVER FORGET is when Hubert Ingraham presented the budget debate earlier this year. It wont take no brain surgeon to know that The Bahamas depend on the tourism industry and since US is going through a recession so we are going through one as well too. ITS NOT INGRAHAM's fault that we depend on a FRAGILE INDUSTRY which is TOURISM. Like they saying goes "when America coughs, The Bahamas cough and sneezes".
At the budget debate Ingraham said point blank we enn have no money since the US is in a bad state. Therefore he had TWO OPTIONS. Either to FIRE some GOVERNMENT WORKERS or BORROW MORE MONEY so that he can pay for the government workers. He said to his ADMINISTRATORS that if you SEE SOME HANDS IN DA COOKIE JAR if dey steal a PEN, If dey steal a paper…… LET EM' GO and call the authorities. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN that was one of the most memorable things I will never forget and thats the TYPE OF LEADERSHIP I LOVE!
Whoever takes office in 2012 or even 2017 they must take in some SERIOUS SERIOUS DECISIONS. As a college of The Bahamas student we have had special lectures who agree that we need TAXATION REFORM to keep the country afloat. We needs TECHNOLOGY REFORM. Sadly we need GOVERNMENT WORKERS REFORM. Some might dont understand when i said Government reform but seriously there are too much incompetent government workers who dont know how find new initiatives to better off our SYSTEMS and surely they dont know how to do their works in swiftly manner.Here it is in order to get your drivers licenses renewed you must TOAT long line when they just have to PRINT and ISSUE. IF we had YOUNGER QUALIFIED PEOPLE we can work together as ONE to solve our problems. As simple as getting your LISCENCES on time why we can NOT just have a GOVERNMENT operated system so that we can register and pay online THEN get it send to our PO BOXES. Also PO BOXES needs to be fixed properly.
@Thomas Finley
Which women are you referring to? We aint talking about no foreign women you know? I can't see no Bahamian women voting against equal rights, from what I know about most of us we have the tendency to want to be in charge. Please enlighten me Finley.
Kim Sands Oct 29, 2009 at 11:53 am

hardhead gal :
Knights don't need affirmative action, they control the scenes from the background….at least they used to. Now they will start edging forward to take up what they believe is their rightful place at the round table.
Please let us not blame Hubert Ingraham he was a good man, that is now operating under the spirit of an organization. Let us be real the PLP has its philosophy and the FNM has its own.
However, reading the newspaper today and reading a headline that read: "70 EXPECTED TO BE CHARGED WITH DEFRAUDING NIB JOBLESS BENEFITS" I am certain the spirit of Sir. Cecil Wallace Whitefield is at work.
One should remember the famous quote from Sir. Cecil Wallace Whitefield in the early 1970's "…prosecute their backsides in jail…( this was one of the most blurred statements towards PLPs across the nation, however the prophecy seems to be manifesting 30+ years later)
It appears that the FNM is carrying out what I call "THE SPIRIT OF Sir. Cecil's statement.
PLPs should remember that; Sir. Cecil's movement that would culminate in the formation of the Free National Movement came to a head on 18 November 1970 when it became clear to eight courageous parliamentary members of the Progressive Liberal Party that their effort to entrench democratic principles in the PLP would fail.
In my opinion, those 8 courageous parliamentary members of the Progressive Liberal Party sold their loyalty to foreign powers.
For the last 6 years I've observe the FNM and it's backing of former "Colonial" and "Foreign" powers are try to land ALL PLP MPs in JAIL!
Just want you to know your comment was very insulting to us women, because who more emotional than Perry and pettier than Ingraham?
Sorry Kim Sands, maybe you are different but i've had some first hand experience wit woman and their drive for power. The emotionals shown by Perry and Ingraham?
Kim they are ACTING its not real emotions. 🙂
Thomas Finley Oct 29, 2009 at 11:41 am
Women voted against equal rights back in 2002, so you gets none! Get to the back of the line!
jelly :
no women attorneys are good enough to be a QC I see. As a matter of fact are their any Bahamian women QC's?
Bahamian women are too emotional and competes for POWER too much. Last week that "giddy" judge is a perfect example.
In my opinion the new QCs are ok, we need people to keep Wayne Munroe in check, because he seems to control the intire system.
Trinity Oct 29, 2009 at 11:08 am
I agree with you. Yet some people don't see anything wrong with that. It is this realization that has this country so divided. If you aren't catering to the FNM, then they won't doing anything for you. It is simply unjust.
bakesboy Oct 29, 2009 at 10:48 am
This again shows that in this country, under this leader, in order to be recognized as a good professional, you must be white, light or bright (skinned). The PM is again showing his feelings of inferiority when it comes to those of a lighter hue. What the procedure is as I understand it, was that the recommendation would come from the Bar Counsel, to the Attorney General, then would be ratified by the PM (or some variation of this). But our current PM will not accept anybody's recommendation, so he disregarded the recommended lawyers and rewarded his UBP buddies.
Note that in England, when the appointment of QC's resumed in 2004, it was announced that future appointees would not be chosen by the government but by a nine-member panel, chaired by a lay person, which would include two barristers, two solicitors, one retired judge and three non-lawyers. Formally, the appointment remains a royal one made on the recommendation of the Secretary of State for Justice, but he no longer comments on the individual applications put forward by the independent panel, and merely supervises the process and reviews the recommendations in general terms (satisfying himself that the process as operated was fair and efficient).
In The Bahamas, too much power is in the hands of the Prime Minister, so men like Brave Davis, Wayne Munroe, Alfred Sears, etc, will never see a light of day.
Trinity Oct 29, 2009 at 9:55 am
HUBERT INGRAHAM WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY, WHETHER OR NOT HE REMEMBERS. WE DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL HIM HOW TO DO HIS JOB BECAUSE CLEARLY HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW! My goodness if you people only knew how you are getting swing big-time. Someone needs to begin to audit this government. Bahamians are far too gullible, and the government exploits us because of it.

What crime(s) has the PM committed? why people believe they have the right to tell Ingraham how to do his job? If you feel you can do better, run for Office yourself! He worked very hard, continues to do so, and he is attacked constantly. Politics is the interaction of interests, so if you want a seat at the table, get involved and become a player.
I will do just that. Thanks for your advice. If your are not white, then you are also a House Nigga.
It would not matter so much if these jobs were equal opportunity. The PM refuses to give promotions on both sides. CALL A SPADE A SPADE!!! These are clearly his supporters and this is how he keeps the FNM propaganda fueled. This government refuses to be fair and just.
Jerry Oct 29, 2009 at 9:30 am
Brave Davis, Maurice Glinton, Wayne Munroe would all have been good choices for this. Also John Wilson got high praise from the Privy Counsel the other day – he lead his case as the first Bahamian to do so & won. He is highly regarded by his peers. Guess he's a little too black for silk. Sad…

Maybe Glinton, like Paul Adderley, does not want the QC label…I am certain that the PM consulted with Mr. Christie, which is why Mr. McWeeny is on that list…

1953 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV Limousine Coachwork by Hooper Used bt His Highness Abdul Illah, Prince Regent of Iraq One of the rarest Rolls-Royce motorcars ever built - and the only model to be factory equipped with a straight-eight engine - the Phantom IV was available exclusively to royalty and heads-of-state. Only seventeen were delivered to customers when they were new. This car carries the only example of this style of Hooper coachwork fitted to a Phantom IV. It was built to the order of His Highness Abdul Illah, the Prince Regent of Itaq for the coronation of his nephew, the King. Unfortunately, the Prince was assassinated in 1959 in the revolution that eventually brought Saddam Hussein to power. At the time of the uprising, the car was at Hooper's in London for servicing and was saved as a result. The Phantom IV is so highly refarded that, of the seventeen cars delivered new to customers, eight are still owned by their original purchasers or their heirs.
1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Empress Limousine by Hooper RM Auctions Automobiles of Amelia Island Collector Car Auction Amelia Island, Florida March 13, 2010 AUCTION RESULTS: Lot 163 - Sold at a price of $93,500 125 bhp, 4,887 cc overhead valve inline six-cylinder engine, single downdraft carburetor, automatic four-speed transmission, independent wishbones and coil springs front and semi-elliptic leaf spring rear suspension and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. Wheelbase: 134" The Silver Wraith was available in two wheelbase sizes – approximately 1,244 examples were built with the 127-inch short wheelbase while only 639 models were built with the 134-inch long wheelbase. For the first time, Rolls-Royce products were offered as complete cars with factory coachwork, however in the tradition of the great prewar coachbuilt cars, the Silver Wraith was also offered as a "chassis only" by Rolls-Royce. The price for the chassis alone was £1,800. These special cars were fitted with custom coachbuilt bodies by many of England's most respected coachbuilders of the period, such as H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward, Freestone and Webb, and of course Hooper. The Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith presented here, chassis number ELW-60, is an Empress Limousine with design number 8390 and is one of only 13 coachbuilt examples built by the Hooper Company on the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith chassis. This stately example was originally commissioned by a Mr. Gwinn, Chairman of the Libby Ball Bearings company. After only a year in England, it made its way to the United States and into a collection in Chicago before being purchased by a collector in Florida. The Wraith remained unused in Florida for approximately 25 years before it was acquired by the previous owner and finally by the O'Quinn Collection in 2006. The coachwork on this particular Hooper limousine is hand formed aluminum over a wooden skeleton. It has a uniquely sporting appearance and is a stylistic departure from the normal bodies of the period, as it was fashionable at the time to build rather tall and sometimes cumbersome looking limousines. The curved beltline originating at the iconic Rolls-Royce radiator stretches elegantly down to the bottom of the rear trunk. The black fenders, trunk and upper body's striking contrast with the bright yellow lower body further accentuates the Rolls-Royce's lines. The Empress Limousine's brilliant exterior lines are in step with its opulent interior, finished in silver-grey leather in the chauffeur's compartment and matching silver-grey cloth in the rear passenger compartment. The interior is adorned with an abundance of hand-polished and ornate woodwork. The rear passenger's compartment features a center console with an elaborate vanity unit with a telescopic mirror and independent climate controls. The previous owner purchased the Empress Limousine in the early 1990s and immediately embarked on an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration, which took nearly 10 years to complete. The mechanical restoration included a complete rebuild of the engine, a new radiator and the replacement of many suspension components. The interior heating and air conditioning units were returned to proper working order. Cosmetically, the car received all new paint and fully refinished brightwork throughout. Following completion, it was rewarded with several wins at a number of prestigious shows and events throughout America. The car continues to present very well, both inside and out. No imperfections are readily apparent in the paint, brightwork, upholstery or wood. If one considers that nearly 2,000 Silver Wraiths were built in all, this particular Empress – one of only 13 Hooper examples – is a tremendously rare automobile. In excellent overall condition, it is the epitome of English elegance and the bespoke luxury of the Hooper coachworks.
