WASHINGTON Republican lawmakers took turns Thursday grilling the TSA over
questionable decisions it made including a $50 million contract for new
uniforms -- around the same time it told the public it was
facing severe budget cuts from the government sequester.Members of the House
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform took Deputy Administrator John
Halinski to task over his agencys handling of the sequester. They said
the TSA knew in advance of the looming cuts and should have
planned accordingly.You hijacked the agency and turned it into the worst
example of a bureaucratic mess, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chided.Committee
members pressed Halinski over a controversial $50 million contract the TSA
signed with VF Imagewear Inc. for new uniforms for its workers. Critics
say the cosmetic change was not needed and a waste of taxpayer
money. Lawmakers said they had problems with the agency shelling out so
much money for uniforms that could be manufactured in Mexico. According
to VF Imagewear, Inc.s annual report, the company manufactures clothing
in Mexico, Europe, Central and South America, the Caribbean and the Middle
East.The contract was signed on Feb. 27 and is a one-year deal
that would outfit TSA agents with shirts, pants and other uniform-related
accessories. Security officers get a $446 allowance for uniforms each year.In
2010, the TSA spent $12 million on uniforms; in 2011, $10.9 million
and in 2012, $12.8 million. According t
May 10, 2012: Thomas Perez, now the Labor secretary nominee, speaks in
Phoenix.APLabor secretary nominee Thomas Perez was confronted Thursday with
tough questions about an alleged "secret deal" he cut with leaders from
St. Paul, Minn., during his tenure as a top attorney at the
Justice Department.During Perez' confirmation hearing, Sen. Lamar Alexander,
R-Tenn., accused the nominee of "manipulating" the system to get the result
he wanted - and potentially costing taxpayers millions of dollars in the
process.According to a Republican report released earlier this week, Perez
helped persuade St. Paul to drop a contentious lawsuit in exchange for
the Justice Department staying out of whistleblower cases brought against
the city. Perez' "quid pro quo" potentially cost taxpayers as much as
$200 million, the report said."That seems to me to be an extraordinary
amount of wheeling and dealing outside the normal responsibilities of the
assistant attorney general for civil rights," said Alexander, who is the
top Republican on the Senate panel screening Perez' nomination."It seems
you have a duty to the government to collect the money, a
duty to protect the whistleblower who's kind of left hanging in the
wind."Both cases involved the city of St. Paul. The 67-page report states
that the Justice Department's decision to opt out of the whistleblower cases
potentially cost taxpayers as much as $200 million -- the amount the
government could have won ha

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">April 15: An emergency responder and volunteers, including Carlos Arredondo,
in the cowboy hat, push Jeff Bauman in a wheel chair after
he was injured in an explosion near the finish line of the
Boston Marathon.APA 27-year-old man whose legs were blown off by the Boston
bombings reportedly helped FBI agents identify one of the suspects, saying
the man looked him in the eye as he placed a bag
filled with explosives at his feet.Jeff Bauman was waiting for his girlfriend
to cross the finish line just before 3 p.m. Monday when a
man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket dropped a bag
at Bauman's feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, told Bloomberg News.Two and
a half minutes later, the bag exploded, shredding Bauman's legs. A photo
of his bloodied body being rushed by wheelchair from the scene has
become an iconic image of the terrorist attack."He woke up under so
much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, 'bag, saw
the guy, looked right at me,'" Chris Bauman told Bloomberg News.Bauman's
description to investigators at his bedside reportedly helped them zero
in on suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed early Friday in a
shootout with police. Bauman was rushed to Boston Medical Center, where
both his legs were amputated from the knee down. His family learned
of his fate only after seeing the grisly image of their son
in news reports.One volunteer, dubbed the the "Cowboy Hat Hero," is being
credited with helping to save Bauman's
oth more open-minded and less riled up.
This is the economic concept of "loss aversion," which, in simple terms,
means we hate to lose. Recognizing how much we hate to lose,
we need to take actions to minimize the damage we do attempting
to win at all costs. Smooth things over with this trick: The
Best Way To Resolve An Argument.5. Trying to mind-reador expecting your
partner to do so. This one should be obvious, and yet again,
we all assume our spouse knows we need a hug (or a
cocktail) after a bad day at the office or figure that he'll
wash the car on his way past the car wash because it's
so obviously dirty. The solution: the economic principle of transparency.
Give your spouse the information he or she needs, rather than expecting
him to know the unknowable. Information is the grease that keeps your
little economy functioning.6. Putting off kind gestures. We think we'll
give him that well-deserved back rub, or watch the kids so she
can get out the door for a child-free afternoon, but then we
flake. The time never seems right. The to-do list remains too long.
We think we're great spouses but sometimes we're just not. The best
solution to our procrastination is to devise something economists call "commitment
devices"ways to force ourselves to commit to things. Send your husband a
text promising a back rub and you sort of have to do
it. Arrange a personal training session for your wife and the kids
are all yours for the afternoon.7
