Services Administration, the agency responsible for managing
the federal government's assets and purchasing, recently reached
agreements with YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, and blip.tv that allow
the Library of Congress and other agencies to use the sites while
meeting the government's legal requirements. | ||||

March 30, 2009 AF begins Phase II of the NCO retraining program RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Two deadlines are quickly approaching for Airmen identified for retraining under Phase II of the Air Force Noncommissioned Officer Retraining Program. These Airmen must submit a retraining request by April 6. They must also complete a retraining package by April 29 for the Air Force Specialty Code selected by the Air Force Personnel Center here. Phase II began March 26 and will end when retraining quotas are met, but not later than May 31. Airmen identified for retraining and who fail to submit the initial retraining application by April 29 will be determined to have officially declined retraining and will be separated from the Air Force on their current date of separation. Airmen selected for retraining who have the necessary retainability cannot decline retraining. More than 100 active-duty Airmen have been identified for involuntary retraining into another Air Force specialty. To determine if you have been identified for retraining, log on to the virtual Military Personnel Flight. "Phase II retraining is necessary to help meet the needs of the Air Force by putting Airmen where they are needed most," said Master Sgt. Deitra Mathis, superintendent of Air Force Enlisted Retraining. "We will work with those Airmen who are selected for retraining, as we would any retraining case, in order to make the transition as smooth as possible for Airmen and their families." For more information, Airmen should contact their Military Personnel Section, their base career assistance advisor or the Total Force Service Center at (800) 525-0102 or DSN 665-5000. -30- | ||||

EPA Issues New Requirements for Energy
Star Computer Monitors, Picture Frames Contact: Enesta Jones, 202-564-4355 / 7873 / jones.enesta@epa.gov (Washington, D.C. – March 30, 2009) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing new requirements for computer monitors, digital picture frames and other displays to earn the Energy Star label. On average, Energy Star qualified products will be 20 percent more energy efficient than conventional options. If all displays sold in the United States meet this new specification, the energy savings would grow to about $1 billion each year and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from nearly 1.5 million vehicles. To earn the label, the new specification includes a revision of existing requirements for computer monitors to a more stringent level, the fifth revision since products in this category have been eligible for the Energy Star label. EPA has also expanded the range of display products eligible for the label. In addition to computer monitors, digital picture frames and large commercial displays (up to 60 inches diagonal) can now qualify for the label when demonstrated to meet the energy efficiency requirements. Digital picture frames offer an impressive opportunity for energy savings. It is estimated that 9.3 million digital picture frames were shipped in 2008 and by 2015 the number could more than double. Savings from digital picture frames represent about 10 percent of the total potential savings in this product area. Large displays are typically used in public and private settings such as restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, museums, and educational settings, and outdoor environments in retail or transportation signage. Savings from large displays represent about 70 percent of the total potential savings in this product area. The specification for displays less than 30 inches diagonal will be effective October 30, 2009. The specification for displays 30-60 inches diagonal will be effective on January 1, 2010.

March 30, 2009 New total force discrimination hotline number announced By 2nd Lt. Gina M. Vaccaro RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – The Air Force Discrimination Hotline has a new toll free number that will serve all active-duty, Guard, Reserve and civilian Airmen. The hotline number will ensure all unlawful discrimination and sexual harassment concerns are quickly identified and addressed. “The Air Force is committed to ensuring all Airmen have access to Equal Opportunity resources when they need them,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Miliano, director of Equal Opportunity Operations at the Air Force Personnel Center here. “We want all Airmen to know the Air Force does not tolerate unlawful discrimination. The new phone number provides our customers a direct line to an EO professional.” The new number streamlines the process by which individuals can speak with an EO professional at AFPC to advise and assist with their concerns and issues. This will help enforce the Air Force “zero tolerance” policy for unlawful discrimination and sexual harassment and will increase the effectiveness of antidiscrimination and whistleblower protection laws. “Callers will have the option to remain anonymous,” the colonel added. “They will just need to provide enough details to ensure the concern can be adequately addressed.” The new toll free Discrimination Hotline number took effect Feb. 22. The toll free number is 888-231-4058; the commercial number is 210-565-5214 and the Defense Switched Network number is 665-5214. The staff at Equal Opportunity Operations is reminding all units to update their policy letters and official postings to reflect the new numbers. “Personnel with questions concerning
Equal Opportunity matters are highly encouraged to use their
chain of command and/or local EO office as a first means to address
all concerns,” Colonel Miliano said. “The hotline is
available around the clock to all who do not have immediate access
to their local EO office.” -30- | ||||

DOT 40-09 U.S. Transportation Secretary LaHood Signs a Cooperative Agreement with the Chinese on the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood joined China’s Minister of Transport Li Shenglin today in a historical signing of an agreement to cooperate on the safe transportation of hazardous materials. Signing the agreement, Secretary LaHood said that both nations’ industries – including manufacturing, agriculture, and medical research – need regular access to certain types of dangerous materials to conduct business. “Chinese businesses ship billions of dollars worth of trade goods around the world each year, including to the United States,” said Secretary LaHood. “We are eager to work together to make sure these items are transported safely. And I look forward to participating in this important mission.” Following a joint Transportation Forum held in Beijing last December to address transportation issues including safety, the agreement was shaped to help ensure the safe transport of materials across all modes of transportation – from seaports and aviation to rail and highway. The U.S.–China Cooperative Project
Arrangement on the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods enables
the countries to: As both nations invest billions of dollars in transportation infrastructure through economic stimulus plans, Secretary LaHood noted that the Dangerous Goods agreement is a step forward on improving transportation’s role in fostering a healthy climate for commerce and economic growth, while creating good jobs for both U.S. and Chinese citizens. The signing took place at the U.S. Department of Transportation. The next Transportation Forum between the two nations will be held at the end of this year in Washington, D.C. # # # | ||||

Can you guess how many numbers are in the glossy new GOP budget? The answer is zero. As Congress prepares for a crucial vote on President Obama's budget this Thursday, Republican leaders have been plotting an all-out effort to block it without offering a single specific idea of their own. But we can't allow them to obstruct progress with hollow rhetoric. Watch this video and donate $5 or more to help us air an ad exposing the GOP's petty politics before Thursday's important vote: The President has proposed an honest budget that focuses on our most pressing national priorities -- renewable energy, affordable health care, and a better education for our children. Change won't come easy, but President Obama knows that we can succeed if we come together around a truthful budget rather than a phony one that lacks any numbers or specific ideas. With your donation, we can use the next two days to show members of Congress and all Americans that shiny budget report covers simply won't cut it -- we need a real budget that can offer us real results: https://www.democrats.org/numberzero You helped elect President Obama because you rejected partisan rancor and empty promises. Now it's time to follow through and show what real leadership looks like. Thank you, Jen Jen O'Malley Dillon | ||||
