OAKLAND — The chances of winning a financial windfall from the city of Oakland for an alleged wrongful termination are quickly dwindling for former city administrator Deborah Edgerly.
About a year after an Alameda County jury rejected Edgerly's claims that she was fired because of gender discrimination, a state appeals court ruled this week that she cannot pursue a claim based on the state's whistle-blower law.
Edgerly sued the city in 2009 after she was fired on July, 1, 2008, by former Mayor Ron Dellums, claiming she lost her job because she was a woman and because she refused to approve city reimbursement for three questionable expenses sought by Dellums.
Dellums had asked for the city to pay his wife's cellphone bill, utility bills at his private home and overtime for his personal driver.
Edgerly's firing, however, came in the midst of allegations that she interfered with a police investigation of her nephew William Lovan, who police suspected was a member of the West Oakland Acorn gang.
During a trial in 2009, Dellums testified that he did not fire Edgerly because of the investigation but did so because she stopped communicating with him after she withdrew from a previous agreement to retire.
While a trial court judge allowed Edgerly's claim of gender discrimination to proceed to a jury trial, the judge denied her request to have the jury decide if she was fired because she refused to approve city reimbursement for the questionable expenses.
Edgerly claimed she should be protected under the state's whistle-blower law because, by rejecting the expenses, she was essentially refusing to allow Dellums to violate the city charter.
But in it's ruling published Wednesday, the state's court of appeal ruled that her actions were not covered by the whistle-blower law because Dellums was not attempting to violate a state law or rule.
Instead, the court ruled, Edgerly's claim that she refused to have the city reimburse Dellums was simply part of her routine work and not a protected action under the state law.
"Edgerly's argument is that as she routinely acted on each city official's expense reimbursement requests, each rejection constituted a per se violation of (the whistle-blower law), no matter how trivial or routine each rejection was," the court wrote. "This interpretation strains logic and, if adopted, could have serious impacts on the workings of the City and other charter cities." In addition, the court found, Edgerly's claim that she refused the payments was wrong because evidence showed she "actually approved two of the three requests and referred the third request to the city attorney's office."
Edgerly could appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court. Her attorney, John Scott, did not return calls seeking comment.
The City Attorney's office declined to comment.

A Letter to the Editor published in the Aug. 20, 2013, Tomahawk Leader:
Soon the Friends of Lake Mohawksin will be conducting the annual meeting. Undoubtedly, again the Association will express the desire to change the organization from a "Lake Association" to a "Lake District."
When you lakefront property owners are eventually asked to vote on this proposition, please remember the ramifications. If it would pass, you will probably be receiving a "special assessment" on your real estate tax bill, based on fair market value of your property. Also, please remember that lakefront property owners are already taxed excessively on our real estate.
The Association, at the annual meeting, will present the successes they have had in fighting the spread of Eurasian water milfoil, among other improvements and we greatly appreciate the hard work that's been done. Let's also report that the association has been a success. Again, a success. Why would we, as taxpayers, want to create yet another bureaucracy, and yet another potential form of taxation without representation, by forming a lake district when the Association is successful.
We realize the Association requires funding. Certainly, the Wisconsin DNR has been helpful and should continue to be demanded to be involved. It is our belief that the Association, and the community, need to find more creative methods of funding the fight against invasive species. Our personal boats, etc., do not leave Lake Mohawksin. Maybe the boaters launching at the lake boat landings, for recreational or tournament enjoyment, should be contacted? Perhaps the businesses located on and off the lake that are benefiting from the lake traffic would have some input?

Who? I believe the authors of the letter live in Tomahawk and the Lake Association is heavily supported and run by people in Tomahawk.
Re: Lake Mohawksin Lake Association
Who or Who-o-o is the real question. Perhaps there's an owl flying off the Left Coast of Wisconsin looking to stick it's beak into local Tomahawk politics, again. When the time comes that you start paying property taxes here hoot all you want. Excuse me I may be mistaken, but my guess the proper term for that sound from such an educated owl would be "whom," not who-o-o or hoot.
Kerry, is that "heavy support" for a Lake Association taken from the latest Tomahawk Leader poll or your best guess based on the amount of noise made by one individual?

The play last week where he just baited Bradford all game and snuck in from nowhere to steal an INT and win the game was pretty cool too. He seems to come up with some pretty amazing plays that just make you go "WOW!", but the thing is that he doesn't get many opportunities. They are trying to stay away from him, but he is still quick and smart enough to get there and get involved.
Nice. Do you think he could have made it as an NFL receiver as well? Another thing about Darrell - was in his older years he basically tutored Champ Bailey on how to prepare, be a professional, and maximize his talent. While Champ left here with no loved lost for Snyder and the organization, he credits Darrell Green for being a great mentor when he came into the league. Alot of players would have too much ego to help someone learn all of your tricks.

This is a three part examination of "Truth" in photojournalism. Part one deals with the reality behind the image, part two deals with honesty, accuracy and the meaning of the word "truth", and part three deals with the power of the real photograph.
These three columns originally appeared in the January, February and March 2011 issues of News Photographer Magazine.
By John Long
I do not use the word "truth" when I talk about photojournalism. I also do not use the word "art."
We are not in the business of providing truth to our readers and viewers; that is the business of preachers. Journalists are in the business of providing accurate, fair, and (hopefully) complete information to our readers and viewers so they can make informed choices for our society. A free society demands access to accurate information. It is the only way our system of government can survive.
Photojournalism is not an art. Photojournalism is a craft. The word "art" has as much place in journalism as "truth." I am not opposed to "truth" or "art" but these aspects of life are not part of the core of journalism.
I am interviewed by dozens of students every year (usually near the end of semesters when term papers are due), and recently I had a discussion with a student who was wondering what my views were on the idea that "changing the content of a documentary photograph was acceptable because photojournalism is an art form and therefore open to whims of the artist." As you might guess, I choked on this concept. (The student got this idea from the professor teaching the class; God help us all.)
I spent 35 years as a photojournalist and picture editor at The Hartford Courant and I always considered myself a journeyman craftsman. I never considered myself to be a master craftsman and I absolutely never considered myself to be an artist.
On Sundays in church I know the "truth" and in my free time, I have been known to create photographic art. For 40 hours a week (usually more, as we all know) I was a craftsman attempting to pass along accurate information to my readers as fairly and completely as I could. I am very proud to have been a journeyman craftsman. It was an honorable profession.
There is artistic structure in the best photojournalism. We know the "rule of thirds"; we know the difference between warm and cold colors; we know the eye goes to the lightest part of the picture so we dodge and burn to bring out the content of the photograph. Writers know how to use punctuation, but there is a difference between prose and poetry. Even the best word journalists do not write in rhymed couplets.
There is no place in print journalism for poetic license. And there is no place in photojournalism for the changing of the content of a documentary photograph to make it say what you think it should say or to make it prettier or to conform with your preconceived notions.
We all have values and these values motivate our work and give direction to our photojournalism, especially when we are working on a project. We spend hours in homeless shelters photographing the people there because we believe our photographs can make a difference. We believe in the dignity of all people and that even the most dissipated individuals deserve our help if they want to reclaim their lives. These values, these "truths," drive our photojournalism but they can never override our belief in the ultimate journalistic values of accuracy, fairness, and completeness.
This is a very complex question and one that deserves an entire semester's worth of discussion. Is the purpose of journalism to hold up a mirror to society so citizens can see what is happening? Or to hold up a lamp, to lead society toward a better world? Basic, basic questions.
And yet, I feel as though I am merely bringing just one more grain of sand to a beach that is miles long. What difference does one more discussion of art versus craft make in the world where entire staffs are fired and newspapers are closing? My newspaper went from 22 shooters and five picture editors to eight shooters and one photography editor. If they are working at all, newspaper shooters are looking at an industry in decline. It is hard to maintain a belief in the value of what you do when there are constant cutbacks, layoffs, and stories about comrades who not been able to find any employment in the profession they love. Read the recent News Photographer article about the Rocky Mountain News and what has happened to the shooters since it closed.
In this brave new world, what difference does a discussion of ethics make? If I sound disheartened, it's because sometimes I am.
But without ethics, we die.

Religious music or also called sacred music are songs that are performed or composed with the aim of using them in a religious way. There are different categories in this music genre, a few of these are: Christian Music, Jewish Music, Hindu Music and maybe the most popular Genre in this Genre, Rastafarian Music. After this paragraph, we will give you a list of all Religious music categories. Rastafarian is probably the most listened category because the other categories aren't very popular by the people who aren't interested in that religion. That's not the case with Rastafarian music because also people from other religions or people who don't believe in a religion listen to Reggae music. The different categories in the Religious Music genre are: - Christian Music - Hindu Music - Sikh Music - Jewish Music - Islamic Music - Rastafarian Music - Shinto Music - Buddhist music - Zoroastrian Music The first music that was played in the Christian Churches came from Jewish worship music. This Music wasn't realy sang but more spoken, it was something in between. Another possibility is that the Christian Music came from an ascetic monastic order. Buddhist music are song used in ritual or meditation by Buddhists. Music that's also related to this genre are: - Gospel Music - Church Music - Spiritual Music - Liturgical Music There's also a festival for this genre, namely the 'World Sacred Music Festival' and the first place where the festival was held was the holy city Fes in Morocco . It's a worldwide festival witch now takes place in Los Angeles every 3 years. The festival was originated by 'The Dalai Lama' in 1999 where they wanted to celebrate the Human Spirit. The World Sacred Music Festival is Sponsored every year by Interfaith Work which Is a non-profit company.

This weekend I'll be in Los Angeles, California, for WWE's SummerSlam 2012 pay-per-view, and one of the coolest aspects of that is that I'll be around at SummerSlam Axxess for THQ's hands-on experience with/live roster reveal of WWE '13. For those of you who don't know, THQ's WWE series is more or less the Madden of wrestling games, and this year's edition is set to feature one of the biggest talent rosters ever, including a bunch of guys who were around in the late 90s when you probably watched. For those of you who DO know, yes, I am going to ignore almost everything they tell me to do and just stand in the middle of Axxess making local indy wrestler create-a-wrestlers.
Anyway, here's the important information: I'll be tweeting my thoughts and impressions of the game as well as up-to-the-minute roster information (come on, Damien Sandow!) on my personal Twitter account all weekend, so be sure to follow me @MrBrandonStroud.
If you guys have any questions you'd like me to ask the developers, drop them in our comments section here and I'll try to get them answered. This is going down at Axxess, too, which means I should be within shouting distance of Dolph Ziggler if you want me to scream something to him about his Ass Cape. But no, seriously, the folks at THQ and WWE are awesome to let me take part in this, so let's make it a big deal.

He didn't forget Poland, but he skipped Afghanistan
Mitt Romney returned to the U.S. yesterday after a week-long foreign excursion, which by any measure, didn't go especially well. But before the focus shifts entirely, I have a confession to make: I'd assumed Romney would make a surprise visit to Afghanistan.
The schedule called for a three-country trip: U.K., Israel, and Poland, in that order. But given that Romney has no foreign policy experience, no background in military affairs, and no real credibility on anything related to national security, I figured he'd have to make an unannounced stop in Afghanistan – or at a minimum, to a U.S. military base somewhere in Europe.
In fact, I assumed Romney would stop in Afghanistan but had to keep the trip under wraps in advance due to security concerns, which would have been entirely understandable.
But he didn't go. In fact, shortly before he departed, one of Romney's policy advisors appeared on msnbc and said "real Americans" don't want to talk about the war in Afghanistan anyway. It's the longest war in American history, and three months before Election Day, no one seems to know exactly what Romney's position is on U.S. policy in Afghanistan.
I'm reminded of an anecdote the Wall Street Journal recently published.
Mr. Romney made that clear at a July fundraiser in Montana as he rehashed the challenges Mr. Reagan faced when he took office. He recounted how Mr. Baker, a former secretary of state, held a national security meeting about Latin America during the first 100 days of Mr. Reagan's presidency.
"And after the meeting, President Reagan called me in and said, 'I want no more national-security meetings over the next 100 days – all of our time has to be focused on getting our economy going,' " Mr. Romney recalled Mr. Baker saying.
In reality, this exchange between Reagan and Baker never happened. I don't know who told Romney this or whether Romney simply made it up out of whole cloth, but Reagan dealt with plenty of national-security meetings early in his presidency – as all presidents do.
Putting aside the merit of Romney's vague ideas about government, does he fully understand the nature of the position he's seeking?
Does he realize that a president, especially during a time of war, can't simply choose which areas of interest will be important to him, and leave national security behind altogether?
If Romney takes the oath of office in January, he'll have tens of thousands of American troops on the ground in Afghanistan, fighting a war that began so long ago, he was still a liberal Republican at the time. Does anyone have the foggiest idea what he intends to do with those troops and/or how long he intends to keep them there?

Investors can now put the virtual currency bitcoin in a decidedly un-virtual asset: real estate.
RealtyShares, a crowdfunding platform for real-estate investments, began accepting bitcoin on Tuesday. The service was launched last year and allows accredited investors to buy shares in private real-estate investments ranging from single-family homes to retail centers.
The push for bitcoin came from existing investors late last year, said Nav Athwal, co-founder and chief executive of RealtyShares. "Fifteen to 20% of our current investor base is global," he said in an interview. "The process for them to transfer money to complete investments…is very daunting."
RealtyShares works with San Francisco-based Coinbase to process bitcoin transactions and converts the virtual currency to U.S. dollars immediately to avoid exposure to volatility, said Athwal. Coinbase made waves in January when it partnered with Overstock.com Inc. to allow the online discount retailer to accept bitcoin payments.
To date, the RealtyShares platform has attracted more than $1 million in investments and funded 13 properties. Bitcoin "makes it easier for money to flow through our system and allows investors to put bitcoin in a hard asset like real estate," said Athwal.

Zero Motorcycles Launches New Logo
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., (22nd October 2013) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced the launch of an all-new branding campaign to coincide with the launch of their 2014 model line at the 2013 EICMA International Motorcycle Exhibition. The update to Zero Motorcycles corporate branding reflects the rapid development of the Zero Motorcycles product line and is based on extensive consumer research and analysis. As the technology and application of Zero's Motorcycles has advanced over the years, the new logo, color palette and heritage mark reflects Zero Motorcycles evolution as a company and the ever growing appeal of the electric riding experience.

Maybe it has something to do with the Texas landscape, or maybe it's the financial incentives the Texas Film Commission likes to throw around, but television producers sure seem to love something about Texas.
From "Lonesome Dove" to "Friday Night Lights," it seems like when something good is on TV, a piece of it can be traced back to Texas.
So what's the best-of-the-best when it comes to Texas, Texans or otherwise Lone Starry stuff on TV?
For our era-spanning, genre-hopping, inexhaustively researched, semi-definitive guide to the best Texasy stuff ever on television, we put great Texas TV characters like J.R. Ewing head-to-head with Texas reality stars like Kelly Clarkson and defining Texas TV moments like the 2006 Rose Bowl to see which was tops in doing us proud in the broader pop culture landscape.
Not every entry is a Texan (or even a human), and we made no point of trying to wedge every Texas actor on the list. But when we think of Texas on the tube, this is what comes to mind.
This week, "The Bridge" becomes the latest Texas-based show to hit cable lines and satellite waves.
Set and partially filmed in El Paso, "The Bridge" (9 p.m. CST Wednesdays, FX) stars Diane Kruger and Dermian Bichir as a pair of detectives – one from Texas, one from Mexico – assigned to solve the murder of a high profile Texas politician found dead on a bridge separating their countries.
The trailer below suggests a drama of the sort we're used to seeing from FX: dark, moody, well-written and better acted by a talented ensemble cast (think: "Sons of Anarchy," "Justified," "American Horror Story").

Applied Kinesiology is a great diagnostic tool to maximize the benefits of any chiropractic technique as well as balancing the meridians (energy lines) of the body typically associated with acupuncture.

What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractors diagnose in the same way as medical doctors and study most of the same courses and study a similar number of hours in their education.
A chiropractor will diagnose your condition based upon findings from range of motion, palpation, muscle testing, orthopedic tests and other studies like x-ray or MRI when necessary to further evaluate a condition.
A chiropractor is licensed to treat muscular or skeletal disorders of the spine and the extremities including the shoulders, hands, knees and feet.
A chiropractor addresses your condition by adjustments of the spine and extremities, and when necessary uses physiotherapy such as electrical muscle stimulation, manual therapy, kinetic exercises, ultrasound and infrared to name a few.
Typically a chiropractor will adjust the spine to increase the mobilization of joints that have become dysfunctional. The importance of this is that it reestablishes the joint's proprioceptive mechanisms so the body can heal itself. Read more on subluxation on the spine.
While a chiropractor may not treat directly some disorders of the body like I.B.S. or asthma, many patients find improvement of many such conditions by facilitating the body to heal itself through chiropractic treatments.
You may seek treatment of a chiropractor directly for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, hip pain, arm or leg pain, headaches, shoulder pain, radiating pain, sharp and shooting pain, frozen shoulder, disc herniation, TMJ syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, knee pain, among others.
Often people don't realize chiropractic is able to safely and effectively treat sciatica, disc disorders, shoulder pain, knee pain, rib pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ syndrome, tennis elbow, in addition to the common back pain and neck pain. Dr. Best, D.C. especially finds with AK and chiropractic amazing results working with shoulder and rotator cuff injuries often preventing the need for surgery.

Cellular matrix stimulation and body balancing are among the many benefits laser therapy. Other chiropractic physiotherapy may include: interferential current, percussion, and bio meridian stimulation. For chiropractic patients who prefer more low force adjusting Dr. Ken Best Chiropractor West Hollywood is trained to the use Activator Methods™ adjusting and the IMPAC Adjustor.
Dr. Best chiropractor also provides neuro-emotional technique and theta therapy to balance injuries that have an emotional link.
Applied Kinesiology is a system developed by chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart, D.C., to study the reaction of the body to muscle stimulus. The chiropractor can find either strong or weak muscles through manual muscle testing. Each muscle has a relationship to various organs and meridians of the body.
Dr. Ken Best Chiropractor Los Angeles and West Hollywood can utilize this process to help determine what correction need to be made in order to strengthen the body, whether it is physical, chemical or emotional in its origin. This is not like most chiropractors or other types of practitioners who say they do "muscle testing." Dr. Best, D.C. is an ICAK certified practitioner of AK. Dr. Best, D.C. has study more than 1,000 hours of this specific technique and has taught hundreds of others chiropractors the practice of AK through the ICAK. Reliability in testing comes with experience. Learn more about AK.
Low-Force Chiropractic Adjusting Los Angeles
Dr. Best Chiropractor Los Angeles and West Hollywood is proficient in many manual chiropractic adjusting techniques, including Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson, but may also use "LOW-FORCE" adjusting (aka non-force). Primarily in low force chiropractic adjusting Dr. Best, D.C. uses the Activator adjustment. Corrections are made possible because all the force from the instrument is applied to a very small specific area of the spine. This provides not only very specific chiropractic adjusting, but does so because the body creates very little resistance to the Activator instrument as mechanoreceptors barely engage, allowing for improved movement in the area being adjusted. Activator Methods is a specific chiropractic technique.
The basic concept and philosophy of chiropractic is to restore normal motion and alignment of the spine and extremities, while improving the muscular strength and integrity of the ligaments which maintain the alignment.
The chiropractor may employ many different techniques to restore and maintain proper joint bio mechanics.
This is so vital as the communication from the brain to body is via the nervous system which is only as good as the proper movement of the joints. The chiropractor evaluates the functioning of your nervous system through motion palpation.

A Perfect Storm May Be Brewing for Platinum
The metal is already off to a roaring start for 2013, and its trajectory looks unlikely to change.
Platinum is off to a roaring start for 2013. The most relatively popular fund, ETF Physical Platinum securities (NYSEARCA:PPLT), has gained 11.7% year-to-date and 8.6% over the past three months. The corresponding numbers for GLD are -1.8% and -4.8%. There are reasons for this divergence beyond market whimsy.
Half of all gold produced in the world is bought up for investment. So the market moves on sentiment, and lately no one can really tell what that sentiment is. Gold prices fell during the stock market doldrums last fall, then fell more during the last three months of rally.
Platinum is called a precious metal, but it is really an industrial material. Just 8% of world production is used for speculation, according to market authority Johnson Matthey. Jewelry accounts for 29%, and the remaining 63% is devoured by manufacturing. More than half of that is consumed by auto manufacturers who use platinum and its rarer sister palladium to build catalytic converters.
So the platinum market runs on pretty transparent fundamentals. If you want to judge where demand is heading, look at car sales, and Chinese car sales in particular. It happens that Chinese car sales have been kicking butt for the past six months after a lackluster previous two years. Unit purchases in the No. 2 economy jumped fully 50% between July and December, then climbed another 9% in January, according to China Daily. Even if this demand explosion slackens a bit later in the year, that still spells a hearty appetite for platinum.
Platinum supply is still easier to understand than demand. It all depends, more or less, on South Africa, which accounts for three-quarters of the world's output. You may have heard that South African platinum mines experienced a wave of wildcat strikes last year, some of which escalated into fatal confrontations between miners and police.
Those thankfully died down, but they took a bite of production. The amount of platinum hitting world markets dropped by 10% in 2012. Demand held steady, creating the largest deficit in a decade.
The price of quieting the strikes was wage hikes in the neighborhood of 20%, swelling platinum miners' biggest cost when their margins were already squeezed. South Africa's state-owned power company, Eskom, is also piling on, proposing to raise the price of mining companies' second-biggest input by 15% per year for the next five years.
In short, the chances of platinum's Big Three producers -- Anglo American (PINK:AAUKY), Impala (PINK:IMPUY), and Lonmin (PINK:LNMIY) -- digging deeper to increase output are slim. The miners' current average cost is more than $1,600 per ounce, barely below the world price of around $1,700, estimates Will Rhind, managing director of ETF Securities. "The price would have to go a lot higher than it is to spur more production," he says.
A word of caution: Platinum prices can be more volatile than gold prices. After the metal reached its last peak in August 2011, it dropped 25% over the next four months. But with demand expanding, supply constrained, and inventories run down, it looks like the current upturn should have further to run.

U.S. Afghanistan auditor tells of free-for-all as subcontractors demand money they're owed
The U.S. government's primary auditing agency for Afghanistan has found that subcontractors on U.S.-funded projects in that country frequently aren't paid, resulting in a litany of problems that include delayed and unfinished jobs, death threats to company workers and allegations of corruption among Afghan police and judicial officials.
Primary contractors are responsible for the failure, but because the nonpayments leave the impression that the U.S. government and coalition forces aren't fulfilling their obligations, they undermine support for the coalition among the Afghan people and put at risk multimillion-dollar projects that are intended to promote stability, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction said in a letter to U.S. diplomatic, defense and aid officials warning them of what it called "serious problems" of nonpayments.
The letter, which SIGAR also released publicly, said that one project funded by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to build police stations in northern Afghanistan was reduced in size after unpaid subcontractors walked away with equipment that belonged to the prime contractor.
"The prime contractor was removed from the project in May 2010, six months past the completion date with only an estimated 40 percent of the work completed," the letter said.
Nearly a quarter of the complaints – 183 – that SIGAR received via its hotline here from 2009 to October 2012 regarded unpaid subcontracts, SIGAR said.
The agency has opened 52 investigations into allegations of nonpayment that involve $69 million. SIGAR said that a separate oversight office, the Inspector General for the Department of Defense, had received 44 such complaints in the past six years.
One case that SIGAR is investigating involves a prime contractor who allegedly owes 33 subcontractors more than $13 million.
"While a subcontractor may always face the risk of nonpayment by its prime contractor, Afghan subcontractors may be particularly at risk due to a lack of adequate legal protections and limitations placed on the U.S. government's ability to intervene on their behalf," the letter said.
Among the allegations, it said, were reports that the Afghan Attorney General's Office and national police had improperly intervened on behalf of one side or the other in payment disputes.
The letter described a Wild West atmosphere swirling around contract and subcontracts. There are predatory companies that win contracts without any intention of doing the work or of paying their subcontractors or suppliers, and subcontractors that threaten to use bombs to force payment.
"In one example reported to SIGAR, after the prime contractor offered mediation and arbitration to solve a contract dispute, the subcontractor threatened to use a suicide bomb to blow up himself and the prime contractor's offices," the letter said. "In another case, a prime contractor told SIGAR that a subcontractor threatened to blow up a compound of U.S. contractors and government agencies and another subcontractor threatened to kill the attorney for the prime contractor over nonpayment issues."
One unpaid subcontractor was so distraught he couldn't pay his workers that he threatened to set himself on fire in front of the U.S. Embassy in protest. Others described threats of violence from their own workers, suppliers and second-tier subcontractors when they couldn't pay their bills because they themselves hadn't been paid by the prime contractors.
In one case, an Afghan security company's workers reportedly threatened the company's management at gunpoint "and the company's management later reported to SIGAR that assault rifles, ammunition and uniforms were missing from the worksite," the letter said. "According to the employee, the incident was directly attributable to the prime contractor's failure to pay."
SIGAR suggested that the various agencies that received the letter – including the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Defense Department – provide closer supervision of contracts to ensure that subcontractors are paid promptly and that disputes are settled properly. It also suggested a number of other remedies to use more aggressively, including barring companies that don't properly pay subcontractors or otherwise act dishonestly from further contracts.
