• Marshals Service Spending Faulted ; Audit Cites Failures of Oversight Over Procurement

An audit by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General on Wednesday challenged oversight by the U.S. Marshals Service of more than $521 million in purchases during a two-year period, saying there was insufficient training for contracting personnel, ineffective management and review of procurement activities, and decentralized management of buying within the agency. Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, in a 20-page report, said the Marshals Service did not fully comply with federal regulations and departmental policies in its award and administration of procurement actions; its internal controls were not fully effective at ensuring adequate oversight of procurement actions; and its management of vendor purchases did not ensure vendor billings were accurate.

• Norfolk's New Patch of Green Is a Towering Improvement

EARLIER THIS week, I watched as a deputy U.S. marshal and two potential recruits worked out at Norfolk's newest park, a pricey parcel at Granby Street and West Brambleton Avenue. Sod and seed have transformed the once-barren landscape. In the late afternoon sun, the trio jogged across from the federal courthouse, alternating brief runs with sets of pushups or sit-ups.

Late last year, the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) officially transferred from the Transportation Security Administration to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move raised a series of questions about how the air marshals will function in their new environment. FAMS Director Thomas Quinn said the transition will take 2 to 3 years because of training requirements. FAMS is continuing to train ICE agents to learn the skills and activities of federal air marshals. The mission of FAMS is to detect, deter and defeat hostile acts against aviation. Deterrence is all about having those criminal terrorists understand that air marshals are out there and that they have a formidable opponent in the aviation domain. US federal marshals are not authorized to fly on foreign...

CHICAGO - The problem facing cigarette manufacturers decades ago involved tragic deaths and bad publicity, but it had nothing to do with cancer. It had to do with house fires.
