Serco prisoner transport contract to be opened to tender
Serco will have to compete for Western Australia's prison transport and court security contract after the State Government decided to put it out to competitive tender.
After a series of high profile failures with other private contractors, Serco was awarded a five year contract in 2011 which expires on June 30 next year.
The contract had scope for a five year extension, but after an internal review, Corrective Services Minister Joe Francis told Parliament the contract would not be rolled over.
"As a result of the review process, the Government has now informed Serco that it doesn't intend rolling over copy alhambra van cleef bracelet that contract," he said
Mr Francis said the existing contract had undergone a number of variations due to what he described as "changes in policy and circumstances".
As a result, corrective services commissioner James McMahon was tasked with working with the Department of Attorney General and police commissioner Karl O'Callaghan to review the Serco contract.
The review recommended the contract be put to tender.
"Tender documents will be released for public tender in the coming months," he said.
"The knock off van cleef green bracelet Department of Corrective Services will identify replica vintage alhambra bracelet future service delivery options and advise the Government on its preferred service delivery model."
Under the contract, Serco provided a range of services including court security and transporting prisoners between prisons, to court and to hospital.
According to the Department of Corrective Services, more than 35,000 prisoner movements occur each year, covering more than a million kilometres across metropolitan, regional and remote WA.
Death of elder, escapes under previous contractorsSerco has held the contract since 2011, when it took over from rival firm G4S.
G4S was prosecuted and fined over the 2008 death of Aboriginal elder Mr Ward, who died from the effects of extreme heat while being transported to Kalgoorlie in a prison van with no air conditioning.
G4S had taken over the contract from AIMS after that contractor was severely criticised for the escape of nine prisoners from the WA Supreme Court in 2004.
While there has been no repeat of either the incident involving Mr Ward, or the mass escape at the Supreme Court, Serco has been criticised over a series of escapes from custody in 2014.
Mr McMahon told a parliamentary inquiry that security had been a serious problem but had now been addressed.
But the same hearing heard other evidence of concerns that even minimum security prisoners were being shackled, of delays with getting prisoners to court, and even problems with ensuring prisoners were properly fed during the day.
The State Opposition welcomed the decision to put the contract to tender but said the public sector should be part of the competitive process.
"This is an opportunity to ensure that the public sector is able to compete, in a transparent and fair basis," Opposition corrective services spokesman Paul Papalia said.
"There should be a public sector team appointed to deliver an alternative to the private operators."
Mr Papalia said any new contract should be limited to the term of government.
The contract expires on the June 30, 2016, less than a year before the March 2017 state election.
In a statement, Serco said it intended to continue providing high quality court security and custodial services until the contract concluded on the June 30 next year.

Vice President of Marketing
MICHELLE VAN SLYKE joined The UPS Store, Inc., in November 2010 as vice president of marketing. Van Slyke spent the first 15 years of her career at Ford Motor Company, holding positions such as corporate advertising manager, global process and strategy manager and vice president of marketing for Jaguar. Past positions include vice president of marketing at Mercedes Benz and Hyundai Motor America. More recently, Van Slyke was chief marketing officer at Jacuzzi Group Worldwide and Raley's. Van Slyke holds a bachelor's degree from University of Southern California and a master's degree in business administration from University of Notre Dame.
How has your life experience made you the leader you are today?
Growing up, I knew that in order to build the career I wanted and Hermes birkin bags fake become the successful person I wanted to be, I not only needed to go to college, but I needed to go to a great one. After attending the University of Southern California for my undergraduate degree and going on to Notre Dame for my master's degree, I began my marketing career at Ford Motor Company.
Ford had exactly what I needed to start my career training, and an opportunity for growth into senior level sales and marketing positions. My second day on the job, I was stationed in the call center speaking to customers. Ford believed it was important for their sales and marketing teams to connect directly with customers. Today, I look back and realize that a major reason my career has been as successful is because I learned early on to care about the customer.
It's important to understand how critical experience is. People tend to want to jump into management positions, but nothing prepares you better for a leadership role than working your way up.
How has your previous employment experience aided your position at The UPS Store?
I've been in the world of franchising most of my business career and virtually my entire life. Growing up, my parents owned a franchise, so I got to see the both the rewards and the difficult challenges of franchise ownership firsthand. Ultimately, working alongside my parents is what contributed to my understanding of franchisee ownership and prepared me for my career.
Later, during my years at Ford, I was working in the field directly with local dealership owners and managers on how to improve business. This experience also provided me with firsthand knowledge and an appreciation for the basics of franchising and gave me a greater understanding of what it means to work with an independent business owner.
Today, I use these experiences to help coach my team. I strongly urge everyone in the our department imitiaton hermes bag to work in a The UPS Store center for at least five days each year to gain experience working directly with small business customers, store employees and franchisees. That firsthand knowledge is what makes you a better marketer.
What have the highlights and challenges been during your tenure at The UPS Store?
As my career revved up, I developed a strong desire to do two things: work with one of our nation's leading brands, and be a part of a strong leadership team. When the opportunity became available at The UPS Store, that's exactly what I found. But I also realized there was a lot to be done.
When I started with the company, my first priority was developing a comprehensive marketing strategy. Once established it helped me outline a list of things that could be improved upon. Four years later, I'm proud to say my greatest success has been checking items off that list. For example we've completely redesigned the website, added online print capabilities, better defined our key target market (the small business customer), and diversified our portfolio of services to better serve those customers. With each passing year, we make greater, quantifiable strides in marketing.
In addition one recent project I had a ton of fun with was the launch of 3D print. Although there was some internal resistance in the beginning, we did the research and helped our team to see the big picture. We took something that was initially regarded as something of a "niche" service and turned it into something that's shifting not only the culture of our brand and stores, but the expectations of the entire industry.
What advice can you offer women who are looking for a career in marketing?
You need to start with the basics and gain a strong education in marketing. I believe that marketing is as much of a discipline as finance or information technology, and a strong educational foundation is essential. After that, it's just a matter of keeping up with current marketing trends replica birkin handbags and how they are impacting your industry.
I also strongly advise women looking to succeed in this industry to seek out a mentor and connect with other women in marketing. The best way to learn basic marketing principles is by listening to others. If you don't know something, join an online community, find someone who does, and simply ask. Connecting with others is the easiest way to learn more and hone your skills.
How do you maintain a work/life balance?
For the first 20 years of my career, I admit I had absolutely no balance in my personal and professional lives. After leaving Hyundai, I took almost a year off work and used that time to step back and reflect on my career. I decided that when I returned to the business world, I would have to find that balance between work and my personal life. I made a conscious decision to no longer just "live to work". I met my husband about a year after making that decision and I couldn't be happier! Better managing my workload and having different expectations for myself has made all the difference.
What do you think is the biggest issue for women in the workplace?
One of the greatest challenges that women in the workplace continue to face is that most business leaders are still men, and the fact that men and women communicate differently. As a working woman helping to lead marketing at major corporations, I have personally struggled to find the right balance between being assertive and working well with others. For women, there's always a fine line between being assertive and coming across as "mean". This has been a balancing act in nearly every position I've held. As a matter of fact, I send members of my team to assertiveness training to help them become more confident and able to present a strong argument in the most effective way.
How has mentorship made a difference in your professional and personal life?
Under mentors, you have the ability to learn from their life experiences, both in and out of the workplace. I have my mentors to thank for teaching me how to work smarter and accomplish more.
Toward the beginning of my career, a senior leader told me "If it is to be, it's up to me." Rather than point fingers or assign blame, a good leader will get involved. Today, if I notice someone is off strategy, I know it's my job to help them turn things around.
Over time, my mentors also taught me that individuals who overload themselves are the ones who struggle the most and go home stressed. Going back to what I was saying about retaining my work/life balance, this has made a huge impact on my personal life and I'm more careful and realistic about what I'll say "yes" to.
Which other female leaders do you admire and why?
I really admire Hillary Clinton just look at her Twitter account and you should see why. She has one of the most brilliant accounts that pairs all she has accomplished with a great deal of humor. "Hair icon, pantsuit aficionado" how can you not admire how this woman describes herself? But seriously, Hillary possesses elements of tenaciousness and perseverance that instantly ignite my admiration. In addition to that, she's accomplished so much as a wife, a mother and in her political career, and she's still pushing for more.
I also admire the Oprah's and Martha's of the world the women who have great lives and have seen so much success, while overcoming significant challenges along the way. To know how these women struggled and continued to persevere through very tough times and then go on to lead happy lives and achieve so much is truly admirable.
What do you replica hermes handbags outlet want The UPS Store to accomplish in the next year?
Looking forward, one major goal will be expanding our ecommerce capabilities. Online print was our first significant step in ecommerce and we're currently looking for ways to further develop that part of our business.

Vettel Leads Red Bull Charge For Indian GP
Vettel, who can win his fourth straight title by finishing fifth or higher in Sunday's race, set the pace with a lap of 1:25.722s at the 5.125km Buddh International Circuit to go 0.289s faster that Red Bull team mate Mark Webber.
The stark facts make the session appear business as usual for Vettel but it was not without its difficulties. For a start, he was hampered by KERS problems the German's pace an ominous sign assuming the issue was not rectified, which is unclear and his car's rear brakes also left him pit bound at one stage.
More importantly in the context of the weekend ahead, both Vettel and Red Bull's cars suffered from blistering of the soft compound option tyre, particuarly on the left hand side.
He was not alone in that regard, with Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz reporting blistering and graining up and down the pitlane. However, with a concerned Adrian Newey joined by Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery in the Red Bull pits at one stage, the suggestion is that they might be struggling more than most.
There is no suggestion, however, that the soft tyre might pose a safety concern but assuming it fails to last in Sunday's race, it could lead to a strategy re think on the part of the teams.
Last year's race was a one stopper, with Pirelli bringing softer tyres in response to spice things up. Twelve months on, a two stop race is on the cards according to hermes black belt knockoff Hembery, who appeared unconcerned by the blistering when he spoke to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle afterwards.
"To get a two stop race, you've got to push with the choice and that's what we've done with the soft," he said. "As long as fake hermes mens belt the teams can do the qualifying and the ten to 15 laps, which it seems they can Kimi and Fernando did 24 laps runs on the softs then we could be in for a two stop race," Hembery said.
"There were no issues with the medium tyre, which will be the main race tyre."
The session was not without its safety concerns, though, with Williams bringing their running to a premature halt after a wheel nut fell off Pastor Maldonado's car.
The incident, which came shortly after a tyre stop, was very similar to that which befell the Venezuelan during practice at the Japanese Grand Prix two weeks ago. On that occasion, Williams were fined by the FIA, which said it viewed the situation as "serious".
Behind the Red Bull pair, who also finished one two in the morning's session, came Lotus's Romain Grosjean, with Lewis Hamilton fourth for Mercedes ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) was sixth fastest ahead of Felipe Massa (Ferrari), with Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus) and McLaren pair Sergio Perez and Jenson Button completing the top ten.
Further down the order, Maldonado wound up 16th fastest, three places behind team mate Valtteri Bottas, while Paul imitation hermes belt sale Di hermes mens belt replica Resta was 15th the Force India driver also three place behind his team mate Adrian Sutil.
At the back of the pack, Max Chilton was 22nd fastest, 1.4s down on Marussia team mate Jules Bianchi, who was nevertheless fractionally slower than the rival Caterham of Giedo van der Garde.

Cheap Jordans 2017, The Air Jordan 9 is set to kick off 2018 for its 25th Anniversary. Today, we get a first look at an upcoming Air Jordan 9 2018 Retro that comes dressed in a DMP-styled Black, Summit White and Metallic Gold color scheme. We're just short of the mid-way point of 2017 and most of the big Jordan Retro releases are still in front of us, but we're already getting a preview of what's to come in 2018. This Air Jordan 9, packaged in a white, gold, and black colorway, is set for a relaese in January 2018 for $190. White tumbled leather, similar to the materials used in the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG releases, is used for the mudguard/ankle piece portion, while a black suede is used for the upper.
New Jordans 2016, The Air Jordan 9 will be celebrating its 25th birthday in 2018 and this is just one of the retros that will be releasing next year. Air Jordan IX The Air Jordan IX made its debut in 1993, with the Tinker Hatfield design aiming for a worldly focus in the wake of Michael Jordan's absence from the NBA. The original Air Jordan IX was a sneaker never worn by Michael on the basketball court during its original run. Going with a more luxurious looking vibe. This Air Jordan 9 features a Black suede upper with White tumbled leather overlays. A matching White midsole and rubber outsole, along with Metallic Gold branding completes the design.
Jordans 2017, One of the biggest releases for 2018 will be the return of the Air Jordan 3 OG "Black Cement" with Nike Air that will be releasing in February. Now we look ahead at a few other Air Jordan 2018 Retro Releases that you can look forward to releasing in the first few months of the new year. Shown here in a predominately black and white color scheme, this colorway does use a splash of metallic gold on the logos and branding for pop. Seeing as how the Air Jordan 9 originally released when MJ retired from basketball these could be inspired by his short lived baseball career due to its Baron-like color scheme.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Air Jordan 13, 2018 Air Jordan Shoes athletes will take to the gridiron wearing special Player Edition (PE) colorways of the Air Jordan 13 cleats during the 2017 NFL Season. Each player worked with Jordan Brand to design personal cleats based on their style and team uniforms. One of the newest and hottest Air Jordan Retro Collection comes from the Michigan Wolverines. We've already took a look a majority of the collection in detail, not to mention those sick "Fab 5" PEs.

Venous thrombosis in users of non
AbstractObjective To assess the risk of venous thrombosis in current users of non oral hormonal contraception.Main outcome measures Incidence rate of venous thrombosis in users of transdermal, vaginal, intrauterine, or subcutaneous hormonal contraception, relative risk of venous thrombosis compared with non users, and rate ratios of venous thrombosis in current users of non oral products compared with the standard reference oral contraceptive with levonorgestrel and 30 40 g oestrogen. Diagnoses were confirmed by at least four weeks of anticoagulation therapy after the diagnosis.Results Within 9429128 woman years of observation, 5287 first ever venous thrombosis events were recorded, of which 3434 were confirmed. In non users of hormonal contraception the incidence rate of confirmed events was 2.1 per 10000 woman years. Compared with non users of hormonal contraception, and after adjustment for age, calendar year, and education, the relative risk of confirmed venous thrombosis in users of transdermal combined contraceptive patches was 7.9 (95% confidence interval 3.5 to 17.7) and of the vaginal ring was 6.5 (4.7 to 8.9). The corresponding incidences per 10000 exposure years were 9.7 and 7.8 events. The relative risk was increased in women who used subcutaneous implants (1.4, 0.6 to 3.4) but not in those who used the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (0.6, 0.4 to 0.8). Compared with users of combined oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel, the adjusted relative risk of venous thrombosis in users of transdermal patches was 2.3 (1.0 to 5.2) and of the vaginal ring was 1.9 (1.3 to 2.7).Conclusion Women who use transdermal patches or vaginal rings for contraception have a 7.9 and 6.5 times increased risk of confirmed venous thrombosis compared with non users fashion cheap hermes handbags of hormonal contraception of the same age, corresponding to 9.7 and 7.8 events per 10000 exposure years. The risk was slightly increased in women using subcutaneous implants but not in those using the levonorgestrel intrauterine system.IntroductionSeveral studies have assessed the risk of venous thrombosis in women using oral contraceptives.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 However, none has assessed the risk in women using subcutaneous hormonal implants. A recent study reported a 48% higher risk of venous thrombosis in women using a vaginal ring compared with those using combined oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel,11 and a few studies have reported the risk in women using a transdermal combined contraceptive patch, although the results were conflicting.12 13 14 15 16Using a historical national registry based cohort study design, we assessed the absolute and relative risk of venous thrombosis in Danish women using non oral hormonal contraception.MethodsInformation on the four national data sources that provided information for the study is provided in detail elsewhere.10 Briefly, from Statistics Denmark we obtained data on length of schooling, ongoing or finished education, vital status, and emigration of all Danish women aged 15 49 from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2010. We censored women in cases of death or emigration.Since 1977 the national registry of patients has collected discharge diagnoses from all public and private hospitals in Denmark (see appendix for a list of the relevant diagnoses and codes used in this study). To include only first ever events, we excluded women with any type of venous or arterial thrombotic event before the study period (1977 2000), those with cancer, those who had undergone bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy, and those who had been sterilised. From study follow up we censored a woman's risk time during pregnancy, calculated from conception to three months after delivery, and women with a coagulation disorder from the first time such a diagnosis was recorded (appendix). The registry records only women admitted alive to hospital. Lethal events from venous thrombosis were captured in the national cause of death registry.A diagnosis of venous thrombosis was confirmed through prescribed anticoagulation therapy recorded in the national registry of medicinal products for at least four weeks after the diagnosis. Since 1 January 1994, and validated from 1995, information on filled prescriptions, including hormonal contraception, collected by the national registry of medicinal products has been complete. From this database we obtained information that had been updated daily on redeemed prescriptions of hormonal contraception from 1995 to 2010. We categorised the products in use according to progestogen type, oestrogen dose, and route of being administered. Duration of use was estimated from the prescribed defined daily doses from the date of prescription until the end date of defined daily doses of the last redeemed prescription or date of a study event. When hormonal contraception was switched without pause, we calculated duration as the sum of use before switch and current use of the new preparation. If a pause lasted for more than four weeks, we reset the length of use. To account for use before study start (left censoring bias), we allocated continuous users of hormonal contraception to replica birkin handbags the relevant duration of use category on 1 January 2001 by assessing use before the study period back to 1995.Women who used the levonorgestrel intrauterine system were censored after three years and included again when a new prescription of a hormonal contraceptive product was recorded. This was done owing to missing information on removal of these devices.Length of schooling and level of education were used as proxies for social class. Four strata were applied: elementary school education only, ongoing or completed high school education, high school and ongoing or ended middle length education, and high school and ongoing or ended long education. A fifth category included women without information on education, typically the youngest women.We controlled for calendar year to deal with potential secular confounding of increasing adiposity by time.Data on smoking were not available. Smoking is a weak risk factor for venous thrombosis in young women. However, we have no reason to believe in preferential prescribing of specific types of hormonal contraception among smokers. In Denmark the correlation between smoking and Hermes birkin bags fake length of education is strong. Thus, controlling for years of schooling and length of education may have captured most confounding (if any) influenced by smoking. Absolute as well as relative risk estimates were calculated. The reference group for the relative risk estimates was non users of all types of hormonal contraception (never users+former users). We calculated rate ratios for the different product types, with users of oral contraceptives containing 30 40 g oestrogen and levonorgestrel as reference. Tests for interaction with age and year were carried out.Relative risk estimates were adjusted for age, calendar year, length of schooling and education, and eventually for length of contraceptive use. For all relative risk estimates and replica hermes handbags outlet incidence rate ratios we calculated 95% confidence limits. We set the level of significance at PResultsAfter exclusions and censoring, 1626158 non pregnant women free of previous thrombotic diseases or cancer contributed 9429128 woman years of observation. During this time 5287 diagnoses of first ever venous thrombosis events were recorded, corresponding to 8.1 per 10000 woman years. Current users of hormonal contraception contributed 3536946 woman years and of these, 325849 concerned non oral products. Non users of hormonal contraception contributed 5892182 woman years, with an overall incidence of confirmed venous thrombosis of 2.1 per 10000 woman years. The incidence of venous thrombosis increased by 42.9% during the 10 year study period, or by 4.3% per year (table 1). After adjustment for calendar year and use of hormonal contraception, the incidence increased by 6.3 fold with increasing age and decreased by 51.2% with increasing length of education.Table 1 Crude incidence rate and adjusted relative risk of confirmed venous thrombosis according to age, calendar year, and length of educationView this table:View popupView inlineHormonal contraception and venous thrombosisCurrent use of combined oral contraceptives with 30 40 g oestrogen and levonorgestrel increased the risk of confirmed venous thrombosis by 3.2 (2.7 to 3.8), corresponding to an incidence of 6.2 events per 10000 exposure years (table 2).Table 2 Crude incidence rate and adjusted relative risk of venous thrombosis in current users of non oral hormonal contraception and combined oral contraceptives (COC) with non users as referenceView this table:View popupView inlineDuring 6178 woman years, six confirmed events of venous thrombosis were observed in association with transdermal combined contraceptive patches, corresponding to an incidence of 9.7 per 10000 exposure years. Compared with non users of hormonal contraception, the adjusted relative risk was 7.9 (3.5 to 17.7) and compared with users of oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel the rate ratio was 2.5 (1.1 to 5.6, tables 2 and 3). After adjustment for length of use, the rate ratio was reduced to 2.3 (1.0 to 5.2). When compared with oral contraceptives containing the corresponding progestogen (norgestimate), the adjusted rate ratio was 2.2 (1.0 to 5.0).Table 3 Rate ratio estimates of venous thrombosis between users of different types of non oral hormonal contraception and users of combined oral contraceptives (COC) with levonorgestrel and 30 40 g oestrogen (reference group)
