Philadelphia: "SEPTA is now providing free face masks for riders, but the transit agency warns that supplies are limited and only those who really need a mask should take one.

The surgical masks will be placed in plastic bags aboard various buses, trains and trolleys starting Wednesday, SEPTA spokesman John Golden said. Signs will point people to the masks, and they’ll be able to grab their own without a driver having to hand it to them.

The masks will be available on trains on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street lines, as well as vehicles departing 69th, 15th, Suburban and Jefferson stations, Golden said. He added that supplies are limited and that SEPTA currently has no plans to order more once they run out."

" The Department of Defense’s inspector general found that the procurement of its controversial multi-billion dollar enterprise cloud contract was “consistent with applicable law and acquisition standards,” according to a final report released April 15.

The long-anticipated report on the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) cloud contract, which was awarded to Microsoft over Amazon Web Services in October, found that while the Pentagon didn’t violate the law with the contract structure, it did make several mistakes along the way, including ethical violations by employees and sharing Microsoft’s proprietary information with Amazon.

Central to the JEDI conflict were allegations that President Donald Trump interfered in the contracting process, trying to sway the decision away from Amazon. In its investigation, the inspector general was unable to “definitively” determine both the extent to which the White House communicated with senior Defense Department officials and the nature of communications about the procurement, because of assertions of executive privilege."
