revision3 was a san francisco-based multi-channel internet television network that created , produced and distributed web television shows on niche topics .

founded in 2005 , it operated as a subsidiary of discovery digital networks since 2012 .

the network produced technology and gaming oriented programming in tandem with traditional comedic , political , diy , and movie-related content .

on march 31 , 2017 , discovery communications closed the website .

revision3

that’s the scenario martin sargent , director of acquisitions at revision3 , is betting on for the online media company’s latest venture : revision3 beta .
the discovery channel is announcing that it has acquired online video company revision3 , as reported in allthingsd . revision3 has also confirmed the deal in a press release .
revision3 will continue operating with 50 employees under its current management , led by ceo jim louderback .
revision3 marks the biggest acquisition of an indie online video network since youtube snapped up nextnewnetworks last year .
epic fu and wine library will no longer be distributed through revision3 , although the shows are still available at their respective sites . ( and epic fu will still be available on revision3 through december . )
the new web venture is a virtual studio to test - drive shows before they hit revision3’s main site .
revision3 is a pioneer in the online programming space , having built out 23 digital channels filled with programming mostly aimed at technology and video games including series “tekzilla . ” based in san francisco , revision3 currently reaches 27 million unique monthly visitors .
we’re continuing to develop and invest in new properties . we launched seven new shows last month , for instance , on revision3 beta , and we’ve got high hopes for an expanded lineup there – and seeing some of that first crop graduate to revision3
even though we’re sad to see these shows end on revision3 , in today’s economic climate it’s essential for us to focus on what we do best , and where the best opportunity for success lie ,
wrote jim louderback , revision3 ceo , in an official blog post .
we remain huge fans of these two shows , even though they don’t fit our long - term plans at revision3 ,
wrote louderback .
revision3’s game plan might sound like just another web venture offshoot , but the project makes sense : it’s a low - cost and low - risk way for revision3 to expand its line of programming while offering up - and - coming creators a platform that isn’t overrun with music videos and amateur clips .
revision3 kicked off the project with seven original ideas submitted by budding video producers , and gave the directors tools to take their series to the next level .
revision3 has partnered with videoclix to offer viewers clickable web videos . videoclix’s technology allows viewers to click on different objects within a video , including show hosts and product

even though we’re sad to see these shows end on revision3 , in today’s economic climate it’s essential for us to focus on what we do best , and where the best opportunity for success lie .
here’s a video match made for the web . revision3 , the video playground of digg founders kevin rose and jay adelson , is teaming up with urltoken to syndicate all of its shows . that includes diggna
revision3 was founded by digg founders jay adelson and kevin rose ( who also hosts its most popular show , diggnation ) . it raised $ 8 million just last june . but producing video shows can be very expensive .
that ' s what revision3 has teamed up with charity : water to make a difference . charity : water donates 100 % of the money it raises to building wells and bringing clean water to communities in need . each show on revision3 , as well as revision3 staff , clients , and partners , are reaching out to our viewers , fans , friends , and family to raise money to build wells . it takes $ 5 , 000 to build a well that can provide clean water to an entire village , so we need your help . donate here , or on campaign pages for any of our shows to get involved . go to urltoken and urltoken to learn more .
revision3 will reportedly continue to operate from its san francisco headquarters and produce its own web shows , though the plan is to start incorporating discovery channel content eventually . the company previously said it has 800 million video views in 2011 .
the new media landscape is getting more and more crowded ,
said sargent , who hosts revision3’s hit web show , internet superstar .
as it gets easier to make these shows , it gets harder to corral audiences .
revision3 beta’s lineup includes hackcollege , a lifehacking show aimed at the university set ; your weekly music lesson with walt by walt ribeiro ( aka
the internet’s music teacher
) ; and bottles , brews and blends , a drink review show ( embedded ) .
sargent sifted through the submissions and hand - picked several candidates , then supplied each team with seed money to cover production costs , studio time with green screens , tech advisers and equipment . the show producers also get a portion of ad revenue earned by revision3 beta .
discovery may be the most conservative among media companies when it comes to repurposing its tv content online , with no deals in place among major distributions for tv everywhere either . revision3 will help fill that vaccuum , though the conglom will continue to consider tv and digital largely separate platforms .
“with revision3’s industry - leading management team and roster of great talent , we look forward to cultivating more original content and fresh personalities that resonate with passionate communities online and across all platforms , while enhancing our innovative marketing solutions for advertising partners , ” discovery chief digital officer jb perrette says in the release .
discovery will look to continue the growth of revision3 , partly with intellectual property from discovery’s vast library of intellectual property and pacts to come that will reel in new independent talent online already building followings in the parent company’s key verticals of science , technology and wildlife . that growth will fuel additional cross - platform opportunities for discovery ad sales .
web video production house revsion3 is canceling three shows , cutting back staff , and ending distribution agreements with wine library tv and epic fu . rumors started swirling earlier today about layoffs , when rocketboom founder andrew barron put out a tweet about one of the layoffs . revision3 ceo jim louderback confirms in a blog post that three in - house shows have been canceled ( the long - running pixel perfect , as well as popsiren , and internet superstar ) . in addition , revsion3 will no longer be distributing smashface’s epic fu or gary vaynerchuck’s wine library tv , possibly because those required upfront payments to the producers of those shows which revision3 had been hoping to make up over time in advertising revenues .
hulu , the online video site created as a joint venture between nbc and news corp . , will distribute shows from content startup revision3 , which focuses on shows broadly related to technology . now you can easily switch between wwe wrestling matches and watching alex albrecht and kevin rose getting drunk without having to turn off your laptop .

today the company announced it will be put into use in all of revision3 ' s programming - - starting with the latest episode of diggnation filmed last week in amsterdam . other revision3 shows will follow , including tekzilla , the totally rad show , and internet superstar . in its first version , users were required to download the video and play it back in apple ' s quicktime player to get the technology to work . however , in the latest model , the self - contained flash player now includes small overlays that pop - up from the right side of the player and link off - site . there ' s also an entire list of embedded objects users can browse . clicking any of them will skip ahead to the part of the show .
my boss eric eldon wrote on monday night that an acquisition was in the works , with a price between $ 30 million and $ 40 million . looks like he was right : discovery isn’t releasing the terms , but allthingsd is also hearing that the price was $ 30 million . revision3 had raised $ 10 million from investors including greylock partners , marc andreessen , and mark cuban .
director dan trachtenberg is suddenly in a position most movie fans dream of . in a sort of internet - infused millennial version of jean - luc godard — going from critic at cahiers du cinéma to becoming a renowned movie director — trachtenberg has followed a path of movie geekdom : chatting about movies on the internet with his friends to making movies his internet friends would talk about . and it all started with revision3 .
published reports pegged the value of the deal at $ 30 - 40 million . discovery declined comment on terms of the deal . while discovery already has plenty of online real estate between the dot - com extensions of its cable channels as well as acquisitions ranging from urltoken to howstuffworks . com , most of those properties are reliant on display ad dollars . revision3 will double the company’s video inventory and open the door to more lucrative integration opportunities .
he does not say how many people were laid off . i’ve asked him via e - mail . ( i count at least five . caroline mccarthy at cnet counts nine , which would be about one third of employees . if anyone knows the exact number , please submit it to our layoff tracker . update : kevin rose lists ten people ) . smashface , for its part , is laying off three staffers as a result of losing the revision3 licensing revenue .
in the mid - to late - aughts , trachtenberg built his online cred by molding a few different series on revision3 , the network of shows about geek - friendly niche topics . in 2006 , he directed a cooking comedy show called ctrl alt chicken , featuring media personalities like alex abrecht cooking recipes without really knowing how . he also co - hosted geekdrome , a sort of precursor to the well - loved pop culture series called the totally rad show he co - fronted with albrecht that made waves in internet fandom circles .
last year videoclix . tv demoed an early version of its creepy , yet intelligent video advertising technology in an episode of revision3 ' s diggnation , the popular podcast starring urltoken ' s kevin rose and co - host alex albrecht . the technology , which inserts clickable advertising in every element of the video , gives users a way to be linked up to online retailers for any product or service that ' s seen in videos . it also lets users click on things not for sale to see any related information from elsewhere on the web - - a handy service that ' s usually ended up with horribly annoying results when applied to text ads ( see intellitxt ) .
probably left the theater more entertained by a trailer that preceded the movie than the movie itself . with zero fanfare , j . j . abrams’ production company bad robot released a mysterious clip about a woman who wakes up in a doomsday bunker , captive to a man raving about the apocalypse . the trailer was for
. without warning , fans were denied answers . what was the trailer actually about , and who could pull off such a switcheroo ? the answer , it turns out , was one of us .
founded in 2007 , the totally rad show was a video podcast whose inclusive diy charm attracted a large following for five years before its end in 2012 . a sort of pop culture panoply , the totally rad show — or trs as it was affectionately called — covered anything and everything that fell under the banner of geek - related movies , video games , tv shows , and comic books . basically , trachtenberg , albrecht , and co - host jeff cannata gave their unique takes on major releases of the week , like a siskel and ebert for the comic book crowd .
here’s trachtenberg and his co - hosts talking about j . j . abrams’ super 8 from 2011 :
towards the end of trs , trachtenberg bolstered his filmmaking credits , and worked for commercials for brands like lexus , nike , coca - cola , mitchell & ness , and more before he graduated to sci - fi - tinged short films .
2011 , then , was his banner year . in march 2011 , he released more than you can chew , a six - minute short film about two paramedics who take a potentially deadly 911 call . it debuted on blackboxtv , the twilight zone - esque youtube channel that showcases anthologies of horror and sci - fi stories from independent filmmakers . five months later came trachtenberg’s real big break . he released portal : no escape , a live - action short based on the popular video game portal .
in retrospect , his gritty and realistic take on a woman trapped in a cell ( she later escapes ) has parallels to 10 cloverfield lane . millions of views on youtube later , it also proved he could do a lot with a little . suddenly , his name was associated with several new sci - fi features in hollywood .
in august 2011 , universal signed him to a deal to create a time - travel heist movie called crime of the century , based on his original idea . while the film was trapped in development hell , trachtenberg was also adapting a big - screen version of y : the last man , a comic book — with a reputation of being unadaptable — also suspended in development hell .
but by 2014 , his y movie fell apart , and he was courted by bad robot for a mystery project called “valencia” this elusive film ended up being 10 cloverfield lane , trachtenberg’s directorial debut . in typical abrams fashion , bad robot kept basically everything about the movie a secret , even to the actors involved , right up until the trailer debuted before 13 hours .
nearly everything about trachtenberg’s trajectory — and the movie itself — is surprising . both represent the drastic changes and huge opportunities offorded to filmmakers like rian johnson , colin trevorrow , and others .
you talk about movies on a podcast and make a short film on youtube one day and you’re working with j . j . abrams the next . you’re shooting a movie called “valencia , ” and suddenly it’s a cloverfield movie set for release in two months . we’re still waiting to unlock the mystery of his movie , but it’s no secret that dan trachtenberg has the track record to pull it off .

as more digital media studios experiment with new content , the trick isn’t always coming up with viable ideas — it’s connecting solid shows with a sizable audience .
we were getting a staggering number of e - mails from people with show ideas ,
said sargent .
and while they weren’t quite ready for our main site , they were good enough for promotion .
the media site , which is already home to epic fu , wine library tv and kevin rose’s diggnation , tallied 6 . 5 million pageviews in august , according to sargent .
not all of the beta shows are guaranteed to graduate to the big leagues .
ideally , every one one of these shows will become a successful moneymaker for us ,
said sargent .
but just like regular tv pilots , not everyone will make it .
still , he says , he’s accepting submissions and will continue to introduce new players into the beta lineup .
and submissions aren’t restricted to technology or educational shows .
there’s no limit on what we would accept — animated , scripted entertainment — as long as we can make it work on the budget ,
sargent said .
what the technology brings to the table is an alternative to the pre , post , and video overlay models of advertising usually seen in web video . services such as asterpix have been moving toward such a model , linking to information or reference sites over advertising alone . personally i find it much more useful and fun to use than current iterations of overlay ads , although i ' m sure video purists will be turned off by how much product placement can be intentionally packed into videos without them even realizing it .
you can test out the new technology with the latest episode of diggnation here . you can also check out the earlier iteration of the technology from a show filmed in 2007 .

icue ltd is a british company focused on using mobile phone ( cellphone ) technology to deliver written word content , that is , books and other publications .

the technology takes the form of a java application which is downloaded to the user handset via cellular wireless networks .

once downloaded , the user can access all books on their mobile phone at any time , with or without wireless network coverage .

the program is freely available from icue , when accessed from a united kingdom network .

books are read using one of three techniques : flicker , ticker or page .

icue has partnerships with many of the uk 's largest publishing houses including penguin , harper collins , pan macmillan , random house , egmont , transworld , a&c black and kogan page .

these partnerships provide icue users with access to books from diverse writers such as philip pullman , julie burchill , and charles dickens .

funds from the sale of books are split between the publishers , mobile network suppliers , and icue .

icue is a private business co-owned by senior management and benchmark capital , a uk-based venture capital firm .

part of the profits from the business will be used to fund charities that focus on improving reading skills amongst uk teenagers and adults .

lucinda bridges is the daughter of lloyd and dorothy bridges and sister of jeff and beau bridges . she is enthusiastic about joining icue as a special guest and plans to share captivating stories about the man we all knew and aspire to as deep sea adventurers .
what makes icue stand out from many of the other 50 - plus functions of a mobile that are often ignored is ease of use . it has done for books what shozu has done for transferring photos from a phone to a website : it has made the operation very easy to do . for that alone it deserves some success .
icue is initially doing quite a bit of marketing but also hopes that word of mouth or viral marketing will come into play since you can send the first chapter of a book you like to a friend free . otherwise the library of books - which ranges from julie burchill to philip pullman - will cost up to £4 . 50 each .
this application is completely missing any security feature to limit who connects to the icue setup . if i were to run this in a live environment , i would want a password protection option so that people can ' t just download the remote app and start controlling the prompters at a press conference when they ' re on a wireless network .
in 1969 , naui launched the international conference on underwater education ( icue or simply iq ) . the conference became a yearly diving event , predating the dema show by several years . divers and instructors from across the globe attended , and iq became so popular that registration finally had to be limited . the location was usually a large hotel that could accommodate the crowds .
the company has plans to try to capture the elusive youth market , which is notoriously difficult to persuade to buy books , and there are also opportunities for developing countries . the person behind icue , marc lewis , who has the majority of the shares , is giving his proceeds to charity . other shares are owned by senior management and benchmark capital , a british venture capital firm .
iq 2017 was held in conjunction with the scuba show in long beach , california , on may 6 & 7 . after nearly two decades of silence , the international conference on underwater education ( icue ) re - emerged at the long beach scuba show with a loud and definitive statement that naui’s commitment to quality education for divers has not diminished . spread over three days , icue 2017 offered everything from a connection with diving legends to engaging and informative presentations spanning topics as diverse as diving in antarctica and creating a culture of diving leadership that produces positive growth . use the linked images below to get a recap of the weekend ' s events and access the iq 2017 proceedings . images and posts can also be found on the official naui facebook page and by searching

housed in the college of education at the university of north carolina at charlotte welcomes you the website of the biennial international conference on urban education ( icue ) . this solutions - based conference is a global gathering of people who want to see our youth in urban schools reach their full potential . we welcome you to consider serving as a sponsor or exhibitor or simply attend the conference to learn how you can make a difference .
starting up was surprisingly easy . you simply send a text message to 64888 with the word icue typed into the text section . you soon receive another text message inviting you to click on a web address . after three or four clicks you are on its website and free to choose from a number of books . i chose the free one , charles dickens ' a christmas carol , and opted to store it on a memory card rather than on the phone itself . it is claimed to work on most cameraphones .
look no further - i ' ve tried a few of them and this is the best teleprompter on the appstore with great features . combined with its icue remote app , it is just what you are looking for . however , the menus and buttons are a bit dated and hope the developer would spruce the ui to make it look like an ios app . also , when i switch the remote to gestures mode , three is no way to switch it back to button mode - i have to uninstall and reinstall the app to reset it . please fix this .
it works ok , sometimes has syncing issues when using two ipads at once with a 3rd ipad or iphone as the remote . this application is completely missing any security feature to limit who connects to the icue setup . if i were to run this in a live environment , i would want a password protection option so that people can ' t just download the remote app and start controlling the prompters at a press conference when they ' re on a wireless network . sure i can set up my own separate network / ap and have that password protected , but thats one more thing to haul around / set up when most buildings i would be using this in already have an enterprise wifi environment deployed .
n recent years , i have kept a list of all the functions packaged into a mobile phone that could in principle be sold separately . the tally is now more than 50 and includes well - used functions such as cameras , browsers , emailers , video and music players as well as offbeat uses in asia such as electronic insect repellents . this week , i must add another : books . or maybe i should say libraries because icue , which was launched yesterday , claims to enable users to download and keep up to 400 books on a normal mobile phone memory card , a literary rival to apple ' s ipod . if this proves popular , it could open up new vistas for reading , with the chance of capturing people who don ' t currently read books . it has been possible before to download books or parts of books , but never on this scale .
new feature : ftp sharing new feature : any changes made in the style menu will be sent to connected remotes , including icue remote and other icues . this will keep both files in sync as changes are made . new feature : any changes made when formatting ranges of text in edit mode will be sent to connected devices . new feature : any text changes , adding characters , deleting characters , etc , will be sent to connected devices . this will allow text changes on the fly , that update all connected devices real time without the need to resend the file . new feature : when using the ios remote feature , devices communicate which version is being used and the user is notified if they need to update the app . fixed problem that could make markers get out of sync while changing line spacing or indentation . fixed a problem that could cause the app to crash when opening settings menus quickly . fixed a problem that could display strange characters after unicode characters in rtf files created with word . for example ü might be followed by an extra ' 9f . fixed a problem that would not display the text correctly while the text is mirrored during editing . fixed a problem that would not display the text mirrored after rotating device . fixed a problem that would prevent text from scrolling completely during editing , while connected to external monitor . fixed a problem that could cause a crash when launching the app , preventing access completely . removed script feature from applewatch that would display the text on the watch and allow scrolling with the crown . this will be reintroduced at a later date .
it didn ' t take long to download and i was soon choosing from among three ways of reading it : full screen , words scrolling continuously across the screen or - the recommended way - a succession of single words flashing on the screen . there is a slight pause after full stops and a smaller one after commas . apparently it is a method used by the american air force and takes about four minutes to get accustomed to . people who have used it claim it is twice as fast as ordinary reading .
it takes some getting used to but you can adjust the size of the text and the speed at which new words appear to suit your needs by using the navigation bar of the phone with the menu on the screen . you can pause at any moment by hitting any key . it remembers where you are and can do fast forward or rewind .
there are some obvious problems , such as whether you need to keep the screen lit up all the time to read , which would be rather heavy on the battery , but otherwise there is no reason why this should not be a breakthrough in the use of mobile phones .
you can , of course , already download novels , plays and poetry as audio books to your ipod or phone . this is very much a niche market and hasn ' t caught on in a big way . the same may happen to phone text books . everything will depend on consumer reaction . but a lot of people who don ' t want to carry a book with them all the time on the offchance they may have some free time to read it might be attracted by having one on their phones that they can return to at odd moments .

welcome to the website for the industrial and commercial use of energy conference to be held in cape town from the 13 to 15 august 2018 .
please use the following template . the evaluation criteria are listed in the paper template document , which can be found here .
the copyright transfer form can be found on the submissions page in both docx and pdf formats .
naui is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive and safest diver training available in the world . “dive safety through education” is more than just a motto ; it’s how naui professionals combine safety and fun into an adventure for a lifetime .
the best divers in the world are naui divers ! whether you are just starting your underwater adventure or are a seasoned explorer , connect here to join the community of naui divers .
since the beginning of scuba , naui professionals have led the way in every major development in the sport . more than any other group of professional educators , naui leaders have defined the trends in diving and inspire the future .
are you ready to share your knowledge and skills with others ? naui leaders are recognized worldwide for their exceptional skills and expertise . be a leader , be naui !
naui dive centers and dive destinations are recognized as operations of excellence for diver training and safety . naui affiliates enjoy the benefits of a member - driven system of products and support designed to help your business succeed .
connect with the naui community to learn more about the oceans and opportunities for exploring them around the world .
the overall purpose of the conferences was “making diving safer . ” each iq lasted several days and were filled with presentations and seminars on all aspects of diving and the business of diving : the latest ideas and developments in educational theory and practice , diving sciences , equipment improvements , diving medicine , retailing and travel . each year’s abstracts and papers were published in a volume of iq proceedings .
papers on topics such as emergency skills , first aid , teaching techniques , team teaching , physics and physiology , younger students and special - needs students , store / instructor ties , specialty diving ( cave , ice , wreck , etc . ) and diving hobbies were solicited and welcomed . in other words , the same areas that concerned them in the 1970s concern us today .
historically , this event was regarded as the best educational experience available in the international diving community . the exhibit halls were always filled with booths displaying the wares and offerings of equipment manufacturers , retailers , travel vendors and resorts . an underwater photography contest and exhibit was always a popular attraction .
when the annual dema show began in the late 1970s , it started to siphon off some of the attendance at iq . it was difficult for most people to afford the time and expense to attend two such major events each year . the last iq was held in 2000 and was sponsored by naui asia pacific in kuala lumpur .
today , scuba is again in a period of change . new challenges to maintaining and growing the popularity of our sport , changing methods and approaches to teaching and learning , new frontiers in diving technology and techniques , including development and popularization of specialty diving fields , new marketing techniques and the use of media options need the attention of all of us .
for all these reasons , naui is revisiting and bringing back iq with two days of presentations and seminars to be held in conjunction with the 2018 scuba show in long beach , california .
stay tuned for updates on special events and making arrangements to attend . for event location details ,
as part of this year’s program , we have several events that will recognize the legacy and contributions made to scuba diving by lloyd bridges and the cast of sea hunt in honor of the show’s 60 th anniversary year .
memorabilia that fills the restaurant . see bottom page section for details on door prizes and silent auctions .
california’s nelson’s restaurant is named in honor of mike nelson , the hero from the ‘sea hunt’ tv series ( 1958 - 61 ) . the adventure show captivated audiences with the vast pacific ocean coastline serving as one of sea hunt’s filming locations . just north of los angeles , at the former marineland of the pacific and now terranea resort , nelson’s is situated near the bluff overlooking the craggy coast . the restaurant’s walls have entertaining posters from many of the episodes , all action - packed with the legendary mike nelson as the champion . click here to reserve your seat at the sea hunt table !
seating is limited and registration is required . for additional event and payment details , contact shannon mccoy at + 1 813 - 628 - 6284 .
) . the party also serves as a fundraiser for “no kid hungry , ” one of bridges’ favorite charities .
zale parry began scuba diving in the 1950s . in 1954 , she set a deep diving record of 64 meters ( 209 feet ) . she attended the los angeles county underwater instructor certification course in 1955 and graduated as its third female instructor . in 1961 , she became a naui member as naui a12 .
in the television series kingdom of the sea ( 1954 - 1959 ) , she starred as a diver and presented a concluding segment of each show on diving safety . in sea hunt ( 1958 - 1961 ) , parry was co - star with lloyd bridges in several episodes , a stunt double and a technical director . ( she also taught bridges how to dive . )
her many recognitions include the nogi award ( 1973 ) , dema reaching out award ( 1993 ) , women divers hall of fame ( 2000 ) , naui hall of honor ( 2000 ) , naui ambassador of scuba diving award ( 2010 ) and naui lifetime achievement award ( 2017 ) . in 2006 , the academy of underwater arts and sciences honored her by creating a scholarship in her name . the zale parry scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding young diver who is enrolled in an academic program or engaged in accredited fieldwork in undersea exploration , marine conservation , hyperbaric medical research or equipment technology . the scholarship’s goal is to encourage and enable future generations of divers to carry on her legacy .
i did not do a sea hunt adventure with my father the week it was scheduled . i came down with a cold ! mom wouldn’t let me go seeing as i was 6 years old , and of course , the episode involved being trapped somewhere in the ocean . i did however have the joy of working with my father in other television series : the lloyd bridges show and the loner .
we also spent time in summer theater back east . while i enjoyed acting , i chose the ' family route ' of homemaker , having three children . they’re now all grown up . my brothers and i were christened at the edge of the ocean so to speak , rolling in the surf with our parents .
we still have a family beach house in malibu . we’ve had it since 1959 when there were only about 10 homes from point to point . the visibility was beautiful back then . i still live in malibu , up in the mountains , and enjoy traveling ( especially to islands ! ) , making art , and keeping up with helping our planet during these challenging times .

bechtel jacobs company llc is a limited liability company owned by bechtel and jacobs engineering group that served as the primary contractor to the u.s. department of energy ( doe ) for waste management and environmental remediation activities on doe-managed federal government properties in oak ridge , tennessee .

bechtel jacobs was established as the environmental management contractor for doe 's oak ridge operations ( including sites in paducah , kentucky and piketon , ohio , in addition to oak ridge ) in 1997 , when a $ 2.5 billion management and integration contract was issued to the company .

in 2003 bechtel jacobs was awarded a new 5-year cost-plus-incentive-fee contract with an estimated value of $ 1.8 billion .

bechtel jacobs was replaced as the environmental remediation contractor for the portsmouth gaseous diffusion plant site in piketon in 2005 , after doe awarded a new contract to lata/parallax portsmouth , llc , a joint small business venture of los alamos technical associates ( lata ) and parallax , inc . bechtel jacobs involvement at the paducah gaseous diffusion plant site ended in 2006 after doe entered into a new contract with paducah remediation services llc ( a partnership of shaw environmental and infrastructure and portage environmental ) for environmental management work there .

bechtel jacobs ' role in oak ridge ended in 2011 after the environmental management contract for doe properties there was awarded to ucor , a partnership of urs corporation and ch2m hill .

bechtel jacobs employs 157 people out of its kevil offices and oversees another 400 subcontract workers with various cleanup firms . it was not immediately clear if all the bechtel jacobs workers will move to paducah remediation services , although that largely was the case when bechtel jacobs took over for lockheed martin energy systems in 1998 .
nearly 200 union members do environmental work with bechtel jacobs and subcontract firms . cossler said the union contract has a transition clause for hourly cleanup workers .
how much do bechtel jacobs employees make ? glassdoor has salaries , wages , tips , bonuses , and hourly pay based upon employee reports and estimates .
but protests came from other bidders , including portage and shaw , forcing doe to rebid . bechtel jacobs´ contract was repeatedly extended without explanation as procurement again dragged on .

after two years of procurement delays , the department of energy has awarded a $ 191 . 6 million contract to a firm founded by shaw environmental and infrastructure and portage environmental to do cleanup work at the paducah gaseous diffusion plant .
repeated attempts to reach senior executives of shaw , based in baton rouge , la . , and portage , based in espanola , n . m . , were unsuccessful tuesday .
portage´s web site says michael spry , majority owner and president , is a mississippi band member of the minnesota chippewa tribe . he grew up on the white earth indian reservation in northern minnesota .
portage , classified as a small , disadvantaged business , is the managing partner of the joint venture with shaw , according to doe .
both portage and shaw list extensive cleanup experience , notably with closed doe plants such as in hanford , wash . , and fernald , ohio . shaw , a subsidiary of shaw group , has more than $ 1 billion in annual business .
tuesday´s announcement took plant union officials by surprise . bill cossler , president of united steelworkers 5 - 550 , said he wasn´t aware that a successor had been named .
we´re glad that at long last they´ve named a new contractor and we look forward to working with the new company , ’ he said .
the kentucky congressional delegation has been scrutinizing the elongated paducah contract situation . in the fall , congress passed legislation sponsored by rep . ed whitfield , r - hopkinsville , to protect the pensions and retiree medical benefits of displaced uranium enrichment workers who find jobs with doe cleanup firms .
contract issues are among those slated for a field hearing at 10 a . m . jan . 19 at paducah city hall by whitfield , a senior member of the energy and commerce committee . he said he will conduct the hearing through his role as chairman of the committee´s oversight and investigations subcommittee .
sen . jim bunning , r - southgate , said energy secretary samuel bodman called him tuesday with the contract news .
the contract has been awarded , and now we just need to make sure this work gets done , ’ bunning said . those living and working in and around paducah deserve a better environment for their families . ’
bunning said that if expectations are not met , he would continue using his influence as a member of the senate energy committee to bring accountability to the process and the contract . ’
the committee has oversight over doe , including paducah plant cleanup . bunning has held committee field hearings on plant matters .
john anderson , director of the paducah area community reuse organization , said he was extremely pleased’ that a new contractor was finally named . for the community´s sake i think it´s time to more forward and have something for the workers to be able to plan on , ’ he said .
however , anderson pointed out that the contract award is subject to a grace period to allow other bidders to protest .
anderson´s economic development group wants the energy department to relax a ban on the commercial use of low - level radioactive scrap metal at the plant if it can be fully decontaminated . doe included language about the scrap metal in rebidding the work .
paducah remediation services will oversee cleanup , including a $ 40 million project to extract soil contamination around a plant cleaning building that is the leading source of billions of gallons of groundwater pollution . construction will begin next year , and by 2007 workers are expected to begin heating the ground far below the surface and vacuum out vaporized contamination for carbon - filter treatment .
two pump - and - treat systems on the northeastern and northwestern plant boundaries remove about 16 million gallons of contaminated groundwater a month , and have cleaned up more than a billion gallons . but the systems only remove the highest concentrations of the contamination , which covers much of the area from the plant to the ohio river .
other responsibilities of the new contractor include cleaning up contaminated soil , removing old waste , cleaning up and tearing down closed contaminated buildings and operating plant waste - storage facilities .
