Inside the Reporter's Notebook: The funny side of strategic sourcing; NSTIC turns 3
Monday - 4/28/2014, 4:00am EDT
"Inside the Reporter's Notebook" is a biweekly dispatch of news and information you may have missed or that slipped through the cracks at conferences, hearings and the like.
This is not a column nor commentary — it's news tidbits, strongly sourced buzz, and other items of interest that have happened or are happening in the federal IT and acquisition communities.
As always, I encourage you to submit ideas, suggestions and, of course, news to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Strategic sourcing's humorous side?
Federal procurement is rarely funny. And even more rare is when a government-to-government rebuff becomes public like the ongoing quarrel between the Small Business Administration and bid protestors, and the General Services Administration over the Office Supplies 3 contract.
First a little background: GSA issued the solicitation for version 3 of the Office Supplies strategic sourcing contract (OS3) in January. It was not well received by the contractor community, facing 14 pre-award protests to the Government Accountability Office. As part of the GAO's review of the protests, attorneys asked SBA to analyze GSA's justification for consolidation contracting requirements under OS3. The Small Business Jobs Act requires agencies to perform an analysis on any negative impacts the consolidation would have on small firms, and possible ways to mitigate them.
SBA found GSA didn't perform an appropriate analysis and thus its justification was inadequate.
Here comes the funny part. GSA actually wrote to GAO complaining that one of the protestors was "leaking" information to the public and the press, and then asked GAO to issue a "cease and desist" letter to the protestors. (Check out the full email exchange).
"Protester KPaul filed a protest with GAO and is now asking federal agencies to end their participation in the subject contract/procurement (and another, current GSA contract that is not the subject of this protest) without waiting for a decision from GAO," Kristen Nowadly, assistant regional counsel for GSA wrote to GAO's Katherine Riback. "GSA submits that this correspondence is highly improper during the pendency of this protest."
Jonathan Kang, assistant general counsel for GAO, responded to Nowadly with what many consider a smackdown.
Kang wrote because "there is no protective order for the protests, and thus there are no restrictions on the parties' ability to share documents or information," and "With regard [to] your concern about correspondence by the protesters with other government agencies, this is a matter outside of our jurisdiction. Our rules do not contemplate that we may restrict the ability of parties to a protest to correspond with other government agencies."
Several experts were surprised by GSA's request for a "cease and desist." Basically, GSA wants GAO to stop the bad press it was getting for not doing what's required under the law.
There are no rules against consolidation or bundling, but there are requirements to fulfill, and SBA found GSA didn't meet them.
An increase in contract consolidation and bundling is a rising concern across the government, and SBA's willingness to hold an agency such as GSA accountable is an important footnote to this story.
NSTIC turns 3, patience required
Anyone who has ever taken care of or spent time with a 3-year-old knows the patience that's needed. Sometimes that same approach is needed with government programs.
And then there are times when both are the case as it is for Jeremy Grant. As a father of two young kids and now the dad of the 3-year-old National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), Grant fully knows that sometimes controlling expectations are tough.
Grant blogged April 22 on the 3-year anniversary of NSTIC's release and the progress the effort has made since 2011.
"I'm quite thrilled with what we've been able to do in three years. We've accomplished quite a lot and continue to make lot of progress," he said in an interview. "It is safe to say, and NSTIC isn't the only one that faces this, that there are a lot of expectations from government and the community as a whole when things like this get rolled out."
NSTIC, for those of you who need a refresher, is a White House strategy with the President's signature detailing a vision and four principles along with short and long-term goals to move the government and industry at-large away from using usernames and passwords and to strong identity management processes.
After three years, it makes sense to ask what is going on. Anytime the White House puts its muscle behind a program, vendors want contracts and agencies want to see benefits.
Grant said contracts are more in the form of pilot programs, funded at about $16.5 million, and benefits for agencies are coming.
The latest cyber bug, Heartbleed, and almost every other vulnerability over the last few years that takes advantage of weak usernames and passwords is a reminder of why NSTIC is important.
Grant said these cyber threats show why NSTIC must succeed and is succeeding in changing how the government and industry looks at cybersecurity.
"If anything, through NSTIC, we've helped drive toward a more mature marketplace," he said. "What has been interesting and our real impact often hasn't been noted has been when new things are emerging in the marketplace, they are paying attention to NSTIC. A number of new companies have come in during their product development stage to talk to us about aligning with NSTIC."
Grant points to the Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance, which includes companies like Google, PayPal and eBay, as one example. The organization is incorporating NSTIC standards into their products and services.
I asked Grant whether NSTIC as a strategy needs to be updated or refreshed after three years.
He said it doesn't because the overall vision and goals remain the same — in a nutshell, get rid of usernames and passwords.
"The strategy is still quite sound," he said. "What may be good, and it's something we are considering doing, is a progress report now that we are three years into the effort. We may list five or six things that we, as the federal government, need to redouble our efforts on, and we would assess our progress against strategy."
Grant added NSTIC is on track to meet many of its 5-year goals, and has met most of its 3-year milestones.
One federal program many are watching closely is the Federal Cloud Credential Exchange (FCCX) program. Grant said it's on track to start testing this spring or early summer. Several agencies are on tap to begin running some initial transactions through the federated cloud this year to test out its initial operating capability.
In the past, I've reported FCCX will connect the departments of Agriculture and Veterans Affairs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and GSA with third-party credential providers that meet the Federal Identity Credential and Access Management (FICAM) standards.
Cloud security requirements refreshed
Two interesting and important developments last week around mobile and cloud security — two of the hottest topics in the federal community over the last few years — that feds and contractors need to be aware of.
First, the General Services Administration, the Defense Department and the Homeland Security Department plan to issue the updated baseline for cloud cyber standards under the Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program (FedRAMP) by June 1.
Two things vendors need to know from the update: First, cloud service providers already approved by the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) or by an agency as of June 1 will have one year from their annual assessment to meet the new security requirements.
The second is CSPs approved between June 1, 2014 and Jan. 1, 2015 will have one year from the date of their annual assessment to update their security controls.
"The FedRAMP Program Management Office anticipates that the level of effort will require testing between 140 to 150 controls," the PMO wrote in the transition plan issued April 22. "There are approximately 72 new Rev. 4 controls and 70 core controls for annual testing. The FedRAMP PMO will prioritize and adjust the number of controls required for testing based on the CSPs risk posture."
This gives current cloud service providers and those on the cusp of approval some time before having to go through this intentionally rigorous process again, and before having to spend tens of thousands of dollars without at least some time to recoup the investment through contract awards.
The PMO is accepting comments on the transition plan by May 1.
Keith Trippie, the former DHS executive in charge of cloud and now CEO of the Trippie Group, said ensuring FedRAMP is not static is a good thing, but it may be six to 12 months before the updated controls are operationalized, and that is concerning.
"What I'd like to see more over time in addition to revision 4 is a bigger focus on continuous monitoring and continuous assurance, so there is more transparency on virtual assets," he said in an interview. "The more of that that is incorporated in FedRAMP, the better the cloud providers can secure their networks and agency data. Continuous monitoring and assurance will provide agencies over time more details on what are vulnerabilities, current threats are and how they can maximize their risk management posture where investing money into cyber efforts."
He added FedRAMP needs to go down a risk management approach to avoid being another compliance framework exercise.
In the mobile security area, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released version one of a free, open source mobile app vetting system, named AppVet.
According to the CIO Council website, AppVet is a Web application for vetting mobile apps' cyber risks.
"AppVet is designed to easily and seamlessly integrate with a wide variety of third-party tools, including static and dynamic analyzers, anti-virus scanners, and vulnerability repositories through the specification of simple APIs and requirements," the blog post stated. "AppVet also supports easy and seamless integration with clients, including app stores and continuous integration environments."
AppVet, along with DHS' CarWash process, are two emerging area where agencies need help ensuring mobile apps meet federal cyber, accessibility and interoperability requirements.
Trippie said AppVet gives agencies more choices to ensure mobile apps meet their needs, which is a good thing.
"What I'd like to see is agencies take on the concept of building code and making it available, no matter the size of your screen. So instead of building an app or a mobile app, just build an app that's available on any screen from the beginning," he said. "That's why services like NIST's and the CarWash are important to free up the government to build once available on multiple platforms."
Trippie added the opportunities for NIST and DHS are huge, as is the ability for vendors to bring more value to the government around mobile and application testing.
DoD's Brubaker leaving, Carey, Grams land in the private sector
Rob Carey and Todd Grams found new homes. Paul Brubaker is moving out of government, again, to a new place to think deep thoughts, while his old Clinger-Cohen Act buddy Mark Forman steps back into the fray with a big company.
Let's start with Carey, who retired after 31 years in government, which included stints as the Navy's CIO and the principal deputy CIO for DoD. He will join Computer Sciences Corporation, starting Monday, as its vice president and general manager of public sector cybersecurity. In an email confirming his new role, Carey said "It should be fun and a way to improve national security."
Beyond that, more details will emerge about his role in the coming weeks.
Grams, the former Veterans Affairs Department CFO and most recently IRS chief of staff, found a new home at Deloitte federal as a director.
Grams, who retired after 34 years in January, will focus on enterprise risk management, financial management and performance management strategies.
As an aside, Deloitte is building quite a stable of former and highly well- respected federal executives starting with former Virginia Congressman Tom Davis, DHS undersecretary for management Janet Hale, former OMB executive Tim Young — and that isn't even including a host of former Defense Department generals, admirals and others.
Paul Brubaker, the DoD director of planning and performance management, announced Friday to staff he's leaving for the private sector. His last day at DoD will be May 2, he said in an email to staff obtained by Federal News Radio.
"This was not a decision that was made easily. As some of you know, almost 30 years ago I decided to dedicate my career to making government work better. Over the years I have remained dedicated to my personal mission of improving government efficiency and effectiveness while serving in both the government and the private sector," he wrote. "I have always sought positions where I could help to make a difference. Please know that my decision to change positions at this time remains consistent with my continued desire to play a role in positively transforming government."
Brubaker didn't offer details on his new job, but said it will continue to drive government transformation.
Federal Computer Week first reported Brubaker's decision to leave government.
Forman decided it was time to go back to a large company after running his own business for the last two years, Government Transaction Services with fellow former fed John Marshall.
Forman now is the vice president for IT services and cloud initiatives at TASC, a second stint with the company in some respects, working there TASC from 1985 to 1989 before it was bought by Northrop Grumman and then spun off back to TASC in 2010. In his new role, Forman will help oversee TASC's solutions in cyber, cloud and mobile computing, and data analytics.
IT Job of the Week
Several good ones to choose from this week, but I went with the deputy CIO position at the Executive Office of the President. You'll need a top secret/SCI security clearance, but you'll get to help the President fix his remote control to watch the Bulls lose to the Wizards all kidding aside. It's a plumb White House job in many respects, and focuses on strategy, vision and new media. "The Deputy Chief Information Officer will provide technology vision, operational guidance, and leadership for developing and implementing IT initiatives that create and maintain leadership for the EOP in a constantly changing and politically sensitive organization." Applications are due no later than May 1.
- The Data Transparency Coalition is hosting the Data Transparency Summit on
Tuesday, where I'm hosting two panels. The first is with Dick Ginman, the
chairman of the Government Accountability and Transparency Board (GAT Board),
where he will talk about progress so far and plans for 2014. The second panel is
with industry experts on how the DATA Act, which is expected to be approved by the
House on Monday, will impact vendors.
- The Senate Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing on DoD's acquisition system on Wednesday featuring
undersecretary of acquisition, technology and logistics Frank Kendall and
GAO's Michael Sullivan.
- AFCEA Bethesda will hold its annual Law Enforcement IT day on Thursday featuring a host of speakers, including Mark Borkowski, the assistant commissioner of the Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition in DHS' Customs and Border Protection, and TJ Kennedy, deputy general manager of FirstNet.

Join us in supporting The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, introduced in Congress yesterday by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This vital legislation will stop the transport of American horses to slaughter in Mexico and Canada, as well as permanently prevent it from occurring here in the United States. Please ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill and help usher it to passage!
We've known for years that horse slaughter is an exceptionally cruel practice—whether it happens in the U.S. or elsewhere. Due to their biology and their psychology, horses cannot be slaughtered in a commercial setting without tremendous suffering and fear.
We also know that horse meat is not even safe to eat! Horses are fed de-wormers and other toxic drugs that can cause terrible reactions—including death—in people who eat their tainted meat. Consumers in the E.U. are just discovering the dangers they have unwittingly been exposed to, and the scandal grows daily.
In spite of this mountain of damning evidence, the USDA is currently processing an application for a horse slaughter operation here in the United States. Roswell, New Mexico, may soon become ground zero for horse suffering.
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act. This bill will stop the pain and the suffering of equines caught up in this grisly business. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to take action now to urge your U.S. senators and representative to cosponsor the SAFE Act.
Horses are being shipped overseas in the most inhumane conditions to be slaughtered for dog food and Godknows what else! Also wild horses are being killed because they are considered a nuisance.
That is awesome! I read about how they slaughter horses in Mexico and I couldn't sleep for a week! We as people , as humans cannot condone the way this occurs! So inhumanly slaughtered. It's awful they eat and breathe as we do, feel as we do. There has to be a better way to slaughter, and not just horses any animal.
Save these beautiful creatures. We don't want or need horse meat! We are the great USA....not some third world country or Europe or anyone else. PLEASE STOP THIS SENSELESS KILLING NOW!!!
IS ANYONE THAT HUNGRY?????? Call me and I will feed you and save the horses!!!!!
Stop the slaughter of the horses!
They are too expensive for many people, and one would hope that they would be euthanized quickly and kindly, by gunshot or injection. Sending off to auction is sending them to kill buyers most likely. Why do that to an animal, often after a lifetime of service? Bottom line,slaughterhouses are not for horses.
Honestly I wouldn't be against it if they weren't killed so horrificly. If people like horse meat so be it. But when you stab them in the head multiple times until their dead, or shoot them with a nail gun. Uhh no. I have a horse if very connected with and i love her more than anything and I still am agreeing with it as long as they do it humainly.!.!.!.

High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease
High blood pressure and kidney disease facts

Introduction to high blood pressure and kidney disease
Reader Stories
The kidneys play a key role in keeping a person's blood pressure in a healthy range, and blood pressure, in turn, can affect the health of the kidneys. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, can damage the kidneys and lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
What is high blood pressure?
Blood pressure measures the force of blood against the walls of the blood vessels. Extra fluid in the body increases the amount of fluid in blood vessels and makes blood pressure higher. Narrow, stiff, or clogged blood vessels also raise blood pressure.
People with high blood pressure should see their doctor regularly.

Buckley Nets Career-High Six Goals as Men's Lacrosse Doubles Up Tars 18-9
April 3, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Reserve midfielder Tom Buckley (Edmonton, Alberta) slammed home a game and career-high six goals as Pfeiffer University doubled up Rollins College 18-9 in non-conference mens lacrosse action on Sunday afternoon. The Falcons move to 9-3 overall with the win while the Tars drop their third-straight falling to 2-10.
Buckley started his day by scoring two of the first three goals on the afternoon at 12:18 and 7:10 of the first period. Kory Lutes (Orlando, FL) sandwiched one of his three strikes in between. Rollins got on the board six seconds after Buckleys second goal as Peter Harvey (Princeton, NJ) won the faceoff and went the distance. After Nick Berkompas (Webster, NY) and Robert Hope (Peterborough, Ontario) went back-to-back, Nick Scannapieco (Lower Gwynedd, PA) registered his goal for the day at the 4:50 mark of the first. Justin Rose (Rochester, NY) and Buckley would each hit before the end of the quarter as would the Tars Harvey for a 7-3 Falcon lead through one.
Pfeiffer created separation for the rest of the afternoon by scoring seven-straight in the second while holding Rollins to just one. Tim Kleehammer (Rochester, NY) and Lutes would each tally a pair of second quarter goals for the Falcons while Berkompas, Buckley and Elliot Gilbert (Corning, NY) each added one. The first half ended with a goal from Rollins Austin Ricci (Winter Park, FL) who led the Tars with four on the day.
Ricci would hit first in the second half just 1:13 into the third while Buckley hit again just under three minutes later. A pair of man-up goals from Charlie Shelly (New York, NY) and Ricci would slice the Rollins deficit down to 15-7, but each team would trade goals in the final 30 seconds with Gilbert and Ricci scoring for their respective clubs.
Three fourth quarter goals on the backside of the frame would finish out scoring for the day as Berkompas notched his third with 2:52 remaining while Buckley registered his sixth at the 1:51 mark. Rollins Jackson Ryland (Woodbridge, VA) would conclude goal scoring with 28 ticks left.
Pfeiffer led the Tars 41-28 in shots while the visitors corralled 19 of the 32 face-offs. Turnovers were key for Rollins on Sunday as they committed 20 to Pfeiffers 14.
Anthony Lamarca (Sayville, NY) and Mike Triolo (Toronto, Ontario) each had five groundballs for Pfeiffer while Triolo and Zac Clark (Corning, NY) each had a pair of caused turnovers. Harvey led the Tars with a game-high 10 groundballs while Shelly forced six Falcon turnovers. Pfeiffers Hayden Kirk (Farmingdale, NY) earned the win in net stopping six first half shots. TJ Connors (Hampstead, MD) turned aside one shot in the second half.
Pfeiffer returns to action at home on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. The Falcons will host the number-one ranked team in the country and Conference Carolinas, Limestone, at N.E. Lefko Field. Live stats will be available through www.gofalconsports.com.

[quote author="SkepticX"][quote author="Bruce Burleson"]You and all your other CIA buddies on this forum need to get back up in your space ship and stop watching me. I have my laser protection gear on, so you can't control me. YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!!!
Funny, rolling with it and all, and I appreciate your sense of humor and your general demeanor (we've throw some hard balls at you for sure), but what about the implications of the fact that religious belief is indistinguishable from psychosis other than for the fact that religious beliefs are more popular? Doesn't that tell you (or at least suggest) something?
Yeah, it tells me that you need to refine your definition of psychosis. Psychosis is a mental illness that markedly interferes with a person's capacity to meet life's daily demands. That excludes most Christians, who get along just fine. In fact, the next person who will run this country, whatever party or ideology he/she belongs to/believes, will be a Christian. So work on your definition a little - it should exclude believers who have no problem whatsoever meeting life's daily demands. You can't just define us into mental institutions, as much as you and your other CIA buddies would like.

A Pledge of Nonviolence
1. As you prepare to march, meditate on the life and teachings of Jesus.
2. Remember the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation—not victory.
3. Walk and talk in the manner of love; for God is love.

Diabetes: Tests to Watch for Complications
Diabetes: Tests to Watch for Complications
Topic Overview
The table below summarizes the tests that can be done to identify complications from diabetes, including those tests done during a physical exam. The physical exam evaluates your overall health. The doctor pays special attention to your eyes, blood vessels, heart, lungs, nerves, abdomen, and feet. Tests range from taking your blood pressure to drawing blood to test your cholesterol or kidney function.
Organ or condition
What it shows
Target level
High blood sugar
Every 3 to 6 months, have a hemoglobin A1c test.
How steady your blood sugar levels have been over time
Less than 7% for most nonpregnant adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and children with type 2 diabetes
Less than 7.5% for teens 13 to 19 years old with type 1 diabetes
Less than 8% for children 6 to 12 years old with type 1 diabetes
Less than 8.5% for children younger than 6 years of age with type 1 diabetes
High cholesterol
Every year, get your LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels checked.
The amount of fat in your blood, which can raise your risk of heart attack and stroke
LDL less than 100 mg/dL (if you have heart disease, your doctor might recommend keeping it at 70 mg/dL)
HDL more than 40 mg/dL in men and more than 50 mg/dL in women
Triglycerides less than 150 mg/dL
High blood pressure
Every 3 to 6 months when you visit your doctor, have your blood pressure checked. If you don't see your doctor that often, at least have your blood pressure checked once a year.
Pressure of blood flow in your arteries
Less than 120/80 for most people
High blood pressure is 140/80 or higher
In between these two levels is called prehypertension
Every year, get a random urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) test that checks for microalbumin, or small amounts of protein. If you have a high ACR or protein in your urine, it is a sign of kidney damage.
Every year, get a blood test for creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
Whether kidney disease is developing
The stage of kidney disease, if you already have it
Less than 30 mg/g of protein in your urine
eGFR greater than 60 mL/min
Every year, visit an ophthalmologist or an optometrist for a dilated eye exam (ophthalmoscopy). Some doctors may recommend less frequent eye exams if you have no signs of diabetic retinopathy.
Whether retinopathy (damage to back of the eye) has developed
No retinal damage
Every 3 to 6 months when you visit your doctor, take off your socks so you will both remember to check your feet. Once a year, get a more thorough examination of your feet. This is also known as a complete foot exam.
Whether foot ulcers have developed
Whether the person has lost any sensation
No foot ulcers or loss of sensation
Twice a year, have a dental exam.
Gum disease
Healthy gums and teeth
If you have high cholesterol, or if you are a woman over 50 years old, your doctor may recommend a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test.
Thyroid disease
Normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level
Your doctor may recommend a liver function blood test, especially if you are taking a medicine that could affect your liver.
Liver disease
Normal liver function test

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A man who fatally shot a Petersburg man outside a Richmond nightclub will spend 20 years in prison.
Media outlets report a Richmond Circuit Court judge sentenced 23-year-old Kevin Cunningham Tuesday to 43 years with 23 suspended in the fatal shooting of Jeremy Uzzle outside Have a Nice Day Cafe in 2010.
Cunningham pleaded no contest in October to second-degree murder and a related firearm charge.
He was convicted of the same charges in 2010, but an appeals court reversed the convictions because prosecutors used evidence that he had illegally purchased the gun used in the crime.
Cunningham testified then that he shot Uzzle in self-defense because he feared for his life. Prosecutors argued he did it out of revenge for a beating earlier that day.

|Ogilvy & Mather
|The Membership Effect
|American Express
|American Express
|Subscribers Only
|Television & Cinema
"We sell. Or else."
These words of David Ogilvy sound simple, but are deeply meaningful to us. David began the agency in 1948 and built Ogilvy & Mather into one of the most legendary branding companies in the world. Underpinning this is the philosophy of "divine discontent" — the simple belief that in order to be creative one must be permanently dissatisfied and always seeking to be better than good.
Our Business Model
We believe that our full range of services on a global scale are a unique strength. Earlier than others (as early as the 1980s), we diversified away from the advertising discipline alone. Our core disciplines of advertising, direct marketing, public relations and activation have therefore developed in depth as well as in breadth. Each of our disciplines is best-in-class and provides not just integrated execution (which can be superficial) but integrated thinking. The disciplines live within a tightly defined matrix "country system" with shared resources and a common P&L, but enough separation to ensure specialist excellence. Years of working together in cross-discipline teams means that we are probably the only agency in the world that integrates as a matter of habit, with real depth, wherever we operate.
Digital Dominance
We believe we are the most digital of the major networks. We have nearly 4,000 digital specialists around the world. Our point of view about digital is that it is not a silo apart or a "pure play" but something which is transforming all the disciplines in which we operate. Digital is therefore embedded at Ogilvy. We have undertaken in the last few years an aggressive plan to digitalize the agency. This manifests itself in cross-company practices, ranging from social to e-commerce, from mobile to data-driven creativity. A Digital Council in the agency is chaired by Global CEO Miles Young, and the digital agenda's represented by our Chief Digital Officer, Brandon Berger.
Founder Culture
Finally, we have an especially strong agency culture no matter which Ogilvy office around the world you are in. The values and principles of our company were laid down by David Ogilvy when he founded the company at age 36, and his spirit imbues the company as strongly today as it did then. The critical point about their values is that they are strongly humanistic; the people who work here should be cared for, and they should behave with honesty and good manners.
NEW YORK, May 11, 2015 - Public speaker, social activist and Vanity Fair contributor Monica Lewinsky is to deliver the fifth annual Ogilvy & Mather Inspire lecture at this year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on Thursday 25th June at 2.00pm. Monica will speak at a historic time, just when Cannes is introducing the "Glass Lion" award – given for work which celebrates gender equality. She will be introduced by Tham Khai Meng, Ogilvy & Mather's Worldwide Chief Creative Officer.
Monica is determined to fight the global empathy crisis currently engulfing online media. As "patient zero" of this crisis, Monica is well placed to build awareness of our dangerous compassion deficit. The media maelstrom of online harassment she encountered 17 years ago, when she was just 24, gives her a unique, fascinating insight into this controversial issue.
This landmark speech builds on Monica's two recent, high profile appearances for TED and Forbes, as well as an acclaimed article for Vanity Fair called "Shame and Survival," which broke her self-imposed silence in the media. In these media debuts, she talked candidly about how online victimisation can lead to suicidal ideation and how advertisers need to take responsibility for the role they are currently playing in creating future pop culture.
Monica will ask the industry some challenging, sometimes-uncomfortable questions about the social media environment that is emerging and that it has a hand in shaping. She will urge the audience to be a force for building a more compassionate, empathetic online society.
Ogilvy & Mather is delighted to support her courageous campaign and amplify her message, which fits with our long-standing commitment to encourage a more inclusive society. The agency urges business in particular to embrace diversity, tolerance, and compassion and reject the social shaming of individuals.
Tham Khai Meng, Worldwide Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy & Mather, said: "Monica Lewinsky is an eloquent, courageous and highly intelligent woman as evidenced by her recent TED Talk "The Price of Shame," which has had over 5 million views to date. As the living embodiment of what can happen when a human being is dehumanised online by virtual stone throwers, she moves the important topic of cyberbullying center stage. We are proud to support Monica in her mission to stamp out online harassment. We believe businesses like ours can play an important role in getting her inspiring messages out to create a more compassionate, empathetic society."
Monica Lewinsky added: "I am honored and grateful for the opportunity that Ogilvy & Mather has given me to speak out on this issue to an extraordinary audience of those who can effect change. We need a cultural revolution on this matter. Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop, and it's time for an intervention on the Internet and in our culture."
Previous Ogilvy & Inspire speakers have included astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson; philosopher and author, Alain de Botton; architect, Rem Koolhaas; and international advisor on education, Sir Kenneth Robinson.

The GPars project offers Java developers intuitive and safe ways to handle Java or Groovy tasks concurrently. Leveraging the enormous flexibility of the Groovy programing language and building on proven Java technologies, we aim to make concurrent programming for multi-core hardware intuitive, robust and enjoyable.
GPars - 'coz concurrency is Groovy
The traditional thread-based concurrency model built into Java doesn't match well with the natural human sense for parallelism. While this was not a problem at times, when the level of parallelism in software was low and concurrency offered only limited benefits compared to sequential code, nowadays, with the number of cores on a single main-stream chip doubling almost every year, sequential code quickly looses ground and fails to compete in performance and hardware utilization with concurrent code.
Inevitably, for concurrent programming to be effective, the mental models of concurrent systems interactions that people create in their heads have to respect the nature of human brains more than the wires on the chips. Luckily, such abstractions have been around for several decades, used at universities, in telephone switches, the super-computing industry and some other inherently concurrent domains. The current challenge for GPars is to bring these abstractions up to the mainstream software developers to help us solve our practical daily issues.
The framework provides straightforward Java or Groovy-based APIs to declare, which parts of the code should be performed in parallel. Collections can have their elements processed concurrently, closures can be turned into composable asynchronous functions and run in the background on your behalf, mutable data can be protected by agents or software transactional memory.
For the common scenario that one or multiple results are calculated concurrently but need to be processed as soon as they are available, GPars makes it a breeze to correctly model this with Dataflow. Dataflow variables and channels gives you a handy abstraction of single-assignment multiple-read data elements, while dataflow operators let you build efficient concurrent data-processing networks.
The concept of Actors as an approach to organizing concurrent activities has recently gained new popularity (thanks to the Scala, Erlang, and other programming languages). GPars implements this concept for Java and Groovy developers. With actors support you can quickly create several independent Actors, which consume messages passed to them and communicate with other actors by sending them messages. You then build your solution by combining these actors into a communication network.
Please refer to the User Guide for a more extensive coverage of these topics or head over to the Demos.
Let the fun begin!
Main Areas
- Concurrent collection processing
- Composable asynchronous functions
- Fork/Join abstraction

NUEVOLAREDO, Mexico - The U.S. Consulate office in Nuevo Laredo is warning Americans about a recent spike in violence in the Mexican border city.
"Grenade detonations and gunfire occurred behind Crowne Plaza and Leandro Valle at 7:20pm, the Consulate said via Twitter. "Avoid area and maintain a low profile."
It s the latest clash between the Gulf Cartel and Zetas for control of the lucrative smuggling route to the I-35 Corridor.
At least seven people were killed in the recent week, including three U.S. citizens who live in the border area, according to officials. There are also reports of torched homes.
This is the latest flare up of violence in an area that is the home base for the Zetas. The group worked as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel before breaking away a few years ago. Authorities are bracing for more violence this weekend.
News about the violence is limited in Nuevo Laredo, where local media has been threatened into silence. Cartels have killed journalists who report on incidents, shoot video or photos at crime scenes.
The violence may be a topic of discussion on Facebook when the U.S. Consul General of Nuevo Laredo holds his regularly scheduled "Ask the consul" session Friday afternoon. The questions usually are about visas.
Before the drug war, the border city was a favorite tourist destination for Texans who would visit Nuevo Laredo to shop, dine and buy lower cost prescription drugs.

What would a second term for President Obama mean for feds?
Tuesday - 9/4/2012, 3:58pm EDT
By Lisa Wolfe
Program director
(Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Dan Blair, President of the National Academy of Public Administration.)
What the Obama administration hopes to accomplish in a potential second term rests on three factors: Making sure it has the right people in place to devise and communicate the best strategy possible and who also have the skill and the will to see it through; employing the most relevant technology tactics to accomplish the goals and committing the funding resources necessary for both.
In part 5 of Federal News Radio's special week-long multimedia series, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the last Four Years, we focus on what feds can expect from four more years of President Obama in the White House.
Should President Barack Obama win a second term, expect more pressure on applying people and technology to save money.
The White House says it intends "to realistically estimate program costs, provide budget stability for the programs we initiate, adequately staff the government acquisition team, and provide disciplined and effective oversight." Current initiatives such as strategic sourcing; reducing improper payments; cutting waste, fraud and abuse; energy sustainability efforts and acquisition reform will continue and possibly expand.
Linda Bilmes, Daniel Patrick Moynihan Senior Lecturer in Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School of Government
Linda Bilmes, the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, adds another idea to save money — managerial accounting. Bilmes said managerial accounting takes into consideration not only actual cost of a procured item, such as a jet engine, but also all of the various costs associated with the vetting, legal, selection, monitoring, award and post-contract auditing processes. She said it could add 20 percent to 60 percent to the cost of the contract.
She said this priority for the next administration, specifically in the Defense Department, will be important.
The Defense Business Board estimates overhead when broadly defined makes up roughly 40 percent of the DoD's budget. But Bilmes said, "there are no tools to prove this is true."
"It's a fairly heavy slog and a cultural shift in mindset to institute managerial accounting," she said, adding since "we don't have basic tools to understand where the money is spent, you can't cut fat or duplication or overhead if you don't know where money goes ... and you can't shrink administrative functions."
"The net effect is DoD is at its highest funding level since World War II, but with fewer resources and products to show for it," Bilmes said.
Look for the administration to continue to utilize the federal workforce and technology to create efficiencies, streamline processes and create openness.
Expect the administration to push agencies harder to comply with the standardized metrics for performance management. Also, an open and transparent government is here to stay.
The White House says agencies should "go beyond mere management of information technology projects and focus in addition on making sure they get the highest return on investments in information technology; being transparent and accountable for the status of projects on Federal websites such as the IT Dashboard; and ensuring the security of electronic information."
A focus on data
A second term for the President means a similar focus on agencies providing data to an increasing number of dashboards and, among other things, continuing to share electronic health records between the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments.
Additionally, agencies will see ongoing efforts to reduce backlogs in security clearances, retirement applications and veterans benefits claims.
This is another area Bilmes sees for an administration focus in the next term.
"The [veterans claims] backlog has grown much longer over last few years despite the fact that administration has done everything humanly possible to make the current system work," she said. "Veteran Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and Deputy Secretary Scott Gould are top-rate talent, but despite hiring and training more claims adjudication people and fixing IT problems, the backlog gets longer because the system itself is antiquated and vastly over complicated."
Bilmes said VA should approve all of the standard claims from new veterans upfront and then audit them later.
A second Obama term could also mean dedicating people and technology to create a motivated and engaged civil service.
A streamlined federal hiring process will help in the commitment to develop contract specialists and cybersecurity experts. Efforts to increase the number of students, recent graduates, veterans and people with disabilities in federal careers will not ebb, nor will pursuing a reformed Senior Executive Service or the aggressive telework initiatives.
Money allocated will dictate priorities
Whatever priorities the White House decides for a second term will be dictated by the money allocated to accomplish them. Sequester or alternative spending cuts would have an effect on the range and scope of initiatives.
Dan Blair, president, Dan Blair, National Academy of Public Administration
"Over the next four years the budget will likely drive policy rather than policy driving budget," said Dan Blair, president of the National Academy of Public Administration. In July, NAPA and the American Society for Public Administration jointly issued several memos to incoming national leaders that recommends actions on how to strengthen the federal budget process. Among them:
- enacting a joint budget resolution annually that includes medium- and long-term targets for the debt and budget savings to reach the targets
- enforcing Presidential accountability by requiring an annual fall address on the fiscal outlook and how his budget addresses it
- prohibiting use of Continuing Resolutions to delay appropriations.
Blair, who was deputy director of the Office of Personnel Management during President George W. Bush's second term in office, said if President Obama is re-elected "the atmosphere will be different." Blair envisions "opportunities for bipartisanship" in an Obama second term. Based on his experience, Blair said, "The two most productive years in the Bush Administration were the two years after his re-election."
A second term for an incumbent also brings opportunities to refine management goals and push for more progress. "The first four years with the Bush administration, there was an emphasis on implementation," Blair said. OMB rolled out the President's Management agenda in Bush's first term. "During the second term, OMB raised the bar on agency expectations."
Whatever the idea, the crafty use of both human and technology solutions are common threads sewn into the fabric of administration goals. Acknowledging the impending budgetary constraints, the White House will be finding ways to ensure these threads are pulled through in the next four years.

I agree that Michael Jackson was adorable and very talented when he was a child, and he was attractive around the middle of his career Some found him fascinating . Most people seem to agree with that. Then as he aproached middle age he began to change radicaly. He went from chocolate brown to clown white. There seems to be a very contrasting opinion as to why he did this to himself. Some are actually offended at the sugestion than he must have been trying to look white; (that is , he wanted to look caucasion ., not just painted ) All this we know, but nobody seems to agree about WHY his change was so extreme and just what drove him to do that. He seemed to have it all-looks, fame, money; why would he ruin himself ? He turned from fabulous to freakish . I blame the plastic-surgens to some extent; they should have known better than to make his nose look like it had been put in a vice.
Btw, I wish they'd talk about something else in the news. I wanted to find out what was happening in Iran , but now we will be subjected to the boy-child and every move he ever made on stage for two more weeks. Sanford was bad enough .

What is the difference between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics?
Statistical Mechanics is the theory of the physical behaviour of macroscopic systems starting from a knowledge of the microscopic forces between the constituent particles.
The theory of the relations between various macroscopic observables such as temperature, volume, pressure, magnetization and polarization of a system is called thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics is an older theory that has studied work, energy, temperature, entropy and related concepts (including volume, pressure, polarization etc.) as continuous quantities describing continuous material objects. It was based on several principles - such as the conservation of energy and the growth of entropy - that prevent one from constructing perpetuum mobile gadgets.
Statistical mechanics is a newer theory that appreciates the atomic structure of the matter. Energy and entropy are distributed among the atoms and the temperature measures the average energy per one atom (or degree of freedom). Statistical mechanics allows one to derive the older laws and principles of thermodynamics by applying statistical methods on dynamics of a large number of atoms and molecules. For a particular model of a material, it even allows one to determine the material constants.
The point of contact between the two disciplines is taken to be the function for Entropy S which is a function of the thermodynamic variables $S=S(U, V, N_i)$ etc, with U being internal energy, V volume. Sometimes this is inverted as: $U=U(S,V,N)$
From a Thermodynamics perspective equations for temperature and other relations can be established by taking derivatives of S or U wrt the variables.
Statistical Mechanics aims to derive S explicitly as a function $S = k \Sigma f_i ln f_i$ where $f_i$ is a possible microstate. The totality of these microstates, and their associated energy, is determined from a partition function.
Both subjects can diverge from here too. Thermodynamic equations met in courses generally refer to equilibrium conditions. Many systems are in non-equilibrium and some thermodynamic theories try to explain this condition and how it changes. Some might argue that the regular thermodynamic concepts like Entropy are not even well defined far from equilibrium.
Statistical Mechanics would differentiate between "classical" systems and various types of "quantum systems" - which have different partition functions and energy behaviour. Thermodynamics is thus often viewed as a limiting classical theory (like Newtonian mechanics), but some Thermodynamic concepts (like Chemical Potential and Temperature) find themselves in quantum partition functions of Statistical Mechanics. In addition Entropy and Temperature are associated with Black Holes for reasons that dont currently translate into Statistical Mechanics.
Thermodynamics is the study of thermal and mechanical properties of equilibrium states of macroscopic systems, using the empirical laws of thermodynamics.
Statistical mechanics uses the laws of classical mechanics or the postulates of quantum mechanics, and the principles of statistics to reproduce the thermodynamical properties of macroscopic systems from the microscopical constituents.
Statistical mechanics aims to obtaining expresions for state functions of the systems from microscopic physics.
thermodynamics deals with temperature variations in the systems, where as statistical mechanics deals with classical mechanical theories to solve the system

Graham Henry suggests that it will be some time yet before the New Zealand public forgive Tokoroa-born Quade Cooper for his riling antics.
Born in the small Waikato town, Cooper moved to Brisbane at the age of 14 and progressed through the Queensland ranks. He later represented the Reds and Wallabies, and incited the ire of the Kiwis when he first pushed Richie McCaw in the 2010 Test in Hong Kong and then kneed the All Blacks captain in the head in a 2011 Test played in Brisbane.
New Zealanders have taken exception to his arrogance in the build up to this tournament, with many of the local papers running stories about how Cooper is New Zealand's 'Public Enemy No 1′. At Sunday's World Cup semi-final at Eden Park, the crowd booed the Wallabies No 10 whenever he touched the ball.
Cooper had a poor game, but stayed away from the off-the-ball scuffles. Asked if New Zealand would continue to boo Cooper in future games, Henry intimated that it would be awhile before the public would forgive him for his past transgressions.
'Quade lost a bit of respect for his actions in previous Test matches and he has to earn the right to get that respect back from New Zealand public,' said Henry.
'He kept his nose clean tonight which was good to see, and gained some respect, but it will be a while [before it is fully earned by the New Zealand people].
Cooper and the Wallabies will remain in New Zealand for another week as they prepare for next Friday's third-place play-off against Wales. The match will also be staged at Eden Park. The gifted but erratic flyhalf said he had no regrets after the Wallabies' semi-final loss.
'I hold my head high and know that I've given it my all,' Cooper told reporters. 'Everybody will have their opinions and I'm not going to try and change any perceptions. I am who I am, and I play the way I play, and if you like it or not, that's me.'
He added that he won't be losing any sleep over his perceived status as New Zealand's most hated man. In fact, he believes he will benefit from this experience.
'Everyone getting at me personally, I'm definitely going to be better for it,' he said. 'The way everyone came at me from all angles, whether it be media, the crowd, trying to make a big buzz out of it. I got used to it and I think I'll take a lot of confidence from that.
'So when we play them again, whether it be in a Bledisloe or Super Rugby over here or another World Cup if I'm lucky enough to get that chance, I'm sure I'll be better for it.'
