Federal Drive Show Blog - July 23, 2013
Tuesday - 7/23/2013, 10:52am EDT
This is the Federal Drive show blog. Here you can listen to our interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day, as well as links to other stories and resources we discuss.
Today's Interviews:
Vice President for Policy
Partnership for Public Service
Time off used to be a good thing before the impact of sequestration. Now, federal employees are receiving mandatory time off because they're being furloughed. This is happening across many agencies with employees being furloughed at least once a week. So how is the work completed? For insight, Tom and Emily turned to John Palguta. He is the vice president for Policy at the Partnership for Public Service.
Executive Director
Cause for Action
Taking junkets at government expense and calling them site visits, hiring your wife to a sensitive position in your own office, paying employees to do your homework. Those would be enough to get most any federal manager fired. But what if it's the inspector general whose doing all of that? In this Department of Homeland Security news brief sponsored by CenturyLink, Whistleblowers at DHS allege that's exactly what's going on with acting inspector general Charles Edwards. The group, Cause for Action, obtained a document under the Freedom of Information Act. Its executive director, Dan Epstein, joined Tom and Emily.
The Hill
The passage of time has not diminished opposition to the Affordable Care Act. In fact, the closer the law gets to being fully implemented, the more opponents seem to fight it. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) says he's recruited more than a dozen fellow GOP senators who are willing to shut down the government to stop the health care law from going into effect. The Hill reporter Alex Bolton joined Tom and Emily.
Top government officials from homeland security agencies and industry leaders met for the 2013 Aspen Security Forum. They gathered to discuss cybersecurity, counterterrorism strategies, intelligence and other ways to protect to the U.S. Jane Harman is the director, president and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson Center of International Scholars, and Raj De is the general counsel for the National Security Agency. Together, they discussed the NSA's metadata program.
Leader of Talent and Leadership Practice
McKinsey and Company
Agencies may need to try harder to prepare promising employees for the executive ranks. Global management firm McKinsey and Company and the Partnership for Public Service have released a report. They argue that agencies need a comprehensive strategy to developing leaders into governmentwide assets. Nora Gardner is a partner at McKinsey and Company's DC office, and a leader of their Talent and Leadership practice.
The Small Business Administration is rolling out new rules to help small federal contractors. The latest proposed rule would requires prime contractors to pay their subs on time or tell the government why they did not. The rule also requires contracting officers to monitor what is going on with small businesses working on federal projects as subs. It's part of a series of rules to put the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act into practice. Tom and Emily spoke with Procurement Attorney Joe Petrillo for analysis and also Ken Dodds, director of government contracting at the Small Business Administration.

CBS dominated the prime-time television ratings race last week, despite airing reruns of many of its most popular series.
CBS had each of the three most-watched programs, averaging 11.28 million viewers for its prime-time programming between Jan. 20 and Sunday, according to live-plus-same-day figures released Tuesday by Nielsen.
Fox was second, averaging 6.12 million, followed by NBC, which averaged 5.95 million, and ABC, which averaged 5.44 million.
CBS' coverage of Sunday's 56th annual Grammy Awards was the week's most-watched program, averaging 28.51 million viewers, the second-most for a Grammy ceremony since 1994. "60 Minutes" was second, averaging 14.31 million, and a rerun of "NCIS" was third, averaging 14.2 million.
Reruns of CBS' "NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles," "Blue Bloods"and two episodes of "The Big Bang Theory," were watched by more viewers than any scripted program on a rival network.
Fox's second-place finish was largely the result of the Wednesday and Thursday "American Idol" episodes finishing fourth and sixth for the week. Its next most-watched program was the crime drama "Bones," 28th for the week, averaging 7.49 million viewers.
Third-place NBC's most-watched programs were the Pro Bowl, seventh for the week, averaging 11.38 million, and "The Blacklist,"averaging 8.83 million.
ABC's most-watched programs were "Modern Family," 12th for the week, averaging 9.59 million viewers, the most for any non-CBS scripted program, and "Castle,"15th, averaging 8.96 million.
CBS also finished first among viewers ages 18-49, the group ABC, Fox and NBC target and advertisers covet because it watches less television than average and is harder to reach.
CBS also led among viewers ages 12-17, 18-34 and 25-54.
ABC, CBS and NBC all aired 22 hours of prime-time programming for ratings purposes and Fox 15 hours, 27 minutes.
A&E's "Duck Dynasty" was the most-watched cable program for the second consecutive week, averaging 6.65 million viewers, 38th among all prime-time and broadcast programs.
USA Network was the most-watched cable network, averaging 2.44 million viewers for its prime-time programming. Its three hourlong segments of the professional wrestling program "WWE Raw," finished second, fourth and seventh among the week's cable programs.
The week's most-watched Spanish-language program was the Monday episode of the Univision telenovela "Lo Que La Vida Me Robo," which averaged 4.26 million viewers, 63rd among all prime-time broadcast and cable programs.
As usual, Univision was the most-watched Spanish-language network, averaging 2.89 million viewers. Telemundo was second, averaging 1.37 million, followed by UniMas, which averaged 700,000, Estrella TV, which averaged 220,000, MundoFox, which averaged 120,000, and Azteca America, which averaged 100,000.

Ser ve d a longside sliced tomatoes and buttered toast, it'll feel just like Sunday brunch -- even on a Monday night. To prepare perfect pulled pork, follow th e s e simpl e t ips from the National Pork Board: Introducing the LIGHT way to do sweet -- Domino� Light and C&H� Light Sugar & Stevia Blend RECIPE SPONSORED BY The makers of Domino� Sugar and C &H� Suga r int roduce t he newest product to their family of sweeteners, Domino� Light and C&H� Light. The new Light products are an all-natural blend of pure cane sugar and stevia, with half the calories of sugar. By blending pure cane sugar with naturally sweet stevia, and a natural flavor to enhance the taste, Domino Foods has created a delicious light sweetener w ith no artificial ingredients. The stev ia plant has been used for centuries as a sweetener. Pure cane sugar and zero-ca lorie stev ia come together in Domino� Light and C&H� Light to create the ideal sweetener � a perfect sweet taste and half the calories of sugar. Both brands, Domino� Light and C&H� Light, are available in two package sizes, a 40-count packet box and a 2 lb. re-sealable pouch. The 40-count packet box is convenient for quick, portion control servings for beverages or for sprinkling on fruit or cereal. Individual packets of our sugar and stevia blend are ideal for travel, in offices, or for everyday convenience. Domino� Light and CH� Light packets are a perfect, low-calorie sweetener solution, with only 5 calories per packet. The 2 lb. pouch offers the sweetness equivalent of a 4 lb. bag of sugar and is ideal for baking or for everyday sweetening. The re-sealable pouch makes scooping and storing easy and mess-free. And it's easy to convert your recipes--just replace 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of Domino� or C&H� Light Sugar & Stevia Blend to lighten your recipe by 350 calories. "With most lower-calorie sweetener substitutes, baking success can be limited. Domino� and C&H� Light make baking lower-calorie recipes easier, with better quality and without forgoing taste," states Domino Foods Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Maria Machita. Ms. Machita goes on to explain how Domino Foods created t he unique sweetness of their new product, "We added a natural f lavor to enhance the taste of Domino� and C&H� Light, which ma kes ba ked goods taste so good." Find baking tips plus light and delicious recipes using Domino� Light and C&H� Light, at: dominosugar.com/ light �and� chsugar.com/light The Cuts: The best roasts for preparing pulled pork include the hearty, succulent Boston Blade Roast (also known as the Boston Butt), which comes from the pork shoulder, and the leaner, flavorful pork sirloin roast, from the lower end of the loin. The Temperature: For fall-apart pork, your best tools are patience and indirect heat. If preparing the roast in the oven or on the grill, the ideal "low and slow" preparation calls for temperatures between 250 and 300�F, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours per pound. In a slow cooker, heat pork for 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. The Pull: When finished cooking, remove from heat and let sit, covered in foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. "Pull" or shred meat with two large forks, and place in a large baking dish or pan. Discard any remaining fat, drizzle with sauce if desired, and serve.

does this cable connect to my keyboard that is plugged into my iMac?
- Asked by Brian H from Hoffman Estates
Atlona 6 ft. Mini DisplayPort and USB M/F Extension Cable
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
If you're going to extend the cord from your keyboard that is going to connect t your iMac, yes it does as it's got a Male USB on one end (which connects to the USB port on your iMac) and Female USB on the other end (which you can connect any male USB such as your keyboards'...).
I'm pretty sure that you know about the MDP portion of it... Let me know if there are any questions left.

What Advice Would You Give Heidi?
by DearSugar
Like us on Facebook
If you shake your head during Heidi and Spencer's scenes on The Hills, I can assure you that you're not alone. Though I'm pretty certain most of their antics are just for show, knowing that these two are together in real life makes me more than concerned. Is it just me or do they seem not to even like each other? Clearly they are both attracted to the drama of it all, but their constant bickering must be exhausting, not to mention annoying to be around. Since we all know that love can be blinding, tell me what advice you would give Heidi if you had the chance to knock some sense into her — or the character she plays?
Spencer Pratt
The Hills
Heidi Montag
JaimeLeah526 6 years
I don't really care for either of them because they are all over the press for no reason. I think that she should get out of the relationship just for the simple fact that he always wants to change her instead of being with the person she already is.
Mykie7 6 years
Okay, I think this whole show the two of them put on is an act, and that they have to be really great actors because no one is really this inane and stupid, are they? I mean, I'm hoping that they're really deep and complicated individuals when the cameras aren't on, because if not it doesn't say much for the American education system that two morons like this can be successful. If in fact it's not an act, I'm with whoever said "Die in a fire" That'd be my advice.
pitip 6 years
Also I dont know what they are smiling about, everybody hates them, maybe because of this they are making lots of money! I wonder if they get $ out of each post we write here???? That should make all of us stop writing about these two! This will definetley be my last!
pitip 6 years
I have no simpathy for her. Everything she gets is all she deserves. She is well aware of her bf's actions and she has even been on TV approving everything he says and making a fool of herself! Like LC once told her she is SAD SAD PERSON.

Kick Spencer the douchebag to the curb. He clearly has her brainwashed! Plus, she's far too young to be in such a committed relationship! Enjoy life first!

i would tell her that this guy doesn't respect her and doesnt care for her, and their relationship is a joke in which they use each other for press and ultimately its unhealthy. i know a lot of young girls watch this show and this "couple" sets a terrible example of how much control and disrespect a girl should expect from her man...

I think its important to maintain a relationship with the girls in ur life even tho u have a man. wow....I am so mad I know enough about these two to actually comment on this thread!

Contexts of educational policy change in Botswana and South Africa

This article examines how different histories and contexts of political and educational change in Botswana and South Africa have shaped the more regular classroom practice observed in Botswana. It does this through an interpretive synthesis and comparison of four key moments of educational change in Botswana and South Africa during the twentieth century, followed by an examination of more recent curriculum and assessment, teacher education, supervision, and evaluation policy in each country. The article highlights differences in decolonization processes and similarities in economic conditions and spending on education. It shows that processes of educational change have been and continue to be marked by the respectively different histories of gradual and incremental change on the one hand, and rapid, disruptive change on the other. And while recent curriculum and assessment policies show convergence with one another, this is less the case with teacher policies and processes.

Cheryl Cole and Kylie's names have been floating around in relation to a The Voice performance for a while now - and even more since they lost this weekend's rating battle with Britain's Got Talent.
The Voice addressed those Cheryl Cole rumours tonight/Rex
And tonight BBC One's The Voice has addressed reports that Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue will be performing on the show. Well sort of.
The Voice's official Twitter account made reference to the rumours - while saying, well, not very much at all *frustrated face*
Tweeting tonight The Voice UK said: "Lots of rumours flying around that certain artists will perform on #TheVoiceUK in the coming weeks, so time to set the record straight..."
Leaving us on tenterhooks, the account then posted: "Certain artists WILL be performing on #TheVoiceUK in the coming weeks. You heard it here first. #voicenews"
So basically nothing said whatsoever. Clever. We see what you did there.
According to reports both Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue are being drafted in to The Voice for the semi-finals on May 26 and final on June 2.
Yahoo! omg! asked will.i.am back at the launch of the show whether there would be guest performers - and whether Cheryl Cole would be one of those performing.
And he told us "if she wants to".
So it seems like it all rests in the hands of Chezza as to whether or not she elbows Simon Cowell in the BGT ribs with a The Voice performance.
The Voice dismissed rumours Jessie J was being axed/Wenn
Meanwhile they also put paid to rumours that Jessie J is facing the axe as a coach, simply tweeting: "In other news, here's our in-depth response to the @JessieJ rumours... ERM NO. #TheVoiceUK"
Well that settles that then.

Assume I'm developing a typical Mac or iOS application using Apple's latest Xcode tools. Further assume that I am primarily developing this application using Objective-C and leveraging all of the relevant APIs from Apple's Cocoa or Cocoa Touch frameworks.
Let's say that I don't currently have any plans to use C++ or Objective-C++ in my code base, but I suspect that some time in the future I might want to sprinkle in a little Objective-C++ here an there.
So I'm considering naming all of my
.m files as
.mm instead, just in case. (This will have the desireable effect of a cleaner history in my SCM system, as I won't have to rename files later.)
Is this a bad idea? Is there any reason why using
.mm files is definitely or significantly worse than using
.m when the file doesn't actually contain any Objective-C++?
Presumably this file extension flips some switch in the compiler which will then have to parse the source code for not only ObjC, but also C++. Does this have a significant negative effect on build times for moderate-to-large code bases?
Does it have any other negative (or positive) effects that I should keep in mind?
NOTE: please do not respond with any comments about whether ObjC or C++ is better. That is not what this question is about.

LAS VEGAS—LAS VEGAS -- Entertainer Danny Gans died accidentally last month because of a toxic reaction to a pain killer, according to the county coroner.
Clark County Coroner Mike Murphy said Tuesday that the 52-year-old Gans' death was not an issue of drug abuse.
Police say Gans was found dead in bed at home in Henderson early May 1 after his wife, Julie, reported she couldn't rouse him.
Gans was a singer, actor and impressionist who spent more than a decade working his way to top billing on the Las Vegas Strip.
Gans' show at the Mirage earned him the title of "Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year" 11 times.
Over the years he had been billed as "The Man of Many Voices".
Gans was once a professional baseball player and even had a small roll in the 1988 baseball movie Bull Durham.
His childhood dream was to play third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Gans is survived by his wife and three children.

A cold storm moving down from the north brought rain overnight to Orange County, with many areas seeing one-third to one-half inch and a few spots pushing close to three-fourths inch.
The rain should continue through the day, with more chances into the evening, the National Weather Service says.
More rain also is possible this weekend.
The rain is the work of a low-pressure air system over the Pacific that is working its way down the coast.
A weaker system is expected to move in Friday night and Saturday, and a third system is possible for Sunday, though forecasters are still uncertain.
Thursday should bring more rain, but perhaps the bulk of it shifting south, along with a slight chance of thunderstorms and highs of 55 to 60.
Mountain areas could see some snow, but the Santa Ana Mountains will likely see flurries at best; most of the snow is expected above 5,000 feet.
Evening brings more rain chances under partly cloudy skies, again with a slight chance of thunderstorms.
Friday is partly cloudy and 54 to 59 inland, about 60 on the coast.
And there's about a 40 percent chance of rain Friday night, the Weather Service says, under partly cloudy skies.
Saturday brings partly cloudy skies and a slight chance of rain in the morning, with highs of 56 to 61.
Sunday is mostly cloudy, also with a slight rain chance, and highs of 57 to 62; that slight chance continues into the night.
If we receive any rain from this system, it will likely be light, with most of the action to the north of Orange County.
Monday and Tuesday are partly cloudy, with highs of 60 to 65 Monday and perhaps a degree less Tuesday.
Tuesday night could bring another chance of rain under partly cloudy skies, while Wednesday should be partly cloudy with highs of 59 to 64.

Megan Murphy: Add-ons give potato unfair reputation as diet-killing vegetable
Many restaurants have a version of loaded baked potato soup on their menu, often one of their best-selling soups, especially on cold winter nights. What's not to love? Creamy potato goodness with the add-ons we like, including sour cream, grated cheese and crispy bacon bits. The problem is that too many bowls of this kind of soup can add way more calories than most of us need, in addition to piling on lots of saturated fat.
The potato is an often-maligned vegetable, seen as villainous to our diets because it is fattening. But a medium plain potato has only about 110 calories and is virtually fat-free. It's what we do to this versatile vegetable that makes it so unfriendly to dieters. We like it cut up and deep fried or shredded and pan-fried. We like to add gobs of butter or cheese or sour cream or bacon, or pile on all of these at once. I have sometimes seen potatoes so loaded with these add-ons that it's hard to see the potato at all. With all these extras, the modest calories in a plain potato can increase astronomically. But the extras do taste good, which makes them hard to give up.
Potatoes are a good source of vitamin C and supply fiber as well as plenty of complex carbohydrates, which we need for energy. They have no sodium, but plenty of potassium, a mineral needed by the body's cells for fluid regulation and maintenance of proper blood pressure.
Potatoes also supply some vitamin B6, which is used in protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and they even provide a little of the iron we need as well. It's no wonder that in 2008, the International Year of the Potato, the United Nations recognized the potato as yielding "more nutritious food quickly on less land and in harsher climates than any other major crop." And potatoes are easy on the budget too.
Today's recipe features a lighter version of loaded baked potato soup. Instead of cream providing that smooth, creamy feel to the soup, 2 percent milk and reduced fat sour cream are used instead. And while there is cheese in the soup, it's a reasonable amount, just a dab of it, along with a bit of crumbled bacon, right on top where you can see it and it can deliver a bigger taste hit. Of course, you can leave the bacon off if you like, or use turkey bacon for a little less fat and fewer calories.
This recipe makes eight generous (1½ cup) servings. It is really a main dish by itself, but you could cut back the serving size to a cup or less and let it be a side dish with a half-sandwich or a salad.
However you make it, I don't think you will miss those extra calories and fat grams.
Next time you bake potatoes for dinner, add four extra potatoes. The next day, you will have the four potatoes you need to make this soup, and you can get to it right away, rather than waiting for the potatoes to bake and cool. It takes no longer to bake four extra potatoes, so you save on time and energy by preparing some of tomorrow's dinner at the same time.

Wish I could join you this weekend but I am not free - 11th anniversary and my wife would kill me or divorce me, which she might do anyway!
Give me a heads up when you decide to come down the East River as I have done that a bunch of times and is easy if you get the tides right. Do you have the Eldrige Tide & Pilot manual or equivalent? You will need it all the way to Carolinas. Check the current charts for the E. River.
One trick we used the last time I came down in June was to tie up for the night at the Minneford Yacht Basin docks on City Island while we waited for a favorable tide down the E. River the next AM. We left early enough so there was no charge. You don't want to do the E. River in the dark.
Another trick is that if you arrive at some marinas at dusk and leave at dawn you may also get a free night. Did that once at Liberty Landing.
One more is that there are mooring buoys at Pier 40 on the Manhattan side near the Holland Tunnel air shaft. That may very well also end up being a freebie this time of year.
Have fun and be safe.
email me at: calebjess (at) aol(dot)com if you like. I can check the tide windows for you over the next few days.

Waukesha - A rash of recent ice sculpture destruction in the area of West Main Street has not abated, despite the early morning arrest of three men last Friday for allegedly destroying an ice sculpture outside Waukesha Wireless.
Two of the men, ages 23 and 24, were arrested at 2 a.m. on Jan. 25 for disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. Martin Dominguez, 23, was arrested and charged with two counts of felony bail jumping after it was discovered he was on bail for possession with intent to deliver cocaine. He had signed a $2,000 signature bond that stated he must maintain absolute sobriety while on bail. He allegedly told police after being placed under arrest for the vandalism that he had "a couple of drinks" during the night, according to the criminal complaint. He registered a .10 on an administered breath test.
Approximately 11 ice sculptures have been destroyed since Jan. 21, according to police dispatch logs. Scattered along the downtown area, they are the remnants of the city's JanBoree winter festival, Jan. 18 to 20. The citywide event includes an ice sculpting demonstration and contest downtown.
Waukesha Police Captain Ron Oremus said the department has to deal with the destruction of ice sculptures every year. Despite increased patrols during the JanBoree, it is difficult to discourage would be vandals.
"Despite all the work that goes into them, some people just don't care," Oremus said.
He said he suspects the vandalism, which seems to be concentrated along West Main Street and the surround area, is the work of local bar patrons or teenagers.
The arrest of the three men has not slowed down reports of destroyed ice sculptures. On Jan. 26, several construction barrels and two ice sculptures on West Main Street were knocked over. According to the dispatch log, an officer talked to four subjects crossing Wisconsin Avenue walking away from the area. "No one admitted to knowing anything about the barrels," the log reads, and the subjects left.
Two more sculptures were knocked over on the nights of Jan. 27 and Jan. 28. One was located near the intersection of Main Street and West Broadway and the other was located near 716 Clinton St.
Patti McIntire, an employee at River's End Gallery, said they had a rose ice sculpture costing approximately $100 destroyed on Jan. 21. The business has filed a complaint, but McIntire said she does not want to see the suspect or suspects thrown in jail. She just wants them to pay for the damages and apologize.
"Its too bad people have to do stuff like that," McIntire said.She said vandalism was not issue for the gallery before.
Anyone found to be violating municipal ordinances against disorderly conduct or criminal damage to property can be fined not less than $50 and not more than $500.
