Making a Difference was written in 2007 and released in the middle of 2008. It was indeed affected by extant conditions, and it uses the Bush administration as an exemplar of cyclical regressive values. A hunger for change was more than evident in American society during the time the author worked on the book. It is intended as a work of applied critical and progressive theory in public administration, as a matter of finding ways that public professionals and scholars who choose to do so might help shift the long-term balance between regressive and progressive values toward the progressive end of the continuum. Stefano Harney's review graciously and with approval describes the book's "program for encouraging progressively minded public servants to be agents of change"; along with parall...
Attacks against U.S. computer networks - most of them privately owned - are increasing in number and severity. Let's hope the new administration moves decisively to foster collaboration between the public and private sector so America can become cyberresilient. The reasons for doing so are manifest.

Tom Corbett's administration will attempt to reshape public education during the next four years, enacting an aggressive agenda that focuses on school choice and competition, according to Ronald Tomalis, the governor's nominee for secretary of Education. In an interview with the Tribune-Review, Tomalis, the acting secretary of Education, laid out a plan for a system that would include educational options ranging from a strengthened and expanded charter school system, to publicly funded vouchers for private and parochial schools, to more flexible public schools.
