The New York State Department Of Education wanted the state's 700 school districts to submit a teacher evaluation plan for approval by midnight Thursday, and city officials and the United Federation of Teachers spent the last six days in constant negotiations.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott first confirmed in an afternoon press conference that talks fell apart early around 3 a.m. Thursday.
- Which side of the political battle between City Hall and the teachers' and yellow bus drivers' unions? Join the conversation on "The Call" at 9 p.m. with NY1's John Schiumo, or email your thoughts.
- Watch the mayor's press conference.
- Watch the teachers' union press conference.
The mayor said negotiations collapsed because the teachers' union wanted the entire agreement to expire, or sunset, in June 2015.
He said the condition would make the program useless because the process to remove an ineffective teacher from the classroom takes two years.
"If the agreement sunsetted in two years, the whole thing would be a joke and nobody would ever be able to be removed," Bloomberg said. "The law would be gone before the process could finish. It would essentially sabotage the entire agreement."
"The sunset was not really, we didn't feel it was that controversial," Mulgrew said. "So many of the districts in the state have it, and it makes sense to go back and stop and take a look at what you're doing."
Bloomberg said another sticking point was the union's request to double the number of arbitration hearings available for teachers who file grievances under the new ratings system.
The mayor also said last-minute changes made by union leaders to the scoring method would have ensured that fewer teachers would be deemed ineffective.
"Instead of working with us to tie up the lose ends of this agreement, they continued to insert unrelated, extraneous issues into these negotiations," Bloomberg said.
Mulgrew later blasted Bloomberg and his account of the late night bargaining process. He said a deal was in fact in place but the mayor "torpedoed" it at the last minute.
"Just stop it, just tell everyone the truth. You didn't want the deal, you blew it up," Mulgrew said. "You agreed, you kept moving the goal posts. It was nonstop 'We want more, more, more, more, more,' and it doesn't matter what's best for kids."
New York City was one of a handful that had not turned a rating system in, putting $250 million in state aid on the line.
UFT officials said earlier this week that the city had refused to take part in mediation, posing a serious threat to meeting the deadline.
Another one of the delayed school districts, in Buffalo, turned in an evaluation system this afternoon.
In a statement released Thursday morning, Governor Andrew Cuomo reiterated there would be no extensions or exceptions.
"Since we established one of the strongest teacher evaluation models in the nation last year, 98 percent of school districts have successfully implemented them," the statement read. "The remaining districts and their unions have until midnight tonight to do the same or they will forfeit the increase in education aid they have been counting on and both parties will have failed the children they serve."
The state aid was already part of in this school year's budget, and a lot of that money has already been spent by the city Department of Education.
The schools chancellor said there is no way to isolate individual schools from budget cuts resulting from the loss in state aid.
He said every school in the city will face painful cutbacks without a deal.

The pilot glanced outside his cockpit and froze. He blinked hard and looked again, hoping it was just a mirage. But his co-pilot stared at the same horrible vision.
"My God, this is a nightmare," the co-pilot said.
"He's going to destroy us," the pilot agreed.
The men were looking at a gray German Messerschmitt fighter hovering just three feet off their wingtip. It was five days before Christmas 1943, and the fighter had closed in on their crippled American B-17 bomber for the kill.
The B-17 pilot, Charles Brown, was a 21-year-old West Virginia farm boy on his first combat mission. His bomber had been shot to pieces by swarming fighters, and his plane was alone in the skies above Germany. Half his crew was wounded, and the tail gunner was dead, his blood frozen in icicles over the machine guns.
But when Brown and his co-pilot, Spencer "Pinky" Luke, looked at the fighter pilot again, something odd happened. The German didn't pull the trigger. He nodded at Brown instead. What happened next was one of the most remarkable acts of chivalry recorded during World War II. Years later, Brown would track down his would-be executioner for a reunion that reduced both men to tears.
Living by the code
People love to hear war stories about great generals or crack troops such as Seal Team 6, the Navy unit that killed Osama bin Laden. But there is another side of war that's seldom explored: Why do some soldiers risk their lives to save their enemies and, in some cases, develop a deep bond with them that outlives war?
And are such acts of chivalry obsolete in an age of drone strikes and terrorism?
Those are the kinds of questions Brown's story raises. His encounter with the German fighter pilot is beautifully told in a New York Times best-selling book, "A Higher Call." The book explains how that aerial encounter reverberated in both men's lives for more than 50 years.

Motive For Flyover?, Why fly a plane over the pentagon instead of just crash it into it |

I don't see how your point is relevant to the question posed. My point is that the within the M.O. of both attacks the planes were not the cause of the ultimate physical destruction. Sure they caused some physical destruction at the WTC but it is insignificant when compared to what was implemented covertly yet people were psychologically manipulated into believing it was all from the plane in both cases. It's certainly more on topic then the rest of the discussion. This post has been edited by DoYouEverWonder: Feb 20 2009, 05:05 PM |

I run into this all the time -- more aggressive Democrats, for example, who want to see Bush and the gang held responsible for the criminal acts of his Administration (but who, bizarrely, do not include 9/11 in those crimes). What I see over and over again is they don't "get it" -- they don't GET that these people are REALLY CRIMINALS and that they are representatives of a TRULY CRIMINAL CLASS that is out of control on this planet and causing ALL OF US enormous grief -- including the NEW 9/11 "economic meltdown" that began on 9/11/08. They don't GET IT that this isn't a "right/left" or "democrat/republican" or whatever other dichotomy issue; they don't get it that the SYTEM itself is being PLAYED by criminal syndicates hiding behind governmental policies and "free market" manipulations -- and that in their greed and psychopathy they are on the verge of destroying not only themselves but ALL of us. Just blows my friggn' mind. Why should we give people who support and defend this criminality ANY consideration or wiggle room at all? Facts are facts and all they want to do is obscure and cover-up those facts and by their actions defend policies and actions which are abhorrent to all decency and human conscience. So far as I'm concerned, they are delusional psychopaths and should treated as such. Right On! (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif) |

There were no missiles used in the Pentagon attack. There is absolutely ZERO evidence for a missile. Hi, Craig. It seems we are in basic agreement regarding the answer to Scott's question apart from how the explosive charge/charges were administered. You put forward pre-planted explosives, I put forward projectile-delivered explosives (however, I do not rule out supplementary pre-planted explosives at all). I have to disagree with you regarding zero evidence of a missile. A thorough examination of the terminal ballistics involved (punch in, thru target damage characteristics, and punch out) suggest nothing other than a missile to me. Of course, I would not readily expect eyewitness evidence for such a projectile, bearing in mind the high velocity and low visibility of a guided penetrator, but there is evidence from earwitnesses which is entirely consistent with a penetrator having impacted the Pentagon: Lou Rains: I heard a loud, quick, whooshing sound Sheila Moody: I heard a whistle and then a rumble and a big whoosh Dan Fraunfelter: A strange sucking, whirring sound like a vacuum cleaner David Theall: A certain whoosh that you hear and at the moment of impact there's a vacuum that just simply sucks the air out of your lungs John Thurman: There was a large whoosh and then a kind of karumph sound Tom Siebert: We heard what sounded like a huge missile and then we heard a loud boom Then, of course, there's the documented Radiation Hose-Downs (not hoe-downs (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) and donning of Nuke Suits, which would be a prerequisite of dealing with the aftermath of a DU laden penetrator impact. Also worthy of inclusion (IMO) is 9/11 Commissioner, Tim Roemer's slip of the tongue on CNN: "Standing in front of the Pentagon that night, seeing one of our fortresses pried open by a missile - er - airplane".

We know there was a plane on the north side. All of this "ear" evidence fits a plane. NONE of it is direct evidence for a missile as opposed to a plane. QUOTE Then, of course, there's the documented Radiation Hose-Downs (not hoe-downs (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) and donning of Nuke Suits, which would be a prerequisite of dealing with the aftermath of a DU laden penetrator impact. That is not evidence for a missile. Apparently you made up the term "nuke suit" and also this fabricated "pre-requisite" because you certainly have not provided evidence for these wild claims. QUOTE Also worthy of inclusion (IMO) is 9/11 Commissioner, Tim Roemer's slip of the tongue on CNN: "Standing in front of the Pentagon that night, seeing one of our fortresses pried open by a missile - er - airplane". (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/doh1.gif) That is not evidence for a missile. That is evidence for a slip of the tongue or else evidence that the 9/11 Commissioner planted a seed of disinfo in your brain. The fact is that there is no independent verifiable evidence for a missile and this proven false theory that has kept us off track for so long has been debunked as absolutely 100% deliberate disinfo. I'm sorry but this type of speculation is extremely harmful and does nothing but dilute the hard evidence we have worked so hard to obtain. Therefore we can not tolerate it. I'm not trying to be a jerk and I apologize if it comes off that way but we have no time for this. Please visit our website and familiarize yourself with all the independent evidence we present because it proves that 9/11 as an inside job without resorting to any speculation of this nature. |

no one saw a missile.
not one. we spoke to them, over half a dozen witnesses in a position to see a missile or anything else, and no one saw a missile. they saw a two engined commercial type plane, loud and low. and no one saw that plane, fire a missile. thus, there is ZERO evidence of a missile. to even come near establishing there was a missile, you have to explain why none of these aforementioned witnesses saw it. and you have to find a source for that missile. where did it come from? a plane? a truck - like a mobile scud unit? a shoulder launcher? a navy ship? a helicopter? then you're back to having to explain why no one saw any of these sources, or a missile for that matter. you're best bet for that notion, is to try and prove that the 2 engined commercial looking jet, which was seen by everyone, shot the missile. but some of the witnesses we spoke to were directly under the plane and saw its belly, and none of them describe and appendage to allow for a missile, or a missile. maybe, the missile was on top of the plane! thats why most people didnt see it! im being facetious, but thats the only way i can see a missile in this equation, and even then i think its an extremely unrealistic scenario. besides, why a missile? a missile alone couldnt mimic the damage path they were going to hope portrayed a 757 going southwest to northeast inside the building. a missile couldnt/wouldnt make such linear damage, but EVEN IF IT COULD, the plane was going in the opposite direction of that damage. SO if the jet plane launched a missile and that plane was flying NORTHWEST to SOUTHEAST, then a missile launched from that plane would have to follow that same path. but it doesNt. so for a missile launch, you need a source somewhere in the southwest cutting towards the poles and the building. yet not one witness exists to have seen that source or even a missile. NOTE - that all of the source you give are of people describing sound, not sight. a low loud plane and ensuing explosion could sound like alot of things, even a missile - i guess. afterall, how often have you heard a missile in your life? i dont know what the hell a missile sounds like, but i might use one to figuratively describe the sound of a plane diving by. the missile was a false path in the pursuit of the truth. even i passionately and devotedly believed it for the longest time. but now i know better. there was a plane. cit has witnesses who saw it and are on record, and i know of 3 other not-on-the-record witnesses who saw it, as well as one who felt/heard it passing by but didnt see it (she was inside asleep and awoke to the loudness of it). so there was at least a plane. but so far, ZERO evidence of a missile.

Thanks everyone for your comments. 2 posts in particular I found most answered what I wanted to know:
...the motive for the flyover is obvious. The main difference between the WTC and the Pentagon attacks is the fact that they did not plan to completely demolish their own headquarters. Naturally they would want complete control of the damage down to surgical precision and this would not be able to be accurately predicted with a large airliner as opposed to pre-planted explosives. On the other hand, if someone found out that explosives were used instead of the planes, there'd be a fairly large problem; a problem that wouldn't exist if the plane did it. However, there's another issue here- if the plane was a drone, then the debris wouldn't match up with flight 77. But then the question becomes, why use a drone? QUOTE (Craig Ranke CIT) Therefore it was virtually the exact same M.O. as at the WTC. Real planes used as psychological tools while the true destruction was covertly implemented with pre-planted explosives. In both cases the planes were relatively insignificant to the end result when considering the physical destruction. Nods. Another factor would be the terrain and obstacles which would make it extremely difficult to impossible to hit their target wall without crashing due to light poles, or hitting the ground due to angle and speed. I was thinking of that possibility myself as well :-p. |

i dont think there is actually a motive for flying over. the flyover itself is necessary because it is dictated by other factors. bare with me and i will try to explain...
why not use a plane and crash it? i dont know, but looking back now with hindsight at the event some thoughts about objectives vs. parameters come to mind: if you crash a real plane, (as craig mentioned) you wont have a surgical strike of a very specific area. a plane crash is unpredictable and may not destroy enough of the building. "enough"? by that i mean that specific areas and occupants were direct targets, so at the top of the objectives, is the main goal of neutralizing very specifc people and/or computers and/or other data, and to do so these targets were place in a very specific region of the building. my guess is that if you could access whoever it is that designates rooms to occupants as well as the chronological records of these room assignments, you would find that either knowing or unknowingly the people tasked with doing the assigning were led to put certain people in what would in the future end up being the alleged plane crash site. group by group various targets were assigned rooms in that section of the building. explosives were either already placed or were placed later, when they were placed is not exactly that important. what is important is when the groups were moved. if u could pinpoint that information, you would have an idea of how long ago the plan/blueprint (yes - for 9/11 at the pentagon) had been drawn up. so the targets were decided on, actions/directives were implemented to get them moved to the desired location, and bam. at around 9:38 tuesday september 11th 2001, a wave of heat and debris leveled the targeted locations, killing most of the people within the blast zones. back to the plane: so your real plane crash scenario doesnt successfully achieve the intended objectives (of neutralizing inside-the-building targets). you could do it anyway (crash a 757 into the west wall along with bombs inside the building), even if one of the liabilities to the psyop factor is going to be that a major chunk of the plane is gonna end up on the lawn, which might lead some to wonder how the damaged penetrated so deep, when most of the length of the plane is outside instead of inside the place. but so what? if they can (and did) lie and get away with saying that a plane crashed where none did, then surely they could have lied about the inside building damage if a plane was crashed and burning on the lawn. SO i think there is another major problem, or parameter if you will, and its revealed because "they" didnt crash an actual plane, and it has to do with the alleged passengers. had they crashed a plane, not only would a huge chunk of it be sitting on the lawn, but most of it would be kept from burning all the way up. so there SHOULD be remains and bodies and luggage and all sorts of plane crash remnants. given how publicly accessible the crashed area would be, and the many military people involved, they would have tried majorly to rescue any people in this would-be plane wreckage. so why didnt they go with that option - of actually crashing a plane? the fact that they didnt says to me they did NOT have the bodies necessary to facilitate the lie they intended to tell. unlike the out of reach tower crashes, the pentagon wreckage would have been crawling with people (fire trucks and crews especially) and they would have reached what was supposed to be inside those planes, and cameras would be around and rolling. it would be very hard to explain or contain being exposed or caught in the lie, if the wreckage didnt add up to the right number and type of people (like babies and children). the flyover (or absence of an actual plane crash) is an indication to me, that the passengers were never onboard the plane that did the flyover - their plane disappeared over west va and ohio - and they probably arent even dead (not all of them anyway). to me, more than the would-be inability of the perps' to come up with bodies, is the perps' need to have certain people from these groups alive. for example: if the people were disposable and meant nothing and were kill-able, then "flight 77" could have easily had all the alleged people (barb olson and co.) onboard gassed and dead, and the plane flown via remote into the pentagon building. the rest of the damage, including the deep all the way to the c-ring damage could be explained away the same as is the current explanation (lies and bullshit). but again, they did NOT do that (even tho on the surface it would seem they could've). so because they didnt, i think that not all the people (if any) were disposable. i dont know if i've explained it all in a way that's clear (and sorry if its long winded), but to me: -targetted pentagon workers/data were the key objective, -keeping at least some of the passengers alive was the 2nd major objective; -the inability to provide the necessary bodies for an on-the-lawn crash scene was their most-limiting parameter. add it all up, and you have to fly the plane over the scene instead of crashing into it. *** so then the question is where is the plane? AA collected on it, did they not? are they in on it or not? or maybe not... i know the gov trusts AA enough to let them carry the space shuttle around and hang out at nasa sites, so AA might not be your average airline company. but even if AA doesnt know about it, that plane went somewhere and it wasnt the pentagon's interior. i dont know how, or if you can launder a plane, but maybe thats what became of it. with a car its not so hard, tho thanks to computers, its alot harder than it used to be. but planes' have a million "vins", all sorts of parts tagged and serial numbered. maybe its easier - if you have enough authority and access - to simply get rid of all the records to the plane parts and numbers, than to get rid of the plane itself - honestly i dont know. but if wiping clear or falsifying its records not easier, then my guess is that just like the missing passengers, its best that the plane and/or any of its parts better not show up anywhere ever again. and im fairly certain the perps have taken adequate measures to ensure that.

Hi all!
Here's my two cents worth on the themes that have developed on this thread: 1. Why Fly Over Painter wisely said that "we have to stick with what we DO know and not go too far off in the direction of what we can only speculate about." Craig said that the obvious motive for a flyover and why it is different from the WTC is that they wanted complete and precise control of the damage which is better achieved by using pre-planted explosives as opposed to an airliner. That's what I was going to post until I saw that Craig had already done so. Keeping both points in mind by sticking to facts apparent in the record, I think that certain general classes of people and entities have motive, opportunity and necessary means. For example, Rumsfeld's 9-10-2001 revelation that there were discrepancies in the defense accounts to the tune of (I think) 2 trillion dollars. Because the last Clinton fiscal year ended on 7-31-2001: (1) the scandal did not touch the new Administration; (2) gave it at least eight months from 1-20-2001; (3) to assemble the facts and time the revelation in a way that maximized the obvious political benefit. Maybe that's fair play in politics. Those implicated have two trillion worth of motive. The investigation would not tread lightly and give almost eight months warning and an opportunity to acquire (properly or improperly) advance information about terrorist plans. The availability of the necessary means of deception and destruction is an inherent part of the scandal. Speculation starts when you try to identify classes of people and entities meeting this profile and specific identifications are even more tenuous. However, without speculation, right now the list can be significantly narrowed to classes of people and entities positioned to steal this money, and can only include those that actually did so. Obvious candidates are defense contractors, their management, high ranking military officers, and high elected, appointed or hired civil officials. This suggests that some interesting people may not be involved beforehand. If Rumsfeld was involved in the flyover, what is the benefit of announcing the scandal the day before? Clinton's Administration is the obvious first target to blame. The Bush Administration was not an apparent target and would not benefit by burying it under the next day's events. Of course it might go back years to Bush's dad or to companies in which that Rumsfeld or other current or former officials had interests. However, I'm not aware of anything such as an impending expose that compelled a preemptive announcement; why call any attention at all to it and instead just keep it going? It is easy to foresee that an announcement the day before would lead to adverse inferences. On the other hand, the political opportunity to skewer the previous administration seems to be a good independent motive for the announcement. Afterward, Rummy quickly realized the implications and got involved in the cover up. 2. Boone I don't think he should be banned. He has been helpful on some tangential issues. He provided a source that satisfied me by identifying squawk 2230-3 as an Air Canada flight, which allowed me to move on to other things. His analysis of the AMT133, UAL583 and DCA Landing List* issues is similar to mine and I think his conclusion is the same- there is an easy, adequate and innocuous explanation and further research won't be fruitful. I agree that he is hard to read and I don't know what he does on other Boards, but I also think this Board is tough minded enough to separate good information from bad. ____________________________ *I am convinced that the List does not show or mean that AA93 landed at DCA. However, the question of why the "terrorists" would change the flight plan to DCA and get on the list in the first place, or how the plane otherwise got on the list, should be explored.

I also dont think Boone should be banned outright, just because he disagrees with us.
However, i also understand and know why he only lurks and rarely ever engages on this forum... (if past experience is any indication). Boone doesnt have much to offer when confronting real professionals with his OCT BS.

The pentagon attack, that is. We know that everything is compartmentalized, in a psy-op. The legs of the spider don't question each other, only obey the spider. There must have been different "departments" unbeknown to each other, used to carry out this operation, under orders from a central source. For instance, since we know that the airplane, didn't hit the Pentagon, Yet, the light poles were downed, outside of it's flight path. One can only conclude that the light poles were taken down by a group, under orders, who could not have been informed about the actual direction of the incoming plane (that flew over). The right hand can not be allowed to know what the left hand is doing. As a result, mistakes in the "plan" were made. i.e. The downed light poles were not in line with the flight path. Therefore, one can only conclude that the light poles were not hit by the plane, and could not have been hit by a missile because they were too far apart. So the light poles must have been individually taken down in advance. So, to me this is proof, that this whole, false flag, was planned under orders from a central source to, compartmentalized divisions, of its' structure, on a need to know, but not everything, basis. This is why mistakes were made. The destination of the flyover was told, but the proper trajectory was kept a secret, to whoever took down the light poles. The guys running this particular false flag operation, obviously, were not pilots. The guys running this particular false flag operation, thought only of the destination, not the route. The goal not the path. ...and it is in the path, that we see their errors. imo, lunk |

We know that everything is compartmentalized, in a psy-op. ... Yeah, everything you said, lunk. I'll only add that it might be interesting to count the number of legs on the spider and try and figure out where they're all connected. Who has the operational capability to successfully stage an "attack" on the Pentagon? -- keeping in mind that MOST (not all) of the witnesses directly involved were themselves not privy to the deception. I think CIT is right about Loyd England being a key figure in all this. Damn, I wish we could get him in front of a grand jury and under oath! |

They are the "avant garde" of the 2020 Cannes Festival. The selected films will all have to make sense in 2020. Avant-garde films are expected, using all available new technologies (3D, olfactory movies, audio-description, sub-titles) in order to make the audience discover to what extend technology would expand the use of our five sense at best (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch). The spectator becomes an actor. But isn't that the purpose of technology?

City, property owner unable to come to agreement regarding miniature donkeys
By Kenny Green, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Mesquite City Council voted by a 3-4 vote to not allow the breeding of miniature donkeys after a lengthy debate during which the property owner and council members voiced their concerns over several issues within the proposed ordinance agreements.
Lonnie Crane applied for the zoning change to allow the operation of a donkey breeding business on property he owns at 1007 Rodeo Center Drive. The property currently has 11 donkeys and one horse, which are permitted by right based on the property's R3 zoning.
The city council had some concerns on Jan. 7 about the rezoning and asked the city staff to rework the ordinance to address the issues. Council members were concerned about the impact an agricultural property tax exemption, if sought by Crane, would have on future development of the property. Several members of the council worried that developers would be turned away due to roll-back taxes, which would be due if the property use was to become anything other than agricultural.
The city also added a provision that the permit would have to be renewed after two years. The new draft was intended to address the council's concerns about the possibility of an agricultural exemption creating a hindrance for future development of the property.
"When we postponed this we were trying to work through some rough details to make it pleasing for both you and the city," said Councilman Dennis Tarpley.
Crane did not like the latest version of the ordinance, as he said it forced him to give up his right to seek an agricultural exemption. He stated that the city would not ask a person to voluntarily give up their homestead exemption so they shouldn't ask him to give up his right for an agricultural exemption.
"We are not accepting the city council's proposal. There is no way I can sign away my legal rights to something that is given to me by right," Crane said.
He added that the rollback taxes would not hinder redevelopment of the property in the future, as it could be worked into the purchase agreement for the property. Crane said that the biggest hindrance of future redevelopment on the property would be drainage issues and the size and age of some of the trees.
Councilman Greg Noschese addressed the issue with Crane from the dais. He told Crane that the council and city staff worked to try and reach a compromise to allow him to operate his business and to protect the interest of the city.
"I get a sense that you are not happy with the staff recommendation," Noschese said.
Noschese asked Crane if there was anything in the proposed ordinance that would prevent him from operating the business as he wanted. Crane said that there was not anything in the ordinance that would prohibit him from operating the miniature donkey breeding business.
Noschese made a motion to pass the latest version of the ordinance drafted by the city staff. The motion was seconded by Councilman Bill Porter but failed by a 3-4 vote.
After the latest draft of the ordinance failed, Mayor Pro tem Stan Pickett made a motion to approve the original staff ordinance, which was presented at the Jan. 7 council meeting, but it failed due to a lack of a second. No other council member made a motion to approve or deny any of the drafts of the ordinance, which led Mayor John Monaco to announce the rezoning would be automatically denied due to a lack of motion from the council.

The Douglas Police Department Officers held their Explorer Post information forum on Nov. 28 at the Douglas Visitor's Center.
The Explorers provide educational training on the purposes, mission, and objectives of law enforcement. The program provides career orientation experiences, leadership opportunities, and community service activities.
The primary goals of the program are to help young adults choose a career path within law enforcement and to challenge them to become responsible citizens of their communities.
The Explores program was first established in Douglas in 1979 with a lot of its members now working in law enforcement.
In 2010 the programs was dissolved due to lack of participation.
"I recently started working for the DPD about two years ago. This community has treated me and my family very well," Ofc. Martin Villa said. "I saw that there was a need to express and to reach out to the community on my behalf, I decided to talk to the chief and got his approval (to restart the program) and I talked to the other advisors to bring back the explorer program, this is my way to give back to the community."
"You will learn a lot about team members, it's that bond that you will learn. You will care for each other when one hurts you all hurt," Villa added. "When one is behind the pack another will go behind the pack and push him, we will teach you that. It's with pride that we put this uniform on every day."
The Explorers will have the opportunity to learn accident scene procedures, bomb threat response and proper equipment usage. They will also participate in ride-alongs, national events and competitions and community service.
"As Explorers you will have a lot fun but in law enforcement it's ten percent fun and 90 percent paperwork," Sgt. Jose Duarte told the group. "If you put commitment into this you guys will get a lot out of it."
The next meeting will be held on Dec. 5 at the Visitor's Center at 6 p.m.
If you are interested in joining the Police Explorers contact Ofc. Jamilette Barrios, Ofc. Maria Cuevas, Ofc. Oscar Ortega or Ofc. Martin Villa at (520) 417- 7550.

If you could predict with a high degree of precision that investment in your employer brand strategy would deliver value wouldn't you increase your investment?
Employer Brand International's (EBI) 2012/2013 Global Research study found that 39% of companies plan to increase their investment in employer branding initiatives in 2013. The important consideration in this statistic is just how much of this investment will add value and how much will be wasted. For many companies it may lead to an outcome that many marketers are only too well aware of: half of their investment is wasted, they just don't know which half!
Making the case to measure return on investment of employer branding isn't the hard part. Figuring out what to measure is! EBI's 2011 global study found that retention rate (thirty-eight percent of companies surveyed use this metric) is the most common metric used to measure ROI of employer branding. Thirty-three percent use employee engagement, twenty-nine percent quality of hire, twenty-seven percent cost per hire and twenty-six percent use number of applicants. So which metric(s) should you use?

Recently I caught up with International employer brand strategist and author, Brett Minchington to ask his thoughts on the question that causes alot of confusion!
Should an employer use different EVP-subsets in their employer branding activities if they target many different audiences?
The short answer to this is YES!
However before I delve into the details it's important to define what an Employer Value Proposition (EVP) is.

An employer branding strategy won't work if it's switched on and off according to hiring activity, say branding experts, but periods of low demand can be used to review what works and what doesn't.
Employer Brand International CEO Brett Minchington told Shortlist that companies with hiring freezes or that were undergoing restructuring shouldn't shelve their employer brand efforts.
He said regardless of the economic environment, an employer brand should be up-to-date, distinctive, and should stay front-of-mind with candidates and current staff.
Employers who weren't hiring should instead review the areas of the business where inefficiency and waste existed, "cut costs there and use some of the savings to invest in areas where they may be most needed, for example an internal engagement program or a new applicant tracking system – which will enhance their employer brand".
Minchington said the brand should also be aligned with the company's corporate and customer brand, "unless there is a very good reason not to" – for instance if the wider organisation had developed an image problem due to high-profile redundancies, or had otherwise suffered bad press.

Las responsabilidades sobre la estrategia de employer branding está en un 45% en funciones distintas a las de RR.HH., tales como comunicación o marketing, en los países anglosajones, mientras que en España, cuando se desarrollan acciones en este campo son los departamentos de gestión de personas los que ejercen su liderazgo. Pero a juicio de Brett Minchington, CEO de Employer Brand International y uno de los líderes más representativos del momento en estos temas "la nuestra es una tendencia que tiene que invertirse, ya que "corporate branding, consumer branding y employer branding tienen
los límites cada vez más difusos". Michington ha estado recientemente en España invitado por Peoplematters para intervenir en la Employer Brand Leadership International Master Class, en la que la docena de profesionales participantes se han visto animados a "empezar a colaborar ya con otras áreas para que el employer branding no acabe convertido en otra pequeña función de recursos humanos".

The Path to the spam Dark Side is paved with lawyers' wishful thinking
Planning for the Protection of Personal Information Act is not a small endeavour and taking shortcuts to preserve current business models may turn out to be disastrously short-sighted in the year or two ahead. My colleagues may be correct in their approach and their clients may be able to adopt a relatively liberal interpretation of the Protection of Personal Information Act and its implementation. I have a different take on how the Act will apply, especially given its broader role as substance for the Constitutional right to privacy. Going beyond the Act's interpretation and application by the proposed Regulator and Courts, the risk of being too careless with consumers' personal information could have even more dire consequences for brands than legal non-compliance.

Fake White House bombing tweet craters stock markets
The Associated Press Twitter profile was hacked yesterday and a fake tweet about a bombing at the White House was published. The result was dramatic, the US stock market plummeted and only recovered about 10 minutes later when AP tweeted that it had been hacked and since locked its Twitter profile down.
Introducing POPI's processing conditions
There is a lot more to the anticipated Protection of Personal Information Act and, in this post, I'd like to introduce you to what are known as "Conditions for lawful processing of personal information". These conditions effectively operate as processing parameters and will have a relatively subtle but substantial impact on direct marketing because they limit the scope of what personal information can be processed and for how long.

Ashton Curlee, the ambitious daughter of two teachers, received official notification of her acceptance to the new Texas Science Scholar Program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin on the first day of college.
"It's a really awesome program," said Curlee, a native of Monahans. "There's a lot of good stuff that comes along with it."
Savings top that list. If Curlee stays on track, maintaining a 3.0 grade point average and completing 30 hours of course work each school year, she will graduate with a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 2016. Instead of paying more than $6,300 per academic year in tuition and fees -- the current cost for a regular student -- Curlee will pay $2,500 per year.
That adds up to a $10,000 degree, a notion that has taken on grail-like status in some Texas higher education circles as the state struggles to address rising tuition at its public universities.
In Gov. Rick Perry's 2011 State of the State address, he called on Texas' universities to create degrees that cost no more than $10,000, including books. And he reiterated his desire for those institutions to lock in tuition rates for four years for incoming students. Some schools scrambled to create low-cost degrees, but the latter request was largely ignored.
Perry recently signaled his intention to once again call for a four-year tuition guarantee during the coming legislative session, teeing up a conversation about the rising price of a college education that he has been eager to engage in.
"Keeping higher education affordable is very important, and this is one step we can take," said Catherine Frazier, Perry's spokeswoman. "This is already an option for schools. The governor wants to take this a step further and apply it to all institutions of higher education."
But as with Perry's other price reduction proposal -- the $10,000 degree -- higher education leaders warn that the state's institutions may prove too diverse for a shared approach to reining in tuition prices.
"I think it probably has to be done on a case-by-case basis," said Raymund Paredes, the state's higher education commissioner. "It is good to have anything that calls attention to the fact that we can't continue on this unsustainable path of increasing tuition and fees, but it's a mistake to think you can do it with equal ease or the same amount of difficulty at all institutions."
That certainly proved true of $10,000 degrees, a proposal that was greeted with a skepticism that still lingers in some pockets of the state. In the intervening year, a handful of models, varying in design and accessibility, have been instituted around Texas. Yet another approach to the $10,000 degree is to be announced next month at Angelo State University in San Angelo.
With a new science building that could accommodate more students than were in the university's science courses, UT-Permian Basin found itself uniquely positioned to answer Perry's call. Taking a cue from the airline industry, university leaders realized that after they had enrolled enough students to cover their costs, they could offer a less-expensive rate to fill additional seats with high-performing students.
"Could we do this if we hadn't just finished a building and had some costs to grow into? Probably not," said Bill Fannin, the university's provost and vice president for academic affairs.
While other universities' $10,000 degrees were devised by combining college credits earned in high school with community college and university courses aimed at niche majors, UT-Permian Basin's was the first $10,000 option that was entirely contained on a single campus. But some question the school's approach, saying it provides what is effectively a scholarship.
"I think it is fair to say that what we are looking for is a $10,000 baccalaureate degree unsubsidized," Paredes, the higher education commissioner, said.
He also suggested that the state could lower the price of college by encouraging more paid internships that offer academic credit and by using free online courses.
He is optimistic about a degree the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is developing with South Texas College and Texas A&M University-Commerce, scheduled to debut in the fall of 2013. The degree, a bachelor's in organizational leadership, will rely heavily on Internet-based instruction and will allow students to move at their own pace by earning credit based on mastery of a concept rather than time in a classroom.
Dan Jones, the president of A&M-Commerce, was among the early skeptics of Perry's $10,000 degree proposal. "In fact, using existing models, it probably is not feasible," said Jones, who came around after realizing the potential of competency-based advancement to lower students' expenses. "You can't do this and deliver it the way we deliver our degrees now."
Some schools have not yet tried.
David E. Daniel, the president of the University of Texas at Dallas, which at more than $11,000 for tuition and fees for one academic year has the highest public university tuition in the state, said his administration has been too busy keeping up with its rapid enrollment growth to consider a $10,000 degree. But it is the only public university in Texas that currently has a four-year guaranteed tuition model for all of its students. Those who continue into a fifth year pay the set rate of the class that entered the year after them.
When Daniel was an administrator at a public university in Illinois, he opposed the idea of guaranteed tuition when Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat who was the governor at the time, signed it into law in 2003. But Daniel grew to appreciate the predictability it offered, both for the administration's budget and for the students -- not to mention the extra incentive it gave them to graduate on time.
The University of Texas at El Paso offers a similar, optional plan for its students, but it has not taken off. Diana Natalicio, the university's president, said it has a large population of low-income students who must work to pay for their education and often cannot graduate in four years.
"They are hesitant to make those kinds of commitments," she said. "They'd rather just pay as they go."
At the University of Texas at Austin, student reaction to such proposals has also been mixed, though President Bill Powers said he was open to revisiting the guaranteed tuition concept. "I think that's a very important idea the governor is raising that we ought to give a lot of thought," he said.
With the start of the 2013 legislative session three months away, lawmakers are considering how they might do that.
"It's a complex issue that has to be studied, but it has to be evaluated in terms of all its ramifications," said state Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, who is the chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee. "This is Texas. Texas is a huge and complex state. One size does not fit all. What works in one area will not in others."
