Many new teachers in the United States are committed to values that extend beyond expediency, narrow self-interest, and the present moment. These are precisely the kind of people who can help young people learn, not just how to make a living, but how to live and what to live for.New teachers lack mentoring and resources for training and professional development, while teachers are pressured by test-based evaluations, all for a profession that's increasingly devalued and under attack. But these pressures don't just hit new teachers.
But the system almost forces these new teachers toward other occupations.
In Wisconsin, Whitefish Bay High School teacher Christine Kiefer was working on a master's degree and had been teaching math for 10 years when Gov. Scott Walker's infamous Act 10 eliminating collective bargaining for public workers went into effect. She's been forced to abandon both. The master's degree went first, because of funding cuts. With that route to higher pay cut off, and with increasing class sizes, Kiefer told the school board she was resigning:
"Here's my problem: When I started, I had all these incentives to improve and now I am completely stuck," Kiefer told the board. "I have no master's degree, I have no way to increase my salary and there are no incentives in place for improving my practice. Others in my department and in this school make a lot more money than I do and I produce the same, quality results." [...]Christine Kiefer isn't the only Wisconsin teacher to leave in the wake of Act 10—retirements skyrocketed after the law was passed—and Act 10 isn't the only bad policy pushing dedicated teachers out of the classroom, though, as we'll see below the fold.
"I love teaching kids and I love the kids' families and I love my colleagues and I love Whitefish Bay, but I cannot wait any longer," she said. "I can't stay at a job that sacrifices all my time for my own family—at least two hours every school night and between six to 12 hours every weekend—time after the bell rings, time that produces such good results when there is no good faith effort on the part of the district to pay what I am worth, to pay me what you would probably have to pay an equivalent replacement for me."
Last fall, Kris Nielsen, who had moved to North Carolina specifically for a teaching job after years teaching in New Mexico and Oregon, wrote, "I am quitting without remorse and without second thoughts" because:
I refuse to be led by a top-down hierarchy that is completely detached from the classrooms for which it is supposed to be responsible.In spring 2012, the "worst eighth-grade math teacher in New York City" decided to leave teaching. Not much of a loss if she was the worst, right? Yeah, well, Carolyn Abbott was teaching at a gifted-and-talented school, where:
I will not spend another day under the expectations that I prepare every student for the increasing numbers of meaningless tests.
I refuse to be an unpaid administrator of field tests that take advantage of children for the sake of profit. [...]
I'm tired of watching my students produce amazing things, which show their true understanding of 21st century skills, only to see their looks of disappointment when they don't meet the arbitrary expectations of low-level state and district tests that do not assess their skills.
The material covered on the state eighth-grade math exam is taught in the fifth or sixth grade at Anderson. "I don't teach the curriculum they're being tested on," Abbott explained. "It feels like I'm being graded on somebody else's work."Abbott left teaching to go to graduate school in mathematics.
The math that she teaches is more advanced, culminating in high-school level algebra and a different and more challenging test, New York State's Regents exam in Integrated Algebra. To receive a high school diploma in the state of New York, students must demonstrate mastery of the New York State learning standards in mathematics by receiving a score of 65 or higher on the Regents exam. In 2010-11, nearly 300,000 students across the state of New York took the Integrated Algebra Regents exam; most of the 73 percent who passed the exam with a score of 65 or higher were tenth-graders. [...]
How do her students perform on the content that she actually does teach? This year, the 64 eighth-graders at Anderson she teaches are divided into two groups, an honors section and a regular section. All but one of the students in the honors section took the Regents Integrated Algebra exam in January; the other student and most of the regular-section students will take the exam in June. All of the January test-takers passed with flying colors, and more than one-third achieved a perfect score of 100 on the exam.
It's relatively rare that a teacher's decision to leave the classroom gets much attention. But if we're concerned with keeping good teachers and making it easier to become a good teacher or to stay a good teacher through years on the job, it's worth paying attention to what teachers say as they're leaving the profession—just as we should be listening to them as they struggle to keep teaching. Right now, we have a lot of terrible policies that have been imposed from above, through big money and high-powered PR strategies. Let's start including teachers' voices in making education policy, before they're on their way out the door.

China trains Myanmar police to fight drug menace
BEIJING (Reuters) – China police are teaching Myanmar
officials kung fu and Mandarin as part of training in how to
crack down on drug trafficking, state media said on Tuesday.
The one-month training course, held at a police college in
China's southern Yunnan province which borders Myanmar, will
also teach officials about the "global anti-drug situation" and
drug-testing methods, Xinhua news agency said.
"We really treasure this training opportunity in China and
we will work hard here," Xinhua quoted captain Shwe Nyar Maung,
a Myanmar official, as saying.
Xinhua said 160 Myanmar officials had been taught by the
China has become increasingly concerned about drugs flowing
across the border from military-ruled Myanmar, which along with
Thailand and Laos, is home to the lawless, opium-producing
region, the "Golden Triangle."
In the lead-up to Monday's International Anti-Drug Day,
China launched a major publicity campaign to raise concern
about increasing levels of drug trafficking and championing a
new crackdown.
Xinhua reported that China had executed four heroin
traffickers on Monday for importing heroin. Last year, China
arrested nearly 60,000 people for drugs offences, it said.

|Indicator Definition
|The Deep Lake surface level indicator is defined as the depth below sea level
of the surface of Deep Lake in the Vestfold Hills.
University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania Details
|Theme Area
|Indicator Type
|Criteria the
Indicator Satisfies
|The following 7 out of 15 criteria
|Date Input
|Daily measurements
|Monitoring Location
Deep Lake Details
Geographic Coverage is
Longitude (78.1958 to 78.1958)
|Rationale For Indicator Selection
|Deep Lake is the most saline of the lakes of the Vestfold Hills, and due to
its salinity, has never been known to completely freeze. It is the only major
lake in Antarctica with this characteristic, which makes it a prime candidate
for monitoring water levels. This was recognised many years ago, and the water
level has been monitored on a monthly basis since 1976. This 25-year long
database is one of the longest non-weather records of the natural environment
in Antarctica. Significant changes in the water level have been observed over
this time.
The water level is related to water balance, that is the difference between
inputs by direct precipitation or from melt of snow banks in the drainage
basin, and losses, which include evaporation when the lake is ice free and
ablation when it ice covered.
Net loss terms are thought to be relatively constant from year to year, and
therefore water level is a measure of net precipitation. This may be direct
(falling within the drainage basin) or indirect (initially falling elsewhere,
but blown into the drainage basin by strong winds).
The water level of Deep Lake is a technologically simple measure of an
important parameter. The long existing database should be continued, and means
that all data collected can immediately be put into a long-term view.
|Design and Strategy For Indicator Monitoring Program
Spatial scale: Deep Lake in the Vestfold Hills near Davis Station Antarctica.
Selection of Monitor. One member of the wintering group at Davis each year
will be designated the Deep Lake monitor, preferably during pre-departure
training. This person should discuss the project with the indicator custodian,
and be comfortable with the requirements of the position prior to leaving for
Antarctica. In the past, the person responsible for the measurements has often
been a non-scientist who otherwise would not normally get off base regularly.
This role provides a mechanism by which non-scientists can become involved in
a long term scientific program.
If at all possible, there should be a joint visit to Deep Lake by the outgoing
and incoming monitors over summer so that details of the location of the pole,
method for reading and input of the data into SIMR can be passed on. It is
recognised that this may not be possible during changeover, but if the
monitors share a longer period together on base, such a visit to the lake
should be made.
If the Deep Lake monitor has to leave Davis before winter, or no longer feels
he or she is able to fulfil this role, another expeditioner should be
designated to maintain continuity of the record.
Frequency: Readings of the surface level of Deep Lake should be taken monthly,
preferably within the last few days of any month. A week prior the end of the
month, an email will be sent to the Deep Lake monitor reminding him or her
that a measurement is due. If no data has been input into the SIMR system by
the end of the month, another email will be sent, which will be copied to the
Station Leader. This formal monthly reading does not preclude other visitors
to the lake recording data. Any expeditioners visiting the lake should be
encouraged to record data and pass it on to the designated monitor for
inclusion within SIMR. If readings input appear to be in error, the Indicator
Custodian will contact the monitor and either work out the problem or request
another measurement be made.
Technique: Water level is measured by use of a marked pole located near the
edge of the lake, which is in turn tied in to a nearby, accurately surveyed,
benchmark. The pole is marked in at 1 cm intervals, and should be read to the
closest centimetre. At least two expeditioners should make independent
estimates of the water level, which are then compared and a consensus
reached. This value, which is a relative, rather than direct measure of the
water level of Deep Lake, is input into the SIMR system. While at the lake,
note should be taken of the state of the pole. If any change in the position
of the pole has occurred since the last visit, an email should be sent to the
Indicator Custodian, giving details.
The position of the pole should be checked on an annual basis over summer.
This process can be done by surveyors, or, if none are available at Davis, by
expeditioners after consultation with the Indicator Custodian and the Mapping
Officer, Antarctic Division.
On the 22 Feb 2000, the base or zero reading of the "Tide Pole" at Deep Lake
was 51.333 metres below sea level. To derive the water level of Deep Lake
below mean sea level, the water level reading on the "Tide Pole" is added to
-51.333. Note that this is a negative value so any water level readings will
produce a smaller negative number.
|Research Issues
|The annual cycle in water level can be readily explained, but longer-term
variations are more difficult.
The input and output terms are understood, but how these are controlled by the
weather is less clear. Analysis of the water level data as well as weather
data from Davis station currently underway should clarify the situation.
Temporal range of the available data, as described by the metadata record, is from 01-Jan-1976.
Timespan: 19-February-1977 to 1-April-2015.
Number of data points: 691.

Deep Lake: Water level
|Data Quality, Interpretation and
Analysis of Indicator Data
| '
Water level in closed lakes (i.e. those without a surface outlet) of the Vestfold Hills has varied markedly over the last thirty years. For example, the surface level of Ace Lake rose by about 2 metres between 1974 and 1994. Measurement of changes in the water level in most of the closed lakes is confounded by the presence of ice for approximately 11 months of the year. Retrieving actual water level in the presence of ice is possible, but difficult, and so only long-term changes can be identified.
The nature of the dataset makes it easy, at least at an initial level, to interpret. Changes in water level are clearly visible, and the graph of the data lends itself to presentation on the web, particularly due to the length of the dataset. There is an annual cycle in which the water level drops during winter, and increases again during summer. This is due to the cooling of the water, as well as decreased water input in winter. Relatively warm temperatures in summer result in thermal expansion of the water of the lake, as well as melt of snow banks in the drainage basins. Longer-term variations also occur. The lake rose by about 1 m between 1976 and 1988, when it began to fall again. This period of decrease in level may have ended in 2000.
More detailed analysis of the dataset to 2000 is currently underway. It is relatively straightforward to remove the annual variation mathematically to get a less noisy curve. The annual cycle in water level can be readily explained, but the longer-term variations are more difficult. The input and output terms are understood, but how these are controlled by the weather is less clear. Analysis of the water level data as well as weather data from Davis currently underway should clarify the situation.

I got a mail from youtube that i have to show documentation that i payed the right amount for every music file i used on the site. I'm really confused about this since it applies to maybe a fourth of my video's but these are the most viewed etc..
Anyone that has experience about this that could shed some light on the issue? I'm really confused what i am suppose to send them as proof.
In my experience on Youtube messages like these require you to take no action, if the music is copyrighted and is an issue, Youtube will take it down, otherwise the audio might be automatically disabled or not available in some countries. I wouldn't worry about it.
I know about that one but this is a mail that excludes me from making revenue on my video's because there is doubt that i don't have the appropriate licenses for the music.. I purchased/used them from audiojungle and i note them all in the description as well.. so i'm a bit confused.
Since you have purchased those files from Audiojungle you can simply go to your e-mail and look up those purchase confirmation mails from Envato. Each of them has a link called Licence Certificate, it's a downloadable txt file which contains all the purchase info and shows that you own rights to use the song in your video Just send them to Youtube and they should be pleased.
Guess thats the only thing i can do then, thanks. I was aware that i had these text files but it doesn't say what amount i paid etc, since they where asking for those details what i found really odd i figured id ask the vets around here for a alternative solution maybe. It might also be that i use the watermarked version for most of the project to protect the audiojungle authors from rips etc. Thanks again.
Youtube don't care. I uploaded a video of my OWN song (Here). And they disabled revenue sharing and haven't bothered in the least to reply to my last two emails about trying to get revenue back on. Youtube don't care about you or your videos.
at the same time they promote on youtube frontpage people that makes money with stuff that they never paid for. Like just stealing other people videos and making funny faces.
I got mail that 6 of my videos on tube has been removed from revenue sharing although I don't know how earn by youtube

The Santa Clarita City Council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution Tuesday night to not levy the voter-approved special tax dedicated to fund library services, effective Fiscal Year 2011-12.
The Library Ad Hoc Committee and staff determined that levying and collecting the special library tax approved by City of Santa Clarita voters in 1997 is not needed to operate the Santa Clarita Public Library to implement all of the planned service improvements and to repay all public library start-up costs within ten years.

Those improvements include:
- Increasing the operating hours of the Canyon Country and Newhall libraries by 10 hours each week.
- Opening the Canyon Country and Newhall libraries on Sunday.
- Enhancing the local collections of library materials by increasing the budget.
- Increasing the number of titles available by nearly 90,000 titles through participation in the Inland Library Network partnership of 8 independent library systems.
- Implementing new customer service technology such as radio frequency identification (RFID)
- Building and fully staffing and stocking library materials the new library in Old Town Newhall.
In regards to the above mentioned RFID, the City Council approved a contract with Integrated Tech Group in the amount of $312,112 for the purchase, installation, and integration of a new Radio Frequency Identification check-out and security system.
A 10% contingency cost added to the contract, plus $45,000 dollars needed for a Public Computer reservation system brings the cost total to $338,323.
Members of the public decried the hit to the general fund which could be better spent elsewhere and called the forthcoming facility in Newhall a 19th century library that will be obsolete before it's paid for.
In related library news, wresting control of the libraries from the county necessitated the appointment of a five member board of library trustees to manage the new Santa Clarita Public Library.
The City Council was given the responsibility of making the appointments and chose – themselves.
Despite calls from the public to appoint an independent body, City Attorney Joe Montes assured the City Council that there was no prohibition in Education Code and that many cities follow a similar path. He added that the trustees could earn a $50 per diem for library business, however, staff recommended they not accept.
Councilmember Bob Kellar, obviously uncomfortable with the self appointment, said, "The situation begs for the community to staff this rather than the council." He stated it would create transparency.
Mayor Marsha McLean defended the action saying the council wanted to make sure their promises to the city were followed through.
The council agreed to revisit the issue and would look at transitioning to a public board of trustees on July 1, 2012, after the libraries have been up and running for a year.
The motion was approved unanimously.

Their domestically-raised, hand-massaged Kobe beef is not only the envy of the trade, it's trademarked. But that isn't the only reason the venerable Old Homestead steakhouse has been a New York City landmark for 137 years. "It's consistency on all fronts," says Marc Sherry who, with brother Greg, opened their second location at Borgata. The menu nearly mirrors New York's - and for good reason: "We haven't had an empty seat in quite a few years." proclaims Greg. How's that for consistency?

Froome looks unbeatable in Tour de France quest
Updated: July 15, 2013, 12:41 PM ETAssociated Press
ENTRECHAUX, France -- There appears to be little to stop Chris Froome from reaching the Champs-Elysees on Sunday in the yellow jersey and becoming the second straight British cyclist to win the Tour de France.
After another brutal attack in the mountains on Sunday, Froome leads Bauke Mollema and Alberto Contador by more than four minutes with only six stages left -- four of them suited to him. There is a time trial on Wednesday, followed by three straight days of tortuous climbs in the ...

WHEN General Sonthi Boonyaratkalin, the leader of Tuesday night's coup, rose to become army commander-in-chief in the annual military reshuffle last October, he did not really enjoy the confidence of then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Gen Sonthi built his career at the Special Warfare Command. But he was not considered a member of Thaksin's clique.
Gen Sonthi's appointment was backed by retired armed forces Supreme Commander General Surayud Chulanont and Privy Council President Gen Prem Tinsulanonda. Both serve as advisers to the Thai king.
The army chief - the first Muslim to take the powerful post - was reportedly on his way out and on to an inactive post in the current round of military appointments taking effect next month.
This was a result of frequent differences with Thaksin over a number of issues, including the handling of the insurgency in the Muslim-majority southern provinces.
Gen Sonthi, 59, graduated from Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy in 1969 and was commissioned into the Royal Army Infantry Corps.
He went on to lead several top units, including the elite Special Warfare Command.
When the country's political conflict worsened recently, Gen Sonthi said: "As a soldier of His Majesty, I would like to help him relieve his worries, and the army will adhere strictly to whatever advice he gives us."
As the political situation worsened, Gen Sonthi repeatedly denied coup rumours stealing headlines and fuelling concerns of civil unrest.
During the past three months, Gen Sonthi was seen with Prem at a number of high-profile social functions and speeches, including Prem's controversial talk at Chulachomklao, calling on cadets to reject corrupt leaders.
Prem likened the military to horses, the government to jockeys and said the king was the real owner of the horses.
Soft-spoken and known for his professionalism, Gen Sonthi shocked the public here and internationally with his admission that security agencies had accumulated "blacklists" of suspected ethnic Malay Muslim militants in the southern provinces.
He stopped short of saying the list was used for targeted killings. Gen Sonthi said the list created misunderstandings, and was an obstacle to national reconciliation. He called for an end to the blacklists.
The army chief has often been singled out by Thaksin whenever serious incidents erupt in southern Thailand. But most analysts see Thaksin as the real obstacle to reconciliation.
The billionaire politician never gave Gen Sonthi a much-needed mandate to deal with the complex command structures of myriad security agencies in the region.
This is expected to be high on Gen Sonthi's agenda even amid the political turmoil in Bangkok. – The Nation / Asia News Network

HTC QuattroCompareHTC Quattro is rumored to be a quad-core Tegra 3 tablet featuring a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1280x768 pixels, all showing off the gorgeous new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The quad-core Tegra 3 chip is the main driving force but it's also helped by 1GB of RAM, all while keeping a slim profile of less than 0.35" (9mm). This puts in iPad 2's league and while it might miss the world's thinnest title, it's still impressively slim. When it comes to connectivity, the HTC Quattro packs quite a punch with the latest Bluetooth 4.0 supporting low-power specification, 5GHz Wi-Fi and a full set of sensors. It's also a treat to your ears with tipped Beats Audio support and expected to come with a pair of both speakers and headphones. We're yet to hear whether the Quattro will benefit from 5 gigs of free Dropbox storage or HTC Scribe stylus input, but odds are it will. It takes a cut in the camera department with only a 2-megapixel snapper on the rear and 1.3-megapixel camera up front, but that doesn't seem like a huge loss for a tablet.

British Airways chief executive Willie Walsh was in bullish mood addressing a packed Aviation Club in central London yesterday. In a wide-ranging, and at times very funny, address, Walsh tackled a number of themes:
- BA/AA/Iberia transatlantic JV antitrust approval – confident it will be confirmed in the very near future
- Cabin crew dispute – calls new offer to cabin crew fair and reasonable
- UK air passenger duty - wants the tax scrapped when aviation enters EU (or a global) emissions trading scheme.
But problably the constant theme was his steadfast belief the UK carrier would continue to compete effectively and grow despite the capacity restraints in London's airport infrastructure. For more on this, read my story here on how he believes BA's merger with Iberia through the creation of the International Aviation Group holding company will position it to exploit further consolidation opportunities.
One of the interesting aspects touched on by Walsh during the Q&A after his speech was in response to a question about the competitive threat posed by the mega Middle East carriers. Here was his take on it:
"The challenge in the Middle East is whether it can sustain three large global carriers. I struggle to see how you can create three global hubs so close to each other. It has never been done before. That is not to say it can't be done, but the ambition there is very, very large by any scale. I think the next five years will tell a lot.
But the good thing about it is I think the carriers in Europe are wide awake to the challenge it represents and we are not sitting back waiting for something to break. We are taking action today to make sure we are in a position to compete effectively on a global scale with those carriers.
We've got to respond, and respond in a positive way, and not be like the industry was when Ryanair appeared on the scene. We all laughed, we all said it wouldn't work
We've got to make sure we treat these ambitious carriers with respect and do whatever is necessary to make sure we compete with them.
We believe we can offer global reach, which they cannot yet do. The problem we face [in the UK], and its not a problem most of my European counterparts face, are concerns about the infrastructure. We can compete I believe effectively for a few years, maybe ten years. But 20 years? The UK is going to be bypassed because it won't have the infrastructure to support the demand that exists. That is something the Government needs to be awake to and I'm not sure it's recognised yet. The decisions taken today are critical for the future of this country and economy."

Critical Review by Mel Watkins
SOURCE: A review of The Speeches of Malcolm X at Harvard, in New York Times Book Review, April 13, 1969, pp. 24-5.
In the following review, Watkins asserts that The Speeches of Malcolm X at Harvard effectively conveys the essence of Malcolm X's "radical viewpoint" and "approach to the racial problem."
Malcolm X, prior to his death in 1965, found most of his support in the urban ghetto masses. His growing posthumous appeal to the élite of the black community reflects the pervasive character of the black man's militancy; Malcolm X has become, to many black Americans, the symbol of manhood. This volume, [The Speeches of Malcolm X at Harvard,] includes, in addition to Malcolm's Harvard speeches, an introductory "inquiry" into the validity of the militant's radical viewpoint.
The most interesting aspect of the Harvard speeches is the discernible shift in position which occurs between Malcolm's initial appearance as Muslim minister in 1961 and his last appearance, following a pilgrimage to Mecca in December of 1964. His perspective remains racist and violent (he had not yet publicly adopted the more humanitarian stance taken shortly before his assassination), but his polemics had moved from a sectarian religious foundation to a more realistic secular one. Excepting the first, the three speeches are presented in their entirety. Archie Epps's minor editing does not detract from the wit and high rhetoric of the original transcripts; and Malcolm's direct, albeit sometimes logically extenuated, approach to the racial problem is clearly shown.
Epps's long introduction, while more reasoned than the speeches, is often more obscure. He points out the ultimate uselessness of Malcolm's call to violence and shows the extent to which his early experiences, particularly his hustler background, influenced his radical viewpoint. He also incisively notes that Malcolm's true legacy is the sense of racial pride that he left with the black man.

I have noticed that when I try to login to envato network website such as Videohive or Themeforest the captcha code is very small and hard to read from a sight-impaired sort of view. I understand that for both security and safety we need that to keep things like Spam or some other horrid thing, But could the code be re sized just a tad so I and other people such as myself can more effectively and easily access the site.
Thanks for your time.
You know what i noticed with captchas that are impossible to read? First off that they suck! Second; and this one might actually help out – that you don't need to write the 2 words most of the time, the first word is enough most of the time to log in, at least this is what i have been noticing.

Gov't pay review may be needed–Recto
MANILA, Philippines—If the new appropriation for hazard benefits proposed in the P2.26-trillion 2014 national budget isn't enough to keep the country's weather men from leaving for better pay abroad, it may be time to review the government's salary structure, Sen. Ralph Recto said Saturday.
Recto, the Senate President Pro Tempore, said the proposed budget for next year already provides for substantially increased hazard pay for civilian government employees and hiked benefits under the Magna Carta for Science and Technology.
He also mentioned four new appropriations for hazard and hardship benefits.
"At the rate weather forecasters are leaving the Philippine area of responsibility, we may end up with no one alarming us that a typhoon is coming," Recto said.
Recto, also the chair of the Senate committee on science and technology, made the statement after another forecaster, Ricky Fabregas, was reported to have left the weather bureau Pagasa to accept a P100,000-a-month job in the Congo.
"If the problem is in the delay of the release of the benefits of Pagasa people, then I am confident that the [Department of Budget and Management], being the main preacher of the gospel against red tape, will resolve it soonest," he said.
Recto said the 2013 budget provided for P51.8 million in hazard pay for government personnel outside the uniformed services and P183.7 million in benefits under the Magna Carta for Science and Technology.
He added that under the proposed 2014 budget, the benefits would increase substantially with the total allocation for hazard pay rising to P832 million and the Magna Carta for Science and Technology benefits up to P224.6 million.
"The good news is that four new 'hazard and hardship' allowances for civilian employees have been created in the 2014 budget," Recto said.
He said the 2014 budget provides for an allocation for hazard-duty pay at P1.3 billion; high-risk duty pay, P893,000; hazardous-duty pay, P586 million; special-hardship allowance, P1.17 billion.
"I think the restructuring and right-sizing of the hazard-pay allocations stem from the redefinition of what constitutes a hazard. And the creation of different shades of hazard pay should be welcomed by those in high-risk jobs," Recto said.
"Thus I hope that the perennial compensation issues confronted by personnel at Pagasa and similar agencies would be solved by the new allocations in 2014," he said.
Recto said that if not, "we will call all stakeholders to the Senate and we will ask them for solutions, legislative in kind, if necessary, on how to prevent technical people from leaving mission-critical posts like air traffic controllers and weather forecasters.
"Perhaps, this will be what I will first tackle as chair of the committee on science and technology—how to stop this conversion of government technical people into [overseas Filipino workers]," Recto said.
"If we need to review the pay classification of the Salary Standardization Law III or special provisions or additional allocations in the General Appropriations Act, we will discuss that," he added.
Recto said the government can't keep its work force from seeking greener pastures abroad if it can't meet their need for better pay.
"Talent has the right to go where the money is. Talented people have the right to happiness. If the pay here is really low, you can't issue a hold-departure order against them," Recto said.

Hi paul. Was wondering if you could answer a few questions. First is that I'm playing 3.47 and I notice when I cycle through planes and come back to mine, i lose any and every key binding. I have an intel i5 quadcore, 16bg of ram, and a really good video card. What is causing this lag? Also I noticed that 3.48 doesn't have alot of the same planes 3.47 had in payloads and data. Like the B-26 is gone and the ki-44. any reason for that?

Hi Paul, I have noticed Stonehouse's "Defence of Darwin" is out of date and no longer works due to a change in the Darwin map
I have fixed it so it now works with the latest version of the map and with the DBW mod. Is there an email I can send it to you for posting here?

None of the newer supply convoys will actually repair friendly area defenses, but they should all bolster the troop values.
I have no plans to update Tailspin's PDF at this time, but I'd be more than happy to see someone else take it on.
on 12 Dec 2014: 23:48
Hi, Paul.
Was reading over Tailspin's PDF detailing everything about DCG, and had a couple questions. First, the docu
ment mentions that the ground supply convoys Type I and II (and the alternate Types I and II for the Japanese) are the only supply convoys that can resupply friendly areas they visit. Since that was written, a myriad of new supply convoys have been introduced to the game over a series of later patches. Can those newer supply convoys (especially the larger German 30 ton, 60 ton, and company-level convoys) do the job of resupply in DCG, with the corresponding level of resupply points matching the number of trucks in those convoys? Or is it still just the Types I and II only, with the newer convoys only serving as eye-candy?
Second, will there be an addendum for the PDF that details many of the newer aspects of the game than can be implemented in DCG?
Thanks again!

As for your squadron, assuming you are the squadron leader or lead flight leader, it doesn't matter to other flights. They'll still fly their assigned missions no matter what you want. Not sure there's a way around that.

I'm going to guess that Croydon is a prime target for the Luftwaffe (being an airfield?) so it will be heavily defended. If the Luftwaffe actually get through and damage it, it'll reduce it's popularity.
The other thing you can do, is add more targets elsewhere. Wagon8s are good distractions for the Luftwaffe bombers.

One more thing. I have 8 or more squadron aircraft on the runway at takeoff but I always end up with just my own flight of four. The rest seem to have a mind of their own.

My BoB campaign is progressing through testing. I've set the mission preference to "Defence" which works well although I keep getting "Protect Croydon", "Patrol Croydon", "Intercept bombers heading for Croydon". I'm using the Channel map with HSFX. I know that DCG wasn't designed for the mods but I don't think my missions always being Croydon has anything to do with that. Can you suggest something that would provide more "targets" than just Croydon? Thanks.

Hi tomaz. Try setting the all the JU52 armament to "default" (or "none") on the Aircraft Class Settings panel.

I'm progressing with a BoB online coop campaign. My JU52 "supply" plane despite being based in the middle of France seems to always spawn over England. What can I do to prevent this? Thanks.
