Edcouch-Elsa ISD administrators have confirmed parents of one of their high school students reported their daughter had an intimate relationship with a school employee.
Mariachi band Director Homero Gutierrez sent his letter of resignation once police notified the school to begin the investigation.
The Elsa Police Department reports that charges have not been filed against Gutierrez at this time saying they cannot yet comment on the case.
School district officials said they are leaving the investigation in the hands of the police since Gutierrez is no longer an employee.

GSEs Standardize Data for Appraisals and Mortgages
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced July 23 that they have fully adopted the Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset. ULDD falls under the larger Uniform Mortgage Data Program, a joint project the government-sponsored enterprises undertook to standardize data on appraisals and mortgages.
Sam Oliver, Freddie's vice president of single-family customer and technology data offerings, called the adoption a "critical milestone." The ULDD operates under the auspices of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as do all joint GSE efforts.
"Lenders nationwide are using a 'common language' for the loans and appraisals they deliver to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae," Oliver said.
"This is the culmination of several years of hard work, investment and planning across the industry that we could not have accomplished without the collaboration and partnership of our customers, vendors and appraisers," he said.
Oliver noted that the next phase of ULDD already is underway and will support expanded loan-level disclosure for their mortgage-backed securities.

Win tickets to see the smash hit musical Mamma Mia at the Roanoke Civic Center. Two winners will each receive four tickets!
The company is seeking state approval to build a new rehabilitation center on Starkey Road and plans another new independent living building on its Hershberger Road campus.
Thursday, March 7, 2013
Friendship Retirement Community is planning a three-story, 34-unit independent living facility on its campus off Hershberger Road as it plans to cut the size of its nursing home there by moving some beds to a new location.
The company, which filed as Friendship Health and Rehab Center, disclosed the plans in a request for $32 million of funding through the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority, a state agency.
The borrowing would cover the cost of the independent living building and a new nursing home on Starkey Road, as well as funds to refinance earlier borrowings.
Friendship plans to house the 34 independent living units in a new, three-story building on its Hershberger Road campus in Roanoke County. Spokeswoman Nicole Bruch said the company hopes to have the new units available in the spring or early summer of 2014.
Friendship plans to build a 66,000-square-foot facility, with 120 beds, at 5647 Starkey Road. Those beds would be moved from the 373-bed Hershberger Road nursing home, which would allow more residents there to have private rooms.
That plan is still awaiting approval by the state health department.
Friendship has said the new nursing home would cost $16.8 million.
Friendship earlier this year told the Roanoke County Planning Commission that the Starkey Road facility would not be a true nursing home, but would be residential in nature. The aim is to be a short-term rehabilitation facility for patients coping with knee replacements, neurological issues and respiratory problems.
The facility would employ about 60 people, and most patients would stay less than 100 days.

Why I am Voting YES for Proposition 204
Wednesday, September 12th, 2012Writing in his blog, 'Caveat Lector', Mark Evans of the TucsonCitizen.org has come out against Prop 204, the continuation of the 1 cent tax surcharge meant to assist funding for education in Arizona. 1) Speaking from a purely economic viewpoint he argues persuasively against the measure saying that it is the wrong approach to curing the woes of educational funding in Arizona because it ties the hands of the state legislature and forces them to fund education when our economy is weak. He argues that they need the discretionary freedom to decide where funding will be directed. In his defense, let me add that Mr. Evans is not against funding education, but he would rather the populace simply vote out the current crop of lawmakers and elect ones that will adequately fund education in our state.
I'm sorry Mark but I have to disagree with you on several counts.
First, if you had spent every working day in our schools over the last few years you would see the damage that is being enacted upon our educators and the students of our schools.
Let me give an example. For the last two years our school's redoubtable attendance clerk has worked part-time in our library so children can check out books. She performed admirably but use of the library was severely limited. This year I lauded the reopening of the school year because our library had an actual librarian in it. True, the library is only open half-time because we have to share that person with another school but at least we are halfway back to where we once were.
What's even more damaging in this situation is that by adopting the Common Core we have basically put teachers back at square one, or very close to it in creating their curricular materials. The place that is best able to support teachers in this is . . . you guessed it, the library. A recent article by Catherine Gewertz focuses on that exact issue. 2) A library that is only open half-time or worse, shuttered is not going to be as much help to educational growth.
Another reason I disagree with your post is that we have no guarantee that any of these legislators will be voted out. Getting rid of an incumbent has become nearly impossible in our current political system. To sit by and watch them slowly choke the life out of my profession because of their malfeasance without doing anything about it is unacceptable. This is one of the few ways we have to fight back.
When you argue against tying the hands of our legislature I reply that tying their hands is only the beginning of what I would have done to them for their crimes against the children of Arizona. Their attack against public education notwithstanding they have seriously damaged all education services in our state. It is no wonder no major business wants to relocate here.
Finally, because I am a career professional educator I also recognize that my colleagues have taken on more and more responsibilities and duties each year. Now comes the Common Core, an almost entirely new curriculum that will demand more resources to be able to adequately employ it in the classroom. While I am in favor of national standards if they are implemented properly, Rick Hess writing in his blog reports very little correlation between the new standards and typical existing curricular material. 3) Teachers, already stressed in their workplace and by attitudes exacerbated by political posturing are reeling at yet another strike at their professionalism and competency. Our schools have suffered through enough unfunded mandates in the last decade with NCLB and ESEA. The least we can do is try and provide a small increase in resources to assist this transition.
These are just a few reasons why this ReTired Teacher will be voting 'yes' on 204.

WILL Agriculture's mission is to distribute regionally, nationally, and internationally information and analysis of commodity markets and agricultural weather.
by Todd E. Gleason
Commodity prices have dropped dramatically as supply and demand have leveled out. However, cash rents paid to produce crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat are still high. Todd Gleason has more on the potential income prospects for those acres rented at the highest levels.
from will - focus - December 5, 2013
Farmers have been operating for more than a year now without a farm bill. Since the 2008 bill expired, there's been an ideological debate surrounding the funding of certain programs in the farm bill, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. There are currently two versions of the farm bill stalled in Congress, one passed by the Senate and one passed by the House, and if legislators can't come to a compromise by January 1, farm policy written in the 1940's will take effect. This hour on Focus, we'll talk about why there's been such a fight over this year's farm bill and how that differs from farm bills past.
Jonathan Coppess, a Clinical Professor of Law and Policy in the Department of Agriculture Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and former chief of staff to Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow, (D) who worked on the Senate version of the bill and Mary Kay Thatcher, Senior Director of Congressional Affairs for the American Farm Bureau Federation join us.

As resources become increasingly challenging to develop, E&P companies have had to digitize their operations in order to increase available information, utilize analytic software, and allow for real-time decision making. Implemented at various levels by different E&P companies, the concept of digital oilfields has evolved rapidly over the past decade to offer constantly increasing capabilities to a wider range of companies. Smart sensors, advanced transmission networks and powerful analytic software are just some of the components that can result in increased operational visibility, reduced uncertainty and productivity maximization.
The Digital Oilfields Summit hosted by IQPC will bring together industry experts to explore developments in this rapidly evolving field through case study analysis and engaging speaker sessions aimed at providing practical knowledge about how to implement and effectively utilize digital oilfield technology.
Companies in attendance will include upstream oil and gas companies, EPC contractors and technology providers with experts from the following departments:

Norway produced 1.4 million barrels of oil per day in January, down from historical rates of more than 3 million barrels per day at the turn of the century. Production from Norway's giant mature fields is declining and there is a narrowing window of opportunity to extract these resources effectively.
Significant investments and Government support is required alongside technology and innovation, to ensure that the higher cost of extracting hard-to-reach oil is profitable. Some of the best tools we have at our disposal to increase recovery from mature fields are from further field development, and applying technology such as Enhanced Oil Recovery / Improved Oil Recovery Techniques.
With this in mind, Mature Fields Stavanger 2013 will address these challenges through case studies, discussion sessions and interactive panel debates.

The Los Angeles Information Security Forum brings together experienced IT and information security practitioners for confidential information sharing on the industry's most important issues, technologies, and trends. The two-day Forum includes keynote addresses, technical and strategic roundtable discussions led by IANS' Faculty, networking events, and the opportunity to learn about new technologies.
Why Attend
Information Protection is a fast-growing market driven by a new wave of technology, business, and regulatory trends as well as new threats. A top concern with security professionals is the ongoing proliferation of employee-owned devices in the workplace and the realization that, to date, there is no tool that can stop leakage or data from being stolen. While our industry cannot be 100 percent prepared, hope is not lost. Having a good handle on what attackers might want, where your data resides, and who manages protection of it, and what to do when a breach is identified is a good baseline. Layer on top of that industry-leading tools and skilled professionals who understand attackers' ideologies and you are creating a top notch information protection strategy. During the roundtable discussions, experts will walk attendees through a series of strategic exercises that challenge them to think more like an attacker in order to better prepare for the inevitable – some form of corporate data loss.
If asked, most enterprise information security teams would claim that their incident response (IR) strategy is firmly in place. However, when digging deeper into the specificity of the programs that comprise an overall IR plan, even the most mature teams grapple with various elements. Business alignment is key to navigating audit and logging, metrics, and malware response. So too is having the right resources – people, process, and technology – mapped out in advance of any need, be it a board meeting, an external audit, or a full blown security incident. The roundtable sessions of the Incident Response & Planning track will provide attendees actionable insights they can take away to improve their audit and logging function, metrics, and malware response programs.
The Threat Management track is a mixed bag of topics ranging from how to prepare your team, to learning best practices for responding to an incident, and everything in between. One key theme that runs through the whole track is: Be prepared! Use past experiences to guide future learning, think proactively rather than reactively, and understand exactly what is at stake every time you make an information security decision for the entire organization. At the end of the Forum, you will come away with ideas that are new and out-of-the-box rather than thinking about security in the same way they have for years.
This track will bring attendees up-to-date on some of the more pressing legal matters that affect information security teams. It's enough that the infosec community has security processes, technology, and teams to manage, but add to it the growing list of laws and regulatory demands and security professionals are inundated and overwhelmed by the amount of boxes that must be ticked off on a daily basis. Though laws and government involvement are often negatively perceived among the security community, this track will explain how security professionals can turn the negative into a positive in order to better protect themselves from a policy, contractual, and technological standpoint.

Additive manufacturing (AM) — referred to as "three-dimensional" or "3D" printing—is a potential game changer with important implications to the DoD and federal government. The technology allows the "art to part" fabrication of complex objects from a computer model without part-specific tooling or human intervention. Because of its ability to produce a wide variety of objects, AM also can have significant national security and health care implications.
The US government is taking AM seriously and the numbers show this. There are enormous potential benefits to the defense, health and government areas. Specifically, 3D printing provides the chance to build spare parts on demand, maintenance and repair, metal implants and prosthetics. Production times and costs are reduced, lightweight structures can be built and physical inventories can be replaced with digital inventories. With President Obama's recent creation of the National Network of Manufacturing Innovation - which includes $1 billion in funding for FY 2014 - the time is now to discuss the challenges and opportunities for Additive Manufacturing in a government and defense context.

The New NHS Procurement Development Programme: Delivering World-Class Capabilities and Standards Details: Thursday 12th December 2013, Central London, 08:45am - 04:30pm.
Overview In August 2013 the government outlined its commitment to delivering over £1.5 billion of procurement efficiencies within the NHS. With the NHS spending over £20 billion every year on goods and services, ensuring effective and efficient procurement within the NHS is a key priority for the UK government. In May 2012, the government released the NHS Standards of Procurement, alongside NHS Procurement: Raising Our Game. This report identified six areas for improvement: levers for change, transparency and data management, NHS standards of procurement, leadership, clinical engagement and reducing variation, collaboration, and suppliers, innovation and growth. Building on this in August 2013 the government published Better Procurement, Better Value, Better Care: A Procurement Development Programme for the NHS. The report outlines the government's strategy for building a world class, modern and productive procurement capability in the NHS. At a time of great change for the UK's health sector it is imperative that organisations work together to improve transparency, data sharing and clinical engagement.
Objectives This NHS procurement event will provide all delegates with key insights into the government's vision for an improved procurement landscape. Attendees will have the opportunity to examine how to ensure effective clinical engagement, implement greater data use and transparency and build strategic cross sector partnerships.
Audience Delegates will include chief executives, finance directors, heads of procurement, estates and facilities directors, members of clinical commissioning groups, heads of strategy, purchasing and supply managers, and heads of innovation and will be drawn from the NHS and the wider health sector, central government, and the private sector.

Now, however, reliable access to affordable and stable energy supplies poses a significant challenge for the military. This energy demand constrains the capabilities of our ground, air, and sea forces at home and abroad. The DoD has prioritized its responsibility to act in a more sustainable manner and has understood that changing current behavior could enhance military capability and provide considerable cost savings.
"By reducing the Armed Forces' reliance on fuel, we aim to improve warfighting capabilities. We aim to reduce the risk to fielded forces as they move fuel through contested territory. In the process, we believe we will lower costs, promote good stewardship of natural resources, and contribute to national energy goals." — The Honorable Sharon E. Burke, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs

The first annual 2014 Human Systems Conference will provide a forum to increase dialogue between the Human Systems Science and Technology community, Weapon System Developers and System Engineers. The President's January 2012 Strategic Guidance challenges the Department of Defense to be more agile, flexible and ready for the full range of contingencies. The Joint Force will be smaller, leaner, more flexible and more technologically advanced. Achieving these objectives will be particularly difficult with tighter budgets and fewer platforms. As need increases to ensure that every soldier, sailor, airman and marine are properly protected, trained and integrated with their equipment and weapon systems, Human Systems S&T will require new advances and a strengthened partnership with the development communities of air, land, sea, space and cyberspace.

Laurel, MD February 13, 2014
Welcome to the 2014 AFCEA Winter Intelligence Symposium!
In late 2012, the National Intelligence Council (NIC) published its Global Trends 2030 paper, outlining a series of factors that could define the security environment of the mid-third of the 21st century. Several of the paper's themes were far outside the realm of traditional national security issues
The AFCEA Winter Intelligence Symposium will use the NIC paper not to discuss the intelligence environment of 2030, but as a starting point to explore the steps the Intelligence Community (IC) needs to take within the next decade to remain relevant.
Featured speakers including Dr. Christopher Kojm, Chairman, National Intelligence Council; and VADM Michael S. Rogers, USN (invited), Commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, Commander, U.S. 10th Fleet , will provide the context for three focused sessions with 13additional speakers.
Session One will concentrate on where the IC and the Department of Defense (DoD) maintain unassailable technological superiority, where they are in danger of losing their edge, and what needs to be done to prevent others from appropriating the technologies for malevolent purposes. Session Two will address the paradigm shift taking place within the IC today to incorporate more fully non-traditional information and what changes in the IC structure, leadership, and strategic planning are needed to meet the changing expectations of decision makers. The symposium's final session will discuss continuing and emerging challenges in the public-private partnership, to include technical, procedural, and cultural issues that must be addressed in the near term.
In addition, there will be plenty of time for networking and an exhibit area showcasing the latest in intelligence technologies.
We hope you will join us in the Johns Hopkins Kossiakoff Center, Laurel, MD, on February 13, 2014, for the AFCEA Winter Intelligence Symposium!

The three-day event will include featured presentations from the United States Army Materiel Command, the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology).
Historically, the Army has entered conflicts either unprepared or underprepared for the operating environments. The first battles of our Nation's wars have often taught us difficult lessons before our Soldiers and leaders adapted and ultimately prevailed – often at great cost.
A central focus of this symposium is on preparing the Army for an unpredictable global security environment out to the year 2020 and beyond – while continuing the transition from combat operations in the US Central Command Area of Responsibility. This progression must enable our Soldiers to immediately succeed across a wide spectrum of land power operations.
The symposium will explore the concept of "strategic land power" and how the Army will contribute its significant capabilities to the Joint Force of 2020 even as the nation's fiscal challenges drive the Army to be smaller, more agile, and indeed, more capable .
Special emphasis will be devoted to the indispensable role that our industry partners provide to the United States Army. Guest presentations and panel discussions will provide a myriad of information as it relates to the direction and progress of balancing our resources, equipment, personnel, doctrine and training to provide the essential protective umbrella that our nation deserves.
