he authorities believe he slipped across the United States-Mexico
border sometime during the summer of 2016, likely deep in the
night. He carried no papers. The crossing happened in the rugged
backcountry of southeastern Arizona, where the main deterrent to
trespassers is the challenging nature of the terrain—not the metal
walls, checkpoints, and aerial surveillance that dominate much of the border.
But the border crosser was des-
ert-hardy and something of an expert
at camouflage. No one knows for cer-
tain how long he’d been in the United
States before a motion-activated cam-
era caught him walking a trail in the
Dos Cabezas Mountains on the night
of November 16. When a government
agency retrieved the photo in late Feb-
ruary, the image was plastered across
Arizona newspapers, causing an imme-
diate sensation.
The border crosser was a jaguar.
Jaguars once roamed throughout
the southwestern United States, but
are now quite rare. A core population
resides in the mountains of northern
Mexico, and occasionally an adventur-
ous jaguar will venture north of the bor-
der. When one of these elusive, graceful
cats makes an appearance stateside,
Mrill Ingram is The Progressive’s online media editor.

Artists Ana Teresa Fernández in Agua Prieta, Mexico, and Jenea Sanchez in Douglas, Arizona, worked with dozens of community members to paint sections
of the border fence sky blue, “erasing” it as a symbolic act of resistance against increasing violence and oppression of human rights along the border.

“We’ve had positive identifications
of seven cats, alive and well, in the last
twenty years in the United States,” says
Diana Hadley of the Mexico-based
Northern Jaguar Project, which works
with people in both countries to pro-
tect the big cat. One of those cats be-
came known as El Jefe, after he took
up residence in 2011 in the Santa Rita
Mountains south of Tucson, Arizona.
His presence was proof that the United
States still had enough wild habitat to
support a jaguar.
The new cat was especially excit-
ing because, based on size and shape,
observers initially thought it might
be female. “A lot of people in Arizona
would be very happy to have jaguars
from Mexico breeding in Arizona,” re-
marks Hadley.
In September 2017, the Arizo-
na-based Center for Biological Di-
versity released new video of the cat,
apparently a male, caught on a mo-
tion-triggered camera ambling through
the oak scrub forest in the Chiricahua
Mountains. He’s been named Sombra,
or Shadow, by schoolkids in Tucson.

4.1 EXPLORING INCENTIVE PAY
4-1 Explore the incentive pay approach.
Incentive pay
(http://content.thuzelearning.com/books/Martocchio.7916.16.1/sections/bm01#bm01goss212) or
variable pay
(http://content.thuzelearning.com/books/Martocchio.7916.16.1/sections/bm01#bm01goss462)
rewards employees for partially or completely attaining a predetermined work objective.
Incentive or variable pay is defined as compensation, other than base wages or salaries that
fluctuate according to employees’ attainment of some standard, such as a preestablished
formula, individual or group goals, or company earnings.
Effective incentive pay systems are based on three assumptions:
Individual employees and work teams differ in how much they contribute to the
company, both in what they do as well as in how well they do it.
The company’s overall performance depends to a large degree on the performance of
individuals and groups within the company.
To attract, retain, and motivate high performers and to be fair to all employees, a
company needs to reward employees on the basis of their relative performance.
Much like seniority and merit pay approaches, incentive pay augments employees’ base pay,
but incentive pay appears as a one-time payment. Employees usually receive a combination
of recurring base pay and incentive pay, with base pay representing the greater portion of
core compensation. More employees are presently eligible for incentive pay than ever before,
as companies seek to control costs and motivate personnel continually to strive for exemplary
performance. Companies increasingly recognize the importance of applying incentive pay
programs to various kinds of employees as well, including production workers, technical
employees, and service workers.
Some companies use incentive pay extensively. Lincoln Electric Company, a manufacturer of
welding machines and motors, is renowned for its use of incentive pay plans. At Lincoln
Electric, production employees receive recurring base pay as well as incentive pay. The
company determines incentive pay awards according to five performance criteria: quality,
output, dependability, cooperation, and ideas. The company has awarded incentive payments
every year since 1934, through prosperous and poor economic times. In 2014, the average
profit sharing payment per employee was $33,984.
Coupled with average base
pay, total core compensation for Lincoln employees was $82,903. Over the past 10 years,
Lincoln’s profit-sharing payments averaged approximately 40 percent of annual salary.

Introduction
You have come a long way already and are prepared to take the next steps toward becoming skilled in the art of ethical decision making. The first part of this chapter guides you through an inquiry regarding how to know when you are faced with an ethical question instead of (or in addition to) a clinical or legal question. A further question is raised: How do you know whether the situation that raised the question is a problem that requires your involvement? This chapter helps you prepare to answer that question too. You will learn the basic components of an ethical problem and be introduced to two prototypes of ethical problems. We start with the story of Bill Boyd and Kate Lindy.
 The Story of Bill Boyd and Kate Lindy
Bill Boyd is a 25-year-old soldier who lives in a large city. Bill served in the U.S. Army for more than 6 years and was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan for multiple military missions in the past 4 years. During his final deployment, Bill suffered a blast injury in which he sustained significant shoulder and neck trauma and a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress. He was treated in an inpatient military hospital and transitioned back to his hometown, where he moved into his childhood home with his mother.
Kate Lindy is the outpatient psychologist who has been treating Bill for pain and posttraumatic stress. Bill is in a structured civilian reentry program. This competitive program is administered by a government subcontractor; its goal is to help in ...

It seems that this source is arguing the effect of social media on mental health. This source uses this evidence to support the argument: Provided studies focusing on why individuals use social media, types of social network platforms, and the value of social capital. A counterargument for this source is: Studies that focus more on statistical usage rather than emotion connection. Personally, I believe the source is doing a good job of supporting its arguments because it provides an abundance of study references and clearly portrays the information and intent. I think this source will be very helpful in supporting my argument because of the focus on emotional connection to social media and its effects on mental health.

It seems that this source is arguing that social media platforms are not doing enough to eliminate harmful pro-ED posts. This source uses this evidence to support the argument: Information about specific platforms and what they have done to moderate content, links for more information, and what constitutes as harmful content. A counterargument for this source is that it is too difficult for platforms to remove the content and to even find it. In addition, it is believed there may be harmful effects on vulnerable people posting this type of content. Personally, I believe the source is doing a good job of supporting its arguments because it provides opposing viewpoints as well as raising awareness of some of the dangers of social media posts. I think this source will be very helpful in supporting my argument because it provides information on specifically what is being done to moderate this type of content on social media, and what some of the difficulties in moderating are.

NIMH: Opinion or Fact
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) was formed in 1946 and is one of 27 institutes that form the National Institute of Health (NIH) (NIMH, 2019). The mission of the NIMH is “To transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure.” (NIMH, 2019). There are many different mental illnesses discussed on the NIMH website to include Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The NIMH website about ADHD is effective at providing the public general information and meets the criteria of authority, objectivity, and currency.
The NIMH website about ADHD provides an overview of ADHD, discusses signs and symptoms, and risk factors. The NIMH continues with information about treatment and therapies. Information provided by the NIMH is intended for both children and adults. The NIMH concludes on the page with studies the public can join and more resources for the public such as booklets, brochures, research and clinical trials.
As described by Jim Kapoun authority can be identified by who or what institution/organization published the document and if the information in the document is cited correctly (Cornell, 2020). The information on the website is published by the NIMH which is the lead research institute related to mental health for the last 70 plus years (NIMH, 2019). On the page related to ADHD the NIMH references the program of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) and provides a hyperlink to access the resources available with the agency (NIMH,2019). This link can be found under the support groups section in the treatment and therapies. On the website to the right of the area describing inattention the NIMH has a section on research. In this block there is a link to “PubMed: Journal Articles about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)” which will take you to a search of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) published by PubMed on ADHD (NIMH, 2019). Throughout the entire page the NIMH provides sources and hyperlinks to the sources as citations. Based on the reputation of the NIMH and the citations to the source material the website meets the criteria of authority.
According to Kapoun objectivity can be identified looking for areas where the author expresses his or her opinion (Cornell, 2020). Information provided on the NIMH page about ADHD does not express the opinion of the author. The author produces only factual information based on research. The NIMH makes it a point not to mention the names of medications when discussing treatments and only explains the medications fall in two categories stimulants and non-stimulants (NIMH, 2019). In this same area the NIMH provides hyperlinks to the NIMH Mental Health Medication and FDA website for information about medication. The extent at which the NIMH goes to not provide an opinion on the website meet ...

This is an electronic template for papers written in GCU style. The purpose of the template is to help you follow the basic writing expectations for beginning your coursework at GCU. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The first line of each paragraph is indented a half inch (0.5"). The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. One space after punctuation is used at the end of a sentence. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman. The font size is 12 point. When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The formatting should stay the same. If you have any questions, please consult with your instructor.
Citations are used to reference material from another source. When paraphrasing material from another source (such as a book, journal, website), include the author’s last name and the publication year in parentheses.When directly quoting material word-for-word from another source, use quotation marks and include the page number after the author’s last name and year.
Using citations to give credit to others whose ideas or words you have used is an essential requirement to avoid issues of plagiarism. Just as you would never steal someone else’s car, you should not steal his or her words either. To avoid potential problems, always be sure to cite your sources. Cite by referring to the author’s last name, the year of publication in parentheses at the end of the sentence, such as (George & Mallery, 2016), and page numbers if you are using word-for-word materials. For example, “The developments of the World War II years firmly established the probability sample survey as a tool for describing population characteristics, beliefs, and attitudes” (Heeringa, West, & Berglund, 2017, p. 3).
The reference list should appear at the end of a paper (see the next page). It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. A sample reference page is included below; this page includes examples (George & Mallery, 2016; Heeringa et al., 2017; Smith et al., 2018; “USA swimming,” 2018; Yu, Johnson, Deutsch, & Varga, 2018) of how to format different reference types (e.g., books, journal articles, and a website).

First, you will choose one particular organization where you will conduct each of your 15 different observational assignments. Stick with this same organization throughout your coursework. (Do not switch around assignment locations at different organizations or locations.) The reason for continuing your observational assignments at the same organization is to give you a deeper understanding of this particular organization across the 15 different assignments. As you read on, you will get a more complete understanding as to how these 15 assignments come together.
Tip: Many students choose the organization where they are currently working. This works particularly well. If you are working there, you have much opportunity to gain access to the areas that will give you a more complete understanding of the quality of entire service package (the 15 different elements) that the organization offers to its customers.
This is one of a package of 15 different assignments that comprise the Elements of Service, which you will study this term. For this assignment, you will observe elements of service in almost any particular service establishment. A few examples of service establishments would include, but not be limited to these: Hotel, resort, private club, restaurant, airline, cruise line, grocery store, doctor’s office, coffee house, and scores of oth ...

Introduction
You have come a long way already and are prepared to take the next steps toward becoming skilled in the art of ethical decision making. The first part of this chapter guides you through an inquiry regarding how to know when you are faced with an ethical question instead of (or in addition to) a clinical or legal question. A further question is raised: How do you know whether the situation that raised the question is a problem that requires your involvement? This chapter helps you prepare to answer that question too. You will learn the basic components of an ethical problem and be introduced to two prototypes of ethical problems. We start with the story of Bill Boyd and Kate Lindy.
 The Story of Bill Boyd and Kate Lindy
Bill Boyd is a 25-year-old soldier who lives in a large city. Bill served in the U.S. Army for more than 6 years and was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan for multiple military missions in the past 4 years. During his final deployment, Bill suffered a blast injury in which he sustained significant shoulder and neck trauma and a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress. He was treated in an inpatient military hospital and transitioned back to his hometown, where he moved into his childhood home with his mother.
Kate Lindy is the outpatient psychologist who has been treating Bill for pain and posttraumatic stress. Bill is in a structured civilian reentry program. This competitive program is administered by a government subcontractor; its goal is to help in ...

Association of Social Media Use With Social Well-Being, Positive Mental Health, and Self-Rated Health: Disentangling Routine Use From Emotional Connection to Use. Health Education & Behavior, 46(2_suppl), 69S-80S. https://doi.org/10.1177/1090198119863768
It seems that this source is arguing the effect of social media on mental health. This source uses this evidence to support the argument: Provided studies focusing on why individuals use social media, types of social network platforms, and the value of social capital. A counterargument for this source is: Studies that focus more on statistical usage rather than emotion connection. Personally, I believe the source is doing a good job of supporting its arguments because it provides an abundance of study references and clearly portrays the information and intent. I think this source will be very helpful in supporting my argument because of the focus on emotional connection to social media and its effects on mental health.

It seems that this source is arguing that social media platforms are not doing enough to eliminate harmful pro-ED posts. This source uses this evidence to support the argument: Information about specific platforms and what they have done to moderate content, links for more information, and what constitutes as harmful content. A counterargument for this source is that it is too difficult for platforms to remove the content and to even find it. In addition, it is believed there may be harmful effects on vulnerable people posting this type of content. Personally, I believe the source is doing a good job of supporting its arguments because it provides opposing viewpoints as well as raising awareness of some of the dangers of social media posts. I think this source will be very helpful in supporting my argument because it provides information on specifically what is being done to moderate this type of content on social media, and what some of the difficulties in moderating are.

NIMH: Opinion or Fact
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) was formed in 1946 and is one of 27 institutes that form the National Institute of Health (NIH) (NIMH, 2019). The mission of the NIMH is “To transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure.” (NIMH, 2019). There are many different mental illnesses discussed on the NIMH website to include Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The NIMH website about ADHD is effective at providing the public general information and meets the criteria of authority, objectivity, and currency.
The NIMH website about ADHD provides an overview of ADHD, discusses signs and symptoms, and risk factors. The NIMH continues with information about treatment and therapies. Information provided by the NIMH is intended for both children and adults. The NIMH concludes on the page with studies the public can join and more resources for the public such as booklets, brochures, research and clinical trials.
As described by Jim Kapoun authority can be identified by who or what institution/organization published the document and if the information in the document is cited correctly (Cornell, 2020). The information on the website is published by the NIMH which is the lead research institute related to mental health for the last 70 plus years (NIMH, 2019). On the page related to ADHD the NIMH references the program of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) and provides a hyperlink to access the resources available with the agency (NIMH,2019). This link can be found under the support groups section in the treatment and therapies. On the website to the right of the area describing inattention the NIMH has a section on research. In this block there is a link to “PubMed: Journal Articles about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)” which will take you to a search of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) published by PubMed on ADHD (NIMH, 2019). Throughout the entire page the NIMH provides sources and hyperlinks to the sources as citations. Based on the reputation of the NIMH and the citations to the source material the website meets the criteria of authority.
According to Kapoun objectivity can be identified looking for areas where the author expresses his or her opinion (Cornell, 2020). Information provided on the NIMH page about ADHD does not express the opinion of the author. The author produces only factual information based on research. The NIMH makes it a point not to mention the names of medications when discussing treatments and only explains the medications fall in two categories stimulants and non-stimulants (NIMH, 2019). In this same area the NIMH provides hyperlinks to the NIMH Mental Health Medication and FDA website for information about medication. The extent at which the NIMH goes to not provide an opinion on the website meet ...

This is an electronic template for papers written in GCU style. The purpose of the template is to help you follow the basic writing expectations for beginning your coursework at GCU. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The first line of each paragraph is indented a half inch (0.5"). The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. One space after punctuation is used at the end of a sentence. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman. The font size is 12 point. When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The formatting should stay the same. If you have any questions, please consult with your instructor.
Citations are used to reference material from another source. When paraphrasing material from another source (such as a book, journal, website), include the author’s last name and the publication year in parentheses.When directly quoting material word-for-word from another source, use quotation marks and include the page number after the author’s last name and year.
Using citations to give credit to others whose ideas or words you have used is an essential requirement to avoid issues of plagiarism. Just as you would never steal someone else’s car, you should not steal his or her words either. To avoid potential problems, always be sure to cite your sources. Cite by referring to the author’s last name, the year of publication in parentheses at the end of the sentence, such as (George & Mallery, 2016), and page numbers if you are using word-for-word materials. For example, “The developments of the World War II years firmly established the probability sample survey as a tool for describing population characteristics, beliefs, and attitudes” (Heeringa, West, & Berglund, 2017, p. 3).
The reference list should appear at the end of a paper (see the next page). It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. A sample reference page is included below; this page includes examples (George & Mallery, 2016; Heeringa et al., 2017; Smith et al., 2018; “USA swimming,” 2018; Yu, Johnson, Deutsch, & Varga, 2018) of how to format different reference types (e.g., books, journal articles, and a website). For additional examples, see the GCU Style Guide.

Timeliness
First, you will choose one particular organization where you will conduct each of your 15 different observational assignments. Stick with this same organization throughout your coursework. (Do not switch around assignment locations at different organizations or locations.) The reason for continuing your observational assignments at the same organization is to give you a deeper understanding of this particular organization across the 15 different assignments. As you read on, you will get a more complete understanding as to how these 15 assignments come together.
Tip: Many students choose the organization where they are currently working. This works particularly well. If you are working there, you have much opportunity to gain access to the areas that will give you a more complete understanding of the quality of entire service package (the 15 different elements) that the organization offers to its customers.
This is one of a package of 15 different assignments that comprise the Elements of Service, which you will study this term. For this assignment, you will observe elements of service in almost any particular service establishment. A few examples of service establishments would include, but not be limited to these: Hotel, resort, private club, restaurant, airline, cruise line, grocery store, doctor’s office, coffee house, and scores of oth ...

Introduction
An Introduction should be succinct and to the point. Start your Introduction with a general and brief observation about the paper’s topic. Write a thesis statement, which is the “road map” for your paper - it helps your reader to navigate your work. In your thesis statement, be specific about the major areas you plan to address in your paper.
The headings below should guide your introduction, since they identify the topics to be addressed in your paper. The introduction is not a graded part of your rubric but it helps your reader to understand what your assignment will be about. We recommend that you write this part of your Introduction after you complete the other sections of your paper. It only needs to be one paragraph in length.
Analysis and Recommendations
You must answer each of the following questions in your paper. Keep your responses focused on the topic. Straying off into additional areas, even if they are interesting, will not earn additional marks, and may actually detract from the clarity of your responses.

48 Human Resource Management
Introduction
As described in Chapter 2, strategic HRM is a mindset that leads to strategic actions and reac-
tions, either in the form of overall or specifi c HR strategies or strategic behaviour on the part
of HR professionals. This chapter focuses on HR strategies and answers the following ques-
tions: What are HR strategies? What are the main types of overall HR strategies? What are the
main areas in which specifi c HR strategies are developed? What are the criteria for an effective
HR strategy? How should HR strategies be developed? How should HR strategies be
implemented?
What are HR strategies?
HR strategies set out what the organization intends to do about its human resource manage-
ment policies and practices and how they should be integrated with the business strategy and
each other. They are described by Dyer and Reeves (1995) as ‘internally consistent bundles of
human resource practices’. Richardson and Thompson (1999) suggest that:
A strategy, whether it is an HR strategy or any other kind of management strategy must
have two key elements: there must be strategic objectives (ie things the strategy is sup-
posed to achieve), and there must be a plan of action (ie the means by which it is pro-
posed that the objectives will be met).
The purpose of HR strategies is to articulate what an organization intends to do about its
human resource management policies and practices now and in the longer term, bearing in
mind the dictum of Fombrun et al (1984) that business and managers should perform well in
the present to succeed in the future. HR strategies aim to meet both business and human needs
in the organization.
HR strategies may set out intentions and provide a sense of purpose and direction, but they are
not just long-term plans. As Gratton (2000) commented: ‘There is no great strategy, only great
execution.’
Because all organizations are different, all HR strategies are different. There is no such thing as
a standard strategy and research into HR strategy conducted by Armstrong and Long (1994)
and Armstrong and Baron (2002) revealed many variations. Some strategies are simply very
general declarations of intent. Others go into much more detail. ...

Alan Mulally was selected to lead Ford in 2006 after he was bypassed as CEO at Boeing, where he had worked and was expected to become CEO. Insiders and top-level managers at Ford, some of whom had expected to become CEO, were initially suspicious and then outraged when Mulally was hired. They questioned what someone from the airplane industry would know about the car business (Kiley, 2009).
Chair William (Bill) Clay Ford, Jr.—who selected Mulally as CEO—told Ford’s officers that the company needed a fresh perspective and a shake-up, especially since it had lost $14.8 billion in 2008—the most in its 105-year history—and had burned through $21.2 billion, or 61%, of its cash (Kiley, 2009). Because Ford knew that the company’s upper echelon culture was closed, bureaucratic, and rejected outsiders and new ways of thinking, he was not surprised by his officers’ reactions. However, Ford’s managers had no idea that the company was fighting for its life. To succeed, Mulally would need Chair Ford’s full endorsement and support, and he got it.
The company’s biggest cultural challenge was to break down the silos that various executives had built. As we will discuss more in Chapter 4, silos are specific processes or departments in an organization that work independently of each other without strong communication between or among them. A lack of communication can often stifle productivity and innovation, and this was exactly what was happening at Ford.
Mulally devised a turnaround strategy and developed it into the Way Forward Plan. The plan centralized and modernized plants to handle several models at once, to be sold in several markets. The plan was designed to break up the fiefdoms of isolated cultures, in which leaders independently developed and decided where to sell cars. Mulally’s plan also kept managers in positions for longer periods of time to deepen their expertise and improve consistency of operations. The manager who ran the Mazda Motor affiliate commented, “I’m going into my fourth year in the same job. I’ve never had such consistency of purpose before” (as cited in Kiley, 2009, “Meetings About Meetings,” para. 2).
Mulally’s leadership style involved evaluating and analyzing a situation using data and facts and then earning individuals’ support with his determinatio ...

Assignment Three: Purpose of the study and Research Questions
RES 9300
Recently, Autism has become a serious health concern to parents. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2018), about one in fifty nine United States children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder with one in six children developing developmental disability ranging from mild disabilities such as speech and language impairments to serious developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, and autism (CDC,2018). World Health Organization (2019) estimates that 1 in 160 children globally has autism making it one of the most prevalent diseases. Despite the disease prevalence, most population has little knowledge about the disease. Many health practitioners have proposed early care as a means to control the disease effects.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early intervention services can help improve the development of children suffering from autism. This study also aims to explore the general public awareness and perception about autism disorder.
Research Questions
(1) How should service delivery for autistic patients be improved to promote their health? (2) What impact does early intervention services have on development of children suffering from autism? (3) How can public knowledge on autism improve support and care for autistic patients? (4) What effect will early intervention have on patient’s social skills?

Interpretations of Iron Age Architecture Brochs in Society/Social Identity
Archaeology is a historical field which has advanced over the years based on more discoveries still being experienced by the archaeologists who seek them. According to Kelly and Thomas (2010; p.5), the concession that life existed in more ancient times than stipulated by biblical scholars and human culture allowed the archaeologists to dig deeper into genealogical data. Iron Age architecture and social/society identity relate to one another. For instance, the population, based on their identity and perception will construct buildings that directly reflect their beliefs. This essay will discuss these archaeological concepts of Iron Age architecture and society/social identity. Need a paragraph on brochs and how many and where they are across Scotland with patcialur focus on the atlantc region, this is not relevant for masters essay. Must define broch from its architecture and how long it would take to build and note famous ones and note the ones that will be referred to in this essay – this could be Perhaps incorpated into the next paragraph.
Iron Age architecture has over the years been dominated by differing archaeological concepts and debates. It was defined by settlements and settlement structures such as duns, brochs, wheelhouses, hillforts, stone-built round houses and timber. The social and societal identity which is identified through material remains indicates aspects of differentiation, regional patterns and segregation. According to Kelly and Thomas (2010; p.28), people who existed in Iron Age Scotland were isolated. This is demonstrated by the presence of a burial followed by an assembled chariot at Newbridge. Northern and western Scotland have been the source of the well-structured developments that have provided cultural, architectural and social data over time. Maes Howe, which is the largest Orkney burial cairn, located between Stromne ...

Theories of Teaching
Introduction
Theories of learning are typically only useful to adult learning practitioners when they are applied to the facilitation of learning—a function assigned usually in our society to a person designated as teacher or trainer.
A distinction must be made between theories of learning and theories of teaching. Theories of learning deal with the ways in which people learn, whereas theories of teaching deal with the ways in which one person influences others to learn (Gage, 1972, p. 56).
Presumably, the learning theory subscribed to by a teacher will influence his or her teaching theory.
Early on, Hilgard resisted this fragmentation of learning theory. He identified 20 principles he believed to be universally acceptable from three different families of theories: Stimulus–Response (S–R) theory, cognitive theory, and motivation and personality theory. These principles are summarized in Table 7.1.
Hilgard’s conviction in his belief that his 20 principles would be “in large part acceptable to all parties” was grounded in his limited verification process. The “parties” with whom he checked out these principles were control-oriented theorists. In spite of their differences about the internal mechanics of learning, these theorists are fairly close in their conceptualization of the role of the teacher.
Table 7.1 Summary of Hilgard’s principles
Teaching Concepts Based on Animal and Child Learning Theories
Let’s examine the concepts of a variety of theories about the nature of teaching and the role of the teacher. First, we’ll look at the members of Hilgard’s jury. These include Thorndike, Guthrie, Skinner, Hull, Tolman, and Gagné.
Thorndike
Thorndike essentially saw teaching as the control of learning by the management of reward. The teacher and learner must know the characteristics of a good performance in order that practice may be appropriately arranged. Errors must be diagnosed so that they will not be repeated. The teacher is not primarily concerned with the internal states of the organism, but with structuring the situation so that rewards will operate to strengthen desired responses. The learner should be interested, problem-oriented, and attentive. However, the best way to obtain these conditions is to manipulate the learning situation so that the learner accepts the problem posed because of the rewards involved. Attention is maintained and appropriate S–R connections are strengthened through the precise application of rewards toward the goals set by the teacher. A teacher’s role is to cause appropriate S–R bonds to be built up in the learner’s behavior repertoire (Hilgard and Bower, 1966, pp. 22–23; Pittenger and Gooding, 1971, pp. 82–83).
Guthrie
Guthrie’s suggestions for teaching are summarized as follows:
1. If you wish to encourage a particular kind of behavior or discourage another, discover the cues leading to the behavior in question. In the one case, arrange the situation so that the desired be ...

Telecommuting
The hard truth about telecommuting
Telecommuting has not permeated the American workplace, and
where it has become commonly used, it is not helpful in reducing
work-family conflicts; telecommuting appears, instead, to have
become instrumental in the general expansion of work hours,
facilitating workers’ needs for additional worktime beyond the
standard workweek and/or the ability of employers to increase or
intensify work demands among their salaried employees
Mary C. Noonan
and
Jennifer L. Glass
Mary C. Noonan is an Associate
Professor at the Department of
Sociology, The University of Iowa;
Jennifer L. Glass is the Barbara
Bush Regents Professor of Liberal
Arts at the Department of Sociol-
ogy and Population Research

Telecommuting, defined here as work tasks regularly performed at home, has achieved enough
traction in the American workplace to
merit intensive scrutiny, with 24 percent
of employed Americans reporting in recent
surveys that they work at least some hours
at home each week.1 The definitions of
telecommuting are quite diverse. In this ar-
ticle, we define telecommuters as employ-
ees who work regularly, but not exclusively,
at home. In our definition, at-home work
activities do not need to be technologically
mediated nor do telecommuters need a
formal arrangement with their employer to
work at home.
Telecommuting is popular with policy
makers and activists, with proponents
pointing out the multiple ways in which
telecommuting can cut commuting time
and costs,2 reduce energy consumption
and traffic congestion, and contribute to
worklife balance for those with caregiving
responsibilities.3 Changes in the structure
of jobs that enable mothers to more effec-
tively compete in the workplace, such as
telecommuting, may be needed to finally
eliminate the gender gap in earnings and
direct more earned income to children,
both important public policy goals.4
Evidence also reveals that an increasing num-
ber of jobs in the American economy could be
performed at home if employers were willing
to allow employees to do so.5 Often, employees
can perform jobs at home without supervision
in the “high-tech” sector, in the financial sector,
and many in the communication sector that are
technology dependent. The obstacles or barriers
to telecommuting seem to be more organiza-
tional, stemming from the managers’ reluctance
to give up direct supervisory control of workers
and from their fears of shirking among workers
who telecommute.6
Where the impact of telecommuting has
been empirically evaluated, it seems to boost
productivity, decrease absenteeism, and increase
retention.7 But can telecommuting live up to its
promise as an effective work-family policy that
helps employees meet their nonwork responsi-
bilities? To do so, tel ...

INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE ALLEGED BY DAVID Name: Santhosh Muthyapu Course: Computer Security: Foundations Date of Submission: 08/20//2019
The steps ought to have been taken in detecting Industrial Espionage Alleged by David Doe
David Doe was a network administrator for the ABC company. The ABC company ought to have taken various steps in detecting Industrial Espionage alleged by
David Doe. First, it should evaluate threat and risk data as well as log data from numerous sources, intending to acquire information about security that would
enhance instant response to security incidents. The manager should be in place to detect any warning signal. An instance is when David is unhappy since he is
passed over for promotion three times. The vital warning signs that a representative may have incorporates bringing home materials having a place with the
organization, being keen on things outside their duties, mainly that are related to the contender of the organization. However, David is alleged to have duplicated the
company’s research after quitting the company and starting his own consulting business (Ho & Hollister, J2015) To predict risks in the network traffic, and dangerous
malware, the company should install signature and behavior-based detection devices. Advanced Cyber Intrusion Detection enhance this. To enable immediate
response as soon as the alerts of faults, attacks, or misuse indications, there should be a correlation, analysis, and collection of server clients’ logs. For the
integrity of local systems, it is essential to ensure regular checks. It was necessary for intrusion finding (Jin & van Dijk, 2018). This involves an outline of possible
security liabilities in software and operating systems applications. Us ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

he authorities believe he slipped across the United States-
Mexico
border sometime during the summer of 2016, likely deep in the
night. He carried no papers. The crossing happened in the
rugged
backcountry of southeastern Arizona, where the main deterrent
to
trespassers is the challenging nature of the terrain—not the
metal
walls, checkpoints, and aerial surveillance that dominate much
of the border.
But the border crosser was des-
ert-hardy and something of an expert
at camouflage. No one knows for cer-
tain how long he’d been in the United
States before a motion-activated cam-
era caught him walking a trail in the
Dos Cabezas Mountains on the night
of November 16. When a government
agency retrieved the photo in late Feb-
ruary, the image was plastered across
Arizona newspapers, causing an imme-
diate sensation.
The border crosser was a jaguar.
Jaguars once roamed throughout
2. the southwestern United States, but
are now quite rare. A core population
resides in the mountains of northern
Mexico, and occasionally an adventur-
ous jaguar will venture north of the bor-
der. When one of these elusive, graceful
cats makes an appearance stateside,
Mrill Ingram is The Progressive’s online media editor.

Artists Ana Teresa Fernández in Agua Prieta, Mexico, and Jenea
Sanchez in Douglas, Arizona, worked with dozens of
community members to paint sections
of the border fence sky blue, “erasing” it as a symbolic act of
resistance against increasing violence and oppression of human
rights along the border.

usually via a motion-triggered camera,
it may get celebrity status.
“We’ve had positive identifications
of seven cats, alive and well, in the last
twenty years in the United States,” says
Diana Hadley of the Mexico-based
Northern Jaguar Project, which works
with people in both countries to pro-
tect the big cat. One of those cats be-
came known as El Jefe, after he took
up residence in 2011 in the Santa Rita
Mountains south of Tucson, Arizona.
His presence was proof that the United
States still had enough wild habitat to
support a jaguar.
4. The new cat was especially excit-
ing because, based on size and shape,
observers initially thought it might
be female. “A lot of people in Arizona
would be very happy to have jaguars
from Mexico breeding in Arizona,” re-
marks Hadley.
In September 2017, the Arizo-
na-based Center for Biological Di-
versity released new video of the cat,
apparently a male, caught on a mo-
tion-triggered camera ambling through
the oak scrub forest in the Chiricahua
Mountains. He’s been named Sombra,
or Shadow, by schoolkids in Tucson.
Such things will no longer happen if
Donald Trump builds his border wall. If
constructed the way Trump envisions—
thirty feet high and two feet thick with
deep footings—it would “obstruct all
mammals from crossing the border,”
says Hadley. It would block not just jag-
uars but many mammals, toads, and
other small animals and birds that can’t
fly up and over, including roadrunners
and quail. Even bats and insects could
be dissuaded by sudden encounters
with the massive concrete barrier, she
notes. “If he were to construct that wall,
[animal] crossing would stop. Period.”
You could be forgiven, in the wake of Donald Trump’s zeal for
a “great,
great wall” between Mexico and the
5. United States (and dividing tribal To-
hono O’odham land), for perceiving
irony in the excitement over feline
border crossers.
People who live in the borderlands
celebrate the jaguar as a symbol of pos-
sibility for a region with a shared histo-
ry and culture. Viewed from a distance,
the border might seem like a hard edge,
the outer limit of a nation. But many
people who live there call both sides of
the border home, harboring relation-
ships that become all the more dear
amid the vehemence with which they
are denied.
In the border town of Douglas, Ari-
zona, images of jaguars were projected
onto the metal slats of the border fence
this past summer as part of a multicul-
tural and binational celebration with its
sister city Agua Prieta, Mexico. Similar
events took place at the annual Concert
Without Borders, featuring musicians
(and chess players) arranged on either
side of the iron fence. For her project
Borrando la Frontera, or Erasing the
Border, which took place in the spring
of 2016, artist Ana Teresa Fernández
worked with Douglas and Agua Prieta
community members to paint the fence
blue, so that it blended with the color of
the sky and could almost be imagined
to disappear.
6. “The majority of our communi-
ty along the border see themselves as
one,” M. Jenea Sanchez, an artist and
wife of the mayor of Douglas, Arizona,
attests. “Our binational connections are
not only economically driven. We are
interconnected by our ecology, family,
and culture.” Sanchez, like many others
in the region, is committed to celebrat-
ing and sustaining border culture. She
relies on her professional counterparts
just over the border in Agua Prie-
ta, Mexico, a booming town of more
than 77,000 inhabitants. Douglas, an
old mining center, is a quiet town of
16,600 people.
“Douglas would disappear if Agua
Prieta wasn’t there and we weren’t open
to them,” she says. “We always try to
talk about that connection.”
As a child, Sanchez remembers
simply running across the border from
Mexico to visit her aunt. “I guess it was
illegal,” she shrugs. But while she was
in high school, she says, the border un-
derwent major changes. President Bill
Clinton, building his tough-on-drugs-
and-immigration program, passed the
Illegal Immigration Reform and Immi-
grant Responsibility Act of 1996.
Along the Arizona-Mexico bor-
der, miles of new steel fencing were
7. extended out into the desert from the
urban centers of towns like Douglas,
Nogales, and Naco, along with almost
eighty miles of high-intensity lighting.
The number of border patrol agents in-
creased more than sixfold from 1993 to
2004, to a total of about 1,770. Undoc-
umented border crossers were forced
to seek passage in more remote areas,
and the desert became a lethal deter-
rent. Deaths along the Arizona border
alone, according to official U.S. Border
Patrol numbers, went from 104 in 2001
to 271 in 2005.
Sanchez remembers a third wave of
border fortification after the attacks of
September 11, 2001. George W. Bush
more than doubled border security
funding, from $4.6 billion in 2001 to
$10.4 billion in 2006. That’s when he
signed the Secure Fence Act, which
called for 700 miles of pedestrian and
vehicle barrier fencing. Fence con-
struction and fortification continued
under the REAL ID Act of 2005—the
Department of Homeland Security
waived the Endangered Species Act, the
Wilderness Act, the Archaeological and
Historic Preservation Act, and dozens
of other environmental and cultural
protections constituting the largest
dismissal of law in U.S. history.
The 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement and fears of
drugs and crime created another kind
8. of fence. After NAFTA, Mexican bor-
der towns like Nogales, Ciudad Juárez,
and Agua Prieta boomed with factory

10. Mexican side as well as
El Centro on the Unit-
ed States side,” he says.
“My great-grandpa
worked on the railroad
in San Diego, and both
my parents grew up
there. We go to Mexico
every summer for fam-
ily holidays.”
But traversing the
border has changed for
Aceves, who works on public health
projects in the border region. “Some-
times, it feels like a crime to cross,” he
says about his recent interactions with
customs officials. “I feel intimidated. I
was born here, was educated in a U.S.
university, I pay taxes—you don’t get
more American,” he says. “But even I
feel intimidated, like even I could be
deported.”
Celina Valencia also grew up along
the United States-Mexico border, in
Ambos Nogales, or Both Nogales—No-
gales, Sonora, and Nogales, Arizona. “I
didn’t realize they were two different
spaces until I was older, like twelve or
thirteen,” says Valencia, now an epide-
miologist at the University of Arizona.
“I grew up poor and we moved a lot.
One house would be in Nogales, Ar-
izona, and the next would be in No-
11. gales, Mexico.” Food and haircuts were
cheaper in Mexico, she explains, “so we
moved back and forth almost daily.”
“People from the United States have
always gone to towns in Mexico for
their health care,” says Jill de Zapien,
associate dean at the University of Ar-
izona’s Rural Health Office. “It’s a cash
economy of people buying medical care
because of affordability, or some tech-
nology that they might have access to
in one place but not the other.”
While NAFTA has ensured a mas-
sive stream of produce and other Mex-
ican products into the United States,
however, the more informal traffic—
people on a day of shopping, or seeking
a manicure, dentist visit, or other ser-
vice, or just hopping over to see rela-
tives—has dropped steadily. In October
2006, according to U.S. Department of
Transportation data, 1,370,816 person-
al vehicles, passengers, and pedestrians
crossed from Nogales, Mexico. In 2016,
that total dropped to that 851,713.
Bracker’s Department Store, in No-
gales, Arizona, is one of the most recent
losses, shutting its doors in October
after ninety-three years of operation.
“Physically we are in the United States,
economically we are in Mexico,” Bruce
Bracker told a local TV station. “At least
12. 80 percent of our customers come from
northern Mexico.” They had stopped
coming.
These losses are
the prices local bor-
der dwellers have paid
for the country’s fight
against illegal immi-
gration, and its em-
brace of free trade. How
much more damage
can Trump’s proposed
border wall do to these
communities that have
already lost so much?
“¡Michelle Acosta G on z a l e z ! ¡ Pre -
sente!”
“¡Mujer Desconoci-
da! ¡Presente!”
“¡Roberto Bautis-
ta-Lopez! ¡Presente!”
Each member of the
small group takes turns
holding aloft a small
wooden cross and announcing the
name written on it. Many crosses state
simply “Desconocido” for a body never
identified. After pronouncing the name
on the cross, the speaker then lays it
along the edge of the road leading to the
13. border customs checkpoint in Douglas.
It’s part of a weekly commemoration,
led by the binational group Frontera de
Cristo, of those who lost their lives in
the deserts around the border.
Although border apprehensions
have been dropping, deaths are not.
Hundreds of people are continuing to
die along this border from exposure
and other migration-related threats as
border control continues to push mi-
grants to attempt ever more treacher-
“Un-Fragmenting / Des-Fragmentando: An evening of wildlife
illuminations on the
United States-Mexico border” brings attention to how these
barriers impede the flow
of life. Larger-than-life photographs of jaguars and other
species from the Northern
Jaguar Reserve were projected onto the border’s metal barrier,
momentarily reopening
a critical wildlife corridor.

15. Jocabed Gallegos, who coordinates
the Mexican programs for Frontera de
Cristo, has helped make crosses for
thousands of the migrants who have
died along the border. Gallegos trundles
out a different wag-
onload of 180 crosses
each week, rotating
them to commemo-
rate each of the dead.
She says 6,000 people
have died along the
border since 2000.
Passersby give the
small group curious
glances, but few stop
to ask questions. Per-
haps many of them
already know. The
Douglas community
was deeply affected
by the 1997 drowning
of six undocumented
immigrants who had
been caught by a flash
flood in a storm drain
after crawling underground for blocks
from Agua Prieta. The town created a
memorial, which is where Frontera de
Cristo begins its ceremony every week.
“Frontera de Cristo is always in
motion, responding to what is happen-
ing,” Gallegos explains. And recently
16. that has meant creating programs that
help people in the border region believe
their lives have meaning and value. Of
particular concern, she says, are young
people in Agua Prieta who are being
targeted by drug cartels as both drug
runners and users.
Frontera de Cristo started a com-
munity center in Agua Prieta, offering
youth classes on conflict resolution,
self-esteem, and hygiene. The center
serves coffee grown and roasted by Café
Justo, a cooperative started by Frontera
in 2002. “We are creating economic
opportunities so people don’t have to
migrate,” Gallegos says. “The first year
we sold 400 pounds of coffee. Last year
it was 30,000.”
Frontera also runs a cooperative
teaching “sustainability skills”—how
to grow food, harvest water, and raise
livestock in the desert—to women
who arrive in the borderlands from
elsewhere. “All I knew is how to work
in a factory. Here I learn how to work
for us and not just for others,” one par-
ticipant told Gallegos.
Jenea Sanchez, working on a mural
project with Frontera de Cristo, met
several of the women who were part
of the cooperative, and was inspired
17. by the women and their work.
She created seven-foot-tall por-
traits of several of the women, and is
using their stories to create what she’s
titled, “The Mexican Woman’s Post
Apocalyptic Survival Guide in the
Southwest.”
“It’s about food, shelter, livestock,
but also surviving la migra,” she ex-
plains. “It celebrates the women’s
stories and their survival skills in the
desert. My work makes visible their
survival, and asks: At what point do
you decide that, because of hunger or
violence, you are going to attempt to
cross the border? We need to consider,
as fellow human beings, what drives a
person to make that decision?”
According to the Migration Poli-cy Institute, the number of bor-
der walls worldwide has exploded
re cent ly, g rowing
from around fifteen
when the Berlin Wall
fell in 1989 to nearly
seventy today. Large
numbers of people are
fleeing terrorism, war,
and climate change.
Neoliberal econom-
ic policies, like “free
trade” and austerity
18. budgeting, are cre-
ating wealth dispari-
ties that force people
to uproot. While
walls may temporar-
ily block these flows,
history indicates that
people will search for
other ways of crossing
when they have to—
even if they might die trying.
And border walls erase border
culture. Listening to the stories from
border kids like Sanchez, Aceves, and
Valencia, and hearing the dedication
of people like Hadley and Gallegos,
you feel their pride in border culture,
and hear their belief that it can yet be
a welcoming place for people and an-
imals. Those who live on the border
are working to stitch it together with
every trip they make, every conver-
sation they have with people on the
“other side.” Each crossing is a small
act of resistance.
“It’s saddening to see people who’ve
never been on the border try to pass
policy about it,” Aceves says. “I don’t
even know what they see. I wish they’d
Jocabed Gallegos is Mexican coordinator for Frontera de Cristo.
She helped make crosses for
19. each of the thousands of migrants who have died along the
border. Supporters meet in the
McDonald’s parking lot before each weekly ceremony.

National Guard call-up is needed and welcome
Section: News, Pg. 05a
The most fundamental responsibility of government is to protect
its citizens. This is an issue for all governors, but it has added
meaning and complexity for border governors.
For those living with the consequences of Washington's failures,
border security isn't a political issue, it's a personal one. I've
grieved with the widow of a rancher slain by an illegal
immigrant and with the family members of agent Brian Terry,
who was gunned down by cartel members 10 miles north of the
Arizona-Mexico border. I've spent time with parents whose
children's lives were ruined by the drugs smuggled across our
border.
The majority of illegal drugs in this country come through our
southern border. If you know someone impacted by drug
addiction, there's a good chance their last "hit" came from drugs
that flowed through Arizona.
For years, Americans, particularly in border states such as
Arizona, have been calling on the federal government to secure
our border.
It is frustrating to hear the rhetoric from the talking heads on
cable news on this issue. Despite what some may say, our
southern border is not secure. That is the truth, plain and
simple.
That is why I am grateful for this administration's actions to
address border security. The announcement by President Trump
to call up the National Guard to support the mission of the
Border Patrol is needed and welcomed.
Unfortunately, there are those who like to play politics with the
issue. Those of us on the border don't have that luxury. Instead,
while the politicos and pundits are busy shouting at each other,
we are addressing the challenges of managing a state on the
border.
25. We're working to save lives threatened by the hands of cartel
members or by drug addiction -- and the lives of those trying to
cross Arizona's unforgiving desert. States such as Arizona have
stepped up when Washington has failed and spent tens of
millions of our state's taxpayer dollars to supplement the great
work of an understaffed Customs and Border Protection.
But with a border nearly 373 miles -- longer than the entire
length of Pennsylvania -- we can't do this on our own.
Doug Ducey is governor of Arizona.

U.S., Mexico join forces to stem tide of illegal crossings
Alliance has curbed both undocumented workers and drugs
Section: News, Pg. 06a
TUCSON -- A little-known coalition of U.S. and Mexican
police agencies has played a major part in cracking down on
smuggling and illegal immigration along the Arizona-Mexico
border, top Homeland Security officials say.
The joint operation among the U.S. Border Patrol, Mexican
federal police and about 60 U.S. state, federal, tribal and local
police agencies has had dramatic success making drug seizures
and arresting undocumented immigrants, says Alan Bersin,
director of Customs and Border Protection.
Since the Alliance to Combat Transnational Threats launched
quietly in September 2009 with coordinated training,
intelligence-sharing and patrols, the program has resulted in the
arrests of 270,000 illegal border crossers, the seizure of 1.6
million pounds of marijuana and the recovery of $13 million in
cash in the border's Tucson sector.
The area became a funnel point when officials clamped down in
other states along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Bersin said that as the program continues, it will be another
factor in the efforts to help stem the flow of illegal immigrants
and drug smugglers into the United States.
Bersin said this alliance is unique because it includes
cooperative policing from the Mexican side.
David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the
University of San Diego, said collaborating more closely with
Mexico to battle drug trafficking and human smuggling
represents a welcome shift in the way the United States handles
27. border issues.
"The traditional U.S. approach has been one that focuses on
unilateral solutions," he said. "The result is you can't do much
from one side of the border."
Although working more closely with Mexican law enforcement
officials will help the U.S. tackle drug trafficking and human
smuggling, those problems can't be solved through cross-border
enforcement alone.
More emphasis has to be put on reducing drug consumption in
the U.S. and creating jobs in Mexico, Shirk said.
On Tuesday, Bersin said the alliance is part of an overall
campaign to plug the last corridor for contraband and illegal
immigration. He predicted that the cartels "will make a stand
here to try to preserve their smuggling routes."
Bersin said the goal of the alliance and other initiatives is to
manage the border and make it safe.
"Border safety and security does not mean sealing the border to
a point where not one single illegal alien comes across," he
said. "This is perfection to which we do not aspire."

Arizona immigration law: Will it hurt Mexico's drug war, as US
lawsuit says?
Mexico's government applauded an Obama administration
lawsuit brought Tuesday against the Arizona immigration law.
Some analysts here agree with the lawsuit that argues the
Arizona law undermines the drug war. But others say the suit
diverts attention away from a more important goal for most
Mexicans: US immigration reform.
"Mexico expresses its approval of the United States government
decision to try and prevent the SB 1070 law from taking effect,"
said President Felipe Calderon's government, which has been
highly vocal in opposing the Arizona law.
Filed by the US Justice Department in a federal district court in
Arizona, the lawsuit demonstrates President Barack Obama's
commitment to civil and human rights, Mexico's Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee said Tuesday.
The Arizona law makes it a crime to be an illegal immigrant in
the state. It also requires police to determine the immigration
status of a person stopped for other infractions when there is
"reasonable suspicion" the person is an undocumented migrant.
IN PICTURES: The US/Mexico border
While immigrant and human rights groups also expressed
content with the Justice Department's case against Arizona,
some ordinary Mexicans and academics were not enamored.
They saw the suit as mere pre-election maneuvering for the
30. Hispanic vote while a more politically costly immigration
reform stalls indefinitely.
"Immigration is not one of [Obama]'s priorities next to the
recession or the elections," says Pedro Isnardo, presidential
policy analyst at the UNAM university in Mexico City.
"Although he is not minimizing immigration he is now giving it
legal attention because he knows he doesn't have greater
influence in other realms."
The lawsuit comes on the heels of Obama's urgent request to
Congress last week to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
Some security experts in Mexico also said that an argument in
the federal lawsuit claiming the Arizona law will undermine the
drug war by diverting resources away from targeting "drug
smuggling and gang activity" misses the point.
"The priority has always been going after big [criminal] groups.
But without discussing prevention, the [drug] problem will
continue for years to come," says Jose Maria Ramos, public
security expert at the College of the Northern Border in Tijuana
(COLEF).
The lawsuit's argument that a blanket immigration law hurts the
fight against traffickers makes sense to other analysts, however.
"It's easy to understand the legitimate concerns of people in
Arizona about border security, but the measure actually makes
the border far less secure," says Andrew Selee, director of the
Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington.
It will "create fear and distrust of authorities in the minds of
legal foreign nationals and good citizens with illegal status in
Arizona who might be very useful in helping to stop the traffic
of illegal drugs through their contacts in foreigner networks,"
says Malcolm Beith, a freelance journalist and author of a
forthcoming book on the drug war, "The Last Narco."
The suit also argues that only the federal government, and not a
"patchwork" of local entities, can set immigration policy – an
apparent reference to other states looking to pass similar laws.
In addition, the U.S. government says that the law will cause
legal immigrants and visitors to be harassed, and requests an
31. injunction to stop the law from taking effect July 29.
Mexico has strongly condemned the law, filing an amicus brief
last month in a lawsuit brought by major civil rights groups.
Also in June, governors of Mexican border states said they
would not attend this year's Border Governors Conference
unless it was moved from the scheduled location in Arizona.
The boycott led Gov. Jan Brewer last week to cancel the
September meeting, which has reportedly caused a split among
US governors over whether to hold the conference in another
state.
For some Mexicans, the US lawsuit is not a defense of civil
rights, but merely a step the Obama administration is taking to
restrain a state that is overstepping its authority.
"It's not good or bad; it's what they should be doing," said
Francisco Adrian Martinez, a 24-year-old engineering student in
Mexico City.
