mentoring program. in other words, you mentor a brand new first officer or captain, he gets tangible benefit, and in turn, is they go this really helped me, i'm going to pass it along to the next guy. the third and final one is the eat or be eaten syndrome, the necessity. >> you're upgrading in nine months, youpd may want to learn something before you get in the left seat. as discussed earlier, the lack of informal mentoring occurs with stagnation, and when progress is made, all the weaknesses are displayed. it manifests itself because when a carrier returns to a short upgrade time, if the captains don't have a mentor mentality, the cycle continues. the only way to break the cycle is to have a strong mentoring program to rein still it. it's like you're planting a seed. there are a few reasons informal mentoring works. a message is much more powerful, you have much less defensive barriers. obviously, the message is more received when coming from a peer. we'd rather be told what we're doing wrong by a bud

he became a friend, mentor, and role model. for me, it is hard to believe he will not be here when i come back in two weeks. i am going to miss mike. he has been such a wonderful person. he is truly a dedicated public servant. the fire commission is extremely lucky to get him. congratulations. [applause] >> mike is part of the institutional memory, helping to put matters in perspective because of his longevity on the commission. i have always admired his loyalty to the port and waterfront and his unflagging energy for everything going on down here. even though he has gotten over a lot of hurdles, he is never lost the spirit for doing the right thing. he is an inspiration for all of us. i am sure he will continue to be even as he gets comfortable in his new role. we wish you all of the best. maybe we will find a reason to have a joint commission meeting at some point. >> i have enjoyed our time serving together for the last four years out of your 16. it offered a very kind act when i first came on board. we shared some time and

complete internships and intentional learning objectives at these placements with the support of mentors. the work experience and workplace internship can be in partnership with the mayor's office of workforce development in the area of retail, health care, information technology, biotech, etc. another important component is that there is a post secondary light planning goal to the workforce -- to the workplace development. so that the students are also developing a post secondary plan. and that also they were connecting to support services so that as we identify additional supports and needs and resources that their students and their family might need that we're aligning those resources with city services also. there we go. >> the effort is really involving three major parties. so there's the school sights and the community organizations which has the expertise around workplace learning and workplacement and then the employers. so the whole model of those three entities is to work together to go design these workplace opportunities. so we've outlined those levels. so the school sights

he had to leave, but john is my eldest, dearest, labor mentor. leroy king from the longshoreman was my mentor, especially after jimmy herman died. jimmy was just the best. the love to sit next to jimmy at meetings, and he was a real guiding force. passing jimmy herman and terry bridges. i hope to see when commissioner brandon passes me. that would be good. he takes second place. i hope i did not leave anybody out. it has been fun. i love it. i loved serving as commissioner. those wonderful people, ernestine white, who probably attended more meetings than any other commissioner, so, ernestine, thank you for all your opinions, and we took it serious. and when tom said earlier that -- we definitely care what he said, but i listened -- no, that is not true. the person on the waterfront that always made the most sense was tom. since he does it from his heart, he does for the right thing, and he will accept any challenge, and, tom, you are the best. i appreciate that. i have to leave now because i'm going to go to susie roth's wake -- memorial service.

the mentoring, the induction, the mastered mentored teachers helping the young teachers through the tougho recruit them, but we also need to retain the great talent in real support in the early years is hugely, hugely important. teaching is a craft. teachers are much better their 20th year. the cost of education and the cost to young people the huge there. >> we're going to go to your part of country, to michigan state university. in east lansing where has been watching with michigan state students. devon, what do you have for us? >> hey there, tom. welcome to michigan state university. spartans are undefeated. they're a little giddy around here, tom. but i think as secretary duncan noes in michigan we feel doubly pinched by this problem trying to make it less reliant on manufacturing. we have a real problem in michigan of losing our best and brightest, hanging onto our young people let me bring out a senior. just about on the launch pad. you question for the secretary. >> you mentioned money as an incentive for inner city teachers to come to the inner city. and, i was wondering what besi

which would culminate in two days a week, tuesdays and thursdays going to an internship who has a mentor further their education. they bring that back to their school. they study all the different subjects within the spca or organizations like that. it's a multilevel organization where you are going to be adding some of your core classes. could be going to college. could be through a workshop at the sight. and it culminates every nine weeks in what they call an exhibition. it's very, very important for students the writing and making a 45-minute presentation every nine weeks. soy think it's going to be great for our students. we've seen the result of that. if you saw the students at matt west that's where we'd like our students to be. so we're really excited about that. >> thank you. >> commissioner kim? >> oh. thank you. since we visited matt west, kind of where we're at in terms of the first six weeks. i'm really excited partnering with big picture. they're doing a great academic studies. i think i talked to someone about this. is it changing a bit? are they staying at principal center

go to his mentors. mentors are edward said.s the guy at columbia, a spokesman for the palestinian national council. so he is an anti-colonialist. the colonial occupiers if you will are israel. another one, of course, is roberto unger. this guy is also the leading anti-colonial legal scholar. then, of course, we have reverend wright, the book that obama wrote "audacity of hope" comes from a sermon that this guy gave. if you heard any of his sermons they all include liberation theology. the idea of the oppressed, and the oppressor. that is it. oppressed could be anywhere, here, africa, israel. but the oppressors are usually europe and the united states. then, of course, bill ayers. sat with barack obama on the board of the woods foundation. anti-colonialism. remember when we went over the weather underground and their manifesto? it was anti-colonialism. that's what they all have in common. from here, to here. anti-colonialism. the idea that are colonizer and the colonized. america or europe and then the third world victims. oppre

martin spends hours mentoring the students, sometimes working on different ranches a day.the end of it all, everyone is dirty and tired but pleased. >> 'm kind of a girly girl. some days i wake up, i'm like, "gosh, i do not want to get dirty today." and by the end of the day, i'm usually covered in something not so pleasant. so, it's always nice to go home and take a good shower afterwards. >> students on the u.c. davis program typically spend much of their 2-year course on a commercial cattle operation like this ranch. working alongside vets and attending daily calls are an important part of it. zuhal, who grew up in urban los angeles, admits that working with cattle is the last thing she ever thought of doing as a child. but now she's tried u.c. davis early veterinary student bovine experience program, she is hooked. >> it's different, and it's one of those things that, until you get exposed to it, you can't really appreciate it. and we're so closed off from the food-animal industry in suburbia or in an urban environment. you don't see the ranches. you don't know how muc

second, make sure you are mentoring others.ven if you are 20 or 19, there are people in high school that you can be saying, let me show you how to better dress or present yourself and we node to be doing that too. thank you for that, michael. >> andrew from atlanta. the question to jam al, what do you think about the tea party movement and what is going on on the right and what we can do to fight back. people get frustrated when i say this. i'm not mad at the tea party movement. they are doing what is constitutionally their right. i completely disagree with what they want to do. the problem i have is with the people who are their opponents. the question is are our communities advocating the things that are important. you remember last year during the healthcare debate, you would see these forums that would take place. you would have people standing up saying horrible things. where were our allies holdup your a sign saying i like what you are doing? on october 2. 10-2-10, a plug. we are getting together to express the views of a

but as barack obama, acco according to dinesh gets older, he finds four mentors. one you know, william ayers, weather underground bomber. jeremiah wright is where he finds jesus and religious underpinnings. it never heard of said and unger. who are they? >> they're anti-colonialist more than race guys. the reason that ayers in the book "fugitive days" he talks about the war in vietnam was a colonial war. the french used to occupy vietnam and then when america came, he said i was fighting against the french. that's why i was fighting against colonialism, that's why i did the bombing. edward said, scholar, palestinian, taught at columbia where obama got his undergraduate degree. a very anti-israel guy. was at one time was a representative for the p.l.o., palestinian liberation organization. >> glenn: big influence on obama? >> a big influence on obama. >> glenn: dock meanted in the book -- documented in the book? >> yes. obama went to fundraisers he had later in chicago. unger, brazilian ant anti-colonial legal scholar. >> glenn: so you contend with all of this and

they don't have the mentors that they can relate to. that's the difference.ent programs, but can the youth relate to that mentor that they have been assigned to. so that's why we've started our program so that we can get mentors in who can identify with that child, who can relate to their struggle, who may look just like they do and help them with their problems that they're having. so that they don't result in the gang activity. >> lamont, how do you get at these kids, what is your message to them? >> my message is mainly don't live the life that i lived. i'm the truth. i'm a living testimony. i'm an example of what kids can become. i know kids don't want to walk around being blind. i know a lot don't want it walk around in wheelchairs. but most of all the big picture is a lot of then don't want to add to our penitentiary and cemetery population. it's just that of a territory incident happens or after they act, there's a horrible reaction and by that time it's too late. >> how powerful is it not just to hear the experience or the words of someone like lamont

they were serving as mentors. what is fascinating, and a commentary on the conservative movement of the time is that five of these senior conservatives were all in their 30's. l. brent resolve was 34. bill buckley, at his home, the meetings were being held, had reached the ripe age of 35. the head of the interest collegian society of individualists, as it was then called, was 36, and both bill rauscher and marvin liebman were the old men of the organization, at the right age of 37. now, i must confess that in this point in my life is hard for me to remember when i was in my 30's, yet these were the old men of the conservative movement of 1960. the only one who was an exception was charles edison, the former new jersey governor who served as secretary of the navy under franklin delano roosevelt, and was truly a senior citizen and a mentor of the organization. but, the weekend, even though the senior conservatives were present, and did give some remarks and encouragement, the weekend was totally under the direction

i hope we will have a mentor come and help me so i can continue to do the work. >> sorry. >> thank you board members and audience. i just wanted to talk about the national urban alliance. the impact of training has been significant both in the classroom and out. they have been infectious and inspiring. get although i feel the reading curriculum is very strong at the first and second grade level. those are the ones i worry about reaching the ones that need a boost. they really understand those approaches and another strategy. they are good for all of our students. i had several students that would not even attempt to write any words. using some of the strategy is, all of them at least tried, and with some success she would not even try. as teachers, we really want our children to have that can-do attitude. one of the quotes we have is learning is not a spectator sport. this program really touches our spirit.

this includes the mentoring and sponsorship of youth and our communities. the impact that you have upon young men and women today is very powerful. they watch what you do. when they told you, as a young soldier, to lead by example, when you took off that uniform and returned to civilian status, you continued to set the example. these programs are extremely important, especially at a time when there are pillars in our society that are weakening at its base. when the military or religious organizations and private schools, when you think about what is out there that provides color and stability of america's soul, you play very important role. your advocacy for patriotism and helping tell your story so that people understand honor and service and selfless sacrifice. promoting a strong sense of well-being in our nation's security. at -- as i listened to our speaker's remarks, she was correct when she said you must first have economic security before you can have national security. it is part of the problem of why communism failed. madam speaker, you must have a
