Today's Meanderings

Hello all, I mean Bill, what's the latest in academia, the title world, Florida moves etc.? Oh wait that's all me, how would anyone else know? If I don't know, why would anyone know? Seriously I am staying home to clean my house and will be returning calls about the sale, time to step up! Of course Volusia County has no teaching jobs listed, I e-mailed and they said they had none to list, 2 weeks ago they were anticipating 500 openings, I am very confused. Of course on the online teaching front I am swamped, completely. I have to write curriculum for a new school, the class is started, and I am thoroughly confused. That's okay I love a challenge and the dare, I'll just have to clear my schedule and get serious.

Well everyone, I mean Bill, hope you survive the snow hurricane okay. Get the groceries in tonight!

Oops, it appears the ethics board idea did not fly well with the new Republican majority, it was disbanded in January. The democrats put it together in November so, well you know how that goes.

Ethics Training

As I teach a class on ethics I found an article in the paper today very interesting. It appears the State of New Jersey has decided to mandate ethics training, including conflict of interest issues, to try to rein in the ridiculous amount of corruption in our government. They also created an ethics board in December. So previously there was no need for ethics training? Why is this State, one of the original colonies (well with a different name) so behind the rest of the Country in so many ways? It appears those arrested in 2005 are so sorry, and perhaps did not know bribes were not a good idea, we should have given them proper training! Ah well, at least now we can say we TOLD them it was wrong.

I am posting something new as I was recently informed that there are rules to this stuff, my goodness what is wrong with me:)
