Abuse in Schools Turns Deadly
A new type of teacher-child abuse is surfacing in the classroom--and it's not sexual. More and more educators are resorting to physical violence to discipline unruly kids--ending with some children even dying. Could this happen in your child's school?
Tim, who has Asperger's Syndrome, was often rowdy in class--on several occasions, his teachers held him on the floor for 20 minutes to calm him down. Tim's parents sued the school district for costs of therapy for their son as a result of the incidents, but the school insisted their teachers acted appropriately.
One teacher wrote: "Tim was screaming down the hall. He ran past me and began to double his fist to punch the locker. At this point, I scooped my arm underneath his and directed him into my room."
The teacher and another "laid him onto the mat, where he was held approximately 20 minutes," the report stated.
This is a growing problem as more parents of children with psychiatric problems are getting their kids into mainstream schools. Just last year, the public school system granted entrance to 600,000 more special education students than it did a decade ago, many in regular classrooms. And researchers say teachers just aren't trained to handle such severe behavior issues. As a result, educators are using dangerous discipline techniques like isolation rooms and restraining kids in chairs with straps.
Just consider a case in April where a 9-year-old Montreal student with autism suffocated to death after a special education teacher wrapped him in a weighted blanket to calm him down. Two Michigan autistic kids also died in school from similar forms of restraint.
One Dallas-based 11-year-old with ADD was picked up by his mom at a police station after being taken from the school in handcuffs for cursing at a teacher.
"I didn't hear about it for hours and had to go get him at jail," his mother said. "He was hysterical, obviously, and he's had his ups and downs since then. It's hard to know what a thing like that does to a child that age."
One major problem is that states and school districts get to decide when to use physical restraints and isolation, and the definition of such is pretty broad. However, some states like Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Michigan are instituting stricter policies on the use of isolation and restraints. While New York, California, and Iowa are in talks to tighten their rules.
Experts say the use of force in schools is increasing at a rapid pace--at least one or two cases a week-with hypocrisy surrounding the situation. "It's an awful combination, because many parents expect restraints to be used -- as long as it's not their kid," said Reece L. Peterson, a professor of special education at the University of Nebraska.
Teachers feel overburdened by other duties and caring for one child with a disability can consume his or her attention and throw off the entire class (usually 35 children). Currently, federal law states teachers must develop a plan for every disabled student (tricks to ease a child's temper, or solutions for time-out), but if the child becomes violent, it's common for educators to resort to aggressive solutions.
Investigators studied cases of school abuse in California and found during the 2005-2006 school year, an 8-year-old with attention deficit disorder and mental retardation was repeatedly locked in a "seclusion room" alone at least 31 times in a single year. His parents only heard about the incident from another parent, who saw the boy trying to escape.
In another school, a teacher held a 12-year-old with ADD "face down on the floor, straddling him at his hips, and holding his hands behind his back," according to the investigation.
Parents are furious, but also reluctant to report the school for fear of retaliation. As for the children, they often don't understated what is going on or why they are being punished--after all, many lack communication skills, even to tell their parents why they return from school with bruises. And the ramifications of the public humiliation and psychological abuse are usually unknown until later.
But with parents hesitant to report the school and teachers feeling powerless, a certain dichotomy presents itself. The parents of an 11-year-old who died while being held down called for a ban on restraints. But in another case, the parents sued the school for not restraining their son who ran away from teachers and ultimately drowned.
Some companies offer programs to teach management techniques to school staff, but until states designate exactly what techniques are acceptable, the use of force on children in schools will continue.
Do you think teachers should discipline with physical restraint, or should parents of special needs children send their kids to special education schools?
Some children belong in a mainstream setting.
Some children with appropriate supports and interventions belong in a mainstream setting.
Some children do not belong in a mainstream setting, regardless of supports and interventions
Whether or not a child belongs in a mainstream setting does not justify or excuse any type of abuse and unnecessary endangerment with physical restraints as was done by my son and followed with attempted cover-up of such facts by his school.
John P. Miller DPM (Father of Tim in NY Times article by Ben Carey)
Restraint and Seclusion on Children with Disabilities in Florida Public Schools
There are many families from counties all over Florida who have children with Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders that are being restrained, put in time-out and forced locked seclusion rooms in the public school system. Our children are being injured physically and mentally because of their disabilities and the lack of appropriate programs and highly qualified teachers and aides available to educate them. Most of the aides that are hired have little or no background in children with Autism.
Florida has no laws or regulations to protect our children from the over use of restraint and seclusion. Most school districts have no guidelines, no tracking system, no consent from parents and no parent notification in many cases.
Many of our children have little or no communication and the only way they can communicate is through behavior. Because school staff do not understand what our children are trying to say through behaviors, they are punished by being restrained, put in seclusion, time out or suspended. The trauma this has caused our children and the emotional drain to our families should never happen to any child or family.
Some of our schools are prone restraining children with Autism and emotional disabilities in Pre-K. That means they are prone restraining children as young as 3 years old. I can't even imagine how terrified these children must be and what this is doing to them mentally and physically.
If you file a complaint with the FLDOE you are filing a complaint with them about them and nothing happens. It's a broken process that many families have tried to get help from only to find that there is no help. And then there are the forged documents that they come up with to prove parents wrong. And let's not forget about retaliation on parents if you speak up too much.
Because filing a complaint with the FLDOE is a waste of time parents have turned to Government agencies but still have not found any help. The answer is always the same. We have no authority over school districts. It seems that our public school districts can do whatever they want and not be held responsible.
The information below was presented by a Florida ESE Director on May 9, 2007 at a school board meeting.
What if we do not use PCM (Restraint) Procedures?
Increase in the number of students with disabilities being arrested
Increase in involuntary hospitalizations under the Baker Act
Student and staff injuries will increase
More School Police involvement
Increase in medications to include PRN medications
Restraint and seclusion is not a treatment, restraint and seclusion is the failure of treatment.
I have had experiences that range from "never heard of Aspergers" to yanking my son up by his ear and other physical abuse. Currently we are utilizing the spec ed services at our local school (because we have the choice and they are great)and meeting my sons educational needs online. We use ConnectionsAcademy.com online instead of the local schools online service because it is structured better but is also very flexible. Not everyone can educate their children at home but if it gets that bad (like it did for us) check out that option. The public schools do not have a say if you are in this program. It is the same as your local education and delivers a high school diploma just like other public schools. Oh yeah - it is free if it is available in your state.
This comment is directed toward anynomous: First of all, I relize that the school district does not provide these supports for the teachers much less the students.
Yet these teachers do not fight for these supports. why is this? are you afraid to lose your job? If teachers and parents cannot work together then what is to become of the student?
That is why more and more parents are withdrawing their children to homeschool
alot more predictable and safer than to send your child to school to suffer abuse and torture at the hands of untrained professionals.
do you actually use that as an excuse to keep restraining children? My 35lb 5 year old son was prone restrained by the special education teacher and the regular education teacher. For what? Repeatedly throwing a pencil on the floor before going outside prior tho a firedrill, when he was'nt suppossed to be kept inside as the firedrill sounded.
Knowing he had sensory intergration issues.
His regular education teacher did everything in her power to get him out of her class. And the Upseting thing was, her nephew was suppossed to had the same disorder my son had.
Teachers should be demanding supports from the school district. "No-Child-Left-Behind"? There is NO EXCUSE for restraining our children.
Deborah , I am with you there, my son has high-functioning autism. I had to pull him out twice out of school. I am beginning to think that is the only option left. I do not want my son to go through the hell all over again.I say hell. Because that's what it was.
Best regards,
The school I where my son attended. Would'nt even let me past the front door after dropping my son off to school
much less contact me after they restrained my son.
How can a parent develope a trusting relationship with teachers and staff when for one: It is always the parents the last to know anything especially anything having to do with school policys. And with closed door policys that prevent the parent access to even viewing their childs educational records…How can a parent make the teacher their friend when they sit in a room and accuse the parent of being a bad parent?
I think anyone who has not taught in a classroom, has no idea what they are talking about. I teach special needs children, as well as having one at home. I have had my hand broken, my glasses broken, my jaw knocked out of place. I have been hit, kicked, scratched, bit, spit on, and peed on. I have had furniture thrown at me, and many many more things happen in my classroom. I would never touch a student unless he or she was in danger of hurting themselves or others. Also if my child was trying to hurt himself or someone else, I hope his teacher does everything in her power to protect him and the other students.
My son has been sat on belly flpped by 3 teachers at the age of roughly 8 and has just been found guilty of assault of a teacher after she put her arm round his waist pinched him to as she decribed do the procedure that is going up to his arm pit and twisting his arm if anyone can tell me if this is legal i would be grateful thankyou

As of Sunday, April 15, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
MELBOURNE, Fla. — Shad Tuten isn't ready for it to end.
If the Darton sophomore has it his way, today's district tournament will be only the beginning.
The Cavs play the first two rounds of the NJCAA District 4 tournament today, which kicks off a grueling span of six competitive rounds in seven days that ends with the Region XVII tournament.
And Tuten can't wait to get it started.
"We've gotten this far," said Tuten, who is the seventh-ranked junior college golfer in the country and roommates with Joe Sakulpolphaisan — the No. 1 golfer in the nation. "The team has worked really hard this year, and I think we deserve this. We have hit three million balls at practice. We have put some sweat in the bucket."
The Cavs need to finish in the Top 6 in the two-day, three-round district tournament to qualify for the national tournament for the 11th year in a row. The Cavs will have just two days to recover from the district tournament before hosting the Region XVII tournament at Stonebridge County Club in Albany.
"I am kind of mentally preparing myself (for the busy week)," Tuten said. "One thing I told the guys is to stay patient during this grueling week. I think that is going to be the biggest key to our success."
It will be a tough week, but Darton coach Bill Jones III thinks his nationally ranked No. 5 Cavs are tough enough to handle it.
He knows his No. 1 golfer won't be backing down from any challenge.
Sakulpolphaisan, a native of Thailand who finished tied for second at nationals last year, is playing the best golf of his life right now.
"Joe just shot a 66 in (Friday's) practice round. Our next best score was a 72, and that was a good score," Jones said. "He is the best player on our team and the best player in the country by far. But he can't start thinking about stroke average or awards or he could lose his focus. I don't see that happening though."
Sakulpolphaisan and Tuten headline Darton's lineup, which is rounded out by sophomore Austin McNeill and freshmen Chase Jones and Nick Green. Green beat out freshman Robert Robertson in recent qualifying rounds, and Tuten said his teammate is poised for a breakout tournament.
"You can lose it with (No.) 1 and 2 guys but you win it with your (No.) 3, 4 and 5 guys," Tuten said. "The freshmen stepping up will have to happen (for us to win)."
Four of the 12 teams in the district tournament are nationally ranked in the Top 10, including No. 1 Meridian Community College (Miss.), which has had Darton's number all season. The Cavs rallied from five shots back to beat Meridian for last year's district title, but Meridian is 4-0 against Darton this season.
"We kind of have a grudge against them," said Jones, whose Cavs have lost to Meridian by two shots twice this season. "They are the best team this year, and they have proved it. We are going to try to get them this week, but we can't overlook any of those other teams either. It's not a two-horse race."
No. 4 Brevard (Fla.) and No. 8 Central Alabama also have hopes of winning district. Darton played Brevard in its first tournament of the spring and lost by 24 strokes, while the Cavs beat Central Alabama twice in three tournaments.
But the Cavs have started to peak at the end of the season and are coming off a second-place finish in the Lou Hart Invitational in Meridian, where Darton nearly upset the nation's No. 1 team.
"I have played with just about every one of the guys (on Meridian's team)," Tuten said. "They are good guys, but there is a sense of rivalry with everyone on the Meridian team. They only beat us by four at their home tournament. They were supposed to kill us. But us putting pressure on them all year should make them nervous."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- For the first time in almost two years, Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are back on top.
The Olympic champions won the ice dance title at the Four Continents Championships on Sunday, beating rivals Meryl Davis and Charlie White for the first time since the 2010 worlds.
The Canadians overcame a .55-point deficit to Davis and White with a score of 111.24 in the free dance for a total of 182.84. The reigning world champions, Davis and White had not lost a competition since that defeat to Virtue and Moir in 2010. The Americans scored 107.25 in the free dance to earn the silver medal with 179.40.
`'We were pleased with our skate today and our week overall," said Virtue, a native of London, Ont. `'We learned to approach our skating better which is something we haven't done since the Olympics. It's skating in unison, getting into that zone and blocking all the distractions.
`'We feel we still have more improvements to make and we are looking forward to returning to sea level and getting back into training," added Moir, who hails from Ilderton, Ont.
Davis and White, who won last year's Four Continents title, were the last pair to skate and needed 110.70 to win.
"Today, I think some of the calls didn't go our way," White said. "Not everything is going to go your way. I could not be prouder of the way we fought through both programs. We really worked through it.
"We wanted to work on expression, and we did that. I felt like our elements were pretty good."
Canada's Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje, both of Waterloo, Ont., were third at 163.26.
`'It was a really good performance we felt we built upon what we did at nationals," said Poje. `'We've been treating this competition as a stepping stone towards the world championships."
Alexandra Paul of Midhurst, Ont., and Mitchell Islam of Barrie, Ont., were sixth.
As the first team on the ice for the free skate in the pairs competition earlier Sunday, China's Sui Wenjing and Han Cong had a chance to send a message to the other medal contenders.
They did just that.
The two-time junior world champions were stellar in the free skate, earning a season-best 135.08 points for a 201.83 total that would not be eclipsed.
"We feel very excited," Han said. "Maybe tonight we can't sleep. I think later in the program there were a little nerves, but we feel we adjusted to our program. The throws were successful, and we are very pleased.
"This is our first time to win a senior competition, and we are happy and excited."
Americans Caydee Denney and John Coughlin -- fresh off a title at the 2012 U.S. championships -- had a season-best score of their own with 122.07 points, but settled for second at 185.42.
The American tandem of Mary Beth Marley and Rockne Brubaker took bronze with 178.89 points after a season-best 116.47 in the free skate.
Canadian champions Meagan Duhamel of Lively, Ont., and Eric Radford of Balmertown, Ont., climbed from eighth after the short program to fourth overall with 171.76 points just seven points shy from the bronze.
`'We had to dig deep to put it together today," said Duhamel. `'Despite the mistakes, we gave a performance which is what we had lacked in the short program. In that aspect we're happy but we know it can be better."
Paige Lawrence of Kennedy, Sask., and Rudy Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., were seventh and Jessica Dube of Saint-Cyrille de Wendover, Que., and Sebastien Wolfe of Terrebonne, Que., eighth.
`'The program wasn't what we wanted but it was a great experience," said Lawrence. `'It's great motivation to go back home and keep working hard."
`'It wasn't performance we wanted today but the experience we gained for the world championships will be very valuable," said Wolfe. `'We'll work on what we struggled with here today so we can put down two solid performances at the world championships."

Pollution Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
Pollution is contaminants spewed into the atmosphere which disrupt the ecosystem and are harmful to air, water, soil. Types include air, water, noise, and light pollution. Incineration, auto exhaust, landfill, are among the pollutants which may be foreign or naturally occurring substances. A pollutant is classified by three measures: chemical nature, concentration, and persistence.
Pollution is a political hot-button. Energy and environmental issues are top on the world's agenda.
Air pollution comes from both natural and manmade sources. Globally, manmade pollutants from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture and warfare are increasingly significant in the air pollution equation. Coal-fired plants, nuclear sites, and manufacturing factories all add. Means of reducing pollution and its effect on global warming is said to be in the hands of earth dwellers.

How To Care For Teak Furniture
Teak is regarded as one of the most beautiful, high-quality woods manufactured today. It's a very dense, straight-grained hardwood with a coarse texture, high natural oil content, and a distinctively aromatic scent (often compared to leather).
Widely renowned for its durability and resistance to rotting, teak is almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost, and snow. Its high level of resinous oil acts as a natural insect repellent, giving it a very high resistance to termites.
The Weathering of Teak
Over time, teak furniture will attain a handsome silvery-gray patina as it weathers. This process takes approximately nine months, depending on the amount of sunlight and rain exposure. During weathering, a slight lifting of the grain may occur on the tops of the arms and legs, and you may even see a few cracks. This is not considered a defect, but a natural expanding and contracting of the wood. The grain will return to its original smooth finish after the weathering process is complete.
Cleaning Your Teak Outdoor Furniture
If you prefer to keep your teak patio furniture at its original golden color instead of letting it weather to a silvery-gray patina, simply perform some light sanding and then apply a teak cleaner and protectant. The oils will penetrate, nourish and help restore the original look of your teak.
Teak can be cleaned with a hose. To remove stains, lightly sand away areas that are stained with fine-grit sandpaper. High-quality outdoor furniture covers are recommended if you plan to leave your teak furniture outdoors all year. If you choose to store your furniture indoors, we recommend that you do so in a watertight garden shed or garage. We advise that you do not move teak furniture from the garden straight into a heated indoor room for storage, as the sharp differences in temperature and humidity may cause the wood to split.

Futures rise on Chinese data
Chinese manufacturing activity continues to grow, while Europe's remain contraction eases.
U.S. equity futures rose slightly in early Monday trade following a slew of Chinese data over the weekend. The Chinese Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.6 in November from 50.2 in October, showing a continued recovery in the sector. In addition, the official Services PMI rose to 55.6 in November, both data points showing a continued turnaround story in China.
In other news, Moody's downgraded the joint European bailout funds, the European Financial Stability Facility and the European Stability Mechanism. Following the downgrade of France, Moody's has downgraded the ratings of these funds as the ratings are effectively a weighted average of the members' contributions. France's large contribution forced the downgrade.
Greece officially announced the debt buyback plan in which it will buy back bonds between between 30.2% and 40.1% of the principal amount.
The Eurozone Manufacturing PMI rose to 46.2 in November, in line with estimates and better than October's 45.4. In fact, the reading was the strongest since March and was buoyed by strength in Spain and weighed down by weakness in Italy.
- S&P 500 futures 1.4 points to 1,415.80.
- The EUR/USD was higher at 1.3036.
- Spanish 10-year government bond yields fell to 5.223%.
- Italian 10-year government bond yields fell to 4.427%.
- Gold rose 0.43% to $1,720.00 per ounce.
Commodities were mostly higher in early trade reacting to the slew of data released over the weekend. WTI crude futures fell slightly by 0.12% to $88.80 per barrel and Brent crude futures rose 0.14% to $111.39 per barrel. Copper futures were slightly weaker in early trade, falling 0.04% to $364.85 per pound. Gold was higher in early trade and silver futures rose 1.07% to $33.64 per ounce.
Currency markets were fairly active overnight with the dollar weakening against a basket of currencies. The EUR/USD was higher at 1.3039, breaking out of the 1.2960-1.3030 range seen in the second half of last week, and the dollar fell against the yen as the USD/JPY fell to 82.10. In addition, the pound rose 0.34% against the dollar and greenback was stronger against the Canadian dollar and the Swiss franc. Lastly, the Aussie dollar was slightly weaker to start the week as investors await the RBA rate decision late Monday night. The Bank is expected to cut rates seeing as no cut would ensure that the Bank would go without a rate cut for four months (the next meeting is not until February and the Bank did not cut rates last month).
Premarket movers
- Boston Scientific (BSX) shares rose 1.08% premarket as the first patients enrolled in a new phase 2 drug trial for its Evolve program.
- General Mills (GIS) shares rose 0.51% premarket as investors clamored for yield ahead of dividend tax hikes in the new year.
- LDK Solar (LDK) is expected to report a third quarter loss of $1.24 per share vs. a loss of $0.87 a year ago.
On the economics calendar Monday, the Markit U.S. PMI and the ISM manufacturing index are expected as well as construction spending data. In addition, James Bullard of the St. Louis Fed is set to speak and the Treasury is to auction four-week, three-, and six-month bills.

Sigma SD14 review
Review Date : Mon, 4 Jun 2007
Author : WDC Team
- Product Shots: View product shots of the Sigma SD14
- Sample Photos: View sample shots of the Sigma SD14
The 14-megapixel SD14 is the third DSLR from Sigma to employ the unique triple-layered Foveon sensor. Has the company got it right this time?
|Build quality, design, dust protector
|Weak autofocus, poor LCD, poor high-resolution JPEGs, inconsistent white balance
It may be better known as a lens manufacturer, but Sigma has a long-running history as a camera manufacturer too, with a number of well-received 35mm SLRs to its name before digital capture became the dominant force. As the digital SLR market grew it wasn't long before the company joined the fray, with the SD9 back in 2002.
However, while other manufacturers relied on familiar Bayer-pattern CCD designs, Sigma found its own way, with a little help from sensor manufacturer Foveon and this continues with its third SD model - the SD14. Rather than using a grid of red, green and blue filtered pixels the Foveon CMOS sensor uses silicon, which naturally absorbs the three different wavelengths of light to different depths. By placing pixel sensors at these three discrete depths the Foveon X3 sensor is unique in that it can capture full colour information at each and every photosite, where other sensors will only record a shade of red, green or blue.
This means images from Sigma's cameras don't need to go through complicated (and sometimes destructive) interpolation routines to generate a full colour image. As a result, Sigma claims its digital SLRs are capable of delivering better detail and fewer colour artefacts than its rivals, while the tri-layered construction of the sensor effectively triples the camera's resolution. With the SD14 this means the 4.64 million 'pixels' on the sensor translate to a 14MP image... Or do they?

My father was born in 1892 and joined the police force in 1914. He joined the Royal Artillery in 1917. He rarely spoke about his experiences in the Army unless they were amusing events.
When I was small we visited his family and my mothers family quite often. He and I would pass a house where the occupant was usually in his garden. One or other of them would call, 'Hello. How about a hash-up?' I asked my Dad why they always greeted each other in this manner. He said he was marching along a road in France, feeling homesick, and could see a soldier sitting at the edge of the road tending small fire.
When my Dad reached the soldier he could see it was a friend from back home - the man who called out to him. My Dad could see his friend had a frying pan over the fire which contained potato and bully-beef. His friend called, 'Hello Ted. How about a hash-up?'
My Dad carried his loose change in a purse and, when he opened it I always
noticed a horse-shoe made of brass amongst the money.
I asked him where he'd got it, and he smiled broadly. He said that when he
was in France the Troop had a small wooden hut near the site in which was a
My Dad was using the facility when a shell exploded near by. It shattered his
privacy, and the hut, and he was hit on his backside by a piece of hot
shrapnel which gave him a small wound. When the shrapnel had cooled, he
picked it up and later took it a jeweler in the local town who made the
horse-shoe for him. My father's brother Frank also served in the War but I
knew nothing of his experiences.My Mother had three brothers who served in
the Army. Frank had five wounds in his face, but he never spoke about what
happened. Bert was quite badly gassed causing him the be a bit wheezy. I
don't recall that either of them complained or felt hard done by, they were
simply pleased to have come through it all.It seems that people rarely
travelled very far from where they were born before the War. All these men
lived in Wotton under Edge and I think about the furthest they went was
Bristol. I feel sure this was the case with Arthur, my Mother's youngest brother.He joined the Army and, after training, was sent to France. On his first venture to the front line, he was captured by the Germans and put to work in a salt mine. I believe he must have been badly treated. On his return home he couldn't keep a job and spent his time wandering in the hills around his home. Post traumatic stress I guess it would be called today. Only his mother seemed to care for him. He lived at home with her and rarely spoke. As a small child, he would put me on his lap and hold me close for a long time. I liked him, but felt very sad for him. He must have received some money, but it was very little. His brothers and my Dad were always very gentle towards him and would give him half a crown when they were with him. These men, and their like, were my role models and I am ever grateful to them. They had no time for posturing and posing. What you saw was what you got. They were utterly loyal, compassionate and caring. They had seen horrible sights and weren't impressed with possessions or status and were the men to be with in a sticky situation. One once said to me,'We don't bring anything with us into the world and we don't take anything out. Whatever we have makes us simply custodians'. My school teachers were of the same mould. One had been gassed and another wounded. One used crutches because he had only one leg. His lower jaw had scars about it. He didn't tell us what had happened to him, but another teacher said that he had been in the Royal Flying Corps. His plane was shot down and, when it crashed, the joystick pierced his jaw shattering the bones. His leg was smashed, but a clever surgeon used a bone from his leg or foot and fashioned a new jaw and covered it with skin from his leg.About the only thing which made my Dad angry was the sight of ex-soldiers carrying a tray of thing they tried to sell, usually matches. He would say, 'What happened to the world fit for heros?' My Dad went back into the police and served through WW11 reaching the rank of Chief Inspector. Many of the other policemen were veterans of WW1 all of whom were men I admired greatly.

Thankyou good lady for the recommendations. I shall endeavour to have a closer look at them. May I be so bold as to suggest a book I quite enjoyed, The Anubis Gates, by Tim Powers. I hope you are well, I must go as a cup of tea and my pipe are demanding my attention. Good evening, and farewell.

Chasing Value: Buy Joy Global while it's cheap
The mining equipment company may be the ultimate pick-and-shovel play in the industry.
An approaching new year is invariably a time for lists -- about the past, about the future. And stock-picking lists for 2013 are no different. While I've posted similar lists in the past, this year I decided to raise the stakes and think about which companies I would buy -- that is, if I were to actually buy the whole company. Joy Global (JOY) is be high on my list. We cannot afford to make a play on the company, but we did buy some of its stock for our clients and acquired a significant options position in the Chasing Value Fund.
Last Friday, JOY closed at $61.64 despite Bloomberg reporting the company sees no immediate recovery in mining equipment demand. But the stock remains far below its 52-week high of $96. If there ever were a time to look at mining companies it would be when there is doubt in the market and weak projections from all corners of the investment world. In particular, Joy would be worth a look with its current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.58, price-to-sales (P/S) of 1.15 and the standout return-on-equity (ROE) of 33.88%.
Two years ago, Caterpillar (CAT) was thinking along the same lines when it bought Bucyrus International for $8.8 billion. Joy Global is valued at only $6.53 billion. Who might benefit the most from acquiring Joy? Two candidates come to mind. The first is BHP Billiton (BHP), the largest mining company in the world, headquartered in Australia. It would be easy for BHP with a capitalization $203 billion to make the move.
It would also be very beneficial for the mining giant, given that it is one of the largest consumers, if not the largest, of Joy equipment. Furthermore, the acquisition would add to its bottom line -- BHP has posted negative year-over-year growth compared to more than a 20% growth for Joy. BHP also has a much higher P/E, P/S and price-to-book ratio then Joy. Finally, BHP's current ROE of 24%, while great, is notably less than that of Joy.
The second potential buyer of Joy that comes to mind would be the Chinese government. The country's growing mining industry and thirst for natural resources could put Joy's equipment to good use, while at the same time allow China to use some of its trillion dollar U.S. Treasury stock pile.
Joy global is not only cheap and has strong metrics, but think of the barriers to entry for new competition. Before you could produce your first gigantic dump truck or earthmover, you would probably have to move heaven, along with the earth. It is irrelevant what Joy Global's business may be in the next few quarters. If you want to buy a bargain you will buy it when it is down, because it will not be down for long, and if others see it as I do, it may not even be an independent company for long.

For the kickoff of Microsoft's annual North American TechEd conference, the company is urging administrators and IT professionals to think of it as the provider of the "Cloud OS."
Microsoft announced a sweeping range of updates to its line of enterprise software, all aimed at bridging on-premises systems with cloud services offered by Microsoft and its service providers. It also announced updates to its Azure cloud service.
[ InfoWorld offers Windows Red: A serious plan to fix Windows 8. Check out all our Windows Red and Windows "Blue" coverage. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
"If you step back and [see] what is fundamentally happening in the industry, the definition of the operating systems is changing and expanding. Its role is to provide an abstraction layer between the application and the hardware, but it has to do that at the scale of the data center or the cloud, not at the level of the individual server," said Brad Anderson, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Windows Server and System Center, in a press conference that followed the opening keynote.
Among the new releases announced were the introductions of Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, Team Foundation Server 2013, a new version of Windows Intune and SQL Server 2014. All but SQL Server 2014, which will be released early next year, will be available as preview editions by the end of the month and generally available by the end of the year.
Many of the features make these products work with Microsoft's Azure cloud service, or a company's in-house cloud service, more handily. For instance, Windows Server 2012 R2 can accelerate the speed of VM (virtual machine) live migration. Through the use of de-duplication technologies, the migration process can only move those bits that are unique to each VM, saving the time of copying the parts of a VM that are identical across all instances. It also uses the RDMA (remote direct memory access) protocol to further cut migration time.
Between the two technologies, VM live migration from one server to another can take only half as long as the previous methods used in Windows Server, noted Jeff Woolsey, Microsoft principal program manager, who was one of the presenters in addition to Anderson at the keynote.
Windows Server 2012 R2 also offers automated storage tiering, which will help organizations manage large amounts of data more easily without the help of SANs (storage area networks). With this feature, the server can recognize which data is being accessed the most and move it to the fastest hard drives, such as solid state drives, to improve performance, Woolsey noted.
New cloud services
To help organizations come to terms with the idea of the Cloud OS, Microsoft plans to release the Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server. The Azure Pack includes a number of tools that will allow organizations to offer their own in-house services as cloud services, as well as bridge management of in-house resources with Azure-based resources, Anderson said. It includes a portal that users can use to manage the IT for their own projects. It also provides tools for high-density hosting of applications on a single server as well as for managing configurations of user systems.

Hartnell College and CSUMB join forces to offer 3-year computer science bachelor's degree
Hartnell College and CSUMB will hold a joint press conference to announce their novel 3-year bachelor's degree program in computer science at the Hartnell College Center for Advanced Technology, Alisal Campus, 1752 E. Alisal Street on Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 12 noon.
A boldly innovative fast track bachelor's degree program in computer science is accepting students for its first class next fall. A joint program of Hartnell College and California State University Monterey Bay, the new "CSIT-in-3" program will enable students to earn a bachelor's degree in computer science and information technology in just three years.
In an unprecedented show of philanthropic support, the Matsui Foundation has pledged $2.9 million in student scholarship support over the first three years of the CSIT-in-3 program.
"This program is very much in line with our ongoing efforts to bring fresh, new ideas into play in higher education. Thanks to the generosity of the Matsui Foundation and our collaborative relationship with Hartnell College, we will be able to offer students a three-year degree program that will prepare them for high-demand jobs. Those students will be able to move into the job market more quickly, and Cal State Monterey Bay's capacity to meet the economic needs of the region will increase," said Dr. Eduardo Ochoa, president of CSUMB.
Dr. William D. Barr of the Matsui Foundation said, "One of the major goals of the Matsui Foundation in providing financial assistance for local students to obtain college degrees is to have them eventually contribute to the betterment and economic vitality of Monterey County. The Foundation feels that this ground-breaking Hartnell/CSUMB program focused in a discipline with a myriad of applications and a robust job market would be an excellent vehicle to move us toward that goal."
"The program's rigorous academic schedule will make it difficult for students to hold jobs while taking classes" said Hartnell Superintendent/President Dr. Willard Lewallen. "Now, through the inspiring support of the Matsui Foundation, this innovative and accelerated degree program will be accessible to a broader spectrum of students in the Salinas Valley and Monterey Bay regions."
CSIT-in-3 addresses both the need to bring high demand, high paying technology opportunities to students in our region as well as the need to develop innovative models that shorten the time to degree completion, which has become a national priority.
For further information about the program, please visit http://csitin3.hartnell.edu or email email@example.com.

Find out which other local celeb brought home an acting award at the Asian Television Awards 2012 last night
Text: Joanna Goh
Photos: Shah Salimat
Videos: Teng Siew Eng and Ling Pak Wei
It's time of the year again to celebrate and honour the region's best TV contributions and works from the industry. About 40 awards were given out last night at the Shangri La Hotel, and a good portion of them went to the performing categories which saw the nominations of local and regional actors alike. Local stars like Ann Kok, Chen Hanwei, Christopher Lee and Tay Ping Hui who are nominated for their roles in local dramas, added glitz and glamour to the night's star-studded line-up of regional artistes such as Moses Chan, Nancy Wu, Lee Wei, Yeo Yann Yann and more.
While MediaCorp had a strong showing of multiple nominations across various categories, the local TV broadcasting station only bagged two awards in the performing categories for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Rui En in Ch8's Unriddle 2) and Best Comedy Performance by an Actor/Actress (Michelle Chong in Ch5's The Noose).
At the post-show interview with Hong Kong TVB actor Moses Chan, who walked away with the night's biggest acting award (Best Actor in a Leading Role), the 41-year-old artiste was heartened by the recognition bestowed to him by the judging panel. He talked about the great pains he underwent to shed an extreme amount of weight (22kg) for his nominated role in When Heaven Burns.
In high spirits after his win, the actor added, "I'm pretty lucky but that doesn't mean I'll definitely win the Best Actor award in Hong Kong [the upcoming TVB Awards 2012]. If I were to win it, I'd be happy, and if I don't, it wouldn't make a difference." He shared his plans to celebrate his victory with friends and his girlfriend Aimee Chan when he returns home.
Rui En, who was absent from the show due to filming commitment for an upcoming Ch8 drama, C.L.I.F.2, shared her thoughts on winning through her manager.
"I would like to thank the production team for giving me room to explore my character and bring out her extreme side through my acting. Without the producer Paul Yuen and scriptwriter Phang Kai Yee, there won't be Hu Xiaoman today. I have not been able to let go of [the character] Xiaoman completely – even till this day, she will always remain a part of me. I'm grateful. Thank you ATA," she said.
