Technology for Genealogy. Three weeks ago I realized that there really wasn't a common online playground for genealogists to get together to ask questions, share tech news and visit about how we use technology for genealogy.
Just in case I might have missed it, I messaged my pal, Thomas MacEntee, to see if he knew of any such group. After all, if Thomas doesn't know about it, no one does! Thomas' reply was basically "great idea, go for it!"
In a few minutes, the Facebook group was hatched. I invited a few friends, posted a message on my Facebook wall and Twitter. Before I could finish configuring the group settings, the online genealogists were flocking to this new gathering place. People were really jumping on the bandwagon and there were nearly 100 members during the first hour.
Three weeks later, we are quickly approaching 400 members, much due to mentions by Thomas MacEntee, James Tanner and Lynn Palermo of the Armchair Genealogist.
While the chatter has calmed down a bit after the first week, there is still plenty of information sharing going on regarding the technology tools that we use for genealogy. If you have a question about a product or need to learn the "how to" of software, apps or other technology, this is the group for you.
Lincoln, Nebraska "Genea-Tech" group
Along the same lines, I've started a Genealogy Interest Group through my local society, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Genealogical Society. We had our organizational meeting last Sunday with 10 members and three guests present. We brainstormed the various technology topics we wanted to pursue in depth, then narrowed down the topics to four major themes. Our next session in September will be a comparison of some of the major genealogy software programs. My hearty thanks goes out to Drew Smith (one of the Genealogy Guys) who graciously shared his PowerPoint slides from a presentation he did for his society this month. It's a great starting point for us without having to re-invent the wheel.
It's very clear that technology is a hot topic for genealogists - we just can't get enough! And it's an ever changing field with new devices, apps, software and web sites emerging on a daily basis, a person really needs to keep up with it.

Bolt Prospects 2008-2009 Midterm Prospect Rankings
With about a month to go in the regular season over in Europe, and a little over a couple of months left to go in North America, the 2008-2009 season has turned out to be a good one for the prospects of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Asked to buoy the Lightning's sagging playoff hopes and to compensate for a spate of injuries on the top club's blueline, the team's youth has served admirably and done their part to help right the ship for Head Coach Rick Tocchet's club. Heading into the stretch run of the season, it looks like the youth in the Lightning organization may be priming for a big finish, capping a 2008-2009 season that in many ways has been a validation of the work that's been done by the club's scouts and developmental people, past and present.
But, before we get into it, let me once again give the tri-seasonal disclaimer about Bolt Prospects' criteria on what exactly makes a prospect. We try to make it as simple as possible: any player 24 years of age or older at the start of the season is considered an overage prospect and is no longer eligible for the rankings, with the exception of NCAA players who are still in school. Prospects at the skating positions who play 41 or more games in a single NHL season or 82 total career NHL games are no longer considered prospects. Hence, top draft pick Steven Stamkos is no longer considered a prospect by our criteria. For goaltenders, a netminder who racks up 30 or more decisions in a single NHL season or 41 career NHL decisions is considered graduated, and is not eligible for the rankings. So, in case you were wondering who graduates next: Szczechura (23 games) and Downie (24 games) are the next two in line.
Bolt Prospects' Midterm Rankings were compiled by the Bolt Prospects Senior Staff of myself, Timothy, and Chad; a motley crew that has been doing prospect rankings now for about seven years between our time at HF and the founding of Bolt Prospects for the 2005-2006 season. Each member compiled their own top-25 list, and a composite list was generated. Ties on the list were broken the old fashioned way: message board arguing at 10 paces. Bolt Prospects will release its 2008-2009 Final Rankings some time after the conclusion of all of the team's prospect's playoff seasons.
So, without any further delay...
1.) RW Steve Downie, Tampa Bay (NHL)
For the first time in a couple of years, someone not named Stamkos or Ramo occupies the top spot on the Bolt Prospects rankings. The reason is simple: after earning an AHL suspension shortly after being acquired from the Flyers organization, Downie has started to focus on hockey rather than extracuriculars. And, oh yeah, he's one hell of a hockey player when he does. With the Admirals, Downie racked up 8 goals and 25 points in 19 games en route to being named an AHL All-Star, and in recent recalls with the Lightning he has become a regular linemate of Steven Stamkos. Foreshadowing? Downie is a strong skater who is surprisingly hard to knock off the puck for a player with such small stature. He also is a deft playmaker with an underrated shot that he has started to use more in the last month or so, with good results.
2.) G Karri Ramo, Tampa Bay (NHL)
If Karri Ramo could call for a "do-over" of the 2008-2009 season, thus far, we suspect he would probably do it. Ramo has struggled with his positioning and his rebound control this season behind a young defense in Norfolk that has, at times, left him exposed. Still, we've seen Ramo excel behind even worse defensive corps as a rookie in Springfield and it's hard to believe this campaign's version of Ramo is the same player who performed so well down the stretch of last season with Tampa Bay. However, talk of jettisoning the young Finn is, in our opinion, extremely premature. At 22 years old, Ramo is still two years younger than Mike Smith was when he made his NHL debut, and considering Ramo's already shown he can compete in the NHL we feel there is plenty of time for him to turn things around. In fact, he may earn the backup job in Tampa Bay by default now that Olaf Kolzig has been forced out for the rest of the season due to injury.
3.) C Paul Szczechura, Tampa Bay (NHL)
If there were a school that gave out degrees in hockey (please save your jokes about the various CCHA and WCHA schools), we believe Paul Szcechura would be a double doctorate. His shockingly seamless transition from the AHL to the NHL was made possible by the fact he is in the upper ten percentile of players in the way he thinks the game, placing him a stride ahead of his competition and in just the right spot in terms of body positioning to win loose pucks. We don't think Szczechura has quite the offensive chops to be a big scorer in the NHL, but his versatility and intelligence should provide the foundation for a long and successful NHL career.
4.) D Matt Smaby, Tampa Bay (NHL)
It's been two years coming, but we feel like Matt Smaby has finally broken through in his latest recall. After tip toeing around NHL ice for bits and pieces of the past two seasons, we are finally starting to see Matt Smaby play his style of hockey at the top level: aggressive, physical, and borderline nasty. Lightning fans have seen players like Smaby come through town before (see: Sarich, Cory) so they should be well prepared for some of the mistakes Smaby is sure to make as he learns the game at the next level. But, as long as they are mistakes of aggression, we feel that the growing pains will surely be worth it, because a player like Smaby definitely fits the tough new identity that Head Coach Rick Tocchet is trying to instill in his club.
5.) D Ty Wishart, Norfolk (AHL)
Now that Lightning fans have gotten to see a couple of games of Ty Wishart at the NHL level they've gotten a taste of what the big defenseman brings to the table: a preternatural calmness. In fact, if we have a criticsm, it might be that Wishart is a little too calm. There are times he makes decisions so methodically that any slower and he might be moving backwards. We'd like to see the big young blueliner pick up the urgency and pace in his game, which will allow him to assert himself more in the physical game. We also expect it would help him flesh out the offensive side of his skillset that has largely remained dormant throughout his rookie professional season. Wishart was a big point producer in junior and he has some decent puck skills, but he's only managed 1 goal and 4 points so far this season in the AHL. Still, we feel fairly confident that Wishart is on schedule and should be a solid NHL player within the next couple of seasons.
6.) LW/C Dana Tyrell, Prince George (WHL)
It's regretable that Tyrell hurt his knee in Canada's exhibition match against Sweden just before the U20 World Junior Championships. Tyrell had earned a spot on Canada's top line and he looked poised to have a monster tournament that probably would've vaulted him up a few spots higher in these rankings. Now, Tyrell's junior career appears over as he will spend the rest of this season rehabbing after surgery. Hopefully, that rehab will go well and there will be no negative effects on Tyrell's incredible acceleration, which is perhaps the best of any player in the organization not named Stamkos or St. Louis. He already has a contract and should be counted on to be a key contributor in Norfolk next season.
7.) D Vladimir Mihalik, Norfolk (AHL)
Vladimir Mihalik has all the athletic ability he needs to have a long NHL career in his 6'8" frame, but the 6" of gray matter between his ears remain in question. To put it another way, if Szczechura has a double doctorate in hockey, then sometimes it feels like Mihalik is still working on his GED. His failure to consolidate his developmental gains since last season has been extremely frustrating to watch, as it appeared that the monsterous Slovakian had figured out the little things positionally and in terms of managing his gaps. If he could refind that part of his game, there's no doubt he'd be a beast defensively. But, for now, we're downgrading our projections for Mihalik and he's opened the door for other prospects to potentially pass him by on the depth chart.
8.) LW Radek Smolenak, Norfolk (AHL)
If someone could please explain what has happened to Radek Smolenak in the last month, please e-mail the staff at Bolt Prospects and let us know. After a very solid callup to the NHL earlier in the year, Smolenak played well in scoring 4 goals in his first 3 games back in Norfolk. But, in the 10 games since, he has 0 goals and just 4 helpers, stoking speculation that maybe Smolenak isn't quite the same player without Paul Szczechura setting him up. We love his game. He's big, feisty, and has a great shot with a wickedly quick release. With a little work on his defensive coverage, he looked like a strong candidate to make the NHL next season. Now? We'd just like him to get back on track in the AHL this season.
9.) C/LW Johan Harju, Lulea (SWE)
Would it be presumptuous for us at Bolt Prospects to interpret news out of Sweden that the Lightning are planning to sign "Big Joe" Harju as an early Valentine's Day present from the Lightning organization? Late round gems are the reason why Bolt Prospects exists, and Harju has shone brilliantly over the past two seasons as he has developed into one of the best goalscorers in the Swedish Elitserien. And, even better, he's still improving. He's already matched his goal scoring and point totals from last season with about a month left to go before the playoffs. Harju is a big body who is versatile enough to play center or wing, with a heavy, accurate shot that makes opposing teams tremble on the power play. We expect Harju to start in Norfolk next season, but his experience at the top level in Sweden makes him a prime candidate to climb the ladder quickly to the NHL.
10.) G Riku Helenius, Norfolk (AHL)
Twelve. That's the number of games that Helenius has played in this season. Twelve? The plan coming into this year was to try to get the big Finn as much game action as possible to try to overcome a lost season to injury two years ago and a junior season last year that saw Helenius split time between the pipes. Unfortunately, the athletically gifted keeper has been caught in a vicious cycle between sitting on the bench in Norfolk and the occassional spot start in the ECHL as injuries to Olaf Kolzig at the top level have produced a domino effect that may ultimately take a huge toll on Helenius' development. So, what's our wish for Riku Helenius? We just want him to get some game action. Please.
11.) G Dustin Tokarski, Spokane (WHL)
The hockey world got a heavy dose of the Dustin Tokarski magic as junior hockey's premiere big game goaltender brought Sweden to its knees in the U20 World Junior Championships final to help bring Team Canada its zillionth gold medal in a row. It's a good thing too, as Tokarski was under major pressure after a so-so performance earlier in the tournament had put Tokarski and Canadian Head Coach Pat Quinn under the microscope in the Great White North. Tokarski's very good positionally, strong mentally, and he rises to the occassion when a big save must be made, which makes up for his small size and middling athleticism. Having earned a contract, Tokarski's next step is to conquer the pro game starting in Norfolk of the AHL.
12.) C Alex Killorn, Harvard (ECACHL)
Here's something folks need to know about NCAA hockey: rarely do freshmen make a big impact because they are facing off against players in their early to mid-20's that are older and stronger than many Canadian junior players. So, having Alex Killorn among the leading scorers for the Crimson, despite their down year, should make Lightning prospect watchers sit up and take notice. Since being drafted, when he was listed at mousey small 161 lbs, Killorn has grown an inch and 34 pounds and now is a solidly average 6'1" 195 lbs, and he hasn't lost any speed or skill in the process. We expect Killorn to play one more year in college before the Lightning take a strong run to sign him, and when they do we would not be surprised to see Killorn shoot up into the top ten in these rankings. Killorn is like the XBox 360 Elite the Lightning organization has on layaway, and the day is fast approaching when they'll finally get to take their new toy out of the box.
13.) D Kevin Quick, Norfolk (AHL)
The title of fastest riser in these Midterm Rankings goes to Kevin Quick, who, after a year in hockey purgatory, used the opportunity presented by mass injuries on the blueline in Tampa to reassert his status as one of the organization's brightest young prospects. We're still waiting for Quick's offensive game to really show up on the scoresheet in Norfolk, and he has yet to establish himself as a real power play quarterback, but in four games in Tampa he reminded us all why the Lightning used to salivate at the thought of Kevin Quick's NHL future. Quick's skating and first pass blends nicely with his precocious assertiveness and poise, and it's hard not to project what he could be one or two years and about 15 pounds of muscle into the future.
14.) C/RW Blair Jones, Norfolk (AHL)
It's a tribute to the development of several players throughout the Lightning organization that the play of Blair Jones has somewhat fallen through the cracks. The big, rugged Saskatchewan product has continued to improve statistically despite seeing reduced ice time on a deeper Norfolk club and he's even become a lethal weapon playing as the righty point shot on the Admirals' power play. Jones is a good forechecker with good size who could probably fit what Rick Tocchet is doing in Tampa Bay pretty well. Will he get the chance? We feel like Blair Jones still has an NHL future somewhere. But, with the depth in the Lightning organization ahead of him, we wonder if it will be in Tampa Bay.
15.) C Mitch Fadden, Tri-City (WHL)
We're not exactly sure what Mitch Fadden's season in Tri-City has proven this year. With his experience and skillset, he can sleepwalk his way to multi-point nights in the WHL, and he isn't really being pressed to play tighter defense or more physical in the corners in the process. So, while his numbers may be gaudy, we feel like the real work for Fadden developmentally is yet to be done. Fadden has great speed, good hands, and a scorer's ability to make the puck follow him. He also is the type who believes that corners are for bus stops and mail boxes and who sometimes takes cherry picking to the level of an art form. If it was our choice to make, we would definitely sign him, because he does have elite level offensive talent. However, we'd also designate one of our assistant coaches to routinely break their foot off in his rear end to make sure he committed to play a more honest all-around game.
16.) D Andy Rogers, Norfolk (AHL)
If it wasn't for bad luck, Andy Rogers would have no luck at all. The former first round pick showed great improvement early in the season for Norfolk, and looked ticketed for a recall to Tampa Bay. And, considering he's what we term a "thumper", a stay-at-home defenseman who relishes taking the body, we think he'd have a solid shot at catching Rick Tocchet's eye. However, just before the rash of injuries hit the Lightning blueline, Rogers himself went on the shelf for what seems like the hundreth time in his young career, and a golden opportunity went by the boards. More than that, his opportunity ended up landing in the lap of Kevin Quick who seized it by the throat and probably leapfrogged Rogers on the depth chart. There are backwoods preachers who have taken less snake bites than he has, and that's a shame.
17.) LW Lauri Tukonen, Rauma (FIN)
Ordinarily, getting a former 11th overall pick for a defensively challenged borderline NHL defenseman would be considered a steal, but we're not getting our hopes up too high after the Lightning's acquisition of winger Lauri Tukonen from the Stars for Andrew Hutchinson. Tukonen's a decent skater with a decent skill set who has put up decent numbers in Finland, but he also earned a bit of a reputation as a heartless tin man when he was in the Kings organization, and he's never come close to living up to his promise of becoming the next Olli Jokinen style Finnish power forward.
18.) C James Wright, Vancouver (WHL)
Wright started off the season like a house of fire for the Giants, but he has tailed off of late. Still, he's one point shy of his season totals from last season and while he may never live up to his original billing as a former first round WHL Bantam Draft pick, we like what Wright projects to be as a pro. He's big and strong and, when he goes to the net, can create quite a few problems for the opposition. We think he still could become a nice lower line player at the next level.
19.) LW Luca Cunti, Rimouski (QMJHL)
The Lightning have a decision to make on whether or not to sign Luca Cunti at the end of this season, and with just 12 goals in 44 games in the defensively challenged QMJHL, it's pretty hard to get excited about the once touted Swiss winger. Part of the blame belongs to the NCAA, whose ridiculous decision to disqualify Cunti from playing at St. Cloud State ruined a perfect development opportunity for Luca. However, that doesn't excuse Cunti from putting up mediocre numbers in a league he should be able to dominate. Cunti's a great skater who is a supremely gifted stickhandler with great hands, but he hasn't taken the next step and time is running out for him to impress the Lightning.
20.) LW Justin Keller, Norfolk (AHL)
It's been a roller coaster for Justin Keller. A year ago he was representing Norfolk as the Admirals' lone AHL All-Star representative. In the time since, he's languished on the team's lower lines and even seen a stint with the now defunct Augusta Lynx in the ECHL. He's picked it up a bit lately with 10 points in his last 18 games for the Admirals, but it feels a bit too little a bit too late for the third year pro.
21.) RW Juraj Simek, Norfolk (AHL)
Simek might've been a couple of spots higher in our rankings, but he missed a month in December and January due to injury. The Slovakian-born but Swiss-trained winger is a decent AHL depth player with a fair amount of speed, skill, and hustle, but it's very hard for us to project any NHL future for him.
22.) D Mark Barberio, Moncton (QMJHL)
Like Wright, Barberio started the season on a tear for the Moncton Wildcats, but his offensive output has slowed to a snail's pace over the past month. We like Barberio's ability to log big minutes, and that he has the smarts to overcome an awkward first step. But, a late round guy like Barberio can't afford to fall off the planet for a month and climb the ladder with so many talented prospects ahead of him.
23.) D Michal Sersen, Bratislava (SVK)
The Lightning brought the rights to Sersen home with them from Europe on the opening road trip of the season and vowed, at the time, to try to lure Sersen to North America next season. However, we can't help but be a little suspicious about a smallish guy who has put up mediocre numbers on the best team in a very mediocre Slovakian Extraliga.
24.) RW/C Chris Lawrence, Norfolk (AHL)
One of the biggest negative surprises we've had this year has been the ineffectiveness of big power forward prospect Chris Lawrence. Lawrence had a decent run in the final month of last season in Norfolk and he had a pretty good Traverse City tournament to start this year, but he's struggled to break through on a deeper Admirals club this season. We haven't written Lawrence off, as we still feel he could "pull a Smolenak" and really explode with his blend of size, strength, and a dash of skill. But, checking in at 24, it's not like Lawrence can fall much farther.
25.) RW Matt Marshall, Vermont (HEast)
Remember what we said about the NCAA? Freshmen rarely make an impact, so don't jump off the Matt Marshall boat too fast just because he's failed to make a dent for Vermont in his first season. He's still a fantastic skater who isn't afraid to take the body, and those are both elements that are in demand if you're looking for a sleeper to take a flyer on.

A few months ago some kids in India filmed themselves performing sexual acts with a cameraphone. The video got out and, in response, the government has banned mobile phones from public schools -- which seems to be a complete over reaction to two individuals doing something wrong. The two individuals should be punished for their actions. Instead, everyone else gets punished for having devices that could be misused. However, a new story in the US may be even worse. Picturephoning has a story about an angry teacher being caught on video by a cameraphone and then placed on the web. The teacher is seen screaming at students and then yanks the chair out from one student who refuses to stand up for the national anthem (something that the courts have made clear he doesn't need to stand for). To be honest, the quality of the video is pretty good -- so I wonder if it's really a mobile phone camera, though it certainly could be. However, the real issue is the way the school is handling the situation. First of all, the teacher wasn't disciplined at all. Instead, the students who filmed the incident were suspended for 10 days. On top of that, the school is considering banning all mobile phones just because of this incident. It's still not clear what the students did wrong here. They simply filmed a teacher going overboard -- which seems like the perfect use of mobile phone cameras. They helped these students document a teacher going too far. That's the type of use that should be encouraged. Instead, the exact opposite message is being given to students and teachers. Instead of dealing with the real issues, the school is trying to cover it up. As long as the problems aren't known, then everything must be fine.

Out of contextThe kids in the video were clearly acting disrespectfully in the first place, so the teacher's order to "stand up" could be interpreted as a disciplining measure. As my high school principal said, you have the freedom not to salute the flag, but making fun of people who do is violating their rights too.
Do we want every teenager with a bad attitude to be recording their teachers and quoting them out of context? The education system would get buried with lawsuits and false accuastions.
Daranthalis, 3 Mar 2005 @ 5:56am
Re: Out of context"The education system would get buried with lawsuits and false accuastions."
What's 'false' about the video? Clearly the accusation here *isn't* false. It was caught on video. I think Mike's questions are fair; why are the guilty being protected and the innocent suspended?
sly squirrel, 3 Mar 2005 @ 1:59pm
Re: Out of contextwhen a teacher acts like a psycho in the classroom, it doesn't matter why they are recorded, as long as my child is not around them, and they are removed from the classroom.
I never heard a teacher act like this clown did, and it does nothing in the teaching of children to loose it like this guy does. He needs to learn that staying in control in the face of such crap as these kids put out and acting intelligently is much better for the others that are there to learn than this angry outburst is.
yelling like this in the privacy of his home, or car to release his anger is the place for the emotion, as everyone would feel frustrated to face disrepect for what he was trying to do.
These kids certainly needed correction, but the teacher should have recieved it too.
Laura, 9 Feb 2007 @ 8:37am
Re: Re: Out of contextI agree with you. I think the teacher could have sent the children to the principal or counselor's office. He didnt have to yell & act like a psycho. He needs anger management classes. The kids do bad things sometimes but as a teacher you should have more self control. I think camera recordings can be used for good or bad, But they shouldnt be banned. As for the school board they should deal with this another way they shouldnt try to ban cell phones from schools.
tsw, 15 Mar 2007 @ 9:17pm
Re: Re: Re: Out of contextIt's easy to judge when it's not us who are in the situation. For those of you who are parents, have you never yelled at your kids? What if someone videotaped you and put that on the web and you are judged by that single moment as a parent? What if the footage is edited to show you in the worst possible light? As a teacher for the Los Angeles Unified School District I am all for putting a video camera in my classroom. I think it will protect me more as a teacher from people who are quick to blame teachers for the quality of education today. The banning of cellphones with cameras is meant to protect the individual rights of all the people at school. it is one thing to know you are being video taped. It is another matter to be video taped without your knowledge. The banning is also meant to protect the students who are being video taped by their peers for the intent of humiliating and bullying them.

Re: Out of contexti fail to see how a video can be a misuse of evidence, or "out of context". surely anyone behaving in such a way deserves to be sanctioned, even if, although i doubt it, it was a one tume occurence, and as fo "false accusations", how can peraps he most reliable and unchangable type of evidence around be used as somply an accusations.
I'm guessing you must be from america, as where i'm from we wuoldn't be worried about lawsuits. Typical...
Rod, 3 Mar 2005 @ 7:04am
No Subject GivenMike comments are valid. I do believe the teacher was out of line shouting at them, but we didn't see the prior behavior from the kids that led him to that state of anger, so basically we really can't judge the situation since we don�t have all the facts.
Second, is clear that the kids have no respect at all for their teacher. The teacher reacted wrong, I agree with but I think both parties are at fault from the facts given to us by the video. That lack of respect, from the teacher to their students and vice versa is the real problem here.
Teacher must respect his/her students and their rights, but as anything in life it goes both ways, the students should respect their teacher as well (there is a but here, explained below). Again, we don�t have the information of what the kids did before the video was being taken to get their teacher into that state of anger.
Now, that being said there is also the "c'mon" comment. These are teenagers behaving like teenagers, starting to challenge any system given to them. Again, the teacher overreacted and I think if he is one that cannot hold his temper or has a short fuse, he has no business teaching teenagers, it is hard in any school. Teenagers will always challenge you since that is what the teen years are all about. You can come from the more strict family, with hard discipline at home but in school become a jerk.. thats a teenager.
As a principal, I would have reprimanded severely my teacher for shouting and reacting without holding his temper. It is very hard not to loose it from time to time, but it is your job as an educator, yells and anger tantrums have never educated anyone. He provoked the situation, he should�ve just taken the unruly kids to the principal�s office and that�s it.
Brian Shock, 3 Mar 2005 @ 9:18am
Cameraphones in schoolsAs much as I despise cellphones in general, I like the idea of private citizens carrying easily accessible video equipment everywhere they go. The authorities are already starting to train cameras on everything you do; having your own record is just self defense.
Re: Cameraphones in schoolsI agree 100% with you!!
Laura, 9 Feb 2007 @ 8:27am
Re: Cameraphones in schoolsI agree with you.
Griffon, 3 Mar 2005 @ 10:46am
Hmm one sidedThe problem with type of thing is it's really incomplete evidence. What happened just before and and even an hour before. Was there a progressive and planned manipulation of the teacher to create the situation? Probable not, but still you have to wonder, and taking action on something like this that dose not clearly represent a crime which is immediately actionable would be a little odd. Also consider the privacy issues, what expectation of privacy should all involved have in closed room...seems a pretty grey area here is all I'm saying, I'm not defending anyone's actions :).
Perhaps the parents will sue over the suspension and then there will be some more precedent set.
John, 3 Mar 2005 @ 1:49pm
Re: Hmm one sidedThe full story mentioned that the kids saran-wrapped another student to his desk the day earlier, when they had a substitute teacher, and they knew that would provoke the teacher. There is also mention in the story of a longer 10 minute video originally posted which showed the kids trying to get a rise from the teacher. While the teacher was over the top, he wasn't much worse that HS teachers I had - these kids looked to be a huge pain in the butt.

Re: Hmm one sidedThere does not need to be "complete evidence" a teacher is a paid professional who acts as the gaurdian of the children while under his/her care. Children are NOT responsible for thier actions thier gaurdian is. It is the teachers responsibility to control and contain a situation before it leads to this and to make sure thier reactions do not harm a child.
The law has decided that even yelling causes mental harm.
The teacher is wrong becuase he verbally assaulted the tudents and used intimidation tactics.
The student should have been sent to the disiplanarians office and dealt with according to policy and law.

Who's To Blame In Cameraphone Recording Of TeacherIt all boils down to respect. Period
Respect for the country, respect for the student,(if he earned it), and respect for the teacher. The kid probably never had an ass woopen and the teacher probably had it wooped too much.
I vote no phones in school.

Re: Who's To Blame In Cameraphone Recording Of Teacheri bet you vote no bright colors or fancy com-pu-ters either
Steve, 17 May 2010 @ 9:07am
Re: Who's To Blame In Cameraphone Recording Of TeacherYeah, why would you tolerate that disrespect? She should have just physically assaulted a young child. That would have defused the situation. If he needs to respect our flag and country and education system more, you, as a teacher, should just hurt him, and try to ignore the fact that you represent all of the above to him more than anything in his life right now. That'll teach him what the school and his country really thinks of him.
Ding, 5 Aug 2006 @ 2:59amLike the video, we see only a part of the bigger picture. I reserve my judgement on the teacher simply because I do not have the full picture. What the teacher did could either be mild or something overboard - depending on the context.
The Indian state government did the right thing. I believe the government was aware of the offences committed by the students.
Hannaha, 25 Oct 2006 @ 4:41pmExcuse my language but banning cellphones from a school is stupid cuz of reason. All the government needs to do is pull the stick out they asses. Im writing a article About who's in control the teacher or the student? And if a teacher ever does anything like that to me they gonna wake up in the hospital
Christopher Mercer, 27 Nov 2006 @ 11:52am
Wiretapping anyone?I think something to consider is local wiretapping laws. Unknown and undisclosed recording of someone is illegal in many places. Since most schools are not considered public - like say the local mall is - privacy laws may apply. So while I disagree with teachers loosing their cool I also disagree with opportunistic teenagers taking advantage of the situation and capturing only enough video to prove their point. Two wrongs don't make it right.
What is the next step? Will cameras be placed in the classroom to show the reverse angle and other side of the story?
At the end of the day we need to look at the need for certain kinds of technology in the classroom. While camera phones may serve a certain purpose I suspect they are more disruptive than productive. I am all for productive uses of technology in the classroom that enable and increase the involvement of students.
Jonathan Ames, 27 Nov 2006 @ 5:00pm
Wiretapping lawsI agree with the previous comment by Christopher, it depends on the country or state, what the laws are regarding recording. In many U.S. states only ONE party needs to actually consent to the recording to make it legal. You can see a list of what states are one party consent states here: http://www.versadial.com/telephone_recording_laws.html or by going to wikipedia and typing in "telephone recording laws."
Re: Wiretapping lawsThe federal law is specific. All recordings in public areas are public domain and legal. A publically funded school is public property therefore subject to the federal law regarding taping, filming, picture taking in public places.
Exceptions to the law exist but are limited to: bathrooms, medical facilities, dressing rooms and places designated as secured for national interests.

Re: Re: Wiretapping lawsIs it legal for my husband and I to install a video recorder on our daughter's backpack? Our daughter attends an elementary school where the principal couldn't care less about what goes on. The teacher is so worried about the TAKS tests that her students voice -their- concerns about it, daily. (Some of the kids get sick to the point of throwing up because they are so nervous about passing the test. THESE ARE 9-YEAR OLD KIDS.)
No one seems to take anything too seriously at this school. My husband and I feel that if we record this teacher losing her temper, going overboard, and bullying the kids (as they children allege,) the footage might convice the school administration to take action against this teacher, who has been described by some of the children as, "mean" "evil" and "scary."
Any advice you offer will be appreciated. We feel that it is our right to see what's -really- going on in the classroom, but do not want a lawsuit brought against us if secretly videotaping is, in fact, illegal.
bc, 5 Dec 2006 @ 6:25pm
rights of childChildren and teachers are not equal in school systems. Teachers as professionals are bound first and foremost to act in the best interest of the child. A teacher will never reach nor teach a child anything through an angry outburst except that anger is an appropriate response to frustration. This indivdual should receive a severe punishment. But he likely will only get a gentle talking to. He will lawyer up with the help of his union and avoid any misfortune. If we wonder why children act respectfully toward others we need only look the mirror! THe have followed by example. Did he offer an apology? Anger management? A mark on his record? We hold children accountable through these means why are professionals not held to a much higher standard.
Andrew Herzman, 11 Sep 2008 @ 5:59am
Re: rights of childI remember multiple outbursts by female teachers throughout elementary school. We were all well behaved kids, but these women seemed to "snap" and start yelling for 5-10 minutes nonstop. I remember one incident that was triggered because a child started a sentence with the word "I". She wrote a big "I" on the board and started screaming about how everybody is all about "I". We were all terrified. I wish there were cellphones back in the 60's, since these women had some real issues that were damaging to such young students.
Is there a support group for kids who were subjected to that?
mitch, 29 Dec 2006 @ 9:39am
rights?In my mind it's simple. There is a group of underaged people in a classroom. The responsible adult in charge of the juviniles decided that to verbally assault and use intimidation to teach. On top he physically assaulted the child by removing the chair from under him.
There is never a time that this type of behaviour is acceptable between an adult and a child especially when that adult is "teaching" the children.
The children were wrong as well, but they are children and as such need an adult to teach them the right way of doing things. Personally i think that the teacher should be disiplined and the students should be told that the teacher acted inappropriatly.
Another issue here is the banning of cell phones from schools because they can be used to video tape people is ridiculous, they should be banned from schools because a phone is not needed for learning.
The big issue of banning people from having camaras in public places is that the governement (here in phila) has placed public camaras on the streets to scare off drug dealers and violant crime. (you can see them for yourselves on girard ave. around 10th street).
If the government can video tape me in public areas then I reserve the right to video everyone else in public places. When my children go to school I will be sure to pack their lunch with a video recorder lol.
Laura, 9 Feb 2007 @ 8:15amI think it's good for children to have a way to show their parents how they are being treated by the teachers. Many children dont have parents that will believe what they say all the time it's a good way to prove themselves. My Little brother is going thru a similar situation but he has a family that believes him many children dont have that. I dont think cell phones should be banned from schools.
Adele, 13 Apr 2007 @ 5:33pm
videoI have viewed this video in dismay and being a teacher, I can totally understand why this man lost his temper on those disgusting kids. First of all, they set him up. They recorded him and they placed the footage on the web for a public humiliation, what's wrong with our society? I can't believe that no one has mentioned the fact that those kids were swearing at this teacher and he obviously lost it because they were taunting him. He didn't throw the kid of the chair he gently removed it from under him. I am so sick of the way in which we study educators under the microscope. Are children accountable for their behaviour? Not only should they be suspended, but cell phones should be banned from classrooms period! They are used as tools to subjugate people to horrible public humiliation. Is this the modern method of witch hunting?
Jill, 8 May 2008 @ 4:16pm
Dearest AquadaisyLook people. Teaching is an incredibly difficult job. If you have never taught, you will never begin to imagine what it takes to teach. I can guarantee most of you couldn't do it. If anything teachers aren't allowed to discipline enough. Unfortunately we have a society of people who think their children can do no wrong. I find that parents that want to make excuses for their children's behavior are the reason children continue to have incredibly disrespectful and dangerous behavior. For instance, I have a child in my class that bullies and threatens the lives of other children. Yes mom and dad, this child says, "I'm going to kill you, " to other students. He brought a knife to school. The parent came to school today, interrupted my class to pull me out in the hallway. She told me off because she thinks he should be able to get water "whenever he pleases." Of course I want my students to be hydrated and comfortable. But with a class of 22 eight year olds, they can't just get up and get water whenever the feeling hits them. We would never get anything done. I especially can't trust a child that threatens other students and brings a knife to school.
All children are going to say teachers are mean. Teachers have to be stern and even lose their tempers or they would never control a class.
Aquadaisy, go ahead, make excuses for your lousy, spoiled child. Suppose you do videotape the 'evil' teacher. One of those 'evil' teachers that chose teaching as a career because they actually wanted to contribute to the world and help people learn. That 'scary' teacher that could make TWICE as much money having an easier job. I'm sure they wanted to teach just to be 'mean' to children.
Because Aquadaisy, I know that teacher will be better off than you, even if you record them, gasp, 'losing his or her temper.' YOU will reap the consequences of not disciplining your child. YOU will have to live with your ungrateful and disrespectful child and the pathetic adult they become.
And for all of you that are not supportive of teachers: YOU are the reason people leave teaching by the masses and no one wants to teach. I know I will be able to educate my child. You deserve the education system you demise.
Joanna, 16 May 2008 @ 1:35am
Re: Dearest AquadaisyThank you ! You are so right.
rabbit, 9 Oct 2009 @ 11:26am
disciplineI believe that the youth of today are getting away with practically anything they want. Why these kids have all of this expensive technology in the first place boggles my mind? Did they buy it? No, their parents wasted the money! When I was a student my teachers constantly disciplned us by yelling: Half the time it was the only thing that worked and we absolutely deserved it. In junior high, my math teacher threw a desk at a rotten student, who completely deserved it. I agree that this teacher should not have been disciplined. This is a school with sense! Those little rotters deserved more than a suspension! Like they would get away with that in the work force? Not likely. Personally I blame parents. I knew that if I came home from school after misbehaving BOTH my parents would have smacked me good, and then made me apologize to my teacher. Why are there so many teen pregnencies? Stabbings? Shootings among kids? Because of lack of proper discipline. The worst thing they ever did was take the strap out of school. What these kids today need is a good, hard smack in the head. Maybe they'd think twice!
Sharazel, 12 May 2010 @ 1:10am
Why, back in my day...Look at all this BS! "Kids shouldn't be allowed to have cellphones!" "Teaching is sooooo difficult, you couldn't POSSIBLY understand!" "Those kids must have egged him on, so we can forgive him for being a violent, screaming psycho."
You shove a bunch of teenagers into classrooms all day, forcing them to submit to unknown authority, respect the words of those who haven't earned it, who have no connection to them other than what is forced on them. You feed them amphetamines to help them concentrate. You create an ever more restrictive environment, where every schoolyard scuffle winds up involving police, and girls are prosecuted for teasing another girl who commits suicide. You try to fit some pre-designed chunk of knowledge into brains already dealing with more information than they ever did before, whether or not it suits them at all, in part because these days, tragically, a college degree, and therefore college prep, has become almost essential in making any sort of decent living.
The school system is not designed to educate, it is designed to program, to make compliant little corporate drones. Human nature rebels against such conditioning, and so the students are unruly. This teacher is part of a dehumanizing system set up for the profit of a few at the expense of the many. You think you're noble, but you're just tools, and you deserve to be disrespected.
Paul, 17 May 2010 @ 10:07am
What the hell?Seriously? This video, that shows nothing, shows a teacher "losing his temper"? If this is evidence of that, then you people are STUPID. He just yells. Big deal. As far as "kicking" the chair out from under someone? Did the child fall and hit the ground? No. He just got bitchy because someone was making him be respectful. This is a pathetic excuse by fucking teenagers to make something out of nothing. Congrats for aiding it.
Jude Wade, 17 May 2010 @ 3:54pmShould not camera use in classrooms then be encouraged? It is one thing to regulate use and confine it to before and after school, but if teachers are yelling at children or exhibiting misconduct should we not praise the wise use of civil disobedience?
Anonymous Coward, 7 Mar 2011 @ 7:19pmyour so stupid, your goal is to trying and catch bad teachers. try teaching today and lets see how long you last. most leave within the first 3 years because of students who are trying to sue the district you shuold be shoot
Kathleen Bailey, 4 Oct 2013 @ 6:25am
video taping in class with a camera phoneBeing a teacher who was recently videoed without my permission or knowledge until after the fact, I think the students should be punished. It's against the law, they should know better and it's perfectly rude to film without the teacher's permission, whether it's for good or evil, it's wrong. Permission should always be asked for in any situation involving a person's image on video!

Conference in Stockholm
Graham Jolley is a special and unique Entertainer. We have enjoyed him on three different cruises. He rivets people's attention with his wit and humour, and his 'quick on his feet' approach. Also, we appreciate that he is confident enough in himself that he doesn't have to rely on crude language or risqué references in order to supplement his show.
Thank you again for the wonderful performance on Sunday, you were the talk of the party and the perfect choice for the day. We are still quoting your great jokes and reliving the totally inexplicable mind reading you did. You absolutely made our day.
Just had to write and tell you how amazing Graham Jolley was at the Lloyds Bank luncheon at the tower of London on Friday. His act is truly mind boggling. I sat at a table nearest to the stage and was totally baffled at his tricks. Thank you so much for a very entertaining afternoon.
Amazing reception at the Hinkley Business Awards
Opera House Blackpool where Graham was awarded the Ken Dodd Award for entertainment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chairman Ben Bernanke offered a wide-ranging defense Monday of the Federal Reserve's bold policies to stimulate the still-weak U.S. economy.
The Fed needs to drive down borrowing rates because the economy isn't growing fast enough to reduce high unemployment, Bernanke said in a speech to the Economic Club of Indiana. The unemployment rate is 8.1 percent.
Low rates could also help shrink the federal budget deficit by easing the government's borrowing costs and generating tax revenue from stronger growth, Bernanke argued.
The chairman cautioned Congress against adopting a law that would allow it to review the Fed's interest-rate policy discussions. The House has passed legislation to give Congress' investigative arm broader authority to audit the Fed, including reviewing its interest-rate policymaking. The Senate hasn't adopted the bill.
Bernanke warned that such a step would improperly inject political pressure into the Fed's private deliberations and make officials less likely to act.
His speech follows the Fed's decision at its Sept. 12-13 meeting to launch a new mortgage-buying program to try to help boost the housing market, spur hiring and accelerate economic growth. The Fed said it would keep buying the bonds until the job market showed substantial improvement. It also decided to keep its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero through at least mid-2015.
In his speech, Bernanke sought to reassure investors that the Fed's timetable for keeping rates low "doesn't mean we expect the economy to be weak through 2015." Rather, he said the Fed expects to keep rates low well after the economy strengthens.
Bernanke spoke two days before President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney will hold a debate in which the economy is the central theme. And on Friday, the government will release its September jobs report. Economists expect only modest hiring gains and continued unemployment above 8 percent.

Home renovators are risking death by not protecting themselves from asbestos, according to an article in the latest issue of the Medical Journal of Australia.
Research based on a NSW questionnaire shows around six in ten DIY renovators have been exposed to asbestos, but fewer than 15 per cent say they regularly use protection.
A high proportion of home renovators say other family members, including children, have been exposed as well.
Just under a third say they use protection occasionally.
Asbestos can lead to deadly malignant mesothelioma many years after exposure, and the article says Australia has one of the highest rates of the cancer in the world.
Asbestos has been banned in Australia since the 1970s, but all homes built before the mid-1980s are potentially risky.
The researchers, led by Associate Professor Deborah Yates from St Vincents Hospital in Sydney, acknowledge there is a lack of clarity about how much exposure is dangerous.
"Whether exposure during home renovation will result in disease in the future remains to be seen. However, this entirely preventable exposure needs to be addressed," they write.

Monday 28th January 2013
1Xtra listeners got a treat on Friday when legendary UK rapper Sway joined Charlie Sloth for a full 30 minutes of chat and banter.
Listen back here.
Sway also treated Charlie to an exclusive first play of his brilliant new single "Still Sway & Kane". The track features the lyrical talents of seminal East London rapper and star of Channel 4's "Top Boy" Kano, along with upcoming talent Tigger Da Author (who joined Sway and Charlie on the show). The single got a lot of love from Charlie and his listeners!
Inspired by Sway's favourite producer – hip-hop superstar Dr Dre – the track samples the Dre classic "Still D.R.E". "Still Sway & Kane" had existed in demo form for some time but a chance meeting with Dre prompted Sway to release it as a single, putting a sharp UK spin on one of the most recognised songs in rap history.
The teaser video for the "Still Sway & Kane" went live on Vevo this weekend. If you didn't see it already you can watch it here. AND there's a behind the scenes video too.
Sway was on the road all weekend supporting Trey Songz in Leeds and Birmingham. If you missed him, you can still catch him live in the next couple of months.
Sway will headline Proud Galleries in London this Friday, February 1st – info AND he's appearing with Example later in the month – dates.

Eric Church vs. the Mavericks – The Showdown
There is a new Showdown champion! After almost record voting yesterday and last night on Taste of Country Nights radio, Eric Church's new single 'Creepin" kinged Tim McGraw's 'Truck Yeah' by an almost two-to-one margin. The fourth single from Church's 'Chief' album seems poised to be another big song for the North Carolina-born country star. It could even become his third straight No. 1 hit.
Today, Church's competition will be country legends the Mavericks, who are making a strong comeback with their new song 'Born to Be Blue.' The group sounds refreshed after a few years apart, and the new single fuses their classic sound with today's modern style. It's as easy of a song to sing along with as you'll find on country radio today. Instantly, the track stands alone as an original.
Listen to clips of both Church's and the Mavericks' songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour online, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. Hear the full versions of the songs tonight after 10PM on Taste of Country Nights, and vote again by calling (888) 678-9995. You can listen to the show online through any of the 33 radio stations that carry it. Voting will end tonight at 10:40PM CT.
Listen to a Sample of Eric Church, Creepin"
Listen to a Sample of the Mavericks', 'Born to Be Blue'
Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour. If a song wins five days in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.

PARIS (Reuters) – An assailant opened fire at the central Paris office of left-wing daily newspaper Liberation on Monday, seriously injuring one person before fleeing, police and staff at the newspaper said.
The wounded person was hit in the chest, a police official said, adding that the motive of the attacker, who was armed with a hunting rifle, was unclear.
"He walked in, fired twice and left," Liberation's editorial manager, Fabrice Rousselot, told reporters.
Deputy editor-in-chief Fabrice Tassel said in a tweet that the young male victim, — a photograhper's assistant — was fighting for his life in hospital.
"As long as this person is still on the loose and we do not know the motives, this represents a threat," Interior Minister Manuel Valls told reporters outside Liberation's offices after visiting the scene. "We must move fast."
Police deployed outside the offices of other media outlets in the French capital.
The mid-morning incident came days after an armed intruder entered the offices of the BFM television channel, threatening journalists before disappearing. Rousselot said it was not clear whether the two incidents were linked.
Liberation's offices near the Place de la Republique in east-central Paris were cordoned off as forensics experts investigated.
Rousselot said the assailant was apparently a short-haired man in his 40s.

Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them. This week John Patricelli, the Big Bear Butt Blogger, brings you news of one of the coolest Druid events to hit the World of Warcraft.
Despite the impression you may get from previous articles, being a Druid isn't all about raiding. Not hardly. The essence of the Druid is flexibility, the ability to think fast and adapt to changing situations quickly.
Today, I'm going to highlight the kind of imaginative, flexible thinking and sense of fun that I feel is at the heart of being a Druid.
On Saturday, April 26th, a group of Druids from the Penny Arcade Alliance gathered together into a murder of crows, and proceeded to terrorize the unsuspecting Horde of the Dark Iron server.

The non-medical benefits of medical tape
I live in Canada and its getting progressively cooler, yet until recently I had no winter coat. My last coat had been reduced to nothing but a polyester shell of its former snuggly existence. So off I ventured into a crowded mall (places with a large amount of people now freak me out for some reason - I think someone might fall down the stairs and on my next shift I'd see them wincing in pain) to troll through numerous stores and aisles. My venture was met with success – I walked away with a stylish, warm and grossly overpriced coat. However when I attempted to get through the entrance to the subway, my bag got caught in the revolving door and it ripped leaving my shiny new purchase exposed for all to see. That's when I started to dig around my oversized bag for a roll of tape and then realized that in an attempt to temporarily shed my nurse identity, I cleared out my bag and left all my supplies at home. Medical tape would have been greatly helpful in patching up my now extremely ghetto looking shopping bag. Lesson of the story – don't ever leave your house without wallet, keys, phone and tape.

I'm loving the cat torture one! I should do that to my cat when I need him to stay in one place while I clean the floors... Never again will I leave the house without tape!
