Anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis won't be surprised at the results of a new survey released today showing that teacher satisfaction is way down. According to the MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, teacher satisfaction has decreased by 15 points from two years ago and is at the lowest level in more than two decades of the survey. (As the perfect companion piece, please read this essay by a teacher in training.)
Among the survey's major findings:
•Teacher job satisfaction has dropped 15 points since 2009, from 59% who were very satisfied to 44% who are very satisfied, the lowest level in over 20 years.
• The percentage of teachers who say they are very or fairly likely to leave the profession has increased by 12 points since 2009, from 17% to 29%.
•The percentage of teachers who do not feel their job is secure has grown since 2006 from eight percent to 34%.
• Majorities of parents and teachers say that public school teachers are treated as professionals by the community (71% of parents, 77% of teachers), that public school teachers' health insurance benefits are fair for the work they do (63% of parents, 67% of teachers), and that public school teachers' retirement benefits are fair for the work they do (60% of parents, 61% of teachers).
•Slightly more than half (53%) of parents and two-thirds (65%) of teachers say that public school teachers' salaries are not fair for the work they do.
•Teachers with lower job satisfaction are less likely than others to feel that their job is secure (56% vs. 75%) or that they are treated as a professional by the community (68% vs. 89%).
•Teachers with lower job satisfaction are more likely to be in schools that have had layoffs of teachers (49% vs. 37%) or other school staff (66% vs. 49%), or the reduction or elimination of arts or music programs (28% vs. 17%), after-school programs (34% vs. 23%), or health or social services (31% vs. 23%).
•Teachers with lower job satisfaction are more likely to report that in the last year they have seen increases in: average class size (70% vs. 53%), students and families needing health or social services (70% vs. 56%), students coming to school hungry (40% vs. 30%), students leaving to go to another school (22% vs. 12%), and students being bullied/harassed (17% vs. 10%).
"Often, we hear how important teachers are. But this survey tells us what teachers themselves are thinking, and it's very sobering," said American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten in a statement. "Teachers are telling us they have the lowest level of job satisfaction in more than two decades and that a growing number are planning to leave the profession."
"U.S. teachers are frustrated with unrelenting cuts in budgets, elimination of arts and after-school programs, larger class sizes, and accountability systems that over-rely on student test scores," she said. "This should call into question the obsession with cutting funding for public education and health and family services children and parents rely on.
From the executive summary of the survey:
Teachers are less satisfied with their careers; in the past two years there has been a significant decline in teachers' satisfaction with their profession. In one of the most dramatic findings of the report, teacher satisfaction has decreased by 15 points since the MetLife Survey of the American Teacher measured job satisfaction two years ago, now reaching the lowest level of job satisfaction seen in the survey series in more than two decades.
This decline in teacher satisfaction is coupled with large increases in the number of teachers who indicate that they are likely to leave teaching for another occupation and in the number who do not feel their jobs are secure.
Several factors distinguish teachers with high job satisfaction from those with lower satisfaction. Teachers with high job satisfaction are more likely to feel their jobs are secure and say they are treated as a professional by the community. They are also more likely to have adequate opportunities for professional development, time to collaborate with other teachers, more preparation and supports to engage parents effectively, and greater involvement of parents and their schools in coming together to improve the learning and success of students.
Overall, majorities of both parents and teachers say teachers are treated as professionals by the community and that teachers' health insurance and retirement benefits are fair for the work they do. However, majorities of parents and teachers do not feel that teachers' salaries are fair for the work they do.
The effects of the economic downturn are felt widely and deeply in education. More than three quarters of teachers have faced budget cuts in their schools in the last year. These budget reductions have been enacted across the full range of school types: urban, suburban and rural schools, as well as in schools with either low or high concentrations of low-income students, minority students and English language learner (ELL) students. Two-thirds of teachers report that their schools have had layoffs of teachers, parent/community liaisons or other staff in the last year.
Teachers in schools where layoffs of classroom teachers have occurred are more likely to have witnessed the reduction or elimination of programs and services in their schools. Overall, more than one-third of teachers experienced reductions or eliminations of programs in arts or music, foreign language, or physical education in the last year. Nearly three in ten teachers indicate that there have been reductions or eliminations of health or social services in their schools.
Beyond reductions in staffing, programs, and services, six in 10 teachers report that the average class size in their school has increased. One-third of teachers also indicate that educational technology and materials have not been kept up to date to meet student needs, while two in 10• report that school facilities have not been kept in clean or good condition.
At the same time teachers report a reduction in school budgets, programs, and services, students and their families report an increase in needs. A majority of teachers across schools of all demographic types reports that the number of students and families requiring health and social support services has increased in the past year. Economic fears are also on the minds of students and their parents. Two- thirds of students and nearly three-quarters of parents worry about their families not having enough money for the things they need. Majorities of students and parents also worry about the parents' losing or not being able to find a job.
School budget cuts are associated with an additional negative impact. Four in 10 teachers and parents of students are pessimistic that levels of student achievement will increase in the next five years. Teachers and parents who report that their schools' budgets have decreased are more likely to be pessimistic that the level of student achievement will improve than those in schools whose budgets have remained the same or increased.

So Maureen day after day , as you provide us with your ongoing daily diatribe with dreadful statistics and questionable reports and studies as to how the current public education system has failed us and our kids. Besides an obvious and what appears to be an unambiguous support for a preparation for a stage for a support of a school voucher payment system. A well known, popular Republican interest and answer to such issues. I would like to ask of you, where do you stand as a journalist, after reviewing such statistics and reports? Which avenue do you think we should take or look forward to improve such a failing process other than the obvious. Informed as you are, many of us would welcome an informed opinion as to what and where do we start to improve on the current system that has had many more past success stories despite its multiple failures. Mind you that the majority of the many Georgia residents that you pass to and from the office and those who pass you as you walk the halls and the many desks at the office of the AJC are successful graduates of that same local system. Bad as it is, you must admit, it has produced many of America's current leaders and many more productive citizens Inquiring minds would love to hear your thoughtful opinion.

By and large, teachers are no longer treated as professionals. The knowledge, judgment, and discretion of professionals are respected. Professionals are not snoopervised, but teachers are now snoopervised and dictated to. They are put in straight jackets and have to go by prescriptive curricula and teach within cookie cutter methodologies. Why would they be satisfied? They are the convenient scapegoats for all that is wrong with public education. Their power has been taken away when it comes to academics and student conduct in the classroom. When students come to class with no motivation to learn and actually refuse to learn and are determined to disrupt the class, the teacher is blamed for this and their careers are affected (via skewed and biased evaluations) because of the lack of effort of many of the students. All the teachers can do is teach the students; they can't learn the students no more than a physician can heal their patients.

As you well-know, an overwhelming majority of our colleagues are quite willing to acquiesce in being bullied, "snoopervised," dictated to, disrespected, having their classes disrupted et al. with only low-voiced whines to close associates or with anonymous postings on blogs as expressions of dissatisfaction. Too few have the courage to join you and MACE and fight for their professional dignity.
We teachers can't begin to straighten things out until we stand up and stand shoulder-to-shoulder.

Don't know the answer, just posing the question. If 80,000 teachers (or how ever many PAGE/GAE claim to have these days) joined an organization that unwaveringly supported teachers-advocated FOR discipline and AGAINST administrative retaliation, how much better MIGHT teaching conditions be in Georgia?
Maybe teachers need to look at this survey and ask themselves to what extent they are ACTIVE CO-CREATORS in their own misery?
No wonder Fled, fled. But he doesn't have to ask HIMSELF that question these days LOL

The problems are indeed myriad. There have certainly been failures on the part of teachers. Possibly, however, much of the blame could lie with expectations. What, precisely, do you want, Mr. Public? Do you want me to take your apathetic youth and make them all successful college-ready graduates? Do you want me to teach as many as I can as much as I can? Do you want me to try to make sure that 20-plus year administrators have as easy a time of it as possible? Those three options (three among many) are mutually exclusive. I would argue that the first is unattainable. The last I'm uninterested in (thus much of the survey dissatisfaction). The middle path – yeah, that's what I want to do. BUT, I am actively blocked from it on a daily basis. You, Mr Public, demanded results in the form of EOCT success. Last year I had a 90% pass rate for my students on the Math 1 EOCT (No cheating and I do NOT have the "honors" kids in my school), so this year more and more stuff has been piled on, more prescriptive models have been foisted, and more administrative micro-management has reared its head. I have not been able to do my job this year. What do you want, Mr. Public?

@ Dr. Trotter
Is there any way possible you can send me your email addy? I have a question for you about a specific administrative issue.
March 7th, 2012
7:56 am
You make some excellent points. One of the fundamental problems with education right now is that the public and the government that (supposedly) represents it does not know what they want from teachers or from public schools. If I had to guess, I would say that they want babysitters and socialization specialists…but they are unwilling to accept the expectations and discipline that is handed out to their students. They want well trained, college material students…but they are unwilling to accept the standards and rigor associated with true college prep classes–to say nothing of honors or AP level classes. In short, they want success on all fronts…but they are unwilling to accept any of thte steps it takes to get there.
When I was young, I was taught that nothing is ever given to you; that you have to work hard and EARN the things you want in life. Hard work is the path to success, and even though everyone doesn't start on the same level playing field, you can level the playing field later in life by obtaining a better education and pouring yourself into your goals and aspirations. But the bottom line is this: no one wants to work hard anymore.
Because hard work is just too dang hard.

The educational ship will right itself when teachers are free to teach and run an innovative classroom, when admin stops being obsessively micromanaging, and students are once again held to a fair and disciplined standard. No more. No less.
Instead, we have people who have no idea about sound educational practice making decisions that further exacerbate the problems. It's kind of like the inmates running the prison…

Dirty classrooms , overcrowded classes, lack of respect from parents and administrators are some of the reasons teachers feel their environment has degraded. What people need to realize is that the children share the environment of the teacher. Give the teacher a poor environment and you place every one of his students in a poor environment.
The difference IMHO is that the teacher has a choice and can leave that poor environment, while most of his students cannot. The students are trapped in that environment, merely exchanging one teacher who exits for a other who comes in. This is the dirty little secret in education. Teacher attrition is very high in the worst environments and the worst environments occur in the poorest areas. Their parents protest the least and have the least money to augment the educational program. Until we "rightsize" our priorities and redirect money and respect back to the classroom, teacher morale will continue to erode.

In DeKalb, teachers are threatened everyday by the "leaders". Take one look at the videos that Ron Ramsey produced at DCSS and you can see there is no respect for the teachers in our system. We must take the politicians out of the equation if we really want change. Of course that will not happen, since so many are power hungry and once they get into leadership positions they take advantage of the very people who are tasked to make things right, our teachers.
Start paying the good teachers, talk to the kids who have shown good results with the teachers and ask them how their teacher helped? There are always bad kids who will lie to get a teacher in trouble, but if we ask the kids who are successful, like the young man from Cross Keys, maybe they can put a finger an what's exactly happening in our class rooms.
I'm amazed at what the science teachers have to do in DCSS, since most of their money is spent at one facility, the Fernbank Science Center. That said, my middle schooler loves his science teacher, she engages with the kids and makes their learning experience FUN! Let's take the politics out of the school system. People like Ron Ramsey, have no business being employed by DCSS, he has other responsibilities that takes him away from his DCSS mission and the only way he can lead is by using idle threats. How can Ramsey do his job at DCSS when he is working under the Gold Dome for three to four months every year? I understand others have real jobs too, but when it comes to ethics at a school system I would prefer having a full timer on board.
I personally think a BILLION dollars is enough to run a system, the size of DeKalb's, for a year. if our leaders are unable to balance their budgets and be honest about it then I say let's show them the door and find someone capable of leading.

@ Dr. Craig Spinks, 1:24 am, and Beverly Fraud, 4:50 am.
Let me ask you this honest question (before Ole Guy sounds his bugle call to pusillanimous teachers): wouldn't your suggestions require the practical step first of amending our right-to-work state constitution? That's not likely to happen, given that the business interests in this state oppose unions with all they have. So might there be a chance of getting an amendment passed that EXEMPTS educators in some way from the constitutional prohibitions against unionizing? Education is not the same thing as a business. (No wisecracks, please.)
Just asking as an outsider.

Well Prof I'm talking more about the "mindset" than anything. And when teachers, in their current atmosphere of administrative RETALIATION, make organizations that represent ADMINISTRATORS their organization of choice, it makes about as much sense as chickens going to Truett Cathy and asking him to advocate for the their collective "career advancement" opportunities.

It is really hurtful and insensitve in these economic times for teachers to be complaining about their careers. "Teachers are less satisfied with their careers."
Teachers have careers with real benefits and pensions. At least 10% of this entire country is without work. Most are out of work through no fault of their own.
I'll be any of them would be happy to have a career right now, especially one with a steady income and good benefits.
It's blogs like these and comments like the whiner on the other blog that give government employees a bad reputation.
If you have a job, be thankful for it. If you have a stead income, rejoice. If you have a career with a steady income and benefits, get down on your knees and thank whatever God you worship because you are one fortunate American.

Your wrong GM. Employment rate is well below 10% and approching 8%. You always miss the point. It is a survey. People tend to do a better job and work harder when they are satisfied, feel needed and are generally happy. This survey shows, yet again, the complex issue of education and all the variables that play into educating children. Your answer is always to point the finger at teachers first. Once again you are wrong on many levels.

@GM "It is really hurtful and insensitve in these economic times for teachers to be complaining about their careers. "
I will complain as much as I please, thank you very much. I complain, not so much for myself, but because the changes I see happening in education are affecting my ability to DO MY JOB and EDUCATE my students to the best of my ability. I WILL always advocate for what is best for my students, and I would think any parent would appreciate teachers who fight for the benefit of their students.

Job Satisfaction, who taught you to read and write? Are the teachers who are good teachers complaining about their jobs or not being allowed to do their jobs? You need to take off your visors and listen to what the teachers are saying: We are not allowed to teach the children in front of us because we are being forced to canned teaching that has been created by people who are not teachers. This is inappropriate.

This is meant as a serious comment not as a shameless plug for MACE. But John Trotter's organization's leadership seems to have the combination of intellect, moxey and salesmanship required to begin the process of bringing us teachers together.
Unfortunaely, I don't know enough about the GA constitution to comment intelligently about what it allows. However, MACE seems to be pretty effective while operating under any constraints against employees' organizing for professional purposes imposed by our state's constitution.

You think that teachers should be happy with whatever pitiful working conditions there may be because others may suffer? Are you kidding me?
Who are you? Who are you to judge? Why do you feel qualified to tell teachers that we should somehow feel lucky or fortunate?
You routinely post on these education blogs negative comments about teachers. Have you ever even been in the profession at all? ….Let me guess – you feel qualified because you have been a student. LOL!

@ Dr. Craig Spinks. Please see a dialogue on the same subject of teachers' unions in the blog centered around the letter by a present Education graduate student, with Dr. John Trotter chiming in.
I simply Googled for Georgia's Constitution, and found the relevant section…as well as quite a bit of information on the "right-to-work" states. It seems to me that there ought to be some way that an official teachers' union could be formed here by observing the letter of the law only, which relates to methods of collecting dues, and now picketing since the Senate bill just passed relating to that. But that's not all there is to unions!
I simply wish that there were some way that the various teachers' organizations that now exist could join forces for the greater good… become a genuine branch of NEA with collective bargaining powers. Maybe that could be the one good legacy of the cheating scandal that has unfolded for APS, and is still unfolding for other school systems in the state. And I do have faith that some administrators are horrified by that scandal too…that it is not just a "them" and "us" mentality.

Alfred State College - All News Topics
As the new semester officially opens, Alfred State proudly welcomes 15 new employees.
On Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, Alfred State and Alfred University will be working together to host a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.
Alfred State has made quite a few lists and earned some prestigious awards this year—from Cosmopolitan's best colleges for meeting men to being named a best lifetime return on investment in the state. Here are just a few to ring in the New Year.
From now through the end of January, visitors to Hinkle Memorial Library can escape the winter doldrums and spend time appreciating the natural world through a blend of photography and the Giclee printing process.
"The whole idea was to make it as energy efficient as possible," Brubaker said. As per the Governor of New York's Executive Order 88, all state facilities have been directed to reduce energy consumption by 2020. Brubaker is confident that this renovation will not only be part of fulfilling that directive but also provide an example for other institutions and campuses to follow.
"Our students made an impressive showing," says Tim Piotrowski, of Jamestown, an assistant professor of Civil Engineering Technology at Alfred State who accompanied them on their trip. "These were real-world simulations with real-world deadlines and all the associated stress. But our students excel at those types of challenges."
The groups will be sponsoring 'Operation Shoebox/Christmas Child' and will have collection boxes available at the concert. Donated item suggestions are small toys, facecloths, soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pencils, tablets, crayons, etc. The shoeboxes will be filled and sent to children all over the world.
Former ASA Cryptographer and Professor of English Emeritus, Joe Flynn, Gives Honors Talk about Spy Drones and the NSA
Dr. Lisa McCool met with Honors Program members and guests on Nov. 6, 2013, to discuss the Peruvian economy and climate. Dr. McCool also described the trip she will take to that country with 12 students next May.
The college community is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Eric Michael Green. Eric, previously reported missing, was located in Almond, NY. At this time, the evidence shows no foul play.

Please do not buy Chilean sea bass. This is a fish caught in the Ross Sea area of the Antarctic Ocean, perhaps the last remaining pristine marine environment on earth. This fish - its real name is the Antarctic toothfish - is crucial to the ecosystem there. Currently we are campaigning to stop the fishing, and the possible fatal impact on whales and seals. Please watch http://www.greenpeace.org/new-zealand/en/blog/the-last-ocean-film/blog/41344/ and you will understand. Thank you.

In its review of the 1913 Armory Show, entitled Lawless Art, the magazine Art and Progress decried the work displayed by "extremists" who, had their work "been excluded, this exhibition would have attracted no more notice than the hundred and one other exhibitions that are successively held in New York." About this they were right. The reviewer personifies these quieter exhibitions as "a comely woman modestly gowned" that "can pass through any crowded thoroughfare without attracting attention, but let her bedeck herself gayly and improperly and every head will be turned in her direction."
In actuality 1913 did more than turn heads, it spun them on there axes Exorcist style, as revolutionary artists unleashed battalions of esthetic floozies improperly bedecked in Cubist, Post-Impressionist and Dadaist dress on unready publics from the rioters at the Paris premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring to the reviewers of the much-scorned exhibition of art at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York.
Around the corner from our New York home at his tiny 291 gallery — where many of the most controversial European artists had first been show in America — Alfred Stieglitz resolved to build on the new momentum brought to insurgent art, at 291 and in his art journal by the same name. In Mental Reactions, poet Agnes Ernst Meyer contemplates the dangers of a life lived silently as her words cleave themselves into phrase-shapes interlaced with the jagged forms of artist Marius de Zayas. We're celebrating the centennial of the pivotal moment when the compass of art descended a staircase and the world irrevocably lost its bearings at this year's Armory Show and all year long — on the blog and in the streets.
In 1912, Alfred Stieglitz presented a showcase of water colors, drawings and pastels by children in his epochal gallery 291, named for its address on Fifth Avenue, around the corner from The Breslin Hotel where Ace Hotel New York now makes its home. The gallery was the first to introduce Americans to revolutionary European artists like Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Brancusi, Picabia, Duchamp, Rodin and Rousseau, as well as homegrown visionaries like Paul Strand, Edward Steichen, Alfred Maurer and Georgia O'Keeffe. It was also the first American gallery to treat children's art as something worthy of contemplation. In 1913, The Armory Show brought many of the artists first shown in America at 291 to the masses, and the mainstream press, to a famously mixed reception. As we approach the centennial of the original Armory Show in March 2013, and our own celebratory gallery show in the lobby of excerpts from the show's Focus section — a look at thriving but under-recognized art communities around the world — we'll take a few glances back at the little gallery around the corner that changed everything.

It wasn't surprising to discover that Garr Reynolds lives in Japan. The principles he established for Presentation Zen reflect the simple, subtle, and practical, yet engaging and complex characteristics of traditional Japanese aesthetics.

text: ETB Travel News > Australia > Aer Lingus Dublin to New York JFK Aer Lingus Dublin to New York JFK November 21, 2011 Australia, Europe, Flight Review No comments Aer Lingus Business Class check-in area Aer Lingus Business Class lounge Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 Carrier: Aer LingusFlight Number: EI109 departing 15:45Duration: 7.5 hours Class: Business ClassConfiguration: 2-2-2 in four rows Check-in experience: Simple and easy. Lounge: The Aer Lingus Business Class lounge at DUB is an expansive, state of the art facility. Located in the sparkling Terminal 2, the two-storey lounge offers multiple sitting areas where eating, working, reading, or relaxing are all catered for. The upstairs area is particularly quiet and enjoyed by those passengers seeking a gentle place to enjoy the mod but ergonomic armchairs.On-time performance:The flight departed ten minutes late and arrived five minutes late. Seat/Cabin conditions:The Business Class cabin is spacious on this A330-300, with only six seats across the cabin width instead of the 2-3-2 configuration some other airlines have in their Business Class cabin. Seats are wide and comfortable; the individual sections of the seat can be adjusted exactly as desired rather than being pre-programmed to go to specific positions only. The side armrest can be lowered to allow for even more armroom. Everything is immaculately clean and orderly.Food And Beverage:As always on Aer Lingus, the F&B service was exceptional. With the flight originating in Ireland, the freshest of Irish produce was offered on an appealing menu. The size of the filet mignon medallions served to the gentleman next to me rivalled what would be expected in a restaurant on the ground. A separate cheese course in the finest European tradition had Guinness-infused cheese matched with accompanying fruit. Decadent desserts followed, as did a second meal service later in the journey.Service:It was all men at the front of the plane on this trip, and the lads couldn't do enough to ensure the passengers in the nearly full Business Class cabin were well looked after, more than once taking that extra step to get their job done in satisfying the requests of the customers.Entertainment:The on-demand entertainment system offered a number of interesting choices, which are listed on the Aer Lingus website before travel takes place. Noise-cancelling headphones make it easy to focus on the onscreen action. Arrival: Things moved quickly at JFK on arrival. Immigration, baggage claim, and the walk to the Airtrain all went without a hitch. Overview: Improvements in infrastructure in Dublin mean that departure from Dublin Airport is a much more enjoyable experience than it used to be. First of all, the tunnel funnelling traffic from the city centre to the northern suburbs enables airport-bound travellers to make the journey to DUB with reduced fear of being caught in congestion in the local streets. There was no traffic at all on this Thursday afternoon. Second, Terminal 2, which was celebrating the first anniversary of its opening in November 2010, is a wonderfully user-friendly facility. With the Business Class lounge airside, passengers can relax until the very last minute before proceeding to the departure gate having already passed through security.

I'm liking the striped wool blankets.
....except it isn't available in the US. Some of the items (like the bedding in the first pic) can't ship outside of the UK.
I love that grey jersey bedding. Looks like I'll be off to shop at that store.
Tequila Red - it is available, just not by express shipping. So you'll have to wait a bit longer, but it's a bit cheaper than express.
If you live in the UK, great, in the US, not so great.
Nope. Click through and you'll see on most items a note under the description that says ONLY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPPING WITHIN THE UK.
Ahaha In all caps too, I don't even know how I missed that. It's odd that the Delivery tab for that item IS filled out for international deliveries.
really nice, and it'll probably be in the US at some point (and hopefully they won't come out with linens that say FCUK all over it:))
Ooh nice. For those in the US - you could use a freight forwarder. I'm in Australia and not much gets sent down here. Have used freight forwarders with much success from both the States to here and also from the UK.
Am I allowed to put a name I've used? Www.borderlinx.com.

Billionaire Jim Simons' RenTech Picked These Stocks Recently
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
We have found that 13F filings from hedge funds and other notable investors--even though they are filed six to seven weeks after the end of the quarter for which the filing discloses many long equity position--can still be useful for the financial community. Pooling these filings into a database has enabled us to develop investing strategies including following the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds; this strategy has, on average, outperformed the S&P 500 by 18 percentage points per year (learn more about hedge fund investing strategies). Of course, investors can also use 13Fs as an opportunity to see what top managers think about the markets.
Renaissance Technologies has been a very successful hedge fund over the course of its history, and founder Jim Simons is now a multi-billionaire. We have gone through the fund's 13F for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared it to previous filings, and picked out what we thought were some interesting themes in Renaissance's trading activity over the course of Q4. Read on for our discussion of these stocks the fund was buying or selling.
Qualcomm: The fund increased its holdings of Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) to a total of 5.3 million shares. The communications equipment and services company has a market capitalization of over $110 billion, though its stock price has lagged the market over the last year. Last quarter revenue and earnings were up strongly from their levels in the fourth quarter of 2011, and while we don't expect growth to continue at quite that rate, it is good to see that the company is healthy. Qualcomm trades at 17 times trailing earnings; smaller peer Broadcom has been struggling recently, and while the forward P/Es are the same this is due to considerably higher expected earnings growth at Broadcom. Billionaire Ken Fisher's Fisher Asset Management has been another major shareholder of Qualcomm (find Fisher's favorite stocks).
Selling Microsoft: Renaissance cut its stake in Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) roughly in half between October and December, from about 16 million shares to just above 8 million at the beginning of 2013. As a result the technology company dropped out of its ten largest holdings by market value after having been the largest position in the portfolio three months earlier. Microsoft had been one of the most popular stocks among hedge funds in the third quarter of 2012, but concerns about Windows 8 remain high and the Surface tablet, despite a heavy marketing campaign, appears to be short of early expectations. Microsoft's stock is down 10% in the last year. The forward P/E is 9, but earnings in the fiscal year ending June 2014 are likely to still be on a bump from Windows and Office sales as new versions are released. We think that Renaissance simply became less confident in the company.
Philip Morris: Renaissance was buying shares of cigarette company Philip Morris (NYSE: PM) during the quarter and entered 2013 with 4.7 million shares in its portfolio. The company sells the Philip Morris brands in international markets while Altria Group focuses on the United States; the two separated in 2008. Philip Morris pays a dividend yield of almost 4% at current prices, which is lower than some other cigarette companies (including Altria). In theory this is because there are more growth opportunities in developing markets, and earnings growth has in fact been moderate recently. The stock trades at trailing and forward P/Es of 17 and 14, respectively.
Philip Morris and Qualcomm are both priced for at least some growth going forward; between the two, we'd be more interested in doing further research on Qualcomm. While cigarette companies are generally good income investments, we think that Philip Morris's peers may be better buys in that department. In the case of Microsoft we're still not ready to make a call based on value and think it's better to wait for results that reflect the release of Windows 8 and Office 2013.

A Baltimore jury found Policarpio Espinoza Perez guilty of murder conspiracy charges Tuesday in the grisly deaths of three young relatives in 2004, a conviction that could put him in prison for the rest of his life.
While jurors found that he played a role in the killings, they acquitted him of murder charges in two of them and could not decide in the third. With the panel deadlocked, a circuit judge declared a mistrial on a charge that Espinoza Perez, 31, slashed the throat of his 8-year-old niece.
Prosecutors convinced jurors of Espinoza Perez's involvement without establishing a firm motive for the killings. The state's attorney's office did not decide immediately whether to retry him on the third murder count.
Adan Espinoza Canela, also charged in the killings, goes on trial next week. It is the third time the two men have been tried in the killings that left Lucero Espinoza, 8, her brother Ricardo Espinoza, 9, and their cousin Alexis Espejo Quezada, 10, beaten and nearly decapitated.
At the first trial in 2005, jurors could not agree on a verdict, and the judge declared a mistrial. A second trial the next year ended in convictions and life sentences for both men, but the verdicts were overturned on appeal.
Espinoza Perez showed no emotion as he was shackled and led out of the courtroom, but attorney Nicholas Panteleakis said the conspiracy convictions are heartbreaking for his client. Espinoza Perez could receive three life terms at a sentencing set for April 29.
"He's crushed," Panteleakis said. "He's destroyed."
Ricardo Espinoza Perez and Noemi "Mimi" Quezada, the parents of two of the children, have said they think police arrested the wrong people. Outside the courthouse Tuesday, Ricardo Espinoza Perez had little to say.
"I don't understand," he said of the verdict. "I miss my life."
The case centers on a large immigrant family from Mexico. The web of relationships between victims, suspects and witnesses has complicated prosecutors' efforts for nearly a decade.
Espinoza Perez and Espinoza Canela, his nephew, previously were tried together; this time they are being tried separately.
Prosecutors argued this month that Espinoza Perez and Espinoza Canela were drawn into a murder plot by another relative, Guadalupe Juarez Hernandez. She was jealous, they said, of the 10-year-old victim's mother. The boy's mother had rebuffed advances from Espinoza Canela.
In a statement, Baltimore State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein thanked the jury and said his office was gratified by the outcome. Prosecutors declined to comment further because Espinoza Canela, 26, still faces trial.
A spokesman said the office will review the evidence in the case and consider Espinoza Perez's sentence before deciding whether to pursue the murder charge that ended in a mistrial.
Tuesday's decision came after lengthy deliberations in which jurors repeatedly told Judge M. Brooke Murdock that they were struggling to reach a verdict.
Brian J. Murphy, who will represent Espinoza Canela at his trial next week, said Tuesday's verdict will not affect his client's case.
"It's going to be a different jury, it's different evidence and a different defendant," Murphy said. "Some of the most damaging evidence in this case here is not admissible against my client."
He pointed to a recorded statement that Espinoza Perez made to police shortly after the killings. It was the one substantial piece of new evidence in Espinoza Perez's third trial. It was never presented in full at previous trials because it implicated his co-defendant.
In it, Espinoza Perez admitted going to the children's apartment but said Espinoza Canela went inside alone.
The decision to have separate trials was a gamble, Murphy said, because the statement placed Espinoza Perez at the crime scene, but Panteleakis said he thought the move was in his client's best interests.

Barely surviving poisoned champagne, she is whisked away to a beachfront estate in the Hamptons that is fortified like Fort Knox. Safety comes at a price however - even as she learns more about her enigmatic boss, his refusal to let her in on the investigation confuses the still-recovering Lucy. To complicate matters, family members seek to drive them apart, straining their tenuous relationship to the breaking point. All the while, a deadly threat lurks in the background... waiting to strike.

THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON to Feature Another Villain, One with Ties to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch
by Dave Trumbore Posted 274 days ago
While the main villain in Joss Whedon's The Avengers: Age of Ultron might be easy to figure out (Hint: It's in the title.), a new report has a secondary villain showing up to test the superhero team. We'll keep the identity of that villain until after the jump, but for a teaser, the character is rumored to be tied in with newcomers Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in some fashion.
The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, and James Spader. The Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1, 2015. Hit the jump for more, including all manner of possible spoilers.

Opera Repeated For 2 Nites Turn-away crowds at the final productions of the music department's opera, "The Desert Song," last week pursuaded its directors to repeat the show Tuesday and Wednesday, Marcid 9-10, this week. Nearly 800 complimentary tickets to the production were given to faculty members and senior students of neighboring high schools this week, it was reported. Capacity audiences attended both nights. To Acquaint With VV. C. The free tickets were presented to high schools to acquaint them with the cultural features of Weber college, said Dr. Robert A. Clarke, dean of the Weber faculty. "These tickets were a good investment in good will and publicity for the college," he said. Enough tickets were reserved, however, to insure a good sale to the public, he added. Berna Goodwin and Junior Stokes took the leads in the Tuesday performance, while Marilyn Belnap and Don Becker were cast in the principal iroles Wednesday. Audiences present at all six productions of "The Desert Song" responded enthusiastically to the performances. Directors Delma'r Dickson, Roland Parry, and E. Carl Green expressed satisfaction with the six-night run. Suffered Deficit The Weber board of control, however, reported that the production had suffered a deficit only partially redeemed by the additional two nights' staging. The board figured an original receipt of $2000, later trimmed to 1500. While expenses of the opera ran to $1200, only $600 in receipts was reported after the first four productions, said treasurer Bert Corkey. Figures on receipts for the additional two nights were unavailable when the Signpost went to press.

WEBER TO PLAY HOST Phi Rho Pi Speakers Gather Here in April Weber college will be host to the national Phi Rho Pi forensic contest April 15-17, Leland H. Mon-son, head of the college humanities division, announced this week. The contest will be held at Weber this year for the first time since 1940. The tournament will be open to western ;;tate college chapters of Phi Rho Pi, national junior college forensic society, said Mr. Monson. Mrs. Coralee G. P'poole, president of the organization, will be present to aid in the direction of the event, he said. To Region Meet Two Weber debate teams and NO PAPER NEXT WEEK Due to the curtailed school week March 15-19, the Signpost will not appear. The paper probably will not be published the first week of the spring quarter, but will resume publication the latter part of March. Foulger Treasurer While Handiey Gone Dr. James Foulger will take over W. H. Hundley's post as treasurer this month as Mr. Handley goes on a leave of absence, Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon announced this week. Dr. Foulger, the latest addition to the Weber faculty, will also take a position inthe teaching staff of the business department, said Dr. Dixon. He has had former teaching experience in Ogden high schools and at Weber college during 1945-46, and has recently served as sales supervisor for Wearever Aluminum Co., stated the Weber president. Dr. Foulger, a native Ogdenite, took his doctor's degree at Harvard university. "He possesses an excellent background of merchandising, retailing, and business experience," said Dr. Dixon. 'Sentiment High for Passage Says Veteran Weber Senator By Boyd Knowles "Sentiment runs high among the state legislators for passage of the Weber college deficit bill," stated State Senator J. Francis Fowles (D.-Weber) in an exclusive release to the Weber college Signpost this week. Results of the outcome of the bill this week were unavailable at the time the paper went to press. f Senator Fowles conducted an one orator and extempore speaker will journey to the regional Phi Rho Pi tournament in Winfield, Kansas, the week of March 22-26, it was revealed. The W. C. board of control recently voted a $550 addition to the debate budget for this trip and to cover expenses for the national meet, Mr. Monson stated. Publicity for the tournament commenced this week as the Pur-suader, official publication of Phi Rho Pi, announced the Weber cite to its national reading public. Pic tures of the Weber campus were featured, together with information about the contest, which will include competition in debate, oratory, extempore speaking, after-dinner speaking, and impromptu speaking. The college chapter of Phi Rho Pi has been organized since 1934. During this initial year Weber boasted the largest membership of any chapter in the nation, said Mr. Monson, who has served as first and second national vice president in previous years. "Any rating received by a contestant in a Phi Rho Pi competition applies to Pi Kappa Delta, national senior college forensic society," he stated. Mr. Monson revealed that judging of the tourney will be conducted similarly as the recent high school invitational speech meet, with Ogden townspeople and Weber speech students acting as judges. Some of the visiting speech coaches also will judge, he said. Braegger Appointed Business Manager Don Braegger, Weber college freshman, has been appointed business manager of Scribulus, quarterly magazine of contemporary writing published by the associated students of Weber college. Mr. Braegger was appointed by E. L. Christensen, business advisor to Scribulus, and confirmed unanimously by the board of control m their meeting last Monday, March 8. He is a veteran of world war two, and is majoring in business. unofficial survey among his fellow solons this week in response to a Signpost request. He reported that the legislature stood nearly unanimously for passage of the measure, which put Weber well into the black in regard to operating expenses. Discussed at Weber The deficit bill, proposing to appropriate funds to make up the loss the college suffered when the number of veterans expected to enroll this year failed to do so, was discussed during a meeting of six Weber county state senators and representatives with Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon, Weber president, Tuesday, March 2. The governor asked the session, which opened Monday, March 8, to reconsider general applications. Weber college was given permission to ask the special session of the legislature for a $108,000 appropriation.The state board of education Saturday, March 6, authorized Weber and three other state junior colleges to ask for a total of $149,-920 in additional appropriations after meetings in Ogden and Salt Lake City. Dr. E. Allen Bateman, state superintendent of public instruction, said the colleges need the addition al appropriations because oflow-er-than-anticipated veteran enrollments this year. Passes Resolution The board passed a resolution supporting submission of requests for $108,000 for Weber, $16,920 for Carbon college, $15,000 for Snow college, and $10,000 for Dixie college.The need arose because the legislature based its appropriations for the schools on estimates of income from student fees and tuition, and although total enrollment has not decreased, veteran enrollment has dropped. Veterans pay $201 for fees in contrast to $66 for non-veterans. May Hurt Activities Unless the funds are voted by the legislature, the junior colleges will be required to curtail their activities to an extent that their program would be "seriously" injured, Dr. Bateman stated. President Dixon has been in attendance at the legislature this week, keeping watch over the fortunes of the deficit bill while interest among faculty and student body ran high on the campus. MILLS LISTS ASSEMBLIES Assemblies for spring quarter have now been scheduled announced Marilyn Mills, chairman of the assembly committee.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

African penguin Traveling: Where?
While normally African penguins are relatively sedentary in their adult years, as juveniles they travel. In fact SANCCOB (Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds) has recently attached a satellite transmitter to a juvenile African penguin to track her travels. "Lucy" the penguin will be followed for up to the next 6 months of her life in order to learn more about these endangered species. The California Academy of Sciences supports this conservation program. Follow the link to learn more about "Lucy" http://penguins.adu.org.za/content.php?serial=11&mn=99
If you were around San Francisco today, you may have witnessed one of our penguins traveling. "Pierre" our oldest African penguin visited the eye doctor to get his right eye examined. Our veterinarian and I brought "Pierre" to two locations in San Francisco to consult an expert eye veterinarian. "Pierre" has been to her before, as she was the surgeon to correct his cataracts. This was a follow up visit to check out how he is doing and to examine his right eye which has recently become cloudy. Vision issues for penguins rarely occur, but can affect ability to navigate and ability to discern other penguin's behaviors. He was judged by both veterinarians that while his sight may be limited in his right eye he appears to see well enough without surgery needed. While being examined, he adjusted extremely quickly to his surroundings, proving his vision is good enough to travel. Check out the next photos to see if you recognize where he was.-Pamela Schaller
