Amerika – suggesting a Russified name for the United States – is an American television miniseries that was broadcast in 1987 on ABC. The miniseries inspired a novelization entitled Amerika: The Triumph of the American Spirit. Amerika starred Kris Kristofferson, Mariel Hemingway, Sam Neill, Robert Urich, and a 17-year-old Lara Flynn Boyle in her first major role. Amerika was about life in the United States after a bloodless takeover engineered by the Soviet Union. Not wanting to depict the actual takeover, ABC Entertainment president Brandon Stoddard set the miniseries ten years after the event, focusing on the demoralized American people a decade after the Soviet conquest. The intent, he later explained, was to explore the American spirit under such conditions, not to portray the conflict of the Soviet coup.
Described in promotional materials as "the most ambitious American miniseries ever created," Amerika aired for 14½ hours (including commercials) over seven nights (beginning February 15, 1987), and reportedly cost US$40 million to produce. The miniseries was filmed in the Golden Horseshoe and southwestern Ontario Canadian cities of Toronto, London,[1] and Hamilton,[2] as well as various locations in the U.S. state of Nebraska – most notably the small town of Tecumseh, which served as "Milford," the fictional setting for most of the series. Donald Wrye was the executive producer, director, and writer of Amerika, while composer Basil Poledouris scored the miniseries, ultimately recording (with the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra) eight hours of music – the equivalent of four feature films.
Amerika has an indirect connection to another notable ABC program, the 1983 television film The Day After, which some critics felt was too pacifist for portraying the doctrine of nuclear deterrence as pointless. Stoddard cited a column in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner by Nixon speechwriter (and later, television personality) Ben Stein that appeared a few weeks before The Day After aired. Stein wrote, in part:
...since my dear friends at ABC-TV have made a TV movie very rightly describing the terror of an atomic attack on America, perhaps they might consider something else. Perhaps they might make a TV movie about why the people of the United States face such a dreadful risk. They might make a movie about what life in the United States would be like if we lived under Soviet domination.
Here is the idea: Let's have a movie called "In Red America." It would be about a few days or weeks in the life of several American families after the Soviet Union had taken over America.
Stoddard acknowledged that Stein's remarks provided the inspiration for the series. Stein received a quitclaim deed from ABC for the idea for Amerika and otherwise was not involved in its production.[3] Originally envisioned as a four-hour made-for-TV movie entitled "Topeka, Kansas, U.S.S.R.", the project soon was expanded into a miniseries.
The storyline of Amerika primarily follows three political leaders:
Major female characters, in addition to Ballard, include Peter Bradford's wife, Amanda (played by Cindy Pickett), Devin Milford's ex-wife, Marion (played by Wendy Hughes), and most notably, Devin's sister Alethea (played by Christine Lahti), who at the outset is prostituting herself to the local occupation leader. "Alethea is the center," noted Donald Wrye. "She is a metaphor for America – not just phonically – and it is she who discovers her moral core through(out) the course of the series." Lara Flynn Boyle played Bradford's teenage daughter, Jackie.
The human drama of these characters intersects with the political intrigue of the Soviet plans for the breakup of America. Bradford, the pragmatist, clashes with Milford, the idealist; Bradford's wife is Milford's ex-girlfriend, who finds she still has feelings for Milford upon his release from the prison camp; Denisov appoints Milford's ex-wife, a powerful magistrate (and General Samanov's mistress), to serve as Bradford's deputy and assistant in Heartland; and Kimberly's renewed sense of American pride ultimately affects her relationship with Denisov.
Towards the end of the 1980s, as the decline of the Soviet Union puts itself in danger of losing the Cold War, the Soviet leadership makes a desperate gamble to rearrange the global balance of power. Four large thermonuclear weapons are detonated in the ionosphere over the United States. The resulting electromagnetic pulse (or EMP) destroyed the nation's communications and computer systems, crippled the American electrical grid, and affected any equipment that relies on computer technology, such as most late-model automobiles. With its ICBMs inoperative, and the National Command Authority unable to contact U.S. military forces abroad or their foreign allies in western Europe to launch a counterattack. America is forced to accept Soviet terms for surrender. The United States quickly falls under Soviet military occupation under the command of Russian General Petya Samanov. The U.S. President and U.S. Congress become mere figureheads for their Soviet overseers in the Kremlin as they began to hatch out their acts of oppression on the people of the United States.
The above events are implied in the miniseries, although never directly explained. The description is taken from the novelization of the miniseries, Amerika: The Triumph of the American Spirit by Brauna E. Pouns and Donald Wrye (Pocket Books, 1987), based on Wrye's screenplay. Communications between the administrative areas have been cut off, and the damage to the electrical grid caused by the EMP attack has never been fully repaired.
A decade after its defeat, the contiguous United States is occupied by a United Nations peacekeeping force, the United Nations Special Service Unit (UNSSU), composed primarily of Eastern Bloc forces. The UNSSU in Milford is under a command of an officer from East Germany, Major Helmut Gurtman (played by Reiner Schöne). UNSSU troops periodically engage in destructive combined arms training exercises which are deliberately intimidating to the local population.
Those Americans who engage in dissent are stripped of their privileges and sent to exile camps, where they are anathema to the Soviets and their fellow citizens. Association and communication with the exiles is prohibited and forbidden, although some risk their own remaining freedoms by offering humanitarian aid. Production quotas have been imposed, and foodstuffs rationed, with the surplus being shipped to the Soviet Union.
Against this background, Bradford ascends to the leadership as Governor General of Heartland. He acts a collaborator, hoping to reform the Soviet occupation from within with ideals of the old America. Milford is released from the prison camp, hoping to be reunited with his children and fight to end the occupation and restore America. Denisov hopes to "salvage as much as possible" of the old America, while realizing that the U.S. essentially must cease to exist as a nation in order to appease the Soviet leadership.
The Soviet leaders of the occupation are faced with the dual problem of keeping America pacified and convincing the Politburo that their fears of a revitalized America are unfounded because the country can no longer pose a threat. The Politburo is not convinced, and even considers exploding nuclear weapons over three unnamed American cities including Washington, D.C., as a warning to the American people and to the world. Samanov and Denisov, both of whom want Soviet control of the United States to be relatively humane, are horrified by this idea.
At great personal risk, Samanov finally convinces the Soviet leadership to accept a compromise plan preventing the detonation of nuclear weapons. Under the plan, the United States will be divided into "client states", such as Heartland. The compromise plan also includes that the members of the United States Congress will be executed if they refuse to dissolve the nation's government and disperse in peace. After Samanov asks at the end of his speech to the assembled Congress to disband the legislative body and dissolve the United States government, all the members refuse to dissolve the legislature and government. Samanov walks out of the House of Representatives chamber and Samanov's men begin firing indiscriminately into the crowd of legislators. All the members of the United States Congress are killed in the attack along with the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Vice President. The United States Capitol building and the artwork in its rotunda were destroyed in a terrorist-style attack. After the act is successfully carried out, Samanov surveys the damage and the dead bodies of the members of Congress. Samanov then sits in the United States House of Representatives chamber and commits suicide. What happened to the president is unknown.
In the final episode of the miniseries, Heartland is about to secede from the United States of America, with other regions to follow within the upcoming days, which in everyone's minds will prove disastrous. Instead, Heartland soldiers and local militia attack the local UNSSU compound. There is talk of a Second American Revolution that could undermine the Soviet Union's plans to break up the United States. The miniseries ends on a downbeat note, however, when Devin Milford is shot and killed as he is about to make a nationwide broadcast calling on Americans to resist the breakup of the United States by calling for an armed revolt. With Milford gone the hopes to restore the United States of America through the resistance is dead. Although there is hope that the spirit of America lives on in the hearts and minds of some people, in the end it appears that the Soviet plan to dissolve the United States will come to fruition.
Some sources have claimed that the finale of the miniseries was deliberately left unresolved to allow for the possibility of a weekly television series sequel; but such plans never materialized.
In this fictional timeline, the U.S. Congress divided the United States into multiple "administrative areas" in 1988, one year after the Soviet takeover. These areas are intended to become separate nations, joined together in a new North American Union. A map shown onscreen reveals these administrative areas to be:
In addition to these areas, Washington, D.C. comprises its own National Administrative District, South Florida is described by a character as the "Space Zone," and there is a passing reference to three "International Cities," one of which is San Francisco. Michigan is separated into two administrative regions, with the Lower Peninsula belonging to Ameritech, and the Upper Peninsula belonging to the North Central region. Alaska is mentioned as never having been pacified, requiring continued engagement by Soviet troops, and there are pockets of armed resistance in the Rocky Mountains and in West Virginia. There is no mention of what happened to Hawaii or to U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa.
The Rust Belt (presumably "Ameritech") faces its own special problems. Most of its advanced factory equipment was removed at the start of the occupation and taken to the Soviet Union. The region suffers 50% unemployment as a result, and its residents are not permitted to leave, except to volunteer for factory work in the Soviet Union, from which no one has yet returned.
Travel and communications between the various zones is heavily restricted, part of the "divide and conquer" plan of the Soviet occupation.
Both the novel and miniseries imply that the Soviet Union has conquered other countries after the U.S. coup (it can be surmised, for example, that the EMP which disabled American technology also would have crippled Canada and Mexico, a minor character says that he and his wife fled East Germany for the United States and remarked that "the promised land [had] become worse than what [they] left", and Denisov says at one point that "we control most of the world").
In this new world, Fidel Castro heads what is now called "Greater Cuba", embracing most of the Caribbean and Latin America, and the Chinese region of Manchuria has been absorbed into the Soviet Union. A politician named "Mbele" heads the "Socialist Republic of Southern Africa", "Barghout" is the leader of "Iraqistan", and Eastern Europe is in a state of unrest. However, it is occasionally hinted that life more or less carries on as normal in Western Europe.
The flag of the occupation is the pale blue U.N. flag, with crossed American and Soviet flags superimposed on the sides. The American flag is shown without its stars, and this flag is displayed during the "Lincoln Week" ceremonies. The standard American flag is outlawed, although one scene shows a group of war veterans marching with the old American flag upside down, this being a distress signal. America's national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," also is outlawed, but this does not stop a group of citizens from singing it (haltingly at first) after the "Lincoln Week" parade.
Abraham Lincoln is included with Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin in propaganda. One of the signature scenes in the film is a twenty-minute, dialogue-free depiction of the celebration of "Lincoln Week" (a holiday replacing the Fourth of July), with both Lincoln and Lenin displayed on red banners that were most likely intended to be striking and startling to television audiences of the time.
A new Pledge of Allegiance is given by "rehabilitated" political prisoners upon release from the American gulags. The oath states: "I pledge my allegiance to the flag of the community of American, Soviet, and United Nations of the World, and to the principle for which it stands – a nation, indivisible with others of the Earth, joined in peace, and justice for all." While the prisoners are told that they are free to refuse to make this pledge, the circumstances under which the oath is administered suggest otherwise.
Amerika criticized American society in the 1980s, implying that apathy and an unwillingness to defend freedom on the part of many citizens made the Soviet takeover rather easy. At one point, a key Soviet official observes that their plans for conquering the United States succeeded far beyond their wildest dreams, because once the nation had been defeated, Americans turned inward, not caring about national issues, seeking only to retain a piece of the prosperity that had once been theirs. "It (the Soviet coup) worked because you lost your country before we ever got here," says the Soviet leader. "You had political freedom, but you lost your passion ... How could we not win?"
This theme is echoed by Devin Millford later in the film:
" | Nobody wanted to risk anything for anybody else. Everybody was afraid they were going to lose what they had. They knew it was bad. They were just afraid it'd get worse. That's all they lived for – for things not to get worse. | " |
Further dialogue, by politician Peter Bradford, lashes out at apathetic American attitudes:
" | Damn, I'm so tired of this "I'm an American" bull! Where was all that patriotism when it counted? Where was that willingness to sacrifice? Nobody wanted to join the damn army to defend the country unless they got paid well! Nobody wanted to give any time to public service unless they could make a career out of it! And I didn't notice a lot of us giving up our lives in the last 10 years! | " |
Finally, a speech delivered by one child (Devin Milford's son) demonstrates the extent of Soviet indoctrination in the new America:
" | We are the voice of the new generation. We are the voice of the new people. The destructive ways of the past are gone. We will replace them with our vision of the future. The Party will lead us to the new age. There have been those who have tried to stop the new age. They are the corrupt reminder of the past. They have tried to confuse us with the idea that the old America was a good country. We know that lie. History teaches us that lie. We are grateful to our Soviet brothers who saved the world from destruction, and we can now join them in a world of socialist brotherhood. Everyone will go to school, everyone will have a job, everyone will be equal. No one will exploit or be exploited, and all those who oppose this wonderful vision will be crushed. | " |
However, the most poignant message of Amerika—a line of dialogue that summarizes its theme about the ultimate truth of the futility of the hypothetical Soviet domination it describes—is spoken by General Piotr Petrovich Semanov (Armin Mueller-Stahl):
" | When you lose and fail, that is understandable; but when you win and fail--that brings madness. | " |
The first two nights of Amerika garnered big ratings, but audience numbers dropped thereafter, and the overall miniseries averaged a 19 rating and a 29 share of American television households, compared to a 46 rating/62 share for The Day After. "It wasn't as big a hit as its supporters had hoped," said Ted Koppel, "but it wasn't a disaster, either." Amerika was the second-highest rated miniseries of the 1986–87 US television season.[5]
Although a 35 share reportedly had been promised to advertisers, Stoddard was happy with the performance of Amerika, claiming that all or part of the miniseries had been watched by 100 million people – a ratings bonanza for ABC, then in third place among the three major networks.
Amerika received mixed reviews upon its conclusion. The series continued to create controversy with some. Certain critics and viewers felt it was too long and unrealistic, others argued that it would be damaging to Soviet-American relations, and a spokesperson for the United Nations objected to the U.N. being portrayed as an occupying force under Soviet control. Some conservatives felt that Soviet brutality was greatly underplayed; conversely, a number of liberals dismissed the entire miniseries as right-wing paranoia. At various points, the program was scrapped, delayed, and rewritten.
For their part, the Soviet Union threatened to shut down the ABC News Moscow bureau, although this threat was not carried out and indeed seemed to strengthen ABC's resolve regarding the miniseries. "We're going to run that program come rain, blood, or horse manure," said ABC president John B. Sias, after the yet-to-be-aired Amerika had generated more controversy and viewer response than any other ABC program in history, including The Day After.
Amerika was preceded by an ABC special addressing the considerable controversy prior to its airing (The Storm Over Amerika), and was followed by an "ABC News Viewpoint" panel discussion moderated by Ted Koppel, with Brandon Stoddard, Donald Wrye, and others addressing the issues along with questions and comments from a live studio audience in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In its summary of the 1986–87 US television season, TV Guide called the miniseries "arguably the most boring miniseries in a decade," adding that "ABC's Amerika tried to hold America hostage for seven tedious nights (and a stupefyingly dull 14½ hours) by conjuring up a fuzzy vision of a Soviet occupation of the U.S."[6]
Amerika has been unseen on American television since its original telecast on ABC. A VHS box set of the miniseries was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment in 1995, but no official DVD release is available. Portions of the soundtrack by Basil Poledouris were released on CD by Prometheus Records in 2004 (in a limited edition of 3,000 copies). The novelization is widely available from used-book sellers and online auction sites.
In February 1987, the miniseries was parodied on the NBC show Saturday Night Live as "Amerida," in which the United States is sold to Canada by Ronald Reagan. It posited Wayne Gretzky as the Prime Minister of Amerida. The American protagonist (played by Canadian actor Phil Hartman) longs for a country "where you don't have money that's all the colours of the rainbow" and "you can spell words like colour and flavour without a 'u'." The flag of "Amerida" was the U.S. flag with the stars replaced by a white maple leaf.
The satirical Canadian radio program Double Exposure parodied the series in a sketch called Kanada with a K, in which "Joe Klark with a K" rescues the nation from "Comrade Ed".

By now, most of us have probably seen the three page preview of this weeks Superboy #1. It features a young, redhead in glasses concerned for Superboy's safety. There's been some discussion as to who this redhead is. After a leak from a DC staffer, Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool figured it out: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/09/12/the-mystery-redhead-in-superboy-1-revealed/
Want to know who the redhead in the Superboy Preview is? *Spoiler
I'm psyched. I've always loved her character and it's good to see more Wildstorm characters make the new universe. Lobdell also confirmed that he used Grant Morrison's Men From N.O.W.H.E.R.E. out of the Doom Patrol as inspiration for his N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Organization. These announcements have made me pretty excited for Superboy.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even asked Scott about Gen 13 characters showing up and he was coy!!!! god I hope this means there's a possibility of a Gen 13 book in the future!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did this sign discriminate against anyone?Submitted by Commonsensenotc... on Mon, 08/15/2011 - 4:53pm.
It made a statement based upon their religious beliefs, nothing more. The gay community should have simply ignored it, instead of whipping up this frenzy which has done nothing but give the gays a black eye. »

Date | Tue, 30 Aug 2005 23:00:34 GMT |
Wow this seem likely to start flame war. Since it is written in Java there is really not much of a difference. The only thing that comes to mind is that you have to reboot windows every time you need to make a change to the CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, or TOMCAT_HOME variables which can be a pain. I will also throw in that it is my personal option(NOTE: For any extremists on the list I said my option. Not an absolute fact. Just one guys experience) that you spend a lot less time maintaining Linux. This is mainly because Linux is so modular that you can uninstall everything but the parts you want. So the only things I have to keep up with and patch are the Kernel, MySQL, Apache, and Tomcat. No GUI, no extra services, etc. Chad Lester wrote: > Is Tomcat more stable on Linux or Windows 2003?

Life is full of choices; for example, you could choose to renounce all your worldly possessions at this very moment and devote the rest of your life to feeding the hungry, or you could sit on your derriere and listen to this dope new freestyle by Jersey emcee Voli. Just kidding; that's what we call a textbook example of a false dichotomy. In any case, be sure not to give away your laptop until after you've taken a listen to Redemption, which finds the freestyle series contributor using an inspirational quote by Will Smith as the springboard for some punchline-laced reflections on the path his life has taken. Backed by his own exuberant, funk-sampled boardwork, the emcee hits the ground running, lacing the beat with bars as witty as they are insightful: "Never thought I'd work a nine-to-five straight out the school, though / Life's like that, can't plan-it like Pluto." He concludes with a message we'd all do well to take to heart, spitting, "Time will fly every second I don't." Like what you're hearing? More hot beats and food for thought await on Voli's The Wall mixtape, scheduled to hit the 'net this spring.

text: Liverpool College Preparatory School Anti-Bullying Policy 2011 1 Liverpool College Preparatory School Anti Bullying Policy 2009-2010 Mission Statement Liverpool College values the dignity of each individual and promotes the development of character and learning through a commitment to high standards within a caring community. Core Values We recognise that all pupils have different talents and strive to ensure that every pupil has an equal opportunity to find and develop the talents they do possess We believe that the development of character, creativity intellect and spirituality, are the primary aims of education. We work together to create a happy and caring school community which is engaged in our local community and the wider world We pursue high standards in every area of school life Introduction It is a government requirement that all schools have an anti-bullying policy. In 2003, Ofsted published Bullying: Effective Action in Secondary Schools. This was followed by DfES guidance for schools under two headings: Don't Suffer in Silence and Bullying – A Charter for Action. In the Autumn of 2007 the DFE updated the anti-bullying guidance for schools in the document Safe to learn: Embedding anti bullying work in schools. This contains advice on setting up and implementing an anti-bullying policy and specific advice on homophobic bullying, bullying around race, religion and culture and cyberbullying. Safe to learn: Embedding anti-bullying work in schools "(2007). http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/behaviour/tacklingbullying/safetolearn/ This policy reflects this guidance. "Under the Every Child Matters Framework Liverpool College strives to ensure that all children attending the school are (i) healthy; (ii) stay safe; (iii) enjoy and achieve; (iv) make a positive contribution; and (v) achieve economic well-being. This Policy is focussed on ensuring that children "stay safe" in accordance with obligations under the Every Children Matters Framework and sets out the procedures which Liverpool College Nursery and Pre Prep and Prep need to be aware of in order to safeguard and promote the welfare and well-being of all children. Meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage Legal Requirements Safeguarding and promoting children"s welfare – The provider must take necessary steps to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. 2 For further details please refer to the "Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage" dfes 2007 This policy is a whole school policy and applies to EYFS, Pre Prep and the Prep School. It also applies to the After School Club and Young Explorers Holiday Club Aims and objectives Bullying is wrong and damages individual children. We therefore do all we can to prevent it, by developing a school ethos in which bullying is regarded as unacceptable. We aim, as a school, to produce a safe and secure environment where all can learn without anxiety, and measures are in place to reduce the likelihood of bullying. This policy aims to produce a consistent school response to any bullying incidents that may occur. We aim to make all those connected with the school aware of our opposition to bullying, and we make clear each person's responsibilities with regard to the eradication of bullying in our school. Definition DfES guidance defines bullying as actions that are meant to be hurtful, and which happen on a regular basis. Bullying can be direct (either physical or verbal) or indirect (e.g. being ignored or not spoken to). "Behaviour by an individual or group usually repeated over time, that intentionally hurts another individual or group either physically or emotionally." Cyberbullying is use of information and communications technology, particularly mobile phones and the internet deliberately to upset someone else. (For further details of Cyberbullying, refer to the Appendix). A person using strength or power to hurt or coerce others by intimidation (Oxford Reference Dictionary). This power may be physical, verbal, emotional or psychological and when an individual applies it repeatedly, it constitutes bullying. Bullying affects everyone, not just the bullies and victims. It also affects the other children who are aware of it, and less aggressive pupils can be drawn in by peer pressure. Bullying is not an inevitable part of school life or a necessary part of growing up, and it rarely sorts itself out. It is clear that certain jokes, insults, intimidating/threatening behaviour, written abuse and violence are to be found in our society. No one person or group, whether staff or pupil, should have to accept this type of behaviour. Only when issues of bullying are addressed, will a child best be able to benefit from the opportunities available at the School. Bullying can occur through various types of anti-social behaviour. It can be one unresolved, frightening experience or a series of such incidents. Bullying can include the following: 1. Physical: a child can be physically punched, kicked, hit, spat at, pinched etc. 2. Verbal: Verbal abuse can take the form of name calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, persistent teasing, and ridicule. It may be directed at gender, ethnic origin, physical/social disability, personality etc. 3. Emotional: A child can be bullied by being excluded from discussions/activities, tormented, humiliated, the setting of impossible tasks or deadlines. 4. Racist: There may be racially abusive taunts, comments, graffiti, gestures 5. Damage to property or theft: Pupils may have their property damaged or stolen. Physical threats may be used by the bully in order that the pupil hands over property 3 6. Religious 7. Cultural 8. Sexual and sexist, including homophobic 9. Special Educational Needs 10. Disability 11. Cyber-bullying (through social websites, mobile "phones, text messages, photographs and e mail) Bullying may be brought to the attention of staff by the victim(s), their friend(s), their parents or other interested people. Signs and Symptoms A child may display signs or behaviour that might indicate that he or she is being bullied. Adults should be aware of these possible signs and that they should investigate if a child: is frightened of walking to or from school doesn't want to go on the school / public bus begs to be driven to school changes their usual routine is unwilling to go to school (school phobic) begins to truant becomes withdrawn anxious, or lacking in confidence starts stammering attempts or threatens suicide or runs away cries themselves to sleep at night or has nightmares feels ill in the morning begins to do poorly in school work comes home with clothes torn or books damaged has possessions which are damaged or " go missing" asks for money or starts stealing money (to pay bully) has money continually "lost" has unexplained cuts or bruises comes home starving (lunch has been stolen) becomes aggressive, disruptive or unreasonable is bullying other children or siblings is frightened to say what's wrong gives improbable excuses for any of the above is afraid to use the internet or mobile phone is nervous & jumpy when a cyber message is received stops eating These signs and behaviours could indicate other problems, but bullying should be considered a possibility and should be investigated. It is recognised that bullying is serious and can cause psychological damage and even lead to suicide. (Bullying is not a criminal offence, but there are laws which apply to harassment and threatening behaviour) 4 What to do if you are being bullied: Remember that silence is the bully's greatest weapon! Report what has happened to a friend, a teacher, the Headmaster or Deputy Headmaster, a member of the support staff, your parents etc Tell yourself that you do not deserve to be bullied Be proud of who you are. It is good to be individual Try not to show that you are upset. It is hard but a bully thrives on someone"s fear. Stay with a group of friends/people. There is safety in numbers. Be assertive – shout "no", walk confidently away, tell a member of staff. Fighting back may make things worse. Talk to a teacher or parent/guardian first. Generally it is best to tell an adult you trust straight away. You will get immediate support. Teachers will take you seriously and will deal with bullies in a way which will end the bullying and will not make things worse for you. If you know that someone is being bullied: TAKE ACTION. Watching and doing nothing looks as if you are on the side of the bully. It makes the victim feel more unhappy and on their own. If you feel that you cannot get involved, tell and adult immediately. Teachers have ways of dealing with the bully without getting you into trouble. It is our aim, as a school, to: Organise the community in order to minimise opportunities for bullying Raise awareness of bullying within the school through assemblies. The School Council also take an active role in raising awareness of bullying. The school also uses educational elements such as projects, drama, literature, stories, historical events and current affairs etc Discuss aspects of bullying and the appropriate way to behave towards each other, eg through the PSHE programme incorporating SEAL and "R" time activities and schemes. Deal quickly, firmly and fairly with any complaints and involve parents if necessary. Maintain a firm but fair discipline structure. Rules should be few, simple and easy to understand. Ensure that teaching materials / equipment do not give a negative view of any group because of their ethnic origin, sex etc. Encourage pupils to treat everyone with respect. We will treat bullying as a serious offence and take every possible action to eradicate it. All allegations of bullying will be treated seriously When parents are informed records of allegations of bullying will be kept and records will be passed on from the Nursery to Pre Prep to Prep and to the Upper School 5 The role of governors The governing body supports the Headmaster in all attempts to eliminate bullying from our school. The governing body will not condone any bullying at all in our school, and any incidents of bullying that do occur will be taken very seriously, and dealt with appropriately. The governing body monitors incidents of bullying that do occur, and reviews the effectiveness of this policy regularly. The governors require the Headmaster to keep accurate records of all incidents of bullying, and to report to the governors on request about the effectiveness of school anti-bullying strategies. A parent who is dissatisfied with the way the school has dealt with a bullying incident can ask the chair of governors to look into the matter. The governing body responds within ten days to any request from a parent to investigate incidents of bullying. In all cases, the governing body notifies the Headmaster, and asks him/her to conduct an investigation into the case, and to report back to a representative of the governing body. The role of the Headmaster It is the responsibility of the Headmaster to implement the school anti-bullying strategy, and to ensure that all members of staff (both teaching and non-teaching) are aware of the school policy, and know how to identify and deal with incidents of bullying. The Headmaster reports to the governing body about the effectiveness of the anti-bullying policy on request. The Headmaster ensures that all children know that bullying is wrong, and that it is unacceptable behaviour in this school. The Headmaster draws the attention of children to this fact at suitable moments. For example, if an incident occurs, the Headmaster may decide to use an assembly as the forum in which to discuss with other children why this behaviour was wrong, and why a pupil is being punished. The Headmaster should ensure that all pupils are aware that they should: Report incidents of bullying to an adult if they are the victim Report incidents of bullying if they are a witness Treat others as they would wish to be treated Accept the consequences of their behaviour The Headmaster ensures that all staff, including lunchtime staff, receives sufficient training to be equipped to identify and deal with all incidents of bullying. The Headmaster sets the school climate of mutual support and praise for success, so making bullying less likely. When children feel they are important and belong to a friendly and welcoming school, bullying is far less likely to be part of their behaviour. The Headmaster will ensure that all incidents of bullying are recorded through the Behaviour Book/Incident Book systems in place The role of the teacher and support staff All the staff in our school takes all forms of bullying seriously, and seek to prevent it from taking place. If teachers witness an act of bullying, they will refer it to the Deputy Headmaster/Head of Pre Prep or the Headmaster. The Deputy Head is responsible for an Incident Book where incidents of bullying are logged whether they occur in class or out of class. This is regularly reviewed by the 6 Headmaster and the Deputy Head. Incidents that occur near the school, or on the children's way between school and home are also logged. These records will enable patterns to be identified. Teachers and support staff do all they can to support the child who is being bullied. All staff will monitor the situation and if a child continues to be bullied over a period of time, then the Headmaster will be informed and the child's parents will be informed. When any bullying has taken place between members of a class, the teacher will deal with the issue immediately by reporting it to the Headmaster or Deputy Head. This will be logged in the Incident Book. The teacher may also offer counselling and support for the victim. All members of staff routinely attend training, which equips them to identify bullying and to follow school policy and procedures with regard to behaviour management. Teachers use a range of methods to help prevent bullying and to establish a climate of trust and respect for all. They use drama, role-play, stories etc., within the formal curriculum, to help pupils understand the feelings of bullied children, and to practise the restraint required to avoid lapsing into bullying behaviour. PSHE, Moral and Religious Education, visits and visitors assemblies and circle time are all opportunities that should be used to praise, reward and celebrate the success of all children, and thus to help create a positive atmosphere. The school participates in National anti-Bullying Week and children are engaged in workshops, drama, games and stories appropriate to their age. The Role of the Parent Look for unusual behaviour in your child. For example, a child may suddenly not wish to come to school, feel ill regularly, or not complete work to his/her normal standard Always take an active role in your child"s education. Enquire how his / her day has gone, how lunch time was spent etc. If you feel that your child may have been the victim of bullying behaviour, inform the school IMMEDIATELY. We cannot help unless we know. Your complaint will be taken seriously and appropriate action will follow. It is important to advise your child not to fight back. It can make matters worse. Tell your own child that there is nothing wrong with him or her. It is not his or her fault that he / she is being bullied. Make sure that your child is fully aware of the policy concerning bullying and that he / she need not be afraid to ask for help. Parents have a responsibility to support the school's anti-bullying policy, actively encouraging their child to be a positive member of the school. The role of pupils Pupils are encouraged to tell anybody they trust if they are being bullied, and if the bullying continues, they must keep on letting people know. There is a child friendly comments and suggestions box outside the Head of Pre preps office and children can, at any time, voice opinions, worries or suggestions. A Worry Box is available for children in the Prep School. Pupils are invited to tell us their views about a range of school issues, including bullying, in the annual pupil questionnaire. Our School Council is encouraged to take an active role with the issue of bullying eg leading assemblies, organising pupil questionnaires etc 7 Action to be taken when bullying is suspected: (This policy should be read alongside the School's Behaviour Policy, alongside which, it was developed) When there is serious or continued bullying, both the parents of the alleged perpetrator and the victim are informed by the Head, the Head of Pre Prep or the Deputy Head. If bullying is suspected we will talk to the suspected victim, the suspected bully and any witnesses. If any degree of bullying is identified the following action will be taken: Help, support and counselling will be given, as appropriate, to both the victims and the bullies We support the victims in the following ways: By offering them an immediate opportunity to talk about the experience with their class teacher, or another member of staff if they choose. Informing the victims parents and by offering continued support when they feel they need it By taking one or more disciplinary steps described below to prevent more bullying We will support the bully by talking about what happened to discover why they became involved Informing the bully"s parents By continuing to work with the bully in order to change prejudiced attitudes as far as possible. The school may suggest counselling, accessed through the child"s GP or, in more extreme cases, e.g. where these initial discussions have proved ineffective, the headteacher may contact external support agencies, such as the social services. By taking one or more of the disciplinary steps outlined below. Disciplinary Steps Action must be appropriate to the age of the child but may include: 1) An official warning to stop offending 2) Informing the bully"s parents 3) Inform the parents of the victim 4) Missing playtime / detention 5) Suspension for a fixed period 6) Permanent exclusion from school if bullying continues to persist After School Club The After School Club and Breakfast Club adhere to all Liverpool College policies and procedures and the EYFS Welfare requirements. Parental Access to Policy This policy is available for parents to read on the College Website. Parents are also welcome to view the policy in school or we will send it to them, on request. Monitoring and review This policy is monitored on a day-to-day basis by the Headmaster, who reports to governors on request about the effectiveness of the policy. The anti-bullying policy is the governors' responsibility, and they review its effectiveness annually. They do this through discussion with the Headmaster. 8 This policy will be reviewed every two years or earlier if necessary. Key Sources of Information Safe to Learn DFE (2007) Bullying - Charter for action DFE (2007) Don"t Suffer in Silence DFE (2000) Kidscape www.kidscape.org.uk Bullying Online www.bullying.co.uk S Buglass January 2011 2009 Appendix Cyberbullying Mobile, Internet and wireless technologies have increased the pace of communication and brought benefits to users worldwide. But their popularity provides increasing opportunities for misuse through 'cyberbullying'. It's crucial that children and young people, who are particularly skilful at adapting to new technology, use their mobiles and the Internet safely and positively, and that they are aware of the consequences of misuse. School staff, parents and young people have to be constantly vigilant and work together to prevent this form of bullying and tackle it wherever it appears. The advent of cyberbullying adds new dimensions to the problem of bullying. Unlike other forms of bullying, cyberbullying can follow children and young people into their private spaces and outside school hours; there is no safe haven for the person being bullied. Cyberbullies can communicate their messages to a wide audience with remarkable speed, and can often remain unseen and unidentifiable. What is Cyberbullying? Mr Bill Belsey, the creator of the web site: http://www.cyberbullying.org/ defined this unpleasant phenomenon in the following terms: "Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group that is intended to harm others." Cyberbullying can involve Social Networking Sites, like Bebo and Myspace, emails and mobile phones, used for SMS messages and as cameras. Report to the Anti-Bullying Alliance by Goldsmiths College, University of London Research commissioned by the Anti-Bullying Alliance from Goldsmiths College, University of London, identifies seven categories of cyberbullying Text message bullying involves sending unwelcome texts that are threatening or cause discomfort. 9 Picture/video-clip bullying via mobile phone cameras is used to make the person being bullied feel threatened or embarrassed, with images usually sent to other people. 'Happy slapping' involves filming and sharing physical attacks. Phone call bullying via mobile phone uses silent calls or abusive messages. Sometimes the bullied person's phone is stolen and used to harass others, who then think the phone owner is responsible. As with all mobile phone bullying, the perpetrators often disguise their numbers, sometimes using someone else's phone to avoid being identified. Email bullying uses email to send bullying or threatening messages, often using a pseudonym for anonymity or using someone else's name to pin the blame on them. Chat room bullying involves sending menacing or upsetting responses to children or young people when they are in a web-based chat room. Bullying through instant messaging (IM) is an Internet-based form of bullying where children and young people are sent unpleasant messages as they conduct real-time conversations online. Bullying via websites includes the use of defamatory blogs (web logs), personal websites and online personal polling sites. There has also been a significant increase in social networking sites for young people, which can provide new opportunities for cyberbullying. What can we do about it? In addition to the preventative measures described above, the school: The IT Dept limits pupil use of the internet by blocking certain sites. May impose sanctions for the misuse, or attempted misuse of the internet. Issues all pupils with their own personal school email address. Access to sites such as "hotmail" is not allowed. Adheres to the BECTA guidelines regarding E-teaching and the internet. Offers guidance on the safe use of social networking sites and cyberbullying in PSHE lessons, which covers blocking and removing contacts from "buddy lists. Offers guidance to parents through booklets and suggested activities on the CEOPS website. Offers guidance on keeping names, addresses, passwords, mobile phone numbers and other personal details safe. Mobile phones are not permitted in the Prep School Pupil use of cameras on mobile phones is not allowed in school. Cyberbullying is already a significant issue for many young people. School staff, parents and young people need to work together to prevent this and to tackle it whenever it occurs. If you're a school governor or Headmaster Schools have a duty to ensure that: bullying via mobile phone or the Internet is included in their mandatory anti-bullying policies, that these policies are regularly updated, and that teachers have sufficient knowledge about cyberbullying in school the curriculum teaches pupils about the risks of new communications technologies, the consequences of their misuse, and how to use them safely all e-communications used on the school site are monitored. 10 clear policies are set about the use of mobile phones at school and at other times when young people are under the school's authority Internet blocking technologies are continually updated and harmful sites blocked they work with pupils and parents to make sure new communications technologies are used safely. security systems are in place to prevent images and information about pupils and staff being accessed improperly from outside school they work with police and other partners on managing cyberbullying. Accessible help A quarter of the young people who had been cyberbullied said that knowing how to get hold of and speak to an expert at dealing with cyberbullying would have made a difference. Knowing there was a staff member at school dedicated to stopping bullying was cited by 15% as a help. 13% said that knowing of a website with advice and tips would have helped them. NCH/Tesco Mobile survey, 2005 A key way of supporting children who are being bullied is to establish good links between schools and counselling organisations. Make sure parents are kept informed of the school standards and policies so that they can be applied at home as well as at school.

"Our 3 year old picked this one from a selection of cards on tinyprints and we are happy with it. Like that you can pick from 3 different hair colours. Nice quality card stock and pleased with our purchase."
"These cards have an excellent quality and have a beautiful design. They were perfect invitations for my occasion. I would definitely recommend this to everyone I know."
"I put my daughter's picture and all of the information in and it looked great on screen! Usually when it looks great on screen it doesn't turn out like that when it prints. I was so shocked at how nice the picture came out and the invitation as a whole. Will definitely order more from here!"
"I used this card for a Thank-you card for my husband's golf theme 60th birthday party. I used a picture of him showing up for the surprise party after completing a golf game. I put 60 on the flag and included his name on the side and wrote a thank-you note across the bottom instead of using it as an invite. The product is once again of high quality and so I was thrilled to send them out. Quite a few of our friends and relatives have commented on the great thank-you card they had received and a few have asked where I got them from, which again I share Tiny Prints information."
"These were so perfect for my 11 year old , I will definitely order again for her next Birthday Party next year .. Great Job :) ~FLORA~"

Debt laundering
The biggest problem with debt laundering is that the money never gets clean.
The dirty money just gets dirtier and dirtier until no one wants to hold it or even touch it.

So the questions are
Who will buy the treasuries when the Fed stops?
Who CAN buy that staggering amount of US Treasuries?
Who would want to take on interest free risk?
What happens to interest rates when demand for Treasuries drops
How will the U.S. Fund its deficit spending?

You say "when" the Fed stops buying.
What makes you think that "when" will ever happen? The Fed is our government's very own Buzz Lightyear: "QE to infinity -- and beyond!"

What amazes me
is that the government found enough suckers to buy 40% of the debt.

Now that you mention it
It probably explains why they are buying mortgages-- they are buying mortgages fron private banks and telling them to buy treasuries. That would make up the difference.
- Login to post comments
A private bank with the monopoly power to counterfeit money buys an equal number of mortgages from other private banks that are subservient to the the Fed.
Who owns most of the US now? The Federal Reserve.
You can't make this crap up. When I explain to my friends and neighbors that the Fed is buying up all these securities and mortgages they first look at me in disbelief, then they get a little miffed, shrug their shoulders, then want to talk about something else.
The Rulers are not the primary problem in the US, it is the Sheeple. So many Sheep make it impossible for the Shepherds to recognize that there are Mustangs who refuse to be kept.

So no taper then? I am
So no taper then? I am starting to believe they are tapering to keep the market under the assumption the economy is improving but diverting those resources still to other buying programs.From the FOMC page 1:
However, asset purchases are not on a preset course, and the Committee's decisions about their pace will remain contingent on the Committee's outlook for the labor market and inflation as well as its assessment of the likely efficacy and costs of such purchases.

Yep ...
... they are the magicians. "Watch this hand; pay no attention to that hand."
Also, keep in mind that the Federal Open Market Committee sets the POLICY, but the New York Fed conducts ALL FED MARKET OPERATIONS. And THAT part of the Fed is NEVER audited.
The President of the New York Fed has the REAL power in the system, not the Chairman of the Board of Governors, not the FOMC.
When the Federal Reserve is monetizing debt, there is only one reason why: nobody else will buy it (in sufficient quantities).
When the lender of last resort really is the lender of LAST resort, there could very well be trouble up ahead, unless they can come up with yet another way to push the can down the road a little more.

What is this you say?
They tapered. They were going to buy 61% but only bought 60% instead. So compared to the imaginary scenario that never happened they bought less. The technical justification for this approach is... HEY LOOK JUSTIN BIEBER JUST CRASHED HIS LAMBORGHINI!!!!!!

2003 Acura RL 3.5L
ProsLove the 6 cylinder, leather heated seats, and the look ConsMaintenance costs are really high, CD player is in the trunk, tires expensive
I Love This Car...there's A Slight Problem... — This is my all time best car ever. I bought it as a certified pre-owned in 2006 and it has been reliable until this year. All of a sudden there are about $2,000 worth of maintenance items that I am told need to be done because it has 108,000 miles. On top of that, the starter is acting up, or at least the mechanic I took it to thought it might be the starter. Ouch! The ride is smooth, the power is just right and it handles fine. I love the way the car looks and drives. I am retired now and the maintenance costs are really a lot for me to shell out. I have to keep it in good working order. |

30 year old man | Rochester, NY, USA | Seeking women 22-35 within 25 miles
Live Life and Be Happy
My name is Joe, and I am originally from a small town (100 miles east of Rochester), but have been living here for about 8 years now. I worked full time while earning my undergraduate degree from RIT, Some may consider me to be a workaholic, but when I set a goal it takes quite a bit to stop me from achieving it. I am in a leadership position within a small company and love what I do, I tend to put in more hours than I should, but I have fun with it. Posting my profile on a "dating" website is extremely out of the norm for me, but I am the type of person that is willing to try anything at-least once. When I am not working I love to try new activities and hang out with the people I care most about. Now that winter is among us I plan on doing my fair share of winter activities, I have been ice-skating a bit and plan on snowboarding as soon as we have enough snow. During the summer on any given day of the week you may catch me at the golf-course or out on the lake. Ok, now that the "about me" section is complete, My ultimate goal is to find someone that I can relax around, and have fun with. My ideal date should be self sufficient, educated, goal oriented, and above all else considerate of others. I am not looking for one-night stands, or sexual escapades, rather someone that I can relate & talk too.
Alumni connections , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Golf, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
If I feel like drinking, I tend to stay close to home (dive bars). On other nights I have been known to frequent places like Tapas or Murphy's law. I avoid the dance clubs that all the 18 - 22 year olds like to attend, but am ok in a club setting.
Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY
Currently I am into 70's and Soul music, but love to listen to anything depending on my mood. I love Johnny Depp and Will Ferrell, I was on a huge SVU binge for awhile, but I think I have seen all of the episodes at-least twice by now.
Anything that let's me take my mind off of work: Golfing, Arcade games, Dancing (horribly, but planning on lessons), Go karts, Target shooting, Watching live sporting events (Hockey, Basketball, Football), and Bingo!

Lieutenant D.H. Price - Assistant Division Commander

The Patrol Division provides the basic law enforcement protection for the people of New Hanover. As the uniformed deputy is usually the first representative a citizen of New Hanover County may encounter in times of crisis, this division is the flagship of the Sheriff's Office.
The commander of this division holds the rank of captain with an assistant holding the rank of lieutenant. There are other lieutenants which command the individual sections. Under these section commanders are sergeants and corporals.
The goal of this division is to prevent crime by deterring those who would violate the law through highly visible proactive patrolling of the county. To accomplish this objective deputies rapidly and prudently respond to calls for aid, conduct thorough preliminary investigations, and assist the citizens of this county with a myriad of legal, medical, social, and humanitarian problems.
All of the Deputies receive constant hours of in-service and school training in various areas to provide a wide range of technical expertise and knowledge to better serves our citizens.
This division is operational twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. The Patrol Division has four squads (A, B, C, and D). Each squad has a Sergeant who supervises the shift, and eight patrol deputies. The deputies are assigned to different sections of New Hanover County's 199 square mile area. Each squad works a twelve-hour rotating shift, with the deputies rotating to either day or night shift. The schedule allows each squad to be off-duty every other weekend. Deputies patrol their assigned sectors and respond to calls for service and constantly face dangerous situations. During the night, officers check buildings and keep a keen eye focused on suspicious vehicles and persons.
This division has many specialized sections and units all of which make up the team. Use the links on the left of this page to learn more about each unit.

Improved Error Correction Capability in Flash Memory Using Input / Output Pins
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Error Control Coding (ECC) is essential for correcting soft errors in flash memories. In this paper the authors propose use of product code based schemes to support higher error correction capability. They also introduce input/output pin by which programming cycle reduces which in-turn reduces the bit error rate. While these schemes have slightly larger latency and require additional parity bit storage, they provide an easy mechanism to increase the lifetime of the flash memory devices.
