Should students be punished by their schools for comments made on social medial from their homes.
In the news are students being expelled for comments made from home regarding their schools, administrators, or teachers. Should this be a matter for courts action ... no action ... or is the school discipline justified.
Remember the comments are not made on school equipment or while the student is under school control / school hours / school trips / etc ...
May 6 2012: It's playground gossip. Schools that react to it need to check themselves.
For some reason, people think the written word carries more weight or importance than the spoken word. By reacting to gossip, schools give weight to it.
I don't think social network sites are as substantial as people think. Granted, a lot of people use them but that doesn't imply that the content being shared is worthy of any attention.
May 6 2012: Indeed, people seem to give social media more credit then it deserves. It's just people talking, the same as what we used to do on the streets.May 6 2012: I think when words are written, they seem to be set into stone and "the universe will never feel the same". I think this notion of written words carry a bigger weight is legitimate, and nobody likes to have more than the target audience to see their "shame" or errors. That is why we should all learn get past that notion of shame correlating with error. We need to teach the next generation that it is okay to be imperfect and make mistakes because that is where the learning process comes from.
Gossip can be hurtful too, but that is why we should teach others to not gossip by changing the media, school systems, and parenting. We are all prime examples of the helpful and the hurtful. Striving for harmony and unity is key for a better more flourishing world.
Edmond Hui
May 6 2012: The reason people think that written words carry more weight than spoken words is because that difference is enshrined in law. It's not the words that are different, it's the verifiable nature of the medium of writing in contrast to the ephemeral nature of sound waves dissipating in air.

May 6 2012: Fancy words Mr. Hui, but I do agree. That was poetically written. =)
May 6 2012: Thank you for your kind words. The joys of TED conversation- good, thoughtful people.May 7 2012: Scott you are looking at this through the eyes of an adult. I can assure you that your average 15 yearold puts more faith in the information they read on facebook than they do in an encyclopedia.
May 7 2012: I'm sure they do but I mean that we all put more stock in written language than spoken.
In my opinion, the written word is on the way out (at least, as we have known it).
Once the hoo-ha over social networks settles down, we might see context becoming as important to the message as the content of the message itself.May 7 2012: I would like to submit a common, simple yet crude example. A student sitting on his bed doing homework instead of playing outside writes a note "Mr. Jones suck big green donkey peckers" then adds "City High School is the worst in the world". The student adds drawings to illustrate his point. He throws it in his backpack and heads over to his friends house. His friends finds it humorous and shows it to another friend. Eventually the paper gets caught in the wind and into a citizens hand who reports it to the school. The analogies to this instance and Facebook are simple. In my opinion the schools have no recourse nor responsibility to punish the students. The instructor's may unofficially express his disappointment to the student as one human being to another. Public schools are not charged with raising, disciplining or parenting our children.
May 7 2012: The only problem I see with the analogy is that in your example a private comunication became public by accident. You don't often post something on facebook accidentally. I think part of the problem lies in the fact that kids don't appreciate that a facebook post is in the public domain unless you specifically block access to it.May 11 2012: Good job that is a perfect analogy.
Norma Lopez
May 9 2012: Schools shontnt do that cause thats freedom of expression students should complain about the issueMay 8 2012: You are free to the limit not to damage the right of others. Cannot just wrongly accuse someone, seriously hurt them and then easily get away without any notice. I say it's unfair.

But being expelled from school? I hope there's better solution.
May 9 2012: The solution is the school keep it's nose to it's self and let the legal system deal with it. I believe there should be punishment for cyber bullying but the school is a school not a court of law anything said or done of school property and time is none of their business. The courts needs to set the punishments and regulations. Your school board has no right.May 8 2012: read --> Philippines: Students Prevented from Graduating Over Facebook Bikini Photos (http://globalvoicesonline.org/2012/04/03/philippines-students-prevented-from-graduating-over-facebook-bikini-photos/)
here in my country where more than 80% are Catholics and sectarian schools run by nuns, priests, etc are fairly common, it is difficult to draw the line. sure they can withhold the diploma, but at the end of the day the school in this case clearly showed its narrow-mindedness and oppressive nature. it has no jurisdiction with the private lives of students, and those students are better off enrolling in government schools instead.
May 9 2012: This is why the schools should never have any rights on children of school property and time. Cyber bullying should be handled in court or you will see things like you just pointed out.May 7 2012: I often find cultural differences surprising in TED discussions, and I beleive I can identify one here. In Australia I believe we value the right to a free, quality education above freedom of speech. I also feel we have much higher expectations of the impact of educators on our children. A large part of the function of a highschool is to teach the kids the difference between how children behave and how adults behave. To a large extent much of the discipline in a school, is the school performing functions that would be performed by the courts if you are an adult. It teaches the students about legal interactions in a situation where the worst possible outcome is you have to go to the school down the road. I now expect David to say he only wants the school to teach and we should let him "raise" his children. In an Ideal world all parents would be like that, but in my 13 years of teaching highschool science at a school that I won't name I find parents like that to be the minority. I would also offer that the child that is bullying or behaving inappropriately almost always lacks parental involvment in their life and to a large extent the school has to "parent".

I enjoyed reading all of your comments and debates and i think i have obtained a good idea of the subject.
I'd like to kind of mediate it, if i may, unbiased.
It seems simple to me that the school does have a right to defend itself against libel, this has already been proven in courts. HOWEVER, i believe the question of the debate revolves around student to student comments, not student to school. I have yet to hear of a student getting in trouble for commenting on the school but you always hear about Facebook arguments between students, so lets focus on that.
As one of you said, i forget who sorry, if the comment affects school it should be dealt with in school. Ill give two examples to display the difference:
1. A student ( Joe) says another student (Bob) is stupid, and uses colorful language to describe him negatively.
The next day, Bob punches Joe and they get into a fight. Who is to blame? Obviously Joe, so when the school administrators are sorting out what happened they would take into consideration that Joe in fact started the argument, though Bob made it physical. In this situation, Joe isn't being punished for what he said on Facebook, but for what he started at school.
2. Joe says Bob is stupid , along with colorful language. The fight continues on Facebook, but does not show in school, other then a cold shoulder and maybe some mean glares. The school will not punish either one.
Both examples i gave have and happen all the time in school, as i myself am in High School. Schools do not necessarily punish students for what goes on outside of school, only if it occurs in school.
The question also refers to comments made on administrators, and the school itself. I have yet to hear of this, but regardless, Libel and slander are not protected under the 1st amendment-clear and simple, regardless of situation. If it is true or is opinion, it is permitable. but if it is libel or slander, they can be punished.
Hope this helps
May 9 2012: "Obviously, Joe" is to blame..... wow! So it is ok to punch someone who says something negative about you in your world? That is not right or correct. Not to mention against the law. So no I would rather you not mediate. The discussion hinges around the idea whether a school is within it's rights to take action against a student who posted something obviously objectionable on Facebook. I say it is not within the school's rights to do this; schools should monitor the school not Facebook. I am going to say this again; we should be teaching our kids that words can only hurt them if they let them hurt them. Words only have power over us if we give them power over us.....did no one else here learn this lesson as a child?
Oliver Hart
May 7 2012: In my opinion, since most schools are publicly funded by taxpayers, similar to the government, children should be allowed to say what they want about whatever they wish because they are protected by their first amendment right. Voters can say what they would about the government on any social media site, so why would a particular department be excluded from the same criticism by those who benefit from it existence? I've recently been through the public school system and the children usually have an accurate opinion of many of the things wrong with the school. An option to appease this "problem" may be to offer end-of-year critiques for the school year. This way the administrators and staff will know what the students think of their school.
- +1
May 7 2012: The first ammendment doesn't protect you if you are commiting libel
David Messel
May 7 2012: If the students are committing libel then the school has the recourse to sue like anyone else. They should not be using their authority over students to supersede the laws already in place; that is oppression.
- +2
May 8 2012: You seriously prefer a lawsuit over a 2-day suspension to a child? The court will be very very busy then.May 7 2012: I agree, I don't think the school should take the law into their own hands. There is law enforcement in place as well as a legal system. If schools feel the need to sue, they have the option, however, there are far bigger problems in schools and they should be more focused on those rather than trying to punish students for what they say.
May 7 2012: Its not punishing them for what they say it is trying to stop the inevitable disruption for the rest of the students. The students have a right to an education. Teachers must do what is fair for the majority.May 7 2012: I understand that, however, students shouldn't be limited or punished for something they post on Facebook. Disruptions in the classroom stem far beyond social media sites and justifying a students expulsion because it's fair for the majority is subjective. Political news, pop culture, and sports are all influential and possible "distractions" and furthermore could be considered "disruptive" if students allow it to manifest as such, but as a school and a teacher you should find ways to work around it. With all do respect, just because it makes your job easier to expel a student, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do or what's best for the majority. That student is not benefiting from being expeled and losing their right to an education.
May 7 2012: So its ok with you for your child to fail a subject because of the disruptive behavior of other students in his class?May 8 2012: It's highly unlikely that my child would fail a subject solely because other students are disruptive, there is a lot more that goes into being unsuccessful in the classroom especially within our education system.
May 8 2012: I am currently sitting in a room with 20 highschool teachers who all disagree with you.May 8 2012: Well, I can only speak from my experience and what I observed from students in my graduating class. They would all share the same sentiment that distractions are everywhere, however, it is up to you to determine whether or not that will affect your success in the classroom. To fail, one would have to completely disengage in all activity and stop attending class. In my school there were plenty of "disruptive" students, but that never stopped me or my other peers from getting our work done. As a student you take responsibility for your own education and if you want to be successful another student's action will not keep you from that success.May 6 2012: It is just an opinion of another person that makes comments online and for others to be able to see you "public" profile, then it just doesn't seem fair to take action on such a condition. I guess if you examine it from another point of view, you can say that the school staff being targeted may lose their reputation, but I am sure students already talk about the issue in person already. They should either not take notice or care to even look at that stuff because if you are part of the faculty and you're doing your job correctly, at your best, then no need to feel self-conscious about what others opinions may be. So, my answer is No, no one should get punished for comments on the social network. There is also the premises of "freedom of speech". Ridiculous how schools think they could mandate someone outside of school grounds to act a certain way....
May 7 2012: Freedom of speach doesn't apply if you are breaking the law by publishing your statement! (look up libel)
May 7 2012: Wow, that sucks, then there may be a need for a new social movement to make some amendments.
John Locke
May 5 2012: I am actually in school and I believe this issue is one that is highly debated but also, in my opinion, very clear cut. The fact is, these people who have been getting in trouble by using social media are abusing it by insulting others, and thus distracting them from their primary goal, education.
- +1
If people are using social media to hurt others or bully them in any way, then I believe there should be severe consequences, especially if those social media comments affect behavior of students durring school (Which they normally do).May 11 2012: Chris you didn't did far enough I also write historical pieces for a Russian site so you can say or do all you want. Listen most of us are into TED because we want to make a difference in the world. What little time I have left I spend it cleaning up the parks and the waterways where I live.
I have chosen to raise my children because I see articles about police and their dogs being used to keep a school walkout from happening. That is overkill if I ever heard of it.
You see I am becoming a Ukrainian Citizen because it is very peaceful here and I love the people. My mom is a mixture of Polish,Russian,British,and German so that might be why I like it here. Or is it the fact they don't have TSA at check points allowed to do what they want.
I am very worried about children and adults alike at this point and time. Our world is at a very strange state indeed and we need to be careful in who has power over our lives.May 11 2012: Simple answer; no.
This issue is complex at best. Social media is invaluable, for businesses and for people. There is a fine line, in this new digital world, between protecting a institution from, say, a threat of violence and being 'big brother'. The line isn't drawn in the sand clearly enough, and this issue will only get more convoluted over time.
In my opinion, institutions that use social media to issue out punishments based on what has been said on various social media outlets are doing harm to themselves and the people they're stalking. And it is stalking. It's the same as a person looking through a persons' Facebook page and gather information for their own ends.
If I posted that I hated my government, then I should not be persecuted for it by my school. However, if I threatened to blow something up, I should be stopped.
Therein lies the conflict. A person has the right to privacy, but the state works to protect the public.May 11 2012: "We need to show some self respect and learn how to show respec to others and respect for the institutions we represent. Then we need to instill this respect in our children"
They're not going to get that respect by institutions overreaching legitimate bounds to their authority, which schools are doing by monitoring social media for students being disrespectful on Facebook or Twitter. As a parent, I would never consider my children's social discourse outside of school to be the school's concern, regardless of how disrespectful (vs threatening) they are being to teachers or administrators. My point isn't that schools shouldn't be required to monitor student behavior outside of school; it's that they should not be *allowed* to. Similarly, for employers: with very rare exceptions, employers should not be allowed to monitor employee behavior outside of the workplace.
People aren't being sanctioned for not having a modicum of respect for themselves or others; they're being sanctioned for not expressing sufficient respect for specific authority figures.May 10 2012: Back to the question of Robert Winner (top of the page): Should students be punished by their schools for comments made on social medial from their homes.
The assumption is that the comments are both untrue and damaging, otherwise there's no point arguing this! Let's make a simple example: a student calls a teacher is a whore!
The school can: (1) let it go without notice, (2) sue that student to the court, (3) do something else, e.g. call that student up and make sure he/she understands why it's the wrong thing to do.
Both (1) and (2) are hardly an educated act; they are both in extreme side. I say we got to do something else.
May 14 2012: Mr Chung, You and I are of a shared different time. I agree that the school has options. Years ago the teacher, a local resident as was the principal and superintendent who knew the parents and maybe even taught them. There was parental involvement, respect, and interaction on personal and professional levels. The teachers and students were real people who went to the same churches, shopped the same stores, went to the same movies, etc .... Today we have a teacher who drives 40 miles a day to work, a student who is #32 on the roster, a principal and superintendent who are scared to death of the next law suit by parents who are sue happy. Teachers (here) sign a contract for 863 hours a year not a minute more. They make (here) $40,000 plus. Thats about $46.35 per hour and gripe about it. The rest of us work 2060 hours a year for the same $40,000 (that is about $19.42 per hour). I have checked the facts and the amounts are accurate.
Bottom line is that the respect we once had no longer exists from either the teacher or the student. (general statement). Each has good and bad. We have teachers having sex with students and students who punch teachers out or bring guns to school plus we have police stationed at the schools.
The current structure of education may not allow us to ever return. Many have elected to enroll in private or charter schools where disclipine is more prevelant. Thanks for responding.
By the way what if the comments were true? All the best. Bob.
May 14 2012: I've said it before and I'll say it again, if teachers have it so good why don't you become one?
May 14 2012: Mr Lindsay, Sir if you are so unhappy change professions. I have taught and am currently coaching three sports as a retired person. BobMay 14 2012: I've considered quiting many times but the thing that sucks me back in, is teaching gives you a sense that you are actually doing something worthwhile. Some of the time anyway.
May 15 2012: I understand. I relate teaching to golf. My game sucks for 17 holes and then I hit unbelievable shots that give me hope of being a good golfer just as I was about to throw the clubs in the water. In my sports I see so much natural talent and work hard to see it developed and the kid does what he wants and never develops ..... then come along the average kid who listens and develops and you feel vindicated and jump in again. We see kids who are naturals in the classroom and never work at getting A's and B's. Then from the middle of the pack come a academic superstar who works hard and thursts for knowledge and recharges our batteries. To be open and honest my problem was not kids or parents so much as it was the staff and administration that cause my frusteration. Does any of this hit a note with you? Bob.May 10 2012: I'm starting in teaching, and I find the increasing tendency of schools to consider school rules to apply everywhere to be troublesome (employers are doing this, too). I believe it is immoral for schools (and employers) to consider that their authority extends beyond the school (work) day and official functions.
It's only because the students can complain on Facebook and other social media that are accessible to teachers and administrators that this is an issue: they can't monitor students' phone calls or mail or in-person socialization in the mall, so they can't punish kids for this.
In other words, administrators should back off. This 24/7 power they seem to desire is probably one of the reasons schools are failing.
May 19 2012: Ed, you are probally right that administrators to overly involved. But in their defense, the world is sue crazy. There is some lawyer out there will to take your money for anything and every thing. The administrator gets involved in an effort to control the situation. S/he is in a no win situation. To have knowledge requires action. The superintendent has to fend off angry parents, the media, and the school board. The principal does not have any protection and is the target of lawsuits, etc .... There are many reason for schools failing and perhaps this is one of them. However, you chose to become a teacher and the question become are you going to be part of the problem or part of the solution. Work for change within the rules and boundries. I know that it will be a long jurney ... but it begins with the first step. All thye best. Bob
May 19 2012: I am not -- nor do I intend to become -- and administrator. In the public schools where I've substitute taught, they are quite busy enough with behaviors within the school (expanded to include school events, school buses, and the bus stops when the bus is still nearby) to browse Facebook or Twitter for disparaging comments. I would be somewhat surprised if any of them would be scanning Facebook or Twitter merely for disparaging comments, even if a student told them they were being posted. In other words, a student's posting of something "X is a slut" or "the vice principal is a ****" would be considered nothing more than random noise. Posted threats may be vetted, but would probably be handed over to law enforcement.
More troubling is the case of Phoebe Prince, who was bullied to suicide, but there the school administration did not effectively act even after they were informed the bullying was occurring on campus. I suspect that part of the reason was that some of the students were popular athletes or their hangers-on, students who, not infrequently, are not disciplined for various infractions because they're "important" to the school. That, I have seen, and have been on the wrong side of.
Edited to add: apparently that was part of the reason. See http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/01/24/the_untouchable_mean_girls/May 10 2012: Students these days find it easy to lash out at their teachers or other fellow peers through social networking sites .They vent out their frustration .This is not a healthy activity and should be nipped in the bud .Having said that ,i dont think expulsion or even suspension is necessary .The school should also understand that ,students are bound to give ,share feedback about them .Obviously they wouldn't do it in front of them, would they ?May 10 2012: One more reason they should not have the power I know personally from one of the schools I had one bully push me from behind and another slam open a locker in my face knocking out a tooth and the principle and board did nothing because the two boy's parents were part of the school board.
And cyber bullying is not the only thing we are talking about we are talking about photos and them talking about their lives on the internet. If a student has a grudge on another and has friends withing in the school system or more likely mom or dad does they could target a child and punish them for something that was not really a problem.
Maybe someone could get suspended during prom time to make it so the could not be a contestant or other such activities. maybe someone could be close to being valedictorian and the Principals favorite child is in danger of loosing it.
Because of me living in different places and seeing how some places operate I fully understand why the school needs to have nothing with out side time. It is easy for people whom have not spent anytime in other places to just read the news articles hashed out and draw from that point being clueless of the real world.
By the way FYI until about 9 years ago most of the media companies were owned by over 50 companies. Now only 6 companies own most or them and they all are heavily invested into energy and political candidates.May 9 2012: Offensive or disrespectful comments about named individuals (other children or staff) should be treated as a form of bullying / harassment and parents should be advised of the situation. However, I do not feel expulsion should be used to tackle this as children are mostly powerless in an adult world and they do tend to lash out verbally (or written) to vent their frustrations. Facebook, and the like, are just the modern means to doing this.
Young people are mostly blissfully unaware of the devastating impact of their comments - they do not have well developed feelings of empathy. They are, by definition, immature. Perhaps a referral to a school counsellor would help them to understand the reason why they feel angry and to develop ways of dealing with life's frustrations.May 9 2012: Of course they should, the school role is not only to teach but to educate. Of course the punishment should be chosen with the kid parent and can't be something like suspending.
The family and the school should take care more about what kids do and not only in the social media website.May 9 2012: in my opinion,students can be punished by school in some way,but they shouldn't at least be suspended.I mean,come on,they are only kids.Nobody should take their fundamental right of getting education away! This will leave a scar on their careers!
Jim C
May 9 2012: Social media is blurring the distinction between public and private lives. People fail to realize that a post to facebook, twitter, etc. is public speech, unless steps are taken to make it private.
- 0
Before we punish students (or teachers, or employees) for public speech, we must teach them the difference, and how to make their speech private.
In my humble opinion, people do not learn the responsibilities that enable a free society to remain free. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right, but it comes with the responsibility to understand the ramifications of what, when, and to whom we speak. I am a recent college graduate, and I do not recall any mention of how an ill timed public statement caused harm (and even wars), or how a carefully phrased comment 'turneth away anger'.
People must learn the importance of privacy. Generations of people have had the attitude that 'if I have nothing to hide, I'm not afraid of wiretaps'. This complacency has allowed a steady erosion of privacy that includes that most excellent use of Newspeak, the patriot act.
Schools, employers, the government, and all of us need to understand that we are living in a time of unprecedented change. It is unreasonable to punish anyone for rules that haven't been made yet.May 9 2012: Freedom of speech is the underlining part of this I believe and no school has the right to decide what a child can or can not do off of school property. The problem his is the God complex is at full swing all over the world. We as people feel so unempowered that we are trying desperately to control people all over. A person on a school board gets a little piece of power and wants to be dictators over the children's lives. Of course if you see something that worries you like a child seems like he might put himself or others at danger sit down and speak to the child. I recall having great teachers in my day that helped shape me. It seems like the whole world is bent on power grabbing and the school has no right to punish kids for off school property and time. You see if it is illegal it is the polices jobs to handle it not the school.May 9 2012: Lets say an employee was doing the same to the employer - what recourse would the employer have? Students need to be held accountable for online comments. School districts should formalize their tech departments to include codes of conduct, rules, etc. It's really a matter of applying common sense, etiquette and decency to the online/virtual world that is now a part of our lives.

May 9 2012: That is not the schools job or right it should be handled in court with nothing to do with the school. I agree we need to protect our children from bullies but the school has absolutely no right. That is for a Judge to decide not a school board.
Comment deleted
May 9 2012: No no and sir you are responsible for your child's safety outside of school. If you cannot handle the situation you file a report with the police and then take it to court. Actually an employer firing you over a public piece is not really legal they usually say you are fired for doing something else. I was a web surfer for a Bain Capital company and they usually used the time clock as the excuse after something is found. I know personally I had to report anyone talking bad about the company or another employee. Listen your child's grades in school are your problem too. The teacher teaches it and then you have to make your child study it. The schools have no rights outside of their property. The principle is not a Judge. He/she may like to power trip and pretend from time to time but they are not qualified to do the job. Trust me a police officer or a meeting in front of a judge will make more of an impression on the youth than the school board. If we allow the schools to have this power kids can get punished for speaking out about things in their lives that the school has a different idea on. I have been a part of several walk out. Schools have no business policing social media.May 9 2012: point made by: Schubert Malbas 50+

May 10 2012: Listen I am one that believes that our Country is loosing what the founding fathers built. The cyber bullying law is one that has a lot in it that it should not. The problem is parents are lazy too busy watching YOUTUBE or Face Book to be real parents.
That is why in the last four years more laws have been passed than in almost anytime before by a man that his past from his own mouth has changed a few times. He never has a straight story. The new laws are to leash people. Like in Florida the 5 year old put into hand cuffs for talking in class. Do you not believe that is too far?
One of the things I have learned from teaching abroad is that families seem to be in better shape and you know what is the difference is the people are behind on the cool social media stuff and actually spend time with the children. Bullies are usually bullies because of their home life. The reason the judge should be involved is what if the bully is that way because of mom or Dad maybe he/she needs help.
Just because something is law does not make it correct or Just. We are talking about the moral high ground. From my experience the school should never have this power because the board could make decisions off of personal relationships. I have been to 5 high schools and seen two that were nightmares due to certain kids families being in tight with the board.
A child's life outside school has nothing to do with the school. They should have no power if a school official thinks there is a problem not being taken care of they should notify some legal group be it police of Children and Youth.May 10 2012: From going to five different schools I know how parents click with teachers at some schools while at others not so much. At such schools certain groups a protected by any means. If someone is in danger of not becoming the prom queen the principle could use these powers to handicap the competition by suspending them from school or the competition.
We are not just talking about cyber bullying which is the way you are trying to swing this debate. We are talking being able to pass judgment on our children's social media activities such as photos or blogs. What if Johnny come on TED and talks about how they should be able to bring lunches from home and he feels like the school system is just trying to be a small mafia by forcing the kids into buying their lunches? Should the school be allowed to punish him?
You do see the bigger picture or are you just to hooked into being correct?
From person experience I went to one school one student pushed me from behind and the other slammed a locker open in my face and it knocked out my tooth. Nothing happened to them because their parents were to connected with the principle and the school. At the school any fight you were suppose to be suspended from school for 2 days and get four Saturday detentions they got nothing. I had to take several different days out to get my teeth fixed.
That is why the schools should not have nothing to do with the internet. Is is actually illegal in America for the teachers to have contact with students through the Web. I am actually abroad teaching and my students can legally contact me on any social forum for help with home work. I also do my best to keep in touch with there parents.
If parents spent more time being parents like they used to there would not be so many problems in the system. I notice in other countries parents are more like the older generation in America and spent time with there kids instead of blaming everyone else.

May 10 2012: Actually I am using my android so my errors are due to the auto correct. Point blank parents need to step to the plate and be parents. Sadly suicides are on the rise you should check into the prescriptions these children are on. A lot of the side effects is suicidal thoughts. The school system is to educate and nothing else.
You are the secretive person. What is wrong you are afraid of people knowing whom you are? By the way I use British Grammar this is a difference and do to travel and using a cell I do not have the time to double check what has been changed. You do realize that British have different spelling right? See you run and check peoples pages to try and through rocks but you hide yourself. As far as noneffective my students have never gotten less than 7 on the IELTS. That is why I have the level of students I do. Big Brother has had that habit through out history until the people knock it down.
Chris to be honest with you I think three words were missed spelled. And I am not going to through rocks with a person who evidently has something to hide from people by the lack of info on your page. However I would encourage anyone on medication to Google it and see what you are dealing with since her/she I don't know brought it up.
We need to start taking responsibility for ourselves again and take care of the children.

May 11 2012: Chris you are just a useful tool. I teach British English because that is what people want and by my last name you would see my family came out of Scotland and Chris your petty points have no wait simply because anyone who is on the run like me and do not have the time to sit done makes mistakes because I am going actually walking and typing. What ever you are hiding is your problem.
I feel the schools having the ability to punish students is a complete nightmare because of favoritism that could be held for others. Like I said earlier I have seen it first hand at one on the schools I went to. The same school there was another instance when a new student transferred and the gym teach during wrestling set him up against another student at least twenty pounds heavier for the two weeks we had wrestling in gym. I one group being bullied by another and the principle punishing the victims.
If I taught children and one was in trouble I would do what ever I could to help. Even the at the park if I see kids getting too ruff with each other I go over and speak to them. You see I am trying to keep unfairness out of the school because I see how it could get twisted.
These power grabs are just ways for people to feel like they have power. Some people even trolls that go creeping into other peoples pages and track them around the web and hide their own identity need to rip people down. School officials are no different and they build bias relationships with families they grew up with or have gotten to know through time.
A judge should be used for extreme cases of bullying but would it get that far if the parents kept an eye on their child. This would not happen at all.
It is a fact that a lot of the medications that is handed out to people makes people feel suicidal. I do take responsibility for myself and my soon to be child that is why I don't hide from people. Ideas like yours is why TSA is groping children at the airports in the States.May 8 2012: One thing to remember, is that children, meaning everyone who is not an adult, should have the exact same rights as adults. If an employer has no right to fire an employee based on their private life, then a school should have no right to deny a student an education. In fact if a student can be shown to be a threat, they still deserve, maybe even more so, every educational opportunity they are able to accept.
Non-threatening freedom of speech is protected, especially concerning our government and its agencies. Therefore, a student should in fact have more protection under the law than an employee of a private sector business.
Currently, students are treated like second class citizens. They are learning that the system is unfair. arbitrary, and corrupt. They are being taught to fear authority. Whether this is a good lesson for our screwed up adult world or not is debatable.
May 9 2012: Children don't have the same rights under the law. A fifteen year old cannot get married, sign a contract, drink beer, vote, drive a car on the road, join the army etc. The reason they don't have the same rights is that they also don't have the same responsibilities. If you break the law you are tried as a juvenile and are subject to much lesser penalties.
May 9 2012: The things you list as rights are not rights, these are privileges we gain upon reaching the age of majority. Not every adult enjoys these privileges. We have no right, explicit or inherent, to do any of the things you list, other than voting, which is denied to felons in some states. Consider marriage, does everyone have a right to marry? No. Depending on where you live, couples can only get married if they are a heterosexual, genetically male and female couple.
in the context of this conversation students deserve the same inherent right to privacy, the explicit right to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures, and explicit right of freedom of speech as any other citizen.
The most glaring example of the way we teach children about fairness and their rights is how we allow them to be beaten by their parents or guardians. Why don't we find it abhorrent that in most states a parent, guardian, or employee of a school system can hit a child, but the same person could be arrested for hitting another human adult or even a dog.
BTW, juveniles are often tried and sentenced as adults, something with which I strongly disagree, but then I disagree with our entire legal system.
May 9 2012: In my mind I see a group of twelve year olds assembled in the town square, all holding AK47s and murmuring something about how their teachers really suck and the police ignoring them because they're just exercising their rights.
BTW protection from search and seizure only applies if it is the state searching. Your mom can still go through your stuff

May 10 2012: Just pointing out that there are several parts of the bill of rights that don't apply to minors
Ethan Bull
May 10 2012: You know precisely what I mean in the context of this discussion. I am pointing out that children deserve the same basic rights as any other human. No, you're acting like a troll.

Drama, Romance
1961's premiere date movie represented the screen debut of Warren Beatty. Set in the 1920s, William Inge's screenplay concerns the superheated romance between working-class high schooler Natalie Wood and rich kid Beatty. Trying their best to keep their relationship from going all the way, Beatty and Wood go through a series of unsatisfying interim romances. The troubled Wood attempts suicide and is sent to a mental institution, while Beatty impregnates freewheeling waitress Zohra Lampert. Wood and Beatty still carry a torch for one another, but circumstances preclude their getting together -- and besides, Wood suddenly realizes that she's outgrown the still-floundering Beatty. Scriptwriter William Inge shows up as a minister in Splendor in the Grass, while comedienne Phyllis Diller does a cameo as famed nightclub entertainer Texas Guinan; also, keep an eye out for Sandy Dennis, making her first movie appearance.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Drama, Horror
On a deserted back road in Alabama, Jack and Stephanie find themselves driving fast and running late. Their world suddenly changes when a strange accident leaves them stranded with no car, no cell phone coverage, and no help in sight. They have no choice except to continue on foot. As darkness approaches, they round a bend and see a small sign at the top of a long gravel driveway: The Wayside Inn. The exhausted couple stands in front of an inviting house, complete with gated stone wall, ancient oak trees, and a note welcoming weary travelers. Inside they find another couple with an equally troubling story about a similar accident. It seems that backwoods pranksters have made their day miserable. Still, they are safe. Or, so they think.

JENKINS: Bill Horn fires up for last campaign
The headline out of a gathering of the San Diego North Economic Development Council may not be a tabloid shocker, but it's crack to political junkies:
Bill Horn Is Running for One Last Term.
The deck is also tasty to inside baseball fans:
Tom Shepard Will Direct Supervisor's 2014 Campaign.
Let me explain why these Hot Stove League bulletins get the sap going.
Early Thursday, I walked with Horn from a parking lot at Cal State San Marcos into the lecture hall where the council, a group Horn virtually founded, was holding its meeting.
Billed to bloviate were Shepard, the region's best-known political consultant, and a columnist who's covered North County politics since Reagan ruled.
"I'm running," Horn told me after a quick exchange of hellos in the drizzle.
Like he wanted to get that detail out of the way.
Horn went on to say that he'd tried retiring in his late 30s after running a construction company but didn't like being part of the leisure class.
"I enjoy it," he said, meaning that, after 18 years on the Board of Supervisors, he still gets a kick out of governing and, one assumes, crushing all comers.
So there it is. Big Boss Bill of Valley Center is saddling up and riding again.
If he wins a sixth term — term limits passed two years ago preclude a seventh — he'll be nearly 76 when he quits.
As we approached the door, I slipped in one last question: Will Shepard, who's worked for Horn in the past, be on board?
Yes, Horn said. He will.
I knew Horn could read my thoughts.
But what about the local GOP's fatwa against the Judas who ran Nathan Fletcher's edgy indie mayoral campaign and then signed on with — horrors! — Democrat Bob Filner in the general election against GOP darling Carl DeMaio?
"I'll talk to (local GOP chairman Tony) Krvaric," Horn said. "I give the party a lot of money."
In other words, no one tells BBB whom to hire.
We parted in the lobby.
Later, stuck on stage, I compared my style of journalism to sportswriting.
In baseball, they talk of five-tool players, those blessed specimens who can hit, hit with power, field, throw and run.
In politics, I look for candidates who can talk to the press, talk with power on the stump, field questions out of left field, throw elbows in debate, and run the table in fundraising. Those are the five-tool pols who change history.
My instincts tell me that Horn's last supervisorial campaign will be among his most difficult. The bench of prospects is deeper than I've ever seen.
San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond, a Republican with a good pro-growth civic story to tell, has been sending signals that he might run. Desmond could poach developer dollars from Horn, for 18 years a spigot right into Horn's war chest. Desmond's got the tools to move up in a conservative district.
On the coast, Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood, a moderate Republican who backed out of the 2010 supervisor race, has indicated he might run from his safe mayoral seat, a play possibly more attractive now that he's been yanked from SANDAG by a hostile majority. Wood's average is fantastic in O'side's neighborhoods, but would he make contact outside North County's largest city? Scouts have to be convinced.

Hey guys, I had my 3Gs and due to it slowly dying my mother gave me her old one so I quickly wiped it upgraded to 6.0.1 and restored from backup. All good. However today after a days use I noticed one thing... I hadn't used it... No one had text me, Emailed me or Contacted me via facebook or anything... I could just be lonely I know, So I unlocked my screen and low and behold I had 13 unread texts, 6 Facebook notifications and 16 unread e-mails... What the hell.
After some testing it seems that notifications aren't making any sounds, displaying or anything. If I go to Settings -> Notifications I get nothing... Nothing at all.
Is it broke? Really cba with re-installing the firmware again.

Saint Lawrence Buried in Saint Stephen's Tomb
A horizontal panel that supports the main altarpiece, a predella often presents narrative scenes from the life of the saint or holy figure who is represented in the main image above it. In this example, Lorenzo illustrates the life of Saint Lawrence, a third-century deacon of the Catholic Church and an early martyr.
At an undetermined time and for reasons that remain unclear, this predella was removed from its altarpiece and cut into several pieces. Scholars have reconstructed the approximate sequence, following art-historical precedent, and arranged the scenes according to the devotional function of the predella rather than providing a strict chronology of events. This ordering places the widest panel—the depiction of the martyred Lawrence liberating the souls in Purgatory—as the central scene in the legend of the saint. During the early Renaissance, the Catholic faithful frequently invoked Lawrence to intercede for these penitent souls.
The arrangement of the panels is asymmetrical—with two scenes to the left of the central panel and three to its right—suggesting that an episode may be missing. With the exception of the martyrdom scene, Lorenzo consistently represents the saint with a halo, tonsured head, and pink robe, making him instantly recognizable throughout.

What a tease.Late last August, in a refreshing display of corporate munificence, GM invited around two dozen auto journalists to the sprawling Virginia International Raceway complex for an early look at the upcoming '06 Z06 supercar (Idle Chatter, Jan. '05). In addition to receiving a full technical briefing on the car, conducted by the Corvette engineering team, the assembled scribblers were allowed solo stints on VIR's 3.27-mile road course and even treated to a few full-warp hot laps with C6.R drivers Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell. For this small group of card-carrying car kooks, the VIR junket was the equivalent of a coke dealer's proffering a free "taste" of his latest cut.
But unlike the white stuff, whose euphoria-inducing effects are brief but easily replicable provided one has the means, this sample snootful of Team Corvette's latest intoxicant was intended to provide a lasting high. With new Z06s selling at an average of $15,000 over sticker, Chevy had little incentive to add the car to its press fleet, making it all but impossible for niche media outlets such as VETTE to obtain a sample for instrumented testing. As autumn expired and what passes for winter descended on Central Florida, our hopes of rounding up our own Z06 tester grew increasingly dim.
Then, last February, we heard from Virginia's Kevin Helmintoller. A fellow Vette-head with a heavy foot and a crippling addiction to big, silly horsepower, Helmintoller offered up both his 1,400-mile '06 Z06 and his 436ci Mallett/Cartek '01 Z as the subjects of a no-strings-attached drag session at Richmond International Raceway. After carefully considering the matter for, oh, three seconds or so, we dropped what we were doing and hied it for the airport.
Unless you've been stranded on Io for the past year-and-a-half, you're fully aware that the latest iteration of the Z06 is by far the quickest, fastest, most technologically advanced vehicle ever to sport the crossed-flags badge. Nevertheless, when Kevin Helmintoller showed up at our pseudo-shootout in a Victory Red Z wearing a "LO 11S" vanity plate, we had to wonder if he wasn't setting himself up for disappointment. After all, most published test results showed the car's true quarter-mile-acceleration times to be in the mid-to-high-11-second range, and even Chevy puts the figure at a "mere" 11.7
Helmintoller got off to a good start, nailing an 11.88 on his first run of the day. After a pair of backup runs failed to improve upon that number, he decided to unbolt the car's factory-issue Goodyear F1 EMTs and replace them with a gummier (and slightly wider) pair of Nitto Extreme Drag radials. While the Nittos helped with consistency, they failed to effect the three-to-four-tenths e.t. improvement we typically see from such a swap.
Ironically, the drag tires may actually have been too sticky for the dead-stock Z, as our test driver found out during one especially vigorous pre-run burnout. Hoping to shave a few hundredths from the car's 60-foot times, our man heated the tires to such a degree that their grip finally overwhelmed that of the factory clutch, instantly converting several thousand miles' worth of friction material into a dense, mephitic cloud. Note to prospective drag racers: Keep SPEC's number handy.
After the wounded clutch had cooled, Helmintoller managed to record the '06's quickest time of the day, an 11.74 at 124.14 mph. With a respectable run in the bag and a 20-mile drive home ahead of him, he elected to park the car and fire up the '01.


text: Me and three friends are going to New York this December and we will be staying in Manhattan a couple of blocks away from Times Square. Was wondering if someone could recommend a good place / event to go on New Year's eve. I did some research already but the right information is scarce and since this is my first time there it's a little bit difficult choosing a venue. Some people suggested Times Square but after reading a little bit about it it's rather overcrowded and everything ends by midnight.

Gender continues to influence residential design, but not necessarily in the conventional or stereotypical ways. "Gender is still something that clients bring to the table, whether overtly or stumbling into it without even realizing what they're saying," says interior designer Alene Workman in Hollywood, Fla. "It's the designer's responsibility to listen to these sometimes clear or unclear directions or subtle clues, and then incorporate those requests."
Designer Molly McGinness of Falmouth, Mass., experiences similar situations with her clients. "When someone says, 'I don't really want feminine or masculine details,' you have to figure out what they're saying," she says. In one instance, a client told McGinness she didn't like black, modern-looking sofas, which she associated with her husband's former bachelor pad. Instead, McGinness selected a warm brown sofa with a tufted feel done in leather – a choice pleasing to both wife and husband.
What's more, couples are making many of the design decisions together, a shift from years past. "Design isn't the way it used to be where the wife was the one decorating the home," notes Cleveland-based designer Dawn Cook, who reports that in the last 18 months she has worked with four men who are completely involved in their projects. The collaboration between men and women often means compromise – gender neutrality in some spaces, gender influences in others.
For those gender-specific rooms, the key is to design them uniquely, according to Cook. "It's important to incorporate interesting color palettes, textures and accessories that reflect the person who's using the room, while still having that gender-specific slant."
Cook, McGinness and Workman share their favorite projects where gender played a role – whether explicitly or subtly – in color selection.
Children's Rooms
Children's rooms are the most likely spaces to feature gender-specific colors, furnishings and accessories. But that doesn't mean they have to be conventional. For example, a couple in Florida commissioned Workman to oversee a renovation of their home, including the bedroom of their five-year-old daughter. Workman decided to create a room that was reflective of the young girl's dynamic personality but that would also grow with the child.
"The parents wanted their daughter's bedroom to be vibrant like the rest of the house," she explains. "They liked a lot of strong color but mixed in a sophisticated way." To that end, Workman selected a palette of hot pink, bright lime green and white. "It wasn't just another 'pink' girl's room, rather, it was the kind of room where you could easily just change out a few things as she got older."
For a recent project, Cook completed a "teen suite" occupying the entire third floor. One girl's bedroom integrated coral and purple, while the other used apple green and gray. In the shared bathroom, a palette of hot pink and indigo is accented by iridescent tiles. The girls – along with their teenage brother, whose bedroom is in the lower level – also share a community room designed to be inclusive of both genders. A fresh yellow-green color acts as a neutral in the room, complemented by carpet tiles in a variety of colored stripes and patterns. "We made the spaces classy and not too juvenile, yet we made sure everything was age-appropriate," Cook notes.
Master Bedroom
Designers walk a fine line in outfitting master bedrooms for couples. They must meet their clients' needs without skewing toward one gender or another – unless the clients specifically ask for it. Cook designed a master bedroom and closet where the wife requested feminine details throughout. "She wanted to feel at home in her space, and her husband was all for it," she says.
Cook selected colors and textures that were soothing "yet not so frilly that it would make the bedroom uncomfortable for her husband." To that end, she used a palette of soft white, cream and caramel, along with a pale icy blue-green color. In the closet, a chandelier accents pearlized gold paint on the walls.
McGinness recalls a project where the couple designed their bedroom as a joint venture. The color scheme comprised light- and medium-toned grays combined with a peachy orange, while a heavy gray burlap mixed with a silk ombre drape added both masculine and feminine details. McGinness also chose two different nightstands that reflected the pair's design preferences.
Home Office
The home office has long been considered the man's domain. But with more and more couples working from home, designers are keen to carefully create spaces suitable to the user. In one of her projects, Workman designed dual offices divided by a glass wall. "His office is very rich looking with a mixture of dark woods and dark colors," she explains, "but with her office on the other side of that glass, she didn't want to feel like she was in a man's den."
Workman used dark wood for the woman's desk to provide some continuity between the offices, while the surrounding cabinetry and bookcases are painted in white. "It's open, airy, clean-lined and incredibly feminine, yet the two spaces balance well," Workman notes.
Public Spaces
Places like the living room, kitchen and dining room are typically gender neutral, but once in a while, a homeowner will request a gender-infused public space. Such is the case with a current client of Cook's, a man who spends a lot of time in the kitchen. "He was looking for a Tommy Bahama–type space, something that was reflective of him," says Cook, who has chosen a palette of bamboo, dark mahoganies, dark and light greens, and ochre browns.
Whether clients are subtle or outspoken about gender influences, the ultimate goal is to create livable spaces that work with the rest of the home's design. "Men and women will gravitate toward [their own] color palettes," Cook says, "and it's our job as designers to pull everything together in a way that is unique and reflective of both spouses."

From last night while Ryan was doing this:
Ben: We should not get any more babies.
Me: But Mommy and Daddy love babies.
Ben: We should give our baby to a different family so they can have two kids and we should just have one kid. We should just have me. That would be great.
The end.

I can't leave this freakin' guy alone, but neither can anyone else right now. I'll tell you what, if this guy doesn't run it will be the most brilliant way to promote the finale of The Apprentice (when he is supposedly making his decision) ever..
10. Hail to the Chief can be replaced with The Apprentice theme song.
9. It's the ultimate lesser of two evils: The entrepreneur who once bankrupted his company vs. the world citizen who bankrupted
his the country.
8. Melania Trump could be the first First Lady ever to champion the cause of raising "taxes" to "strengthen" our "bottom line."
7. He'll shrink the government with weekly Cabinet meetings in the boardroom, televised with ads, where a department will be fired.
6. Any news story that involves Ivanka Trump by any news source will have to be referred to as Fox News.
5. The country will upgrade from a president who is a golfaholic to the guy who owns the courses.
4. No more bowing to foreign leaders, because it's too risky with a combover.
3. Nothing tells the world America is back better than a gold plated Air Force One.
2. A President Trump could do the job for free, saving the country at least $1.6 million, AKA the maximum Democrats will cut from the deficit.
1. He wont take a running mate so when he beats Obama he'll make him Vice President and call him The Apprentice.

I had a great experience with Neil Tenn and everyone at Lokey Nissan. They had me set up to see the cars I wanted, before any of the other local dealerships I contacted even bothered to respond to my internet requests. Once I arrived, I was blown away by the level of service. A great experience overall.

Lokey Nissan is the best! I have been going to the Lokey Nissan located on 27758 US19 Clearwater since I bought my Quest almost 13 years ago. The customer service from Jason Yates, Chris Cosgrove and all the others is outstanding. It is nice to feel special sometimes and that is the Nissan way all the time. I know I am stressed when my car needs repairs but THANK YOU boys for making a rough day a little happier.

I bought a new Nissan Juke and absolutely love it. The people at Lokey - Anthony Nash and all the others made me feel special. The service is great = free oil changes = ability to set up service on line and EVERYBODY has a smile and wants to help in any way you may need it. First deal I made by myself and was not coerced into it. The vehicle itself sold me.

New facility offers storage and document imaging solutions for warehousing customer data
Chicago, January 13, 2010 — Cintas Corporation today announced the opening of its newest document storage and imaging facility in Chicago. Equipped with the latest document storage and imaging technology, the facility provides solutions to help customers securely store, and maintain easy access to, sensitive business information and data. The new location complements its current document shredding facility in the Chicagoland area, fulfilling Cintas' full range of document management capabilities to serve the needs of businesses throughout northern Illinois.
"Each year, costly document management business practices result in millions of dollars in liability and lost productivity," said Chad Bevington, Regional Business Director of Cintas' Document Management Division. "Our new Chicago facility allows local businesses to keep important business data offsite in a secure, organized system that frees up space, ensures corporate compliance and gives customers greater efficiency to control and access their information."
Cintas is the first and only North American AAA NAID-certified and PCI DSS compliant document management provider. As with all its 80 document management locations located throughout North America, its Chicago location was designed to meet stringent standards set forth by these prestigious organizations. Its security diligence includes: cameras to digitally record facility activity, the latest building access control technology, fleet vehicles with security cameras, GPS systems, FE25 fire suppression systems, customized locking systems and early suppression/fast response fire systems to extinguish fire regionally and prevent potential water damage. Additionally, Cintas' eDelivery capabilities will find, scan and swiftly send any needed file through its InfoPort™ data system.
Cintas recognizes that a business can potentially waste millions of dollars per year through manual document handling and management. So Cintas' Chicago operation also provides document imaging services to scan and store documents to increase productivity, improve business processes and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for its customers. Documents are loaded into a searchable database that allows clients to securely retrieve information over the Web anytime, any place. The imaging process has been especially advantageous in applications involving business activities like accounts payable and human resource documentation.
"Compromising customer information can be very costly and damaging to a company's reputation," added Bevington. "We are excited to expand our presence in Chicago and provide local businesses the peace of mind that their sensitive business information is highly secure, yet easily accessible. We believe these solution-based services and our world-class team servicing the Chicago area market show our commitment to exceed our customers' expectations."
Cintas has garnered the trust and confidence in servicing more than 160,000 customers around the country for their document management needs. These customers trust Cintas with their confidential banking, healthcare and financial documents due to their stringent and proven track record of security whether in Cintas facilities, trucks or at customer offices.

THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

The Maritim Hall with stage and retractable orchestra pit holds up to 950 people and it can be configured to suit your needs. Six further meeting rooms are perfect for conferences of every type. The jewel in the crown is the Hamburg Salon on the tenth floor where meetings or celebrations for 30 people benefit most from the fantastic maritime setting.
Holding a conference in elegant surroundings with views of the Baltic sea encourages creativity and whets the appetite for one of many fringe activities when the working day is over. Boat trips, beach Olympics, shelling prawns or singing sea shanties are sure to get people motivated and build team spirit. We particularly recommend the Orangerie gourmet restaurant where award-winning chef Lutz Niemann works his culinary magic.
The hotel has 241 well-appointed rooms, (mostly 30 to 40m² in size), including seven luxurious penthouse suites (56 to 105m²) on the tenth floor of the hotel. Other facilities include the exclusive Maritim Spa & Beauty Care wellness centre (3,000m²) and the Orangerie gourmet restaurant which holds a Michelin star.
