This is awesome. Endurance has been found

Very cool! But not trying to be a killjoy, but:

The Weddell Sea is pretty much permanently covered in thick sea-ice, the same sea-ice that ruptured the hull of Endurance. Getting near the presumed sinking location is hard enough, never mind being able to conduct a search. But herein also lies part of the success of the FMHT project. This past month has seen the lowest extent of Antarctic sea-ice ever recorded during the satellite era, which stretches back to the 1970s. The conditions were unexpectedly favourable.

Remarkable state of preservation, wow.

What a prick. If I was that child’s parent, he’d get clocked.

A recently retired teacher in Indiana was arrested and charged with battery last week after he was caught on video allegedly striking a student.

A judge found probable cause to charge Mike Hosinski, a veteran teacher at Jimtown High School in Elkhart County, with battery causing moderate injury, a level six felony, the South Bend Tribune reported. Elkhart County is about three hours outside of Indianapolis.

If convicted, the teacher faces up to 2.5 years in prison.

Hosinski was approved for early retirement last week after the video surfaced of him allegedly hitting a student on Feb. 25 for wearing a hoodie.

In the video, Hosinski can be seen chasing a student down the hallway before pushing him against the wall. He points a finger at the student during an exchange and then appears to slap him across the face.

Hosinski then attempts to drag the student with him down the hall but the student collapses on the ground. Another school official in the video can be seen directing Hosinski away from the student.

After the incident, Hosinski announced to school officials he would retire early, a move that was approved by the school board on Monday.

The Indiana Department of Child Services and the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department are both investigating the incident.


According to court documents reviewed by the South Bend Tribune, investigators spoke to the boy involved in the incident. He said after he was hit, suffered a throbbing headache, as well as a bloody nose and lip.

An initial hearing is scheduled on the case for March 10, according to the outlet.

Hosinski was released after his arrest on Thursday on a $1,500 bond.

Assault someone.. get to retire early. What a world.

[NTP66]

Yeah, he'd be on the receiving end of a beat down if that were my kid.

[mikey]

I don't like hoodies very much...I might own like two or three tops and I hardly wear them, they just look sloppy. But I wouldn't hit a kid over it, probably...

The article says "for wearing a hoodie" - is that based on real events? I didn't listen to the video with sound on, so if it's clear in there, then my bad...

[NTP66]

Gonna go out on a limb here and say there's no valid reason for him assaulting a child.

[mikey]

Oh, yeah, that goes without saying...I'm just asking, "did the teacher run down the hall and hit a child because he was wearing a hoodie" or "did the teacher run down the hall and a hit a child who happened to be wearing a hoodie"?

[NTP66]

Ah, gotcha. Guess we'll find out more soon enough.

[shoeshine boy]

100% guess: kid walks past the teacher with his hood up. teacher tells him to take it off because he's inside. kid doesn't hear him because he's got headphones on. teacher gets mad because he thinks the kid is ignoring him, says something like, "you listen when I tell you to do something!" smacks kid who probably hits his head on the wall. when kid collapses teacher assumes that he's faking.
that dude is screwed.

In reading the description I thought this was going to be a high school-aged thing. Yikes.

Something very similar happened to me in high school but I mostly deserved it. We didn't have cameras in every hallway back then, though.

[eddy]

I had a teacher pick me up by my neck and pin me to the wall in 6th grade because of something he thought I did to his son. Absolutely nothing happened. couldn't imagine today what would.

Assault someone.. get to retire early. What a world.

Seems to me there's a profession where you can kill someone and just retire early...

*cough* *police* *cough*

I can hear a great horned owl outside my window. I think that's a first for me. Pretty neat.

Remember ringback tones? That was a dark time for cell phones.

Remember ringback tones? That was a dark time for cell phones.

Jurassic Park theme for me. No way there was anything bad about that.

[shafnutz05]

Remember ringback tones? That was a dark time for cell phones.

Every once in a blue moon I will be calling a job candidate and will hear "Please enjoy this Verizon ringback tone while your party is reached", and it cuts into a horrible modern country song.

[Kane]

That would be an automatic hangup from me.
