Lollipop-Swapping Parents Warned Against Practice
Some parents are taking part in a modern day version of a chicken pox party. Moms and dads, paranoid about having their children inoculated against diseases, are choosing instead to expose their kids to viruses from other infected children using candy. Chicken pox-laced lollipops are passed around in the mail because the parents believe swapping lollipops licked by a sick child will build immunity for their own kids later in life. Officials say it's not only dangerous to keep kids from being vaccinated then exposing them to diseases, but it's ILLEGAL to mail contaminated candy, and considered tampering. The issue involves a Nashville woman that was shipping and receiving adulterated products. Sending chicken pox-infected lollipops, swabs or vials of saliva to parents who want to infect their children and avoid vaccinations is not only illegal, it can be lethal, said Dr. Tim Jones, Tennessee's state epidemiologist.
Stratford High School Student Arrested For Carrying Loaded Weapon At School
Metro police officers arrested a 16-year-old Stratford High School junior Friday afternoon for carrying a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol to class. Another student relayed information to the school's principal that the 16-year-old had the gun, and it was later discovered after the teen was searched in a hallway. Police said the gun contained 12 rounds of ammunition but none in the chamber. The student told police he had the pistol for protection and claimed to have bought it a couple of months ago. He was charged as a juvenile with unlawfully carrying a gun on school property.
New Guidelines Recommend Cholesterol Testing For Young Kids
New guidelines are recommending cholesterol testing for young children. The U.S. National Institutes of Health says children ages nine to eleven should be screened to avoid the development of heart disease. That's being backed up by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Previously, only youngsters with a family history of heart disease or cholesterol problems were recommended for screening. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says some states have an obesity rate for children at over 30 percent.

On the other hand, the more hours they spend watching TV, the higher their risk of depression.

Card Trick Quilt Pattern
At first glance, the traditional Card Trick quilt block might seem difficult, but if you cut and sew its patches systematically, you'll find it goes together with no problems whatsoever.Finished Card Trick Block Size: 9" square
Finished Quilt Size: 63-1/2" x 84-1/2"
A Word About Quarter Square Triangle Units
It's nice when we can use quick piecing to assemble quarter square triangle units -- like the units in all but the corner positions of the Card Trick block. But because quick piecing results in mirror-image units, and all of the individual units for this quilt must be identical to create the proper flow, we'll assemble them triangle by triangle.We will quick piece the half square triangle units used in the corners of each quilt block.
Choose Your Quilting Fabrics
The Card Trick block has four "cards" that appear to overlap; most quilts are sewn using a different fabric for each card. I prefer just a bit of color value variation among the four card fabrics, but you'll see other examples with more contrast between fabrics.One caution, avoid high contrast in fabrics arranged side-by-side or your blocks could resemble a swastika. It's sad that what was once a religious symbol has acquired a negative meaning, but most quilters wish to avoid any connection with the symbol unless they are purchasing a vintage quilt.
Card fabrics are labeled on page 2.Fabric A: 7/8 yard
Fabric B: 7/8 yard
Fabric C: 1 yard (also used in cornerstones)
Fabric D: 7/8 yard
Light Background: 1-3/8 yards
Sashing: 1-5/8 yards
Border: 2-1/4 yards (from lengthwise strips)
- 1-1/4 yards for crosswise strips
Binding: about 315 running inches doublefold binding (binding instructions)
Backing: 5-1/2 yards (backing instructions)
Batting: About 75" x 95"

Have Fun Burning In Hell, You Jackass: Man Steals Gameboys From Open Casket Funeral
In sad news, a 17-year old died on Christmas after crashing his car into a telephone pole (rest in peace, buddy). Then, at his funeral a few days later, a 37-year old family "friend" decided to steal the Gameboys others had left for the boy in his casket. Who are you to decide if Gameboys go to heaven or not?!
The boy's uncle, Robert McCombs Jr., approached Bennett after Bennett got in his vehicle and was about to drive away. He asked Bennett about a missing Game Boy.
"The defendant told the uncle that he did not have the Game Boy," according to the affidavit of probable cause. "The uncle then told the defendant that he could see the Game Boy inside the vehicle. The defendant then produced the Game Boy and returned it to the uncle."As that video system was being returned to the casket, family members noticed that a Game Boy Light and three games were missing.
Bennet, according to his aunt, is "into alcohol" and is "just messed up."
Oh yeah? Well Bennet (THE THIEF), according to the Geekologie Writer, is "gonna burn in hell" and "spend eternity getting flaming game cartridges stuffed up his ass with a pitchfork". Just sayin', the devil's gettin' pretty excited about it.

Coyotes goalie Mike Smith ready to return
One of the injured was starting goalie Mike Smith. Smith left in the third game of the season against Columbus with a groin issue, but Thursday at optional skate he said he's ready to get back on the ice and contribute.
"I'm here, skating," he said. "It's gotten a lot better over the last few days so I'm excited to get back in the lineup."
The Coyotes ended up winning the game Smith exited, beating Columbus 5-1, but have only recorded one more win since. They've also used two goalies, Jason LaBarbera and Chad Johnson, in Smith's absence.
"It's kind of frustrating watching from the sidelines. It's not something I like to do, I feel kind of helpless. Johnny (Chad Johnson) went in and played a couple great games for us and we're playing a lot better hockey so hopefully we can keep it going."
Before the last two contests, Phoenix had allowed an NHL-high 20 goals in five games. Some of that was due to poor defense and some was due to poor goaltending.
"I'm ready, so hopefully I can get back in there soon and start helping the team. I think we've played a lot better as of late and the last couple games have been more like Coyote hockey so it's an exciting time to get back in."
Smith made sure to emphasize that this is not the same injury he was dealing with last season, when he also suffered a pulled groin. He added having an abbreviated training camp and no preseason games probably didn't help.
"It was a short camp, didn't have much time to feel yourself in the games. The groins both kind of got a little tired at the same time. It was unfortunate that I had to miss some games but like I said, I'm here to move on and hopefully I can get one of these games on the weekend."
The Coyotes play a home and home with the Stars starting Friday night in Dallas. After that they host the Minnesota Wild and the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday and Thursday of next week.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 560
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by jejb001 Very Good Hotel.
We did a lot of research before choosing this hotel for our 6 year anniversary weekend. We only stayed two nights but the hotel and staff were excellent. The location is excellent and is a very short walk from Times Square. We chose a sky view corner king room which was very nice and the views didn't dissapoint. Overall a very good stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially Elvis. I would definitely go back and will recommend to anyone I know travelling to NY. Make sure you get a high floor room though.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by dm1973 IHG Loyalty -
I selected this Hotel due to the location, price and also my preference to use Intercontinental, where possible, in order to build my loyalty points etc.
The hotel was great. Fantastic location, but also re-assuringly restful in a busy part of town, clean with friendly staff. Not the lowest cost option in this area for a similar standard, but quite competitive all the same.
I was slightly disappointed though at not being allocated the loyalty points, as I was told if booking through Expedia etc, this does not register in terms of spend ?

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Hairflap Lovely renovated hotel, convenient location
Our corner room on the 25th floor was small, but well appointed with views looking south and east. Bed was very comfortable. Plenty of storage drawers to unpack. Ice bucket hidden on a shelf near the floor and the safe is very inconvenient, near the floor in the closet, difficult to see to use. Unfortunately, there was terrible noise on Saturday night and I had to call front desk to get security twice, as late as 1:30 AM. That did not make for a good night sleep. We were compensated by Ambassador Club agent removing our bar charges, which was nice. This hotel is right in the theater district and near many wonderful restaurants. The lounge in the hotel is very comfortable and has a small but adequate bar menu. I do think that being charged $19 for a martini is a little over the top!

excelent hotel to stay in New York close to everything in Times Square.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Joshfive78 A great place to stay
Very enjoyable.
So comfortable.
We stayed here since we were seeing phantom of the opera. The hotel is only 1block walk to the theater.
Parking across the street was easy and they were all so nice.
We will definitely stay here again and again.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by 1964al Good stay despite the snow!
Very popular hotel, great location in Midtown. Sometimes a little difficult to find seating in the lounge so a second lounge would be a good addition. Staff were excellent and always helpful. Look forward to staying again.
23 February 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by GinaInNy Excellent Location for New York Theater
It's truly difficult to beat this hotels location near Broadway. Within easy walking distance to any of the theaters and featuring countless dining choices nearby, it's a perfect choice when you're planning dinner and a show.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Edzo First Time in NYC
We suprised our kids (ages 13 and 10) and took them to NYC. The room was very nice, high floor, and very quiet. We appreciated the liitle things, like the convenient parking across the street and the short walk into Time Square. The location was perfect. The front door staff were so friendly!!
The only negative and it was a big negative, is that we thought a stranger was entering into our room at 9:45/10PM as he had a key, but thankful that the door was bolted. We were all ready to go to bed at that time! I screamed at the person and called security! We later found out that it was a senior staff person from house keeping, but still...why would someone enter at that hour. Security was very nice and explained the situation, they even offered us free breakfast, but we turned it down; but still no one followed up with us afterwards, especially a manager which I found odd?
Overall, we had a nice time and would return.

Comments about Sunpentown International Sunpentown Oscillating Tower Fan with Ionizer - Remote Controlled:
We are using this fan in our bedroom and are impressed how quiet it is compared to past fans. It's easy to move the fan from one room to another and does not take up a lot of space. I also like the remote control feature which is great to have when you wake up in the middle of the night to make a quick change without interrupting your sleep completely. The design is cool and all but I think it could be a little bit more stable. In all I would definitely recommend the fan.

Great hostel, pancake breakfast was mint. Rooms comfortable with air con and comfortable beds. Owner is a bit odd but still a nice guy... stair case up to the dorms is a wee death trap... should get some attention as a bit unsafe with those walking up and down with large packs. Good place would most def stay here again

A great hostel but travellers should know that it is smack bang in the centre of the party district, and loud dance music does not stop until very late, usually during my 3 day stay around 5 or 6am. So not recommended to those who wish to catch up on sleep.

Nice spot. Helpful staff and handy location. Air con was awesome since Cartagena is as hot as the sun. The rooms do get some street noise as well as the bar out the front doesn't help but the air com drowns it all out. If you can't get this place, book the place across the road as it looked good.

Our room was upgrated to a room with air conditioner, so we slept very well, thank you! :D The rooms are clean and the shower is very good but with not many water. When you leave your room you stand directly near to the tables where the people sit and drink in the night. The staff is very helpful and you can easily book trips to playa blanca or others directly in the hostel.

We stayed in an ensuite double. They didn't clean the bathroom once and we stayed for 4 nights which made it pretty disgusting especially when you can't throw toilet paper down the loo. I also saw mice in the kitchen. Atmosphere was good . Location brilliant. Music is played until 2am so just make sure you are ok with this

I got infected by Win32.Umex.f and Win32.Agent.eeoe while running 7.0.483 that had all of the current updates. I was still running 7.0.483 due to ZA 9.0 +++++ conflicts with my HP All-In-One Printer/Fax Software. ZA told me to reinstall and run 7.0.483 and that as long as I was current with updates, I would be fully protected.
Even though ZA reported that the virus' were quarantined, I was having problems with Photoshop and I got a message that ZA Antivirus was being disabled. I caught that and immediately started running scans, both ZA and Malware Bytes. Other than the files already quarantined, nothing found. I deleted the quarantined files and rebooted. Every time I rebooted, I had no ip connection to my local network. I booted to safe mode and ran the scans again. Nothing found. I tried to do a system restore to 3 different dates but Windows could not make any changes.
I did a clean unistallation of 7.0.483 using the current clean tool and installed 9.3.014 and so far, it seems ZA fixed the compatiabilty issue I reported when running 9.0+++++. New SuperScans using 9.3 find nothing. Everytime I reboot I have no local network connection although ZA is reporting a new network found with the right ip address. I have to manually ip release and renew to connect to my local network. Any ideas how I can fix this problem? Am I still infected? How did these virus' get past ZA? Is there another Anti Virus program, hopefully free, that I should try?

Victoria Beckham might look like a miserable so-and-so most of the time but don't let that pout fool you people - it turns out she really is quite funny after all.
After her banging on about her 'great sense of humour' on more than a few occasions over the years - and us not believing a word of it - it seems Posh is backing up the claims with some genuinely LOL moments via the medium of Twitter.
After taking on the role of trolly dolly on a flight to Beijing last week (surely up there with some of the campest moments of all time?) Posh has been playing up to the camera again - this time behind the counter of Starbucks in the Chinese capital.
Dressed in her trademark shades and LBD, Posh even popped on one of the chain's... wait for it... green aprons to serve up a frappuccino. The horror!
Was that a sharp intake of breath we just heard from Anna Wintour's office?
Tomorrow... Posh asks 'You want fries with that?' as she does the early shift at McDonalds.

The federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) and corresponding state statutes currently mandate that states administer a standards-based English language proficiency test annually to all English Learners (ELs) in kindergarten through grade twelve in public schools. In order to comply with the NCLB requirement of an annual English Language Proficiency Assessment, Wyoming joined the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) consortium in 2009. The WIDA consortium's goal is to provide research based assessments, standards and professional development to its member states. The WIDA consortium is dedicated to the design and implementation of high standards and equitable educational opportunities for English learners.
WIDA provides Wyoming with a placement test called the W-APT® (WIDA ACCESS Placement Test) the W-APT® is an English proficiency screening assessment that is based upon the ACCESS for ELLs®. Its purposes are the following:
ACCESS for ELLs® is a large-scale test which addresses the academic English language development (ELD) standards at the core of the WIDA consortium's approach to instructing and evaluating the progress of English learners. All identified English learners in Wyoming participate in this testing program. This secure, annual assessment gives educators, parents and guardians information about the English Language Proficiency level of English learners (ELs) in kindergarten through grade 12 in the skill areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. It also contains social and academic language contexts. For Title III accountability, ACCESS for ELLs® measures annual gains in English language proficiency - Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs).
2012-2013 ACCESS Testing Window: February 4, 2013 - March 8, 2013
The Alternate ACCESS for ELLs® is an assessment of English language proficiency (ELP) for students in grades 1-12 who are classified as English learners (ELs) and have significant cognitive disabilities that prevent their meaningful participation in the ACCESS for ELLs® assessment. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB; 2001) requires that all students identified as ELLs be assessed annually for English language proficiency, including students who receive special education services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; 2004) also mandates that students with disabilities participate in state-wide and district-wide assessment programs, including alternate assessments with appropriate accommodations, when it is documented in their Individualized Education Programs (IEP). For this reason, WIDA created the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs® to meet federal accountability requirements and to provide educators with a measure sensitive to English language proficiency growth of ELs with significant cognitive disabilities.
In order to receive meaningful information from the test, it is very important that only students who meet all three criteria below participate in the assessment. Other ELs should continue to take the existing ACCESS for ELLs® assessment, with appropriate accommodations as necessary. Participation should be decided by the student's IEP team.

The infrastructure is older and because it is county run, a lot of deferred maintenance. Roads are narrow, and you must be careful with trees as you drive. There are only a couple of sites with sewer and the dump stations are in the middle of the park (which for us meant driving around the park again to get to them). But it is a pretty setting, lake is nice. We rented a canoe and had a good time. Winters is also a nice dining town (supposedly 1/3 of UC Davis employees make up residents). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A fine campground adjacent to Putah Creek. We stayed riverfront which carries a "premium" campsite fee of $10...and worth it. An easy creekside hiking (the "Shoreline Trail) trail about 1/2 mile long. About 1/3 of the sites have electric and water. Additionally, a few of those have sewer hook-up. Nice spot. Rustic campground and fits well with the surroundings. We would and will camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects a senior discount for a site with electric and water. Charming, quiet, treed, rustic park with friendly greeters (peacocks) and helpful camp host. Some spots could be difficult to get into for a bigger rig, but we were able to find a perfect one for our 32' fifth wheel which was an easy back in. We only needed an overnight stop, but would have loved to stay longer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park to visit. My family along with a family we brought along with us stayed here and had a great time. We came in two vehicles in addition to my travel trailer. They limit each sight to 10 people and we were right at the limit with the two families. They charge $10.00/night per additional vehicle and the first pet is included in the original per night charge. $1.00/night per additional pet. They have two sites for the public that have water sewer and electric. Reservations can only be made by phone, it is best to call on a Saturday as if you call during the week you will probably get voice mail and they will return your call when they can. I played telephone tag with them just a bit. There is no online reservation at all. It is called Lake Solano but there really isn't a lake at the campground, it is right next tothe Putah creek. Beautiful place with wild Turkey's & Peacock having free roam of the park. They advertise big rig access but it may be a bit tight in some spaces. I have a 31' model pulling with a SUV and anything more and I don't think I would have been able to park in my sight, in fact I had to go against the signs of traffic direction to get out of my space. I don't know if they would have had heartache if they would have seen but that's what I had to do. I would highly recommend this campground and I will visit it again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had two family's on one site. Friends camped with us in our travel trailer which sleeps 9, we had 10 all together. Thankfully we were able to sleep some little people doubled up on one of the lower bunks. The park states limits at 8 campers per site but the ranger said the limit is 10 max so we made out. Very friendly staff but limited due to budget cuts. You cannot make reservations via computer, they must be made by phone and you will probably play telephone tag just a bit as you must leave a message and they will return your call. Best to call on Saturday, when we arrived in town and called they answered right away. The park is beautiful! If you are expecting a polished and manicured campground, then you may be disappointed. It is clean and well maintained, we didn't use the park facilities as we would prefer to use our own. There are only two sites available to the public that have full hookups with water, sewer and electric, #34 and #56. There are other spaces that have water and electric only, and of course spaces that have nothing. I look forward to coming to this park again, we had a great time with our friends and the kids had a blast! Wild turkey, and peacock have free roam of the place. Big rig access in the lower area can be tight. We had to go against the marked traffic direction to get our 34' (tongue to bumper) TT out, pulled with a relatively short wheelbase sport utility vehicle. It is doable, with some care. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It is a great place for a short trip in the winter months. Summer here can be hot and crowded the bees are bad in summer as well. There is lake fishing and boating nearby you can fish the river but they have seasonal rules. It is nice for riding bikes and walking and they have a seasonal nature center. The price is right and the people are friendly and they don't bother you unless you are very loud. The gate locks at 8pm so plan accordingly you can park a car outside the gate if you forget. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have been here a few times, and each time this location gets worse! The grounds are not kept up, the grass isn't watered, and due to county budget cuts, there are no "park rangers" at the facility. The restrooms leave a lot to be desired. I will NOT return to Lake Solano. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This county park is really nice except that budget cuts are playing a negative role here. Too many sites don't allow a 11-12 foot high RV to access them because of over hanging branches that normally would easily allow it to set up. What a shame. One guy working a few hours per week could fix this problem. Guess it's just part of the not-my-job culture as lots of workers are doing other things at this park and in my opinion could fix the problem in two days. I will not go back to this wonderful place until I can be assured that over hanging branches and limbs won't damage my roof a/c's and satellite dish. On the plus side, the setting is terrific, the sites are mostly spacious, the young lady at the front gate was very accommodating, the Peacocks were entertaining and the Summer weather was wonderful (warm during the day and perfect for sleeping.) We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park located only a few miles from Lake Berryessa with plenty to keep you busy. Putah Creek is known nationwide for its outstanding trout fishing. Whether summer or winter, this is a fun and relaxing place to be. There are a few bike trails that run along the creek with plenty of wildlife to view. The first morning camping, we stepped out of our trailer to find 40 wild turkey walking right by our spot. There are also about a dozen free roaming peacocks that make their rounds through the park and seem to be very used to people. There are plenty of nice big bathrooms throughout the park with free showers also. Each site has its own picnic table, fire pit, and very spacious area. Sites 30-67 are located on the bottom side of the park with a wooded atmosphere and are located very close to the water. However, if you are pulling over a 35 ft trailer, it may be a little tight in most of the spots. We have a 35 ft 5th wheel and only found a few sites in this area that we could get into. Also, expect to pay $10 more a night for sites located right on the water since they are considered Premium but in my opinion are worth it. Sites 1-29 and 68-90 are located in the upper portion of the park with a background of rolling hills and the sites set in the middle of a clean cut park with many beautiful maple trees. There is a "Day Use" area across the street that also belongs to the park that offers plenty of water sports in the summer time. However during the winter months, all that is available is bike trails and picnicking…still fun. The only downfall about the park is the Rangers close the gates at dusk and reopen them at dawn. There are 2 camp hosts that are permanent residents that will be available to let you out if needed. Just plan ahead and it shouldn't be an issue. Overall we were very pleased with the park and look forward to staying here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a pretty park on the Putah River, just east of Winters and about 10 miles north of Vacaville and just south of Lake Berryessa. Their phone is 530-795-2990. Sites are spacious with plenty of walnut trees and shade, grass, and free-roaming peacocks. Picnic tables and grills at each site. Very peaceful and quiet, especially during the week. Free hot showers. No WiFi and weak cell phone reception. Dark at night (which we like). Fishing on the river a few feet away. No sewers, but two dump stations. Note -- they lock the gate at 6 or 6:30, so plan ahead. We enjoyed the setting so much we stayed a few extra days just to unwind. We camped here in a Motorhome.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Although Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris' deadly 1999 rampage at Columbine High School lasted less than an hour - during which time 12 students and a teacher died - their actions have had a lasting effect on schools all over the country.
The killings at Columbine still are affecting schools around the country, how they are built, how they are staffed and how school personnel react to emergencies.
The Dec. 14 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut renewed public interest in school safety, but for many administrators, the conversation never stopped.
The shootings at Columbine inspired changes to school buildings meant to prevent emergencies from happening in the first place.
Chuck Wilson, Kanawha schools' facilities director, said older schools were designed with the principal's office on the second floor or somewhere at the end of a hall, where noise from classrooms wouldn't distract administrators from their paperwork.
Now, schools are designed so the principal's office is centrally located, allowing them a view of the front driveway and walkways, as well as the school's main corridors.
"Kind of like a centralized control of the building," he said.
Kanawha County Schools now require visitors to buzz in at a school's front entrance before entering the building.
These "man traps" are equipped with an intercom system and a camera, so office staff can see and communicate with each visitor before they walk into the school.
Those building access systems can be scheduled to leave the doors open at certain high-traffic times, like when students are arriving in the morning or during ballgames after school. But Wilson said the system also has a special lockdown feature that will override that schedule, lock all the school's exterior doors and alert law enforcement there is an emergency.
"You've basically got a panic button in the office area they can press," he said.
Wilson said the school system also is working to install driver's license scanners at school entrances.
"If someone looks suspicious you can ask them to run their driver's license through," he said.
The information on the license could then be checked against law enforcement databases.
Safety measures are becoming more high-tech with each school Kanawha County builds.
The newly completed Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary has motion sensors in every classroom, primarily used to turn the lights off when students are not present. But Wilson said those sensors also can be used in emergency situations.
"First responders, if they can interface with this building system, they'll know what rooms where activities are going on," he said.
The school also has a special television channel that is usually devoted to energy management information but could be used in the event of a lockdown or security breach to broadcast messages to classrooms, give students information on what to do or show a map of where intruders are located.
Wilson pointed out that technology and building controls are only tools to head off deadly attacks at schools. Missy Ruddle, Kanawha County's assistant superintendent for middle schools, said she agrees.
"Somebody wants in the building, it's very hard to keep someone that determined out of the building," Ruddle said.
So, in addition to ensuring school buildings are safe and secure, Kanawha County now trains its teachers and staff how to protect students when an emergency occurs.
Like clockwork
Ruddle was principal at McKinley Middle in 1999. While schools had long practiced emergency drills, most were to prepare for fires or natural disasters. Following the shootings at Columbine, Ruddle said schools developed safety plans for nearly any situation imaginable, including school shootings.
"It took away an innocence," she said.
Shortly after the Columbine shootings, Ruddle said school system administrators asked principals to run a lockdown drill, where students are locked in their classrooms to protect them from intruders, and then pull the fire alarm at the same time to confuse teachers.
Although teachers and students had some initial problems with the drills - one teacher let his students into the hallway when Ruddle pulled the fire alarm during a lockdown drill - she said the drills have now become a routine part of school life.
"It always amazes me. The kids know exactly what to do. The teachers and the administration in these schools are constantly thinking about scenarios," she said.

Please remember to add a question next time for every post in this thread for another person :P
@Insanish Danish; favorite Puella Magi Madoka Magica main character?
@Kakuna Matata; what is good about Gravity Falls?
Friend Safari Info: Flying (Pidgey, Hoothoot, Fletchfinder)
Nothing quite like a curry, a nap and Liumin :p
@Musashi; Frasier or Niles?
@Jack Pschitt; how much do you love Niles?
Arrgh, it's a tie between Kyoko and Sayaka. I seriously can't decide which one I like better. XD I love all of them, though.
@Kakuna Matata; I know you watch Sherlock and I want to know how you can stand the long wait for season 3 when just 8 months without Korra is driving me insanedo you have more patience than me *sobs*
aka Insanish Danish
@Toboar; would you trade a Lv1 Sudowoodo for a Lv100 Mew?

Niles, but only by a little.
@Fokko; Who's your favorite goggle boy and why? (I'm guessing Taiki.)
It's either Taiki or Takato... hard to decide as they're both pretty awesome.
@Paperhorse; what wish would you make in Madoka?
Oh gosh... ummmm.... I'm going to be lame and say, true love, maybe? A successful career? I DON'T KNOW. I would have to think about it more.
I'll go with finding a soulmate.
I'm going to ask you the same question, what would you wish for? And actually answer the question, don't think of some excuse why you can't :P
Oh, and you can't wish for more wishes either.
