Jan Karlseder
Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory
Donald and Darlene Shiley Chair
Jan Karlseder, professor in the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, is focusing on understanding the functions of mammalian telomeres. Telomeres, the protein-DNA complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes, are crucial in DNA replication, tumor suppression, and aging. Every time a primary human cell divides, its telomeres get shorter, until critically short telomeres lead to terminal cell cycle arrest. The Karlseder Laboratory believes that a better understanding of this telomere shortening process will lead to an ability to influence the aging process, and as a result to the restriction of cancer cell growth.
Current research centers on different aspects of telomere dynamics, namely the involvement of telomeres in premature aging diseases, interactions between the DNA damage machinery and telomeres, and telomere processing during the cell cycle.
"Safeguarding the ends of linear chromosomes, known as telomeres, is essential for survival. We are trying to understand how cells keep tabs on their telomeres, how they control cellular proliferation and lifespan and how they regulate the interrelationship of aging and cancer."
Telomeres, the protective ends of chromosomes, become shorter each time cells divide. Often described as the genomic equivalent of the plastic caps that keep shoelaces from fraying, telomeres mask those ends from vigilant repair proteins, which might mistake exposed chromosome ends for broken DNA. When telomeres become critically short and fail to protect the chromosomes, cells cease to grow, or die. On one hand, this process controls cellular and organismal aging by limiting the number of times cells can divide. On the other hand, this limitation on cellular proliferation ensures that cells do not become immortal and therefore represents a powerful tumor suppressive pathway, illustrating the intricate relationship between aging, proliferation and cancer formation.
Karlseder and his group have recently discovered that the relationship between telomeres and cancer extends much further than previously assumed. The group discovered that if cells take too long to undergo cell division, the telomeres send out a molecular SOS signal. These findings have dual implications for cancer therapy. First, they show how a class of anti-cancer drugs that slows cell division—known as mitotic inhibitors— kills cells. This class includes the commonly used chemotherapy drugs vinblastine, Taxol and Velcade. While these drugs have been in use for decades, it was unclear why they actually killed cancer cells. Research from the Karlseder lab has now demonstrated that exposure to mitotic inhibitors causes telomeres to lose their protective function, and the cells respond with stress signals that eventually lead to the death of cancer cells.
Second, these findings suggest ways to make therapies with mitotic inhibitors more potent; novel strategies could be used in combinatorial cancer chemotherapy regimes, which rely on the synergy between two or more drugs. The theory is that a multi-pronged approach might pack more of a wallop than a sledgehammer alone. By providing the link between mitotic inhibition, telomere deprotection and cell death, Karlseder's lab continues to unravel the intricate links between chromosome ends, aging and cancer.

Sending out an SOS: How telomeres incriminate cells that can't divide
March 11, 2012
The well-being of living cells requires specialized squads of proteins that maintain order. Degraders chew up worn-out proteins, recyclers wrap up damaged organelles, and-most importantly-DNA repair crews restitch anything that resembles a broken chromosome. If repair is impossible, the crew foreman calls in executioners to annihilate a cell. As unsavory as this last bunch sounds, failure to summon them is one aspect of what makes a cancer cell a cancer cell. Read more>>

Roughly a third of applicants get admitted to Colgate University. To get in, you'll need grades and standardized test scores that are significantly above average. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. You can see that the majority of successful applicants had high school grades in the "A" range, ACT composite scores of 28 or higher, and combined SAT scores of 1900 or better. The higher those grades and test scores, the better your chances are of getting good news from Colgate.
Note that there are quite a few red dots (rejected students) and yellow dots (waitlisted students) mixed in with the green and blue throughout the graph. Many students with grades and test scores that were on target for Colgate University did not win admission. On the flip side, note that some students were accepted with test scores and grades a little bit below the norm. This is because Colgate University's admissions process, like that of most highly selective private universities, is based on much more than numerical data. Colgate uses the Common Application and has a holistic admissions process. The admissions folks will be looking for a winning essay, interesting extracurricular activities, and strong letters of recommendation. The college will also consider your background and the way that you will contribute to the school's diverse learning community.

Sheryl Crow Has Some Fun At the Sam Houston Hotel
Nothing like a little celebrity appearance to make a hotel re-opening event really sparkle, and that's what happened last week when Sheryl Crow turned up at the Sam Houston (which used to be called The Alden).
The 100-room hotel recently completed renovation work on all guest rooms, suites, and public spaces (the rooms now "combine clean decor with contemporary touches," which is a good thing, since the hotel's been around since 1924!), and has spent the past month celebrating its grand re-opening. Meanwhile, Sheryl Crow has a new album coming out, and she was in town doing promo at a local radio station.
The opportunity was too good to pass up!

Houston to Get Three Marriotts Under One Roof
Oh no they didn't!
Marriott announced this week they'll open a third - yes, a third - hotel inside Houston's historic Humble Oil Building by converting 82 apartments into hotel rooms. A new 166-room SpringHill Suites, slated to open in 2015, will join the 191-room Courtyard and the 171-room Residence Inn already residing in the building.
Apparently, Marriott doesn't think three's a crowd. We have seen examples of two brands under one roof, but we can't come up with another site that houses three hotels of the same parent company. There will be 528 hotel rooms in total if you treat them as one conglomerate, but it's not even close to being the biggest dog in town. The Hilton Americas-Houston, for example, has 1,200 rooms.

When Bad Revolving Floors Happen To Good People
Or is it the other way around...?
We didn't think it was possible to have a bad time at a revolving restaurant on top of a hotel, but one family in Katy, TX has found a way. Back In October, reports The Houston Chronicle, while dining at Spindeltop atop the Hyatt Regency Houston with her parents, a four-year-old girl got her foot stuck in the gap between the slowly-rotating floor and the window. A few panic-stricken moments ensued as they struggled to free her, but luckily the girl came away with her foot intact, and only a few lacerations. Scary!
The bad news? The family is now suing Hyatt for the incident, claiming the gap didn't have any warning signs, and that the hotel handled the situation badly.
Well, gee.

Bringing a Little Magic To The Autograph Collection
The Hotel Icon in Houston has been around since 1911, and used to house the Union National Bank. But in January, the struggling landmark was acquired by a company known as Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund, a side project of NBA legend Magic Johnson.
The new ownership had decided the hotel would be re-branded by an unnamed "major luxury national hotel chain" at some point over the summer. It has now been revealed that the Icon will be inducted into Marriott's exclusive Autograph Collection, and will officially relaunch in two weeks.
This will be the Autograph Collection's twenty-fifth hotel, though properties in the Caribbean and in other parts of Europe are planned for 2012.

Gas Package Spotted: Houston Hotel's 'So Tank Full' Package
The Alden-Houston Hotel in Houston is offering a silly-named gas package called the "So Tank Full" that includes deluxe room accomodations for one night, overnight valet parking and a $50 gas card. If you upgrade to a suite you get a $75 gas card.
The price for a deluxe room is $179 and the price of a suite is $229. Taxes not included.
Once you get to the Alden-Houston, you probably won't even need your car. The hotel is four blocks from Minute Maid Park, six blocks from Downtown's new Discovery Green and the Theatre District, and just one block from the Metro Light Rail which can take you wherever else you need to go in town.

A self-employed photographer and her flight-attendant husband pleaded not guilty Monday morning to conspiracy to commit bestiality, according to a Maricopa County Superior Court official.
Sarah Dae Walker, 33, and Shane Walker, 38, both of Pinal County, were two of three people arrested Feb. 27 after a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office investigation.
Robert A. Aucker, 29, of Gilbert, was also arrested. All three are suspected of using Craigslist to find a dog for the woman to have sex with, according to the sheriff's office.
The three are alleged to have contacted an undercover deputy for the services of a male golden retriever-German shepherd mix.
A sheriff's office spokesman said the Walkers described themselves as "swingers" who enjoy an "open marriage." Aucker told detectives he and Sarah Walker have had a sexual relationship for the last month and that she shared with him dreams of having sex with a dog.
Shane Walker is a flight attendant and Aucker a car salesman, according to a sheriff's office news release. The Walkers are Pinal County residents.
The arrests prompted Sheriff Joe Arpaio to issue a second warning to the head of Craigslist.
"You are essentially providing a platform for the propagation of unconscionable behavior," Arpaio said in a letter to CEO Jim Buckmaster.
Arpaio expressed his disapproval of Buckmaster for failing to make improvements in procedures the sheriff cited in his first letter sent to the CEO on March 15, 2011, after a similar arrest.
Arpaio has asked Buckmaster to re-evaluate his monitoring procedures and policies for the popular website.
The Walkers' next court appearance will be at 8:15 a.m. May 14.

Councils tell of child malnutrition work after Blackburn problems
2:00pm Sunday 6th April 2014 in News By Lawrence Dunhill, Health Reporter
TWO northern councils have outlined various initiatives they have introduced to reduce the number of children suffering from malnutrition.
As reported on Tuesday, health bosses in Blackburn with Darwen have pledged to investigate new data showing alarming levels of malnutrition in primary school children, after it was revealed the borough has the highest percentage of underweight children in England.
Oldham and Bradford, which have similar demographics to Blackburn with Darwen, had much lower percentages, so the Lancashire Telegraph asked their councils to detail the measures taken to combat the problem.
Oldham Council said one of its key successes has been its support for the Food for Life Programme, which aims to transform the food culture in schools through projects with local farms and food charities.
Oldham has been listed as a 'hotspot' for the programme, meaning most schools in the area take part.
A spokesman added there has also been an increase in visits to homes by NHS health visitors, while a new infant feeding strategy is set to be rolled out.
A Bradford Council spokesman said: "Child health is an important part of the public health strategy for Bradford and we work with our partners to ensure support is put in place early on to ensure babies get the best start in life possible.
"This includes ensuring mums-to-be have a healthy diet, supporting breastfeeding programmes and supporting families through health visitors and school nursing.
"Bradford is just launching a programme in schools identifying children who may benefit from free breakfast, lunch and cooking clubs to make dinner. This will include parental and community involvement."
Data obtained from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), which looked at the Body Mass Index (BMI) of year six children, showed 3.5 per cent were clinically underweight in Blackburn with Darwen in 2012/13.
The percentages in Oldham and Bradford were two per cent and 2.4 per cent respectively, while the national average was 1.3 per cent.
Health experts at Blackburn with Darwen Council are looking closely at the issue to 'understand the full range of causes'.
A spokesman said the council 'works with a number of agencies' to support overweight and underweight children, but said further details could not be provided in time for our deadline.

The Houston Texans are trying to find another wide receiver to compliment All Pro receiver Andre Johnson on their offense and depth at the running back position behind Arian Foster and Ben Tate. The Texans will work out one player at each position on Wednesday, according to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Former Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker is scheduled to work out Wednesday for the receiver-needy Houston Texans.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 29, 2012
Sims-Walker flashed some ability as a receiver with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being a third-round draft pick, but could never stay healthy or consistent. Sims-Walker signed with the St. Louis Rams last offseason but never fit in with their offense and was released, only to be re-signed by the Jaguars before tearing his ACL.
Justin Forsett stuck with the Seattle Seahawks for a while and was supposed to be an explosive change of pace back, but could never break out. Forsett has flashed some ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and return kicks in his NFL career.

News: Drake Reveals "Miss Me" Lil Wayne Collabo, Says "Afrika Bambaataa" Is Not His Song
Wednesday, Apr 7, 2010 10:15AM
Young Money's Drake has revealed that "Miss Me" is the title of his Thank Me Later collaboration with incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne.
Drake disputed previous reports that the song was called, "Afrika Bambaataa."
"That's actually a Lil Wayne song," he explained in an interview referring to "Afrika Bambaataa." "I don't know where that confusion came from. I was just on set that day when he was shooting that video. That's not even my song. I'm not even on it, to be honest with you. Me and Wayne have a song on my album -- a song called 'Miss Me.' It's a pretty straightforward [song]. It's a song about being away from what you love and hoping that when you're gone, doing you, somebody out there misses you. It goes for Wayne in his situation and it goes for me in my situation, 'cause I'm on the road for I don't how long right now." (MTV)
In February, Lil Wayne was shooting the video for "Afrika Bambaataa."
Lil Wayne's Shooting 7 More Videos: That's on top of the 10 he shot in two days the last time he thought he was going to jail. He says he just finished shooting the video for Runnin' off Rebirth that features Shanell and as of this video, he was about to shoot one for a Drake called "Afrika Boombata." (Nah Right)
Drake's duet with The-Dream leaked online last month.
A new song by Drake featuring The-Dream is leaked. Titled "Shut It Down", the piece is produced by Noah "40" Shebib and Omen who also co-produced Alicia Keys' duet track with Drake, "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)". The slow-jam song is reportedly not the final version but has been confirmed to be listed in the Canadian rapper's debut album "Thank Me Later". (Ace Show Biz)
His debut album is set to be released in June.
You'll now have to thank Drake a few weeks later than expected. The 23-year-old Canadian rapper/singer's long-awaited debut album, Thank Me Later, is now due to be released on June 15. (Neon Limelight)

Helping management control their business
Deloitte partner Neil Brown helps businesses strengthen their internal controls and processes
Internal auditors used to have the job of policing, tracking down employees who cheated on expense accounts. People weren't too happy to see them coming; every time they dropped by, someone got into trouble.
But the job of internal auditor has changed, says Neil Brown, a Toronto-based partner responsible for risk consulting and regulatory services. "Now there's a growing realization and acceptance that all of management has a responsibility for controlling the business, and the role of internal audit is to help them do that."
Internal audit is one of Brown's specialties. "My clients come to me to help them strengthen their internal controls and business processes," he says. Brown helped one broadcaster evaluate the risks of a new IT system. "The audit committee was concerned whether they were spending the money in the right areas. Was the project on track? Were they doing the right things? Would it compromise security?"
Then Brown looked at their business risks — such as the impact to the company if the project didn't get done on time and within budget. What was management doing to mitigate those risks to an acceptable level?
Taking a big-picture look at risk
On any project, Brown and his team take a risk-based approach: "We ask: What are the business risks the organization is facing? What is the priority of each one? What is management doing to mitigate those risks to an acceptable level?
"Our job is to go in and say, here are all the things you think you're doing to manage a risk in a particular part of your business — whether it's environmental, HR, or financial. We assess whether all the things they think they're doing are working, and whether people are doing all the things they are supposed to. Perhaps it could be done differently or more efficiently. Or perhaps it's not being doing at all."
One of Brown's skills is developing relationships with executives and listening to their concerns so that he can identify the critical problems they're facing and the points that trouble them most.
Plenty of issues worrying businesses today
Brown deals with a wide scope of issues and challenges. One of his clients supplies Wal-Mart and is struggling with the retail giant's requirements for the volume of supply and the terms of delivery. Brown says there are plenty of suppliers who share that challenge. His standard advice to them: "Make sure you understand their specific needs and pre-determine your pricing and margin structures. It's a volume business, so you need to be able to cope with the volume and deliver the volume they expect, with the level of support and service they expect."
Still another company needed help on controlling the payroll. They were concerned that someone may have taken advantage of a payroll system that wasn't watertight. Brown and his team were asked to review the documentation and determine if anything was awry.
Brown earned his bachelor of commerce from the University of Toronto and joined Arthur Andersen in 1985, first in the external audit practice, then on a two-year outsourcing assignment. He subsequently built Andersen's outsourcing practice in Toronto and became partner in 1996. He joined Deloitte when the two firms merged in June 2002. He's a frequent guest speaker on topics related to strategic outsourcing, internal audit best practices, business self-assessment and integrated business risk management.
As the Deloitte partner in charge of risk consulting and regulatory services in the GTA, Brown deals with clients' senior management and audit committees on concerns like internal audit, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to deter corporate wrongdoings, and environmental health and safety.
"When you've got a good relationship, you're in a position of trust," said Brown. "They know when they pick up the phone, we're going to deliver."

Aotearoa Indymedia aims to be a space where people feel inspired to read, write and comment on news and events happening across Aotearoa (and the rest of the world). In order to fulfill this aim, the Aotearoa Indymedia Editorial Collective is empowered to enact the Editorial Policy, which mainly means hiding spam, abusive and duplicate posts and comments and cleaning up the newswire (ie – via moving local posts from the elsewhere newswire if they are posted in the wrong place, or fixing up the formatting of posts when requested by the author).
The Editorial Collective also writes most of the feature articles (the ones in the centre column, like this), sometimes from scratch and sometimes via collating articles from the newswire (or a mix of both!)
Prior to the Police raids of October 15th, the editorial collective had three main editors – all had been editing for some time and so were experienced with what needs to be done. These three did much of the work on Aotearoa Indymedia, helped by the rest of the editorial collective (some of whom have less-regular internet access, others of whom are new, still others who have many projects they are involved in for whom Indymedia takes a low priority). During the raids, two out of those three editors were arrested, and both are currently being held in Auckland Central Remand Prison. As the only one of those three left, I have endeavoured (with help!) to keep Aotearoa Indymedia as up to date as possible with information on the raids and protests, but there are limits to how much an increasingly small collective can do.
Now, perhaps more than ever since Aotearoa Indymedia began, we need your help. If you are interested in taking an active role in the Aotearoa Indymedia Editorial Collective, then please email imc-aotearoa-ed (at) lists.indymedia.org. The process for joining the Collective can be read here.
If you spot a duplicate, spam, troll or abusive post, please DO NOT reply to it, but rather email imc-aotearoa-ed (at) lists.indymedia.org with the URL and the reason you think it should be hidden, and I or one of the other editors will attend to it as soon as possible. You can also frequently find some of us on the global Indymedia IRC server, which is also being used as a regular updating space on the current raids/hearings for Indymedia folks from all over the world.
In solidarity,
Asher, (Aotearoa Indymedia Editorial Collective)

Be reminded about this event
Thursday Evening Hours
Open Thursdays until 9 p.m., sponsored by Constellation Energy.
Listen to Marc Steiner's recent interview with Sonya Clark on the Center for Emerging Media podcast
Tools used to groom, primp, preen, and adorn the body provide a wealth of information about cultural notions of beauty and aesthetics, hygiene and civilized behavior. This exhibition will feature approximately 20 works of sculpture, beadwork, photography, and video art by contemporary artist Sonya Clark in tandem with selected objects from the collection of the Walters Art Museum. All will express in their creative process and/or material composition a relationship with shifting—often highly subjective—notions of beauty. Expressing her concern for the function of art and objects in material culture, Clark creates works that engage the organic life of the object, as well as her concerns for its heritage and legacy. Born in Washington, DC, Sonya Clark was a longtime Baltimore resident. She is currently Chair of Craft and Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.

'Poetry Speaks To Children'
Hear this
Explore this
Reported by
Melissa Block
If you're an adult, Poetry Speaks to Children may bring back memories of what it felt like to be little, when reading and language were an enchanting discovery.
If you're small — maybe still a bit young to read poetry — the new collection of nearly 100 poems does exactly what the title implies: a CD included with the book features many of the 73 authors reading their work.
The poets include Emily Dickinson ("Letter to Bee"), Carl Sandburg ("On a Flimmering Floom You Shall Ride"), Langston Hughes ("The Negro Speaks of Rivers") and J.R.R. Tolkien ("Frodo's Song in Bree").
The book is designed to be read by children 6 years and older. But Elise Paschen, a poet herself and the book's editor, says it appeals to kids as young as 2. "And not only that, it really appeals to adults. I think that you can read these poems on all levels."

Climbs up a steep limestone arete following 4 pitches. The rock is sparsely featured, allowing face climbing but with very little in the way of natural pro, hence the bolts. A safe, fun outing with great exposure and cool rock. This climb is an area classic, despite of the fact that it is the only route in the area.
Second fin from the right on the Ferris limestone. Approach from highway 287 southwest of Muddy Gap. Almost exactly at mile marker 36, turn off on a dirt road toward the cliffs. There are 2 black mailboxes and a yellow 55 gallon drum at this turn. Drive right by a ranch house (don't worry, it's a public road) and continue to the right. Keep to the right when you have the choice for about 3 miles until you come to a small pond. Turn left here and drive up a poor road for about another 2.5 miles until it dead ends at the foothills of the Ferris. From here navigate up and to your right on foot. The walking approach is about 45 minutes to an hour.
All bolts, take about 16 and you will be fine.

Panjwani speaks on implications of drawing on Islamic scholarship
January 19, 2012
Dr Farid Panjwani, faculty member at AKU-ISMC, recently spoke at a workshop organised by the Dubai campus of the Islamic Azad University of Iran. The workshop focused on 'Educational implications of past Islamic scholarship for the present challenges of higher education' and was held in December 2011. Around 15 scholars attended the workshop, representing countries from all around the world.
Dr Panjwani's paper was entitled "Potentials and limits of drawing educational implications from Islamic scholarship". The paper had two parts. The first part offered some reflections regarding the differences between 'medieval' Muslim scholarship and modern higher education. In particular, Dr Panjwani focused on the question of epistemological assumptions.
The second part of the paper examined the role of doubt and scepticism in Muslim intellectual history, thereby contributing to an understanding of the nature of knowledge (ilm) in Muslim civilisations.
Just as the practice of journeying in search for knowledge (rihlat talab al-'ilm) was indicative of the spirit of learning in early Muslim intellectual history, so Dr Panjwani called for higher education, particularly in the Muslim world, to reclaim a passion for learning, intellectual scepticism and the consequent provisionality of truth claims.
The Islamic Azad University of Iran is the world's third largest university with 1.5 million students. It has branches in many countries, including the U.A.E. branch in Dubai.

Spinning the Learning Curve
After a decade of furious growth, educational DVDs for preschoolers continue to be of high value to parents. What's more, there's no sign that that growth is slowing: If you think it is, just look at retailers' shelves, which are stocked with such educational brand names as Baby Einstein, Baby Genius and more.
Academics may not disagree that the trend continues to grow, but they do have a different appraisal of its actual worth.
"The American Academy of Pediatrics says that any TV before the age of three really doesn't cut it, that kids should be outside the house exploring," says Kathryn A. Hirsch-Pasek, a professor of psychology at Temple University in Philadelphia. "From a development point of view, there isn't any evidence that they're learning from TV or DVDs."
Pasek and others blame entertainment marketers for making parents fear that their kids are behind academically. "We artificially inflate goals that just can't be reached," she says.
Other industry professionals see it differently -- and are even backing new educational ventures themselves.
One of these projects, "Phonics 4 Babies," is the brainchild of Mallory Lewis. The daughter of famed children's entertainer Shari Lewis, who delighted generations of kids with her winsome hand puppet "Lamb Chop," Mallory Lewis has developed a program of vocabulary- and language-development skills for children aged 6-36 months.
"Our children require more education," says Lewis. "We need to prepare our kids for preschool. They need to be smarter sooner. Many kids in the U.S. don't speak English as their first language. You can't function without it."
Dr. Karen Kovacs North, a Los Angeles-based clinical psychologist who served as a consultant on "Phonics 4 Babies," believes preschool DVDs have a place in the fast-moving lives of modern parents. "The best thing for your child is real-life human interaction," she says. "But in reality you can't interact all the time -- especially if you are a working parent or a tired parent."
In that regard, she says, DVDs are better than TV. "It's better to raise kids on DVDs than on TV," she says. "DVDs have a definite ending, as opposed to TV programs." This gives parents better control, she says, because they can fast-forward through scenes they don't like and watch scenes they do like over again.
Still, other parents' groups say moms and dads need to be leery of the claims made by educational DVD producers.
"While occasional exposure to infant DVDs may be fine for a quick wrangling of the laundry, parents should not abdicate their role as baby's first teacher to 'educational' DVDs, no matter what the manufacturer claims," says Claire Green, president of Parents' Choice Foundation. "Each year [we] review hundreds of DVDs produced for children. Frequently, those claiming to boost an infant's intellectual competency are not much more than eye candy."
In the last decade there has been an explosion of preschool DVDs. The first was Baby Einstein, followed quickly by competitors Baby Bumblebee, Baby Genius, Amazing Baby, and Brainy Baby. Jocelyn Longworth, editor of KidsScreen Magazine, says although sales may have plateaued somewhat, "It is still a fairly healthy market."
While Temple University's Hirsch-Pasek believes DVDs and TV are, in general, educationally empty, that doesn't mean that they're harmful. As a matter of fact, she recommends the Disney Channel's new "Johnny and The Sprites" live-action music and entertainment show.
"There are some exceptional products," she says. "But parents need to use them sparingly. Disney Channel's 'Johnny and the Sprites' is great. Some of the songs are really good."
The end result is that parent entertainment groups advise moms and dads to do a lot of homework. Says Green, "Read between the lines of the advertisements for 'educational' videos developed for infants; pay attention to current research; but most of all, pay attention to your child. That's where the learning -- and the fun -- begins."

(ABC | MTV | CBS | Syfy | CW | PBS; Art by Zimbio)Long live TV love! Fans came out in droves to vote for their favorite small screen duos in Round 2 of our TV Couples March Madness Challenge, and no…
For those looking for a good, easy way to vote (perfect for tablets!) apparently with this link you only have to vote and refresh to vote again without erasing cookies and whatnot, so really easy to vote!
For those not so sure about those votes counting use TOR browser and instead of refreshing get a "new identity" (new IP) and then vote again! For this option better bookmark the page for easy access with every new identity.
Good luck all. And for Rumbellers remember there's some seriously long Bad Faery fic at stake. I'll add my own contribution a 5,000 - 10,000 fic of your choice amongst a small selection of prompts if we win.
That's 2 fics just for some voting! It's the best deal you'll ever make, dearies.
Real life has decided to allow me a break so I find myself with a lot of free time (even more next week cause I'm off work). I've decided to subtly tone up that twitter campaign I've started to let Adam know what I love and want to see more of: Belle.
It's all positive. I tweet as if it's a given that we're going to see a lot of Belle and I just can't wait because that's the best idea ever. So I tweet: "So excited about all the Belle we're going to get in season 3!" or "So glad it's not all about Snow and Charming, as nice as they are, but also about Belle!".
I make the assumption that Belle is going to be a true core character and then sort of congratulate them on it because I think it's the best idea ever and Belle the best character in the series and I'm just in love with it all.
I don't do it every day, lest it be suspicious, but I do it every now and then, taking care to be super positive and sound really, really excited about Emilie and Belle and Rumbelle (but mainly Belle). I mention that my favourite episode was The Outsider, that Skin Deep made me keep watching and that it was really clever of them to include more Belle in season 3.
If anyone wants to do this too please do! It'd help tremendously. Assume away that we're gonna get more Belle and just gush about what a fucking great idea that is and how you're watching excitedly, eager to see it happen.
Maybe some subtle prodding will work.
He wakes up everyday at 6 am, even though his shop doesn't open until 10, just to see her smiling face.
He imagines instead of saying "Good Morning Storybrooke," she is talking to him and him alone.
He picks up the books she recommends and cooks the recipes she tries out. He sees her in town, but can never does more than just nod his head. He doesn't want to ruin his illusion of her. He doesn't want to let it slip away.
Apparently Belle hasn't finished Romeo & Juliet yet….
I can see her after she finishes: "Thank God Rumple is old as dirt."
Oh, you poor summer child. We've all been there. Just let it all out.
Part one can be found HERE.
Started as a prompt.
"Would you love a monsterman ? Could you understand the beauty of the beast ?"
Circus Rumbelle. Child Belle / Monster Man Rumple.
It was later in the day than Belle would have liked as she arrived at the open field where the circus was set up - but it had been a couple miles she'd walked to get here. Her mom wouldn't bring her again - had said that one trip to the circus was enough. Nothing could persuade her. Not even Belle's promise to not complain about cleaning her room for a year. So Belle ran away.
She had to.
She'd made a promise to the Golden Man. (She didn't know his name, and refused to call him Monster, even in her head.) Sure, he hadn't believed her when she said she'd come back - but that just made her want to keep her promise even more.
Belle snuck into the park, near a place where the trailers for the circus performers met the woods. She was used to sneaking around, and small enough that no one noticed. She would have paid to get in if she could. Clearing the trailers there was no longer a need to hide as she joined the main crowd of attendees.
Remembering her path from the day before, it only took Belle a few minutes to locate the tent. She looked up.
The lettering was harsh, in bright red, with the words "Monster" looking as though they were dripping with blood. It should have been gold lettering - maybe with a more flourished style. It didn't fit him at all.
She took one of her remaining dollars and handed it to the same attendant from yesterday, who no longer looked bored. He gave her a nod of acknowledgement as he accepted her payment.
"Back again, eh?"
She nodded silently, not sure what else to say.
"Well, be careful with that one - he might not seem so, but he's very dangerous. Don't go near the bars."
"I'll be careful, Sir." Belle widened her eyes a bit, trying to put on her best unassuming face.
He eyed her skeptically. "See that you are." He snapped the dollar between his hands before putting it carefully away and waving her inside.
It was slightly darker in the tent than yesterday, given the hour. It hadn't quite started to grow dark outside, but would begin to soon.
"Hello?" she whispered into the shadows as she approached the cage. She kept her voice low, aware of the attendant (guard?) just outside.
"Well, well." a voice drifted out of the dark. "So you did return." he sounded genuinely surprised.
"I said I would." She tossed her hair, as though this was something she did every day.
He moved towards the bars, wrapping his hands around them. "Why did you come back?"
"I wanted to talk to you again." she confessed. "And, you said if I brought you something to trade - you'd let me touch you."
"I didn't say that, little one. You did."
Belle brew a breath out, causing the hair near her face to float briefly. "Don't you at least want to see what I have?"
He remained still, saying nothing. Belle reached into her pockets. She'd spent all last night raiding her collections, trying to find the best things. Yet - he'd already taken her most precious possession yesterday, and Belle could find nothing to match it. Maybe if she put on a brave face, he would believe these things were important.
"I was in the woods one day, and found a stone that had the shape of a fish on it." she pulled the stone out, her mom had told her it was a fossil. "It's…millions of years old. Way older than you."
"All rocks are millions of years old, dearie."
"This one has the shape of an ancient creature, though." she knew there was a slight whine to her voice.
She screwed up her courage, and forced a smile. "Ok, then - how about this flower?" she pulled a cloth out, unfolding it to reveal a pressed blue violet. It was a unique color, and once it began to wilt Belle had kept it instead of leaving it to rot on the forest floor.
He tilted his head slightly, as though considering.
"A candy bar?" she knew she sounded pleading.
"No, Thank you." his voice was once again mocking. He seemed to do that a lot. "Don't you have anything you truly treasure?"
"The most important thing I have you took yesterday." she said, frowning. He was silent a few moments.
"There is something you can give me. A very important thing. Something that would signify everything about you."
"What?" she asked, excited "Name it."
He giggled, his voice high pitched. "Spot on, little one. Your name. I want your name."
She furrowed her brow, confused. "It's Belle. Belle Marie French."
"Belle." he said her name slowly. "A beautiful name."
Belle found she was blushing, despite herself. Her mom had told her what her name meant, but she was a 'tom boy' - she tromped around in the forest and always came home covered in dirt. Nobody ever said anything about her was beautiful. Nobody except her parents. And everyone knew that didn't count.
"It's just a name. I would have told you if you'd asked."
"Oh, but this is so much better, you see?"
"I don't see." She still didn't know his name.
"We've made a deal. You gave me your name in trade, and that gives it power. Magic."
"You can use your magic in there?"
"No, but these are only temporary accommodations" He said, his hand gesturing.
"So, you have a plan to get out?" She crept closer to the cage.
"I'm working on it." His tone was unhappy.
"What's your name?"
"You don't have anything else to give me for that information, Belle." He emphasized her name, highlighting the fact that he now possessed something she didn't.
Belle frowned. "You're not very good at having friends, are you? You can't just always demand things in return all the time. Especially names."
"Oh?" He asked, sounding interested. "We must not be friends, then. I don't recall that you've parted with anything for free just yet, either."
She moved a bit closer, now at the line of hay bales. She perched on the edge of one. She chewed on her bottom lip, considering.
"If you won't give me your name, then… I'll just call you Mr.Gold." she nodded more to herself than him. It was a good name.
"I've certainly been called worse."
"Mr.Gold…" she began, and stood.
"Monster!" A harsh female voice sounded from behind her, and Belle jumped, turning around. A woman with short black hair, dressed in a short, dark dress with severe red lipstick strode in. Belle took a step away from her, towards the cage, but the woman's eyes landed on her. Belle tried to hold her gaze and not flinch.
"Well, hello little girl." The woman bend over slightly, and smiled at her. It made Belle's skin crawl.
"Are you enjoying the circus?" She tilted her head.
Belle glanced over at Mr.Gold. He remained unmoving, sitting close to the bars as he was before. She looked back at the woman.
The woman followed her glance over to the man in the cage. "Oh, don't let him scare you. He is a dangerous monster, but we have him locked up nice and tight." She might have been imagineing it, but Belle could almost feel loathing roll off Mr. Gold behind her for the woman.
"Still" she continued "It's dangerous to talk to him. He's a sneaky monster." she cocked her head slightly. "You didn't tell him anything about yourself or give him anything, did you?"
Belle shook her head. "No, ma'am."
The woman smiled. "Good. Are your parents around?" she looked around the room, as though they were hiding in the corner.
"They let me come to the circus on my own."
"Well - it's actually against the rules for children to be here unaccompanied." Belle didn't remember reading any signs that said that. "Come with me, and we'll get you home safely." She held out her hand towards her.
Belle eyed the offered hand, and glanced back up at her eyes. "Who are you?"
"Oh, she's the steward here." Mr. Gold's voice piped up for the first time since the woman entered the room.
The woman sent him an annoyed glance. "I am owner and manager of this circus."
"Owner is it? And why don't you tell us how you went about obtaining it Re-gin-a?" he was being more scathing now than at any time Belle had heard him.
"I don't need to engage in conversation with our attractions." she sneered, lifting her head slightly. She was quite literally looking down her nose at Mr. Gold.
"And yet here you are." He sounded delighted. "Tell me Regina, did your guard dog outside alert you to the fact I had a visitor?"
"He told me he saw an unaccompanied child, yes." No one had reported anything yesterday.
"She doesn't like it when I have repeat customers." he said, directing his response towards Belle. "Suspects I might use them to plan an escape. She'd close this tent, but it amuses her too much to know that I'm now just an attraction." He giggled.
"Come along, girl." the woman named Regina said again, ignoring Mr. Gold's comment, but clearly irritated. She held out her hand again, and Belle couldn't think of a way to refuse taking it. She slipped her own hand inside.
Walking out with Regina, Belle took one last look towards Mr. Gold as he watched them leave. She would come back, no matter what.
I love, love, love this to pieces. The potential. The interactions. Everyone so in character. I'm hugging my laptop to my bosom, which is the closest I can get to gathering this fic into my arms.
I don't get this. Because, on the one hand, the confession is admitting that Rumbelle is super popular, which means that it recognizes that there is loads of chemistry and people really enjoy it but on the other it's saying: It would be even more popular with anyone other than Emilie de Ravin. It's as if the OP thought that Rumbelle would've worked no matter what, to the point that even Emilie could get it to work. Baffled.
I got this ask yesterday at night and it got me thinking about a lot of stuff, so I decided to make it into a tiny little meta about what I feel is going on with Belle, Rumbelle, the producers and Jane Espenson.
Under the Read More for length.
Title: Relief
Word Count: 1,057
Summary: Gold has to find some way to relieve his tension after a particularly frustrating appointment with Dr. French.
A/N: Smut is apparently a sickness, so after the RMC unanimously decided that wanking was one of our favorite things to read, I decided this piece that was edited out of Alternative Treatments deserved to see the light of day.This is obviously set during the early days of their appointments, before exam room sex happens.
May this smut help to soothe your poor
chippedbroken hearts.
This was lovely, Raven.
Summary: Post The Outsider. An amnesiac Belle finds herself spending more and more time with a skittish but determined Mr Gold while acclimating to her life. And even if she keeps him at arm's length there are moments were she cannot help but let her guard down.
RMC prompt: Foot rub. Basically "Amnesiac!Belle is aroused by Gold giving her a foot rub, and deeply embarrassed by it."
Rating: R
Title: Alternative Treatments
Word Count: 3,010
Summary: Physical therapists were supposed to be big, hulking, obnoxious men not smiling brunettes with gorgeous legs and eyes so blue they practically glowed in the dark.
A/N: You can thank Lost and Straggle for this smutty little piece. It took me a while to get there, but you finally get physical therapist!Belle and patient!Gold. (I also stole some names because at 3 a.m you just don't care anymore)
… and is this your first smut? I can't recall but if it is I feel like I should give you a hug and say something along the lines of "MY BB IS A WOMAN NOW!" It was fantastic, nice pacing, nice wording, awesome in general.
Seriously, why is everyone already accusing the Charmings of being rude to Belle and Rumpelstiltskin, especially the latter? Why is everyone automatically accusing them of accusing Rumpelstiltskin of hurting Belle?
Prince Charming himself was the one that saved Belle in The Crocodile. Without him , Rumpelstiltskin would never have found Belle. Even when the whole town was unwilling to help Rumpelstitlskin, after all he has done, Prince Charming was still willing to help Rumpelstiltskin find his True Love because he knows what it to be separated from the ones that you love.
Nor have the Charming Family ever been openly hostile to Belle. They never shunned her or spoken any cruel words towards her.
Yeah, I really don't understand where this is all coming from. Charming helped Rumple find Belle and he saw how much he cares about her. He knows all about true love.
I don't know how Snow will react at the accident scene, since she doesn't really know much about the relationship or Belle. Maybe Charming clued her in? If she doesn't know about Rumbelle, then I can see her worrying that Rumple did something to Belle. You can't blame her for that if she has no idea what's going on with them.
I think people way overreacted to the scene in The Cricket Game. The Charmings were not being rude to Belle. They didn't stop by for idle chit chat, they were in a hurry to solve the Archie mystery. Emma and Snow had no idea who she was.
They were abrupt, yes, but as you do point out major crime to solve, no time really to be polite and observe all sorts of niceties. They were, however, incredibly rude to Gold, coming over with no evidence whatsoever into his personal domain, accusing him of murder (even though they are actually trying to have an open mind regarding the other "evil person" in town, even though EVERY piece of evidence points towards her), accusing him of murder and framing and then demanding that he prove himself he didn't do it. I get that he was the obvious second choice for suspect, but they jumped from "he might have done it" to "you did it" pretty fast. They just sort of ignored Belle but, as pointed out, bigger picture, people. I can understand they are not only busy with something major but also still shocked and distraught at the death of their friend.
This is me trying to goad thestraggletag into writing smutty goodness because of this. Let's all cross our fingers and hope it works.
And I couldn't even listen to the audio! But I really hope that this works because it's OUAT sunday and we may need the smutty serotonin high to deal with this episode, so…
We do realize this right?
Oh, they'll probably go: "No, it's not, he didn't kill her. And besides, it wasn't like she was Hook's wife, that'd be much worse."
Nevermind that Hook didn't kill Belle only to make Rumplestiltskin suffer more and that Belle saved Hooks life hours before he completely fucked her over.
Oh, and sorry for the language. I foresee some really creepy fandom conversations and it just rubs me the wrong way.

Ease of access, variety of terrain, length and position combine to create a singular route. Among the best, if not THE best, ice climb in the Canadian Rockies.
The route is 27km north of the David Thompson Highway (Hwy 11). Park just before crossing a small bridge over the drainage . Follow the well-marked trail up the drainage to the base of the first ice. At this point, if snow conditions allow, climb up a steep slope on the left for several hundred meters, and then make an exposed traverse (avi hazard) right to the base of the first WI4 pitch. Otherwise, climb ice and snow up the gully to the base of the WI4 pitch.
Ice screws . . . all the way. Bolted stations exist but can be hard to find on the lower pitches. Bring cord for v-threads.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — The essay and short-answer portions of the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress — better known as ISTEP — will take place March 3 through March 21 — thankfully.
The State Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to extend the testing period because heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures have forced many school districts to cancel school several times. Kokomo students have missed a week and a half of class.
Ensure your children eat breakfast before heading off to school; make sure they get plenty of rest each week — and particularly these next three weeks as they prepare for the exams. Why? Parental involvement is a powerful indicator of a student's academic performance.
At least 15 studies dating back as far as 1980 suggest children of parents who volunteer at school, check homework and talk to teachers score higher on standardized tests or earn better grades than their peers.
Over the last three decades, education has become a key political issue on the national scene. Taxpayers, as well as the Indiana Legislature, are demanding public schools spend tax money more efficiently. Parents are demanding schools better prepare their children for college or the workplace.
And the federal government has the same set of demands. Since Jimmy Carter established the U.S. Department of Education, schools have been a constant presidential campaign theme.
In short, local school corporations will continue to be required to meet ever-increasing state and national education standards. Indiana, for example, designed the ISTEP-Plus standards and exams to make students more accountable for their education, and teachers and school systems more accountable for providing that education.
Expectations for student achievement will not be lowered; they only will increase. And the best way to meet those expectations is for parents to get involved in their children's education.
Ask your children whether they have homework and ensure they complete it. Attend parent-teacher conferences. Volunteer at school. You can chaperon a field trip or dance, and assist school employees running extracurricular activities.
Your children and their teachers need your help.

Part that matters:
For his part, Woodson has moved on, interviewing for the Minnesota Timberwolves' vacancy. And a source indicates he'll be in New York early this week to talk with the Knicks about becoming their defensive coordinator, a job that management has mandated coach Mike D'Antoni, entering the final year of his contract, accept for next season.

I like the idea. Woodson is probably the biggest name/ most well-known guy left, whether that means he's the best is different though. I think he should be able to succeed in the "Thibs/Frank" role because he's a smart guy, but has troubles when it comes to offense, that's why he makes to be a good assistant. I'm just glad to here that we're definitely hiring a defensive assistant and Woodson would be a guy to demand some respect from D'Antoni and the players. The way I see it, Woodson is like a worse version of Mike Brown and a little worse than Lawrence Frank. Not bad though.

The top of these bars completely crumbled and came off when cutting. They are very tasty, but they don't resemble the picture. The picture looks like coconut was sprinkled on top after they came out of the oven.

Very yummy!!

Quick and easy to make. We cut the sugar for the topping in half and had no trouble with the squares holding together. After baking we dusted the top lightly with cinnamon, which made a big difference in our overall satisfaction with this dessert.

Shiomibashi Station
Shiomibashi Station having lost the function as the terminal depends on advancement and Koya railway of Koya Line having amalgamated with Nankai electric railway. The tie line from Koya Line to the Nankai Line Namba district is set up in Kishinosato Station (present Kishinosato-Tamade Station). Most trains of the Koya Line are changed to Nankai Namba Station arrival and departure that was near the center part in Osaka at this time, and, as a result, it can be said that the function as the door entrance of Shiomibashi Station was lost in 1925.

A normal winter Sunday scene if you walk from Namba station to Shinsaibashi station. Here you can see...
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Luwane Pipkins was out of breath but he found just enough energy for a final push.
The 5-10 Bogan star sophomore guard scored eight of his game-high 17 points in the fourth quarter and made the two game-clinching plays as No. 23 Bogan survived Peoria Manual 59-55 in the Bob Hambric Coaches Against Cancer Shootout at T.F. North in Calumet City Sunday.
Pipkins grabbed a loose ball and drove coast to coast to break the game's final tie at 55 with just over three minutes remaining. He secured the victory with just under a minute to play. He alertly stole the ball and threw a perfect outlet pass to his streaking teammate Juwan Henry for the clinching score with 40 seconds remaining.
"Manual was setting a lot of back screens the whole game, and I saw that, jumped around the screen and got the ball," Pipkins said. "I saw Juwan the whole time and I had just enough strength and energy to get out to him on the break."
Henry scored 15 points to help support the Bengals.
Bogan (11-6) was coming off a disappointing loss at a shootout in Milwaukee the day before. Pipkins scored seven points in the first quarter and then was held scoreless until late in the third quarter when he drilled a 19-footer from the right wing that helped Bogan enter the fourth quarter tied at 45.
He opened the fourth quarter with a beautiful step back jumper for a 47-45 Bogan advantage. After Manual answered, Pipkins penetrated and found sophomore Antonio Thomas underneath for a layup. "I was just trying to get my big guys involved and take some of the pressure of the guards," he said.
Bogan's quickness and pressure forced 30 Manual turnovers though the Bengals could never quite pull away. "We started off kind of slow and sluggish and it took us a while to get going," Henry said. "Our bench gave us a huge boost and energy lift. They were really the difference."
Junior Dontrell Whitaker contributed seven points and six rebounds. Senior Samuel Robinson made two crucial free throws in the fourth quarter.
Kashmiere Hughes, a 6-6 senior forward, scored 15 points to lead the Rams (13-4).

News: Kendrick Lamar's Pal & Joey Bada$$ Busted, Handcuffed Over Police Racism? [Video]
Tuesday, Oct 29, 2013 10:46AM
Top Dog Entertainment's Ab-Soul and rap newcomer Joey Bada$$ are making headlines this week as a result of reportedly being arrested during their nationwide tour in St. Louis last night (October 28).
Details of the arrests started to make rounds across the Internet early Tuesday (October 29).
Rappers Joey Bada$$ and Ab-Soul were arrested by police during their St. Louis, MO stop on the Smokers Club Tour Monday night (Oct. 28). Several members of Joey's Pro Era crew were also placed under arrest. Little details are known beyond a video posted to Instagram (above) showing officials handcuffing the tourmates with Bada$$ laughing, telling one cop, "Have you figured out why I'm in these handcuffs? Have you figured it out? Yo, they don't know why I'm in these handcuffs." The cause of their arrest is allegedly marijuana-related. (VIBE)
Boston producer Statik Selektah commented on the incident via his Twitter page Tuesday morning.
UPDATE: Statik Selektah, Joey's tour DJ, has provided fans an update in light of the recent arrest. Statik tweeted that nobody is currently in custody, but that last night's incident was caused by "typical police racism." He added that the show would go on tonight in St. Louis. "St. Louis For the record no one is in jail right now and the show goes on tonight. Typical police racism tho ... re: @ComplexMag @HHNMblog" (Complex)
Selektah also issued a formal statement to simmer down the online chatter and speculation.
"No one is in jail," Statik Selektah said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX today (October 29). "The cops were profiling because Joey and Ab were walking through the hotel parking lot to the bus. I was inside the hotel working when it happened, but by the time I came out, the cops were gone and the hotel security told me how it was bullsh*T." Statik was asked if Soul and Bada$$ were taken to the police station. "Naw," Statik said. "The cops felt dumb as fuck after they realized they were f*cking up. [It was] basically profiling gone wrong. They saw the tour bus, passports, etcetera." (HHDX)

With the Sandy Hook tragedy still fresh for many, the Hillsborough County School board made a tough decision Tuesday not to increase security at elementary schools.
They voted down a plan that would have spent millions for more security personnel at every elementary campus. But they will pay a consultant $8,500 dollars to come in and take a look at what needs to change.
"I don't want to make any decision out of fear," said April Griffin, the board's chairwoman. "I understand that people want answers now. But we need to discuss this in a very comprehensive way … looking at all of our school safety from every single aspect that we can."
Board members said putting an additional 130 security guards or officers on campuses would come with a hefty price tag.
"The money is a huge issue," said board member Cindy Stuart. "Federal and state funds … while they may come for this … they are going to run out: $4.3 million dollars continuously in our budget. In 3 years are we going to be asking to fire 130 security officers?"
The Hillsborough Co. Sheriff's Office and Tampa Police put more people at elementary schools after the shooting. This measure would've made more guards a permanent fixture. But only one board member seemed totally on-board with the Superintendent's deal on the table.
"We can never put a price tag on the lives of our students or our employees," said Doretha Edgecomb. "In the words of a sister of one of the young victims of Newtown … this is a new normal and regrettably this is the world in which we live so it does call for different measures."
Most, like Griffin, questioned if this was the right path.
"There were two officers at Columbine," she said. "Criminals are smart. They know how to work around. There were secure doors at Sandy Hook. The gunman blew them up with his weapons."
There are still officers on campus: SROs at high schools and middle schools. Plus, there will be extra patrols at elementary schools until the end of the semester at least.

In the server package #0 (server alert) I send no anchors within the <Alert>. This is the way PC sync programs that come with the phone do.
Phone client responds with package #1 with an <Alert> with the clients anchors.
Server sends package #2 with another <Alert> with the servers anchors.
Since the server has stored a copy of the clients last anchor, it can between package #1 and #2 compare and see if the server does not match with the client. When it does not match, it is in my case because my server has been reset, the storage has been cleaned including storage of the clients last anchor. Or the server just wants a refresh of the clients storage.
I think I have to settle with just changing my <Source> within <SyncHdr> for now. It does the job (but not nice looking :-) )
I will of course let you all know if I manage with my refresh with Nokia phones. SonyEricsson works fine, they only crashed when I by mistake sent some packet sized 20k or something filled with random data...
Another question to everybody, can pictures that are attached with vCards in a phone be retreieved by using SyncML?
