We strongly encourage the highest level of commitment, consistency and timeliness to most greatly benefit your child in their growth and development of their training, but we do understand that there are circumstances where missing class is inevitable. We try every year to make our policy as fair as possible, pertaining to the number of make-ups per child. Please read details below and don't hesitate to call if you have questions or would like to schedule your child's make-ups. 212-749-1165
Holiday Make-Up Classes
We invite and encourage every student to try any class of their choice during their current semester in order to make up for classes missed during the scheduled holidays. We allow two holiday make up classes per child per semester, which is in addition to any sick day or other absences they might have.
We are sorry, but make-ups do not roll into the following semester of classes. Scheduling make-up classes earlier rather than later is always suggested! So please call the office to schedule make-ups as soon as possible!
Absences/Sick days
Maximum (sick day) absences to make up per semester (in addition to the holiday make-ups), is two. Please call ahead and let us know if your child will not be attending the class. If your child is absent for more than two weeks in a row, we will call you to follow up on their current status. Too many absences could result in them not being included in our lovely June Showcase! So please don't miss! If your child is injured, they are welcome to come and observe the classes.

We hemmed and hawed on whether or not to book our 10-night stay at the Westin Resort & Spa in Puerto Vallarta based on some of the other reviews on this site. But we got a pretty good deal on the newly established "all-inclusive" package so decided to give it a go anyway. We had relatively low expectations, but were SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! From the moment we arrived and were greeted with "welcome home" by the doorman, to the day we left, we had nothing but impeccable service by the incredibly warm and friendly staff. They quickly learned my partner's and my names and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and very well taken care of. We can't wait to return!
The hotel itself was clean and well maintained. We didn't experience any of the issues we read about in the other reviews. We understand it's not a brand new resort, but it certainly didn't strike us as being run down or in bad need of repair. The staff clearly took pride in their work and did their utmost to make it a beautiful and appealing destination...
A special shout-out thank you to Roberto, Jesus, and the lady who handed out towels at the pool every day. They all three, along with the rest of the crew, made it a truly wonderful vacation for us!!!

These illustrations are based on a poem (below) that I learned in school called The Listeners by Walter de la Mare. I always loved the sense of mystery and unreality that he was able to create, and the fact that the story was so open to interpretation. Why has the traveller returned, and who is he calling out to?
The project was exhibited at the Love/Illustrate exhibition in Temple Bar, Dublin recently.
The Listeners
by Walter de la Mare
Is there anybody there?' said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest's ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret,
Above the Traveller's head:
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
'Is there anybody there?' he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
No head from the leaf-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men:
Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,
That goes down to the empty hall,
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
By the lonely Traveller's call.
And he felt in his heart their strangeness,
Their stillness answering his cry,
While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf,
'Neath the starred and leafy sky;
For he suddenly smote on the door, even
Louder, and lifted his head:—
'Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word,' he said.
Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
From the one man left awake:
Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,
And the sound of iron on stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward,
When the plunging hoofs were gone.
Thank You!

Short-term outlook for Asia's vehicle markets
The Asian (excluding Japan) vehicle market has now bounced back from the devastation to demand that followed the financial crisis that spread across the region in 1997. New vehicle demand across the region this year is forecast to be some 50% ahead of 1998's nadir. However, prospects in the countries of the region vary widely with some markets currently looking more subdued or even in reverse. Tony Pugliese looks at the prospects for demand in the national markets of the region and presents forecasts for vehicle demand out to 2005.

Scott County poll workers found three cases of attempted voter fraud as they prevented illegal ballots from being cast in the presidential election, auditor Roxanna Moritz reported Wednesday.
The Scott County Board of Supervisors voted to accept the election results at Wednesday's canvass, making them official. The attempted voter fraud cases will be turned over to the the Scott County Attorney's Office for investigation.
The Nov. 6 election drew 90,503 ballots, compared with 59,459 ballots cast in Scott County in the 1972 presidential election and 86,745 in the 2008 election. No results or outcomes changed at the canvass.
Rock Island County will canvass election results on Nov. 26.
The attempted fraud included two cases where absentee mail-in ballots were cast, then the voters attempted to vote at satellite polling places a few days later. In the third case, the voter cast an early ballot at a satellite polling place, then attempted to vote absentee at the nursing home where the voter lived, Moritz said.
Of the three cases, two involved elderly voters.
"One, we have legitimate concerns about," Moritz said.
"For that many ballots to be cast, that is pretty good."
In the three cases, the voters' first ballots cast were counted, Moritz said. Intent must be proved in voter fraud and in the case of elderly voters, forgetfulness may be involved rather than deliberately trying to cast multiple votes, she said.
During the 2008 presidential election, the auditor's office discovered one case of attempted voter fraud, she said.
Scott County voters cast 43,882 votes through absentee or early voting, and poll workers handled 2,362 same-day registrations, Moritz told supervisors.
The polling site at St. Ambrose University received the most complaints about voters having to wait in line to vote, Moritz said, with one- to two-hour waits. She blamed that on 139 same-day registrations at the site. The auditor's office timed the same-day registration process at seven minutes per voter.
Supervisors Bill Cusack and Carol Earnhardt both praised their election experience, as did Supervisor Larry Minard, who worked as a poll watcher.

Fresco, Italian for Fresh
March 28th, 2016
Lightweight menswear fabric is not all about linen and cotton. I know, wearing wool on hot days can seem counter-intuitive, but the right wool (bred in Australian, tightly spun into very thin yarns, then woven with a porous texture) is as light and breathable as it gets.
Take Fresco for example; a crisp, cool wool that's designed for maximum breathability. The word fresco is derived from the Italian word affresco, which means "fresh". It's a textured open weave (similar to hopsack) made from tropical wool that's best known for it's airy property – you can literally feel a light breeze pass right through this beauty and it can keep you cool even on the hottest days.
Fresco is the perfect non-crease alternative to linen – it has a crisp, dry texture that serves to draw moisture to the exterior and allow it to evaporate. So if you're not the type to embrace the casual crumple of linen (although we wish you would) you'll absolutely love Fresco because of it's superior wrinkle-releasing qualities. It isn't a fragile fabric either; it's made by twisting several long yarns together in order to give it the strength needed to compensate for the fabric's loose weave.
With that said, we hit the streets of Los Angeles with three different gentlemen (Dietrich, Will and David) on a hot day to make sure they could each stay cool in our Medium Grey Fresco.
Three-piece fresco suit, hidden placket shirt (no tie), and a cotton car coat.
That's what we call smooth Spring/Summer layering.

- · Hidden Placket Formal Shirt
The beauty of a true medium grey is that you can wear it most of the year (you'll need the right layers to amp up the weight in the winter – more on that later), you can pair it with just about any shirt/tie combination, and you can wear it with any color footwear – black, dark brown, light brown, something a little more splashy…
We're not only maximizing breathability with this one, but also versatility.

The Jacket
The other great thing about Fresco is that it's kind of like the Spring/Summer alternative to a good supple flannel. What I mean is that the texture of the cloth allows the garment to be worn as a suit, as well as hold its own as a separate jacket.
Fresco has just enough texture to contrast with a pair of jeans or a sleek worsted wool, like our dark chocolate trousers here, which have been one of the most popular "odd trousers" in our collection, for good reason.

The Italian bel canto classic, Norma, is a huge work and director George Ogilvie believes this is why it is a perfect fit on the capacious State Theatre stage.
"The stage is a perfect fit for a work of this scale, with a chorus of 48 singers," he says, pointing to the towering brass wings that frame the action on either side of the set, which is a Druid temple at a time when the Romans were fighting the Celts in what is now France.
He thinks most of the wings, with their authentic Celtic scrolls, will be lost when the work transfers to the Sydney Opera House later this year. Opera Australia has promised that new productions would be designed to accommodate the two different-sized stages, but there have been so few of them - Madama Butterfly and Lulu are exceptions - that Melbourne subscribers would be forgiven if they doubted the safeguard has been upheld. For Ogilvie, directing Norma is the culmination of a long-held dream.
"I've dreamed of doing a piece for this theatre since it first opened more than 20 years ago," he says.
"This is my first opportunity and I must admit that I love it to death."
A theatre veteran - having been an associate director to John Sumner at the Melbourne Theatre Company in the 1960s - he has teamed up with another veteran on Norma, designer Kristian Fredrikson.
"We've done a lot of research to ensure that the sets are as accurate as possible."
The opera tells the tragic story of a Celtic priestess and her love for a Roman soldier.
"This is not one of those operas with a silly plot. Many people admire the Celts, but cannot accept the ritual of human sacrifice and that is what Bellini is writing about."
The opera was written in 1831 and became a favourite of the German composer Richard Wagner. The title role (sung by Elizabeth Connell) is one of the most taxing and wide-ranging parts in the entire repertory.
Ogilvie says this is true to its epic quality and to the demands of the bel canto style, which emphasises light, soaring soprano and tenor arias that have made Italian opera famous.
"There is almost a Spanish feel to the work - it has such a flamenco sense of passion, with all the blood and sacrifice."
Norma, with Elizabeth Connell and Bruce Martin, opens tomorrow at the State Theatre, Victorian Arts Centre, and runs until May 7.

Description Adam Williamson 2011-02-21 14:55:37 EST
In all openbios builds since openbios-1.0-2.fc12 , the openbios-ppc subpackage has gone missing. It's not present in openbios-1.0-3.fc15 , openbios-1.0-4.1031.fc16 or openbios-1.0-4.1031.fc15 . The whole handling of all these arch-specific subpackages seems horribly weird: %ifarch ppc ppc64 %package ppc Summary: OpenBIOS for ppc BuildArch: noarch if it's BuildArch: noarch why does it only even *exist* on specific buildarches? That doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Anyway, the practical upshot of this is to break qemu's dep chain. If I try and update my F15 machine, it fails due to the missing openbios-ppc. If I try 'yum remove openbios-ppc' to clear the blockage, I see that qemu-system-ppc relies on openbios-ppc , and qemu relies on qemu-system-ppc . So removing openbios-ppc kills qemu.
Comment 1 Justin M. Forbes 2011-03-04 13:32:15 EST
Right, there are build problems with ppc for some reason, we are trying to figure them out, but not having an actual build root to test in or knowing what is in that build root make it a bit more painful.
Comment 2 Jan ONDREJ 2011-03-04 13:53:12 EST
May be problem is, that koji does not run noarch builds on ppc, then ifarch ppc does never evaluate.
Comment 3 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2011-03-06 08:04:08 EST
*** Bug 682453 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2011-03-16 14:48:48 EDT
This should block the Beta release, I believe it will affect DVD compose and also will break criterion "The release must boot successfully as a virtual guest in a situation where the virtual host is running the same release (using Fedora's current preferred virtualization technology)".
Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2011-03-18 13:56:33 EDT
Discussed at 2011-03-18 blocker review meeting, accepted as blocker as per criteria referenced above. We need some firepower to get this resolved ASAP, so CCing dgilmore for releng and Karsten from PPC team to help out. Thanks.
Comment 6 Karsten Hopp 2011-03-18 15:57:02 EDT
I don't think this can be handled a build time. As Jan already said in comment #2, %ifarch ppc ppc64 is only true if the build happens to be on a ppc machine. Maybe we can build openbios-ppc on all archs (by removing the %ifarch ppc) and exclude this subpackage at compose time for a ll non-ppc archs. Or just ship it on all archs, even if it doesn't get used on non-PPC archs.
Comment 7 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-18 18:57:30 EDT
Is the reason for the %ifarch really that we only want to ship the package on PPC archs? Isn't qemu-system-ppc and thus openbios-ppc useful on ANY arch? Wasn't the %ifarch added because a PPC toolchain is needed to build this, with the (possibly false) expectation that the output from the PPC buildsys somehow magically gets imported into the primary Koji instance?
Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2011-03-18 21:54:50 EDT
kev: yeah, that's how I understood it too.
Comment 9 Jan ONDREJ 2011-03-19 15:36:07 EDT
You should ask releng to start build for this package on ppc, or prefer ppc build for this package. Maybe you should add ppc bios binary to sources and if ppc compilation utilities are not available on package compile time, fallback to binary. I think you should ask for an exception for this in packaging guidelines.
Comment 10 Dennis Gilmore 2011-03-20 14:43:37 EDT
this package needs special handling, we need to build openbios on ppc and sparc and import the resulting rpms into the primary koji as they need native compilation. they are the openfirmware implementations used by qemu. it just happened that the ppc build failed. we probably should do the builds on ppc and sparc then do the build on the primary arches, the mass build scripts should be updated to handle this. we may need to just untag the mass rebuild build unless we can get it building again.
Comment 11 Jan ONDREJ 2011-03-20 16:47:54 EDT
And what's wrong with adding binary blobs to source packages? Looking at packaging guidelines, you can build rpm binaries from source binaries for firmwares. Is BIOS a firmware? I think it is. You can build openbios binaries using mock for sparc, ppc, ... all required archs, then add them to the source package. For each arch, try to build from source, if it fails, just copy prebuild binaries from source. Does this met packaging guidelines?
Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2011-03-20 18:17:18 EDT
"Is BIOS a firmware? I think it is." Per our guidelines, I'm not actually sure. I think we consider things to be 'firmware' that are not executed on the host processor. BIOS is executed on the host processor, isn't it?
Comment 13 Jan ONDREJ 2011-03-21 03:52:49 EDT
(In reply to comment #12) > "Is BIOS a firmware? I think it is." > > Per our guidelines, I'm not actually sure. I think we consider things to be > 'firmware' that are not executed on the host processor. BIOS is executed on the > host processor, isn't it? Not exactly. It's executed on the guest virtual CPU. Especially if guest has different architecture than guest, it's emulated and does not run directly on host CPU. For same arch, you can compile binaries form source without problems.
Comment 14 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-03-24 15:18:23 EDT
So, I talked to Josh Boyer, and he pointed out that the qemu ppc support was prep only, and that almost nothing supports prep anymore, not even Fedora PPC. His recommendation was to simply not bother building the qemu-system-ppc* bits, and I'm inclined to agree with him.
Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2011-03-25 13:40:29 EDT
as long as the dependencies are lined up, that would be fine by me. as far as release blocking goes, we really only need this to be 'fixed' insofar as the dependencies are cleared up so upgrades work, DVD composes work, and virtualization works.
Comment 16 Adam Williamson 2011-03-25 13:46:39 EDT
Discussed at 2011-03-25 blocker review meeting. Looks like this is in progress, but please note the TC compose is scheduled for Tuesday, and we may need this fixed by then to do a successful compose, as it affects the DVD package set. dgilmore, is that the case?
Comment 17 Justin M. Forbes 2011-03-28 15:12:19 EDT
So it seems we are going to drop the ppc support from qemu? I can make that update today.
Comment 18 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-03-28 15:16:19 EDT
(In reply to comment #17) > So it seems we are going to drop the ppc support from qemu? I can make that > update today. Yep. This is the simplest resolution.
Comment 19 Dennis Gilmore 2011-03-28 15:45:12 EDT
for the record it doesnt effect the compose, its been broken since the mass rebuild pre-Alpha.
Comment 20 Fedora Update System 2011-03-29 18:16:46 EDT
qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15
Comment 21 Fedora Update System 2011-03-29 22:24:36 EDT
Package qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
Comment 22 Fedora Update System 2011-04-03 00:22:22 EDT
qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Comment 23 Paolo Bonzini 2011-07-26 06:26:29 EDT
QEMU 0.15 supports pSeries emulation, so it makes sense to add back PPC support for F16.
Comment 24 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-07-26 10:31:51 EDT
Is there openbios code for that?
Comment 25 Paolo Bonzini 2011-07-26 11:11:34 EDT
It uses Slimline Open Firmware ("SLOF"), which has the same problem as OpenBIOS of requiring native compilation. There is a git repository for the source. Precompiled binaries for both openbios and SLOF are included in QEMU releases.
Comment 26 Henrik Nordström 2011-08-18 16:58:05 EDT
I also miss the Sparc32 support which got disabled due to this openbios dependency. I would too agree that the OpenBIOS/SLOF should be seen as a kind of firmware with available source. As noted they do run in the emulated CPUs. Should be sufficient to meet Fedoras freedom requirements that source IS available and the distributed builds can be verified to match the source, even if rebuilding the source is a little tricky and can not be done in an automated manned by the build farm. According to OpenBIOS 1.0 docs it can cross-compile just fine. But obviously needs compilers for the target architecture. Fedora do not ship cross-compilers for any of these arches which is the actual reason to why the package can not be rebuilt the normal way.

The oil leak from BP's collapsed rig off the coast of Louisiana is "a disaster the magnitude of which we likely have never seen before in terms of a blowout in the Gulf of Mexico," President Obama's chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said during a briefing in which he was repeatedly asked whether the government shouldn't be doing more to stop the ooze.
The Obama administration is often criticized for letting the government do too much. In this case, it finds itself accused of not doing enough.
Since BP hasn't been able to staunch the spill, maybe the government should take over, the questioning went. One reporter wondered why the administration can't simply "federalize" the disaster.
Gibbs argued that there are good reasons to keep BP on the spot. "They have the legal responsibility and the technical expertise to plug the hole," he said.
He said the government has been deeply involved in the effort. "We have taken every step," Gibbs said. "We have pushed relentlessly."
Another bone of contention: Why is BP being so slow to release information, such as the video posted above -- made available by Sen. Bill Nelson?
"We've asked them to provide more public data," Gibbs said. But "there are laws that govern the proprietary information of companies. We can't change each and every one of those laws."

That's the job search advice Sjoerd Gehring offered to Feliciano School of Business MBA students during his recent MBA Executive Speaker Series presentation. Working for a company that invests in the professional development of its employees is more critical to the success of this generation than it was to the last.
"Due to rapidly changing technology, we need to reinvent ourselves every four years to stay relevant as opposed to the four times our parents had to in their careers," said Gehring, Vice President of Talent Acquisition for Johnson & Johnson.
The Fortune 50 company recruits more than 1 million candidates annually and values its talent as its ultimate asset, said Gehring, who oversees all of the company's global activities. He was responsible for reinventing Johnson & Johnson's recruitment function from the ground up, including developing their global talent acquisition strategy and devising innovative and progressive sourcing, selection and assessment processes to ensure J&J continues to attract and retain a globally diverse pipeline of talent.
Gehring's primary focus and passion is developing the next generation of recruiting platforms and channels and employing the rapid prototyping of ideas that disrupt conventional recruiting strategies. He is widely recognized as a thought leader in the talent acquisition space and has several patents pending with the United States Patent Office for cutting-edge talent acquisition technologies.

Policies put in place by the Obama Administration are responsible for the urgent, growing and heartbreaking crisis on our nation's southern border.
For five and a half years, the president has gone around Congress to ignore, defy and alter laws in a variety of areas, from Obamacare implementation to issuing excessive new labor and environmental rules to infringing on religious freedom. It is no different with immigration policy, where President Obama has unilaterally deferred enforcement of U.S. immigration laws for many currently here illegally.
His actions have encouraged many in Central America to risk their lives, or the lives of their loved ones, to enter the United States illegally under the false belief that they will be forgiven or granted outright amnesty.
It is largely this assumption, more than recent spikes in crime that is responsible for the sudden surge of 60,000 unaccompanied Guatemalan, Honduran and El Salvadorian children who have been apprehended on America's southern border since last October. An additional 60,000 family members -- one or both parents traveling with their children -- also have been apprehended during this period.
This situation does not simply affect border states. The administration recently announced they have sent hundreds of unaccompanied alien children to Indiana communities, with more expected.
As if President Obama's previous actions have not done enough harm, he has threatened to "fix" the crisis he helped create.
Crises like this illustrate why our federal government has a system of checks and balances that encourages debate and input by our nation's 535 lawmakers -- an all hands on deck approach -- rather than let policy be dictated by one individual.
The president's justification for issuing another round of executive orders is congressional inaction.
While I share the president's frustration with the general inability of Congress to get things done, the House of Representatives has passed legislation addressing this issue, and I have cosponsored a similar measure in the Senate.
The House-passed legislation would make several changes to current immigration law to allow quicker repatriation of unaccompanied alien children while ensuring due process for asylum claims. The legislation also would prevent the president from expanding the deferred action program and provide funding for border security, law enforcement and humanitarian assistance activities, without adding to the debt.
I am hopeful that the Senate will fully debate this issue, rather than seek to simply throw money at the situation without taking any steps to address the current flood of illegal immigrants.
As part of a long term strategy to stem the tide of illegal immigration, we first have to put an end to the false notion that if you illegally enter the United States, you can stay here.
While we must take steps to ensure the safety and well-being of unaccompanied children currently in the United States, we also must reunite these children with their families in their home countries as soon as possible.
Parents will see children returned home, and perhaps not spend the money and risk the danger of sending their children away. We must deter children from even starting this arduous journey.
As the son of an immigrant, I am keenly aware of our nation's diverse background. While we are a nation of immigrants, we are a nation of legal immigrants who followed the law to better their lives and the lives of their children.
The House-passed proposal is a reasonable approach that will address this crisis more effectively than the classic Washington response of throwing money at a problem with hopes of fixing it later.
What message would we be sending if we allowed the status quo to continue?

Mobile safety applications proving popular with US universities
Rave Wireless
: 22 June, 2009
(Application Story)
Many more university campuses are taking on Rave Wireless mobile safety solutions for personal safety monitoring and connection with police services
Rave Wireless has announced that over 20 additional colleges and universities have launched Rave mobile safety applications this year, bringing the total number of participating higher education institutions to nearly 150. A number of these schools, along with several pre-existing Rave Alert clients, turned to Rave for the company's "next generation" mobile safety solution - Rave Guardian. Howard University, Colorado State University, the College of DuPage and others will deploy this patented technology, which enables users to transform their mobile phones into location-aware personal safety devices to be monitored by and instantly connected with police.
About half of the new Rave-enabled schools also recognize the importance of multi-modal emergency notification systems and are deploying Rave Alert systems using multiple communications channels. While Short Message Service (SMS) notifications to cell phones continue to be the primary vehicle for delivering emergency alerts to tens-of-thousands of students within several minutes, many of Rave's clients are also issuing alerts through voice messages, emails, RSS feeds, IM services such as AIM, and popular social networks, such as Facebook. Augmenting SMS emergency alerts with one or several other modes of communication increases the likelihood of reaching all members of the campus population. Rave Alert is a fully hosted system and can easily be integrated with universities' information systems, allowing administrators to seamlessly issue emergency notifications through each institution's selected communications channels.
"With a campus community of more than 15,000, efficient emergency communications and advanced personal safety tools are paramount to Howard University," explains Chief of Police Lee James. "Rave Wireless' Guardian and multi-modal alerting provide us with broader safety benefits that are easier to deploy and more reliable than technologies used in the past."
Universities have begun the registration process for Rave, and feedback to the advanced mobile safety solutions has been strong. "Howard University is located in one of the most dynamic cities in the world, Washington, DC, which presents unparalleled experiences and opportunities - as well as challenges unique to our urban setting," comments Bryan Smart, President, Howard University Student Association. "We, Howard University students, are enthused by the partnership that has been developed with Howard and Rave, and we look forward to the enhancement of the state-of-the-art safety mechanisms, affording us greater peace-of-mind."
Institutions view the Rave solution as a highly extensible mobile safety platform. "At Gustavus Adolphus College, we believe that cell phones can be powerful tools for both broadcast messaging and personal safety," said Ray Thrower, Campus Safety Director at Gustavus Adolphus College, and former President of The International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA). "We selected Rave Wireless not only for its powerful multi-modal alerting solution, but also because we can easily and seamlessly add its award-winning personal safety application, Rave Guardian."
Rave's unparalleled mobile safety solutions, ease-of-use and reliability are capturing the attention of schools that conducted the most stringent review process prior to choosing a provider. "Henderson State University has long realized that the ubiquitous use of cell phones makes mobile safety the most effective way to reach students, faculty and staff during an emergency," says Henderson President, Dr Charles Welch. "With Rave Wireless, we now have the capability to distribute emergency messages in a matter of seconds to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, regardless of where everyone is at the time. Every second counts in life-threatening situations and we believe this system will greatly enhance the safety of our campus community."
In addition to Henderson, schools launching multi-modal Rave Alert systems in fall '09 include Kansas State, Northwest State Community College, Washburn University and William Penn University.

Auditory processing in dyslexia: a problem with the stimulus or the task?
In turn, when the child comes to the task of reading – learning the correspondence between these speech sounds and letters – these poor representations make the task more challenging than for your average child. Although this makes sense, we're not sure this is the whole story.
Auditory processing is assessed in lots of different ways and sometimes researchers find poor abilities in children with dyslexia, sometimes they don't. The aim of our research is to figure out why this is the case. In order to do so, we are separating the learning the stimulus characteristics of the task from actually doing the task. In this way we will separate difficulties with auditory processing from difficulties with the task requirements. We anticipate that some children with dyslexia will have specific difficulties with auditory processing but also that some will have difficulties with managing the task requirements and no difficulties with auditory processing.
