Divisions in the Episcopal Church regarding the inclusion of female leadership and gay and lesbian clergy are beginning to hit home in Fort Worth.The new presiding bishop-elect of the United States, Katharine Jefferts Schori, aside from being female, is a strong supporter of gay and lesbian ordination and the blessing of same-sex couples in active relationships.

Jack Iker, bishop of the Diocese of Fort Worth , is seeking alternative leadership after Schori's election in June.

Dennis Haskins, who played Principal Richard Belding on the television show "Saved by the Bell," has a message to spread: "Follow your dreams."Haskins, an actor since college, brought his one-man comedy show to about 350 students in the Student Center Ballroom Tuesday evening.

After the "Saved by the Bell" theme song played, Haskins took the stage to loud cheers from the audience.

"Take advantage of being here, don't just go to school," Haskins said.

"Snakes on a Plane," in a word, was ridiculous. Just as I fully expected, every snake attack, death and line of expletive-littered dialogue was laughable.Somehow though, the audience at my showing got the wrong impression from previews.

"I'm hoping it will be scary," 18-year-old Vanessa Recendiz said before the film began.

"If not, I want a refund."

Stacy Dickerson, 40, said the same thing.

"I want lots of scary stuff."

KinderFrogs is a laboratory school located within the School of Education. It provides educational services for children who have Down syndrome and other developmental delays.

Several groups of TCU students participating in summer study abroad programs in the United Kingdom had homebound flights affected by a foiled bomb plot that targeted planes flying to the United States.According to The New York Times, more than 20 suspects were arrested Aug. 10 on suspicion of plotting to bring liquid explosives disguised as drink bottles on as many as 10 passenger planes.

A group of TCU theater students in Edinburgh, Scotland were scheduled to fly back Aug. 16, but returned a day early because of the threats.

Although TCU has not had its network of 7,000 computers hacked by an outside source, protective measures are being taken to keep the system from falling subject to any form of computer compromise, a TCU network security engineer said.The threat of computer hacking at universities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area became evident when nearly 38,000 student profiles at the University of North Texas were accessed in August 2005.

When three people broke into two cars in the recreation center parking lot June 13, they probably didn't know that somebody saw something that would ultimately lead to their arrests and the arrests of several others involved in a metroplex-wide crime ring.A partial license plate number recorded by a witness led TCU Police Detective Vicki Lawson to a rental car agency in San Antonio that would eventually lead to arrest warrants for four suspects involved in a Dallas/Fort Worth area crime spree, said TCU Police Detective Sgt. Kelly Ham.
