...highspeed data network, it can download files at broadband speed. Although the network is key to much of Cingular's ambitions, it is not required to access music, however. The Sync is so-named because you load music from your PC. Any MP3 or unprotected WMA files will transfer, but so will subscription downloads from Rhapsody, Napster, AOL and MTV Urge. In other words, if you pay $15 per month for all-you-can-eat music, the Sync will, in theory, act as a vessel for your downloads...
...theory" because the truth is, although I tested two Syncs with two separate music services, I never actually got one to transfer protected content. The bane of the subscription services, the reason they can't compete with iTunes, is that they don't work 100% of the time. In the past, my enthusiasm for the subscription model has been stymied by just such technical snafus.

Belgian researchers found that the transplant of a single fresh (not frozen) Day 5 embryo in infertile women under age 36 led to pregnancy and delivery in 47% more women than with a less mature...
...system, which has been in place for a decade, has made Jefferson County one of the most integrated school districts in the country. But if Crystal Meredith, a single mom who was told her son could not transfer to another elementary school because he is white, has her way, the whole thing will be dismantled. And plenty of critics agree that it should be. Meredith and others contend that the guidelines amount to an unconstitutional quota system. So Jefferson County finds itself in an ironic position. After years of court-ordered desegregation, the school district will appear before...
