NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
This week, the Department released non-regulatory guidance regarding alternate achievement standards for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. This guidance is a supplement to the Department's regulations released on December 9, 2003 (http://www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/finrule/
2003-4/120903a.html), and includes sections about alternate assessments (section B), Individualized Education Program teams (section D), alignment (section E), the "one percent cap" (sections F and H), the exception process (section G), and reporting (section I) that provide clear explanations and examples. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/
saa.html#guidance. (Note: This guidance only addresses issues related to the December 9, 2003, regulation. It does not address the recently proposed "two percent" policy or the issue of modified achievement standards.)
Also, the Department has released revised and expanded non-regulatory guidance for highly qualified teachers and Improving Teacher Quality State Grants (Title II, Part A). Many of the changes, including new policies pertaining to teachers in rural districts, science teachers, and teachers of multiple subjects, were made in response to feedback from Teacher Assistance Corps and monitoring visits. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/teacherqual/legislation.html
Meanwhile, a new, free resource is available to help parents and community leaders build excitement about and understanding of supplemental educational services, or SES. The "SES in Action Toolkit" offers strategies, tips, and tools for helping parents learn about SES, navigate the system to sign up for services, and pick a quality SES provider for their children. The toolkit was developed by the Supplemental Educational Services Quality Center, which is funded through a grant from the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement.

Speaking Engagements
Never one to slow down during the summer months, Secretary Spellings has been crisscrossing the country discussing No Child Left Behind. The following excerpts are from her major addresses since mid-July.
- National Council of La Raza (July 18): "I'm committed to working with you to make this law work for all studentsincluding those students new to the English language. Many of you have shared concerns with me about finding the best way to assess these students to make sure they're keeping pace in school. And because of that, we're convening a working group of researchers and educators to study the issue.... We need to get this right. The key is listening to people like you on the front lines." (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/07/
- National Reading First Conference (July 26): "Time magazine asked me if I thought these [Harry Potter] books had 'educational value.' I told them most any time kids read, that's a good thing. I know everybody here agrees with me about that! And you know that reading is more than a pastime. In today's world, it's a survival skill.... A child who can read is a child who can learn, and a child who can learn is a child who can succeed in school and in life." (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/07/
- Teacher-to-Teacher Workshop (July 27): "When we passed the No Child Left Behind Act, we knew the hard work of closing the achievement gap would fall on your shoulders. We also knew you wouldn't want it any other way. You never lose hope in a child. And as a nation, we're learning what you have always known. With a great teacher, every child can learn.... We want to provide teachers with strategies that are proven to work. We have a lot of good scientific research on how children learn..." (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/07/
- American Legislative Exchange Council (August 4): "[The No Child Left Behind Act] is good policy and good politics because the American people see education as a value, not an issue. There is a difference. Values represent the hopes and dreams that parents have for their children. A value is a belief we hold close to our hearts. It is a principle, a standard, and a quality that is worthwhile and desirable. That's why the majority of adults in our country say a high-quality public education system is the most important factor in our country's global success. They know education is a fundamental part of our nation's legacy of innovation and achievement." (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/08/
The release of the new Harry Potter book also prompted a widely published op-ed from the Secretary: http://www.ed.gov/news/opeds/edit/2005/
From the Field...
Only days after Deputy Secretary Ray Simon announced the Department will be independently calculating each state's four-year graduation rate, to be published alongside states' currently reported graduation rates (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/07/07132005.html), 45 governors (subsequently, 46) and 12 national organizations signed a pact to produce graduation rates that more accurately gauge how well states do at ensuring students finish on time. "This change in reporting graduation rates ultimately helps not just educators, but students as well," Simon said in a statement regarding the governors' move. "Improving the accuracy of our graduation statistics allows us to better target resources and tailor instruction for children who might otherwise fall through the cracks and eventually drop out." For more information, please go to http://www.nga.org/Files/pdf/
0507GRADCOMPACT.PDF. (The Deputy Secretary's statement is available at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/07/07172005.html, while his op-ed is posted at http://www.ed.gov/news/opeds/edit/2005/07282005.html.)
Then, on July 27, 15 leading business organizations called for doubling the number of science, technology, engineering, and math graduates by the year 2015. These groupsrepresenting businesses of every size and from every sector of the economyreleased an action plan focused on five areas: building public support; motivating students and adults to enter careers in these disciplines (with a special effort geared toward under-represented groups); upgrading elementary and secondary teaching in math and science; reforming immigration/visa policies to enable the U.S. to attract and retain students; and boosting and sustaining funding for basic research. "The call...is a realistic one, if we make the right choices," Secretary Spellings said in a statement regarding the plan. "Key to achieving this goal is to increase our K-12 pipeline by improving our high schools." For more information, please go to http://www.businessroundtable.org/pdf/
20050803001tapfinalnb.pdf. (The Secretary's statement is available at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/07/
According to the Department-funded National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2), students with disabilities have made significant progress in their transition to adulthood during the past 25 years. For example, the percentage of students with disabilities completing high school rose from 53.5 percent in 1987 to 70.3 percent in 2003, and, over the same period, the rate at which students with disabilities enrolled in any type of postsecondary education rose from 14.6 percent to 31.9 percent. Moreover, in 2003, 70 percent of students with disabilities who had been out of school for up to two years had paying jobs, versus only 55 percent in 1987. However, challenges remain. African-American and Latino students with disabilities continue to lag behind their white peers on key indicators (completion rate, postsecondary attendance, independent living, etc.), and no real increase in earnings among young people with disabilities occurred over a 16-year period. For more information, please go to http://www.nlts2.org/.
New Commissioner
President Bush has formally nominated Mark S. Schneider to be Commissioner of Education Statistics, for the remainder of a six-year term expiring June 20, 2009. No stranger to federal service, Dr. Schneider now serves as Deputy Commissioner of the National Center for Education Research, another arm of the agency's Institute for Education Sciences (IES). Previously, he served as a professor and chairman of the Department of Political Science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. IES' National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) collects, analyzes, and reports data concerning the nation's education progress. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/07/07272005a.html.
Also: Before leaving town on recess, the Senate confirmed new assistant secretaries for Communications and Outreach (OCO), Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), and Legislation and Congressional Affairs (OLCA). For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/07/07292005a.html, http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/07/07292005b.html, and http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/07/07292005c.html (respectively).
Monitoring America's Children
Data from the 2005 edition of "America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being," compiled by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, suggests that the next generation of adults is off to a healthy start. First, the teen birth rate dropped to a record low in 2003 (the most recently available data): 22 births for every 1,000 girls ages 15 to 17, compared to 39 in 1991. (African-American teens showed the greatest decline, from 86 per 1,000 in 1991 to 39 in 2003.) Also, the percentage of young children receiving the recommended series of immunizations has increased, and child mortality (ages 1 to 4) has been declining in the last two decades, dropping by more than half between 1980 and 2002. On the other hand, poverty is up, with 18 percent of all children (ages 0 to 17) living below the $18,810 for a family of four poverty threshold. And, the rates at which youths committed or were victims of serious violent crimes has increased. For more information, please go to http://childstats.gov/amchildren05/index.asp. (Note: This year's report has special features on asthma, lead in the blood of children, and parental reports of behavioral and emotional difficulties, as well as a section on family structure and children's well-being.)
What about education specifically? In "Youth Indicators 2005," a separate report from NCES, America's young people have made substantial improvements academically over the previous three decades, demonstrating improved mathematics performance during their teenage years and very nearly doubling their college completion rates. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2005050.
Quote to Note
"Many people in America want to help children, but they're not sure how to get started. On October 27th, I'll host a White House Conference on Helping America's Youth here in Washington, D.C. We'll invite researchers, service providers, and volunteers who can help us understand the challenges faced by today's youth and recommend effective programs to help children. By bringing together experts and sharing knowledge, we can foster connections between people making a difference in their communities and people who have the motivation but need to get started. We want to reach enough people so that every child in America has a parent, a teacher, a coach, or a mentor that he can turn to for support and love."
First Lady Laura Bush (7/29/05)

Frequent Questions
What is USB-C?
USB-C (also called USB Type-C) is a new USB connector that supports higher power-current transfer and faster data transfer via a small connector type that is about the same size as a micro-USB connector. This allows super-fast charging of devices with a small, easy-to-carry cable that can also serve as a data transfer cable. The USB-C standard also features reversible plug orientation and cable direction — it doesn't matter which end of the cable or which side of the connector you connect, the USB-C cable and ports work properly either way.Can I charge my USB-C laptop from the powerstation USB-C XXL battery? Absolutely. The powerstation USB-C XXL battery supports the USB-PD (Power Delivery) Specification, providing the increased power levels (up to 30W) necessary to fully charge a USB-C laptop such as the Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro. The powerstation USB-C XXL battery can provide up to 14 hours of extra battery for a MacBook.Can I use the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable to charge my USB-C laptop from the powerstation USB-C XXL battery's USB-A port? Do not connect a USB-C laptop to the powerstation USB-C XXL battery's USB-A port (the charging speeds available from the battery's USB-A port are too slow to effectively charge a USB-C laptop). Instead, use the supplied USB-C to USB-C cable to charge a USB-C laptop from the battery's USB-C port. (The USB-C to USB-A cable is supplied so you can recharge the powerstation USB-C XXL battery from a 2.4V USB-A wall charger.)Will the powerstation USB-C XXL battery charge my tablet or smartphone? You bet. The powerstation USB-C XXL battery will charge a USB-C smartphone at super-fast speeds via the USB-C port, and it also has a USB-A output port (up to 2.4 amps) that is compatible with just about any smartphone, tablet or other USB device. For example, the powerstation USB-C XXL battery can provide up to 100 hours of extra battery for an iPhone 7, and up to 20 hours of extra battery for an iPad Air 2.Once I connect my device to the powerstation USB-C XXL battery, how do I start charging? Once you connect your device to the powerstation USB-C XXL battery's USB-C or USB-A port, charging begins automatically.Can the powerstation USB-C XXL battery charge multiple devices at once? Yes, you can use the powerstation USB-C XXL battery's USB-C port and USB-A port at the same time to simultaneously charge two devices. (As stated above, do not attempt to charge a USB-C laptop from the powerstation battery's USB-A port.)Can I recharge the powerstation USB-C XXL battery from a USB-C laptop's USB-C port? You can recharge the powerstation USB-C XXL battery from a USB-C laptop's USB-C port only when the laptop is also connected to its wall charger. In this situation you must press-and-hold the powerstation battery's status button for 2 seconds. The battery's status LEDs will flash towards the left to indicate that the battery is receiving a charge. (The laptop will pass the charge from the wall charger to the powerstation battery.) If you do not press-and-hold the status button in this situation, the powerstation battery will not recharge and it will not charge the laptop.
Note: A computer's USB-A port will not effectively recharge the powerstation USB-C XXL battery.Can I charge my device while recharging the powerstation USB-C XXL battery (Priority+ pass-through charging)?
Yes. When you're recharging your powerstation USB-C XXL battery (via its USB-C port), Priority+ pass-through charging first provides power to a device connected to its USB-A port first, before the powerstation battery starts to recharge.Sometimes the powerstation USB-C XXL battery's status LEDs flash in one direction, and sometimes they flash in the other direction. What does the flashing mean? The status LEDs are flashing towards the right: The powerstation USB-C XXL battery is charging another device.
The status LEDs are flashing towards the left: The powerstation USB-C XXL battery is recharging.How can I tell how much charge my powerstation USB-C XXL battery has?
Momentarily press the status button on your powerstation USB-C XXL battery and the status LEDs will indicate its charge level. Four LEDs means that the battery is fully charged, while one LED means that it's almost empty. Know before you go!How many times can I recharge my powerstation USB-C XXL battery? You can recharge your powerstation USB-C XXL battery for over 500 full cycles. A full cycle is when you recharge the battery from 0% to 100%. Partial cycles, like charging from 25% to 100%, will not count as a full cycle until all of the partials equal 100%. After 500 full cycles, the powerstation battery may provide less than 75% of its original capacity. This is normal for any product with a lithium polymer battery.

Sky News, the Murdoch empire's British satellite news station, issued a statement in which it admits to using e-mail hacking on two separate occasions. Sky News has attempted to justify the hacks, claiming that they were in the public interest. However, the Computer Misuse Act, which outlaws interception of e-mails, has no public interest defense.
On both occasions, the hacker was Sky News North of England correspondent Gerard Tubb. He broke into the Yahoo e-mail of "canoe man" John Darwin, who faked his own death to allow his wife, Anne Darwin, to claim a large life insurance settlement. These e-mails were published by Sky News and handed to the police.
Tubb also broke into the e-mail of a suspected pedophile and his wife. Those e-mails were never published or broadcast.
Sky News head John Ryley has defended the hacking, arguing the Darwin e-mails were instrumental in securing convictions for deception for both husband and wife. The broadcaster has specifically attacked the Guardian newspaper, which broke the story. He pointed out that Guardian journalist David Leigh hacked into the phone of an illegal arms dealer, and claimed that it was in the public interest to do so.
The e-mail hacking is the latest in a long string of hacks performed by or on behalf of Rupert Murdoch's British publications. The use of phone hacking—breaking into voicemail accounts by guessing the PINs used to secure them—first came to light in 2005, but the issue garnered little attention or interest as the victims appeared to be celebrities and members of the Royal Family. This changed in July of last year, when the Guardian revealed that the Murdoch-owned News of the World had broken into the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler. This ultimately triggered the ongoing Leveson inquiry, which is investigating phone hacking and police bribery.
Subsequently, it emerged that other Murdoch publications also engaged in similarly illegal activity. A journalist at The Times broke into the e-mail of an anonymous police blogger "Nightjack," using the information discovered to reveal his name.
The Guardian has also claimed that Sky News' parent company, BSkyB, worked with hackers to crack the encryption system used by rival broadcaster ONdigital. NDS, owned by News International (which, in turn, owns the companies that own Murdoch's UK newspapers), was found to have funded hacking group THOIC ("The House of Ill Compute"), which subsequently distributed cracks for ONdigital's encryption. ONdigital went out of business in 2002.

The Epiphany School of Global Studies begins the school year with a new leader.
The Epiphany School of Global Studies begins the school year with a new leader.
For the last seven years, Saul Benjamin has lived outside of North America serving children and young adults through education. Before coming to New Bern, Benjamin lived in Morocco and was a distinguished professor of liberal arts at Al Akhawayn University, where he created University Honors College and was the director of the International School in Ifrane.
Benjamin is no stranger to struggle and hard work. He was the son of parents with limited education and opportunity. Benjamin grew up in extraordinary poverty and violence in the barrios of Los Angeles, yet graduated high school at 16 and by 21 was teaching Greek, mathematics, music theory and Greek philosophy at the college level.
After being contacted about the vacancy at Epiphany, Benjamin gave it some thought and realized that all of his jobs have had a common theme: They weren�t easy or boring.
During the phone call about the position, Benjamin learned the goals for Epiphany are to be student-focused in a very profound way and incorporate global studies. Additionally, the fact that �Epiphany is tied to a service mission, an ethically charged community anchored in values which are both at the heart of Christian tradition and living by what you say you believe, no matter what that is,� according to Benjamin, were the driving forces behind his decision to accept the position as headmaster.
Relocating to New Bern would bring about a big change for Benjamin and his family, but he felt it would be a good fit.
�We�ve been living out of suitcases for years. New Bern is a place we can earn as a home and have neighbors,� Benjamin said.
�I�ve always been puzzled by what it means for a young person to discover what their life is about and when I think about all the odd things and extraordinarily lucky things that have happened in mine, it always comes down to finding teachers,� Benjamin said.
A minor yet significant change to the dress code for this school year, made by Benjamin, is colorful socks: Not only are they allowed, they are encouraged.
�Previously, students could get into trouble or even sent to detention for wearing colorful socks. Who cares? I want to know what the color of their heart and their mind is,� Benjamin said.
Another change Benjamin would like to see is more diversity in the school. The school focuses on a child anchoring mission with a global focus.
�We are not a private school, we are an independent school with a public purpose and that�s what our mission and guiding principles really articulate,� Benjamin said. �Most of our kids are privileged and they need to understand that privilege is something not entitled, you earn it by getting some mileage.�
Benjamin wants students to travel, but not to be tourists. Instead, students will be able to help other communities as well as their own.
�I want them to see what life is like for other human beings,� Benjamin said.
Additional changes he will push for this school year are encouragement for teachers to feel they can come to him with their thoughts and ideas and for students to have more of an active voice in the school.
�I don�t want faculty members to come to me for permission. I want to hear what they want to do,� Benjamin said.
In order to give students a voice, Benjamin wants them to be part of the governance of the school by allowing them to serve on the curricular team, faculty hiring team and in charge of discipline.
�I�ve done this in three different countries in three different places in time and I�ve never had students fail to be the most rigorous and fair minded,� Benjamin said. �When they are given that responsibility, they rise to it, and when they aren�t, they tend to see it as compliance, which is not enough. Citizenship is what they want.�

What 'Identity Shift' Means for Consumers and the Future of e-Commerce
By Peter Bernstein
As active transactional individuals in the Internet age, here are a few questions to ponder for a moment.
- How do we present ourselves to the world, or choose not to, and why?
- What does our view and management of our multiple identities —on multiple physical, virtual (and where they intersect/converge/blur) platforms —tell us and others about predicting and/or leveraging our behavior?
- Does where you are in your life matter?
- In an age where dynamic context-based identity mediation will be paramount (for individuals and organizations alike), whom do we and can we trust and entrust with our identities?
- How does trust factor into our purchasing decisions?
These are not existential questions. In fact, as pointed out in a previous blog, they are the subject of an important new book, Identity Shift : Where Identity Meets Technology in the Networked-Community Age, written by Alcatel-Lucent's Allison Cerra and Christina James.

Nice, thanks! It looks old-fashioned enough that it probably won't change.
The discoverability is still a problem - a forum comment doesn't exactly make that login page easy to find.
And - not an Ars problem - updating my KeePass entry took probably 2 minutes (add a new entry, make sure it works, make sure there's no extra data in the old entry, delete it). It would be really nice if KeePass had a way to update the login page info, without creating a new entry.
I agree it's not ideal, but if you look closely at the login popup there is a link to the standalone login form. We're definitely open to changing it, but the popup login does offer some convenience IMO. Perhaps with a bit of tweaking we can get the password managers working better with the popup.
That link is somewhat cryptic -- it reads "Is this form secure?"
I didn't realize till just now that it actually leads to the secure (https) log-in page.
It looks like a link to a FAQ, not a link to an alternative log-in.

Food is always an essential ingredient in every event and party. Events such as weddings, corporate events, family reunions or baby showers all need to have food around. In fact, when we attend an event, we will usually look forward to eat some delicious food, whether it is snacks or a full-course meal. So instead of preparing the food yourself, you can hire a food catering company to help you take care of your food requirements.
A catering service can be very helpful with taking some of the stress off you during an event. A good caterer will take care of everything such as the preparation of food and drink, dining area set up, decorations, and the clearing up of the dining area after the event.
Now, let me share with you some simple tips so that you are better prepared and your caterer will be able to execute your plan accordingly:
1. Finalizing on the location, date and time of the event. These are very important information and you must let your caterer know way before the event. Especially for the location, the caterer needs to visit the ground so as to get himself familiar with the site layout. So make sure that your caterer is comfortable with the location in advance.
2. Setting your catering budget. One way to decide your catering budget is to ask yourself how important the role of food and drink will play at your event. Are you intending to provide a sit-down dinner or a buffet for your guests? Do you want your food to match a particular theme of your event? These are the things that you need to get into consideration before deciding how much money you are going to allocate for food catering. It is also important to know how many guests are attending your event. By catering the right amount of food, you can save yourself some money and cut down on food wastage.
3. Planning with your caterer. You need to brief your caterer on the things that you expect him or her to do during the event. Also find out whether your caterer provides other services such as site decoration. Many catering services today provide a full event planning. Check with your caterer if they provide a full event planning. If so, usually they will provide you with a brochure with the service details.
So whether you are planning a corporate event or a simple birthday party for 20 close friends, let a catering company helps you with the task of food requirements and set up. Spend your time sweating on other details of the event!

ChipSeal update (2)
Ed, If I read the Texas Bicycle Law I come away convinced that ChipSeal did violate the law and yes I'm a cyclist (grin). See 551.103 (b)
According to ChipSeal (if I remember right) he said he has a right to the roadway. Wish I could see a transcript of the court trial to see if he ever moved right of he was steadfast that he has a right to the lane and wouldn't move right. If he would not move to the right with cars behind him, then he is impeding traffic.
Either way it's sad that confrontation couldn't be avoided by common sense and common respect.
Ride Long and Prosper
Slo Joe Recumbo
(Joe provided the relevant law. I've edited it for brevity.)
Sec. 551.103. Operation on Roadway.
Except as provided by Subsection (b), a person operating a bicycle on a roadway who is moving slower than the other traffic on the roadway shall ride as near as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway, unless....(a) surface hazard prevents the person from safely riding next to the right curb or edge of the roadway...the person is operating a bicycle in an outside lane that is less than 14 feet in width and does not have a designated bicycle lane adjacent to that lane; or (is) too narrow for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to safely travel side by side.
Bicycles may ride on the shoulder
Sec. 545.058. Driving on Improved Shoulder. [i.e., a paved shoulder outside the traffic lane]
(a) An operator may drive on an improved shoulder to the right of the main traveled portion of a roadway if that operation is necessary and may be done safely, but only (among other things) to allow another vehicle traveling faster to pass...
First, an aside about the court proceeding in Ennis. As I understand it, there is no written record of it. That's how they handle local cases like this, and some witnesses said the judge did not give the jury the full text of the law in his instructions. Anywhere else that alone would be grounds for appeal and possibly reversal, but then again, I'm not an attorney.
However, Bob Mionske is an attorney, and he wrote this about the Selz case and impeding traffic in his book, Bicycling and the Law:
...the problem for the court was that, contrary to what the police officer believed, the statute does not prohibit slow-moving vehicles from impeding traffic....the Ohio court explained that if the statute did prohibit slow-moving vehicles from impeding traffic, "it would be tantamount to excluding operators of those vehicles from the public roadways, something that each legislative authority, respectively, has not clearly expressed an intention to do."..."a bicyclist is not in violation of the ordinance when he is traveling as fast as he reasonably can."...Because it's clear that the Ohio court interpreted the impeding traffic statute correctly, it seems likely that other courts would agree with Ohio.
'Other courts' evidently does not include Ennis, Texas.
Let's define what 'roadway' means. In most states, Texas included, the roadway is that traveled portion of the road exclusive of the shoulder. That's not my interpretation. It's the law. Given that the lawmakers decided to address the presence of a bicyclist or other slow-moving traffic on a roadway, they obviously expected cyclists to be using those roadways, not the adjacent shoulder. Otherwise, they would have written the law to exclude them. Surface hazards, etc., may induce a cyclist using the shoulder to swerve left and right into the traveled part of the road, posing an obvious hazard to himself and others. It's safer to stay in the roadway. That's makes a bicyclist's movements more predictable, and as we all know, being predictable is the very foundation of traffic law.
Also, absent a "designated bicycle lane adjacent to that lane" a bicyclist is not obligated to move to the right. The police tried to charge Bates with failure to use a bike lane - a charge that wouldn't stick because there are no designated bike lanes in Ennis.
Bicyclists may use the shoulder. Note it does not say that they must use the shoulder. This is a critical difference. But even when it says we may use the shoulder, it specifies that it's only if "it may be done safely." Who can better judge the condition and safety of a shoulder - a cyclist traveling at 15 mph, or a motorist driving at 50? What is 'safe' to a motorist surrounded by a ton or more of steel and glass may be something quite different to a bicyclist protected by a lycra jersey and a styrofoam hat.
Finally, one last thought, Joe. You're, well, um, you're a recumbent rider and as we all know, 'bent riders are the spawn of Satan. (Don't listen to Steve A when he says that I'm one of Satan's minions. Steve lies.)

bad typing? u want to use the typography like a x-mas card?
just ok
Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm
good execution n good idea.
In India, surrogate advertising is banned. One can't show alcoholic drink in the ad.
This must be a SCAM.
Hey guys
This is not an ad - it is a poster and in India you are allowed to show alcoholic drinks in BTL. Hope that answers any doubts about its autheenticity :-) And would be grateful to the guys who say it's done if they can provide a link or at least detail the ad and the brand.
er... really???
come on!!
as to the guest who asked for a link to prove it, well...
in general:
no, it's not a bad thing that you don't know every single idea ever had and aired.
yes, it's always easier to say it ran than showing it.
in this particular case:
yes, it's a bad thing to not only have this idea (by today's standards a very bad one)
but also to think it hadn't been done before. both in the 20th and 21st centuries.
as for proof, well, if you have to ask... : )
still, i'm sure super bock (a portuguese beer) did it. more than once, even.
good bloody idea either way. clever, cheeky, reverant, subtle and humbling. although any beer brand could use it. bit generic
Back to the 80's?
exactly the same idea Already done by Grey Bangalore for a beer pub called pecos during christmas of 2002...
shall upload it when i get the image...hopefully ivan can put it up...
that Grey poster done for Pecos beer pub was also finalist in some awrd shows...
will be back...cheers.
i like it...not only for india but for international edition...keeping up with the times and go global..
totally agreed very nice
gud one...

As the noon deadline from the U.S. Park Police drew near, McPherson Square filled with Occupiers, supporters, reporters and bystanders for what was supposed to be a near final confrontation between police and occupiers over the enforcement of the no camping in the park regulation. But the police never showed, instead the demonstrators draped the statue of General James Birdseye McPherson, the only commander of a Union army to die in the field, with a huge blue tarp from the neck down, like a giant skirt attached at the bottom to the wrought Iron perimeter fence. Inside there was enough space to hold scores of smaller tents and open space where Occupiers celebrated. Bystanders, mostly from the surrounding downtown Washington office buildings, strolled through on their lunch break, and most expressing some degree of support.

(CNN Money) — The U.S. Treasury and the IRS on Thursday put out new guidance and withholding tables for employers that incorporate changes from the new tax law.
Under those new tables, the Treasury estimates that 90% of people who get a paycheck are likely to see more in take-home pay, as soon as February. Employers will have until Feb. 15 to incorporate the changes in their payroll systems.
But for many taxpayers, they will need to assess whether the new tables really are withholding enough money so that they're not saddled with a big bill when they file their taxes next year.
The major changes affecting individuals include new tax brackets, (mostly) lower income tax rates, a near-doubling of the standard deduction and the elimination of both personal exemptions as well as many itemized deductions.
The new tables are designed not only to best approximate the change in workers' tax liability under the new law, but to do so in a way that "delivers benefits as soon as possible to as many people as possible with as little disruption as possible," a senior Treasury official told reporters.
The IRS is not issuing new Form W-4s … yet. "We've constructed the tables so that most people should be accurately withheld if they leave their W-4 in place," a senior IRS official noted.
Related: Will enough tax be withheld from your paycheck? Good question
The plan is to have new W-4s by 2019. Personal exemptions are a core feature of the current withholding system, but now that they are eliminated, "it's necessary to build a new approach to withholding, which will take some time," the senior IRS official said.
In the meantime, he urged filers who have complicated tax situations — i.e., anyone who is not single, childless and holding down just one job — to review the number of allowances they currently take on their W4s once the IRS puts out its new withholding calculator by the end of February.
Such a calculator will ask for anonymous inputs — for example, your income, number of dependents and other pieces of information that help determine whether you might be eligible for various tax breaks.
"We would encourage every taxpayer to run their information through the calculator. Then they can decide what they want to do," the senior IRS official said.
That's not bad advice for any year when there are big tax changes but it's especially critical this year.
Most people fill out their W-4 form when they're hired at a new job and don't change it unless they get married, have kids, get divorced or experience other life-changing situations.
And roughly three-quarters of tax filers are overwithheld because they take too few allowances. And that results in a refund when they file their tax returns. The IRS doesn't expect that to change much under the new tax law given the preference filers have shown for getting big refunds, rather than just breaking even or having to cut a new check to Uncle Sam when they file their returns.
Too good to be true?
Democrats are concerned the rushed withholding tables could leave many tax filers in a situation of potentially being underwithheld for tax year 2018 and therefore left owing money when they file their tax returns in early 2019.
"Republicans are using brute force and speed to implement a law that will deliver a financial blow to hardworking Americans all across the country," Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement.
Earlier this week, Wyden and Rep. Richard Neal, the top Democrat on the House tax-writing committee, asked the Government Accountability Office to analyze the new IRS tables to see if they might lead to systematic underwithholding of federal taxes from paychecks.
"I look forward to GAO's independent review of these tables, which will expose whether the Trump administration is tampering with Americans' paychecks, resulting in a whopping tax bill next year," Wyden said.
The GAO has said Wyden's request must go through its usual review process before a decision to proceed is made.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin at the White House press briefing on Thursday dismissed suspicions that administration is "juicing" the tables as a "ridiculous charge."

Thank you President Trump!
No thanks to Democrats!
Every paycheck that gets bigger, is a lost vote for democrats.
This benefits workers, no longer a Democrat constituency
It's clear now that the MSM, both political parties…they ALL intentionally wanted our economy, our country in tatters. It's been so easy to restore real growth, confidence, wages…and while this boom takes place, all they do the live long day is work to get rid of Trump who caused it. Get rid of Trump and we'll be right back to high taxes, paychk to paychk, working poor to fund DC's wealth. Wake up people and see what's happening.
And not one POS Democrat voted this.
well looks like trump has done what both parties could not do in 5 decades make america great again! with american's more and more proud of where they live on the globe! come on he has got all colors of people going back to work with stuffed wallets again and all we get from dems and msm is how unpc he is! well if he did call haiti and africa and others dirtbag countries then yes most people agree with him! have any of you whiners ever been to haitti? it's a pig farm and if you ever lived down wind of one you would know what i mean!
""Republicans are using brute force and speed to implement a law that will deliver a financial blow to hardworking Americans all across the country"
Yeah, those tax CUTS, more money in our pockets, will be such a financial blow, how will we cope?
The demtards are referring to the Central Americans
How would allowing 90% of Americans to keep more of their wages and salaries be a "financial blow to hardworking Americans?" The politicians in the Democratic Party are out-of-touch. Those bureaucrats think that they can spend our money better than we can.
They must be referring to the deadbeats that didn't pay any taxes and still got a return…
The Democrats are not out of touch. They're Progressives who want to tax everyone to death so they can control your life. They keep telling us they're the party of the middle class and all they've done is raise our taxes, ruined our healthcare when they promised they would fix it. They taxed the corporations so much that we lost millions of American jobs over the years. They had a chance to vote to cut taxes and instead they did and continue to do everything they can to demonize Trump.
Meant to say on the last line. They had a chance to vote to cut taxes and instead they did Nothing and continue to do everything they can to demonize Trump
Can't wait for Pelosi to insult the middle class by referring to the bigger pay checks as mere crumbs compared to her own pay check…
"Democrats are concerned the rushed withholding tables could leave many tax filers in a situation of potentially being underwithheld for tax year 2018 and therefore left owing money when they file their tax returns in early 2019."
Democrats are concerned taxpayers will see how much money they are saving before the next election.
No we won't have to pay more money when we file our taxes next year. The tax brackets have changed so you pay less for the year period.
Even "crumbs" are better than what Nancy was offering.
"I'm afraid you peons can't handle the added financial burden of bigger paychecks. Allow me to relieve you of some of that…" — Sen. Ron Wyden (D)
The contributing American citizens deserve some tax relief
Said no democrat ever.
The Democrats are already panicking. After Americans see their pay checks with more money they won't care what Party Trump belongs to. Everyone will be happy and vote for Trump in 2020.
Let's not forget that not one Democrat voted for tax breaks for the middle class. And they tell us they're the party for the working people. What they are is the Party of Tax & Spend.
Not a single Democrat voted for this. They only care about illegals and jihadi "refugees."
And that big blue tsunami the democrats were expecting for the midterms will turn into nothing more than a dripping faucet. And when taxpayers do their taxes in 2019 and get a return bigger than they have see in probably forever the dems can kiss the White House goodbye in 2020.
The Social Democrats are outraged at the notion of people keeping more of what they earned whereas the 'crats derive their power from taking what others have earned and redistributing it for votes.
Power to the People! MAGA!
Not one Democrat voted for tax cuts for the middle class, whom they "champion". Liars. The establishment Republicans are no better. It is good to see the swamp draining, slow,…..but draining. #MAGA
I would camp out all night to vote out democrats! President Trump continues to steam roll the America Hating Democrats. My 401k is up almost $100,000 in one year!!! God Bless President Trump and God Bless the Republicans! MAGA 2018 and beyond!
Uhh would you mind sharing some tickers?
Democrats stated that only the wealthy would benefit.
Democrats couldn't have been lying again, as per usual, could they?
Another inconvenient truth for the demorats.
Schumer: It's a trick!
Pelosi: We're all gonna die!
Most of the comments so far are from stupid people too dumb to realize that less taxes withheld means either a) MORE money they must pay to Uncle Sam
when they file next spring, or b) a smaller refund.
If this is such a good idea, why withhold ANY tax money from paychecks?
You DO understand that taxes will be LOWER for most people, right? Which is why it makes sense for the amount withheld to be lower as well. What part of "We've constructed the tables so that most people should be accurately withheld if they leave their W-4 in place" are you having trouble understanding?
And what part of "Most of the comments so far are from stupid people too dumb to realize that less taxes withheld means either a) MORE money they must pay to Uncle Sam when they file next spring, or b) a smaller refund" do YOU fail to understand?.
As Pelosi so elitistly said, these are just crumbs. Nancy Marie Antoinette.
BHO promised "the average American family will receive $2,500 healthcare insurance savings", if the DNC crammed the ACA through Congress during Christmas.
They did and the opposite resulted.
DJT crammed a tax cut through the RNC…
People are getting significant returns THREE months later.
It's really the difference in a business approach by a man who personally built a significant business enterprise.
A theoretical approach, by a man who was adjunct professor,a community organizer and part time Senator.
That will be pretty easy to market in August / September 2018…
Mrs Warren…
Mr. Sanders…
Maybe we all can take a vacation and go to Hait and stay in one of thier luxury outhouses.
This is how you win 50 states in the next election. Democrats are so greedy for power they are not capable of putting Americans first.
I started getting more on my paycheck last Friday It was enough to pay for the gas in my car for the week And i also got a $50 a week raise THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

Cincinnati Reds Tickets
Cincinnati Reds Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
A frustrated Reds franchise has entered 2016 unsure of how to move forward. There is definitely star-level talent in Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips, but a host of obstacles have prevented the roster from reaching its potential. Bruce has yet to solve a major hitting issue and isn't the player he was. Phillips has lost a step offensively and defensively. Meanwhile, Frazier has emerged as the offensive leader of the lineup. Anthony DeSclafani leads a rotation that's on the rebuild. Defensive whiz shortstop Zack Cozart has randomly added an offensive threat he's never shown before, and Billy Hamilton can't be stopped on the basepaths. For consistent success down the stretch, however, they'll need more consistency offensively. But the talent is there, and loyal Reds fans have plenty to watch on the field. The Reds play in modern Great American Ball Park on the river. The park is still a home run launching pad, making an exciting fan experience. This summer is a great time to see a talented Reds team in Cincy. Gold Coast Tickets has the hookup for the best seats at Reds games--give us a call today!

Create a grading rubric with student input. Rubistar is a great place to design rubrics. Project Based Checklists is another place to help keep students on track with their projects.
Example Driving Questions:
- How can we best stop the flu at our school?
- Is it worth the expense to move to an organic diet?
- Which element of the periodic table is most important?
- Should the U.S. use the metric system?
- Which simple machine is most important to you?
- Should government bail out businesses?
- Is it better to buy or lease a car?
- What if Rosa Parks never gave up her seat?
- Design a better lunch menu for your school.
- What if students use their own mobile devices in school?
What Makes a Good Vice President video example on YouTube.
Add parameters to the driving question to ensure that standards are met.
What makes a good vice president?
- Include the branch of government the position is part of.
- Include the roles and powers of the position.
- Explain how someone is elected or appointed to the position.
- Include information about at least two people who have held the position.
- Explain the role of the position in Gerald Ford's succession to presidency.

Driving Question Tips
- Where are the standards/content used in the real world?
- Cannot be answered with copy and paste
- Will the result create something new?
- Student voice and choice
- Personal and/or local
- What? What if? Which?
Refine the Question
- Shorten as much as possible.
- Question should appeal to students.
- Make it personal or local.
- Leads to more questions.
- As much room for student voice and choice as possible.
A driving question should lead to more questions. For example, in Use facts and statistics to convince others to stop your pet peeve, Tony's driving question lead to these questions to drive his investigation about shopping carts:
- How much do door dings raise car insurance premiums?
- Is there a time or day when more carts are left in the lot?
- What is the affect of the distance of the cart return from the vehicle?
- Why don't people return their carts?
- How many parking spots are taken up by left carts.
- Why does Phoenix seem to have a larger problem with returning carts than Omaha?
- What if the cart return was a strip down the middle of each row?
Scribblar is an online whiteboard that can be shared among many people. The Scribblar whiteboard we used is at tonyv.me/ddq. iPad users can use Idea Sketch for branching questions, but it's not collaborative like Scriblar.
An anchor or opening activity gets students excited, interested, and curious about the topic of the driving question.
Edutopia has great videos about project-based learning.
Students explore the answers to their questions through books, web, interviews, experiments, and/or data collection.
Remember that anyone can put anything on the web. Students need to be sleuths and approach their questions as a mystery that other may be trying to cover up.
