A regular, established practice of posting bills online when they're sent him by Congress would fulfill President Obama's Sunlight Before Signing promise, made to roars of applause on the campaign trail. It would allow Americans easy access to the most important part of what Congress and the president do.
But posting bills before Congress passes them, getting a jump on the five days of public review the president promised, seriously undercuts the value of Sunlight Before Signing.
This morning, Whitehouse.gov is displaying on its pending legislation page a link to "H.R. 1586 - To impose an additional tax on bonuses received from certain TARP recipients." This bill has not been passed by both houses of Congress nor presented to the president.
H.R. 1586 is a "shell bill" that Congress has been batting back and forth, and it has covered various subject matters in its busy life. It indeed started out as a bill to tax the bonuses of executives in TARP-subsidized firms. When it passed the House, though, it had become the "Aviation Safety and Investment Act of 2010." And this week it was amended in the Senate to contain a potpourri of spending and revenue programs. (WashingtonWatch.com cost estimate: $125 per U.S. family.)
Lets say a high schooler has been assigned by her teacher to monitor the bills President Obama receives from Congress. From the White House's pending legislation page, she clicks on a link to find a bewildering hodgepodge of bill versions on the Thomas page for the bill. (Click on the image at right to see a screen capture.)
And none of the bill versions has passed Congress! Thomas, the Library of Congress' legislative tracking service, tells visitors that the last bill listed is most recent. But the current version of the bill is item four of six, referred to as the "XXXXXXAct ofXXXX." Thanks to Whitehouse.gov, our high schooler is misled into believing that President Obama will soon sign a tax on bonuses given to TARP-slurping executives when in fact a variety of other policies may soon pass.
The promise to post bills online for five days was a simple, common-sense transparency rule. It's flabbergasting to find that it can't be carried out in a simple, methodical way to give life to the idea that the people are entitled to oversee the government.
You get a bill from Congress, you post it. You wait five days, you sign it. Promise fulfilled! It's not rocket science. Pre-posting is not OK.

(Malone Procedure; Antegrade Colonic Enema Procedure)
An appendicostomy is the creation of a pathway from your belly button to the large intestine. The pathway is created using your own body tissue, the appendix. Using your own body tissue instead of an artificial tube will decrease the chance of irritation.
The Appendix Can Be Used to Deliver Enemas
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Reasons for Procedure
An appendicostomy is done to help deliver enemas more easily. Enemas are fluids that are placed into the large intestines to soften stool and relieve constipation. The fluids help clean out the intestines when there is a problem with the intestines or stool. Enemas may be needed in children with spina bifida, spinal injuries, Hirschprung's disease, or constipation not relieved by medical care.
Enemas are normally given through the rectum. This can make it difficult for people to deliver the enemas to themselves. For older children, it can be difficult to have rectal enemas delivered by their parents. An appendicostomy can allow more independence for these children.
Possible Complications
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Excess bleeding
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia such as light-headedness, low blood pressure, or wheezing
- Infection
- Leakage of tube or appendix
- Narrowed or blocked tube that requires a second surgery to fix it
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
What to Expect
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will need to make sure that enemas are effective for your condition. You will also need to show good fecal control with enemas. Good control is staying clean for at least 24 hours after emptying your bowels.
You may need to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia is used. You will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure
A small cut will be made just below the belly button. The tip of the appendix will also be opened. The opened end will then be attached to an opening in the belly button. If the appendix has been removed previously, a new one will be created from the large intestine. A valve will then be placed at this connection. The valve allows the enema to flow in but keeps fluids from leaking out.
A tube will be passed through the belly button and valve. The tip of the tube will stay in the appendix. The end of the tube will remain outside of the belly button. The tube will be taped into place. This tube will stay in place for 2-4 weeks after the surgery until the area heals.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2 hours
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
The length of stay may be 1-5 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
At the Care Center
You will be shown how to care for your tube and deliver enemas.
Enema will be given within 24 hours of the first meal. Although, you may need to wait longer if a new appendix was created.
At Home
When you return home, take these steps:
- Follow your doctor's instructions on cleaning the incision site. Leave the incision open to air.
- Some leakage is normal. Try to keep area dry.
- Avoid vigorous sports or activity until you have recovered after surgery
- Once recovered there should be no activity restrictions, including swimming.
Follow instruction to care for your tube. General steps include:
- Leave the tube in place after surgery until your doctor lets you know it is okay to remove it.
- Tape the tube in place while you heal. This will keep the tube in ideal position.
- Follow directions to place and use the tube once you have healed.
Call Your Doctor
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Have trouble using the tube
- Tube falls out before healing time is done
- Pain that is not controlled with medication
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Abdominal pain
- Trouble passing enema through tube
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Bernadette Pajer pens a historical mystery set in UW electrical engineering lab
It's the spring of 1901, and a UW electrical engineering professor lies dead in the basement of Denny Hall, found inside a mysterious contraption built as part of a student exhibition.
The colleague who discovered the body is soon both the prime suspect and the lead investigator trying to solve the case.
It's not history, but a newly published mystery novel, written by UW Bothell graduate Bernadette Pajer and set more than a century ago on the UW campus. Though the story is fictional, the details of the setting, the time period and the technology are real.
The story's protagonist is Benjamin Bradshaw, a widower, father and professor of electrical engineering. The victim is an older colleague, Professor Wesley Oglethorpe, whose many enemies include colleagues and students. The fast-paced whodunit is a romp across the UW campus, the Seattle region and American politics at the turn of the century.
Pajer, a first-time published author, had tried her hand at contemporary and historical romances when, about a decade ago, she thought up the setting for A Spark of Death.
She is a 2003 graduate of UW Bothell's Culture, Literature and the Arts program. But she says she knew that Bradshaw had to be a UW professor of electrical engineering. (It may not be entirely coincidental that her husband is a foreman working on power lines.) She also knew the story had to take place at the beginning of the 20th century.
"It was the most revolutionary time in electrical engineering," Pajer says. "Everything was happening at this time. You had inventors, and engineers, in laboratories in basements, launching us into the modern age. And I just find that very exciting."
The storyline blends mystery and historical fact in a frontier Seattle. The action takes place in what is now known as Denny Hall, then simply the UW's Administration Building (Denny Hall was the name of the auditorium).
The university at that time had a very young president, 32-year-old Frank Graves, who is modeled on the actual historical figure.
Pajer's descriptions of students draw on her experience as a UW engineering student in the early 1980s. After two years Pajer decided to leave engineering, but she still enjoys learning about technology.
"I'm fascinated by science," Pajer said. "I love looking things up and figuring out exactly how it ticks. And I love all the old inventions."
Pajer says she tries not to weigh down the story with historical detail, but she makes sure that all the details in the story are correct so readers will feel immersed in the time and place. Bradshaw's friend, for example, works at a construction site for the re-grading of Denny Hill. A pivotal scene takes place on a tour of the Snoqualmie Falls Electrical Power Plant, then newly built.
After completing a first draft largely from imagination, Pajer visited the UW Libraries' Special Collections and discovered that the local historical facts matched the story's details surprisingly well. The UW did, in fact, have an engineering department in 1901. A yearbook shows that students did put on an exhibition in the spring of 1901 that included a Tesla coil. President McKinley had planned a visit to Seattle that was cancelled due to his wife's illness.
In Special Collections she went through boxes containing former professors' belongings. She found a map showing Seattle complete with streetcar lines from the period; her photocopy is now dog-eared from use.
Writing the book also involved extensive research on electrical theory and history. She visited Bellingham's American Museum of Radio & Electricity to see Leyden Jars, static electricity machines and early Tesla coils firsthand. From antique stores and used bookstores she built up a personal collection of old textbooks.
"Electricity was so new then that when they wrote an instruction manual for somebody it was explicit," Pajer said. "They were so graphic in their descriptions, it's fantastic."
Pajer even used Google Books search to look up specific questions, such as: 'When was creosote first used as a preservative on power poles?' or to check how scientists at that time would carry out a certain procedure.
"Because my setting is so long ago, everything is in the public domain," Pajer said. "I can get my hands on the same books that Professor Bradshaw had his hands on."
The book features electricity both for Bradshaw's profession and as key plot elements. After the book had been accepted for publication, Pajer gave a draft to Bill Beaty, a research engineer in the UW's chemistry department who in his spare time writes a website for science hobbyists, for scientific fact-checking.
"It's excellent," Beaty said of the book, which gets his technical and literary seal of approval.
"Characters who would be called terrorists now were called anarchists back then," he said. "Instead of Bradshaw having a brother that's involved in crackpot Internet scams, he has a friend who's involved in crackpot gold-prospecting scams. It's showing that all the ancient themes repeat – everything that's old is new again."
A Spark of Death is the first installment in the planned Professor Bradshaw series. The next book, which is due out next summer, has already been written and takes place in the fall of 1901. The plot involves a missing peddler's child and a burgeoning telephone technology.
As the series progresses, Bradshaw will keep his day job at the UW, but he will continue to solve mysteries. His son will hang up a placard for "Forensic Electrical Engineer," and Bradshaw will be called on to investigate incidents involving electricity and to determine whether the incident was an accident or involved foul play. He also will develop a reputation for solving crimes, and local police will occasionally call on him to help with investigations.
The full arc of the 15-book series will span the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, World War I and other events in political and technical history.
"I always want to feature a different electrical technology that's on the cusp," Pajer said, "and what's going on in the world at the time, and most importantly, make it a good story."
A Spark of Death was published in 2011 by Poisoned Pen Press and distributed by Ingram. The book is available at locations including the University Book Store, the UW Libraries, the Seattle Public Library, and online.

I knew I wanted to hang a grouping of them, but didn't want to spend a fortune on frames, so I went with my $5 WalMart frames without a mat.
I hung them immediately in my dining room, but did a terrible job- they were totally uneven and I grouped all 8 together on a larger wall opposite the window. They hung that way for months until my husband was kind enough to rehang them perfectly straight for me onto two walls. He is so good at hanging pictures, curtain rods, etc., but HATES doing it, complains constantly the whole time, and chides me for not being able to do it myself. I don't mind, because in the end, it looks like this:
See how unique and pretty the images are?!
And I kept the calendar part exposed because I thought it added great character to the art.
So I have to give a big ole hug to my friend Stephanie. I'm so glad I am finally getting to share with you how the calendar looks framed and hanging in our dining room. And I am so touched that she thought of me and cared enough to consider what would look nice in my home. I really do take the suggestions of readers to heart and often find myself incorporating your opinions into my design process at home.
And you know how I "met" Stephanie? When I found her Pantry Makeover, and then, being so impressed with her fabric lined walls, emailed her to ask about how she did it. She wrote me right back and we quickly started exchanging emails and checking in on each others' blogs. I actually ended up lining the back of our sitting room shelves with fabric too.
If you aren't familiar with Stephanie's story or her work, I encourage you to check it out. You won't be disappointed. This girl has major talent and, as you now know, a huge heart.

Kenzo Animal-Print Watersnake ClutchCategories:Other Brands
Sometimes I blog because there's something new/fun/desirable that I just have to share with you guys. Other times I blog because it's my way of keeping an online record of what I liked when, and we all know how useful blogs are when chronologising such things.
Today's share is the Kenzo Animal-Print Watersnake Clutch, which is here for 2 reasons. Firstly, I need not stress how big clutches are this season (and probably for the next 17 to come), so if you haven't yet acquired one, this could be it. Secondly, with the craze for everything leopard-printed-including-the-shoes-bags-and-RTW that's Kenzo-related and rather pricey, this clutch could be one of the more affordable pieces you could get yet.
Measuring 20.5 cm by 15.5 cm, this unisex clutch is semi-glossy watersnake clouded leopard on one side, and shiny patent tiger stripes (yes, really) on the other. Priced atGBP127 over at Net-A-Porter (which makes it just over SGD250), it's exactly what I said in the beginning, that it would make a memorable collectible (that's also affordable) for fans of this collection.

Kenzo Signature Prints Urban BackpackCategories:Other Brands
There's no denying how important backpacks are in this day and age, especially with the resurgence in recent years when it went from every schoolboy's grubby excuse for a bag to today's designer must-have. Which brings us to the subject of today's post, the Kenzo Signature Prints Urban Backpack which you can now find via SSENSE. Made primarily of nylon with a mish-mash of most everything Kenzo you've either come to love or loathe, it's the type of bag that's also guaranteed to stop people in their tracks and/or turn heads.
Measuring some 24 cm across by 38 cm in height, the unisex backpack is also pretty functional, with an additional strap sling at the side which would allow you to also wear it as a messenger of sorts. Packing multiple pockets that are everywhere from the front of the backpack to the interior where there are a myriad of storage options, you can pick up them via SSENSE for USD490 a pop. 4 designs in all are available, and you might also want to note that any spend above USD500 will get you free international shipping which isn't so bad at all.

Kenzo Multi-Logo PouchCategories:Other Brands
Every time I tell myself I'm done with flat zip pouches that hold next to nothing, something will come along and suck me back in. This time that honour goes to the Kenzo Multi-Logo Pouch, which is a culmination of most everything the brand has done in the last few seasons. The Flying Tigers print from F/W13? Check. The eye and the fish from S/S14? Check, and check. Even the monochrome tiger head, which came out on a couple of RTW and SLG pieces is also here, making it a triple whammy.
In other words, most everything you ever loved about Kenzo's iconic prints can now be yours, all for the low, low price of EUR125, which is also why I'm tempted to get this 30 cm by 22 cm zip pouch for myself. The only saving grace? It's only available via Kenzo and they don't ship internationally, which means I won't be able to get it anyway.
And if you see it elsewhere online that ships to Singapore or the region, don't tell me. No, tell me. Really.

A very significant part of our work focuses on developing and publishing inspiring, challenging and engaging mathematics education and public understanding resources. Our resources are freely accessible to all online (on our very successful NRICH website and Plus online maths magazine), and are used by hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and members of the public worldwide.
NRICH - maths education resources developing confident, creative problem-solvers
Our NRICH website publishes free mathematics enrichment and education resources for ages 3 to 19 and teachers.
NRICH specialises in rich mathematical tasks which focus on problem-solving and take a low-threshold high-ceiling approach. The resources are designed to build students' confidence, mathematical reasoning, thinking skills and ability to take the initiative. The aim of NRICH is to enrich the mathematical experience of all students and develop confident, creative, resourceful problem-solvers.
The resources on the site cover all stages of Early Years (ages 3 to 5), primary (ages 5 to 11) and secondary (ages 11 to 18) school education, right through to resources supporting students' transition from A-level to the first year of university.
Tailored pathways on the NRICH website support students working independently and teachers looking for classroom resources. All the resources include detailed teacher support material. Curriculum mapping guides help teachers to promote rich mathematical thinking in the classroom.
NRICH is also closely involved with the new DfE-funded Underground Mathematics project, creating online resources to support and enhance A-level mathematics education.
Plus - popular understanding of mathematics web magazine
Plus is a free online mathematics magazine aimed at the interested and intelligent general reader, including older students (16+). Plus articles and podcasts cover topics ranging from what string theory predicts about hidden dimensions, or whether parallel universes might exist, to climate change modelling and the applications of maths in medicine.
News items both uncover the hidden maths behind media headline and report news from the world of mathematical research, while interviews and podcasts present the human face of maths.
In July 2001 the site won the prestigious international Webby award for the best Science site on the Internet, joining winners in other categories including CNN, the BBC and National Geographic.
Wild Maths - encouraging mathematical creativity
Mathematics is a creative subject. It involves spotting patterns, making connections, finding new ways of looking at things and using what you already know in new contexts. Creative mathematicians play around with examples, draw pictures, have the courage to experiment and ask good questions.
We have always aimed to encourage creative thinking, curiosity, exploration, discussion and discovery. The free mathematics education resources for ages 3 to 19 on our hugely successful NRICH site support teachers in engaging all learners with rich, rewarding mathematical activities, while our free online magazine Plus, for older readers, is packed with stories exploring the results of mathematical creativity and discovery.
Our new Wild Maths project aims to take this one step further, providing rich and open-ended resources - mathematical activities, games, investigations and further reading - designed to give opportunities to explore, imagine, experiment and create. The Wild Maths resources are aimed at ages 7 to 16, and designed for children and teenagers working individually, or with a parent.
Maths and Sport
To celebrate London 2012, we developed free online resources exploring maths and science through the Olympic and Paralympic Games for our Maths and Sport project.
Resources include rich mathematical activities for Key Stages 1 to 5, articles, and video maths challenges produced with input from us by BBC Two Learning Zone. We also developed a small collection of activities on Maths and Football in collaboration with Arsenal in the Community. The free Maths and Sport resources remain available online at sport.maths.org.
'Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games' was a partner project in the London 2012 Get Set + education programme and was awarded the Inspire Mark, the badge of the London 2012 Inspire programme. The London 2012 Inspire Programme recognised exceptional and innovative projects that were directly inspired by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Motivate - free online multi-media resource packs
Our long-running Motivate programme created links between university researchers and schools for over a decade, initially via live video-conferences. While the live programme ended in 2010, we also developed free online multi-media resource packs for Key Stages 2 to 4, working with mathematicians from research and industry to explore maths in real and engaging contexts including medical research, healthcare and archaeology. The packs are based round video-clips of the expert speakers with accompanying investigative tasks, including worksheets and teachers' notes. Topics covered include Maths and our Health (KS3/4), Disease Dynamics (KS4) and Babylonian Maths (KS2/3).

Q: How is HDBaseT technology different than others?
A: Unlike other HD distribution technologies, HDBaseT is the only technology which enables CAT5/6/7 connectivity from 70 meters to 100 meters, depending upon the specific product, for uncompressed full HD multimedia content and up to 100 watts of charging power via a single cable. HDBaseT is optimized for video applications and can connect all HDBaseT enabled home entertainment devices. Also, HDBaseT technology has the capacity to deliver double the resolution available today to future 2K and 4K formats. Other existing solutions also require a specific cable and/or a new proprietary connector while HDBaseT utilizes the existing Ethernet infrastructure. These WolfPack HDBaseT matrix systems have with (POC) Power Over Ethernet so you don't need AC adapters.
HDMI HDBaseT Extender Helpful Tips & Recommendations:
- Keep cables away from any equipment with an electromagnetic wave, e.g., mobile phone, microwave, radio equipment, fluorescent lamp, high voltage power lines, etc.
- CAT5/6 cables should not exceed 220 feet or (70m).
- Please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B standards when terminating network cables in the field.
- Shielded CAT5/6 with metal RJ-45 connectors are recommended to safeguard against random video flashes caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).

- How to Read a Study Record
- Gemcitabine and carboplatin are chemotherapy drugs used to treat several types of cancer, including cancer of the pancreas, bladder, ovaries, and lung. Lenalidomide, a drug that prevents the growth of new blood vessels in tumors, has been approved for treatment of certain blood cancers, but it has not yet been approved for use in combination with gemcitabine and carboplatin. Researchers are interested in determining the safest and most effective dose of this combined form of chemotherapy for solid tumors, particularly for urothelial cancer (tumors of the bladder, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis).
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combined lenalidomide, gemcitabine, and carboplatin as a treatment for solid tumor cancers.
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combined lenalidomide, gemcitabine, and carboplatin as a treatment for urothelial (bladder) cancer.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with urothelial cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
- Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood tests, and tumor imaging studies.
- Participants with urothelial cancer will receive lenalidomide alone for the first 14 days of a 21-day cycle before starting the first full treatment cycle.
- All participants will receive gemcitabine on days 1 and 8, and carboplatin on day 1 only, of every 21-day treatment cycle. Lenalidomide will be taken daily at home for the first 14 days of each cycle. Participants will be asked to take aspirin or other medications to prevent the possibility of blood clots.
- Participants may receive up to six cycles of treatment with this combination. If after six cycles the cancer has not grown or has shrunk, participants may continue to take lenalidomide alone for an additional 6 months (total of 12 months of therapy) or until the cancer recurs.
- Participants will be monitored with blood samples, physical examinations, and tumor imaging studies through the cycles of treatment.
- After the end of the last treatment cycle, participants will have followup visits every 3 months for the next 18 months, then every 6 months for another 18 months, and then yearly.

Here we are at the end of another wonderful sports year in the great City of Houston.
Can it get any better than this? Well, yeah, but let's try to make the best of a bad situation.
Oh, I know some of you expect me to be negative all the time, but I have no problem looking on the bright side.
I don't do New Year's resolutions, but I'll do a New Year's Eve resolution and vow not to say anything negative about the local sports teams until 2011.
You might believe that if I just think about Houston sports at all today I would break my resolution. I'm not worried.
I have a plan. I'll see True Grit this afternoon and sleep in the early evening.
Then, when I count down to midnight, I won't go the traditional 10, 9, 8 … etc., because standard reflection might be too challenging. We do have worthy No. 1s in Yates boys' basketball and Pearland's football squads' drives to state titles, and TSU claiming the SWAC championship.
But what do I do about the big boys? Does Houston have anything positive to hang its hat on?
You betcha.
Forget the 10-to-1 countdown, I'm going to think happy thoughts of the glorious 15-10-5 our major professional teams provided us this past year and go into Auld Lang Syne imagining what greatness the future holds for the Big Three.
(And please, help me keep my resolution by not ending the year arguing whether the Dynamo make it a Big Four.)
Tonight, when my countdown gets to 15, I'll be thinking about those wonderful Houston Astros.
Sweet 15, baby.
They posted their 15th worst record of all-time last summer and finished 15 games back in their division, but you just wait until those 15 kids (actually, it's 13, but that's an unlucky number) on the roster age 25-and-younger grow up … championship!
When my countdown gets to 10, I'll be thinking about those "scrappy" Houston Rockets as Chris Bosh described them.
I always dreamed about covering a little scrappy basketball team. Who wants to cover those big tall, talented teams filled with superstars and championship dreams?
Would you rather date a 10, or a woman that's scrappy?
This year the 10-deep Rockets had one of the 10 worst seasons in franchise history, and finished 10 games further back in the division standings than they did in the previous two seasons combined, but Daryl Morey was just getting warmed up in those first two years, and when Yao gets back from, what, his 10th major injury … championship!
When my countdown gets to 5, I'll hoist it high-five for those resilient Houston Texans. God love 'em.
Those five years Houston went without an NFL team were like five years in prison. Well, not prison, but it wasn't fun. Isn't this so much better?
The Texans might once again be among the laughing stock of the NFL with just five wins, but think about it, this is only the Texans' fifth double-digit loss season in franchise history, and they could get a top-five draft pick, and with the right choice … championship!
So, hold up a glass with me tonight 15 … 10 … 5 …
All together now: "Championships!"
See ya next year.
Only a few of you were upset at my Fan Appreciation Day column – my e-mail is running about 20-1 in favor of it — but if you are at all concered about my reaching next year without breaking the above resolution (why would you be?), stop, no STOP sending me e-mail saying Tom Landry didn't do better than GaryKubiak in his first five years on the job.
Please, just let me get to next year before we go down that road.

Teaching Ambassador Fellows
On July 10, Secretary Spellings announced the selection of 25 teachers for Teaching Ambassador Fellowships with the U.S. Department of Education for 2008-09. Five Washington Fellows (Stephanie Canada, elementary physical education, Shawnee, OK; Jonathan Eckert, seventh-grade science, Franklin, TN; Steven Hicks, kindergarten and first-grade, Los Angeles, CA; Bobbi Houtchens, high school English and English as a Second Language, San Bernardino, CA; and Julie Shively, fourth- and fifth-grade gifted math, Lawrenceville, GA) will become full-time Department employees in Washington, D.C., for one year, engaging in policy discussions, working with different program offices, and participating in a variety of projects. Twenty Classroom Fellows will remain in their classrooms and be paid for assignments throughout the school year on a part-time basis. "I know we will benefit from the fellows' knowledge and experience in the classroom," the Secretary said. "While the Department offers multiple avenues for teachers to participate in policy discussions, this is truly a unique opportunity+. I hope it becomes part of the fabric at the U.S. Department of Education for many years to come." More than 1,000 teachers across the U.S. applied for the fellowships. Representing 22 states, all grade spans, and a range of subjects, fellows were selected based on their clear impact on student achievement, record of leadership, and potential for contribution to both the Department and the field. The program kicked-off this week with an orientation and policy conference in Washington. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/07/07102008.html.
NCLB Update
The Department has published Fiscal Year 2008 Title I allocations by school district. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, districts must spend an amount equal to 20% of their Title I, Part A allocation to cover public school choice-related transportation costs and pay for supplemental educational services (SES). Districts have some discretion to determine the allocation of funds between the activities, but they must use at least one-quarter (5%) of the 20% "reservation" on each activity, if the cost of satisfying demand for each exceeds 5%. Moreover, for each student receiving SES, districts are required to pay the lesser of the actual cost of such services or an amount equal to the district's Title I, Part A allocation divided by the number of poor children within the district, as determined by Census Bureau estimates. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/titlei/fy08/. (Note: Due to state-level adjustments of Title I allocations, the amounts received by districts will be smaller than shown.)
Speaking of SES, on July 7, the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) announced a new grant competition to encourage the establishment or expansion of partnerships between supplemental educational services programs and 21st Century Community Learning Centers projects, in order to increase the academic achievement of low-income students in Title I schools identified for improvement, correction action, or restructuring. Through this demonstration, OII will fund proposals that will serve as national models of how these two federally authorized after-school initiatives can be coordinated so that a greater number of students enroll in, participate in, and complete academic after-school services. A "notice of intent" to apply is due July 21, while the deadline for applications is August 12. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/sesdemo/. (Note: In the near future, the Department will be holding a technical assistance conference call for interested applicants. Details will be posted on the program's web site.)
IDEA Determination Letters
As required by statute, the Department recently issued determination letters regarding states' implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Each state was evaluated on key indicators under Part B (ages 3 through 21) and Part C (infants through age 2) and placed into one of four categories: meets requirements, needs assistance, needs intervention, and needs substantial intervention. Staff carefully considered states' Annual Performance Reports, information obtained through monitoring visits, and other public records. Overall, most states fell into the top two categories. Thirteen states earned the highest rating for Part B, and 21 states earned the top rating for Part C. No states were in the lowest category on either part. For states in the lower categories, the IDEA identifies technical assistance or actions which the agency must take under specific circumstances. The Department will work with states that need assistance or intervention using its network of technical assistance centers. New determination letters are issued annually. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/policy/speced/guid/idea/monitor/factsheet.html.
Student Loans Guide
The Department and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have published a consumer guide to help students and their families navigate the maze of offers they may face when seeking new student loans or consolidating existing loans to pay for higher education. The new guide, "Student Loans: Avoiding Deceptive Offers," provides detailed information about the different benefits and terms of federal and private loans, as well as tips on recognizing questionable practices. The guide also includes several resources for information about student loans and filing a complaint against various types of lenders. "As we carry out our commitment to ensure the availability of federal student loans, we must also make sure that students and their families are armed with critical information to help them recognize and avoid deceptive lending practices," Secretary Spellings explained. "This brochure will help families be wise consumers of higher education and financial aid." For more information, please go to http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre43.shtm.
Meanwhile, today (July 18), the Secretary will address the 2008 Higher Education Summit, "A Test of Leadership: Committing to Advance Postsecondary Education for All Americans," in Chicago. She will challenge participants to build on the efforts of her Commission on the Future of Higher Education (see http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/), as well as discuss global competitiveness and the workforce needs of the 21st century.
STEM Progress Report
This week, Tapping America's Potential (TAP), a coalition of 16 leading U.S. business organizations, released a report assessing the progress made over the last three years toward the TAP goal of doubling the number of students earning bachelor's degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The report, "Gaining Momentum, Losing Ground," indicates that, while the number of degrees rose early in the decade (from 201,055 degrees in 2001 to 208,243 in 2002 and 220,360 in 2003), the number of degrees has leveled off at about 225,000 per year -- substantially off track of reaching 400,000 by 2015. The report also updates TAP's recommendations for advancing U.S. competitiveness: boosting and sustaining funding for basic research; reforming visa and immigration policies to enable the U.S. to attract and retain STEM students from around the world; upgrading K-12 math and science teaching; and building public understanding and support. For more information, please go to http://www.tap2015.org/news/tap_2008_progress.pdf.
Monitoring America's Children
The 2008 edition of "America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being," compiled by the 22-member Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, presents indicators in seven sections: family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health. In 2007, the report cited under education, scores of fourth- and eighth-graders on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) were higher in math than in all previous assessments and higher in reading than in 2005. Other favorable changes: a decline in childhood (ages 5-14) deaths from injuries (from 8.2 per 100,000 children in 2004 to 7.7 per 100,000 in 2005) and a decrease in the percentage of eighth-graders who smoked daily (from 10% in 1996 to 4% in 2006 and 3% in 2007). On the other hand, there was an increase in low birth weight infants (less than five pounds, eight ounces), and the birth rate among adolescent girls (ages 15-17) increased for the first time in 15 years.

Quote to Note
"[W]e are shifting our educational center of gravity away from generic traditions and toward the needs of the individual -- more mobile, more connected, and more familiar with technology than ever before…. Imagine Cup finalist Louis Sayers said it well -- 'There's no one telling us that we can't do something. If we don't like [it], we change it, and, at the end of the day, we know that [it] was built by us.' That is how we build a global platform for collaboration. It is the opposite of isolation. And it's exactly what we need right now!"
|Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (7/7/08), delivering remarks at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Education Leaders Forum in Paris
Note: The U.S. Department of State is calling for applications for the U.S. Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship.

ORIGINAL (12:04 PM) The first exit polls from today's big Greek election are out...
The Conservative New Democracy party looks to have secured the largest vote (17 - 20%).
Crucially it does not look like ND and its rival center-left PASOK have secured 39-40% of the vote, falling short of the support they needed to win 151 seats in the parliament. The lack of a majority could spell trouble for the passage of more austerity measures to comply with with the terms of Greece's second bailout.
Stunningly, anti-austerity left-coalition Syriza (15.5 - 18.5%) seems to have the second largest share of the votes, surpassing the typically more popular PASOK.
Golden Dawn, the far right party that has caused much controversy in the country, looks set to win around 6 - 8% of the vote and enter Greek parliament.
Here's a picture of the poll results via Greek TV:
UPDATE (1:47 PM ET): The newest round of exit polls are out from NET (via @lindayueh):
New Democracy: 19-20.5% Syriza: 15.5-17.7% PASOK: 13-14%
Once again, this does not appear to give New Democracy and PASOK enough votes to form a coalition on their own.
UPDATE (2:53 PM ET): According to Dow Jones, the Interior Ministry has said that New Democracy and PASOK will hold a one-seat majority. Even so, PASOK head Evangelos Venizelos has called for a national unity government, saying that the mandate provided to the two pro-eurozone parties in the election was not clear.
Via eKathimerini, these are the official interior ministry estimates:
New Democracy: 20.91%, 114 seats Styriza: 15.27%, 47 seats PASOK: 14.55%, 44 seats Independent Greeks: 10.20%, 31 seats Communists: 8.27%, 25 seats Golden Dawn: 6.76%, 21 seats Democratic Left: 5.90%, 18 Seats

LaVentana Mexico.... the incredible baja.. yes you can drink the water and also this is a very safe area of Mexico the 1000 mile drive makes it so. Kind of hard to commit a big crime and drive away 1000 miles. In fact LaPaz for our big city is rated in the top safest cities in north america.
OK even safer is LaVentana a town of 600 that grows to 2,000 in the winter as the Canadians and Americans and a few Germans arrive. We are 30 Miles south of LaPaz population about 300k. This place was discovered by windsurfers about 25 years ago. It is now considered one of the best places to get a kite fix in the winter in North America. For various reasons, temp, winter is about 72-78 F day with 3 days of rain a year, so 362 days of sun. Next consistent wind, we rarely have gusty conditions, wind is side shore, wind blows to the bottom of the bay so if you have equipment failure you do not end up in Panama. We have wave spots for advanced people and it is a great place for beginners because of the catch all end of the bay. Water temp to me is cold, 70 degrees so I wear a shorty. Some kite in shorts with rash shirt. For beginners and intermediate or those who hate cold I recommend a full 3/2. Some years we have 30 days straight on the water. The season is November to May. There are two airports (LAP) LaPaz and Cabo (CSL), Cabo is the one with many airlines and many flights. There are buses from cabo and private vans that bring many here. There is gear rental in the area.

Just too easy, eh?
Just too easy, eh?
fade, made to fade
passion's overrated anyway
forever 63*
Italy losing 4-0 a week too late, I'd have won £100 if they'd done it last week instead
strange feeling this, sympathy to the Italians
Did Alan Shearer just say "these guys have had an awful lot of ***?"
Feel sorry for Italy. They didn't deserve to lose 4-0 - that doesn't reflect the difference between the teams. I actually thought before the injury Italy were looking good for one goal and who knows from there. They passed it around very well - had more possession than Spain at half-time despite being behind.
Wow. Spain were brilliant. That is all you can say. Fantastic performance from a fantastic team. Best I have seen and if any side betters that in my lifetime they will be worth watching.
Yeah, after being ambivalent to them throughout the tournament before tonight, I was completely and utterly won over by Spain in this game. Best football I've seen since the Whites had Morrisey and Nevin running the wings.
Feel like the BBC pundits attempting to discuss whether or not the current Spain side is the best team ever is a bit of a fool's errand - not a debate I'm particularly interested in having, nor do I believe there is a conclusive answer to - but winning 3 major international trophies in a row is an unrivaled level of achievement, have to hand it to them.
On a sad note, probably won't get to see Buffon or Pirlo in a major tournament again, one suspects.
