The federal Department of Education has published another Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (or NPRM). These will become federal regulations unless the DOE is persuaded by public comments to make changes. This may sound esoteric, but it is very important in the realm of special education law. Federal regulations have the force and effect of law unless overturned by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Can Someone Post A Picture Without Consent? rustydiamond posted about 1 hour ago | views: 67 | Tags: Mistakenly posted my younger brothers picture instead of minex, fair usex A fellow soulcast member by the name of hottips4U is suggesting that she can post a picture of my younger brother. She says that she can post it because I posted it. Is this true? She says that once a picture is posted on this site, she can re-post it on her site. Is this true?

There's something clarifying about seeing Eckhart Tolle saying "this is now" whilst he makes a point about freeing the mind and enjoying the moment. He's in 1GiantLeap's film of 'what about me?' which deals, in its first chapter, with bombardment.That's the mediated bombardment of the senses via ueber communication. So living in the Now is about filtering the noise from the system to get back to basics. Its about removing the fear that gets put into the messaging from marketeers to their targets. If this sounds simply Orwellian, it takes the ideas further, into Chomsky's views on the mechanics of control and the need to free the mind and lose the static. Jamie and Duncan from 1GiantLeap took their leap into this project over a year ago when they started to travel the world to explore theme

State AG Investigation - New York's Attorney General launched an investigation of Herman Miller Inc.'s pricing policies in 2003, and the investigation was joined by Illinois and Michigan. The chair manufacturer's policies prohibit retailers from advertising or otherwise disclosing to consumers a price of less than $949 for its popular Aeron chair. If retailers advertised a price below $949, the company would deny shipments to the retailer. Complaint Filed - The state AGs filed a complaint, New York v. Herman Miller Inc., No. 08cv02977 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 21, 2008), alleging that the minimum pricing constituted anti-competitive conduct that harmed consumers, denying them the benefits of unrestrained price competition and access to price information in violation of federal and state antitrust law

On March 14, 2008, ABC's 20/20, a Disney owned company, aired a show challenging age of consent laws. To the dismay and shock of child advocates and Anti-pedophile bloggers and writers (a term coined for those who expose online sex offenders, predators and pedophiles), it was disproportionately favorable to the plight of sex offenders. The show featured a segment called "Vigilante Justice" in which they interviewed a child advocate who goes by the name "Petra Luna". The child advocate was clearly shown to be the antagonist as opposed to the sex offender(s), who were presented as the protagonists and victims.Credible child advocates (as opposed to registered sex offenders claiming to be child advocates, whose offenses range from molesting preschoolers to teenagers) are gravely disappointed

No sé si recordáis cómo la palabra fuck adquiría especial importancia en una escena de The Wire y era una constante en Pulp Fiction.Pues, del mismo modo que en la segunda, podemos decir que en la gran película El Gran Lebowski la palabra es todo un invitado estrella, y es que es posible hacer un resumen (muy somero y en el que apenas entendemos nada, no nos engañemos) de la película sólo con los momentos en los que se dice esa palabra (y familia).Impagable y muy divertida, esta nueva versión, la versión "Fucking short version" (la traducción, en la que se pierde la gracia y el chiste, sería "Versión jodidamente corta"):Vía: NPCP.D.: Recuerdo que el título, por si alguien no lo sabe aún viene por el origen de "Fuck", que es un acrónimo de la frase Fornication Under Consent

Last week, the U.S. District Court in Minnesota approved a consent decree entered into between the Minnesota Attorney General and News America Marketing. The Minnesota AG had intervened in the ongoing lawsuit between Insignia Systems and News America in December 2006, alleging that News America had engaged in deceptive trade practices. I previously discussed the lawsuit here. Under the terms of the consent decree, the State agreed to release its claims without an admission of liability from News America. In return, News America agreed that it would not make any further representation to any CPG or other customer regarding Insignia's compliance rate through December 31, 2003, falsely disparage its competitors, or violate the Minnesota Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Section 325D.44.

The producers of an old regional film of Shilpa Shetty have announced their plans of re-releasing the film dubbed in Hindi in the first week of January 2008. This has stunned and offended the actress. Moreover, as the re-release is happening without her knowledge and consent. Shilpa Shetty is quite perturbed that the makers of her 2005 superhit Kannada film "Auto Shankar' are all set to release a dubbed Hindi version called "Shilpa - The Big Don' in the first week of January 2008 all over the country without her knowledge and consent. "Shilpa was shocked to see posters and advertisements of the film published in film trade magazines some time ago, as she wasn't even aware that the film had been dubbed," said her publicist. "What stunned her more was the title. Yes, she does play a "lady don' in the film. In fact, during the film's release two years ago, she had even termed her character, an ode to Gabbar Singh. But "Shilpa - The Big Don' seems to be just a

Informed consent means a person has access to and understands all relevant information about a medical or surgical treatment necessary to make an informed decision about it. With regard to tubal reversal surgery, informed consent means that a woman understands how the surgery is performed, the alternative treatment of in vitro fertilization, and the potential benefits, risks, and likelihood of success from these treatments. When Dr. Gary Berger meets with his patients pre-operatively, he thoroughly explains the outpatient tubal reversal procedure he performs. Well before the patient arrives at Dr. Berger's office or meets the staff, she has had access to extensive information and statistics on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal website, has received printed materials about what to expect before, during, and after the surgery, and can watch a DVD or video showing each step in the tubal reversal operation. With this detailed information and pre-operative education, it becomes possible to ma

Microsoft has begun patching files on Windows XP and Vista without users' knowledge, even when the users have turned off auto-updates.Many companies require testing of patches before they are widely installed, and businesses in this situation are objecting to the stealth patching. Files changed with no notice to users In recent days, Windows Update (WU) started altering files on users' systems without displaying any dialog box to request permission. The only files that have been reportedly altered to date are nine small executables on XP and nine on Vista that are used by WU itself. Microsoft is patching these files silently, even if auto-updates have been disabled on a particular PC.It's surprising that these files can be changed without the user's knowledge. The Automatic Updates dialog box in the Control Panel can be set to prevent updates from being installed automatically. However, with Microsoft's latest stealth move, updates to the WU executables seem to be install

In ancient England people could not have sex unless they had Consent of the king (unless they were in the Royal Family ). When people wanted to have a baby, they had to get the consent of the king, and the king gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having s3x. The placard had F.U.C.K. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) written on it, Hence that's where the word Fuck came from. Issued in public interest :-)

The Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University ran an online survey May 19, 2007 asking what respondents thought should be done with the No Child Left Behind Act. The results are telling. Renew law 23%Change law 48%Cancel law 14%Don't know 14%Other 1%--newsPolls.comI would like to know exactly what changes the respondents think would improve No Child Left Behind. For Hillary Clinton, it is about $12 billion. For the NEA, it is about modifying the testing requirements, reducing class sizes and certifying teachers. In other words, it needs more money and greater protection for the union.The phrase "highly qualified teachers" sounds good, but it only means certified. And evidence suggests that there is little difference in student performance between those who have begun teaching through the traditional route or alternative certification programs. In fact, principals who work with recruits from Teach For America frequently report that these uncertified teachers outperform n

Today a Judge threw out what the New Labour government claimed to be a consultation process on Nuclear Power. Not because nuclear power is right or wrong but because the process they had used was fundamentally flawed and misleading. Like with Iraq, they had edited the truths they published to the point where their overall message came close to being a lie.Alistair Darling said on the new that he would be looking closely at the Judge's comments. Somehow suggesting that he and his department need to subtly work out what the Judge was getting at - whereas what it really meant was that they were so unfamiliar with genuine consultation that it was going to be difficult to find somebody straight enough within the department to know to engage in such a democratic process.Tony Blair clearly thought that the consultation was just a piece of decoration. His responses was along the lines of 'what is the alternative to nuclear power'? He could well be right. There might be no alternative.

"We now know -- beyond any doubt -- that minority drivers are targeted for humiliating, degrading roadside searches even though there is no evidence that they have broken any laws." That's how Harvey M. Grossman, Legal Director of the Illinois ACLU interprets recent stats prepared by the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety for the Illinois Department of Transportation. According to the report, in 2006, Illinois police officers asked 0.68% of white drivers for consent to search their car during traffic stops, compared to 2.04% of minority drivers. The ACLU wants to redress this balance by eliminating ALL consent searches (i.e. a police request for a search despite a lack of probable cause or reasonable suspicion of criminal activity). "State police forces in California and New Jersey have ended the practice of conducting consent searches," Grossman said. "The Illinois General Assembly should examine this data and move quickly to bar the practi
