Texas’ ambitious program to get old polluting cars and trucks off the road – one of the largest in the U.S. – may soon roll to a temporary halt.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments, which administers the old vehicle voucher program on behalf of the state, has gotten 12,000 applications from people seeking money to help replace their old cars and trucks.
If all 12,000 applications were to be approved, they would exceed the first $30 million that the state has allocated for the program, officials said. No date has been set, but the council will probably need to quit taking applications in a few weeks.
A second phase of the program should begin in September.
“It might be a few weeks before we have to cut it off; it might be a month,” said Lara Rodriguez, a spo

According to Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Utah voters rejected the latest private school voucher plan with a 60-40 margin. The Parents for Choice in Education Act would have provided money for each student attending private school. As Americans United Executive Director, Rev. Barry Lynn noted, "States don't come any redder than Utah, yet voters were quick to shoot down this misguided plan. Lawmakers in other states need to sit up and take notice."From the press release:Continued Lynn, "This vote proves that vouchers aren't popular with liberals, moderates or conservatives. The American people want to support public schools, not private religious education that teaches dogma, subjects staff to religious qualifications and discriminates in admissions."I agree with Lynn completely when he says that vouchers will not solve our many educational woes. What is needed is adequate funding of the public school system. I applaud efforts by Americans United and other grou

I finally received the air asia gift voucher from my brother. The 'JB Express' courier service that my brother used is not express at all!! My brother sent to me on 8/10/2007 but i only received it on the 18/10/2007. 10 days!!! other courier service probably only take 1-2 days but this took 10 days to deliver.. ~sigh.. maybe they charged cheaper gua.. else how to compete with other courier service??Let's see what are the terms and conditions.Cannot book online, only can book seats through Air Asia sales offices or airport sales counter.Cannot used to pay airport tax, insurance, administration fees and other surcharges.Must book seats by Feb 2008.Book @ sales offices normally more expensive one right? if compared to book online..and if cannot used to pay airport tax and etc, that means i still need to spend a lot cos airport tax & other surchage normally are more expensive than the ticket itself!! Must book seats by Feb 2008? does that means i need to fly before Feb 2008 as well?

KL is nearer mar..J: har???!!!My brother called me yesterday and asked me whether i wanna fly back during cny or not. Normally I will drive back for a day, then the next day i'll drive to mlk.

Would you mind to receive free $199 credit in your Yahoo search marketing (YSM) account if you just deposit $30. I am damn sure no advertiser will mind it. Recently I came across few free YSM vouchers between $25 to $75 but then I thought why not to find something bigger and better.
$199 will be the highest YSM given credit, and I found out the link so whoever wants to take the benefit can take it and sign up for Yahoo Search Marketing. If you want to opt for self-serve, you would get $199 toward clicks and Advertisers signing up for the Assisted Setup service will receive $199 off the $199 service charge.
Each account requires a nonrefundable $30 initial deposit and there is a minimum bid requirement of $0.10 per click-through. I will suggest to read the terms and conditions carefully before signing up but anyways it will be applicable to everyone; so you want to opt for it any ways, you can go ahead.
Right now, if you observe there are vouchers of $25 free credit for your Yahoo Searc

Representatives of the state of Texas feel that the way to curb pollution is to get older cars off the roads. This isn't a bad idea, but I'm not so sure about the way they are doing it. I've discovered other states, Vermont specifically, have offered this as well.Here's how the program works. Say you are a family of 4 with a pre-1996 vehicle. If your annual income is less than $41k, you qualify. You can take your old car to a dealership where you can get a $3,000 voucher towards the purchase of a new or 3 year old used vehicle. The dealers get no money for your trade, which is given to a salvage yard at no cost, and there is no indication that the dealer offers any trade in value other than the state sponsored voucher.You can then use that voucher to purchase a 2004 and up car or light truck.Here's the problem. The cheapest 2004 vehicle in the state of Texas (from autotrader.com) is $4,500 plus TT&L (remember this is a dealer, so you will likely be paying many fees on top of the a
Carrie Meek, the former U.S. Congresswoman from Miami and an icon in the black community, voted against private-school vouchers when she was in D.C. But now, she's not only supporting them, her foundation is giving them away.
The Gradebook has learned the Florida Department of Education approved the Carrie Meek Foundation as a scholarship funding organization in March, meaning the foundation can now offer corporate tax-credit vouchers to low-income families. "We believe that every child deserves the best education possible," says the foundation's website, "and every parent deserves the right to choose the school that's best for them."
Is a political shift afoot? Maybe.
Meek's apparent change of heart could be significant because by and large, black lawmakers in Florida haven't been fond of vouchers, even though minority students are a majority of the recipients. And it comes on top of other, less-dramatic signs of change in recent years, including the support of some black l
Jim Horn at Schools Matter had a post last week about Georgia's voucher situation that underscores the fears of many public school advocates with certain kinds of choice plans. He seems to think the rhetoric of choice in Georgia is little more than a lie.His own rhetoric is a bit slanted. He supports his case by reminding us of the old Georgia state flag, pre 2003, complete with stars and bars, in lieu of the current banner. He seems to toss Baptists into one pile and oozes some level of bigotry.But...that said, he underscores the hypocrisy on the other side of the argument and makes some points worth thinking about.~In a post titled...The Special Needs of Georgia's Voucher Advocates Horn points out:Among those children not to be left behind are individuals with special needs. Since NCLB became law, special needs kids have been forced to take tests that were not appropriate for them - that do not assess the learning that was supposed to accrue from their individual educational plans
Our ignorant non-voting U.S. Representative, Eleanor Holmes Norton, declares today in the Washington Post that the voucher wars are over. What she means is that after one year of standardized testing it has been shown that the students enrolled in D.C.'s Opportunity Scholarship (voucher) Program score no better than those who are in traditional public schools. So after this she wants to end the program because,1. It was imposed on D.C. from Congress. Tell that to the 1,800 participants who escaped horrible schools to attend private school. Or mention this fact to the three other applicants for every slot that wanted to enroll. I guess these students were forced at gun point to sign up. 2. Giving money to private schools violates the separation of church and state. Not according to the U.S. Supreme Court that decided this matter a couple of years ago in the Zelman Decision.At a minimum Miss Norton can represent all D.C. residents, including those who count their lucky stars that they

You are low on cell phone credit, and you need to make an urgent call to a colleague, a sales and marketing executive.

Must be a slow news day. Reporters Amit Paley and Theola Labbe share the shocking news that students in the D.C. voucher program show little if any improvement in test scores after one year in the program compared to their peers who stayed in public schools.Sounds familiar? Of course it does. This is the same pattern that has been found in Milwaukee and Cleveland and Florida and anywhere else that vouchers have been implemented. It is also the case concerning D.C.'s charter schools.Instead of stories such as this in my dreams I would see the headline, "School Superintendent decides assigning children to neighborhood schools not in keeping with every other choice people have in life." Didn't command and control go out of fashion when the Berlin Wall came down? Its so interesting that the only way it seems that progress can be made under the traditional system is to have an education czar who dictates what will be taught when. This has to be a horrible experience for everyone involved.
A judge last Wednesday upheld two new state voucher programs designed to provide money to send foster and disabled children to private schools, handing a legal win to Arizona supporters of so-called "school choice" initiatives.Challengers contended that the programs enacted by the Legislature last year violate state constitutional prohibitions against public funding for private and religious schools. They also argued they undermined the state's public school system by diverting needed money.However, Judge Bethany Hicks of Maricopa County Superior Court agreed with defenders of the voucher programs, ruling that the grants to parents aren't appropriations of state money for religious worship or instruction and don't support any religious organization....challengers included the Arizona Education Association and the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, and AEA spokesman John Wright said they would appeal Hicks' ruling."We owe it to Arizona students and all of Arizona's schools
flangracneig pgoramian This week I our house has been a bit of a tip due to major work being done downstairs. Basically the kitchen. It hasn’t had any work done on it since the house was built nearly 30 years ago. Needless to say, it needed an update.
Yes, the photos blurred. It’s purposefully so to save our family’s blushes. It’s horrible tiling, and very old. No wonder I didn’t bring any women home, no self respected woman would ever do the squelchy with a man who has those tiles on display in his house. Anyway, the builders have been and gone this week and this is the new result.
Okay, ignore the shed, the concrete mixer and the bin. They will all be relocated or destroyed in the next few weeks, and imagine a garden outside, and a fence around it. It is rather bright, it’s like coming home to a different house, it feels just so different. Plus I can nose on the neighbours and their development work. It’s ace! What do you think?

If you're trying to keep track of what's going on in the world of vouchers in Tallahassee, keep your eyes on HB 7145. The Senate dropped its main bill on the subject in favor of this House version, voting 26-13 earlier today to adopt an amended version and then sent back to the House for final concurrence. The House approved the legislation by a wide margin on Monday. The bill expands the Corporate Income Tax Credit and McKay scholarship programs to more students than they currently serve. The wording of the bill goes to great pains to talk about choices and opportunities, good things in the abstract, no doubt. But there's much debate over whether the GOP-dominated Legislature is trying to make an end-run around the state Supreme Court's ruling that found the past voucher program unconstitutional. Here's the AP short story on the issue. Session ends tomorrow. Stay tuned.
It was pretty much a party-line vote for a measure that Democrats deemed an affront to public education and Republicans called a "good bill" for the good of families and children. HB 7145 would expand the Corporate Income Tax Credit Scholarship and the McKay Scholarship programs to more students than they currently serve. Some say, it's an effort to undermine the state Supreme Court's ruling against vouchers in Florida. Others say, it's a legitimate way to grow school choice while following the court's ruling. Either way, it's moving ahead. The House passed it 84-34, and a similar measure awaits final action in the Senate, where the support is not as strong.
In case you haven't been paying attention, legislation that would expand the state's corporate tax credit scholarship program - that's vouchers to most of us - is moving quickly through the Senate (SB 1212) and is ready for a vote on the House floor (HB 465). What hasn't escaped the notice of some watchers is the divide among Democrats on the issue, which often claims wide support among low-income and minority communities that want better education options for their children. Dems on the Senate Children and Families Committee unanimously approved the idea, while those on the House Policy and Budget Council all voted no. "After last week, when 4,000 traveled from as far away as Miami to show support for school choice in a march led by civil right icon Rev. HK Matthews, perhaps the D's in the House are spending too much time in the ivory tower and not enough time listening to their constituents!" suggests Denise Lasher of Step Up for Students, an initiative of the scholarship progra
Morgan Brown, who heads the US Department of Education’s Office of Innovation and Improvement faced a sympathetic crowd last week as he promoted the voucher elements of President Bush’s plans for renewing the No Child Left Behind Act—ideas that will surely prove a tougher sell in the Democratic-controlled Congress.Under the Bush plan, if a public school failed to make adequate yearly progress for at least five years under the NCLB law, its students would be eligible for vouchers worth about $4,000 each to attend religious or secular private schools. Last week, the top Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee, Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon of California, introduced a bill largely mirroring that plan.This from Education Week.
If I bought a new PC now and it came with a voucher for Vista how is that going to work. Do I take the voucher to the shop the day Vista ships and pick up a boxed version of Vista with activation codes and documentation. Bet it ain’t that easy.
I’m not even sure that if I bought a new PC in February with Vista already on it would I get a full version of Vista. Never did with XP, I had to pay serious wedge for the thing. What you do tend to get is a recovery disc. Slap it in the drive, reboot, hit F10 or some arcane key combination and 30 minutes later you’ve got a working PC circa 2004, pre SP2.
Providing a recovery disc does spare a lot of people the horrors of Windows Setup but why don’t we get the actual Windows disc as well as we have paid for it somewhere in the pricing. So I’m a bit suspicious of this Voucher business.
Maybe the Vista Voucher is just the opportunity to purchase the thing the day it comes out.Â
