| Final IDEA 2004 regs published--finally MothWrangler 02:20:44 |
| | The U.S. Dept. of Education has finally published the much delayed regulations for IDEA 2004.
The final regs are scheduled to be printed in the Federal Register on Aug. 14.
If you are interested and can't wait until they are printed you can download a copy at: http://www.ed.gov/policy/speced/guid/idea/idea2004.html.
Plan on spending quite a bit of time reading them. The regulations themselves are 374 pages, plus there are two preambles totaling 1244 pages, and five Appendices (90 pages) for a total of over 1,708 pages.
Nancy Unique, like everyone else

| OT: ( And old news ? ) July hottest month in Netherlands in 300 years Raving Loonie 02:11:01 |
| | Tue Jul 25, 7:59 AM ET
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - July 2006 is on track to be the hottest month in the Netherlands since temperatures were first measured in 1706, the Dutch meteorological institute KNMI said on Tuesday.
Average daily temperatures in the first 24 days of July were a record of 22.3 degrees Celsius (72.14F) compared with the previous record of 21.4 degrees in July 1994 and normal average temperatures of 17.4, the KNMI said.
"July 2006 is the hottest month ever," it said in a statement.
Dutch temperature records, launched in the beginning of the 18th century, are among the oldest in the world. Methodical thermometer-based records began on a more global basis around 1850.
Dutch meteorologists say they cannot make a direct link between global warming and the heatwave in Europe, although the KNMI has forecast a clear warming trend in the next 50 years and an increasing number of heatwaves.
Temperatures in the Netherlands rose as high as 36-37 degrees last week, when two people died during a walking event which was later canceled.

| Feedback on adderall dosage Tb 01:58:31 |
| | I posted a brief history (see adderall and abuse) yesterday of my experience with adderall. I was looking to see if I could get any feedback from anyone who has known, or knows of anyone that was ever prescibed a dosage of 270mg per day (3 x 90mg), or anything close to that. Most of the doctors I spoke to that were willing to comment at all, said that 270mg per day is a little more than (4) times the recommended maximum. Can anybody give me some feedback on this?

Ah, would you be able to tell if they did? ;)
Inquiring SP's want to know... I didn't see that particular message until you replied to it as my brilliant free news server filters out quite a bit of that stuff.

WARSAW (AFP) - Poland has experienced its hottest July since official records began 227 years ago, with average mid-afternoon temperatures hitting 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), the Meteorological Institute in Warsaw said.
"The level of heat actually experienced by Poles was up to 50 degrees C, taking into account the air temperature, windspeed, humidity levels and sunshine," Michal Kowalewski, a weather expert at the institute, told AFP Wednesday.
In Warsaw, the average temperature in July measured over 24 hours was 23.5 degrees C, or 5.5 degrees C higher than normal.
Temperatures peaked on July 21, with the mercury climbing to 33.9 degrees C in the capital and a sweltering 35.1 degrees C in the southern city of Krakow, according to the Meteorological Institute.
The heatwave has hit both farmers and city dwellers. "Fruit is half the usual size because of drought, while people are less alert and tire more easily," said Kowalewski.

| ASAD quote 1/24/03 (repeat) MothWrangler 23:35:25 |
| | There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

| | From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life. --Anais Nin

| Intro Truly Trudy 08:01:41 |
| | Hello, all. I've been lurking off and on for the last year or so. Since I hvae a new med-man and am now using generic adderall, I thought I'd finally pop my head up over the horizon.
After twice having my complaints about attention written off as due to depression and/or multiple sclerosis, last summer I finally got a consult with a psychologist not affiliated with my neurologist... and lo and behold, without the pre-existing bias, the testing came back positive for ADHD, inattentive type.
I started grad school this fall, but I didn't have my "ducks in a row" so to speak. Took all incompletes and will now be taking a semester off to catch up. I suspect most of my interactions here will be around getting schoolwork done, though I'm very keen on learning to better organise myself in time and space in everyday life as well.
