<div>I would like to bring to your attention a few points about the
ICMI Studies.</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>--- STUDY 16 (Challenging Mathematics in and beyond
the Classroom)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The deadline for submission of contributions to this Study
is<font color="#FF0000"> TODAY, AUGUST 31</font>!!! However
should you know of people or groups in your environment that may be
potential contributors to this Study but have not yet taken action,
please urge them to immediately enter into contact with the co-chairs
of the Study, Ed Barbeau (barbeau@math.toronto.edu) and Peter Taylor
(pjt@olympiad.org) so to examine with them the possibility of a
submission. The invitations to the Study conference will be
issued no later than January 31, 2006, with the conference taking
