Abu Dhabi bank plans to start operating in Malaysia
By DALJIT DHESI
PETALING JAYA: The National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD), one of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) biggest banks, plans to start commercial banking operations in Malaysia following the Governments move to liberalise the financial services sector.
The bank, according to sources, is one of the foreign banks vying for a licence to operate in Malaysia under the liberalisation plan.
Contrary to the general perception that it would solely pursue Islamic banking, sources said it was keen on commercial banking avenues.
A source told StarBiz that one of the possible areas of focus for the bank would be in the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment.
NBAD is strong in the SME business in UAE and Malaysia as a developing nation with more than 90% of total businesses comprising SMEs is a good fit for the foreign bank, he said.
Since SME is one of the fastest growing business segments in the country, NBAD will use its experience and expertise to offer niche products and services to this segment. This will help it leverage and ride out the stiff competition in the local banking sector arising from the liberalisation.
When contacted on whether NBAD was a likely candidate for the foreign banking licence, Bank Negara said it would not comment on specific financial institutions.
Analysts view the move by NBAD to pursue commercial banking operations as a surprising one as a Middle Eastern Bank would normally focus on Islamic banking. A banking analyst opined that the emergence of NBAD would add to the depth and breadth of the SME market, a backbone of the Malaysian economy.
NBAD, which is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, was incorporated in 1968 and is majority owned by the Abu Dhabi government.
It has operations in 12 countries on four continents and was rated as one of the 50 safest banks in the world.
News on NBAD in the local financial scene emerged in the wake of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razaks state visit to the Middle East last month.
The likelihood of Bank Negara granting the licence to NBAD, according a Malaysia-based online portal, was mentioned during a meeting between Najib and Khaldoun al-Mubarak, the chairman of Abu Dhabis Executive Affairs Authority and the managing director of Mubadala, an investment group that has varied interests in Malaysia.
In April last year, the Government announced a financial sector liberalisation plan that included the issuance of licences for seven banking and two takaful players from 2009 until 2011. It also, among others, eased foreign ownership rules by increasing limits of equity ownership to 70% from 49% for investment banks, Islamic banks, insurance companies and takaful operators.
The decision by the central bank on the successful applications of foreign banking licences would be announced by June. It is currently evaluating and processing the applications.
The deadline for applications lapsed in December last year.
Under the liberalisation measures for the financial sector, up to two new commercial banking licences would be issued to qualified foreign players in specialised areas and up to three for foreign players that offer significant value propositions.
For Islamic finance, the measures would see up to two new licences for Islamic banking with a minimum paid-up capital of US$1bil, as well as up to two new licences for family takaful.

In 1906 Holman Hunt's 'Light of the World' was displayed for a month attracting over 300,000 visitors.

The history of this building is rich with events and people dating from the middle of the sixteenth century when the site was first developed for the 1st Duke of Somerset. After he was executed the house became a royal palace, fell into disrepair at the beginning of the eighteenth century and work started to rebuild it beginning in 1776, taking 33 years to complete.

"The Lib Dem's policy on Trident is coming under increasing scrutiny"
I think a more accurate comment would be that the policies of the Labour and Conservative parties, who are wedded to replacing Trident nuclear weapons, are coming under unwelcome scrutiny. The justification that the two larger parties have employed for replacing Trident has always been week and muddled, and they have tried to close down debate on the issue rather than explain how new nuclear weapons will protect the UK against the threats the 21st century poses – fundamentalism, energy security, climate change, and cyberwarfare.
At a time when deep cuts in public spending are forecast, people want to know just why the next government is planning on spending billions of pounds on new nuclear weapons yet talking of cutting public services. Opinion polls consistently show that a big majority of the public oppose replacing Trident.
The fact that Labour and the Conservatives do not understand that the public mood on nuclear weapons has changed since the Cold War, and are so out of step with current opinion, may have more to do with the Liberal Democrats' surge in popularity than John Sharkey's briefing notes.

The Dallas Cowboys defense has been absolutely horrendous this season, and they've struggled mightily stopping the run and stopping the pass. Inside linebacker Sean Lee, however, has been an enormous bright spot, and he's been worthy of an All-Pro vote this season. He's been that good, and it's been great watching him make big strides in pass coverage to the point where he is one of the best LBs in the league in coverage. Lee is also a solid blitzing ILB, but where he continues to earn his keep is in run defense. And when Lee went down with an injury, the Cowboys defense was even worse.
The Cowboys were especially embarrassing on defense on Monday Night Football last week against the Chicago Bears, and they will be hoping to atone for that showing with a better performance on Sunday against another NFC North team in the Green Bay Packers. On the bright side for the Cowboys, Matt Flynn is going to start, and he isn't as good of a backup QB as Josh McCown is. On the downside, though, Sean Lee, who went down with an injury on Monday, isn't going to be playing this week.
It was reported earlier this week that Lee's MRI on his neck came clean and that he would likely play this week, but it was reported earlier today that he would be unlikely to play. Now, ESPN Dallas's Todd Archer officially reports that Lee will be out this week.
It's a huge blow for the Cowboys, while it's fantastic news for the Green Bay Packers, especially rookie running back Eddie Lacy. The Alabama product suffered an ankle injury in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons, but he was able to continue playing. And even though he missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he returned today (as the team planned), and Mike McCarthy was always optimistic regarding Lacy's Week 15 status. Against a Cowboys defense without Lee and with Flynn at the helm, Lacy could have a monster game for the Packers and fantasy owners alike.

Montrezl Harrell doesn't have time for reporters breaking news about him. That's why the Louisville Cardinals standout, and assumed 2014 first-round NBA Draft pick, took to the mean streets of Twitter to make a pretty surprising announcement.
Been on my mind heavy but I love the feeling of being a Louisville cardinal an I will be wearing this for the next yr pic.twitter.com/xuOGr4nsc3
— Montrezl Harrell (@MONSTATREZZ) April 14, 2014
Outside of that painting being all that and a bag of chips, this is huge news for the Cardinals.
Harrell averaged 14.0 points and 8.4 rebounds last season. He was only a sophomore. Meaning, if my mathematical skills are correct, he is going to be a junior next season.
This also means that Louisville will be a much better team next year. Many, already, assumed that the Cardinals were going to have a huge drop in success for next year. With Montrezl Harrell staying, it obviously changes that narrative in a huge way.
It is interesting for him to come back, though. Out of the billion players who actually think they are first-round talents, but aren't, Harrell was certainly a guy most people had going while the guaranteed money of the NBA was still flowing.
See Harrell next year by grabbing your 2014 Louisville basketball tickets!

Harry Styles and Niall Horan like to spy on their fans on twitter. The One Direction stars, who are joined in the band by Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, like to do research about what people think about them by creating pseudonyms on the social networking site and asking fans questions who have no idea they are talking to the singers. A source said: "Harry and Niall like to get personal with the fans, but it's hard to talk one-on-one with them without being cyber-mobbed. So in the last few months they've started using pseudonyms to befriend their fans on twitter. They have no idea the strangers they're talking to are actually their idols. The boys change their names every few weeks to prevent being rumbled."
The teenage hunks, who have 15.4 million twitter followers between them,particularly enjoy doing it while they spend time waiting in airports and airports. The source added to the Daily Star newspaper, "They find out what fans enjoy most at the gigs and which songs they like and don't like. It's also a good place to hear what the latest rumours are. They say it helps them kill time as well when they're waiting in hotels and airports around the world. Harry does it the most. He loves finding out what the fans really think."

Electronic Health Records
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting. Included in this information are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. The EHR automates and streamlines the clinician's workflow. The EHR has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter - as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly via interface - including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.
In this section you will find many resources that contribute to the ability for healthcare organizations to realize a longitudinal electronic record that spans across the continuum of healthcare.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS MAKE CHANGES ON PRACTICE SQUADPosted by on October 21, 2014 – 6:32 pm
The Indianapolis Colts today signed running back Jeff Demps and tight end Konrad Reuland to the practice squad and released quarterback Dominique Davis and wide receiver Chandler Jones from the practice squad.
Demps, 5-8, 191 pounds, was originally signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Florida on August 17, 2012. He was acquired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a trade with the Patriots on April 27, 2013. Demps played in two games in 2013 and recorded one rush for 14 yards, three receptions for 21 yards and four kickoff returns for 93 yards. He was then signed to the practice squad on August 31, 2014 and was released on October 13.
Demps finished his career at Florida as the school's eighth all-time leading scorer. He played in 51 career games (27 starts) and totaled 367 rushes for 2,470 yards (6.7 avg.) and 23 touchdowns, while also adding 57 receptions for 481 yards and one touchdown. He returned 21 kickoffs for 604 yards and one touchdown. Demps was also a four-year letterman on the men's track team where he became the only Florida athlete to win a national championship in multiple sports (2009 football national championship and four indoor and outdoor track championships. He was a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic 4×100 meter relay team that won the silver medal.
Reuland, 6-5, 260 pounds, has caught 12 passes for 90 yards in 26 career games (three starts) with the New York Jets (2012-13). He was originally signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford on July 27, 2011 and was waived on August 31, 2012. Reuland was then acquired from waivers by the Jets on September 1. In 2012, he appeared in all 16 games (three starts) and recorded career highs of 11 receptions for 83 yards.
In two seasons at Stanford (2009-2010), Reuland compiled 27 receptions for 351 yards and one touchdown in 26 games played (10 starts). Prior to that, he spent two years (2006-07) at Notre Dame and saw action in 10 games.
Davis was signed to the Colts practice squad on September 10, 2014. He appeared in one game with the Atlanta Falcons in 2013 and completed 5-of-7 passes (71.4%) for 34 yards and an 81.8 passer rating. Davis was originally signed by the Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of East Carolina University on April 30, 2012.
Jones was signed to the Colts practice squad on September 30, 2014. He was originally signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent on May 12, 2014 and was waived on August 4. Jones set career records at San Jose State for receptions (248), receiving yards (3,087) and touchdown receptions (29) and became the first player in school history to record at least 50 receptions in all four years.

"Back-Up of the Game" is defensive tackle Ricky Jean FrancoisPosted by on October 20, 2014 – 8:53 am
This week's "Back-Up of the Game" presented by Venyu is defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois.
When it was announced pregame that Arthur Jones would miss his fifth straight game due to a high ankle sprain that meant Ricky Jean Francois would once again be in the starting lineup.
Just like he has done in Jones' absence, Francois was very impressive.
He finished the afternoon with three tackles, a sack and two quarterback hurries.
Francois was part of a Colts defense that allowed just 135 total yards and recorded the first shutout for the franchise since 2008.
"To be able to shut out the Bengals, one of the best teams in the AFC North, it was something just to be thankful about," Francois said after the game.
"In this league, it's hard to get a shut out especially a team like that."
With how the Colts defense has played this season, it's hard to remember that the unit is missing a guy like Jones, Robert Mathis and even Jerrell Freeman for four weeks.
The depth is evident though, across all three units of the defense, and is a major reason why the Colts put together a performance like Sunday.
"Playing as a family, that's the biggest thing, a lot of people just talk about it, but as you can see, it's a family in this locker room that is playing," Francois said after the 27-0 win. "Especially the defense, we got certain guys that are not playing with us out there so we're out there playing for them so their energy is inside of us and it makes us play all out.
"Like Coach said, we've got to exhaust the mission. We got to go out there and exhaust ourselves. You can't have no energy when you come back in this locker room."

Five Things Learned: Colts/BengalsPosted by on October 19, 2014 – 10:16 pm
INDIANAPOLIS – In what will be the Colts final home game in a month, they put together a performance to remember for the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium.
For just the sixth time in franchise history, the Colts recorded a shutout thanks to a 27-0 win over the Bengals.
The Colts (5-2) will now turn their attention to the Steelers (3-3) and a 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff on Sunday afternoon.
Here are FIVE THINGS LEARNED.
CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL DEFENSE– Cory Redding said it best after the game "it's a new era." Yes, a high-octane offense is still in Indianapolis but for this team to play deep into January, defensive efforts like we've seen the past few weeks need to continue to happen. Sunday's effort is beyond impressive considering the Bengals offense being a top-10 unit coming into Week Seven.
MORE PRODUCTIVE OFFENSE – It was overshadowed on Sunday but it was yet another productive afternoon for the Colts offense. The unit piled up more than 500 yards and Andrew Luck tied a franchise record with his fifth straight 300-yard passing day. If we are nit picking, red zone efficiency will continue to be a focus going forward for the Colts offense.
RUNNING BACK DUO SHINES – The running back tandem of Trent Richardson and Ahmad Bradshaw ranks right up there with any other in the NFL. Sunday was another showcase of that as both finished with more than 80 yards from scrimmage. The Colts 171 rushing yards are the most the team has had in over a year.
MORE PASS RUSH SUCCESS – Coming into Sunday, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had been sacked just twice in 151 pass attempts. The Colts got Dalton on the ground three times in 38 attempts with Bjoern Werner recording his team-leading fourth sack of the year.
SERIOUS AFC CONTENDER – A fifth straight win pushed the Colts record to 5-2 with two road contests on the horizon before a Week 10 bye. The Colts now sit just a game behind the Broncos for the top spot in the AFC. Indianapolis' lead in the AFC South could grow to two games if Houston falls to Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

"Be Inspired" Pork Tailgate Recipe Contest Winner – Bengals WeekPosted by on October 18, 2014 – 3:39 pm
It's a new Colts football season and that means that it's tailgating season! Just like last year, the Colts and Indiana Pork have partnered in search of the best pork tailgate recipe in all of Colts Nation, and guess who is in charge of it? Yours truly! We're going to be searching for the best pork tailgate recipes you have to offer. We want to see some creativity and of course plenty of pork! What something to sweeten the deal? How about a year supply of bacon! Yes, the grand prize winner will receive a year supply of bacon. The weekly winners will receive a prize package consisting of a $50 Meijer gift certificate,101 Things to Do With Bacon Book, Indiana Pork Apron, Colts hat, Colts yearbook and Colts 2013 Season DVD.
This week's winning recipe comes from Aaron R. of Granger, Indiana who has an appropriately titled pork dish that packs a punch of flavor. Try out these "Pagano's Burnt Ends," a recipe fit for a Head Coach of the Colts!
Pagano's Pork Burnt Ends- start with a boston butt pork shoulder local to Indiana- roughly 8-10 lbs. Cut into rib-like strips that are approx 4 inches thick, 4 inches tall and the length of the pork shoulder (or you can cheat and buy as ribs in the store). Rub with mustard, then black pepper, sea salt, garlic, and granulated maple (I buy that from a place online called the spice house). Place in the smoker at 225 under apple wood until they hit 185- takes about 5 hours. Take out let sit for 1 hour and cut into cubes. Place the cubes in a bowl with a stick of melted butter, more granulated maple, salt and course pepper then mix together. Lay on a single row tray and put back in the smoker with more apple wood for 3 more hours. People go nuts for them and they are great grab and go snacks for the ride from South Bend to Indy for a game. I use a vertical smoker for this and make sure there is always water in the pan. For tailgates this makes two disposable pie tins worth of burnt ends. Just perfect.
Thanks for sharing Christopher! Think your tailgate recipe is better? Enter it here.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS T-XAVIER NIXON RETURNS TO PRACTICEPosted by on October 15, 2014 – 12:10 pm
The Indianapolis Colts today announced that tackle Xavier Nixon will return to practice with the team. He will remain on Injured Reserve/Designated for Return during this time.
The Colts have up to three weeks from today to elevate Nixon to the 53-man active roster or he will remain on Injured Reserve for the remainder of the season. He is not eligible to play until the team's Week 9 game against the New York Giants on November 3.
Nixon was placed on Injured Reserve/Designated for Return on September 3, 2014. He was first signed by the Colts from the Washington Redskins practice squad on September 24, 2013. Nixon played in four games for the Colts in the 2013 regular season, making one start at left guard in a Week 16 victory at Kansas City. He also saw action in both postseason contests. Nixon was originally signed by the Redskins as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Florida on May 2, 2013.

COLTS P-PAT McAFEE NAMED AFC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEKPosted by on – 10:13 am
The NFL today announced that Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 6. This marks the first time he has earned the award in his career.
In the Colts' 33-28 victory over the Houston Texans, McAfee recovered an onside kick, which led to a touchdown. It marked the third consecutive onside kick recovery of the season for Indianapolis. The rest of the NFL is a combined 1-of-13 (7.7%) on onside kicks this year. McAfee contributed with four punts for 159 yards in the game, pinning three of them inside the 20-yard line. He also added six touchbacks on kickoffs.
McAfee leads the NFL in punting net average (44.8) and kickoff touchbacks (33) in 2014 and ranks sixth in punting gross average (47.5). In September, he earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors.
McAfee is the second Colts player to earn AFC Player of the Week honors this season. Quarterback Andrew Luck won the award for his performance in Week 3 at Jacksonville.
Week 3: Andrew Luck – AFC Offensive Player of the Week
Week 6: Pat McAfee – AFC Special Teams Player of the Week
September: Pat McAfee – AFC Special Teams Player of the Month

Five Things Learned: Colts/TexansPosted by on October 10, 2014 – 10:39 am
HOUSTON – The Colts stretched their win streak to four games on Thursday night with a 33-28 victory down in Houston.
With the win, the Colts took the solo lead in the AFC South, while moving their divisional record to 3-0 on the year.
The Colts (4-2) will now have a mini-bye week before the Bengals (3-1) head to Lucas Oil Stadium on October 19.
Here are FIVE THINGS LEARNED.
HILTON'S HEROICS– There's just something in the air when Hilton takes on the Texans. The last time Hilton got into the end zone in a regular season game was down in Houston last year. He did that and much more on Thursday night. The speedster had nine catches (in nine targets), for 223 yards, falling one-yard shy of the Colts franchise record for a game.
MORE SPECIAL TEAMS TRICKS – It was another gutsy, pivotal special teams call that allowed the Colts to seize early control. It's remarkable the Colts have executed three onside kicks this season where the rest of the league is 0-for-8. The confidence Chuck Pagano has in his special teams units is through the roof and this team feeds off that trust.
PASS RUSH FRENZY – Over the last four weeks, the Colts have piled up 16 sacks in 120 pass attempts. It's been a collective group effort with 10 guys chipping in with sacks in 2014. The handful of sacks on Thursday night was highlighted by Bjoern Werner's strip fumble that clinched the Colts fourth straight victory.
EARLY DIVISION CONTROL – When the Colts began a stretch of three AFC South games in four weeks, they found themselves at the bottom of the division. A month later, they are alone at the top. The Colts will now have an extended break from division foes with just one AFC South game until Week 15 (vs. Jacksonville on 11/23).
MINI BYE WEEK – Chuck Pagano said after the game "no injuries" which is a nice bonus going into the weekend off. The Colts will now play three games against teams with better than .500 records before a bye week on 11/10 (CIN, at PIT and at NYG).

"Back-Up of the Game" is safety Sergio BrownPosted by on October 6, 2014 – 11:06 am
The always energetic Sergio Brown offered this tweet earlier in the week.
Sunday he backed that up with a trio of tackles, a sack, a pass deflection and was a stabilizing force at the backend of the Colts defense.
"I saw (Brown) fly around and make a bunch of plays, make a great third down stop in the first half," Chuck Pagano said of Brown after the game.
"It seemed like he was everywhere. I'll wait, I need to look at the tape and I'll be able to give you a fair evaluation but it looked like he did a nice job."
The highlight for Brown came on an early fourth-and-one at the Colts three-yard line.
With Baltimore going for it, Brown came flying in from Joe Flacco's blindside and sacked the Ravens quarterback.
"I feel like the play we made down there on the fourth-and-goal, it was a great one to jump start the rest of the game," Brown said after the game. "It was a great momentum carrier for the rest of the game."
As Brown was wrapping up his media sessions on Sunday afternoon, his head coach walked by him and let out a, "Way to go Serg!" which brought an ear-to-ear grin across the face of the Colts safety.
It's a moment Brown's wanted for a while now and he made the most of it on Sunday.
"I couldn't write a story better than this," Brown said.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS MAKE ROSTER MOVESPosted by on – 9:42 am
The Indianapolis Colts today signed free agent outside linebacker Victor Butler to the active roster and waived outside linebacker Chris Carter.
Butler, 6-2, 245 pounds, appeared in 63 career games (two starts) for the Dallas Cowboys from 2009-2012 and totaled 65 tackles (48 solo), 11.0 sacks, five passes defensed, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 40 special teams tackles. He joined the New Orleans Saints in 2013 and spent the entire season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. In 2012, Butler set career highs with 23 tackles and three passes defensed, while tying a career-high with 3.0 sacks. In 2011, he also posted 3.0 sacks and a career-best 14 special teams tackles. Butler was originally selected by the Cowboys in the fourth round (110th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Oregon State.
Carter was signed by the Colts as a free agent on September 10, 2014 and played in one game this season. He has competed in 30 games (four starts) with the Colts (2014) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2011-13) over the past four seasons and holds career totals of eight tackles (four solo), one fumble recovery and nine special teams stops. He was originally selected by the Steelers in the fifth round (162nd overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Fresno State. Read more »

Five Things Learned: Colts/RavensPosted by on October 5, 2014 – 9:17 pm
INDIANAPOLIS – Sunday marked a third straight victory for the Colts as they held on for a 20-13 win against the Ravens.
With the victory, the Colts moved into a tie atop the AFC South with the Houston Texans.
The Colts (3-2) will now have a short week with a trip to Houston (3-2) on the schedule for Thursday Night Football.
Here are FIVE THINGS LEARNED.
DEFENSE'S TURN TO SHINE– After the league leading Colts offense stole the show the last two weeks, the defense bailed them out on Sunday. The Colts defense held the Ravens to just 1-of-11 on third-down after Baltimore was converting 50 percent of its chances coming into Sunday. The Colts had four sacks, forced three turnovers and held the Ravens to just 13 points (three of which came off a turnover inside the Colts 20-yard line).
BJOERN WERNER CHANNELS HIS MATHIS – Sunday was supposed to be Mathis' first game back. Instead, the Colts all-time sack leader watched Bjoern Werner turn in his best game as a professional. Werner had two of the Colts four sacks on Sunday after Joe Flacco came into Sunday without being sacked in 91 straight pass attempts.
OFFENSE COOLS – Moving the football was not an issue for the Colts offense on Sunday. On nine different times, the Colts penetrated Ravens territory. Yet only 20 points came from those drives. Some friendly fire on the Colts side of things and the Ravens top red zone defense in the NFL contributed to the inability to put the Ravens away.
SERGIO BROWN'S DEBUT – That energy we see from Brown on special teams was channeled quite nicely to the defensive side of the ball. Brown had a crucial sack of Joe Flacco, made a nice open field tackle on third down and had a pass deflection. The Colts secondary played very solid with Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith being held to just five catches for 34 yards.
SHORT WEEK COMING – It's the Colts turn at Thursday night football. Indianapolis will travel to fellow AFC South leading Houston on Thursday night for the division lead. This year on Thursday night, road teams have been outscored on average by 28 points per game.

What is an IEP?
An Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, is a written document that's developed for children attending public school who are eligible to participate in special education programs. The document, which is created by a multidisciplinary team of educators and experts, confirms that the child for whom it's written has a disability and requires specialized services to benefit from general education. The IEP describes the goals the team sets for a child during the school year and outlines the types of support he or she will need to achieve them.
Who needs an IEP?
Any child who has been identified as a special needs student would benefit from an IEP. To attend FACE, an IEP is required beforehand for all prospective students.
Where can I go to obtain an IEP for my child and how much will it cost?
You can start by speaking with your child's teacher or school administrator in the public school system and tell them that you want your child evaluated for a disability. Get a developmental screening provided through the school system or the county. Call your local school system for more information. It does not cost any money to obtain an IEP for your child.
What does the IEP need to say for my child to be eligible to attend FACE?
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), there are 13 categories of disabilities: autism, deaf or blindness, developmental delays, emotional disturbance, hearing impairments, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairments, other health impairments, specific learning disabilities, speech and language impairments, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairments (visit http://idea.ed.gov for more information). In accordance with the school's charter, eligible students shall include those students on the autism spectrum or developmentally delayed with a medical diagnosis of autism. Students must have an active Individual Education Plan.
What kind of transportation is available to and from FACE?
Because of the wide six-county area that FACE serves, the school does not provide transportation at this time. To be eligible to attend FACE, students must have their own transportation.
How safe is FACE?
FACE is committed to the safety and security of all of its students and staff. The school is located on a beautiful 140-acre campus with low student-teacher ratios and teacher's aides to ensure that students not only receive the highest quality of education, but are also monitored by a teacher at all times. All staff members carry radios for easy communication and keep each other updated in the very rare situation that they feel something is out of the ordinary.
FACE has a designated behavior/emergency team that is trained in CPR, First Aid and safety care for aggressive students. All of these staff members have the behavior assistant's certification and are trained in the basics of providing support for behavior intervention.
All FACE staff members are required to report any instances of suspected or stated child abuse to the Florida Department of Children & Families. All employees and agents of a public school district, charter school or private school also have an obligation and legal responsibility to report misconduct by instructional personnel and school administrators which affects the health, safety or welfare of a student.
How can parents keep up with student progress in the classroom?
Parents are of course welcome to contact their child's teachers and behavior analysts at any time to find out how he or she is progressing or to discuss any concerns they may have about their child's development. Additionally, teachers collect and maintain a data log that tracks student progress and IEP goal attainment. This log is shared regularly with parents.
How can I set up a tour at FACE?
We recommend that anybody whose child is interested in and is eligible to attend FACE first arrange to take a tour of the school. Please call us at (813) 395-5952 during school hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., to schedule a tour date.

On her current research project, she examines techniques of ownership and dispossession in settler colonial contexts. Building on her doctoral research, which focused on theories of recognition and Aboriginal rights, she traces the relationship between the emergence of modern property law and settler colonialism, revealing how emergent forms of value were produced in conjunction with a thoroughly gendered, racial capitalism.
Another recent research project has culminated in the forthcoming publication of an edited book: Plastic Materialities: legality, politics and metamorphosis in the work of Catherine Malabou (Durham: Duke University Press, forthcoming), co-edited with Professor Jon Goldberg-Hiller.

Albany, NY (WKBW) - Another woman has come forward with sexual harassment allegations against Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak (D-Cheektowaga).
Kristy Mazurek, who worked as the Assemblyman's Director of Communications in 2008 and 2009, has filed a complaint against the Assemblyman and the New York State Assembly. A notice of complaint has been filed.
The complaint accuses Gabryszak of taking Mazurek to his apartment, pointing to a flat roof area, and telling her "she could use said area to sunbathe topless."
Gabryszak also allegedly told Mazurek that "her outfit was hot" each morning, and asked if she and another co-worker could "dress in sexy elf costumes" and "sit on his lap."
According to the claim, Mazurek reported this behavior to Gabryszak's Chief of Staff, Adam Locher, and confronted the Assemblyman. Mazurek claims as a result, her salary was cut in less than half.

At the beginning of the 2013-14 season, it appeared that Jonas Hiller would be the No. 1 goalie for the Anaheim Ducks and Viktor Fasth would be his back up.
Unfortunately Fasth got injured, causing Bruce Boudreau to bring Frederik Andersen up. Towards the end of the season it appeared that Andersen would be the permanent back up to Hiller when Fasth was traded to the Edmonton Oilers.
Shea Weber changed the Ducks' goaltending depth chart when he shot a puck off Andersen's mask back on Apr. 4. Andersen had to leave the game after experiencing headaches from the hard shot. Andersen was listed as day-to-day and wasn't quite 100% ready in Boudreau's mind to come back to play.
In steps John Gibson to play the back up position.
After the game against the Nashville Predators, the Ducks faced a back-to-back road situation. Boudreau decided to start Hiller against Edmonton Oilers and Gibson against the Vancouver Canucks.
In his first NHL game Gibson faced 18 shots and shutout the Canucks. Gibson didn't face too many shots as the Ducks' defense created turnovers and blocked shots all night long in front of him. Gibson did make the timely saves when he needed to.
The following game was one of the biggest of the year for the Ducks as they played the San Jose Sharks and could clinch the Pacific Division title for a second year in a row. Anderson was still not ready to play so you think Boudreau would go with his No. 1 starter Hiller, right?
Not exactly.
Boudreau put Gibson in net for his second start after seeing him play well in his first game. Gibson gave up an early goal in the game, but stayed calm stopping 36 out of 38 shots by the Sharks. The Ducks went on to win 5-2.
It says a great deal when the head coach puts in a rookie in a huge game over the starter toward the end of the season. Boudreau says Hiller has lost confidence in his play, but hasn't Boudreau lost confidence in Hiller as well?
In the final game of the season, honoring Teemu Selanne, Boudreau again played Gibson. The Ducks had locked up the Pacific Division and Western Conference. The game meant nothing in terms of standing or playoff seeding.
It would have been a great game to put Hiller in to get his confidence back, but instead Boudreau made Hiller a healthy scratch.
Boudreau has been diplomatic when discussing the goalie situation, but it's time to go with the hot hand. Gibson in three starts is 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .954 SV%. Gibson has been very good in all three games he has played. He has not given up more than two goals in any start.
In the game against the Sharks, the Ducks were down early 1-0 but rallied to come back and win. The Ducks did it again down 2-0 in the third period against the Colorado Avalanche.
The biggest asset that Gibson brings is confidence. He gave up an early goal in his last two starts, but it doesn't seem to phase him at all.
The Ducks have been the "comeback kids" all season for their ability to rally and win games. The Ducks should not make a habit of trying to rally every game in the playoffs because it is more difficult to do so at that time of year.
However, Gibson is the goalie I want in net because he may let in an early goal, but he is going to stay calm and make saves to keep the Ducks in the game.
Gibson's other strength is his positioning. If you watch the three previous starts, he challenges shooters by coming out of the net and cutting down on the angles. He seems to be in the right position at the right time. The only real argument against Gibson is that he is a rookie with no playoff experience.
I remember when people talked about another goalie who lacked playoff experience, Jean-Sebastien Giguere. In the 2002-03 season, Giguere's playoff debut led the Ducks to the Stanley Cup finals only to lose in Game 7. Gibson could lead the Ducks to the finals this year.
Having three quality goaltenders is not cause for concern for Boudreau or the Ducks. Chances are Boudreau will start the goalie who is hot and stays that way. Gibson is healthy and has won his three starts building momentum for the Ducks heading into the playoffs.
Boudreau should keep the Ducks momentum going by starting Gibson.

I have 10 steps in my job, how can I execute second step without executing first step, without using restart and commenting first step?
//SAMIEBED JOB (Information), ,CLASS=A, // MSGCLASS=T,NOTIFY=&SYSUID //*=========================================================== //* EXAMPLE F...
Hi Rishu,
Can you please explain in details and please given the complete JCl and explain clearly about the utility.
Thanks in advance
There are 100 steps in a job card.If we want to execute 100th step,what to do? And but remaining 99 steps should not execute
Its verify simple dont make it too complicate.
//Jobname job class=a,msgclass=a,msglevel(1,1),RESTART = STEP100.
Here in the above jobcard we have given as restart - step100 which will directly execute only the step100.
you can use the below code to execute only the step100 "c //step1 exec pgm=IEBEDIT //sysut1 dd dsn=inputjcl(jcl1),disp=shr //sysut2 dd sysout=(*,intrdr) //sysin dd * Edit type=...
Jcl to read control card data & change the course of action
Hi,i need some suggestion on below query. Requirement details are mentioned below.Code one jcl with 4 steps (step01, step02, step03, step04). Now step01 will read one control card data and as per the contents of that control card data next step execution will be decided.Control card will have EIther...
I will suggest write a cobol program in step 1 to read the SYSIN value and based on the value set Return code value. For example Value Return code set 01 01 02 02 03 03 04 0...
One of the approaches I can think of is instead create 3 procs and call the proc depending on the value in control card (populate proc value name from control card).

Verify whether a dataset is empty.
How do you verify whether a dataset is empty using a jcl?
There are three ways to check if file is empty or not.
1:- Through IDCAMS, it is already explained above.
2:- Through ICETOOL, it is also explained above.
3:- Through SORT::
When file is null then only return code is set to null.
Use IDCAMS to print the records present in dataset.
If present, the job will end with MAXCC 0000 otherwise MAXCC 0004 i.e. empty file.
What is positional parameter and keyword parameter and what is the difference between them?
What will will happen if the positional parameter is not in order say for example p2,p1 like that? What will be the output? please let me know the result ASAP
Position parameter has specific order in a program ,if you want to skip particular parameter then you must type comma for that.It always follow JCL job statement.
keyword parameter is unlike positional parameter it can be codec any order.

JES2 processing is considered to be independently controlled.
JES3 processing is considered to be centrally controlled..

Do you have a stack of old computers and fax machines collecting dust
in a dark corner of your facility?
Given how quickly technology becomes obsolete, electronics are one of the fastest growing sources of landfill waste. The EPA estimates that 2.37 million tons of computers, phones, printers, and televisions were discarded in 2009, yet only 25% were recycled.
Don't let these bulky devices wind up in your dumpster. You can easily improve your diversion rates by dedicating a separate waste stream to electronics.
An Electrifying Problem
End-of-life electronics contain a number of heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. Because these elements don't biodegrade, they can leach into the ecosystem. Their presence can contaminate water and soil, as well as compromise plant and animal life.
They also pose a risk to human health, explains the e-Steward Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to electronics disposal. If improperly handled, these toxic materials can cause cancer, reproductive disorders, endocrine disruption, and other health problems.
Open-air burning and acid baths are commonly used to recover precious metals from electronics, notes the EPA, but they also expose workers to harmful substances.
And if e-waste is exported to other countries (an unregulated practice), it may not fall under regulations that ensure safe reclamation and disposal policies.
Before You Get Started
As you begin to collect devices, research if any restrictions apply to your region. There are currently 25 states with electronics recycling laws, notes the National Center for Electronics Recycling.
Many require manufacturers to provide recycling programs or ban certain electronics from going into the trash. Your local municipality or county landfill may also offer rebates or reduced fees for e-cycling.
Join forces with your IT department to facilitate the transfer of outdated equipment. A loading dock or maintenance shed is suitable for a cardboard baler or pop can bin, but electronics should be stored in a more secure area. The collection site needs to be free of moisture or temperature fluctuations to protect equipment integrity.
Data security also needs to be taken into account, the EPA cautions. As many devices can be refurbished and subsequently sold, electronics should be wiped before disposal. There are also companies that will salvage valuable materials and then destroy remaining parts.
view larger
Find the Right Partner
A reputable recycler is crucial – you don't want someone to collect your materials only to dump them improperly.
The EPA encourages customers to contract with a certified recycler. Accreditations are offered through the Responsible Recycling Practices (R2) or e-Stewards, though some states have their own certification program.
Companies must demonstrate that they are safely handling and recycling electronics. This is established through an audit process.
"These certification programs are based on strong environmental standards that maximize reuse and recycling, minimize exposure to human health or the environment, ensure safe management of materials by downstream handlers, and require destruction of all data on used electronics," says the EPA.
You can also donate equipment as a community service. There are many charity organizations that will rejuvenate technology. Children, non-profits, low-income families, or communities in developing nations may have a home for your old devices.
If your computers are less than two years old and you donate them to a school, for example, you may be able to earn a tax deduction under the 21st Century Classrooms Act for Private Technology Investment.

One of the things Tony Attwood mentions in his book is at Aspies tend to look more youthful than their NT counterparts. I don't know if that is in any way related to slower development.

Since it seems like the exact causes of AS are still in debate I think it'd be hard to know for sure. There are various reasons why some people mature more slowly than others, including diet and genetics.
I reached puberty around age eight myself but now in my mid 20s I think my round face might make me look a bit younger. At any rate, even fully matured people's bodies vary a lot. At age 24 my boyfriend is very skinny, with arms thinner than mine and it's mainly genetic. Anyway, I second the comments on not worrying about what your body looks like.

If you mean puberty, then yes I was late. Probably has no connection through, I also did look much younger than my age.

I think it's as varied as is it with anyone else, it's true that an aspie's emotional development in puberty may be a lot slower. Physically I was quite early and reached adult size/average adult weight at about 15.

Post subject: Autism/Asperger's physical development link?
I don't think there is any relation to physical development, except maybe in Rett's Syndrome Autism/Asperger's. I do think that there might be a link in age appearance, though, as so many here have mentioned that they look younger than their years. This applies to me also, except now that I am in my early 50s, and have suffered from insufficient sleep for decades, my appearance is finally catching up to my calendar age, but I think I still do look a little younger, but very tired.
In my case it might be partly genetic, too, as I have some relatives on both sides who tend to look less old than they are. My mother looked a lot older by the time she died, but she smoked for over 50 years, and that ages people a lot.

I'd say yes, possibly, it'd be case by case obviously. For me, I'm 21 and only now am starting to get a lot of chest hair, and as far as facial hair and all that, I was later, too. I also grew 2 inches at 17 years old. I'm DXed NVLD, and the people diagnosing me literally said "almost but not quite" for Aspergers, and now most psychs I talk to agree with Aspergers as a diagnosis, so take that for what you want.
I know one guy, who, he hasn't outright told me he's an Aspie, but, 171 IQ, photographic memory, he'd get tests in school and write the exact page number the question was, and where on the page it was. He displays some traits, but he's also in his 50s now. Anyway, though, he graduated highschool, 17, at 120 pounds, and 5'2, he grew 10 inches and doubled his weight by the time of his 5 year class reunion, mind you, during that time he also started powerlifting, so I don't know if the powerlifting made him make extra growth hormone or what, it's hard to say, he never took any steroids or other drugs for it, though, so yeah.
So the best I can tell you is "maybe."

I went through puberty very slowly. Never had a squeaky voice; it changed so gradually over 10 years that nobody noticed. And I didn't have to shave 'til I was 25, and not every day 'til I was 30. Also I never needed to use deodorant 'til I was in my 30s. I don't mean I just didn't use it; I mean I didn't need it. No idea if this was all due to autism, or just coincidence.

I was still 5'04 and about 100 pounds at the end of my junior year in HS. I'm 6'01 about 200 now. So yeah, I was way late in physical development and have always looked younger than I am. Coupled with my limited social skills, I have always had an issue with people being condescending towards me or not taking me seriously. It's particularly annoying when people my own age or younger act as if they are much older/experienced than me.

Maybe for some peeps but the men in my family age slower than others. I look 16 but I'm 19.
It helps to shave daily and drink a ton of water too. When your a late bloomer, physically and puberty will hit you like a ton of bricks.

I was always behind developmentally. I was flat as a board until I turned 18. I didn't get my period until I was 15. When I was younger I didn't lose my first tooth until I was 7. I didn't get braces until I was 15 due to the fact that I still had milk teeth up until then. I had to get 4 milk teeth pulled because I didn't have any permanent teeth under them. I was extremely skinny until I stopped growing at 18 and then I became more average looking. Also, I remember being the smallest person in my kindergarten class. I'm 5'5 now.

- Deer are passive Mobs that spawn in a range of Biomes.
If the Deer is a male, it will have antlers, be larger than the other Deer and look more upright. If the Deer is a female, it will have no antlers and look outward more. Baby Deer look like a much smaller (And slightly spottier) version of the female Deer. They are taataly Usless. Dont waste your time with them.
A Deer will occasionally Drop Fur when killed, which can be crafted into Armor. They will also drop beef when killed.
A Deer will run away from anything bigger than a chicken. Being a passive Mob, they are peaceful creatures, and will never attack. However, when running, they can be very fast sprinters, as well as high jumpers, and will jump around wildly when trying to escape. Deer can jump over wooden fences. This can make Deer difficult to attack or trap.
Like many untamable Mobs in the Mo' Creatures Mod, a Deer will despawn after some time, making any efforts other than killing them useless. However, as previously mentioned, due to the fact they sprint and jump so frantically, they are difficult to kill.
Like most passive Mobs, Deer can be sent into Love Mode when fed Wheat. Though they can be sent into Love Mode, Deer cannot actually breed. A Deer will be forced to come out of Love Mode if it is attacked. Once given Wheat, a Deer will often forever remain in Love Mode, and must be attacked in order to come out of Love Mode.
