Do you think you would make a good Big Brother or Big Sister?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 2, 2007
"Yes. I have six brothers and sisters and I'm an education major, so I love kids."
"Sure. I'm a dependable person, and I've had experience working with kids through coaching sports and taking care of my little sister."
"No, because I'm busy all the time and I swear a lot."
"If I had the time, I think so. I have a little brother and sister, and nieces and nephews that I take care of sometimes. So I think I could do it."
H_Lecter 8 years, 10 months ago
I already am. It's a great organization.
acg 8 years, 10 months ago
Probably not. I also swear a lot.
Ceallach 8 years, 10 months ago
I'm the oldest of eight children and I was/am a wonderful Big Sister, whether they appreciate my loving guidance or not :):)
Ceallach 8 years, 10 months ago
Don't hold back now, Py, let us know how you really feel :):)
jonas 8 years, 10 months ago
I'd like to think I'd probably be pretty good. I'd have less of a casualty rate than O-Bob, or Lecter, at any rate.
sunflower_sue 8 years, 10 months ago
Nope. I have no experience w/ younger siblings. And I also swear a lot.
trinity 8 years, 10 months ago
hah, glad to read i'm not the only grump here today. /:-x
Ceallach 8 years, 10 months ago
"All the forced babysitting of younger sibs: dragging them along when I was with my friends: grrr"
Py, mine was the era of drive-in theatres. My father had no problem with me going on a date to the drive-in . . . as long as I was accompanied by one older or 2 younger sibs. Needless to say, they made a lot of trips to the concession stand ;)
waydownsouth 8 years, 10 months ago
WOW you guys are on a roll today I'm laughing so hard my side is hurting. What a way to start a day.
classclown 8 years, 10 months ago
Depends on how much it pays.
sgtwolverine 8 years, 10 months ago
I would make a fantastic Big Brother. Spying on people all day, wiretapping, intercepting cell phone calls and emails, bugging houses, following people ... I'd be great at it.
Oh, wait. That's not what they meant, is it.
May Soo 8 years, 10 months ago
No, I am 16 years older than my little brother and he hates me because I was more of a mom than sister to him.
juscin3 8 years, 10 months ago
Well, middle, I have ya beat. :)~ (not that it's a contest or anything of the sort) My sister and I are 18 yrs apart. (dad got remarried) I enjoyed being a big sister to her. We done the shopping thing and all that good stuff. We both have kids that are 11 yrs apart.
I would be scared to even think about having H_L for a big brother for my kids...makes mental note: make sure he isn't my kidlets big brother :)~
GretchenJP 8 years, 9 months ago
No, I don't think I would. Children make me nervous. I'd be thinking too hard and analyzing everything I did. They wouldn't have much fun with me.
420 8 years, 9 months ago
Sounds like fun.....I'll try anything once!
True_To_KU 8 years, 9 months ago
I have never had a younger brother or sister, but I'm going to safely guess that I would be BAD! I require too much attention myself, and I don't think I could stand that kind of stress. Suprisingly I ended up being a pretty good mom Ha!

Oh the dates will be August 7th-14th.

It would help to know more. What is your budget? Do you prefer the beach or a pool? Do you want activities or do you want to just relax? Do you want an adults only resort or is a family resort OK?
Report Abuse
Hi schmerl,
Budget $1200ish but open. Preferably Adults only but open . Both beach & pool. Some activites for my Aunt and mom. I plan to eat, drink & be merry poolside while I tan. thanks.
Report Abuse
If you want Punta Cana, look into the Iberostar resorts. There are a few in the Iberostar complex...each at a different price point. Great beach and pool areas, good service. You won't find really great food at an AI resort, but what they have is fine and you won't go hungry.
You may also have luck finding AI resorts in your price point in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico.

Sculpture or paraphernalia? 'Degenerate Art: The Art & Culture of Glass Pipes'
Fact: Some glass pipes are fancier than others.
And a good number of folks who create the fancy variety would prefer their work be called art instead of just, you know, paraphernalia.
At 7 p.m. Nov. 16, the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., is screening a documentary titled "Degenerate Art: The Art & Culture of Glass Pipes." The film explores the culture of glass pipe-making from the origins of Bob Snodgrass' famous "color-changing" pipe to what filmmakers describe as the "radical emerging art movement it has become today."
The trailer includes video clips of pipe-makers with torches and their completed Chihuly-esque glass creations — multicolored, sculptural, elaborate and in some cases a yard or more tall. It also includes shots of pipe-makers being arrested in a paraphernalia sting several years back, which of course the film decries.
"This subversive art challenges our right to free speech and expression, as well as reflecting the nature of the people who make and collect the pieces," says the film's synopsis. "One of the last true underground American scenes, glass pipe art remains invisible to mainstream culture."
Here's the arts center's event listing: www.lawrenceartscenter.org/film
And, for the trailer and more on the film, the "Degenerate Art" website: www.degenerateartfilm.com

Until now there's more in interest in what will be powering the next Ford F-350 Super Duty than what it will look like. It's already been announced the problematic 6.0L Powerstroke diesel will be replaced by a new twin-turbo 6.4L diesel motor that may utilize piezo injectors to help meet more stringent emissions standards that take effect next year.

Our mission is to make life easier for nonprofit leaders
Elevate works with effective and ambitious nonprofit organizations to make life easier for their leaders, improve their program outcomes, and build more sustainable organizations capable of doing the hard, day-to-day work of meaningful social change.
Foundations, corporations, or public agencies our grant writers have submitted proposals to in the past few years.
Total funds our grant writers have raised for the nonprofit causes they support.
Nonprofit organizations we've worked with since Elevate launched in January 2013.
Grant Writing Testimonials
What Elevate provides is much more than just grant writing expertise: it's a sincere interest in the success and growth of their clients. Their staff is helpful, responsive and makes you feel supported in the work that you are doing -- no phone call or email goes unanswered. They become partners in strengthening your organization and an experienced sounding board for new ideas and nascent projects.Tyler Penfield Associate ProducerTheater Mitu
What stands out to me about Elevate is how quickly my assigned team was able to quickly understand our mission and needs in order to set up a quality grant-writing system that is able to compete effectively for grant opportunities. I appreciate the dedicated team assigned to our account so that we have a consistent experience and have the opportunity to learn from each other. With Elevate's support, our organization is now on the radar of several major foundations.Linda Cornish Executive DirectorSeafood Nutrition Partnership
I interviewed 6 different grant writers and fundraising firms and Elevate stood out. From the moment that we started working with Elevate, I was impressed. They quickly came up to speed on our organization and were able to jump right in. Alayna and her team were able to help us to respond to 5 funding requests, prepare reports for foundations large and small, identify two new funding opportunities and formulate development materials to articulate the direction of the organization under its new leadership, all in less than three months. I feel that almost any other organization – local, national, small, large, start-up or established – could benefit from working with Elevate.Anne Tilma Non-profit & Philanthropic Consultant
Working with Elevate has been an enriching experience. Our team of consultants are true professionals who are passionate about their craft and are motivated by a sincere desire to see us succeed. Contracting Elevate has helped us with our development efforts and increased my capacity to oversee programming, train and develop my staff, and focus on other high-need areas. Additionally, it has afforded me the time to cultivate and strengthen relationships with community partners and current and potential donors. We have seen an incredible return on investment and look forward to our continued partnership.Daniel Sarmiento Former Executive DirectorEdu-Futuro
Can we raise your expectations of grant writing?
Through extensive research, careful strategy, and exceptional writing, we help our nonprofit clients grow.

Big League Stew
Phillies starter Vince Velasquez could be targeted in trade talksKyle Ringo at Big League Stew45 mins ago
Vince Velasquez is putting together a constructive sophomore season for the Philadelphia Phillies and could be a target for other teams in trade talks as the trade deadline approaches.
Velasquez is 8-2 with a 3.34 ERA heading into Friday night's start in Atlanta against the Braves. After a bit of a rough stretch in June, he has been solid in July and hasn't taken a loss since late May.
He'll be looking for a fourth consecutive outing of at least six innings in what is Yahoo Sports' MLB Free Game of the Day. The contest, which starts at 7:35 p.m. ET, can be streamed at Yahoo's Sports Home, MLB index, video home, the Yahoo Sports app and this very post. Local blackouts apply per MLB rules.

After a pinch-hit double Thursday night, Ichiro Suzuki sits at 2,998 MLB hits. That puts him well within striking distance of the magic 3,000-mark Friday night when the Miami Marlins say he'll be in the starting lineup.
[Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now]
With 3,000 in sight — he'll be the 30 th player to join the prestigious club — ESPN's Marly Rivera published an exclusive interview with Ichiro that touches on a number of topics ranging from retirement (he says he wants to play until he's 50) to the attention that comes with his 3,000-hit pursuit (he says outsiders care more than he does). The entire thing is worth your time.
Young Red Sox fan takes a bow after snaring line drive foul ballKyle Ringo at Big League Stew2 hrs ago
Bringing your glove to the ballpark is never a bad idea if you're sitting down close to the action and it paid off nicely for a young man Thursday night in Anaheim.
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was at the plate in the eighth inning facing Los Angeles Angels reliever Joe Smith. Pedroia sent a line drive foul ball into the stands behind the first-base dugout where a boy raised his mitt and snagged the ball, undoubtedly saving someone in the crowd from either being hit or coming close to a painful experience.
The catch was nice enough but what made this moment even better was the crowd giving the young Boston fan a nice ovation and him soaking it in with a bow. Well done, young man.
Making a great catch and receiving an ovation from nearby fans undoubtedly made it easier for the young fan to handle the Angels' 2-1 win over Boston in walk-off fashion on a Hanley Ramirez throwing error.

Anthony Rizzo and Dioner Navarro get after each other in rivalryKyle Ringo at Big League Stew3 hrs ago
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo pushed Chicago White Sox catcher Dioner Navarro in the back and later threw Navarro's batting gloves on the ground Thursday night in the finale of a bitter interleague series between the two teams.
Normally this type of behavior from Rizzo would have been met with retaliation from Navarro and the White Sox and might even have led to something really ugly.
But Rizzo and Navarro are buddies and this was all done in fun. Rizzo and Navarro were teammates on the Cubs in 2013, when they became friends. Apparently that friendship remains strong enough today that they feel comfortable messing with each other during a rivalry game that often gets blood boiling in the Windy City.
The Cubs beat the White Sox 3-1 to split the four-game series, with each team winning both games in their home ballpark.

Mike Trout pays tribute to David Ortiz with gold chain, sunglassesMike Oz at Big League Stew11 hrs ago
If David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox hadn't been in town, you might have looked at Mike Trout's pre-game garb Thursday night and wondered if he was wearing some sort of Run-DMC costume.
[Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now]
The gold chain. The sunglasses. All he needed to do was start chanting, "I'm the king of rock, there is none higher … I won't stop rockin' til I retire."
Ahh, but this was about retirement — specifically Ortiz's. With Big Papi in Anaheim for the final time in his playing career, the Angels joined the retirement-tour party and gave Ortiz a nice send-off. Aside from a present (a cool portrait that had "Big Papi" scrawled across it), Trout and Angels coach Alfredo Griffin put on sunglasses and gold chains to mimic Ortiz's flamboyant style.
For someone like Trout, who is usually as plain as it gets, this was both a surprising and entertaining turn.

The Red Sox's season is in its most perilous position yetHenry Bushnell at Big League Stew12 hrs ago
ANAHEIM, Calif. — As Xander Bogaerts tugged his navy blue batting practice pullover down over his muscular shoulders inside the visitor's clubhouse at Angel Stadium on Thursday night, the Red Sox shortstop snuck into an exasperated smile.
A pregame interview had arrived at the topic of Boston's inability to win low-scoring games; of the offense's firepower carrying a struggling pitching staff; of the offense's firepower inhibited by a struggling pitching staff.
Bogaerts' eyes got wide, and, incredulous, he shook his head.
"How many games we won like that?" he asked, knowing it hadn't been many. "I don't think we won a 1-0 game yet, eh?"
Bogaerts was slightly mistaken. Boston beat Atlanta 1-0 back on April 25. But his sentiment was spot on. Coming into Thursday, the Red Sox were 2-27 in games in which they had scored three runs or fewer. By comparison, the Orioles were 11-28; the Tigers were 8-30; the Yankees were 13-41.
Now the Sox are 2-28.

Samsung to challenge $120M damages award in Apple patent suitSouth Korean electronics giant Samsung will reportedly challenge the $120 million in damages awarded to Apple as part of the companies' most recent courtroom battle, with Samsung's lead attorney saying the verdict was "unsupported by evidence."
"Of course we're pleased that the jury awarded Apple 6 percent of what they were asking for," Samsung attorney John Quinn said in a statement obtained by Bloomberg. "But even that can't stand, because Apple kept out all the real world evidence and didn't produce anything to substitute for it, so you have a verdict that's unsupported by evidence — and that's just one of its problems."
Apple had asked the court for more than $2 billion after alleging Samsung infringed on five patents — including swipe-to-text, universal search, and data detectors — while a Samsung counterargument sought just over $6 million for two patents of its own. A jury found both parties guilty of infringement but ordered Samsung to pay just $119.6 million and Apple to deliver only $158,000 to its rival.
Following what was described as a "clerical error" that left Samsung unpenalized for at least one infringing handset, the jury subsequently revised individual payouts but left the total award unchanged.
Appealing the verdict would be a sound financial decision for Samsung, according to Villanova University law professor Michael Risch. "At this stage an appeal is cheap, even if the total can be reduced by $10-$20 million," Risch said.
Samsung has already lost more than $900 million to Apple after falling in two previous lawsuits. An unsuccessful appeal of this most recent skirmish would push Samsung's total losses to the iPhone maker over the billion dollar mark.

Over $1.5 million has been spent on preparing stadium-standard grass in Canterbury but it may never be used. Geoff Longley reports.
A field of dreams lies out in Ohoka, North Canterbury which may never be brought into play.
Almost 1.5 hectares of high quality turf worth about $1.5m has been fertilised, manicured and watered on leased land for just over a year now with no-one having set their sprigs into it.
Many thousands of taxpayers dollars are being poured into its upkeep with an estimated cost about $10,000 a month to maintain it on the off chance it could be needed for use in Canterbury or at some other stadium in New Zealand.
The specialist hard-wearing turf, "Eclipse" from Australian company HG Sports Turf Pty Ltd was originally ordered to be installed in the old AMI Stadium after the February 22 earthquake last year.
It is the same "ready to play" surface that had been introduced successfully at the ground in 2008 and used elsewhere in New Zealand at Eden Park and Waikato Stadium and also at several major venues in Australia.
Only problem is there is nowhere to plant it permanently in the province so it sits there soaking up the rural Canterbury climate.
Government contributed $4m to provide a replacement turf for the AMI in Phillipstown to host rugby again after it needed repair following liquefaction of the drainage system and mounding of the playing surface.
However as structural issues with the stands at the ground arose last year creating insurance wrangles the temporary facility in Addington at Rugby League Park was devised and fast-tracked.
Government funding was directed to that and useable turf from the original venue ended up being laid there effectively leaving a football field sitting spare at Ohoka.
Michael Aitken, the general manager of community services for the Christchurch City Council, defended the retention and maintenance of the turf despite lacking a permanent home.
He said the turf was a valuable short term asset for the city and maybe used to repair damaged turf at Addington or other venues in New Zealand.
Aitken said the turf had been ordered not long after the earthquake, land leased and construction was well underway before doubts began to crystallise about the future of the old AMI.
Plenty of turf from AMI was rolled up and relaid at Addington with a small amount, 1755sqm, being topped up from Ohoka.
"Some turf was damaged at AMI but the ground at Addington is considerably smaller so didn't need as much," Aitken said.
"We believe it is important to have a contingency plan with the turf for Addington or any other stadium in New Zealand."
He believed it was more cost effective to keep the turf living at its Ohoka nursery than brown it off and sever existing arrangements.
Differences of opinion have surfaced over how long the turf can be useable in its nursery state.
Turf experts spoken to by the Press firmly believe it only has a life span of 2-3 years before needing to be resewn or transplanted to a permanent facility with the appropriate drainage.
HG Sports Turf managing director Hamish Sutherland from Melbourne referred all questions to Aitken.
Aitken said it was his belief the turf was usable for five years in its nursery form. He understood replacement occured every five years whether in the nursery or at a stadium.
Aitken said when the new permanent stadium in Christchurch is built in the city precinct the turf will be ready for immediate use. If the stadium development was delayed beyond five years then new turf would be needed.
Aitken said some consideration was given to using the reinforced turf at Hagley Oval with the upgrade to the cricket playing surface but it was felt the ground would not need such heavy duty turf.
Should the new stadium in Christchurch be a covered one, the turf at Ohoka would not be suitable for the facility.

I was once called a \"techno-wimp\" and although I�ve come a long way since then in knowing how to use my computer, the challenge of setting up my own art website caused me no end of angst. I was concerned about the cost, about finding someone competent to design it for me, about exactly what the content and capabilities of the site should be, and convinced that once I got a custom site off the ground, I would find from use that I should have done things differently. When I found out about MyArtClub.com, and actually tried it out, it was such a relief to realize I could set the whole thing up myself. In less than an hour I was officially on the world wide web, and there was nothing to it! Cost me peanuts and I had a site specifically designed for artists. Bit by bit I�m learning to use all the available features, and my questions to the webmaster are promptly and helpfully answered. I can�t imagine why anyone would want to go to the expense and hassle of custom-designing their own site when MyArtClub is available. Peter Kiidumae

"Thank you" seems rather shallow to express how grateful and pleased I am not only to be part of My Art Club .Com but with myself. MyArtClub.Com is to be commended for its quality presence, technological expertise and sensitivity to those who would otherwise have no clue as to how to go about putting things together. Once you both got my wheels on the right track I quite enjoyed the process. For me and my rather old Windows 98, I felt rather smug about the results at 77 years young. The "poppies" are making a strong statement as noted this morning in "Fan" mail. I�ve sent out an emailing, some of which can be called mutual admiration society; so you may encounter other artists who wish to "shake hands across the rockies." Gratefully yours

I have a website to promote my pet portrait paintings. While I am not that computer skilled, through MyArtClub.Com I learned how to easily create a site and do my own changes. I can add my latest work to let clients see my work anytime, anywhere. I even use a personal domain name so my website comes up directly. The web site is a year-long gift to artists costing just $44.95 for one whole year for 20 images. Add ten images for $14.95 more. Separate studios (I do paint other images besides pets) on the website allows me to look professional while I manage the entire thing myself. The best part was that I was set up and on my own website in less than three hours. And it includes my own unique domain name. Selling pet portraits was made easy with a personal web address for my Modern Dog magazine advertising and business cards. Results come as commissions from expanding my customer base. My site is on search engines, customers can find me. On Google I am top on the page. I keep in touch using the site�s built in email system. My customers really appreciate it. I used it when I moved recently from Vancouver to Gabriola Island. I tell customers news like about our Annual Gabriola Thanksgiving Art Studio tour, or my shared Nanaimo art studio "Gallery 223". Groups also use MyArtClub.Com to promote. I belong to several art groups now using MyArtClub.Com. As more artists and groups join, there�s more traffic for all. Technical details are not my worry. All I need to do fill in forms and attach image files. Support is great too. If you want to create a website you control, give Peter or Cam a call at MyArtClub.Com!

"RE: Regret purchasing D600 vs D800"
Yes - the controversy bores me. Other than that, no, not really. The dust has been far from unmanageable although somewhat more prominent than previous bodies. The camera is in the high 6,000's with two wet cleanings to date and none currently needed. Zero oil.Oh, and no regret. I've been happily shooting through the whole brouhaha and have lost zero shots to dust. I have much more creative ways to foul up . . . Best,Hendrik

Coming Out of the Closet, Amber Heard Walks Red Carpet With Her Lesbian Partner
Amber Heard has come clean about her sexual orientation. The actress who is tapped to play Johnny Depp's love interest in movie "The Rum Diary" tagged along her lesbian partner Tasya van Ree, walking proudly on the red carpet of GLAAD 25th Anniversary Party on Friday night, December 3. She wore red ensemble in contrast of her partner who opted dark outfit.
Heard decided to come out of the closet because she doesn't want to be "a part of the problem." She told AfterEllen.com, "When millions and millions of hard-working, tax paying Americans are denied their rights and denied their equality you have to ask yourself what are the factors that are an epidemic problem and that's what this is."
"Injustice can never be stood for. It always must be fought against and I just was sick of it being a problem. Because I'm in the media I was aware of it and I luckily was introduced to GLAAD and am honored that they wanted me to be a part of tonight because it is such an important organization."
During the event, she managed to speak on the podium and presented the Founder's Award to GLAAD/LA Founder and First Executive Director Richard Jennings. "I think GLAAD is one of the many reasons that I, as a 24-year-old, can come out," she said. "I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you're inadvertently admitting it's wrong. I don't feel like I'm wrong. I don't feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who they love or they were born how they were born."

Queen for a day at the fair
Annie's Belle was a pretty goat, but she'd never been to the big city.
The entirety of her short life had been spent nibbling scrub brush at the Lazy U in Athol, Idaho. All that changed Tuesday after her owner, Vicki Upchurch, entered the doe in the best of breed competition for Boer goats at the Spokane County Interstate Fair.
Annie's Belle turned out to be more than a tin-can glimmer in a ram's eye. She won grand prize.
If her story stopped there, the sturdy doe's accomplishments would be a 10-word blurb in a fair program. It doesn't because of a worldly goat named SFB Odette who showed up at the Interstate fair with three championships and several county fairs under her collar.
The doe from Shelley, Idaho, was major league. Annie's Belle was strictly farm team.
"She's been to 10 fairs since May," said Upchurch of Odette after the battle.
A clause in the rules for show goats allows a proven champion like Odette with at least three titles to skip competing with a full field of entrants and instead, go straight for the newly crowned champion.
Odette threw down the challenge and won. The newcomer from Athol learned that away from the farm, they don't treat you like a kid.
"It's very competitive," said Debby O'Brian, judge of Tuesday's competition.
As the entrants lined up with their backsides poking out for inspection, O'Brian passed by each animal, while speaking into a microphone.
"This goat says 'I can reproduce. I have the quality. I'm the doe every buck wants to meet," said O'Brian, circling a competitor.
It's a lot like a beauty pageant, with traces of gymnastics and professional wrestling thrown in for good measure.
Young goats get points for being light on their feet and for their gracefulness. The goat that stands tiptoe like a cloven ballerina scores big style points. Older competitors get points for being full-bodied, female adults. And title ribbons are abundant; professional boxing has fewer grand champions.
A big motivator for all the fanfare is money. SFB Odette's owner, Alesia Sterner, said contest recognition pushes up the value of her breeding stock. Her 70 animals are mostly sold to other ranchers who raise the animals for meat.
Americans aren't big on goat meat, but for 90 percent of the world's meat consumers, goat is what's for dinner, O'Brian and Sterner said.
As goats go, Boers are an exceptional breed. Originating from the South African plains, they're built for the hard life. Their black skin and white fur deflects the sun much like a polar bear. The animals are disease tolerant and built to run away from fast predators like cheetahs, O'Brian said.
Upchurch said her goats can give birth in the snow with a low mortality rate, unlike dairy goats that have to be brought inside. They're more than a pretty face.
The goats are on display throughout the week at the Spokane Interstate Fair, which is actually seeing a boost in attendance despite cooler weather, according to fair spokeswoman Dolly Hughes. The fair ends Sunday.

, management and development of water, land and related resources across sectors within a given river basin in order to maximize the economic and social benefits derived from water resources in an equitable manner while preserving and where necessary, restoring freshwater ecosystems" 1 INTRODUCTION A river basin is the entire area drained by a river, including its tributaries. Experts agree that the best approach to conserving the world's freshwater resources is through managing river basins sustainably. We need to make wise choices about resource use, based on an understanding of how to maintain dynamic, living systems in the long term. River basins are important from hydrological, economic and ecological points of view. They absorb and channel the run-off from snow-melt and rainfall which, when wisely managed, can provide fresh drinking water as well as access to food, hydropower, building materials (e.g. reeds for thatching), medicines and recreational opportunities.They also form a critical link between land and sea, providing transportation routes for people, and making it possible for fish to migrate between marine and freshwater systems. By acting as natural 'filters' and 'sponges', well-managed basins play a vital role in water purification, water retention and regulation of flood peaks. In many parts of the world, seasonal flooding remains the key to maintaining fertility for grazing and agriculture. Last but not least, these often very large-scale ecosystems combine both terrestrial (e.g. forest and grassland) and aquatic (e.g. river, lake and marsh) components, thereby providing a wide diversity of habitats for plants and animals. ITS APPROACH AND FRAMEWORK The key concept of integrated river basin management is the participation of stakeholders in decision making or other functions of management, notably in water resources planning. It is crucial to set up a platform in which all relevant stakeholders are represented. This platform is meant to move away from sector approaches and to create environmental, institutional, social, technical and financial sustainability. The function of the platform is to serve as a tool for dealing with conflicting interests in the process of water resources planning and implementation of water development. It can also play a pivotal role in effective conflict prevention and resolution. key IRBM functions are: (i) water balance assessment, (ii) policies and strategies, (iii)legislation supporting regulatory standards, (iv) planning and allocation, (v) surface andground-water quantity and quality, (vi) inter-agency and community-driven coordination,
(vii)capacity building and (viii) public awareness and participation.

each with its own strengths and weaknesses. such as resources use and flood mitigation. River basins are important ecological units and the river itself reflects all the environmental changes that occur in the basin – be it changes in land use or discharges of waste. each planning and managing its particular sector of water use. but to establish priorities and balance the various sector interest in a way that facilitates clear and specific actions to address the main issues. agreed to by all the major stakeholders. It is crucial that an IRBM plan adequately covers and integrates the full array of water concerns. the private sector. The IRBM plan should identify measures to achieve the planning objectives and specify concrete short-term and long-term actions. A solid foundation of knowledge of the river basin and the natural and socio-economic forces that influence it. Strategic decision-making at the river basin scale. There is several issues IRBM focus on are coordination among agencies and states. river sand mining. In addition. decisions and costs across sectoral interests such as industry. THE SUSTAINABILITY COMPONENT OF IRBM ENCOMPASSING ENVIROMENTAL AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINBAILITY The aim of the IRBM plan is thus to provide overall guidance. Adequate investment by governments. and catchment protection and zoning. erosion and sedimentation and many more. Planning requires a long-term vision to seek appropriate environmental investments that fulfill the entire objectives of IRBM. catchment or river basin planning. river pollution. IRBM still focuns on water quality and ecological issues. fisheries management and conservation. taking advantage of opportunities as they arise while working within a strategic framework. Active participation by all relevant stakeholders in well-informed and transparent planning and decision-making. natural basin borders rarely coincide with political and administrative borders. WHERE WE WERE. So based on this issue . including through poverty reduction strategies. However. Most initiatives have been in the form of IRBM plans. Its intent is not to dwell on management details. many departments and agencies are involved. Legal And Institutional Framework Malaysia already has several examples of integrated watershed. Effective timing. Integration of policies. wastewater treatment. WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WHERE WE ARE HEADING IRBM in Malysia still focus on its original conceptand issues. which guides actions at sub-basin or local levels.The seven key elements to a successful IRBM initiative are: A long-term vision for the river basin. navigation. and civil society organisations in capacity for river basin planning and participation processes. agriculture. urban development. making it difficult to attend to the ecological linkages across basins. .

From previous river rehabilitation studies conducted by DOE. integrated assessment is needed to inform a process of negotiation and to resolve conflicts between new objectives and existing practices as well as to set management targets that are quantitative. the effort that has been put in is insufficient.

The Pollution Prevention and River Water Quality Improvement Programme has four stages of activities. Firstly is the detail study of the river basin in terms of pollution sources and impact on the quality of the water in the basin. Sungai Segget and Sungai Tebrau Basins have been completed in 2003. Among the key objectives of this programme are: (i) To identify all the point sources and non-point sources of pollution in the subject river basin and to determine the pollution loads and their impact on water quality of that river. Sungai Tebrau. (ii) To prepare and to implement plans of action for the rehabilitation and improvement of river water quality from the polluted/slightly polluted category to clean category according to the water quality classification for purposes of potable water supply. the accepted action plans will then be presented to various responsible agencies for funding application and allocation for implementation and finally the operational and maintenance plans to ensure conservation and sustainability of the achieved water quality. Batang Rajang and river systems in Cameron Highlands. Studies for the Sungai Langat. The study on Sungai Melaka commenced in 2003 and will be completed in 2004. recreational activities and tourism (iii) To conserve and continuously maintain the clean status of river water quality after the rehabilitation and qualityimprovement works have been completed. DOE continues to embark on its enforcement and awareness programmes. based on the findings of the study action plans to reduce. recreational and tourism products are to be formulated. Sungai Segget. For the other remaining 20 riverbasins. six rivers were initially selected for detailed feasibility studies in the rehabilitation programme.CAN IRBM IMPLEMENTATION WHERE A DIFFERENT APPROACH IS BEING USED? A program known as Pollution Prevention and River Water Quality Improvement Programme was initiated with a view to rehabilitate rivers with serious pollution problems to ultimately meet its beneficial uses. while studies on rivers in Cameron Highlands and Batang Rajang Basins began in early 2004 and will be completed in 2005. .
