Children with disabilities remain amongst the most marginalised and underprivileged members of Egyptian society. Only 5 percent of people with disabilities are able to access the support they need, as such services are hard to find and often very costly.
Children with disabilities are often prevented from attending school and excluded from other areas of social life.
Plan is working in 30 communities across Egypt to address the rights and needs of children who have a disability. By setting up specialist centres in towns and villages, Plan is providing vital support services, agitating for educational inclusion and promoting equal opportunities for all young people in Egypt.
Abdel Aal and his family live in the town of El Wehda. When Abdel was two years old, his mother brought him to one of Plan's centres because she noticed he was experiencing difficulties with his speech. Here, she learnt of her son's hearing impairment, and Plan provided her with the support and information she needed to help facilitate her son's development and learning.
Plan supported Abdel to participate in activities within the community and make friends with other children his age and, with the help of a hearing aid, Abdel made rapid progress with his speech.
Meanwhile, Abdel's mother benefitted from the parent support sessions provided by Plan, which provided her with useful advice as well as the opportunity to meet other parents in similar positions with whom to share her experiences and concerns.
"The knowledge I have gained from these sessions has helped me become more effective in the way I raise my son, given his disability. I have become more patient and understanding. Having the skills to deal with this has made me stronger and this is how I want every mother to feel. I have decided to share what I have learned with other women and mothers so that their children may also benefit," she says.
"I'm not scared anymore. I see how Abdel Aal is improving and learning every day. I am here to support him," she adds.
By helping communities to enhance their provisions for young people with disabilities, Plan has enabled 5000 children like Abdel get the support they need.

SaaS, New Releases and Your Lack of Control
SaaS vendors view upgrades differently from those offering on premise, licensed software.
SaaS vendors view upgrades differently from those offering on premise, licensed software.
One difference I am starting to see between SaaS (Software as a Service) and on premise, licensed software is the way vendors view upgrades.
I don't have enough data to make any conclusions yet but I've seen enough examples to make me wonder if a new model of legacy support is emerging.
From what I've seen over many years in the IT industry, software vendors tended to slowly remove support for features they wanted to get rid of. When you make a major version upgrade you might read in the documentation that a function or set of services is being deprecated. You know you should avoid using this feature because it's been replaced by another, more powerful version or it will not be supported in a future release. If you have code that makes use of such features you'll have time to revise your code and come up with an alternate solution to your requirement.
I suspect SaaS support models are morphing into something different. Rather than give you a long window of time to upgrade (e.g. the time between major upgrades), you might find a notice in the SaaS provider's blog that an API function is going away or a feature will work differently in the next release. In a worst case scenario, the changes will just appear without any action on your part.
If you are the cloud application administrator, expect a few calls from users when this happens.
A better version of this scenario allows you to choose whether to continue to use the older version of a feature or switch to the newer version. Google used this option when deploying its new Gmail interface and Google Drive. Users had the option to keep the classic mail interface for a while; they could even try the new interface and switch back temporarily if they did not like it.
Google, however, was the one to decide when everyone would have to use the new interface. Google Docs users have the option of switching from their collections based organization to the Google Drive model. The interfaces are pretty similar but there were important changes in functionality. For example, in the collections model, when you organized documents they could be placed in multiple collections. This was ideal for document sharing across multiple groups of users with different access privileges to your collections.
In Google Drive, you choose a single folder to contain a document much like a conventional file directory. There are pros and cons to both approaches but the issue is not which is better. The issue is how much control do you have over feature sets and when they are deployed?
SaaS providers can justify an "our way or the highway" approach for no-charge services (they are not free services, we trade plenty of personal information for services in some cases). The paid version of Google Apps gives administrators a choice between rapid release and schedule releases.
When choosing a SaaS provider you are buying into features offered today and whatever features the provider may choose to support in the future. How much say will you have? If feature changes become disruptive, expect to see service level agreements specifying feature lifetimes and transition requirements along with standard measures like application uptime and storage durability.

I have a small thinwire soho lan with some VAXstations,
some PC's running linux with DECnet and LAT for linux
(see [url]http://linux-decnet.wiki.sourceforge.net/[/url] and
[url]http://linux-decnet.wiki.sourceforge.net/LAT[/url] for info),
and a DECserver 90L+ with some VT420's. The VT's connect
to the VAXstations fine and dandy. They also connect
okay to the PC's, but with one small glitch.
Every 11th or 12th or 13th or 14th (seems to vary
randomly in that range) keystroke isn't executed or echoed.
It seems to get buffered somewhere, though, because as soon
as I press another key, then both keystrokes are executed
and echoed immediately. What's this behavior called (so that
I can google it which I've failed to do so far), and how
can I fix it (if it's fixable)?
And a probably unrelated question: what keystroke (combination)
sends an ESC char, e.g., so I can use vi from the VT420?
Someone mentioned F11 (which doesn't work), and I can't find
any way to make the key labelled `(ESC)~ on the LK401 work.

Kumar Mangalam Birla: A Man For All Seasons
Image: Dinesh Krishnan
Award: Entrepreneur for the Year
Name: Kumar Mangalam Birla
Chairman, Aditya Birla Group
Age: 45
Why He Won: For changing the profile of the century-old conglomerate, earlier dominant in old economy segments. For entering new businesses and for gradually increasing international operations and geographic spread, through mergers and acquisitions.
What you are is a creation of the choices you've made until now. What you will be is a function of the choices you make today. For all practical purposes, it sounds like an immutable truth. Because there seems little else that explains the likes of Kumar Mangalam Birla. Why is the man who presides as chairman of the Aditya Birla group where he is now? And why is he driving the group into making the kind of choices it is today?
To put things into perspective, in the buoyant year that was 2008, Indian entrepreneurs seemed a frothy lot. The business press was bursting at its seams in trying to document stories of their ambitions and frenzied action in corner offices. Companies based out of India were trying their damndest best to acquire or merge their assets in other parts of the world. It was "India Shining", many said.
Birla was among the first who stoked the frenzy. In February 2007, he announced his group would pay $6 billion to acquire an American company, Novelis. Debt-ridden and in distress, Birla thought it a good time to buy the world's largest aluminum-manufacturing company. In a text-bookish statement, he then said, "It is in line with our long-term strategies of expanding our global presence across our various businesses and is consistent with our vision of taking India to the world."
Be that as it may, coupled with Tata's landmark acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover a year earlier, that was perhaps the reason why in 2008, 1,270 deals with Indian participation were announced. Research and Markets, a firm that tracks such activity across the world, computed the total value of these deals at $50 billion. For a while, all looked pink and pretty and a world dominated by companies from emerging markets like India seemed inevitable.
It is a while away before numbers for the current year are computed. Anecdotal evidence indicates that though the emerging markets theory continues to hold good, all is not well. It is not uncommon to hear Indian entrepreneurs use a quaint term to describe their current predicament—an 'investment holiday'!
But it is an alien term in the corridors of the group's Mumbai-based headquarters. On the contrary, Kumar Birla wants turnover to touch $65 billion by 2015 from the $40 billion it is right now. While the goal was set during more sanguine times, Birla refuses to budge. In fact, as recently as this May, he announced the group's intent to acquire Pantaloon Retail for Rs 1,600 crore. The proposal is pending regulatory approvals. "Our success rate on M&A is 85 percent—this is for results that have exceeded our benchmarks," claims Dev Bhattacharya, the group head for corporate strategy.
Given this kind of numbers, we thought it an interesting exercise to dig deeper into the choices Kumar Birla exercised in the past to understand what his future could look like.
Choice #1: Persist
When Kumar Birla was 34, a Barcelona-based acrylic fibre company showed up on his radar. That was in 2001. This was the kind of company the group would do well to acquire. His team put a proposal in place and shot it off. But those were the days when Brand Birla was unknown outside India. And so their calls went unanswered. When they finally got through, the chairman of the Barcelona-based firm thought it a pointless exercise and gave the meeting a skip. Instead, he sent a junior executive to find what the 'upstarts' had in mind. Nothing came of the meeting.
On his part, Birla kept his head and thought waiting it out was a good idea. Two years later, the firm went bankrupt and the Indians had an awfully good time picking and choosing from the debris assets they thought would be useful to their business.
While it is easy to think of the Barcelona-based chief executive as myopic, fact is, he was going by his perception of the world—companies that originate from emerging markets like India are bottom fishers out to squabble for a cheap deal. He wasn't the only one.
Around the same time, Columbian Chemicals was up for sale. Birla told his team that if they got Columbian, then owned by US-based Phelps Dodge, they would be the world's largest manufacturer of carbon black—an ingredient used to manufacture automobile tyres. But because the Americans didn't have a clue about Birla, his executives weren't as much as granted an audience and Columbian was auctioned off.
But the company refused to go off Birla's radar, and in July last year, a full 10 years after he had first set his sights on it, he was told JP Morgan, which held a majority stake in Columbian, was looking for a buyer. He offered $800 million and got it.
KMB just took over the business from his forefathers how he can be an Entrepreneur.... see correct definition....
he's just investing the profits into various business which the group had made over the years....

This article by one of the Home Depot founders has been out for a few days, but I thought it would be good to put it up as it communicates, with a sort of barely suppressed rage, how businessfolk in the US feel patronised and insulted by the sort of policymakers in Washington, obviously starting with Obama.
And I would happily wager that there are a lot of business people who feel pretty much the same way about the UK, as well. I just wish we would have more entrepreneurs making these kind of comments.

Villanova University's Honors Program Interdisciplinary Scholars is the most prestigious academic program in the institution. A unique opportunity to explore the classics of Western civilization in a seminar setting, the Interdisciplinary Scholar sequence is a team-taught experience in the Humanities that brings together the university's best faculty and its most exceptional students in a study of the texts and cultures that define our world. The Interdisciplinary Scholar sequence is designed as a three-semester series, beginning in the first semester of the first year, that also fulfills the College of Arts and Sciences' Core Requirements, giving students the opportunity to study the core disciplines of Theology, Philosophy, Literature, Social Science, and History in a way that enables these disciplines to speak to one another in a comprehensive class experience.
In recognition that learning only begins in the classroom, the Honors Program Interdisciplinary Scholars continue to engage their studies by visiting museums and sites, and attending plays that are relevant to the material being studied. In the first course of the sequence, students also have the opportunity to engage ancient texts in exercises in dramatic interpretation and performance.
Honors Program Interdisciplinary Scholars invariably receive a large share of awards and scholarships when they graduate—from Medallions of Excellence at Villanova's commencement exercises to graduate university fellowships and postgraduate national fellowships like the Fulbright, Goldwater, National Science Foundation, Rhodes and Truman Scholarships. In addition, graduating seniors and returning alumni have said that "Interdisc" remained one of their most significant experiences at Villanova.
This learning cohort best for students in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Business.

Local officials have not given up on returning the state police aviation unit to the Williamsport Regional Airport.
Renewed calls for bringing back the state police helicopter used for many years to provide aerial support to local law enforcement agencies and to assist in non-emergency situations and for rescue and support operations were heard at Wednesday night's Lycoming/Sullivan Boroughs Association meeting.
Tonya Anderson, an aide to state Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Williamsport, told municipal officials that "the helicopter belongs here."
The helicopter was moved to Hazleton despite efforts by Mirabito, state Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, and state Rep. Garth Everett, R-Muncy, to have it remain in Lycoming County.
Lawmakers repeatedly have claimed state police officials have never provided viable reasons for the relocation of the aircraft.
And they have questioned why it was moved to a higher elevation where frequent cloud cover brings a much greater chance for aircraft to be grounded.
Mark Murawski, transportation director for the Lycoming County Planning Commission, said state police cited budgetary reasons for the decision.
"Prove to me this is not political," Murawski said. "Show us the budget savings."

Micheala Intveld, right, poses with
Congressman William "Lacy" Clay Jr. She
is this year's winner of Clay's High School
Congressional Art Competition.
Micheala Intveld graduated from McCluer High School in the Ferguson-Florissant School District with a 4.3 grade point average and as class Salutatorian. She was gifted a combined total of $919,000 in college scholarships, a full-ride away from $1 million. She also served as a Transformer in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri's Transform UR Future (TUF) program.
Each high school has a leadership group, called Transformers, and these students serve as mentors to younger kids, receive leadership training and participate in traditional Girl Scout activities like April Showers and the Cookie programs. Intveld explained how she became involved in TUF.
"When Miss J [Jillian Richardson, Girl Scouts staff member] came to my school with her program booth, I got so excited about TUF and the way she described it. I like working with kids, so it felt like it would be a great fit."
TUF is a new anti-violence initiative and through it, Girl Scout staff members have partnered with elementary, middle and high schools in the following school districts - St. Louis Public, Ritenour, Hannibal Public, Ferguson-Florissant, Hazelwood and Festus R-VI, to promote a culture of anti-violence in schools all year long.
"At first, I was supposed to have my own class but I ended up working with other high school students, which was great because we got to bounce ideas off of each other before and after sessions," Intveld said.
In addition to TUF, each middle school hosts a Be a Friend First (BFF) program series and the girls will also participate in Girl Scouts' April Showers and Cookie programs.
"By the end of the TUF program, the elementary school students did not want us to leave; they wanted us to keep talking to them about our lessons. I really liked that they were really into it. We were the teachers. We were role models and at an age where we related to these kids and they to us. They asked if we knew their older siblings or cousins. We were in charge so we had to be on our best behavior as we led the younger students."
Intveld recalled how TUF changed one girl's outlook for the better.
"I remember one girl in third grade who was big for her age and taller than all of the other kids in her class. For that, her classmates often bullied her. At first, she was quiet until we told her about our experiences with bullying. She brightened and by the time TUF ended, she was happy."
Intveld said she anticipates there will be TUF expansion plans in Ferguson-Florissant.
"I hope all three high schools have it next year so that all of the kids get to have the same experience we did and I hope there are more Transformers," she said.
TUF is part of the Project Anti-Violence Education, or PAVE, program. PAVE was developed to address the problem of youth violence. In it, girls grow strong as they become empowered to prevent violence in their lives. The program has been delivered to more than 300,000 girls and boys since its inception in 2000. In 2012-2013, Girl Scouts facilitated PAVE programs in more than 100 schools in eastern Missouri.
Intveld plans to attend Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn., in the fall, where she will major in business administration and minor in graphic design.
She is in the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) competition to design a business plan for her graphic design firm idea, Gradient Graphics.
In the first phase, she pitched her notion at a McCluer business plan competition. She advanced to the NFTE St. Louis Entrepreneurship Pitch Expo at the St. Louis Science Center in May, where she and 10 other Ferguson-Florissant students competed. She spent four minutes before a panel of three judges who evaluated her plan then she had to give a 60-second elevator pitch on stage before an audience. As one of the top two winners, Intveld advanced to the NFTE St. Louis Regional Entrepreneurship Challenge on June 27. The top two regional finishers will move on to the NFTE Nationals in California in October.
Participating in NFTE also enabled Intveld to compete in Saint Louis University's "Cash or Splash!" in early June, which is similar to the hit television series, "Shark Tank." High schools students pitched their entrepreneurial ideas to compete for cash and prizes. Intveld made it as far as the second round before she washed out, literally.
Some of her other achievements include:

Rivoli will have an opening night reception for his exhibition, "Celebrating the Ordinary, A Photojournalist's Tribute to Norman Rockwell's America," 5 to 8 p.m. today at Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center, 205 Genesee St., Auburn.
The exhibition of 85 black-and-white photographs will be at the art center through Oct. 14.
Rivoli has followed in Rockwell's footsteps focusing on everyday events that reveal the subtleties and surprises of situations. His photographs and Rockwell's paintings were paired together in the 2008 book, "In Search of Norman Rockwell's America" (Simon & Schuster). An exhibit of Rivoli's work and original Rockwell paintings toured the United States, Canada and Japan.
Rivoli works as a freelance photographer, shooting for Associated Press, New York Times and USA Today. He has worked as a staff photographer at the Auburn Citizen and assistant photo editor at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

This atlas is a collection of clinical photographs and roentgenographic illustrations of pathologic conditions that involve the oral cavity, face, and cranium. Covered are hereditary disorders, developmental problems, infectious diseases, trauma, neoplasms, and the volume includes a variety of pictures that demonstrate the limits of normality. The authors are well-known, highly respected pedodontists. Although this book might be of greater interest to dentists, it could be of value to the pediatrician confronted with a pathologic oral condition.
The 478 illustrations are nicely reproduced, with reasonably accurate color rendition of the tissues involved. The roentgenograms have been duplicated clearly and should be readily understood even by those not familiar with intraoral roentgenograms. The authors have chosen to depict most of the commonly occurring conditions seen by the clinician. They have also included several rarer conditions, such as trisomy 13-15 syndrome and oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia. In most cases, the illustrations depict a representative

I purchased several to tie together to use as an additional noise maker at my 9 yr old son's football games. They are great quality. Nice size and weight.
Best Uses
These cowbells are just great all around. I was worried that they weren't going to be loud like some cowbells that I've seen in the store that are used for weddings and parties, but these cowbells exceeded my expectations. I am planning on using them for my wedding, so our guests can ring the cowbell on the table if they'd like to see the bride and groom kiss. I was so excited that I found good, sturdy cowbells at such a low price. Upon receiving the package I was just filled with joy. They were perfect in every way. Perfect size and perfect sound! I can't wait to use these for my wedding. Not only are they going to serve a great little purpose but they also make an adorable decoration for the tables.

We report the analysis and results of our interferometric imaging of the Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in Abell 1995 as observed by by the Hat Creek and Owens Valley millimeter interferometers outfitted with 30GHz recievers. We also present our analysis of the 37 ksec ROSAT HRI observation of this cluster. Assuming a spherical geometry for the cluster gas we are able to combine the X-ray observation and the SZ measurement towards Abell 1995 to determine its distance, and hence an estimate of the Hubble constant. The ROSAT HRI X-ray data can be described by an isothermal beta model with beta = 0.64 and core radius = 0.53'. We will present the distance determined from the SZ and X-ray data, assess the statistical and systematic uncertainties, and discuss the the improvement expected from the upcoming 48 ksec Chandra x-ray observation of Abell 1995.

See democrats are capable of creating high paying jobs after all. When they ban those specific guns and high capacity clips,savvy business people will step forward and bring those guns and clips into the state and sell them to who ever wants them albeit at a higher price. They wont be any harder to buy than drugs are today. One of the police chiefs even alluded to this fact in an article in todays paper.

With the events in Boston yesterday, it proves what all of the right protecting people said all along. That no matter how many laws you make, dishonest criminal will always find a way to break the law and cause these types of issues. There are no laws that suddenly produce honest criminals.

Description: This astounding compendium of information on the wrist updates a 1998 publication.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide "an excellent text on which to expand . . . knowledge and, importantly, aid patients in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the wrist." This book was needed; there had not been an authoritative book dedicated to the wrist since 2002 when the second edition of Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery: The Wrist, Gelberman (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins) was published. (The third edition of this book was just released in May.)
Audience: It is intended for "hand surgeons in practice, fellows and residents in training" as well as "the wrist student, interested physicians . . . and other devotees of the wrist." Since the vast majority of wrist problems across the board are treated by orthopedic surgeons, I would specifically add that group to the list. The editor, Dr. William Cooney III, is indeed an authority on the wrist.
Features: With over 1,200 pages, the book literally has every bit of information that surgeons will need to take care of any hand problem. The information is up to date and the references are very helpful. The descriptions of wrist anatomy and kinematics are particularly informative. The information on anthropology and comparative anatomy is not only fascinating, but also helpful in understanding the biomechanics of the human carpus. The only shortcoming is that this book is very heavy - perhaps it should be published in two volumes.
Assessment: Often, physicians want "The Authoritative Reference" on a given topic. Usually, we cannot identify one single such source for a given entity. However, for the wrist, we have just such an authoritative reference with this impressive book. It more than replaces the previous edition in many ways, but most notably in the breadth of international contributors. There really is not another book dedicated to the wrist that can hold a candle to this one.

From that point in my post, I have re-written three times. My mind is all over the place it seems, so I'm leaving you all with a little inspiration for your Monday.
I agree... the weekend went by TOO fast! We moved so I didn't even get the chance to do anything fun or just relax with my hubs :( Next weekend?
This is the perfect inspiration to leave us with on a Monday! LOVE it!
The weekends do go by too fast! It's not fair :( Here's to a new week though...and to a large cup of coffee! Hope you had fun with M!
Someone once shared with me that the phrase "killing time" is quite literal that once those hours are past, you can not get them back and if you do nothing with your time, then it's as if you've killed it. Really makes you think twice about that phrase :)
Oh good reminder! I hope your week is off to a great start! :)
I didn't get any downtime this weekend and I was not ready to start the week- thanks for this little bit of inspiration! xo
The weekend always goes by so quickly! That's a great reminder.
I worked all weekend so I didnt really have a weekend :( sads
I agree, where the heck does the weekend go. Every Friday afternoon when I am coming home from work I always tell myself, this weekend is going to be long and amazing and then snap it is Monday morning!! Hope you had fun with your lover boy this weekend!
i was thinking the same thing this morning. how in the world is it monday?
Nice saying. And the weekend is never long enough.
Happy Monday girl! I've got some blog reading to do. I hope you have a wonderful day!
I wish sometimes that time would stand still.
The weekends always come and go much too fast. I hope you had a wonderful time with M!
This is really inspirational, thanks for sharing!
Agreed! The weekend went by way to quickly! Hope you had a great time with M!
Hope you had a calm monday and will have a good Tuesday coming up!
Love that quote - it makes a lot of sense!
My weekends only seem to disappear if I sleep in.
Actually they applies to any day I sleep more than I should be...

Although they may pose the questions differently, many employers will ask you about your long-term career goals when interviewing for a new position. Writing down your goal can help you determine what you really want and feel confident when stating your ambitions to a potential employer. In addition, you can tailor your objective to the specific job, which can give you an edge over other applicants.
Select an amount of time within which you want to reach your goals. For instance, an employer may ask where you see yourself in five or 10 years.
Picture yourself living your life at that future point. Imagine where you hope to live, the type of work you want to be doing and the environment in which you would like to be employed.
Combine your vision for your future with the specific position and the company where you hope to gain employment. For instance, if you see yourself as a marketing manager with an office overlooking the ocean, you could strive to move up the ranks from a sales rep to a management position in the West Coast office.
Consider how the job you are applying for can help you reach your long-term goal. Factor in short-term goals that will help you reach your primary objective. For instance, you may need to learn new skills or obtain a higher degree.
Write down one or two sentences describing your long-term goal using measurable terms and attainable objectives. Include brief details regarding how you will attain your goal. State how the company will benefit from your success, as well. For instance, you might write, "I aspire to advance from an HR assistant to a Human Resources manager within 10 years by obtaining a bachelor's degree and learning all of the internal employee systems, policies and procedures. I will streamline the payroll system, saving the company thousands of dollars each year."

Each year, the AMA Judicial Council conducts a survey of disciplinary actions by state boards of medical examiners and state medical societies. Proceedings by state boards determine whether licenses to practice medicine should be suspended, revoked, or whether action designed to secure compliance with the medical practice act provisions, such as censure or reprimand, should be taken. Disciplinary hearings by state medical societies ascertain whether a member physician should be suspended or expelled because of unethical conduct. Ordinarily, state boards of medical examiners conduct more disciplinary proceedings than state medical societies, because state boards have jurisdiction over all physicians in the state, while medical societies can deal only with their membership. The results of the study conducted for the calendar year 1966 appear herein. The figures reported were obtained from questionnaires mailed to state medical society executive secretaries and the secretaries of state boards of medical examiners.

Alberta looking for trust on water
EDMONTON — The Alberta government hopes community meetings this winter will bolster public confidence in how it manages water.
A leaked draft plan says the government has been holding off on making decisions on water policy because of "challenges associated with trust."
Priority issues identified in the document include use of water in hydraulic fracturing, effective water management, sustainable drinking water and healthy lakes.
One of the groups that released the draft said the community meetings are little more than a public relations exercise and avoid dealing with an idea that has been floating around the government for years — selling access to Alberta's water.
"The main thing that we are concerned about is that the government is looking at perhaps setting up a water market to sell water licences," Bill Moore-Kilgannon of Public Interest Alberta said.
"That has very serious implications. Whoever would own those licences would control the future growth of cities. It would have an impact on our economy, agriculture and, ultimately, on our environment."
The draft says the 20 community meetings will be called the "water conversation project" and will have a $1-million budget.
Alberta Environment spokeswoman Jessica Potter said the government's plan to consult with the public about water policy is well-known and has been in the works for some time.
People who attend the meetings are free to bring up any concerns they wish, she said.
"The point of the conversation is to hear what Albertans have to say so they can bring up any topics that are important to them."
Water licences are not listed as a priority in the draft report because the idea is not under consideration, Potter added.
"We have never had an intention to sell water.
"We have always maintained that Alberta's water is not for sale and we have no intention of it being for sale."
The draft says the idea of selling water to the United States is "off the table."
The meetings are to begin sometime in February. A list of which 20 communities could be involved isn't final.
Joe Anglin, environment critic for the Opposition Wildrose, said the meetings must be a true consultation and the government shouldn't use them to reach a predetermined result.
"Water is a critical issue across the province and Albertans deserve assurance that this PC government isn't going to manipulate the agenda put forward."

A TT-winning Yamaha for Christmas
Published 22/01/2013 | 15:15
CHRISTMAS 2012 will be one that Dean Pearse will never forget, as he received a present no one else will ever have!
The Skerries road race fan acquired a TT-winning 600 Yamaha that Michael Dunlop took to victory number three over the most famous of all road race venues, the TT Mountain Course. Dean was delighted, and better still the bike was delivered by the TT great himself, who spent most of the day chatting with the young fan. As well as the bike, Dean also got a tin of Mr Sheen and a cloth to make sure that he keeps the bike polished! Born and raised in Ballybay, County Monaghan, Dean really had no biking fans in the family, and he reckons that the buzz the sport gives him comes from a day when he was just three years old. 'I couldn't sleep, and my dad put on the telly and there was racing on, and he said that my head was going with the bikes, so I reckon that is where it comes from,' laughed Dean. At the young age of 10, Dean started going to the new road race at nearby Glaslough, where he really got the buzz. 'Glaslough was only 20 minutes away from my house, and it was a great race. I made many friends there and watched the great Joey Dunlop, and later a young rising star Martin Finnegan' [who scored his first national road race win there], said Dean. Mam Mary added: 'As a young lad he was always out and about riding a Honda 50 like a mad man. He really loved the craic messing about on bikes, but at the age of 16 he had his last proper spin on a bike while he was still in school. He suffered a brain haemorrhage that year, and that put paid to his fun on the bikes.' During his long recovery, Dean's love for bikes never faltered, and on his 18th birthday all the bike clubs in the Cavan/Monaghan area got together in Ballybay. Brian Monaghan was the man that made his day possible and even the Gardai closed off the roads in the town for about 40 minutes to allow the 80 or so bikes help Dean celebrate his big day. 'Brian arranged for a quad to be there for Dean, and they took him out on it,' recalled Mary. 'The Gardai even closed the roads, which was great, and the lads performed doughnuts on the road, and when the cake was delivered to Dean on the quad the Garda opened the roads. It was a great day.' Another disaster was not far away for Dean, and shortly after his 18th he had a terrible accident that left him with serious spinal injuries, and he spent six and a half months in the loving care of the great staff of the Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire. These injuries consigned Dean to a wheelchair, and he never got to see a race for two years. During his time in re-hab Dean was visited by his hero Martin Finnegan, who was taken there by Joe Wright. On his way from the hospital Martin said to Joe: 'My God, I would never like to end up in a wheelchair. Dean is very strong, and I will do something for him.' Shortly after the visit Dean was delighted to receive a team shirt from the Lusk rider, and it's a treasure that he will never let go. Rehab was very hard for Dean, and like so many in his position, he was open to various infections, which leaves him vulnerable, and he has to spend time in hospital. This leaves his racing time short some seasons. ' During his stay in Dun Laoghaire I spent every day there and it was very hard. I had to see exactly what had to be done when Dean came home, as I would have to do everything for him,' said Mary. Despite missing the racing, Dean was kept up to date with the entire goings-on. 'I would get texts from my friend Matt Murphy from Swords. I made friends with Matt on facebook and he would keep me going as the race day went on with results and everything that happened during the day; it was a great help. He also calls to see me every Monday, and I have to have a cake for him, that's the deal,' said Dean. 'I found social media a vital modern tool for me, and with facebook I could see the photos from the day's racing very soon afterwards, which is great.' Back in Ballybay, Dean had a suggestion from a friend to have a painting done of Joey. His friend arrived to do the painting, and much to the amazement of Mary and Dean, he spent 18 hours there. When he came out of the room he had produced a full ceiling-to-floor mural of the legendary Joey Dunlop on the Vimto Honda. In 2008 Dean decided he wanted another painting, and this time it was one of Martin, and like the Joey one this was one of Martin at the TT which went from floor to ceiling. Martin was delighted when he was told of this, and promised to come up to the house and personally autograph it. Tragically that never happened, as Martin was to lose his life a few weeks later at the Tandragee 100. 'I and the family were shocked at Martin's death, and it really hit us very hard. Martin was very good to us, and yet deep down I knew that he left us doing something that he loved,' said Dean Dean's friendship with road race stars is very obvious, and when you look at his wall it is like the who's who of Irish racing. There are photos of Dean with Martin, Linda Dunlop (wife of the late Joey) and another of Dean with Robert Dunlop, and a very young William and Michael. 'Through a friend of mine, Ciaran Brennan, Robert enquired at the Tandragee 100, how is that young fellow in Monaghan, and tragically he was to lose his life two weeks later at the North West 200 practice,' said Dean. A few years ago Dean moved to Skerries, as his Balbrigganborn mam wanted to be close to home. This suited Dean to the ground, as he could be near to more racing courses. 'It is great, and at the Skerries and Killalane the club have a truck with a tail lift that is used for wheelchair fans, and this makes the day's racing more enjoyable,' said Dean. 'Living the Dream' is a quote that is used a lot in sport, and the riders who take to the TT Mountain course use it more than most. The TT is special, and like no other course in the world. Martin Finnegan loved the TT and I have no doubt that if he was still with us he would have won a few TTs by now. It was also a dream that lingered in Dean's head, and while he would never be in a position to race there, his next best option was to own a TT-winning bike. After a lot of work by his mother Mary, that dream did come true, when Michael Dunlop delivered the TT-winning bike to Dean's Skerries home, and it sits proudly at the end of his bed. 'I wake up some mornings and the smell of the petrol fumes are great and it really is the start to the day that anyone could ask for,' said Dean. Despite his brilliant present, Dean hopes to use the TT-winning bike as a fund-raising tool at the Skerries Road Race this year. 'I am hoping to get a fund-raising idea going with the Loughshinny Club, as Michael has agreed to ride the bike at Skerries, and I hope to collect money for the Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire as they were so good to me and I would like to return the favour, so hopefully we can get this off the ground,' said Dean. There is no doubt that Dean has the present of a lifetime, but yet he is a true race fan, and his love for the sport hasn't faltered, despite the challenges that his injuries bring to him. Dean eats and sleeps road racing, and while he doesn't get to many races he still knows everything that goes on in the sport. The TT is next on his agenda, but yet he still has the passion to raise money for the hospital that looked after him when he was at his lowest, and he really hopes that the fans at Skerries will show their support for his quest.

How can I lay my own fears, desires and ego at the feet of Christ so that I can completely embrace what God wants to do in and through my life?
Bacon vs. cheese
I know that I risk, with this post, the destruction of all that is good about the internet. I accept that but feel I need to set something straight.
I love bacon. I know this is no surprise to, well, anyone. I have somehow become the "bacon guy." I have people emailing me pictures of things they cook that have bacon in them. Every time it makes me laugh at the insanity that is the internet. And I'm honored to be the bacon guy. Really, I am. But I don't just want to be a pretender to the bacon guy throne. So I feel I have to be honest.
I actually like cheese better than bacon.
Ok. If you can read this part, I guess the world has not imploded. Which also means I'm less important in the grand scheme of things than I had hoped, but I'll address that later. So yeah, there it is. I love cheese. Not just any cheese, mind you. I like most, but I really love a good gouda. This doesn't in any way diminish my love of bacon. It's just that when faced with that age-old "if you could only have one thing on a desert island" question, I'd have to go cheese. Of course, types of cheese and crispiness of bacon have to be taken into account, but still, it's probably going to be cheese.
Sorry if this wrecks your Friday. Feel free to now think of me as both your bacon and cheese guy. Hope that helps.
The creative mindset
Check out this comparison of the promotional websites for Apple, Dell, and HP.
It proves that if you have the creative mindset, it extends to every aspect of your business. My favorite part was not just comparing the aesthetics of the sites, but also the urls. Tell me Apple doesn't think these things through better than the rest of the industry. I think it's part of the reason behind their astounding growth. They think through even the little things.
Long, long day
It started at six this morning.
I took a few pictures I was proud of and had lunch with Chris after he assisted on the shoot.
Got a phone call and decided I might not enjoy the wedding business as much as I thought.
Tried to finish the day without yelling at my kids. Failed.
Sat down to write on the blog and realized I was too tired to really put coherent words down in an interesting way.
Just a long, long day.
No perfect people allowed
I see more and more churches with the slogan "no perfect people allowed." But I have to ask, if that is the slogan, why do we still show up to church and pretend to be perfect?
The Plan
Seeing that today has no major deadlines, I decided to come up with a plan to have a great and productive day.
The Plan
7:00AM – Wake up
7:30AM – Go walking with Audrey
8:30AM – Eat breakfast and take a shower
9:00AM – Begin a very productive work day
7:00AM – Alarm goes off
7:01AM – Turn alarm off
7:30AM – Zzzzzzzzzz
8:30AM – Zzzzzzzzzz
9:30AM – "Crap, I slept in."
10:00AM – Begin a somewhat less productive work day
What it's all about
Two weekends ago we spent a few days with my parents at the lake. For my two younger ones it was really the first time they have been able to go fishing.
They were more patient and excited about fishing than by brother and I ever were. We fished for about five hours and it wasn't until the very end that Cody began to get tired and impatient. They won't stop asking me when we are going back.
Out of that five hours, I probably spent about two of it fishing myself. The rest was pulling fish off hooks, putting worms on hooks, tying on new hooks and generally doing everything except fishing. I have a new respect for my dad and what he had to go through when we were kids on the lake.
I'm not sure what the best part of the weekend was. It might have been watching my children beam with pride and joy as they pulled those perch out of the water. But it just might have been working along side my dad to enable all that joy to take place.
And yes, that tiny little fish in Cody's picture was one he caught, not the bait. Watching him reel that in was so much fun.
Quote of the Day
God plans that there be a long history of redemption and a long battle in every individual's life, because in that battle certain elements of his glory, patience, wisdom, love, kindness, wrath, and justice are displayed in ways they would not be displayed if he redeemed things instantaneously. — John Piper
I've been asked before, "If God is really sovereign over all and controls everything, why put us through all this? Why not just stop sin from ever happening and let us all be happy in Heaven?" I think the quote above is a good answer for that.
Beyond circumstances
"Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." — Hebrews 13:20-21
Verse 21 above is a great look at what God equips us to do in the Christian life. The one thing that really jumped out at me was what wasn't in there. It said absolutely nothing about our circumstances. We are equipped to do God's will no matter our circumstances. Rich, poor, healthy, sick, stressed, calm, worried, happy. None of that figures into the equation. It's entirely about doing His will for His glory. And in that we will find the joy and peace we seek but don't find anywhere else.
Irony is…
Irony is feeling inspired all week to write about giving Biblically then receiving my six-month giving statement only to find out I've given a fraction this year of what I gave last year. Knowing how things should work and living them out are two very different things.
Also I think it proves God has a great sense of humor. "Hey Chad, write about giving for a week, oh and, by the way, look at this!"
Outlets for giving
I promised yesterday was my last post on giving for the week, but I was wrong. Through this week, I've been looking at the places I have given or want to give. As I assembled this list, I realized all of my giving is in some way related to the church. And there are thousands of great organizations out there doing amazing work for God by giving directly to impoverished nations. I'm thinking of organizations who's entire goal is to go to Africa and dig clean water wells.
But none of those appear on my list. I think we are all called differently and my heart just beats for the church. Ideally, churches will partner with these organizations to do some amazing good around the world. And so far in my life I've given to church-based organizations who do amazing work that I feel the need to support. Everyone's list looks very different. These are mine.
Legacy Fellowship
As my home church, I feel called to give. This is where we live, work and serve. This is our community. Most of our giving ends up here.
Desiring God
Desiring God provides a mind-boggling amount of resources for people and churches. I listen to and watch unreal amounts of their content every month. I'm happy to give so they can continue to spread God's word.
The Village Church
If we lived in or near the DFW area, this would be our church. God has used The Village's pastor, Matt Chandler, to impact my walk with God more than anyone else in my life ever has. And he's done every bit of that through just listening to their online sermons every week. This is just a personal calling I feel to give to this church and God's work there.
Acts 29 Network
The Acts 29 Network is a church-planting organization that is hard at work raising up a huge number of new church plants. They are striving to reach folks who have never been reached by existing churches and I think that's a work worthy of supporting.
How I typically mess up giving
So all this talk of giving this week leads me to one final point. How do I typically mess up the idea of giving? I know I do it and I think, if we're honest, a lot of other people do too.
I focus on the giving and what I'm doing with it and whether I can afford it or not. But, like many, I have taken what the Bible says about giving and made it entirely about checking an item off a list. I've fallen into a works-based system that has nothing to do with what Jesus is trying to accomplish through the gospel.
The truth is he's after my heart, not my money. Instead of seeing that, I check off my giving 10% and then assume I can do whatever I want with the other 90%. Living life for him means everything. Instead of seeking the heart and glory of God, I try to make sure the checklist is complete so I can do what I want. In that line of thinking, I'm missing the point and stealing glory from God, which, in my experience, is not the best thing to do.
Why give to the church?
I asked a question on Twitter about what motivates everyone's giving to the church and how do they do it? A friend replied, "Why do we tithe to the 'church?' It mostly goes to the building. Why not give your money to people that really need it?"
Honestly that's a great question. I think there is something the church can learn from this and something we, as givers, can learn.
First, the church. Pastors, when people look at your church do they see God moving? Do they see God creating people that are focused on loving him for his mercy and grace? People that do that will help change the world around them. So if people look and don't find this to be the case, why would they give? It's a hard question to answer if we are honest. We should search God's face and beg him to be merciful to us that people would see his mighty work in our church. Money drives a lot in this world, but there is no reason we cannot be raising up theologically rich lovers of God even with very few funds.
Now to the giver. I've been on the ministry side of things for the better part of 15 years. If mighty things aren't happening in the church, it could be the leadership. Or, just as easily, it could be the people. No ministry hopes that God won't do mighty things. In fact, most ministries struggle monetarily because their people refuse to let God lead their lives in every way. If you don't feel your church is worthy to receive part of what God has given to you, why is that? Is there anything you can do to help fix that. As a part of a church, it is just as much the member's job to work and fix things as it is the leadership's. I believe in helping the poor on an individual basis, apart from the church. The problem is if we never give to the church, it's very easy to become a congregation of consumers. If we don't give either time or money to the church, it's very easy to just walk in to the church every week and say "ok, what do you have for me now?" That attitude is what is wrong with most of the Evangelical world right now in my opinion. If every dime of the offering is going to the building, is it because the church is in a building they can't really afford or because the people aren't giving to enable the church to do things outside of just pay rent? Where is your place in God's plan for your church? Is it to just come and consume week after week without giving anything?
Ideally a Christian will give to the church and God will use that to multiply the church, to save people and to spread his word. The church is referred to as the "Bride of Christ" in the scriptures. There is love for the church on God's part and it is his appointed tool to help spread the Gospel on Earth. Apart from that, the Christian will also be obedient and helping everyone God tells them to. The relationship between a Christian and the church should be a partnership. We should work together as God calls us to reach the world. If it truly is all God's money anyway, we should freely give anywhere God calls us. In my own giving I've just never hit a place where I felt like God wanted me to avoid giving to a church. I try to do both, give to churches and individuals, as best I can.
Having, giving and chasing
I enjoy giving and doing for others. That never seems to burn in me deeper than when I don't really have anything to give. When money is tight and giving isn't possible I want to give. Well, let's be honest here, the giving is possible but it requires more faith than I seem to be able to walk in.
But then when a blessing comes and we have extra money, rarely does my mind turn to giving. When we are blessed, my mind turns to two things which prevent me from giving.
The first is fear. I don't know the future, so I focus on the fact that I don't have a enough money to live out my life comfortably and I never know when the next blessing will come along. I'm not saying give everything away blindly. It is still smart to save and put away for the future. But, on the other side of that coin, if God calls you to give to something or someone, do it. Be obedient. We need to do everything with an eye towards what God wants, both in our saving and our giving.
The second thing my mind turns to that prevents me from giving is things I want. This is absolute lunacy considering all the things I've acquired up to this point have provided me with no peace and no lasting joy. What makes me think that the next man-made product to be produced will provide those things for me? It's the definition of insanity.
In the end, what I give to others is entirely about my relationship with God. It is about his chasing after me and my chasing after him. And I hope in the future I can listen more closely to him instead of focusing on things I fear and things I want.
So I'm 30 now. As of Monday, I guess it's official. Honestly it feels a lot like 29.
Leading up to 30, I've had a lot of anxiety. It's not because I, in any way, fear being older. In fact I relish the idea. My anxiety stemmed from my fear that by not accomplishing any of my big goals by 30, I'm walking in a lot of failure. My focus on those failures, some of which are real and some of which are probably just in my head, was really just a point of self reflection. Where am I at? Where am I going? I think it's good to examine those things and birthdays just happen to be a good place to do it.
So now I'm 30 and my triumphs and failures look exactly like they did last year. I still wake up and try to do the best I can. I still screw up a lot. Through the grace of God, I sometimes get it right.

Swiss Franc Continues The Strengthen Against US Dollar 0 commentsFeb 4, 2013 2:02 AM
USDCHF continued its fall during the last week. and went as low as 0.9022 before closing for the week at 0.9081.
Recent economic data.
The U.S. nonfarm payroll fell unexpectedly to 157K from the last month's 196K. The consensus was for a drop to 160K. Reuters/Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index showed a positive picture with a reading of 73.8 against the previous release of 72.9 and consensus of 71.5 but on the other hand the preliminary data for gross domestic product for Q4 (annualized) showed a decline of -0.1% which was quite poor as compared to the previous release and also the market consensus.
The recent releases of last week from Switzerland have been rather good and are as follows:
1. UBS Consumption Indicator: 1.34 against the previous 1.23.
2. KOF Leading Indicator: 1.05, negative as compared to the forecasts (1.16) as well as the previous 1.29.
3. SVME - Purchasing Managers' Index: 52.5, positive as compared to the forecasts (50.5) as well as the previous 49.2.
USD/CHF Outlook:
As we had mentioned during last weekend that the resistance faced below the key resistance of 200-day moving average and then the break below the 55-day EMA had suggested that the reversal of the recent upward move was on the way and bearish sentiments have once again caught up.
The break below 0.9076 which was the low of the sideways move during December 16th to January 1st have made those bearish sentiments even stronger. The only possible factor in favor of USDCHF is a possible support of 0.9000 psychological level.
On the downside any break below the recent 0.9022 should find support near 0.9002 of April 2nd, 2012. In case this support is broken then below 0.9000 we will expect further downward move towards 0.8931 which was the support level of February 24, 2012. If the support of 0.8931 fails then USDCHF may enter a longer-term bearish phase.
On the upside any break above 0.9120 will be the first sign that the psychological support of 0.9000 is in the picture and further recovery can be expected but a better indication of the same will come with any break above 0.9181 which was the high of the sideways move during December 16th to January 1st. Even if such a move takes place and strong resistance will be expected near 0.9303 of January 4th. In any case we would expect any upward gains to be limited to 0.9389 and to expect an extended sideways move between this level and 0.9000 psychological level.
Please note that the above USD/CHF forecast is the view of the author and is not presented as an investment advice.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Back To Forex Abode's Instablog HomePage »

The New Motorola NDRD Mobile Phone
Screen upgrades , Rumours abound of the NDRD'sjPhone-like touchscreen - that means bigger (at 3.Sin) and better than the G 1 's. We think that Motorola will reinstate Android's multi-touch capabilities, allowing intuitive zooming and spinning of on-screen artefacts.
All-round genius , As well as being a sub-1 Ornln thick object of lust, the NDRD is a multimedia genius with 16GB of internal storage, 3.Smm headphone jack and VGA video-recording, SMP camera. It also has applicQ,tions for instant, finger-friendly access to'Facebook and Myspace, which is better than the G 1.
Finger feelers , The G1 's near-flawless ergonomic are given a next-gen overhaul by the NDRD. The trackball has been replaced by an optical mouse with inertial scrolling, and the new, flat keyboard offers haptic feedback through your fingertips. This isn't just a buzz - it's a discernible click at the point of contact.
