I just wrote up an article and posted it on Hub. It's about saving time as you conduct your professional and personal business on the internet. It has a lot of valuable tips you may find useful particularly about scheduling blocks of day in your planner for internet time and making lists that prioritize when and where you will go in the world online today.
It's too packed with information to post it here so I shall submit a link:

TD Annual Reading Summit
Not sure about the registration for the TD Bank National Reading Summit for January 2011. The reason is that some of their dates seem to be outdated on their site
http://www.nationalreadingsummit.ca/ so it may or may not be possible to register for it but it looks cool so its worth contacting them. The summit seeks to provide information to Canadians involved in literacy acquisition and education about encouraging and building literacy and reading communities nationwide. They seem to be requesting volunteers but again I don't know if the deadline date has come and gone for 2011 - it appears to be old news for 2010 but don't quote me on that one.
If you're interested in encouraging literacy development in many areas of our fine nation you might want to join a goup through the summit, volunteer, attend the conference, etc. They have a mailing list too to keep everyone up to date, probably very helpful to people working in preschools, schools, group homes etc to form their own local literacy groups and enhance their strategies with advice from speakers and professionals worldwide.

Saskatchewan provincial funding for public vs Catholic schools
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/100306/canada/canada_saskatchewan_sk_catholic_school_funding_public
Money, money, money. Everything comes down to that - even (or especially) "every child's legal right to education". Ontario's Education Act states it is illegal for any child between 6 and 16 not to be enrolled in the provincial education system (although home schooling whereby the provincial curriculum and resources are provided to the family is legal, and children from these homes must take part in the same provincial testing). Presumably Saskatchewan functions in the same manner. It is illegal for children to the age of 16 not to attend school in any Canadian province.
This article details the discrepancy in funding per pupil between public and Catholic schools in Regina, Saskatchewan. $275 is the difference in funding with the Catholic system being in the red. Of course provincial officials from Sask's Ministry of Education simply refused to acknowledge the discrepancy and insisted changes won't be made in Catholic funding. $275 might not sound like a lot but times it by the thousands of children in Regina who attend Catholic schools and it adds up quite significantly.
Apparently Saskatchewan' Ministry of Education may uphold a "child's legal right to education" it just doesn't guarantee an equal and non-discriminatory educational funding allottment for said child.
