LEOGANE, Haiti -- Two separate funeral bands file past one another in concurrent ceremonies for the different set of mourners, whose wails pierce through white tents crammed with family and friends for the final viewing of the departed lying in open caskets.
The scene depicts yet another day of tragedy in this quake-ravaged town, just south of the capital, where no building seems to have been spared in the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck on Jan. 12.
The tents where the wake and funeral Mass were held were at the site of the St. Rose de Lima Catholic Church. The building is now a collapsed sanctuary of memories.
"Everything's not right. Everything is not right," said Beliotte Sterle, 52, who was paying respects to his deceased aunt. He has been to at least six funerals since Jan. 12.
"There are so many, that sometimes I just don't go," he said. "People just can't take it."
Sterle's aunt, Conserve Jéoboham 82, died Feb. 17 of a heart attack, following one of many continuing aftershocks. Lying in the second tent was Mardi Révélia, 84.
Cause of her death: unclear.
The funerals of these strangers were the third I witnessed as a reporter on this particular day. A fourth funeral -- on the previ- ous day -- was for one of my own family members.
My cousin, Hérard Aneas, died Feb. 25. He, too, collapsed within four hours of an after-shock, said his only daughter Heraldine, a nurse.
Heraldine said Hérard's heart finally gave out as she unsuccessfully attempted to give him CPR in the back seat of the car as she and her brothers raced with him to a hospital after midnight.
Two months after Haiti's greatest disaster, funerals have become the new norm in a post-quake Haiti, where only weeks ago the dead were piled up on the side of roads and then tossed into mass graves.
Multiple funerals, two and three at a time, are taking place here daily. They are happening within what's left of centuries-old churches, in courtyards strewn with piles of rubble, and underneath tarps pitched like cathedrals around wooden frames.
"Before the quake, death was a family event." said Dr. Alix Lassegue, who runs the general hospital in Port-au-Prince, which houses the capital's only public morgue. "Now, everybody knows."
Statistically the number of deaths is not any higher today than it was before the quake, Lassegue said. But the perception of increased deaths is real and Jan. 12 has become the explanation for everything. Because death is so prevalent here, no one ever dies of natural causes in the minds of Haitians.
In order to cope with so many deaths, people need to assign blame.
That was true for my family as well.
I first learned of Hérard's death in an e-mail that jolted me out of bed in disbelief.
Until that moment, I had been a member of an elite club -- those with family in the capital who managed to escape death in the Jan. 12 quake.
Then came the phone call confirming my new status as a member of a majority: people here who have lost at least one person they love.
Hérard was my mother's oldest nephew, the one who stands out in my childhood memories of life in Haiti, and the one who just two months ago allowed me to finally breathe a sigh of relief when I asked, "Eske tout moun vivan?"
"Yes, we are all alive," he said over the telephone from Carrefour, near the quake's epicenter.

How Long Will I Spend In An Inpatient Opiate Drug Treatment Program?
Prescription Medication Addiction Starts At Home
Drug Rehabs Use Massage Therapy to Heal Drug Detox Center Patients
It has been said many times that being a parent is the hardest job in the world. That job becomes all the more difficult when you watch your son struggle with an addiction to drugs. The feelings of helplessness overwhelm you, and you come to a point where you just cannot take it anymore. That is when intervention happens and you send your son to a drug rehab center against his will. You are not surprised that he is furious with you, even threatening to never speak to you again, but as you fight back tears, you understand that this is the only way you will get your son back.
Addiction is a devastating disease, and one that affects not just the addict, but everyone who loves and cares for them. For a parent to watch their son self-destruct because of their drug addiction, life becomes unbearable. Treatment centers are willing to help mothers and fathers deal with the scorn and the anger thrown at them by their children who are sent to a drug rehab center kicking and screaming.
It can be hard for a parent to make this move, but treatment centers have been down this road before with countless other parents who grapple with the decision. While the anger is fresh, parents should understand that it will subside, at some point, when their son recognizes that it is for their own good. No parent wants to stand idly by while their son self-destructs, or bury their child because of a drug overdose. Parents and children need to realize the urgency of the situation and move forward to embrace recovery and learn to enjoy life once again.

Loading... Sadan vuoden yksinäisyys (original 1967; edition 1995)by Gabriel García Márquez, Matti Rossi
Work detailsOne Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez (1967)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. This book by Columbian author, Gabriel Garcia Marguez is my first magical realism read. It is a story of the Buendia's family and the founding of Macondo. The names keep repeating and the story is filled with strange, fantastic and incredible scenes. It is an unofficial alternative history for Columbia. This story is so magical that it hard to put anything into words to describe it. It is a book of Latin America caught between modernity and preinustrilization, civil war and imagination. It incorporates other realities both mythological and Biblical. A key theme is solitude, a humanistic concept, we always end up living our lives in solitude, no one else can live our life. It also speaks of the inseparability of past, present and future. The past becomes one with the future. Another motif is memory, "weight of too many memories". Histoire de la famille Buendia sur 100 ans. Un récit très bien mené mais une fin un peu surprenante. On retrouve les histoires de familles compliquées avec plusieurs générations qui semblent être la signature des auteurs sud américains (cf. La maison aux esprits), racontées avec humour. Quelques éléments paranormaux se glissent aussi tout au long du récit. Cien años de soledad es una novela del escritor colombiano y Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1982, Gabriel García Márquez. Considerada una obra maestra de la literatura hispanoamericana y universal, es una de las obras más traducidas y leídas en español.1 Fue catalogada como una de las obras más importantes de la lengua castellana durante el IV Congreso Internacional de la Lengua Española celebrado en Cartagena de Indias en marzo de 2007.2 Fue incluida en la lista de las 100 mejores novelas en español del siglo XX del periódico español El Mundo,3 en la lista de los 100 libros del siglo XX del diario francés Le Monde y en los 100 mejores libros de todos los tiempos del Club de libros de Noruega La vida de los primeros pobladores del imaginario pueblo de Makondo. García Márquez desarrolla magistralmente las relaciones entre una familia que sufre, la guerra, la división, el amor, el odio. I know the inflexibility of the 5 star rating system has often been the subject of discussion here on goodreads. This had led many of us to state in the body of a review the actual star value. Usually I round a half star above the official star rating but in this case I am rounding down to a 3.5 because what I really mean is 3.75. Moving on... For some reason I've been asked to order things in order of preference (or favor) a lot in the last few weeks. For some reason I have only been able to do so in reverse. If I were asked to do this with characters from this novel I'd select Fernanda as my least favorite. She made everything bad with her stupid smug religiousness. If I could travel to Macondo to assault this woman I would. Outside of my dislike reaction to Fernanda I was really emotionally affected by any of the characters. Family members came and went, some lived forever, others only briefly but somehow I never connected with any of them. But maybe that's the point of a book about time that is so strongly rooted in place. Of course, the writing is beautiful. For me the supernatural (or magical or whatever) portions of the book brought on a sense of childlike wonder and that I something I appreciated. Here's an example: That night the guard brought down Mauricio Babiliano as he was lifting up the tiles to get into the bathroom where Meme was waiting for him, naked and trembling with love among the scorpions and butterflies as she had done almost every night for the past few months. If I had cared more about the characters and what was going to happen to the family this would have been a perfect book for me.
... I'm not doing it because I want to create an escapist novel. I'm doing it because I want to describe life more accurately. Fantasy stories convey truth without needing to be grounded in the reality of this world. They have holistic, logical systems and realities that affect every aspect of their separate universes. They can describe things that never were and never will be on the earth, without direct attachments to the readers' everyday existence, while human and universal truths come through. On the other hand, magical realism by definition remains tethered to the "real" workings of this universe. I believe sometimes just a touch of the magical can make a story more applicable to a reader's everyday existence than it would be otherwise. One classic example is in my favorite novel of all time, One Hundred Years of Solitude, where Gabriel Garcia Marquez describes a village stricken by "the insomnia plague." This mass sleeplessness eventually affects the peoples' memories. One man realizes he will soon no longer be able to function without help. He puts signs on everything to remind him what they are. Others do it too, and soon the signs are everywhere. After a while the people realize knowing what to call a thing does not mean one knows what to do with it. They begin to add instructions to the signs. A cow is for milking, and milk is for putting into coffee, and etcetera. At one end of their town, they even erect a sign which says, GOD EXISTS. Finally into this "quicksand of forgetfulness" comes a gypsy with "a drink of a gentle color." When that cure takes hold, one healed man's "eyes became moist from weeping even before he noticed himself in an absurd living room where objects were labeled and before he was ashamed of the solemn nonsense written on the walls . . ." None of this is technically impossible of course, therefore it is not "fantasy" in the literary sense. It is only highly, extremely, vastly improbable; so completely unlikely to happen that we must at least call it "magical." Yet Garcia Marquez wrings so much common sense from it, one cannot help but wonder if this "insomnia plague" might be something he has actually witnessed in the world—something not merely magical, but somehow also real. Perhaps Garcia Marquez (the world's best known author of "magical realism") has simply written about life as it really is for the millions who are driven to mass insanity by labor on the treadmill of materialism, exhausted to the point of forgetting why they started running in the first place, yet goaded to keep at it by the omnipresent advertisements which remind them they need this thing and that thing in order to continue to forget who they really are. I write magical realism because some fires do burn in the midst of floods (think of hope when all seems lost), and all cures are essentially mysterious (I can't explain aspirin), and angels do occasionally intervene (according to the beggars in Mother Theresa's Calcutta), and there are moments in the midst of work when artists sometimes fly (just ask one if you don't believe). In other words, I write magical realism because most of us need to get a little distance from our lives to see them as they really are. [García Márquez] creates a continuum, a web of connections and relationships. However bizarre or grotesque some particulars may be, the larger effect is one of great gusto and good humor and, even more, of sanity and compassion. The author seems to be letting his people half-dream and half-remember their own story and what is best, he is wise enough not to offer excuses for the way they do it. No excuse is really necessary. For Macondo is no never-never land. Its inhabitants do suffer, grow old and die, but in their own way.
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060883286, Paperback)"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."It is typical of Gabriel García Márquez that it will be many pages before his narrative circles back to the ice, and many chapters before the hero of One Hundred Years of Solitude, Buendía, stands before the firing squad. In between, he recounts such wonders as an entire town struck with insomnia, a woman who ascends to heaven while hanging laundry, and a suicide that defies the laws of physics: A trickle of blood came out under the door, crossed the living room, went out into the street, continued on in a straight line across the uneven terraces, went down steps and climbed over curbs, passed along the Street of the Turks, turned a corner to the right and another to the left, made a right angle at the Buendía house, went in under the closed door, crossed through the parlor, hugging the walls so as not to stain the rugs, went on to the other living room, made a wide curve to avoid the dining-room table, went along the porch with the begonias, and passed without being seen under Amaranta's chair as she gave an arithmetic lesson to Aureliano José, and went through the pantry and came out in the kitchen, where Úrsula was getting ready to crack thirty-six eggs to make bread. The story follows 100 years in the life of Macondo, a village founded by José Arcadio Buendía and occupied by descendants all sporting variations on their progenitor's name: his sons, José Arcadio and Aureliano, and grandsons, Aureliano José, Aureliano Segundo, and José Arcadio Segundo. Then there are the women--the two Úrsulas, a handful of Remedios, Fernanda, and Pilar--who struggle to remain grounded even as their menfolk build castles in the air. If it is possible for a novel to be highly comic and deeply tragic at the same time, then One Hundred Years of Solitude does the trick. Civil war rages throughout, hearts break, dreams shatter, and lives are lost, yet the effect is literary pentimento, with sorrow's outlines bleeding through the vibrant colors of García Márquez's magical realism. Consider, for example, the ghost of Prudencio Aguilar, whom José Arcadio Buendía has killed in a fight. So lonely is the man's shade that it haunts Buendía's house, searching anxiously for water with which to clean its wound. Buendía's wife, Úrsula, is so moved that "the next time she saw the dead man uncovering the pots on the stove she understood what he was looking for, and from then on she placed water jugs all about the house." With One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel García Márquez introduced Latin American literature to a world-wide readership. Translated into more than two dozen languages, his brilliant novel of love and loss in Macondo stands at the apex of 20th-century literature. --Alix Wilber (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:55:14 -0400) Tells the story of the Buendia family, set against the background of the evolution and eventual decadence of a small South American town.

"Notch is the games industry's Justin Bieber right now. Let me walk you through this. Justin Bieber has exploded, and Justin Bieber, as much as many want to hate him, is a very talented guy. If you did a Venn diagram of Minecraft fans and Bieber fans, I've no idea what that would look like, but each one via the internet has been born into a seemingly over night success, even though it likely took a huge effort over a very long time. Being like that can help put you in the spotlight. Notch and Minecraft deserve every success they have." – Cliff Bleszinski on Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson to Develop.

Back home!!!! The ride from Freeport was great due the the company of Scott and Eric. The official distance was 1021 miles.
We got to Auburn HS about 11:00 am and were joined by about 10 bikers (see pic) and we made our way to Burpee. Thanks to Patrick for taking all the pics. We arrived about 11:20 and went down to the terrace for food, cake and fun. It was a great time and it was a thrill to see so many friends to welcome me, Bob and Homer's bones back to Rockford. It was a great experience and I would like to do it again next year. We'll see. Thanks to all involved, well wishers, staff, media Bob and Nancy.

As I stepped into the shower this morning and turned on the water, a sudden feeling of warmth flooded over me.
It wasn't the water. Not exactly.
It was that the water was there.
I had one of those sudden realizations of something that should have been obvious. It occurred to me how privileged I was to have some of the things that I take for granted. Like water, for instance.
Few people here need seriously worry about preserving every last drop. Nobody I know has to walk several miles to fetch a couple of buckets of water that will sustain them for perhaps a week. Not a single woman I know - it's not a man's job - has to trudge the miles back home carrying a few gallons of water (each gallon weighs 10 pounds, not counting the container) to be able to provide their family with a few drops. of questionable quality, to boot.
Fresh, clean water literally falls from the sky for those of us lucky enough - despite our gall to constantly complain about it - to live in our verdant heaven. Most of the year, anyway.
Actually, water does become a semi-precious commodity in our household most summers lately, as water tables have dropped and our well has been hard-pressed to meet our greedy needs.
It's that that got me thinking about my privileged status. I knew that, with all the rain of the past few weeks, my well was certainly back in the safe zone, and I could leave the tap running just as long as I darned well pleased.
Even in the hottest summer - with my water situation at its most desperate - the worst that happened was the pump bottomed out. It sucked air, stopped delivering water. It burned out, and had to be replaced. I was out of water for a day, and out of pocket a few hundred bucks for a new pump. Annoying. But not critical.
Not deadly. Not like in some parts of the world, where a dry well or a burned-out pump (if they have the luxury of owning one) could put the lives of an entire village in jeopardy. It got me thinking past water.
I'm not rich - and yet, I'm among the fabled One Per Cent. and probably, so are you. On a global scale, average Canadian wage earners are among the world's richest one per cent.
Donna and I realized years ago that most of our friends and family are global One-Percenters. Of course, we weren't called that before the Occupy Movement.
We were just "better off" than most people in the world. and better off than some of our neighbours.
Instead of buying socks and ties and shiny baubles for those close to us, we began buying goats and chickens and access to water. for people in parts of the world where such things are synonymous with dignity and life and hope.
Organizations like World Vision and Ten Thousand Villages and others have catalogues full of such wonderful gifts.
There is a need close to home, too. Consider helping out the Christmas Hamper Society on behalf of one of your friends, or help the Friends In Need Food Bank. There's Christmas Haven's Christmas Eve dinners. And a few bucks are always welcome in the Salvation Army Christmas Kettles - you don't need to give much, if you don't have it.
For out-of-town friends, give to a Christmas hamper bureau or food bank near them.
Let your friends know you gave their gift to someone who needed it more. needed it badly.
I'll admit we started on this track with a bit of trepidation about how people would react. But our gifts of gifts to those who needed them more were relished. It turns out practically everyone likes doing something nice for someone else.
And here's a simple one that'll cost you nothing: visit www.youtube.com/envisionfinancial, watch the video. and Envision will add a buck to the Angel Tree program.
The program is described in the video - it's not an advertisement, just another way to help.

What does Jesus mean when he says, "Follow me"?
Twenty years ago, pastor-teacher and bestselling author John MacArthur tackled that seemingly simple question---and wrote a book that has since taken its place among Christianity's classics. This 20th Anniversary edition of MacArthur's provocative book has been revised and contains one new chapter.
ePub, Reflowable$6.99
Download - Audio, Unabridged$19.99
The first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide acclaim in confronting the "easy-believism" that has characterized some aspects of evangelical Christianity. Over the past 50 years, a handful of books have become true classics, revered world-wide for their crystal-clear presentation of the Gospel and lauded for their contribution to the Christian faith. These extraordinary books are read, re-read, and discussed in churches, Bible study groups, and homes everywhere. John MacArthur's The Gospel According to Jesus is one of those books. In The Gospel According to Jesus, MacArthur tackles the idea of "easy believism," challenging Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obediently walking with Jesus as Lord. This 20th anniversary edition of MacArthur's provocative, Scripture-based book contains one new chapter
and is further revised to provide Christians in the 21st century a fresh perspective on the intrinsic relationship between faith and works, clearly revealing Why Jesus is both Savior and Lord to all who believe.

Practica and Internships are clinical experiences that meet specific guidelines established by CACREP. Practica are intended to help students develop their counseling skills under supervision and internship is meant to give students to the opportunity to experience the professional role of counselors in an agency or school setting under supervision.
Students must earn a "B" or better in all practicum courses in order to be eligible for internship.
The student must obtain liability insurance prior to participating in any practicum course; proof is required when applying for candidacy. This insurance must be maintained throughout practicum and internship. Students in clinical courses are required to purchase liability insurance. Liability insurance is available through ACA and other insurance companies. ACA includes liability insurance with membership. Proof of insurance must be shown to the instructor or professor before participating in any clinical work with external clients. Failure to obtain insurance may result in suspension or dismissal from the course. Applications for the American Counseling Association (ACA) and for insurance are available online at www.counseling.org. Both ACA membership and liability insurance are available at reduced rates for students.
Students are eligible to enroll in the practicum courses after attaining candidacy and completing appropriate prerequisites. Scheduling conflicts can be minimized if the student keeps in close contact with the program advisor. Not all courses are offered every semester. The practicum experience will be afforded to the students through the following courses: Practicum I: Individual and Vocational Counseling (COUN 8842); Practicum II: Individual and Vocational Counseling (COUN 8845); and Practicum in Group Counseling (COUN 8856). COUN 8844 is oriented to children and adolescents and is the required practicum course for school counseling majors. Sessions in this course are conducted in school settings. COUN 8842, COUN 8845 and COUN 8856 are designed for counseling adults and are necessary for working in community agencies. The minimum requirement for the practicum courses is one hundred (100) hours, of which a minimum of forty (40) hours will be direct contact (individual/group counseling, consultation, etc.). These experiences should be documented on the Practicum Supervision form that the student is required to maintain and submit prior to internship.
During the practicum courses students should:
1. Earn 40 hours of direct client contact (including individual counseling and group work).2. Participate in one hour per week of individual (up to 2 supervisees) supervision a week by a faculty member.3. Participate in an average of 1.5 hours of group supervision a week provided by a faculty member.
A student is eligible to apply for internship after the successful completion of all core and practicum courses. Applications (and deadlines) are available online at www.govst.edu/gregg. Click "Current Students". The completed application will be returned to the advisor. Each semester the advisor will review the application and convene a meeting of the counseling faculty. The faculty will review the application and approve or make alternative recommendations. When applicable, students will be notified of their acceptance for internship. Students will be assigned to an internship supervisor with his/her sequence. Internship sites will be discussed and negotiated with the supervisor. When site approval has been established, the site procedures for interviews, hours, etc. must be followed. It is recommended that each potential intern review the syllabus, taking special note of the student, university coordinator and agency supervisor responsibilities. The internship requires 600 hours—Clinical Mental Health, Marriage and Family, and School students must complete two semesters of internship. A minimum of 240 hours will be direct service--individual/group counseling, testing and/or consultation. The other 360 hours will include report writing, agency meetings, supervision, professional development, special projects, etc. Students are required to participate in one hour of individual supervision on-site and 1.5 hours of group supervision hours a week on-campus from a faculty supervisor. The evaluation of the intern will be conducted by the faculty supervisor and site supervisor. The intern will have an opportunity to evaluate the site and the supervision experience. The internship experience is the culminating activity for all counseling students. It gives the student the opportunity to integrate what he or she has learned in the classroom and consolidate that learning in an applied setting. Internship placement for clinical mental health and marriage and family majors are normally available throughout the year. School counseling internships are not available during the summer semester.

I graduated from Renaissance back in 2012 and believe my experience was average. The school, like any other school, had issue but one of the biggest benefits I got was from the writing curriculum. As a college student, I have ran into students who have honestly never had to write a paper in their life but being a Renaissance grad, this was one skill they made sure we excelled in. I do, however, believe the school needs more AP course in other areas and more advanced math classes (highest is currently Calculus) to make students more qualified in other areas. I do believe administration also needs to better its relations with students because there is a lot of tension from both groups.
Renaissance is the best Public High School in Detroit. I would not have sent my son anywhere else. It prepares the kids for college. Many students go on to great colleges and do well! My son graduated June 2013. Some kids can't handle the work load and just can't excel there (my little brother couldn't) and its unfortunate. This school was a 10/10 when I enrolled him here in 2009. It needs to stay a 10/10. No other public school in Detroit is better.
I was told the Renaissance was the best high school in Detroit, MI. As a kid that started high school strong, with a 3.7 grade point average on average for all four report-cards, I recieved im looking to joining a better high school than I previously went too. I hope this school is like what it was told to me !
In response to the parent's post in May, there was no air conditioning at all when I attended Renaissance (I graduated in 1985) and I am no worse for the wear. You do not have to be in an air conditioned room to receive an education.
Renaissance is a great school. But, it still has it's problems like most schools do. I don't like when the air is not working, they keep the children in school when it's hot. Of course the office has air. Also when the power goes out, the students are still in school when they should be let out and sent home. I also don't like the fact that some teachers round up and others don' when it comes to grading system. To me that shows favoritism. This school is already a high magnitude school when it comes to the curriculum, so if a student has a 89.7%, give me a break and round it up. Renaissance can become the school it once was if everyone (faculty, parents and students) work together. Stop letting anybody in the school when appeal time comes. If the student couldn't pass a test to get in, well maybe they need npt be there. I'm not saying all of them, but the majority.
Wow I have been watching Renaissance score for the pass 10 plus years and Renaissance have always been rated 10 out of 10... Students and parents please help keep this school rating high. Please don't make excuses for your students base on what is going on in some DPS schools. Make sure your child respect the teachers and challenge your child do their best. Life is hard and your children should understand that now...
I am currently a freshmen at renaissance and its not as good as i thought iit would be. They expect so much only to threaten to kick you if your grades slip a little. Security rambles through our bag if it goes of in the metal detector. They force you to buy lunch from the school by offering gross lunch. I have been at Renni for a few months and haven't learned anything i dont already know.
This school is alright, but not like I intended. I'm currently a sophomore there and every thing has changed. Starting with the teachers, half of the ones I have now do not teach! They expect for us to use the books as the teacher instead. I wish it was something that could happen to change up the school a little bit to make it more interesting. I don't mind going to school, it's just that it gets boring and very irritating. As of right now, out of all of my seven classes I only have four good teachers. Something needs to happen.
When I attended the school (only a year from the date this was posted), it was an exquisite school. The expectations of the students' grades were kept high. Some classes were overcrowded, but not all. Extracurricular activites were very important to the students. The students performed greatly academically, musically, and athletically, winning championships on state levels.
Renaissance is a very good school. I graduated from the old building. The new building was supposed to open my senior year but did not because of a student's suggestion about the plan. There were never enough books, especially in 9th and 10th grades, but in 11th and 12th there were enough for students to have duplicates. Most of these books had other schools names in them. After a few minutes of critical thinking, one should realize that the high drop-out rate across the district is the only reason renaissance had books at all. This is a money problem not a school problem and shouldn't be addressed here. Renaissance was featured in U.S. News and World report because of its high achieving students in spite of a lack of resources. Every educational experience is what you make of it. I feel like I got the best education possible at Renaissance. I learned the content as well as some practical things because we didn't have much. At the end of the day, it is still a part pf DPS and functions within those confines. A school is only as esteemed as its students and alumni. If the quality of the educational experience is declining, it's up to students and parents to help the faculty fix it.
As a parent of a Renaissance High School student, my overall impression of this school is based off of my direct exposure to the faculty, staff, and other students. The faculty are highly credentialed and capable of providing premier instruction for the students. However, the combination of unmotivated students and disinterested faculty have created an environment of mediocrity. The curriculum that is offered is comparable to other college preparatory institutions (both private and public), yet it is solely the student's desires and efforts that will determine their success and knowledge acquired. Although high school begins that transition for students from having their hand held to becoming more responsible for themselves, they still need to be motivated and encouraged to excel and unfortunately the faculty at this school just does not offer that. Over the years, the GPA requirement to retain matriculation at Renaissance has been relaxed and is now as low as 2.50. The standards have fallen and so has the desire to be elite. Our children will not succeed in a competitive environment if the standard is BELOW average.
As a student who attends Renaissance I will tell you that everything is not what it seems. We're pressured more than you can imagine. All they care about right now is beating Cass Tech in scores and making sure we keep our rank as number one instead of actually teaching us. Some teachers play favoritism with grades so you could have an A paper but since they don't like you they'll give you an F. We're taught things that will be on the SAT and ACT we skip most of the chapters in our books so when we get to college we have to take repetitive classes because we skipped most of things which causes more stress on students. Even though all DPS schools are struggling with books we have Netbooks in our school and we don't use them. Our desks were specifically made for laptops and Netbooks but we don't use them. Since most classes ran short of books we just sit in class and do nothing. The teachers don't realize the stress they put on us I've had 6 panic attacks in school because I haven't had enough sleep and I forgot to do a project or paper and our library is rarely open. I chose this school because I heard it was one of the best schools out there...WRONG!!!!!
I am a parent of a Renaissance student and I must say since their freshman year to their current junior year, Renaissance High school has changed tremendously. The classrooms are overcrowded, there are not enough books, nor counselors. This is suppose to be a college prep school, yet there are only two counselors for the entire school. Next year will be even worse. The principal is leaving, the entire staff has received layoff notices and no one is prepping the kids for college, they are on their own. We have been told that there could be as many as 48 to 55 students in each classroom and they may become an open school, meaning you will not have to test to get in. I have not decided if my child will finish their senior year here or not, but I must say I am very disappointed in Renaissance high school it's not all that and the teachers truly act like they don't care. Parent teacher conferences are a joke, the sign clearly says five minutes per parent or make a meeting but the staff allows parents to hold up lines for forty-five minutes with no regards to the others parents that are waiting to see them. I do not recommend this school for future students.
As a former graduate (1998), I cannot really speak to the state of the school now. I can only say that I definitely do feel that the school prepared me quite well for college. When I went there, there were accelerated academic tracks within the college prep curriculum for students who were especially gifted in one or more areas. The teachers were inspiring (for the most part). They encouraged and prepared us to take Advance Placement courses and, if no class was available, some teachers stayed after hours to tutor us for the AP test. I took AP English and AP European History (with a teacher who was amazing!!), and studied afterhours for AP Macroeconomics, and got sufficient scores on all three tests, so that I had 9 college credit hours before I even applied to the university I ended up graduating from. I highly endorse Renaissance as a truly excellent DPS school (at least, the 1994--1998 version of the school).
I am wondering about weither I should go to Cass Technical High School or Renaissance .If anyone could be so helpful and reply and tell me about your expeirence with Renaissance.Thank You
My daughter graduate from Renaissance in 2010. She came from a scholar middle school but once she started Renaissance her gpa went from a 4.00 to well below 2.5 her 1st year. My daughter clean up her act the following year with the threat of getting kick out of this school. Once she made it to her senior year she look at her transcript and was embrass. Luckily she she did very well after her freshman year and was able to get into a excellent college with a scholarship. As a parent that attended every parent conference spoke with the counslor and prinicpal a lot over the years they are all excellent including the teache's. This is a College prep school and just have to work on being prepared,
honestly, Renaissance has become more of a regular DPS high school. we don't have books. the teachers dont teach as much. they expect too much of us without actually caring. ever since i got into Renaissance, my grades have went from 3.6+ to 2.4 and why? because the teachers expect everyone to catch on as much as other students and don't push us to do our work. threating to kick us out is not good, is pressuring and stressful. we're kids, we don't need stress at this age. i won't be attending it next year hopefully and i don't advise anyone to go there.
It breaks my heart to see the low level that one of Detroit's "premier" high schools is coming to. Renaissance is known as being one of the best high schools in Detroit, but based on my experiences this year with the faculty and students at this school, I know first hand that is not true. The counselors and principals are extremely unhelpful and uncaring, and the students are just as bad. They've enrolled so many students that they don't even have adequate amounts of BASIC school supplies to provide to the students (e.i. textbook, ink for the teachers, ect.). I've encountered many staff member who themselves recognize the all-time low standards for Renaissance's students, and are concerned about the future of Renaissance and the reputation of the school. Renaissance has been able to distinguish itself from the other schools in the city and has broken the "DPS Norm" for its schools, but this school is RAPIDLY beginning to become just your other DPS school, and it doesn't seem as if anyone is concerned with changing that any time soon.
Renaissance is not the friendliest school to attend. If your student cannot hold themselves than it would not be the best choice because help is not available.Safety was not the best. You always hear the good things never the realistic issues with the school.
I am currently a sophmore at Renaissance High School. I won't say I love it, but it definitely prepares you for a higher level of education. I won't say I love it because at Renaissance you have a lot of hard work and sometimes the teachers can be less than helpful. But there are some great teachers here. The only problem I have is that they have lowered the acceptance rate at which they let students into the school. It has really started to shame our schools name. Renaissance is not for everyone, you have to work hard and be prepared for stress and many late nights. You schedule your freetime around homework. And you always have homework whether it be actual do-mow homework or studying(and lots of it). Overall, its a good school but you have to work hard if you want to stay.

anarchism, cluster of doctrines and attitudes centred on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary. Anarchist thought developed in the West and spread throughout the world, principally in the early 20th century. Derived from the Greek root (anarchos) meaning "without authority," anarchism, anarchist, and anarchy are used to express both approval and disapproval. In early usage all these terms were pejorative: for example, during the English Civil Wars (1642–51) the radical Levellers, who called for universal manhood suffrage, were referred to by their opponents as "Switzerising anarchists," and during the French Revolution the leader of the moderate Girondin faction of Parliament, Jacques-Pierre Brissot, accused his most extreme rivals, the Enragés, of being the advocates of "anarchy": Laws that are not carried into effect, authorities without force and despised, crime unpunished, property attacked, the safety of the individual violated, the morality of the people corrupted, no constitution, no government, no justice, these are the features of anarchy.
These words could serve as a model for the denunciations delivered by all opponents of anarchism. The anarchists, for their part, would admit many of Brissot's points. They deny man-made laws, regard property as a means of tyranny, ... (200 of 11,025 words)

OTTUMWA, IOWA -- Bettendorf's John Archer won the Republican bid for Iowa's Second Congressional District seat over Dan Dolan in the primary elections last month, and he will now take on Democratic incumbent Dave Loebsack in November.
Archer's primary focus before the primary election was job creation, energy independence and a cut in spending. The former John Deere employee stopped by Ottumwa Monday, and told KTVO that his focused has not really changed.
Congress's action on several bills in the last few weeks, however, have prompted him to push governance reform and take a hard look at the bills being passed in Washington. The Affordable Healthcare Act, he said, is too long a bill that too little people, them being constituents or legislators, understand.
"We have to understand what's in a bill, I think before we vote for it, and I think that can resonate with every voter in the second district," Archer said. "That's part of the problem in the U.S. Congress these days is we pass massive pieces of legislation, but yet we really don't have any idea what's in those pieces of legislation and then we empower unelected bureaucrats to come up with the rules and regulations to implement that bad piece of legislation."
Also passed by Congress last week was the highway and student interest rate bill, which dedicated money to infrastructure reform and froze student loan rates at 3.4%. Archer said the two issues should have been divided into two bills that would have been voted on one at a time.
"Certainly, in Southeast Iowa, the transportation bill, we needed to pass that, absolutely no question," Archer said. "As farm implements become larger, farmers need to transport their goods from one spot to the market, rural Iowa needs some new infrastructure and that's a step in the right direction. But to couple the student loan bill with the transportation bill just because of expediency doesn't make a lot of sense to me."
Archer said he will continue to push a bottom-up type of government, and work on appealing to a larger voting audience than the one that voted in June.

in response to sankara:
I think true conservatives and Republicans should investigate some of their history and realize that talking about a moral obligation to the less fortunate is not some modern, liberal, post-LBJ expression, but actually was a big part of early American conservatism and the pre-1950's Republican Party.
In the Gilded Age some of the strongest voices against concentrated wealth and monopoly capitalism came from Republican reformers and conservative Democrats who joined forces occasionally to try to "clean up" some of the abuses of political bossess who exploited the immigrants and the poor for votes and the monopolists who strangled legitimate capitalism through political bribery. John Sherman, a Republican, proposed the break up Big Business to help small businesses competes. The beginnings of social reform movement against alcohol and child labor all started in Republican circles because the GOP of that era viewed itself paternalistically as responsible for the moral uplift of immigrants and the poor.
Jane Addams was a founding member of the Illinois Republican Party and opened her famous Hull House community after years spent meditating on the demands of the Gospel with regards to the poor.
Walter Rauschenbusch, also a Republican, wrote in 1917 The Theory of the Social Gospel, that among other strong messages says that Jesus's crucifixtion was related to public sins, such the corruption of justice and militarism, more than private sins, like adultery.
It's sad that the modern conservative movement and Republican Party have veered so far from this tradition as to reject out of hand any organized compassion for the poor. Believe it or not I heard Sean Hannity have a moment of agreement with Cornell West and Tavis Smiley on his show a few weeks ago that neither party has a tax plan that works to assist the poor. Hannity obviously didn't want welfare handouts, but I'll give him credit for acknowledging that something proactive should be done because it is not in any of our interests to say "screw 'em, their lazy (which is what is going to be said 200 times on this message board today).
It's interesting that if Wendi or any of the other godless commie liberals on this board want to reach back in their history for inspiration about moral obligations to the poor, they are most likely going to find Republicans and Christians as their guides. Maybe some of you Republicans and Christians could try reconnecting with the uplifting and moral part of your heritage, not the bitter, selfish part of your heritage.
Amen. The Republican Party of today is shameful and mocks its own history !!
Surely Lincoln is rolling over in his grave !!

Applying for a Loan |
Finding a lender Choosing a mortgage Shopping interest rates Loan application costs Qualifying for a loan The appraisal process Real Estate Glossary |
Shopping interest ratesYou may discuss with your lender whether interest rates are likely to rise while your loan is being processed. If you anticipate rising rates, it might be a good idea to "lock" the current interest rate. When you lock a rate, you may have to pay points to guarantee the rate. (Your lender can provide more specifics about this option.) A point equals one percent of the loan amount. So, if you are applying for a mortgage totaling $120,000 one point would equal $1,200. You should know the interest rate and APR, Annual Percentage Rate, and to keep the quoted rates in mind when shopping for a mortgage loan. It's also important to consider other fees that the lender can add on that might make a lower interest loan actually cost you more money than a mortgage with a higher rate but less miscellaneous costs. If you lock, it's important to get an agreement in writing that lists when the lock takes effect and how long it remains applicable. The length of the lock should last through the closing on your loan. Lenders typically provide a variety of "lock options," and they can help you select the one that best fits your needs. In most cases, once you've signed the loan application, you will have to accept the terms of the loan if it's approved. So, you should make sure your loan application contains terms and amounts that are acceptable to you. If your application for financing is denied, you may have to pay the lender's processing fees -- which may include, but are not limited to, an application fee and a credit report fee. You should try to identify the reasons your application was rejected. Perhaps you need to improve your credit rating before you can qualify for a loan. If you have limited funds in your savings or checking account, or you have inadequate funds for a down payment you may need to investigate other loan programs. Your lender can provide additional information if needed. |

By Mary Clarkin - The Hutchinson News - firstname.lastname@example.com
Once when Hutchinson resident Anthony Stokley received a pair of eyeglasses, the left lens came with an eye drawn on it."So cool," said Stokley's mother, Rebecca Buhler, grateful for the unexpected gesture.
Stokley completely lost his left eye - and inserting a glass eye is not an option - as a result of surgery for tumors beneath his eye.
The knit cap he wore to a recent interview at The News covered where his left ear used to be. The white band that looped around the top of his head and the bottom of his chin is essential because tumors make his head heavy and pull the skin.
Stokley's life has been punctuated with surgeries. On April 24, he will undergo an approximately 20-hour-long surgery by a team of physicians.
This will be his 90th operation.
"Elephant Man" disease
Stokley, who will turn 33 in early May, suffers from neurofibromatosis. The disease attacks the central nervous system and can cause disfigurement. "The Elephant Man" movie was based on Joseph Merrick, who had the disease.
The disease can be hereditary and Stokley's father, David Stokley, has neurofibromatosis that is manifest internally.
Anthony's two older sisters do not have symptoms. His older brother, Robert, had the disease and died at five and a half months.
Doctors thought Anthony, too, would die very young, said Buhler, but he insisted he wasn't going to die.
The surgery to remove the clusters of tumors won't restore Stokley's eye or ear or erase damage to the jaw and mouth. It should ease painful pressure.
The skin is vulnerable to splitting open, Buhler said, pointing to stitches on the left side of Stokley's face that were required after a recent skin tear.
He has learned to live with the pain, Buhler said.
Coffee and walks
Stokley likes to talk, but his speech is difficult to understand.
Buhler understands what he says, and sometimes reminds him to watch his language.
Buhler pulled him out of middle school in Hutchinson at age 15. Some school experiences were good; others weren't.
"He's good with his hands," Buhler said, and he can tinker in the garage.
He especially enjoys the outdoors. The disease affects his gait, and he sometimes uses a cane for balance. A walk often takes him to his neighborhood Kwik Shop at 17th and Plum, for coffee.
Yes, he comes in daily, said store staff.
The Kwik Shop is a friendly place, Buhler said, but she admits she worries about him when he goes out because people can be mean. He knows he is not supposed to cross Main Street.
Buhler is a driver for a contract hauler delivering The News to southwest Kansas. Six nights a week, she'll drive to Liberal. Every other night, Stokley accompanies her.
"We have a good time in the car," she said, and she pays him for his help.
The trek wears him out, and that's why he goes only every other night, Buhler said.
Stokley is a Kansas City Chiefs fan, enjoys the "Simpsons" on television, and his taste in music runs to country. Stokley would like a driver's license, a job and a girlfriend.
Frustration surfaces more in the mother than son.
When little, he climbed up to look in a mirror, rubbing his enlarged cheek, and asking, "Why, Momma?"
He doesn't complain, Buhler said. And he doesn't ask why.
Buhler keeps a notebook containing newspaper clippings about Stokley and his battle with the disease. They date back to the decade when he was born and going to the University of Kansas Medical Center and St. Luke's Hospital, both in the Kansas City area.
One clipping from 1988 described how Buhler attempted to raise money for medical payments by going door-to-door in Alva, Okla.
"I only knock on doors when I have to," Buhler says now.
Stokley has Medicaid coverage, but that doesn't cover expenses incurred by the family, including travel and lodging and meals, during a hospitalization.
"They're saying 10 days but it could be longer, depending on complications and how he bounces back," Buhler said of the projected hospital stay in Dallas.
The surgeons will "pull his face back up again," she said, and once it heals, Stokley won't have to wear the white band around his head.
"He won't need it again until he gets big again," Buhler said.
Donations to help Anthony Stokley and his family can be sent to a savings account set up at Bank of the West, 829 East 30th Ave., Hutchinson, KS 67502. Please make checks out to Anthony Stokley.
Stokley will be admitted April 23 to Children's Medical Center of Dallas. Cards may be sent to him at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, 1935 Medical District Dr., Dallas, TX 75235.

If you do not capture the interest of all the online users in the World Wide Web you will not be able to promote whatever you are trying to sell. With so many establishments doing business online, you do not want to be left behind. Even if traditional marketing and promotions still work, these are not enough to generate additional revenue for your company. With so many people largely dependent on using the Internet, it is time that you join in and begin constructing your own website.
A skilful and knowledgeable website designer doing your website design plays a chief role in leading people to access your website with just a few clicks of the mouse. A professional web creator should be able to put in choice words that people will be able to use in order to search for your establishment in the World Wide Web. In order to catch the attention of guests to your website, make sure that your web address is a part of the leading search engines.
For your website to survive in a sea of websites online, make certain that you own web design is user-friendly so that your clients will be able to find their way in your site. All the pages in your website should be easily accessible and should be located without any complications. An exceptional web creator for your web design should know the difference between a white hat technique and a black hat procedure. Your web builder doing your website design should identify which method to avoid and what is manageable for your site. Just keep in mind that you really have to be very cautious on what web design you would like for your site.
Your site's designer should be able to realise just how vital driving people to use your website. He or she should be able to recommend the different methods by which your site can be optimised and how it will be popular among the foremost search engines. Keyword density is part of the success of your website. Choice wordings should not be more than 20% of the contents of your site. Wordings should be the right ones and relevant to your site.

Tangled Ever After – What's The Story?
Following on from the huge success of the Disney movie, Tangled, the Tangled Ever After film proved a huge success with audiences who saw the short film before the viewing of the Beauty and the Beast 3D.
For those of you how haven't seen it, Tangled Ever After is the story of Eugene (Flynn Rider) and Rapunzel's wedding. This is a huge celebration for the Kingdom who not only have their princess back but have a wedding to celebrate or as Rapunzel and Eugene call it 'the biggest shindig the kingdom has ever seen'.
All the plans go really well, the kingdom looks fantastic and Rapunzel is a very beautiful bride. All the usual suspects are in attendance, the King and Queen, the thugs the Stabbington Brothers, the drunk old man, Pascal as 'flower girl' and Maximus as the 'best man'.
It looks like it will be the perfect wedding but …….
I won't spoil it for those who have not seen the film but trust me when I say you won't be disappointed. Lets just say Pascal and Maximus have a hard time looking after the wedding rings!
To celebrate the release of this short film Disney have released a range of Tangled Ever After products which are truly beautiful.
Click the link to take a look at the full Tangled Ever After Rapunzel Wedding Collection at the Disney Store.
Tangled Ever After Rapunzel Wedding Collection
First to mention is the very exclusive Limited Edition Tangled Ever After Rapunzel Wedding Doll. This doll is absolutely stunning and even more unusual it shows Rapunzel with her short brown hair. Everything is a replica of the movie including her stunning wedding gown. The detail is the ivory, purple and gold dress is so intricate and delicate this is sure to be a huge collectors item.
She is a little taller than most Disney dolls standing a 17″ high. But really this only makes the doll even more impressive. If you do collect Disney dolls such as the Disney Princess Designer Dolls then this will be a fantastic addition to you collection .
Rapunzel comes with a display stand and a Certificate of Authenticity. With a global edition release of 8000 I would make sure you place your order fast. The doll is due to be relaxed on 28 March 2012 but you can pre-order now to avoid disappointment when she sells out.
And for your very own princess you now have the perfect gown. The Limited edition Rapunzel Wedding Dress is the most beautiful dressing up gown I have ever seen. The dress is based on the one worn by Rapunzel in the movie with the same colours of ivory, purple and gold. It has lots of embroidery and beautiful glittering tule and satin underskirts. The reviews of this dress have been nothing short of amazing.

Tangled Ever After Wedding Collection Comments
Most beautiful costume!
The Rapunzel wedding dress is the most beautiful costume I've seen. I bought it for my daughter today and the detail is just amazing. It is literally like a real wedding dress. The material is similar to adult gowns. I walked away at first, due to the price, but went back because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I know my younger daughter will wear it eventually and the dress appears to be such high-quality that I know it will last through 2 children.
This Gown is Phenomenal
Being a costume maker and a sewer, I can really appreciate the design of this gown. The execution was flawless. The fabric is soft yet heavy, but not to an overwhelming extent. The glitter actually stays in place, unlike a lot of other dresses. The gown is lined to prevent excessive itchiness. By far, this dress is one of the best, if not the best dress I have ever seen at the Disney Store. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get something lovely for their little princess!
Best. Dress. Ever!!!!
"Daddy, this dress is stunning!". These were the words of my 6-year old daughter the night that she saw this dress. And, I absolutely agree with her. The dress is just that – stunning. The dress has noticeable weight to it, but not to the point of discomfort; the weight is a testament to the quality of the material. It is completely lined and not at all itchy as so many other dresses are. The detail is unmatched – the glitter on the train and the embroidery in the gown are both just amazing. Perhaps most important, it has that perfect twirl factor – parents of girls know how important it can be that the dress allows for those picture-perfect twirls, and this one does not disappoint While the dress might come with a price tag that makes you initially say "but it's for dress up", this is certainly not the case. It is truly a collectors piece that your daughter will wear and you will both treasure for ever. The value of the dress far exceeds the cost – you can put a price tag on precious memories.
The dress is part of the Limited Edition Rapunzel Wedding Collection featuring the Rapunzel Hair Piece with Golden Braid, the Rapunzel Wedding Costume Accessory Set including the veil, ring and bouquet and last but not lease the Wedding Shoes. All little girls will love this set. Yes, it is expensive there is no getting away from that fact but you are getting a lot for your money.
(Click the image for more details of the beautiful Rapunzel Wedding Costume Accessory Set)
And I can only imagine the pleasure and happiness my little girl will get from such a set. My youngest daughter who is five loves to dress-up, any excuse birthday parties, non-uniform day a school, playing in the house or garden, trips to the supermarket – you name it she has worn a dressing-up outfit to it and to be honest I love it when she does. I love the innocence and the fact that she does't care what people think just as long as she is happy and she thinks she looks pretty. I would love her to stay that way forever but I fear that won't be the case. Sorry, going a bit off course here – I think that is a discussion for another day!!
The Tangled Ever After Rapunzel Wedding Collection is some of the best products I have ever seen from Disney. The fantastic fabrics and attention to detail is amazing. Whatever you choose from the Tangled Ever After range is sure to be a huge success with your own Princess.

"Decent mittens"
These mittens wouldn't be worth 45 dollars but 30 is a good price for them. They stay dry when it dumps snow. Worked well in mid 20 degree weather.
"Grenade Mitts"
I used to hate mitts but ever since I got these I haven't worn gloves since, even in spring conditions. They held up nice during wetter snow days although they didmget wet on the outside. These are more of a lightweight mitt.

"Warm but not perfect"
Me and my wife both wore these Mittens to our first time snowboarding. We purchased these because they were inexpensive and had our sizes. At first we were worried that they were not gonna keep us warm and so many people had told us that good gloves are very important part of the snowboarding experience. Supprisingly these mittens were very warm and stayed completely dry, so in that sense they did their job. Unfortunatly they were very difficult to do anything else in; we had to take them off for just about everything, putting our bindings on and off even taking my jacket off was hard with these mittens. Also at some point I was sweating so much that my hands were burning up and I had to take them off. So to sum up mittens were cheap and warm but would have preffered them to be more flexible. Or I should have just gone with gloves.
"grenade mittens"
These are great mittens, the only thing I don't like is the fact that it didn't come with a set of inner gloves.. I use a set of old inner gloves that came with my old grenade mittens and they work great.. The mittens are real warm and they stay dry through full days of riding.

Ross Brawn has ruled out throwing extra resources into this year's Championship fight as Merc are not thinking about this title...
Mercedes' Saturday domination continued in Belgium when Lewis Hamilton claimed his fourth successive pole position and his fifth of the season.
The P1 bodes well for the British driver as the last time he was on pole, Hungary, he went on to take the victory, closing the gap to Sebastian Vettel in the Drivers' Championship.
With 225 points to play for, including Sunday's 25, Hamilton is 48 points behind the German.
Brawn, though, is adamant his team won't be taking resources away from next year's car to throw into this year's challenge.
"We're not thinking in terms of winning the Championship," the team boss told ESPNF1.
"I don't want that to sound like we don't want to win the Championship, of course we do, but we're not compromising our 2014 programme.
"Our 2014 programme is well defined, in good shape and progressing well. There are some big challenges remaining but we are certainly not going to compromise that.
"There is always a float of people you can move around a bit and that is what we are working with. We want to try and win as many race weekends as we can, but we don't want to compromise the 2014 programme."
The Englishman added that while Mercedes are enjoying their run of form, which includes three wins in fives races, it would take "some pretty unusual circumstances" to beat Vettel to the title.
"It's great to win races, that's why we are here. We want to win as many races as we can this year and things will develop as they develop," he said.
"I think everyone recognises what a great job Sebastian is doing and it would have to be some pretty unusual circumstances, it could happen.
"We're not changing our approach and I think that's the important thing. I think we have a very good programme, with the 2014 car is progressing well and lots of our team is focused on that and won't be distracted from that.
"There are a small amount of things we can do for the rest of this year and a number of things we will continue with.
"The reality is that if you are in a position where you abandon the season, it's normally because you don't have a very good car. Fortunately we have a good car this year and we want to keep it going."

Tim 'Terrible' Witherspoon to attend Newport boxing show
6:01pm Tuesday 3rd September 2013 in Wales rugby and football By Andrew Penman
FORMER world heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon will be the guest of honour at the Newport Centre's latest boxing show on September 21.
The 55-year-old from Philadelphia held the WBC and WBA belts in the 1980s, beating James 'Bonecrusher' Smith, Frank Bruno and Tony Tubbs and losing a split decision to Larry Holmes.
Witherspoon, who is being flown over by promoter Mark Prior, will be ringside to watch the Celtic lightweight title fight between Newport's Craig Woodruff and Mitchell Buckland.
He will then attend the after-show party at the Baneswell Social Club in Newport where he will sign autographs before entertaining fans with tales from his boxing career.
The Newport Centre show starts at 7pm on Saturday, September 21, and tickets are available from matchmaker Steve Sims on 07761965416.
As well as Alway's Woodruff, trained by ex-Britin champion Sims, against Buckland of Tony Borg's St Joseph's gym, the bill also includes Peter Ashton v Jay Morris, Jerome Samuels v Dai Jones and Dorian Darch v Janis Ginters.
The fighters will be taking part in a public training session ahead of the show with a ring to be erected in Newport's John Frost Square on Saturday, September 14, at 1pm.
"We are trying to make the people of Newport aware of the show and get them interested in top quality boxing in their city," said Sims.
"Craig Woodruff and Mitchell Buckland will both be taking part as well as local favourites like Jerome Samuels and we hope the public get on board for what should be a fantastic night of boxing in Newport."

Kenya Tours and Safaris
- Masai Mara
- Lake Nakuru
- Samburu Game Reserve
- Mt. Kenya
- Lake Naivasha
It could be argued that "safari" was born in Kenya, with the primal drama of lion, leopard and cheetah hungrily following a sea of wildebeest so immense, at times it seems the earth itself is moving. Africa's single most famous safari draw, the annual Great Migration occurs every September and October as animals travel between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara park reserve. The park takes its name from famous nomadic Maasai people, who wander as freely across the Kenya-Tanzania border as their cattle. There is more to Kenya than safari, though: from coral reefs and white sand beaches to tea plantations, plus a tourism infrastructure that can get you to all of them, you're not likely to get bored.
Kenya Safari Experience (DKKS)
If you're of the opinion that 'safari' doesn't have to be synonymous with 'roughing it', have we got an adventure for you! Designed for travellers who long to get out into the thick of Kenya's game parks and reserves by day and sleep in a cozy bed by night, this trip maximizes both wildlife access and creature comforts. Witness thousands of flamingos stopping for a drink in Lake Nakuru, explore the vast plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve and gaze in awe at the peaks of Kilimanjaro in the distance from Amboseli National Park. Maximum Africa—minimal sweat.
Highlights: Explore the Masai Mara and Kenya's premiere game reserves with an expert local safari-guide, photograph thousands of flamingos at Lake Nakuru, get up-close and personal with wildlife in a small safari 4x4 with a maximum group size of 6, take in views of Mt Kilimanjaro at our comfortable tented camp inside Amboseli

Our small safari vehicles minimize drive times and improve your chances of snapping that perfect shot of some of the most amazing animals on the planet.

Zander, there is no exit for this vantage point. This is a bridge that connects Elysian Park to the other side of Elysian Park ( the Chinatown side). The park got divided when the Freeway was built . The bridge connect the parks together. The best way to get to the site is to take the Broadway Street entrance of the park, (right next to the Los Angeles River and Bridge , drive up the windy and curvy road til you drive over the Bridge over the Pasadena freeway. Hope this helps.
