Chambre dans un appartement très agréable. Marcel et sa fille ont fait preuve d une grande hospitalité. En revanche, naïvement nous pensions avoir réservé un studio comme mentionné dans l'annonce ce qui n est pas le cas '..
Unkompliziert, nett, alles in Ordnung - gerne wieder :)
Die Unterkunft liegt nahe eines Industrigebietes, jedoch fahren 10 Minuten entfernt Straßenbahnen in die Innenstadt und zurück, daher stört die dezentrale Lage gar nicht.
We had a Great time At Marcel's. The room is spacious and there are also
A couple of chairs and table to chill out on the evening or have breakfast in the morning. You have full use of the kitchen with every appliance you may want. The bathroom and toilet are in good conditions, clean and big enough. The position is also good since you can Reach the Central station in exactly 14 mins from the flat(including 3 mins walk to the metro station Van der Madeweg). Marcel and his daughter were very friendly even though we didn't have much chance to talk to them due to different mealtimes and habits. Please notice that this is a marijuana-friendly place but that in Your room you can't really smell it if you don't smoke yourself. In General, I think this is the best accommodation you can find in Amsterdam For a reasonable price.
The room is aprox. 14 m2. Nice view from the room, windows in all the lenght of the room. Good heating. There is acces to the livingroom/kitchen where the family lives ( and sleeps). The dog is quite lively and runs into your room, if you dont close the door firmly. The family is friendly.
There are three rooms for rent, so at peek times is 8 people sharing one toilet and one bathroom.
Not a place we would choose again.
Nous avons eu quatre jours très agréables !
Je peux exprimer ma recommandation pour l'appartement en tout cas, le métro est atteint en 2 minutes à pied et se déplace en environ 10 minutes et au-delà de quelques minutes à Centraal.
Le séjour c'est très bien déroulé chez notre hôte Marcel ! Nous n'avons pas pu beaucoup parler avec lui à cause de notre niveau d'Anglais.
Prix / performance est dans une très équilibré !
Très correct. La chambre était agréable et propres et très proche du centre de la ville avec le métro.
Salutations à nouveau pour vous Marcel, Ronja et de la Luna , Merci encore !!! a bientôt! :-)
We had four nice days !
I can express my recommendation for the apartment anyway, the metro is reached in 2 minutes on foot and moves in about 10 minutes and beyond a few minutes to Centraal .
The living room is very well at our Marcel host! We could not talk to him much because of our level of English .
Price / performance is in a very balanced !
Very correct. The room was nice and clean and very near the center of the city with the subway.
Greetings to you again Marcel , Ronja and Luna, Thanks again !!! See you soon! :-)
Marcel and his daughter were very gentle hosts, Marcel himself showed his competence as a touristic guide by describing and showing us the surroundings and the city itself. Also we had lots of freedom in the apartment and were able to use the living room and the kitchen every time that we wanted to cook or to relax on the couch. Additionally, the balcony has a nice view and it's a comfortable place to relax. Concluding it was an outstanding experience in Amsterdam and I would recommend Marcel's apartment to everyone!
- Quality assured accommodation

This must be the start of Miley Cyrus' lesbian phase.
Miley Cyrus was caught holding hands with a new girlfriend (love the hair!) at Los Angeles International Airport, LAX, in Los Angeles, California. It's probably a stretch that Miley's gone lesbian, but not as much of a stretch as the plausibility of her next film role.
In So Undercover, Cyrus will play a tough, street-smart private eye hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority.
God help us all.


text: Parking can be a challenge in the city, which is why COMMUNITY developed a relationship with the parking garage across the lane from Germania Place. When you pull up to Germania, look for the parking attendants pointing you to the garage where there is valet parking – no tip necessary. Just be sure to get your parking validation from our First Impressions team. We look forward to seeing Sunday!

UNHCR warns that 'humanitarian space' is shrinking fast in Côte d'Ivoire

|UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UNHCR warns that 'humanitarian space' is shrinking fast in Côte d'Ivoire, 4 March 2011, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4d70ec1a2.html [accessed 1 June 2016]
UNHCR is warning today that access for humanitarian organizations in Abidjan and other parts of Côte d'Ivoire is shrinking rapidly amid widening insecurity.
In Abidjan, the estimated number of displaced people now exceeds 200,000 most of these are people who have fled the fighting in Abobo. Many are staying with friends or relatives, but large numbers possibly a quarter of the displaced are staying in temporary locations around the city, including in churches and other communal places. These groups are in urgent need of humanitarian help.
UNHCR is seeking access to these vulnerable individuals, including by working through NGOs that we have been coordinating with. But humanitarian space in Abidjan as elsewhere in Côte d'Ivoire is being squeezed hard. Large numbers of refugees from Liberia, who are unable to repatriate, have taken refuge in the UNHCR compound in Abidjan since Monday 28th March.
In Abobo, which is normally home to around 1.5 million people, the recent fighting has disrupted communications by destroying SMS and TV transmitters. We are still very concerned about a group of 60 families trapped inside a church and without proper food, water, or sanitation, and we have appealed to combatants for these people to be let out. Insecurity in Abidjan has also spread to the Deux Plauteaux, Cocody, and Koumassi neighbourhoods and the business district of Le Plateau. We are seeing increasing numbers of roadblocks.
Heavy fighting has also taken place in the west of the country around Duékoué as well as in Blolequin about 90 kilometres further south. We estimate that there are currently around 70,000 displaced people in the west and we continue to see large numbers of people crossing into Liberia.
In eastern Liberia itself UNHCR has registered some 40,000 refugees since the elections in November. Since 24 February these have been joined by 32,800 new arrivals putting local communities and the Liberian authorities under considerable strain. Host communities and refugees are in need of food, and road access problems continue to make it difficult to get aid to people in need. Meanwhile UNHCR is rushing to build a second camp

text: By Shari FriedelTribune Staff The Perkins County Invitational and South Platte Valley Association cross country competition were hosted by Perkins County on Thursday, Oct. 8. The race is run once, but scored twice to tabulate statistics for the two competitions. A brisk day that threatened rain made the participants bundle up for their run through the Grant Golf Course. In SPVA action, Perkins County girls were second with a team score of 30, behind North Platte St. Pat's with 15 points. "I was thrilled for the girls," said Coach Paula Wurst. "It is nice for them to be SPVA runners up. They are running their best times at the right time, with district this week." Coming in second place with a time of 17:12 was Ashley Kemling of Perkins County. Senior Lady Plainsman Brooke Poppe finished ninth in 19:03. Both girls were slightly short of their best times. Jessi Hoffert and Krystal Gaar both ran season personal records. On the boys' side, Perkins County finished in third place at SPVA, with Rassel Hausman finishing in the fourth place spot with a time of 18:53. "Rassel ran a fantastic race, running with the lead pack by the first half mile, and finishing a strong fourth," said Wurst. "He and Kyle Bottom (Chase County) worked well together, encouraging each other throughout the race." Markus Wehrmann, Jake Sexson and Seth Burge also worked well together, Wurst said. "I am excited to see their strong pack developing." Brian Krajewski ran one of his strongest races of the year and Pierre Schmitt finished well in spite of an injury. Mark Hanson and Zac White also had fine races, Wurst said. She hopes to see Josh Sexson, who has been battling injury and illness, healthy by districts on Thursday.SPVAGirls' Team Scores:1.

Photography with Passion & Life in Motion
'What I will not teach you is how to be me!' To develop your own style as I have done over the years becomes your USP. Clients book photographers on the 'feel factor' and not based on how great an image-maker you are. But, if you can be both it means a healthy and successful business. The aim of this program is to open your minds to a wealth of possibilities and encourage you to be creative, reactive and responsive to the needs of your demanding clients. I aim to cover…

My aim is to prepare you to become the photographers and business people you wish to be and yours should to be to have a great time and learn with a smile! The photography training program itself is a framework and has the ability to 'morph' to your needs, but suffice to say we will be busy. We are a team and in this together to share.
My role is as much a 'mentor' and friend to support you all in your professional development. Secondly I am a firm believer that as much can be learned relaxing over dinner and a beer rather than solely in the classroom. It is important to stress once again that the program is a guideline and inevitably other areas of discussion, and needs, will open up.
I would like to meet small groups of you guys at Breakfast every morning at 7.30am to provide a little more support and give you the chance to chat to me outside the class format. We can discuss the timetable at our 'meet & greet' session on Sunday evening.
I want to make sure that there is sufficient time on each day for preparation and presentation of your best images every day so can I ask that when you are done shooting in your practical sessions that you commence downloading & retouching straight away.
So until we meet, safe journeys to you all and I look forward immensely to the pleasure of your company.

Forty years later, a mythic San Francisco
neighborhood recalls its Summer of Love.
Yes, the Grateful Dead lived there, and their house at 710 Ashbury is a landmark. Yes, Janis Joplin lived there, briefly. And all the big groups—Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Quicksilver Messenger Service—visited and played impromptu shows in nearby Golden Gate Park.
But one memorable moment came to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury District on August 8, 1967—smack-dab in the middle of the counterculture phenomenon that would become known as the Summer of Love–when George Harrison visited. He'd heard about the hippies living there in communal "pads," extolling free love, and, if they were political, protesting the war in Vietnam. As an embodiment of unfettered expression, the neighborhood called out to tens of thousands of other young people. Singer Scott McKenzie harmonized, "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair." And they did come: men, women, and Beatles.
That day, Harrison strolled along Haight Street with his wife, Pattie, wound up on a patch of the park known as Hippie Hill, borrowed a guitar, and began playing and chatting with his fans.
"What do you think of the Haight?" one of them asked.
"Wow, if it's all like this, it's all too much," Harrison replied.
But years later, he changed his tune. "I expected them to be nice and clean and happy," he said. Instead, he found the hippies "hideous, spotty little teenagers." It was like that for the Haight—one minute a funky oasis bathed in a psychedelic glow; the next, a battered testament to human frailties and excess.
Before all the hype, the Haight was a residential neighborhood whose large Victorian houses and cheap rents drew college students and professors from San Francisco State—and, in the early '60s, beatniks, artists, and others.
"The Haight," says Charles Perry, author of The Haight-Ashbury: A History, "was just a neighborhood where rather a lot of people were interested in art and getting high."
By the time the media and the hordes descended, most of the original residents had fled. Within a year, the area had begun its descent into disrepair.
Then, in the mid-'70s, baby boomers began moving in and fixing up neglected homes. Nice restaurants, boutiques, and bookstores popped up. So did a Ben & Jerry's, serving up "Cherry Garcia" ice cream, on the corner of Haight and Ashbury.
That's where fans of the Grateful Dead gathered when Jerry Garcia died in 1995. And that, according to Gary Frank, owner of the Booksmith on Haight since 1976, was a turning point. Before then, he says, whenever a Dead show was on the horizon, the Haight would draw "a mix of flower children who experienced the '60s and a new generation of flower children who were babies in 1967. They came here to experience the spirit of the '60s. But for Haight Street, the '60s died when Jerry died."
The Haight itself, however, remains very much alive. Those pining for what it was like 40 years ago can pick up tie-dyed souvenirs at Positively Haight Street. Nirvana (and Nirvana) awaits music aficionados at Amoeba Music, an old bowling alley now crammed with thousands of new and used vinyl albums, CDs, and DVDs. Aardvark's caters to clothes hounds in search of vintage threads, from patchwork pants to Hawaiian shirts. Patrons at the Red Vic Movie House relax on couches and munch on organic popcorn while watching an eclectic lineup of films.
The local eateries also provide a taste of the neighborhood, from the pork quesadillas at Cha Cha Cha to the Moroccan lamb sliders at the Alembic. Cap off your meal with an old-fashioned martini at Zam Zam. More mellow spirits may be found at the 36-room Stanyan Park Hotel, where guests enjoy afternoon tea.
Here, there, and everywhere, you can find something new along with vestiges of the way things used to be when, as one famous visitor put it, it was "all too much."

Big Ten Geeks: Badgers Shock Indiana
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
Wisconsin now owns the most impressive result in all of college basketball after its five point win at Indiana. During the Badgers' nonconference struggles, we Geeks wondered what was up with Wisconsin's defense. While the Badgers were still stifling the offense of many a cupcake, they were getting lit up (in a relative sense) against tournament-level teams.

Convertible Oar Right
Item: 77413.01 | Product Description »
(5) | Write a Review | Ask a Question | 3 Questions
- The spline of the Oar Right fits between the horns of an open oarlock to "lock" your oar blade in position for the most effective stroke.
- You can still feather the oar blade by simply tugging the oar in so the spline of the Oar Right clears the oarlock horns, or you can flip the spline up and out of the way for easy feathering.
- For Carlisle and Cataract oars, use the Molded Oar Sleeve with the Oar Right for proper fit.
- The Oar Right clamps securely to the Molded Oar Sleeve (sold separately) with two beefy stainless steel bolts.
- Molded glass fill Nylon construction will give you years of troublefree service.
- Adjusts from 2" to 2 1/4" for Carlisle & Cataraft Oars with Oar Sleeves.

Comments about Convertible Oar Right:
The Convertible Oar Right serves a valuable purpose beyond stabilizing an anchored boat when in the current. I row a raft and hard boat on western rivers, fly fishing for trout. I often share rowing duties with friends who drink my beer and complain about how much they hate oar rights when rowing because they can't feather the oars. The convertible model lets me quickly give them their favored configuration, shut them up and we all get back to fishing. Harmony and social order restored.

Comments about Convertible Oar Right:
I share gear with a couple other people and this works perfectly. The only problem is that the screw is meant to screw the setup to the oar shaft is extremely cheap. Of three oar locks put together by two different people all pre-drilled we had three screws whose heads came off. There was not much torque required for this and I have never seen any other screw do this. It left the headless screw stuck in the oar shaft with no way to get it out without drilling it out.
Good product just don't use their screw.
Comments about Convertible Oar Right:
After years of not having oar rights I now prefer them most of the time. On those occasional super windy days the new convertible oar rights are a great solution to the only problem with the original.

Q:I have Sawyer 7' utility oars with the NRS 1/2" Superton oarlocks. Will this Oar Right fit the horn opening of the 1/2" Superton oarlocks?
Thanks!Asked on 10/26/2014 by Austin from United States
1 answer
A:Austin, the Convertible Oar Right works fine with the Superston oarlocks. However, they are designed to fit oar shaft areas from 2" to 2 1/4" in diameter. If your oars are the Sawyer Standard Utility model, Item # 77276.01, you will need to shim out the oar sleeve to get to that diameter. Give us a call if we can help further, 800.635.5202.Answered on 10/27/2014 by Clyde from NRS

A:I would think so.Answered on 10/6/2012 by Anonymous
A:Yes, The convertable oar rite will work on wrapped oars. I used a pair
on some rope wrapped Sawyers and it fit just fine.
Hope this helps.Answered on 10/6/2012 by Anonymous
A:Yes, this will work!
I requested Oar Rights on our rented rafts this summer for a Grand Canyon
trip. When we got to the put in, I saw that the rental company (PRO) had
simply attached the oar rights directly over the top of the rope wraps. I
was skeptical, as I've always used oar sleeves with oar rights. but they
worked great - no problems using them throughout the 16 day trip.

Yes. I have rope wrapped Cataract oars as well, and either type of Oar
Right will work over the rope without a sleeve.

A:Yes , I have 14 foot rope wraped carbon fiber oars on my 16 foot Stealthcraft, They are fantastic, they keep you in the power position at all times,measure the outside diameter of the rope to verify the diameter I think they offered a couple of sizes.

I have an odd problem happening. A person is sending us mail, and that person has an apostrophe in her e-mail address. If the message is first routed through our Barracuda, then through the Zimbra OSS box, it never arrives, and the sender gets a 'mailbox is unavailable' NDR. If the message is routed directly to the Zimbra box (bypassing the Barracuda), then it arrives fine.
I tested this by telnet'ing to each (Barracuda, then Zimbra) and using the following message test:
ehlo domain.com
mail from:<firstname.lastname@example.com>
rcpt to:<email@example.com>
subject:Test with apostrophe 5:30
With the above test, the message sent through the Barracuda shows as having been processed by the Barracuda and sent on to the Zimbra box, but produced the NDR. The message sent directly to the Zimbra box went through without a problem.
Is there any known interop problem between Barracuda (or other spam firewalls) and Zimbra? I will say that having an apostrophe in an e-mail address is pretty stupid, but we can't control this because the sender is outside our domain.

InXile's Wasteland 2 Kickstarter managed to bring in around $2,933,147 from 61,289 backers, well over the $900,000 it originally asked for. According to InXile founder Brian Fargo, and additional $107,427 was raised from PayPal pledges – mostly from individuals outside the United States who can't use the Kickstarter system.
With all the cash promised from donors, InXile will create OS X, Windows, and Linux versions of the post-apocalyptic role-playing game, plus the company will be able to pay Chris Avellone, Obsidian's chief creative officer, to help design and write the game.
Brian Fargo announced hitting the $3 million funding mark via Twitter a few hours ago:
"We did it! 3 mil… Best month I've ever had. Thanks thanks thanks."
Wasteland 2 is expected to hit various platforms next October, according to the Kickstarter page for the project.

Research Interests
DNA and RNA play pivotal roles in the function of all living organisms. While their role is largely understood, less is known regarding the dynamic behavior of these biopolymers. Specifically, I am interested in DNA hybridization in vivo and in vitro and RNA pseudoknot folding. The goal of my research is to further develop coarse grain models for DNA and RNA that can inform us how these processes occur. This will allow us to examine their sequence/structure/function relationship. Then we will be able to examine the effect of single nucleotide polymorphism and optimize processes where DNA is used in vitro for nano-engineering applications.
Currently, I am examining the process by which complimentary ssDNA hybridizes when attached to nanospheres. I use transition path sampling and forward flux sampling together with the resources of the Center for High Throughput Computing to perform my analyses.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
A choledochal cyst is a rare congenital swelling of the hepatic or bile duct of your child's liver.
This is the tract that transports bile produced by the cells to the gallbladder and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
These cysts can be intrahepatic, meaning that they occur in the part of the duct located inside of the liver.
They can also be extrahepatic, meaning part of the bile duct that is located outside the liver.
Pioneering treatment
Boston Children's Hospital's Robotic Surgery Research and Training Program pioneered or perfected many of the minimally invasive surgical procedures in use today. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is surgery done through small incisions using miniaturized surgical tools and cameras or telescopes. MIS usually results in less pain, less scarring and a quicker recovery time for our patients.
One form of MIS used to remove choledochal cysts is called laparoscopic surgery, during which surgeons use small instruments guided by a small telescope. The instruments are manipulated by the surgeon who controls their movements, while watching them on a video screen. This form of MIS has been used widely in adults and more recently in children.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Residents from the southern California coastal community of Oceanside, including Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton and their families, range from concern to skepticism to thanks in their reactions to President Obama's proposed plan to pull troops from Afghanistan.
President Barack Obama announced his plan on Wednesday to begin withdrawing 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by year's end, followed by about 23,000 more by the end of next summer.
In Oceanside, a southern California community that caters to the adjacent and sprawling Camp Pendleton US Marine base, opinions ranged from full support in favor of the President's action to negative reactions and even skepticism.
"It's kind of the right sort of a shift, internal kind of perspective of things, trying to get us to focus on things here in the country and that's good because we kind of spread ourselves too thin globally and it's a good time for us to focus internally for a while," said Oceanside resident Alex Luebke.
Some residents, such as enlisted Marine John Smith, fully support Obama's decision but are unsure whether or not the President can keep his promises.
"I think the U.S. has no interest in leaving that region. I think the draw down is going to be a sham. They will reduce U.S. forces in the region but I think that the forces will be reimbursed by mercenary groups such as Blackwater and non-enlisted forces," said Smith. "I think the Afghan war needs to stop, I think the Iraqi occupation needs to stop, I think it's wrong. I think the Iraqi people need to choose their own destiny just as the American people did in 1776."
Obama's decision comes at a critical time as he eyes his 2012 re-election prospects and lawmakers from both parties, seeking to reduce federal spending, are anxious to curtail what has become a costly and unpopular U.S. military intervention.
Obama's challenge is to strike a balance between military leaders seeking to limit any reduction in combat forces and White House advisers pressing for a withdrawal large enough to placate his own Democratic party's anti-war wing and a growing number of Republicans.
William Kullman who is a Marine said "I don't really think that we should leave this quickly. The job's not done. It's kind of like what happened in Iraq. We were supposed to leave soon, we were supposed to leave around 2006, 2007 when we were in Iraq but we didn't because we knew the job wasn't done."
Logan Riddle, also a Marine doesn't agree, saying "The job that we have done there so far has been good and due to everything else that we are dealing with as a country at this time that we're making a smart decision. And that, the way that we will handle the draw down will be in an effective way that we won't have any negative repercussions from it at all."

Hi folks,
I'll be leaving in a couple weeks or so (!) for a tour that is not quite the standard Pacific Coast Route. I plan to deviate after the Canadian bit to get myself to Ukiah, CA, which is sort of in the middle of northern California, there to visit the Abhayagiri Buddhist monastery. Then I'd rejoin the PCR down to San Diego with stops in L.A. and San Jose where I have friends & family.
Anyone familiar with a good route on this path? Is going to Ukiah pure suicide for a n00b tourist? (The road looks pretty . . . crinkly on the map. Google Earth makes it look "not so bad" but for all I know it might be a 20% grade on the ground.) Time isn't really an issue for me, so taking it easy is the preferred method if possible.
Thanks folks--this forum is incredibly helpful & informative and I hope to get some more of that!

Teen Mom
Father Asked Strangers to Edit a Photo of His Late Newborn — These Are the Results
The loss of a newborn child is simply unimaginable, but when a grieving feather reached out for help on the internet, he received a wonderful gift in return.
The Ohio dad explained, "Since she was in the hospital her whole life, we never were able to get a photo without all her tubes. Can someone remove the tubes from this photo?"
Ask and ye shall receive. Realizing the heartbreaking nature of this tiny request, Nathan was soon overwhelmed with people coming forward to help.
In fact, so many strangers sent photos and sketches of his daughter, Nathan stayed up until 3 a.m. trying to respond and thank everyone, only to become so inundated. The photos immediately went viral, while the strangers' act of kindness made news around the world.
A grateful Nathan told Buzzfeed, "It helped knowing that others cared enough to stop whatever they were doing in their own lives to either send me a picture or just their condolences."
We don't know about you, but some days it seems like the internet is full of haters and trolls. As of today, it's refreshing to see people across the world wide web doing some good.
Kudos to these sweet samaritans for giving a bit of comfort to this family in their time of need.

Head Start: Fishy finances
In Greg Kaufmann's latest installment of "This Week in Poverty" for The Nation, he claims Congress has turned its back on rural America through the sequester. As we did last week, WORLD fact-checked the argument he makes through the pains of a Head Start provider. The disconnect between national funding reports and those on the ground raises many unanswered questions.
Head Start is a federally funded education program for low-income children too young for public school. Kaufmann helpfully profiles the Southeast Kansas Community Action Program, or SEK-CAP, a Head Start provider with a wide range of other services, including weatherizing the area's old homes to help poor families with energy costs. The 12-county service area covers 7,000 square miles in the sparsely populated, poorest part of Kansas. And due to the sequester, SEK-CAP closed its Head Start center in the town of Neodesha, population 2,500.
WORLD talked to Becky Gray, SEK-KAP's director of research, planning, and grants development (and the semi-unidentified "Gray" in Kaufmann's story). Neodesha had no Early Head Start services: It just served ages 3 to 5, not 0 to 5 as Kaufmann implied. The 17 children dropped from the program are thus much closer in age to Neodesha's other early childhood learning option: a school district program for at-risk 4-year-olds.
That program, though, is at capacity itself, Gray said. And in addition to schooling, SEK-CAP gives financial, nutritional, and literacy counseling to families in an area where one in four children lives in poverty. That, she said, can't be replaced. SEK-CAP will be able to serve 10 Neodesha children in their homes, but several of those slots were taken from another town.
She told Kaufmann the "concern is that too many parents are turning to 'the house down the street' to watch their kids." A neighbor's house could be fine, she clarified, but likely would have no early childhood training. Government-inspected and licensed child care, she argued, is the best option: "I hate to paint a really ugly picture of Southeast Kansas, but … there's a lot of environmental and economic factors that as a parent, I think it's ultimately important to have licensed child care."
The enrollment cuts could have been worse. The organization cut 11.6 percent of its enrollment in 2012 in part to raise salaries and recruit teachers to a region "experiencing urban flight." Gray said they were anticipating the sequester as well: "We knew it was coming and started steering the ship back then."
As we showed last week, though, Head Start's national budget raises serious questions about why the cuts hurt so much. The sequester's 5.27 percent budget cut balances out the budget increase of 5.1 percent in 2012. Head Start had its highest enrollment ever in 2011, with a budget almost identical to what it had post-sequester, which is still $695 million higher than the 2008 budget.
SEK-CAP, though, seems to be another example of how the national money picture hasn't panned out on the local level. While Early Head Start funding has increased for SEK-CAP, the organization's 2011-12 report indicates Head Start funding may have actually declined: Earmarked cash isn't the only source of funding, but last year's $4 million is the lowest in SEK-CAP's seven years of reports.
"I think that disconnect might be where the issue lies because—on paper and from a national perspective—it would be very easy to spin a story and say that cuts aren't really that bad," Gray said. "From my seat at a rural non-profit, the sequester means jobs, programs, and people are negatively impacted—even cut completely."
Congress may not have turned its back on rural America—the sequester was an indiscriminate, across-the-board cut—but we do see a fishy fiscal disconnect between national and local levels. Kaufmann wrote a moving story on life on the front lines of the sequester, but Head Start's national budget reports don't paint such a dire story. The billion-dollar question: Why?

We're getting ready for our summer run of the theater show "Fup Duck", an original puppet show by local production troupe "Glass Half Full", for which we will provide the live musical accompaniment. The show will run Aug 2012
January 1, 2012
Our New record is done!!!
January 1, 2011
We are hard at work recording a new album engineered by Marty Lester @ Tequila Mockingbird Studio in Austin. A spring release is hopeful! We're scouring the depths of our brains for the perfect album title, if you've got an idea, let us know! We'll be releasing the album online, on CD, and finally.....VINYL!!!!!
Our long-awaited Christmas video came to fruition last year, see it HERE
In July 2010, we finished recording our version of Sara Hickman's "Kayaking" for her forthcoming release.
WGS has always been vaudevillian-based, so it only makes sense that we have worked, and continue to work, with various theatrical groups and organizations.
In 2010, WGS collaborated with Troubled Puppet Theatre, producing a play, "Fup Duck". The production made the Austin Chronicle's list of "Top 10 Arts-Related, Ah, Things From the Past 12 Months". Here is the review.
Off-Broadway, in NYC, we recently collaborated with "The Handsome Little Devils", a vaudevillian-based theatre troupe, recording a song for a dance number in their ongoing 2011 smash production "Squirm Burpee". ABC's World News Now reviews it here.
We have collaborated with the Ariel Dance Theatre for shows that combine our spirit of performance with theirs, creating what can only be described as "WOW!"
WGS has also worked in collaboration with the Austin Lyric Opera and their Armstrong School of Music, being named "Artists in Residence."
In 2006, WGS produced original scores for Buster Keaton's "Cops" and "Sherlock Jr."
Since 2004, WGS has hosted an annual "Hallowe'en Ball" [photos | preview] at various locations around the Austin area. The event at this point is nothing short of notorious! Stay tuned for this year's info!
WGS is very "Seasonal-minded," so songs are constantly being written for different holidays, events, etc. In fact last year, as part of the "Songs for the Season" television broadcast, featuring local bands playing Christmas songs, WGS was contracted to be a part of the occasion. In true form, an original song was written by the group, and a video shoot ensued. WGS performed their original composition, "Santa's Sack", and patiently awaited to see their performance on the night of the broadcast. The show ended with someone doing "Jingle Bell Rock", yet no WGS. When the station was contacted, so that at least a video could be obtained by the band for archiving purposes, they said it had been taped over. What a shame. WGS will never understand why the video was never aired, but finally an mp3 of "Santa's Sack" is available for download here.
At long last, in 2010 Eric Powers and WGS teamed up and the video made its way across the universe here.
In a rather bold move, Austin Mayor Will Wynn has proclaimed November 16 to be "White Ghost Shivers Day", everywhere, and forever. Check out the DVD in the store for behind the scenes footage of WGS preparing to play at Austin City Hall just before being knighted.
WGS embarked on its first European Tour in the spring of '08, and performed in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands over the course of 3 weeks.
This is what happens in Berlin when you hang out with a couple of Irishmen. Check out the photo section for more chronicles. It's quite interesting to wake up in a different country every morning......
Over New Years Eve, '09/'10, the band returned to Germany and played for a week, highlighted by opening for "Kitty,Daisy,Lewis"(they're huge in EU, apparently) at Admiralspalast, the most beautiful theatre Berlin has to offer.
Every now again WGS puts on a Rock Show, when all your favorite WGS songs are transformed into Metal, Punk Rock, and Arena Rock anthems. Acoustic instruments become electric guitars, and banjos are transformed into drum kits. The "Killing Tradition" EP was released in '07, documenting the free-for-all. Here is an mp3 for the somewhat obscure WGS original, "On Dreams."

May 24, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) _ Rockdale County sheriff's deputies arrested a 20-year-old man after they caught him allegedly selling chocolate bunnies and ducks that contained hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Sergeant Jodi Shupe said Saturday that deputies were tipped off that Matthew Jackson was selling LSD along with candy containing psilocybin mushrooms in Newton and Rockdale Counties.
Authorities say deputies caught the suspect after an officer saw
Jackson selling a sheet of LSD and a chocolate duck containing the
mushrooms for $650.
Shupe said officers found 74 more of the chocolate psilocybin candy ducks and bunnies in a cooler bag in Jackson's truck, along with $1,200 in cash in his pants pockets.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) may have upgraded the class XI and XII syllabus for the academic year 2012-13, but junior college teachers are worried whether students will be able to cope with the change, especially with many of them faring poorly in the semester exams.
The syllabus for physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology was upgraded according to the core syllabus prepared by the Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE). The new syllabus, largely based on the CBSE curriculum, is expected to prepare junior college students for competitive examinations like JEE and AIEEE.
Bhuvaneshwari R, senior chemistry teacher at South Indian Welfare Societys College at Wadala said, The performance of students has dropped in the semester exam. Students who had earlier got distinction have now scored 50 to 60 per cent. They are expected to study from two books for one paper. The portion is new and quite different from what the state board follows. Its a grade higher. At times, even CBSE students face problems coping with it.
I have been requesting parents to help students cope with this situation instead of pressuring them to get high scores, Bhuvaneshwari added.
The upgraded syllabus has emphasised the usage of international system units, symbols, nomenclature of physical quantities and formulations, which often feature in competitive examinations. According to board officials, topics that will enhance the problem-solving abilities of students have been incorporated in the syllabus.
Afroz Shattari, vice-principal of Royal college at Mira Road said, The chemistry and biology syllabus has become vast. Its impossible to finish it in the given academic time. While maths and physics syllabi remain almost similar, they have added new chapters and concepts in the chemistry and biology syllabi. We are gearing up for the change, but we are worried for the students.
Teachers and students are worried that the change may cost them a seat in a college of their choice. If the pass percentage of students falls in HSC exams, it will affect engineering admissions; most of the students will have to opt for BSc. This in turn will increase the stress on students. The board should have carried out the upgrade phase-wise. I dont know about the next batch, but the current batch will suffer if the board does not take any corrective measures now, said another teacher.
Ruzbea Patel (17), an HSC student, said, I want to opt for medical. I will have to score well in my HSC examination. But with this syllabus, Im not sure if this will be possible.
Teachers have also alleged that training workshops for the new syllabus were not systematic. The state board has not distributed model question papers based on the changed syllabus yet, the claim.
State board officials say the change in syllabus will help students when they appear for national-level competitive examinations. This upgraded syllabus will iron out many hurdles for students appearing for all-India level competitive examinations. There might be some problems in the beginning, but standardisation is important to avoid problems in future. At the same time, we are still reviewing the books, said Sarjerao Jadhav, chairman of MSBSHSE.
New Syllabus
