About Marcelo_11
New - Looking for Support
Marcelo_11 replied to Blair's topic in General BoardYour not alone everyone on here truly understand how your feeling. I know this because I Am going through the exact same feelings and emotions your feeling right now. I can relate to the feeling of having family and friends be there for you, but not really be there for you. there are so few of us that suffer from (the beast) cluster headaches it's hard to find someone that can truly relate to you. Well you hit the jackpot here everyone here is awesome and helpful and the advice and words they have to offer carry some weight to them because they are just like you. I find that for me caffeine helps stop the pain and ramp up in about 2-5 minutes, accompany that with a cold press ice pack and it makes the pain a lot more tolerable. Hang in there you can do it just take it one day at a time.
I will definitely take a look, thank you I appreciate it!
Thank you so much I appreciate the d3 recommendation. I've been through 2 numerologists and they refuse to give me O2. All I have to fight the beast is Verapamil (2x) A day, lisinopril , and Sumatriptan 100mg. I am currently looking for a nuero that specializes in headaches maybe I'll have better luck getting O2 or triptan shots. I had to stop taking sumatriptan so much because my body was giving symptoms of a heart attack, but sumatriptan is a double edge sword. The 2 hours of sleep a day is really killing me , I work nights so sleep during the day is a challenge as is, but adding the headaches is just the cherry on top. I have heard that CBD oil and other "drugs" can help with both the pain and ramp up but I don't have that option my job has me drug tested under federal so that option is a no for me.Thank you For the reassurance I feel less embarrassed about posting on the forums now!
Thank you! I've found a lot of useful information already!
New here and super happy to be here
Marcelo_11 posted a topic in General BoardHello guys I just wanted to say that I'm so very happy to have found this website! Its nice to know that in this very small community of us who share this pain, there is a place for us to chat and help each other. I have been walking hand and hand with the beast for 8 years now, with my first cycle (at age 17) lasting a little over a year. I am 25 years old and am currently in my 3rd cycle and I'm not sure how to say it but this time almost broke me.. the sleeping 2 hours a day with the headaches switching from the right to the left side continuously have if 8 plus headaches a day, the nausea, and the fluctuation of aggression and depression you could say. I don't mean to bore you all with my post just thought I'd share a bit about myself being as I'm new to the forum. Luckily i found out about cluster busters and I feel relieved to know I'm not alone because no matter how much friends and family try to understand, they will never understand how much it truly hurts us. Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

Rebellion, it's inevitable -- whether as simple as hiding a cigarette habit from parents at 15 or as monumental as overthrowing a government in the Middle East.
But when Bruno "Sergent" Garcia joined a revolution, the multinational musician wasn't entirely sure why. "My view of the world is much clearer now," Garcia tells Crossfade, chuckling. "When I was younger, maybe I just acted out for a sense of rebellion. But after traveling all around the world and seeing how different people live, my ideas are [more evolved]."

-Jarabe de Palo's A Piano y Voz at Grand Central Miami: A 10-Photo Recap
As lead vocalist of French alt outfit Ludwig Von 88, Garcia rallied for all things "Bière et Punk" in the late 1980s. But since the late '90s, under the Sergent Garcia alias, he has championed a global social revolution using a unique blend of Afro-Latin rhythms, reggae, and dancehall that he calls "Salsamuffin."
Recorded in France, Spain, Colombia, and Cuba, Sergent Garcia's latest album, Una y Otra Vez [Time and Time Again], was released in March 2011. And like its predecessors, the record echoes the musician's commitment to a better planet.
"The world is in a global crisis," Garcia says. "There's tension, too much conflict, and too little dialogue. I think that we're at a time when we, as a global society, have to ask ourselves where we want to go."
Hence "Acho Bai Bai," a track off Una y Otra Vez that calls for a shift in the geopolitical landscape and a major reevaluation of societal priorities. "I wrote this song for two reasons," Garcia says. "I was feeling that the world needed change. Not only political change but also a change of ideas."

He adds, "The planet has faced more destruction over the past 100 years than it had in 250,000 years. We have to think about what we're leaving future generations -- contaminated rivers, contaminated oceans, contaminated air. If we continue down that path, we're going to hit a brick wall. We're all going to die."
However, Garcia is optimistic. "The real revolution is inside everyone," he says. "Music just happens to be a part of the revolution. The revolution has to happen on the interior before it can happen on the exterior."
Sergent Garcia. Saturday, May 4. PAX, 337 SW Eighth St., Miami. The show starts at 11 p.m., and tickets cost $20 to $30 plus fees via ticketfly.com. Ages 21 and up. Call 305-640-5847, or visit paxmiami.com.

The Institute of Buddhist Dialectics was founded in 1973 on the 37th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama under the directorship of Geshe Lobsang Gyatso. Initially it hosted a humble 27 students with very few international students. This course afforded monks and lay students a recognized Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree so that they may be qualified to study further or even introduce themselves into the job market. The programme integrated the continuation of an important tradition into a pragmatic and systematic academic opportunity.
At that time the only course of study offered was a seven- year programme on the Prajna Paramita. The exemplary results and enthusiasm of students was extremely commendable and His Holiness suggested that the students who did well would benefit from continuing to study Madhyamika and Pramana from the major Buddhist study program. Since then the programme has drawn more and more students from monastic, lay and international backgrounds. Currently there are 120 students, of which 20 are foreign students.
The courses offered at IBD in chronological order are as follows- 1. A seven-year course in Prajna Paramita; 2. A three-year course in Madhyamika Buddhist Philosophy; 3. A four year course called Rime Lopon – which is an Acharya programme and includes Vinaya, Abhidharma and important core texts of three lineages: Sakya Nyima, Kagyu; A two-year course on Tantric studies and practices: Lama Tsongkhapa's 'Stages of the path' and Guhyasamaja Tantra. If followed to its completion, the programme provides a comprehensive and extensive understanding of the Sutras and of Tantra.
The students also study English, advanced Tibetan language, history and literature. Scholars are invited from time to time to give talks on modern subjects like science to offer a holistic approach in understanding phenomena and philosophy. The program awards Bachelors degrees, Masters Degrees, Masters of Philosophy (M.Phil) and finally on completion of all 16 years of study, students are awarded a Geshe degree, which can be likened to a PhD degree.
The institute is proud to have produced expert scholars, researchers, administrators, and teachers. A great majority of His Holiness' translators are alumni of IBD. The English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Spanish translators are all products of the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics. Geshe Lhakdor, director of Tibetan National Library, Geshe Dorje Damdrul, director of Tibet House, New Delhi and Cabinet Secretary of Central Tibetan Administration, Ven Karma Gelek are all ex-students as well. The institute has made very significant contributions in Tibetan education and administration. Likewise, several international alumni are now authors, teachers and expert scholars in the west like George Dreyfus, Allen Wallace, Garrett Spartham and Geoffrey Hopkins.
Upon the suggestion of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, IBD has made it a decisive priority to give women the same opportunities in pursuing philosophy as is given to men. Geshe Kelsang Wangmo is the first woman ever to receive the Geshe degree, which was awarded to her by IBD. Currently she teaches at the dialectic school and also teaches students of Emory University. She did not speak a word of Tibetan when she arrived and IBD and after spending 17 years studying and receiving a prestigious title, she serves as a beacon of encouragement to the sisterhood of female aspirants. This marks a great achievement and helps inspire women in their studies as the Tibetan society was not able to provide the same opportunities for women in the past.
Under His Holiness' advice, the institute agrees that the study of Buddhism should not be confined to monks and nuns, to which end there is a weekend programme for roughly 200-300 lay people. The study of logic and philosophy also should be shared and learned by the general public starting from budding students in school. Therefore IBD sends some of its most learned members to the Tibetan Children's Village school every year in an effort to inculcate a sense of ethics and curiosity about philosophy from an early age.
The Emory-IBD affiliation began in 2001 and gave the institute international recognition. A semester long five-month exchange is held every year. Students are first sent to the Saraha Campus (a sister school closely affiliated with IBD), and are then brought up to the McLeod Ganj campus. The students stay with Tibetan families making for a great experience by immersing them completely in Tibetan culture. The students are given a broader window outside of academics through this unique accommodation, by learning how Tibetanscook, pray, interact with their families, allowing them to observe Tibetan children and senior citizens alike and participating in the chores and festivals. This experience gives the students rare insight into Tibetan culture. At IBD they study language, culture and history. In addition to this exchange, another programme was started five years ago, which is a summer programme for Emory students. Students get to interact with monks and nuns who are studying science in the Saraha campus. Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi who is an alumni of IBD is now a senior lecturer at Emory University and the director of this programme.
Another important part of this programme takes its form in debate in the Buddhist study tradition. The practice of debate is guided by the study of logic which is called 'Riglam' in Tibetan. Rig means reasoning and lam means path, together meaning the path of reasoning. The Buddha said we should not be satisfied with just his teachings but should venture to investigate them, "like a goldsmith investigating the fineness of his substance by cutting, melting and analyzing the gold" explains Venerable Geshe Damdul, director of IBD. Through investigation we can begin to understand the reality of life, phenomena, environment, samsara and nirvana.
Debating or the use of logic, which is an important part of the curriculum, plays a very crucial role in deepening the understanding of whatever is taught in class. Wisdom arising from listening is not acquired from merely hearing. First we must hear, then study, investigate, reflect and analyze. Logic is important to sharpen wisdom at the intellectual level. Initially students learn to differentiate basic concepts like colour and shape. Slowly this skill is honed to delve into deeper levels of study based on texts, like the understanding of impermanence and the cultivation of mind of the Bodhisattva.

Downtown's India Cafe celebrates 20 years in Iowa City
Paramjeet Singh said that when he moved from India to California as a 19-year-old searching for a better future, he couldn't have imagined the success he would see today.
Singh, 45, is the owner of India Cafe in Iowa City and Fairfield, which are celebrating their 20th anniversaries this year.
"I can't believe in 20 years, I was a so established man and God was a blessing to me all those 20 years," he said. "I did not have anything bad happen. I did not do anything wrong in my life."
Finding a better future
Singh said he is from Panjab, in northern India, but studied in Bahar. His family sold its trucking business and moved back to Panjab in 1984, after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated.
Five years later, Singh moved to California to work as a cook in his cousin's restaurant.
"I decided I want to be my own boss, so I can have a better future," he said. "I can't do anything in California. It's so expensive, and I had that opportunity, so I just came to Fairfield."
Singh learned about Fairfield from a friend in Des Moines. He opened the first India Cafe location in 1994, the only Indian restaurant in town.
"Iowa is really very cooperative with ethnic people," he said. "They just want to try different food. They loved it. They're so pleased I came."
In July of the same year, he bought a house and opened a location in Iowa City. In 1996, he opened one in Des Moines, another in Peoria, Ill., in 1999, and operated an American family restaurant in Fairfield for two years.
"I was so excited because you never dream that you can (get) success so fast," he said. "It was many blessings."
Singh said he sold his other businesses to focus on supporting his wife, Jas, 38, his daughters, 15-year-old Sukh and 13-year-old Aman, and sons Parn, 9, and Harry, 6.
Singh said he still works 14-hour days, six days a week but balances it out with trips such as an upcoming three-week vacation in Canada.
"My future is stay as is and also take care of the children to have a well education for them," he said. "That was my total goal for my restaurant and my life. I just want them to (have) success on my behalf."
Sukh said she hopes to study at the University of Iowa and take over the family restaurant someday.
"I would love to be like him someday," she said.
A taste of home
India Cafe serves Northern Indian fare, which Singh said is the region of cuisine that most diners think of when they think of Indian food.
Singh said growing up, he ate mostly vegetarian with his family, including chapati, a type of unleavened flatbread; dal makhani, a Punjabi staple of brown lentils cooked with onions and spices; and curry pakora, dumplings soaked in yogurt-curry sauce.
"This is a totally favorite dish," he said. "Bill Clinton went to India and this is his favorite dish, curry pakora."
Singh said Northern Indian food is known for using rice, flatbreads, loads of spices, onions, garlic and dairy, while those in the south cook more with dals, vegetables, and sugars.
The most challenging aspect of owning Indian restaurants in Iowa is finding cooks who know Indian food, Singh said.
"There's not an Indian community in Iowa, so cook replacement is very hard," he said. "That's the reason I sold my other two restaurants, because you can find employees to work in the front, but still those employees don't know about Indian food."
Singh said he offers his 12 employees in both locations a competitive package including good benefits and room and board. Most employees stay for 10 or more years, he said.
April Dirks-Bihun and her brother, Eric Dirks, said they have met for lunch at India Cafe once a week since 1997. Dirks-Bihun said they even rearrange their work schedules to fit it in.
"The food is awesome, and the people are great," she said. "It's like an extended family experience, where we are connected to the people who work here."
Bihun said he looks "forward to the food every week."
"The spinach dish they serve on Wednesday is really good. The tandoori chicken is always excellent here," he said. "The food at Masala and Exotic India and other Indian restaurants around here is all very good, but here I would say has the most consistently good food on the menu."
Mike Richey of Iowa City said he is "no connoisseur," but he comes to the Wednesday and Friday lunch buffets for an inexpensive, delicious meal.
"The fact that I'm ignorant enough that I don't know the names of any of the dishes, and I'm tight enough that I know that any one of these dishes would be the price of the entire buffet, so I come to the buffet," he said.
Tom Yates of Iowa City said he loves India Cafe for its vegetarian options.
"Any restaurant that lasts 20 years in downtown Iowa City deserves to give themselves a pat on the back, they really do," he said. "This is a tough restaurant town."

It was a blessing to have my women's group cancelled due to the weather last Tuesday, which meant I could get three consecutive days of writing done, and not feel quite so frustrated and 'I-wanna-quit-my-job' as I often have of late.
On Friday Shelley and I went out for lunch at a new place: Amanda's Deli. It's on the first floor of 1st Bank, and it is gorgeous down there with all the walls clad in marble. The food (veggie burritos loaded with everything) was great too! I expect we'll be back.
Finally finished my illustration for 'Encounters' on Sunday. It will be nice to step aside from story illustrations for a little bit with my next project or two.
Went to church on Saturday which meant I could get two good writing sessions done with 'Last Orphan' on Sunday. Up to 7,700 and I hope somewhere around the halfway mark...

Joke Goes Way Over Anchor's Head in April's Funniest News Bloopers
The News Be Funny's monthly dose of the best news bloopers has arrived. The headliner this month has to be the broadcaster who had a children's joke fly far, far over his head on live TV.
It went like this.
Him: You know what April showers bring?
Her: May flowers. What do Mayflowers bring, though?
Him: I don't know.
Her: Pilgrims.
This should be the end of the transcript. Polite chuckle. Move to the next segment. Instead...
Him: Oh.
Her: You never told that joke?
Him: What's the joke?
Everyone: [Italian chef kissing fingers]
Also in this month's round-up are the daydreaming anchor and the Emmanuel Macron supporter who was so happy with the French election results that he danced the night away by his lonesome.
There is one perplexing blooper, however. Two anchors were surprised by a ringing telephone during a broadcast. It wasn't a cell phone. It appears to be a landline positioned right next to the anchors' desk, one of which doesn't look like he had any idea there was a phone there at all. Who put a phone next to the anchors that could ring on-air?
Watch all of April's glorious bloopers in the video above.

EnWave Corp (CVE:ENW) is developing commercial applications for its Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology in the cannabis, food and pharmaceutical industries.
The Vancouver-based advanced tech company offers industrial-scale dehydration technology, and also provides machinery for drying bulk biological materials and pharmaceuticals in vials.
Radiant Energy Dehydration is a rapid, low temperature drying method that maintains the product's colour, flavour, and nutrients during the drying process. The company says it is faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave licensed the original REV technology from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1996, developing it to commercial scale in 2008.
The idea behind REV is pairing of microwave energy under a vacuum to quickly dehydrate materials. EnWave's patented vacuum-microwave technology allows for uniform drying with flexible moisture content, a benefit as compared to freeze-drying or air-drying.
Cannabis an exciting avenue
In the cannabis world, time is money and EnWave's technology can reduce the time required to dry cannabis from between five and seven days to less than an hour. The company says its low temperature drying retains cannabinoids and terpenes and its low-pressure drying prevents oxidation.
The small machine footprint can help reduce the need for oversized drying rooms, with the drying time at an estimated 40 minutes from fresh to dry. The low temperature drying retains cannabinoids and terpenes, the low-pressure drying prevents oxidation, and can deliver "excellent" aroma and appearance, according to the firm.
Here's an example for one of EnWave's machines: its 120 kW quantaREV® system can dry about 840 kg (1850 lbs) of wet cannabis flower in a eight hours, or one shift, producing about 190 kg (420 lbs) of dry flower per shift. Multiple that over a year? Operating 16 housr a day, five days a week, a single machine can dry around 420,000 kg (925,000 lbs) of wet cannabis, which would yield about 95,000 kg (209,000 lbs) of dry cannabis per year.
Multiple commercial platforms
EnWave has multiple commercial platforms, including nutraREV, which is used in the food industry to dry food products quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour; powderREV, used for dehydrating food cultures, probiotics and biochemicals, such as enzymes, below the freezing point. The company's quantaREV is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.
How it is doing
EnWave has turned it on in 2019 so far, with a host of deals across global markets and industries.
At the end of May, the firm announced Aurora Cannabis Inc (TSE:ACB) (NYSE:ACB) has exercised an option that will see Aurora use EnWave's proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV) dehydration technology for drying cannabis in South America, aside from Peru. The firms inked an exclusive, royalty-bearing commercial licence agreement with sub-licensing rights.
This is not the first deal EnWave has done with Aurora. Another was one that granted Aurora non-exclusive rights to use EnWave's technology for processing cannabis in Canada. Aurora purchased three machines for installation in Canada. It also inked a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement with Aurora, with the rights to grant sub-licenses, for processing cannabis in the European Union (excluding Portugal) and partnered with Aurora to develop new innovations and intellectual property related to REV and its applications in the cannabis sector by signing an intellectual property agreement and starting a number of new joint development projects.
The company also inked a number of deals with other cannabis companies, including a deal with The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd (CSE:TGOD) (OTCMKTS:TGODF) granting the firm non-exclusive rights to use EnWave's technology for processing legalized cannabis in Canada. TGOD purchased four large-scale REV machines for installation in Canada.
The firm recently shipped its first machine to Tilray Inc (NASDAQ:TLRY) and began the installation and commissioning processes on the first large-scale continuous cannabis processing line.
EnWave also signed an agreement with major Japanese snack company Calbee Inc (TYO:2229) and received a purchase order for a 10kW machine. According to the company, Calbee plans to "conduct intense product development in 2019 and to launch several new products through market testing efforts in 2020."
Other deals included one with Fresh Business Consulting SL, granting Fresh Business exclusive rights to produce a variety of premium food products in Peru.
EnWave also worked on developing nutrient rich field rations with the US Army, announcing a purchase of a second small-scale REV machine by the army as part of the ongoing project. The firm is collaborating with the army and its supply network, as part of a strategy to commercialize REV for high-quality field rations "with superior taste and nutrients."
2Q financials look strong
EnWave posted record revenue of C$8.8 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2019, a boost of C$4.6 million, compared to the same period a year ago.
The firm noted that revenue growth was driven by a boost in sales and and distribution of the company's Moon Cheese product as well as an increase in REV equipment sales to the cannabis sector.
In the second quarter, EnWave more than doubled its gross profit, at C$3.1 million, compared to C$1.3 million in the second quarter a year ago.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 36% for the second quarter, compared to 31% for teh second quarter last year.
The firm reported a net loss of C$224,000 in the quarter, narrowing it from the C$519,000 it reported in the same period a year ago.
EnWave reported a healthy cash position of C$12.2 million at the end of the quarter, with the Aurora Cannabis deal bringing in additional gross proceeds of C$10.1 million.
"The company is positioned with a debt-free balance sheet and cash in excess of $20 million paired with a positive cash flow profile," noted the firm in a release.

Whoopi Goldberg, Melissa Etheridge and 8 More Celebrity Ganjapreneurs
With California voting on the legalization of recreational cannabis in November, you can bet these stars will be cashing in on the kush.
Colorado did it. Washington did it. And California could be the next state to legalize recreational marijuana.
It was announced yesterday that come this November, Californians will vote on whether or not weed should be legal for recreational use, rather than just medical purposes. (Medical marijuana users are required to carry an official license.)
Other states voting on whether to legalize the drug in 2016 include Nevada, Arizona, Massachusetts and Maine. Should the vote pass, these states would join Colorado and Washington, as well as Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia as territories where users can feel free to light up at any time — granted they are over the age of 21 and doing so in a private rather than public space.
For Hollywood, legalization could be beneficial in more ways than one. Celebrities have already carved out a niche in the weed market, selling their own special branded strains. Here, 10 stars (or as Melissa Etheridge calls them, ganjapreneurs) who could cash in on cannabis legalization.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg partnered with "canna-businesswoman" Maya Elisabeth to launch Maya & Whoopi, a medical marijuana company which offers edibles, tinctures, topical rubs and a THC-infused bath soak marketed towards women with menstrual cramps. Goldberg told Vanity Fair that she wanted to create a product that provides relief and comfort but is also discreet and something women can use before heading off to work.
Melissa Etheridge
Grammy winner Melissa Etheridge launched a private reserve wine tincture in partnership with Santa Cruz-based medicinal marijuana dispensary Greenway Compassionate Relief in 2014. The cannabis-infused wine is available to California residents with a valid medical marijuana license. The crooner noted that she took an interest in the medical marijuana field after she used it while undergoing cancer treatments in 2004.
Snoop Dogg
The godfather of ganja, Snoop Dogg, launched Leafs by Snoop in Colorado in the fall of 2015. The brand includes eight strains of marijuana flowers, which are sold in pre-packaged quantities as well as concentrates and edibles.
Wiz Khalifa
Given Wiz Khalifa's vocal appreciation of good kush, it was only a matter of time before the rapper launched his own brand. On stoner holiday 4/20 this past year, Khalifa released his own line, which includes a curated selection of marijuana flowers and concentrates, at RiverRock pot shops in Colorado.
Willie Nelson
Legendary country musician Willie Nelson launched Willie's Reserve in 2015. Grown and sold in Colorado and Washington, Willie's Reserve includes three strains available as marijuana flowers, ready rolls, vape cartridges and disposable vape pens.
Bob Marley
Marley Natural markets itself as "the official Bob Marley cannabis brand," with four strains offered as marijuana flowers and cannabis oils. Marley Natural also sells body lotions and salves, and smoking accessories made of black walnut and hand-blown glass.
Kevin Smith
To promote his 2014 movie Tusk, which stars Justin Long as a man turning into a Walrus, filmmaker Kevin Smith partnered with L.A.-based dispensary Bud & Roses to develop two strains inspired by the film: Mr. Tusk and White Walrus.
Tommy Chong
Lifelong stoner Tommy Chong's long overdue cannabis line, Chong's Choice launched in 2016. The 78-year-old, who is branded on his website as "America's Sweetheart of Cannabis," stocks his bud at dispensaries in Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Alaska, as well as in medical marijuana clinics in California, Arizona and Montana. In addition to flowers, pre-rolls, oils and THC strips, Chong's Choice has an assortment of merchandise for sale, including a hat reading "Get America Stoned Again."
Ghostface Killah
Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ghostface Killah is the mastermind behind Wu Goo, a line of concentrated hash oil cartridges available exclusively at dispensaries in California. The rapper partnered with the vape pen maker Dr. Zodiak's Dynamite Stix to develop Wu Goo, and has even starred in an infomercial for the product.

Coronation Street: Michelle in danger as the Bistro is firebombed! Kym Marsh interview
"Things are going to get a lot worse for Michelle," reveals the Corrie star
Michelle and Robert face fresh tension in their relationship on next week's Coronation Street thanks an attack on the Bistro that leaves them shaken. Upcoming scenes see someone daub RIP in spray paint on the wall, but worse is to come when Michelle catches someone hurling a Molotov cocktail at the door!
After Robert is then mugged, Michelle starts to wonder whether the attack and the vandalism are linked, little knowing that threats have of course been made by Robert's old associate Rich, who used to supply the Bistro owner with cocaine. Could he be behind it all?
Couple all this with Chesney seeking compensation following his recent stabbing and you can see why Michelle and Robert are feeling the pressure. So will they make it through these latest crises? Here's Kym Marsh with her take on events:
So, how has Michelle been feeling since Robert's admission about his past?
She was totally taken by surprise as he is the most dependable, straight-talking man she's ever met. But because he did the right thing and told the police about Rich, she's accepted that it was his past and that it's nothing to do with the man he is now.
Has it changed her feelings for him?
Initially, she was furious that he'd brought this trouble to their door, but she loves him and she's prepared to accept that he has a past, as does she. For her, the fact that he told her is important after Steve lied to her.
How concerned is she about Chesney's injuries?
She's worried about him and both she and Robert are worried about how an attack like that will affect business. But for Michelle it's more of a genuine concern for Chesney.
Why does she donate him the cash?
She overhears Sinead asking Aidan for an advance on her wages as Chesney is still off work, so she decides to go round to see him with a card and puts £200 inside the card.
Does she expect it to cause more problems than it solves?
She never for a moment thought that a gesture like that would cause them problems. She was just trying to be kind, so when Adam says that the money is an admission of guilt and will help Chesney's personal injury claim, she's devastated and Robert is furious with her.
What does she make of the 'RIP' attack?
She's terrified – Robert has disappeared, so she's left to try and clean it off herself. Robert returns having been mugged in town and then someone throws a homemade firebomb at the bistro. They both start to think that Rich is definitely behind all the problems they've been having.
How afraid is she of Rich's repercussions?
She knows that he's a very dangerous man who knows some very dangerous people, so yes she is terrified.
How is Robert dealing with everything that's going on? Can he cope?
Robert is really struggling to cope with the fact that he's brought all of these problems to their door. He hates that his past has caught up with him as he had put all that behind him and he can't cope with the fact that he's put Michelle at risk after everything she's been through.
Is Michelle tempted just to leave him? If not, why not?
No, that's the last thing on her mind. She's determined that they'll deal with this together. She loves him and he was there for her when she needed him most, so she's not going to give up on him when he needs her.
How is she dealing with her split from Steve at this point?
She's over Steve now – she still can't forgive him for what he did and she just wants to move forward. That's probably another reason why she isn't going to give up on her and Robert.
Is Robert the right man for Michelle? If so, why?
Before we found out about his shady past, I'd have had said that he's exactly what she needs as he's dependable and wants to take care of her. But looking at it from the outside, is he just going to cause her more heartache and grief?
What advice would you give her?
Knowing what I do about Robert, I would tell her to be very careful. But you can also see that she does care about him and he has helped her through a terrible time. Some men would have run a mile, but he was a true gentleman and there aren't many of those in Weatherfield!
There's not been much respite for Michelle of late – what do you make of her lot at the moment?
She's really been through the mill, which is great to play as an actress. But she deserves a break doesn't she! She is a tough cookie and she always comes out the other end, but it would be nice to see her having a slightly easier time of it.
Are you enjoying Michelle and Robert's partnership?
Yes, very much and this new storyline has meant that they've not just settled down and become comfortable.
What's the best thing about working with Tristan Gemmill?
I've been very lucky with all the men I have worked with and Tristan is no exception – we get on really well and have a great laugh.
Are you still missing Simon Gregson?
Well I do still get to see him most days and he still winds me up and we have a laugh. But I think the ship has sailed for Michelle and Steve for the time being
Will life be looking up for Michelle any time soon?
I think things are going to get a lot worse for Michelle – we've filmed some pretty dramatic stuff in the past few weeks so watch this space.

SEBASTIAN – A man who brought a snook back to life after being caught fishing in closed season was still arrested anyway.
Fernando Pantoja, 37, was spotted by an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission as he was using a castnet in the Indian River off the shoreline of Little Hollywood on Riverview Drive.
The officer asked Pantoja to stop fishing and to return near the shoreline to have his cooler and net inspected.
Instead, Pantoja started throwing fish with both hands out of his cooler.
"I ran to the defendant location and told him to stop throwing the fish as he continued to discard them," the officer said.
The officer observed at least ten fish on the bottom of the river. But there was one very large Snook floating on the top of the water, sideways.
Pantoja, who told the officer he works as a fisherman, knew that if he was caught with the Snook, he could be arrested. So, he started to bump it so that it would come back to life.
"I told him to stop and put it in the cooler. He did not, instead bumping it allowing it to come to," according to the report.
While the large Snook woke up and swam away, he gave the officer an undersized Black Drum.
"Defendant took all fish by castnet which is illegal for Snook as well as Snook season being closed," the report said.
Pantoja was arrested and transported to the Indian River County Jail where he was charged with not allowing an inspection by an officer of the State as well as other pending charges.
DISCLAIMER: Arrests and mugshots were made public by complaint affidavits, arrest affidavits, and police reports. All persons arrested are innocent until proven guilty.

I agree with everything you say, Daniel Redmond
Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad or "Inordinate Stress" at Ft. Hood?
Submitted by Svet (United States), Nov 15, 2009 at 01:06
And more. ... You said:
"...Let's start a movement to ban Islam from our shores, the sooner the better!"...
What a wonderful idea, but how can we reach that if:
1. There are a whole bunch of lawyers parasites, square minded, leftist agents and highly corrupted, financed by "sours" of the market that in a heartbeat would take the case of the "opressed" and squeeze regular people like us to the homeless stage if not worst.
2. Muslims lie all the time- that's their strategy. That's the way they will keep on exterminating others bit by bit until no voice will be left on the face of the Earth against them. How can we defend ourselves against this cancer, without having a bastard drinking out of out blood vessels in the mean time?
3. And as for other religions, I would prefer no religion barriers, only a belief in one G-d with the 10 commandments. I"M more than fed up of Jewish Religious guys, parasites and crooks.

Twice a month, we'll be bringing you a new sketch, and showing you a few takes on the sketch by our designers. Today, we have our second sketch for June, courtesy of Becky Fleck. We are thrilled that Becky has agreed to design exclusive sketches, just for Bella!
"Clowning Around", by Becky Williams.
This was a great sketch! I ended up rotating it 90 degrees and used one large picture instead of two small ones. I also added stripes using the each of the Designer Tapes behind the picture in place of the paper and wrapped my title around two sides of the picture instead of just one.
Baby Boy: On the Go, Miniatures; Sunshine & Happiness: Popsicle Kisses, Alpha+Bits; We're Expecting: Miniatures; Designer Tapes: Teal Stripes, Yellow Chevron, Red Dot, Pink Flowers, Blue Gingham, Jailbird, Pickle Juice Dot, Pink Stripe; High Five Alphabets: Pink/Red, Green
"My Boys", by Brook Stewart.
For this layout, I pretty much stuck to the general placement of the papers in the sketch, but I tweaked it a bit by re-arranging the title and embellishments. My embellishments for this layout were mostly pulled from the border paper and the sticker sheets. It's simple, but I love that it shows off 2 of my favorite guys!
Mr. Boy: Dinomite, Connect the Dots, Traffic Jam, Borders N' Blocks, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers
"Watermelon", by Nancy Damiano.
I love all of the layers in this sketch. It was the perfect blueprint for using many different patterned papers. I added some chipboard and words horizontally to separate the photos, but kept the nice long journaling strip. I like how the pink sticker adds color and divides the layout. The empty space all around the edges, let's the red shine through without overpowering the page. A mix of Sunshine & Happiness paper, chipboard and flags complete this summertime page.
Sunshine & Happiness: Petal Power, Borders, Cute Cuts, Chipboard Icons; Baby Girl: Just Write Journaling Stickers; Finally Fall: Bliss; Mr. Boy: Icons Chipboard; Flags: Love; Ciao Chip Elements: Borders; Simply Simona Chipboard Alphas: Peep & Oyster; Buttons: Red Flowers
We hope you will take some creative time for yourself, and try out our sketch! Whether it's a card, or a layout, we would love to see what you come up with. You can link them here in the comment section, or share them on our Facebook page.

Each of these books shares certain preoccupations: Artful Histories and Autographs obviously with the nature and function of autobiography as a genre; all three with issues to do with the potential and problems of narrative and narrating, and with what David McCooey calls 'narrative lives', including the complex processes whereby what we might think of as our individual experience is translated, taken up by and transformed within narratives of different kinds, here personal ones. In this sense, each is also concerned with the nature of subjectivity; with the ways selves are constructed and, importantly, the ways they might understand their existence in relation to their social, historical, psychological, indeed their narratological contexts. Further, each works to a greater or lesser extent with the idea of mapping, that popular contemporary theoretical metaphor for the potential of different discourses to chart a reality. Such mappings in turn depend on and are represented through sets of ideological assumptions and discursive constructions. Each book is, therefore, informed by contemporary theories and debates from literary criticism, cultural studies and postcolonial studies. Further, and perhaps most interestingly, each is dealing with its various preoccupations and deploying its theories in relation to Australian realities. Simon Ryan uses a contemporary post- structuralist perspective to re-read an aspect of Australia's colonial past. Through narratives of travel, specifically the journals of explorers, Ryan uncovers and analyses the maps by which these authoritarian, imperialist observers 'discovered' Australia. David McCooey is most interested in the intersections of self, history, and the nation and the ways Australian autobiographers speak their version of 'Australian' selves. And Gillian Whitlock has edited a collection of extracts from the writings of those she calls 'disobedient selves', writers whose work refuses in one way or another to comply with the traditional conventions of autobiography, and who convey often questioning, sceptical or nonconforming versions of selfhood in Australia.

From there, we will provide timely feedback and try to give a clear answer about what we will and will not be implementing (as far as we know at the time of course).
Please note that while we cannot respond to every feature request, we do review every one and will post information and updates as we have them. If there is no response under a certain feature request it only means that we have no solid information about it to share at the moment.

Healthy snack food should be part of a balanced diet. Like me, you've probably heard this before:
Why not having a healthy snack a few times a day?
Snacking is not bad. The best snacks will be nutritive and will not replace a meal. Healthy food snacks will satisfy your hunger and keep your energy levels up.
Making healthy food choices at meals doesn't mean you have to starve yourself in between.
The solution? Eat more often and choose carefully what you eat.
Always have a healthy snack on hand i.e. in your purse, your car, in your office to avoid the vending machines. Snacks also allow you not to overeat at mealtimes...
And taking a few snacks a day is good for your health... particularly if you are on a diet!
Snacking is important, but you have to snack for the right reasons. The biological symptoms of hunger are fatigue, irritability, headache, weakness...
Don't eat because you're sad, you feel lonely or stressed. You really have to distinguish between hunger and emotional cravings.
Also drink water. Sometimes you can just be dehydrated and by drinking water your hunger will be appeased.
And if you like the "crunchy" side of a snack just try..
the choices are endless!
Snacking a few times a day can lead to teeth decay. If you can't brush your teeth after eating a snack try to
Here are somme risk free snacks for your teeth
Finally, having a healthy snack food can be very easy...
and having a "little special snack" once in a while is not going to hurt you but try to choose nutritious snacks most of the time.

Minnesota United 4, DC United 0 | 2017 MLS Match Recap
Minnesota United broke out of a long scoreless streak with goals by Christian Ramirez and Abu Danladi before halftime, and an own goal helped the Loons cruise to a 4-0 win over D.C. United on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium.
Miguel Ibarra, a first-half substitute for the injured Ramirez, who left with a left hamstring injury, added the finishing touches with a goal in extra time of the second half.
Kevin Molino assisted on the first two goals for Minnesota United, which with Ramirez's goal ended a 358-minute scoreless streak that lasted a month's worth of games.
Ramirez added to his team-leading goal total with his 11th of the season.
D.C. had a number of chances throughout but couldn't get a shot past Minnesota goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth. Their losing streak moved to six games in MLS play.
- 7' – MIN – Christian Ramirez WATCH
- 40' – MIN – Abu Danladi WATCH
- 58' – MIN – Jared Jeffrey (OG) WATCH
- 90'+1 – MIN – Miguel Ibarra WATCH
Three Things
- A COMPLETE PERFORMANCE: Minnesota United got standout performances from throughout the lineup on Saturday. Molino and Danladi were driving forces for the attack, Ibarra put in a strong night's work off the bench and it paid off with a goal, and Shuttleworth had five saves. And the defense gave up chances but no goals.
- DADDY ON DEFENSE: It wasn't a lockdown night for Minnesota's defense, but the best defender for the game was Jerome Thiesson, who turned in a special effort after becoming a father only a day earlier. Danladi paid tribute to his teammate with his goal celebration, pretending to cradle and rock a baby.
Jerry already showing off that dad strength!— Minnesota United FC (@MNUFC) July 30, 2017
Love ya, @j_thiesson! #MINvDC | 3-0 pic.twitter.com/eVBlqTFI5V
3. NO-GOAL NIGHT: The last time D.C. United didn't score a goal was July 1, giving them two games this month alone in which they failed to score. There is also plenty of work to do defensively, as D.C. has given up at least three goals in four straight games.

New York City police limited access to parts of Wall Street for a third day after a weekend of protests targeting financial firms. At least seven people were arrested since the demonstrations began.
The size of the protest, dubbed "#OccupyWallStreet," dwindled to about 200 people early today near Chase Manhattan Plaza, down from 1,000 on Sept. 17.
Four demonstrators were arrested Monday for wearing masks in violation of a law that bars two or more participants from doing so, and one was arrested for jumping a police barrier and resisting arrest, Paul Browne, a police spokesman, said in an email. Two masked protesters were arrested Saturday for trying to enter a building used by Bank of America Corp., he said.
Protesters are urging President Barack Obama to establish a commission to end "the influence money has over our representatives in Washington," according to the website of Adbusters, a group that asked people to occupy Wall Street "for a few months."
Police partitioned Wall Street's pedestrian walkway throughout the weekend, preventing the protesters from gaining a toehold there. Pedestrians were limited today to sidewalks between Broadway and William Street.
Demonstrators marched around Wall Street and Broad Street, using the pedestrian walkways created by police, chanting, "All day, all week, occupy Wall Street." Anyone who stops and disrupts pedestrian traffic is subject to arrest, Mr. Browne said.
The city established a demonstration area on Broad Street and Exchange Place, adjacent to the New York Stock Exchange, that protesters chose not to use, Mr. Browne said.
New York Stock Exchange owner NYSE Euronext, Deutsche Bank AG and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. are among firms with operations in the area. Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Inc. are among financial firms whose main offices are not on Wall Street.
Spokesmen at NYSE Euronext, Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York declined to comment on the demonstration.
Protests also are planned for financial districts in Madrid, Milan, London and Paris, according to a bulletin from the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center obtained by Bloomberg News. The NCCIC is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Chris Ortman, an agency spokesman, confirmed the bulletin's authenticity.

eBay's New National TV Campaign Calls Attention to Mobile Shopping
EBay's new marketing campaign kicked off this week, with six 30-second TV commercials appearing on some of the most popular cable shows to promote something a little unexpected: Shopping from a mobile phone.
The spots will appear on "Top Gear," "SportsCenter," "Tosh.0," "The Daily Show," "Top Chef" and "The Rachel Zoe Project."
The campaign's tagline is "When it's on your mind, it's on eBay."
We knew that the ad campaign was coming. While eBay hasn't advertised in awhile, it decided now is the right time, after spending the last year redesigning its site to no longer focus exclusively on auctioning off used goods.
In fact, 62 percent of eBay's current listed items are being sold for a set price, and 70 percent are new.
The ad campaign, which will also feature QR codes and online ads — including YouTube and Yahoo homepage takeovers — was created by independent San Francisco ad agency Venables Bell & Partners.
It's not too shocking that eBay is targeting mobile users for this campaign.
This holiday season will likely be the biggest shopping event ever for mobile (only because it's still so new), with tablets driving a lot of so-called "couch commerce."
By the end of the year, eBay expects mobile sales to exceed $4 billion. Other e-commerce leaders, such as Amazon, are not as vocal about their mobile revenues, but are equally investing in applications and tools for shoppers to use on the go.
EBay's apps have been downloaded 50 million times and generate an astonishing amount of traffic — one purchase is made every second. That breaks down to a pair of shoes sold every nine seconds, and 2,000 cars every week.

Simply put, quotation marks are either content or they are presentation; the original<q> proposal seeks to use a semantic element to control presentation in order to compensate with a conundrum with people's content. Sorry for my mistake, you're right :). I was almost convinced when you said : "I repeat : Automatically generation punctuation is fraught with danger." (<- oh a quote ! damned …), but the last e-mail of Sam [1] made me think. It is a really problem of course. Maybe, use CSS to generate content (and /a fortiori/ a ponctuation, that's equal for me) through the /content/ property is not a good solution. I don't like this property as well … So I propose this : Keep the <q> tag in live, keep it in the spec. Precise that the <q> tag is only a marker, like <p>, <a> etc. (like all tags in HTML in fact) and not produce any kind of content or punctuation (which is an error in my humble opinion). And finally, also precise that the punctuation, /i.e./ quotes here, must be written manually by the author. In this way, there is no problem with authoring tool, UA etc. The last problem (with this proposition) is : where inserting/writing quotes ; inside or outside of <q> ? I propose inside because quotes are part of a quote sentence (always in my humble opinion). If you think about Sam, Justin, Olivier, Ben, Chris etc. said, it solves many problems I think. I will not detailled all cases, it was done in previous mails. Regards.

Restaurant has come up with genius way to use leftovers for good
When dining out, people often end up with more food than they can eat and taking the excess home isn't always an option.
Minu Pauline, a restaurant owner in India, has come up with a way to use those leftovers for good.
She placed a refrigerator outside of her establishment, Pappadavada, and is encouraging diners to leave their leftovers so those in need can have them. The cooler is never locked and there are no restrictions concerning the food's taking.
Pauline only asks that those leaving items put a date on them so they can be removed if approaching expiration. Thus far, the food hasn't hung around long enough to be at risk of going bad. Her highly successful means of both controlling food waste and feeding the hungry has drawn international attention, and, hopefully, many will follow her lead.

One of the biggest expenses to hack while traveling is housing. While previously there was the potential to Airbnb our home to offset the costs, the changing laws in NYC quickly made that undoable. Further, our new condo strictly prohibits subletting of any kind. So this presented a new challenge - how do we travel without spending a ton on housing? We could always use our points or open a new credit card -- but we typically like to reserve those for flights. So while that is an option, I was curious to see what else we could do.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto a new hack: house-swapping. This is perfectly legal in NYC and in accordance with my condo rules ('friends' can stay but no money can be exchanged). Our first opportunity came earlier this year when a friend reached out and asked if we were interested in swapping homes with a Parisian family they knew. We had never 'done' Paris and the timing was perfect. This would be the last international flight before baby girl arrives in March 2018. So we agreed. We emailed and FaceTimed with the family (who seemed awesome) and set up the exchange of keys on both sides. They were super cool and we all had an AMAZING experience. Their home was fantastic (a 2-story townhouse set up for kids in a great location in Paris ) and our condo was perfect for them. From now on, we are going to try and swap all over the world. I'll keep you posted with where we end up next.

Mountains to molehills: Mackay Marina Run
SOMETIMES it takes a pat on the back and some good advice from a stranger to get you motivated – well at least that was the case for Charlie Martel.
The wiry 52-year-old currently holds the record for the 1 mile, 3km, 5km, 10km and half marathon in Mackay.
After competing for 25 years, the Hughenden-born athlete is still as enthusiastic as ever.
Especially about hills.
According to his mates at the Mackay Road Runners club, Charlie makes mountains look like molehills with his ability to scale them with speed.
He has, after all, won the King of the Mountain competition in the Noosa Hinterland 13 times.
Charlie discovered his love of running when he moved to Mackay.
"A friend was always trying to get me to come for a run… but I'd never get around to it," Charlie says.
"But one day he just came to my house and said, "grab your shoes – we're going for a run."
It turned out that Charlie's mate was taking him to the Mackay Road Runners, a running club with regular competitions like the Magic Mile and the Mackay Half Marathon (now the Mackay Marina Run).
Charlie ran 16km that first day, and sure felt every kilometre the next morning.
"The only toilet in my house was downstairs," Charlie says.
"I was in so much pain I had to walk down the stairs sideways."
In his second training session with the club, Charlie was running the 'powder puff' race (the 9km) while the other guys ran the 27km.
"I looked behind me and [this guy] Fred Farmer was right there," recalls Charlie.
"As he went past me he patted me on the back, which nearly had me falling over, I was so worn out, and he said, 'how's it going Charlie?'"
"I asked how'd he gotten there so fast.
"And he replied, 'just a bit of training boy'".
Thanks to 'a bit of training' Charlie was soon the one racing ahead and breaking records.
He also became firm friends with Fred.
"I'll always remember that training day… how things have changed," he says.
Four years ago Fred was diagnosed with Leukaemia, but thanks to his fitness levels, will be able to receive cell treatment.
"He's only able to get the treatment because he's been running all his life," Charlie says.
"His 25-year-old doctor was like, 'holy hell you're fitter than me'."
The Mackay Marina Run helps support research for the Leukaemia Foundation.
With any luck there will be a couple of hills.

New Regulations for Head Start Seek To Broaden and ImproveOperations
By Deborah L. Cohen
WASHINGTON--Proposed federal rules would require local Head Start grantees when recruiting new applicants to serve more children in isolated areas, favor younger children for whom kindergarten is not available, and weigh such factors as whether children live with single parents or families with a history of child abuse or substance abuse.
The Head Start program, which combines educational, health, social services, and parental support for disadvantaged 3- to 5-year olds, has been widely embraced in recent years as a model approach to boost poor children's chances of success in school. The goal set by the President and the nation's governors to ensure that all children start school ready to learn has bolstered support for the program, and legislation that would extend and fully fund the program by 1994 is now pending in the Congress. (See Education Week, May 23, 1990.)
The program now serves only about one-quarter of all eligible children.
Head Start marked its 25th anniversary in May. The proposed new rules, published in the July 23 Federal Register, are the latest in a series of regulations offered by the Health and Human Services Department in an effort to broaden the base of children served and improve operations.
The proposal would require local grantees to recruit and serve children over a specified geographic area, negotiated with the department, rather than confining services to pockets of high population concentration.
While grantees are now funded to serve a city, county, or other designated area, it is not unusual for them to focus services in parts of the areathe need is considered greatest and resources are most plentiful.
"We are concerned that, as funding increases, grantees may tend to expand services in the areas where they are already operating, rather than move into unserved parts of their service area," the federal proposal states.
It would also require that Head Start programs serve all eligible 3- and 4-year-olds "before 5-year-olds who have the option of going to kindergarten could be enrolled."
Once enrolled in the program, the rule adds, children should continue to be served until they are able to enroll in kindergarten or 1st grade.
Current regulations require grantees to favor families with the lowest income when more applicants than can be served meet the program's income criteria. Under the proposed rules, however, grantees would be encouraged to weigh other criteria, such as the child's age, the parents' health, and whether parents work or are involved in job-training programs.
To ensure that program slots that open up when families move during the course of a year are filled quickly, the new rules would also require that grantees recruit 20 percent more applicants than are needed to fill slots available at the beginning of the year.
Don Bolce, director of information services for the National Head Start Association, said the proposal addresses "appropriate" areas of concern and "much of what is proposed is good practice and can be found in good programs across the country."
But he warned that a "rigid application" by regional offices could impede grantees' flexibility.
For example, he noted, while it is "general practice" to discourage services for 5-year-olds who could enroll in kindergarten, some districts, on the basis of school "readiness" tests, encourage parents to delay kindergarten entry. In other cases, he noted, kindergartens lack the comprehensive features of Head Start or are not "developmentally appropriate" to the child's learning style.
"On the one hand, Head Start programs really need to work with schools to make sure they are ready for kids," he said. "At the same time, I would hate to see us forcing all children into kindergarten."
Requiring grantees to serve children over a broad geographic area "could prove problematic," he added, "until resources greatly increase."
"Most agencies now are doing a good-faith, quality recruitment," added Larry B. Shirosten, director of the Economic Opportunity Committee of Clark County, Wash., a Head Start grantee. But they would have problems ensuring transportation and recruiting the staff needed to serve hard-to-reach areas without additional funding, he noted.
Rita Schwarz, a program analyst in the Head Start Bureau of the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families, said service boundaries would not be a "unilateral decision," but a "back-and-forth issue between [grantees] and regional offices."
She also noted that the rule, which says grantees must serve an entire geographic area "to the extent their financial resources allow," would permit a grantee to make the case that it is only equipped to serve a particular area in greatest need.
While predicting that the proposed change would not affect the majority of grantees, she noted that the issue may be "trickier" in cities with multiple grantees or where a Head Start grantee that is a school district "may not want to extend their services into another school district."
Mr. Bolce and Mr. Shirosten both said they supported giving grantees more leeway to consider other family variables besides income--provided, Mr. Bolce said, that the process did not "distract" them from the goal of serving all families who qualified.
Both men suggested, however, that requiring grantees to recruit a set amount more children than they can serve may be counterproductive given the investment of staff time and the transience of the population.
