Mazie Hirono on Free Trade
Democratic challenger; Representative (HI-2)
A: Globalization is happening, and happening fast. We must recognize this reality, and support trade policies that work for Americans. We cannot support policies that encourage businesses to take advantage of underpaid foreign workers and lax environmental standards while moving jobs out of the United States. Any new trade agreements we enter into must have strong protections for workers and for the environment.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: It's absolutely ridiculous to believe that we can create jobs without trade. I had the opportunity to travel to Peru recently. I saw firsthand how important this agreement is to Peru and how this agreement will strengthen an important ally of ours in that region. Peru is resisting the efforts of Venezuela's authoritarian President Hugo Chavez to wage a war of words and ideas in Latin America against the US. Congress should acknowledge the support of the people of Peru and pass this legislation by a strong margin.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. WU: I regret that I cannot vote for this bill tonight because it does not put human rights on an equal footing with environmental and labor protections.
Rep. KILDEE: All trade agreements suffer from the same fundamental flaw: They are not self-enforcing. Trade agreements depend upon vigorous enforcement, which requires official complaints be made when violations occur. I have no faith in President Bush to show any enthusiasm to enforce this agreement. Congress should not hand this administration yet another trade agreement because past agreements have been more efficient at exporting jobs than goods and services. I appeal to all Members of Congress to vote NO on this. But I appeal especially to my fellow Democrats not to turn their backs on those American workers who suffer from the export of their jobs. They want a paycheck, not an unemployment check.
Hirono says, "Hirono (D-HI)"
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: In recent years, trade policy has been a dividing force. This legislation develops a new trade policy that more adequately addresses the growing perception that trade is not working for American workers. The Trade and Globalization Assistance Act would expand training and benefits for workers while also helping to encourage investment in communities that have lost jobs to increased trade--particularly in our manufacturing sector. The bill is a comprehensive policy expanding opportunities for American workers, industries, and communities to prepare for and overcome the challenges created by expanded trade.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. McCRERY: We should be considering trade adjustment assistance in the context of trade opportunities generally for US workers. That is to say, I think we should be considering modifications to our assistance network in the context of the pending free trade agreements that are before the Congress. Unfortunately, we are not doing that. We are considering TAA in isolation. [We should instead] restructure TAA from a predominantly income support program into a job retraining program. Other problems include that H.R. 3920 would:
Hirono says, "Hirono (D-HI)"
[Explanatory note from Wikipedia.com "Exchange Rate"]:
Between 1994 and 2005, the Chinese yuan renminbi was pegged to the US dollar at RMB 8.28 to $1. Countries may gain an advantage in international trade if they manipulate the value of their currency by artificially keeping its value low. It is argued that China has succeeded in doing this over a long period of time. However, a 2005 appreciation of the Yuan by 22% was followed by a 39% increase in Chinese imports to the US. In 2010, other nations, including Japan & Brazil, attempted to devalue their currency in the hopes of subsidizing cheap exports and bolstering their ailing economies. A low exchange rate lowers the price of a country's goods for consumers in other countries but raises the price of imported goods for consumers in the manipulating country.
The Progressive Caucus opposes awarding China permanent Most Favored Nation trading status at this time. We believe that it would be a serious setback for the protection and expansion of worker rights, human rights and religious rights. We also believe it will harm the US economy. We favor continuing to review on an annual basis China's trading status, and we believe it is both legal and consistent with US WTO obligations to do so. The Progressive Caucus believes that trade relations with the US should be conditioned on the protection of worker rights, human rights and religious rights. If Congress gives China permanent MFN status, the US will lose the best leverage we have to influence China to enact those rights and protections. At the current time, the US buys about 40% of China's exports, making it a consumer with a lot of potential clout. So long as the US annually continues to review China's trade status, we have the ability to debate achievement of basic worker and human rights and to condition access to the US market on the achievement of gains in worker and human rights, if necessary. But once China is given permanent MFN, it permanently receives unconditional access to the US market and we lose that leverage. China will be free to attract multinational capital on the promise of super low wages, unsafe workplace conditions and prison labor and permanent access to the US market.
Furthermore, giving China permanent MFN will be harmful to the US economy, since the record trade deficit with China (and attendant problems such as loss of US jobs, and lower average wages in the US) will worsen. For 1999, the trade deficit is likely to be nearly $70 billion. Once China is awarded permanent MFN and WTO membership, the trade deficit will worsen.

What is xine?
xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available – and some of the most uncommon formats, too.
Latest news…
xine-lib 1.2.6
Changes include video decoding and output for Raspberry Pi, more colour matrix support (overlay, VAAPI, Radeon), Opus audio support, and various decoding and output fixes and optimisations.
Download it from our download page.
gxine 0.5.908
Maintenance release; essentially, dust removal. There's input support for xineliboutput and a few build and bug fixes.
Download it from our download page.
xine-lib 1.2.5
This release works with libav10.
We now have an avformat demuxer plugin, which means new formats and new protocols – for example, proper RTSP support (avformat+rtsp://, rtsp+tcp:// and rtsp+http://). Native demuxer plugins are probed first, but can be overridden by configuration or by selecting the demuxer in the MRL – either postfix, i.e. #demux:avformat, or by using avformat+ as a protocol prefix.
We also have a avio (libavformat) input plugin, which allows for HTTPS, FTP, sftp, seekable HTTP streams (avio+http://). This can be overridden in config or by using avio+ as a protocol prefix.
We now handle HEVC/H.265, ADPCM G.726 and ATRAC3. H.265 is handled in MPEG-TS and, along with VP9, in Matroska. VP8 and VP9 decoding may be done by libvpx.
The Quicktime demuxer has seen some improvements: multiple user-selectable audio tracks, support for AC3, EAC3, Vorbis and PureVoice audio, support for ISO fragment media files. Broken files should be handled more safely.
The AC3 decoder now has bass downmix support; HDMV subtitle channel handling and some colour format conversion, RealVideo PTS and COOK audio problems are fixed.
Download it from our download page.
xine-ui 0.99.8
Basically, bug fixes: opening files via the menus, a few crashes and deadlocks.
Download it from our download page.
xine-lib 1.2.4
A few more formats, a few fixes… BluRay Java is now supported; the VAAPI plugin has seen some bug fixing; ffmpeg audio and video playback have seen some clean-up work; Flash video handling is much improved, and there are more codecs supported; and Ogg Theora playback now handles a few more pixel formats. Also, a possible hang due to display locking is fixed, and there are a few performance improvements.
Download it from our download page.

The right plan for you
This is a free service available to customers on an Orange plan.
There are better things to think about in life than whether your phone plan is giving you good value for money. That's why every six months we review the minutes, texts and data you're using.
If you're on the right plan we'll let you know. If you'd be better off on any other Orange plan available, we'll recommend one that suits you better.
You can switch online in My Account or by phoning customer services. There's no need to re-sign your contract – you can just move straight over.
This service is available to pay monthly customers who've joined or upgraded to an Orange plan on or before 30 October 2013.
Customers will need to have joined or upgraded via an Orange or EE shop or online at www.orange.co.uk or by calling us direct. It's not available to Talkshare, Family, iPhone 60 or iPhone 125 or business customers.
What do I need to do?
Nothing, we'll send you a text when your review is ready for you to look at online in Your Account and we'll offer you the option to switch to the recommended plan that suits your usage. If you're already on the right plan for you, we'll text you to let you know too.
Login or sign-up for My Account so you can view your recommendation online, when it is ready.
The detail
We review your UK voice, text and internet usage over the previous six months and compare this usage against our range of plans that are available up to 30 October 2013.
We review this against the same type of plans and same contract length, e.g. if you're on an 18-month plan then you'll be recommended other 18-month plans and if you're on a handset contract plan you'll be recommended other handset contract plans. Equally if you're on a SIM-only plan you'll be recommended to other SIM-only plans.
No information available?
There may be no information available on the right plan for you if:
- You're in the first six months of your contract of your Orange plan, which means it's too early for us to have a complete idea of what the right talk plan would be for you
- You've recently changed your plan when you upgraded – again, we need to know how you've used your phone for six months on your most recent plan
- You're not on an eligible Orange plan.

There are few meats that tempt me, these days but turkey sausage has its appeal so when I decided to throw together, what I find in the kitchen and make a meal. My thinking is that everything goes with sausage. Sausage has so much flavor, it is hard to compete with it and frankly, I don' think, we should try to.
This was another recipe that went easily as soon as I decided what I was putting in it. I tend to go for onions with almost any savory recipe because I cut back on seasoning for my husband. My daughter complains, I put apples in everything. She is right.
Turkey Sausage with Slice Apples and Onions
Ingredients (only a few of them)
4 sausages
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 apple, peeled, diced
(15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsedProcedure
Slice the sausages in to 1/2 inch pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the onion, and cook for 2 minutes .
Add the sausage and cook until the sausage is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the the remaining ingredients and cook everything together for another few minutes (no longer than 4 minutes). The liquid should thicken into a sauce.

These Celebrity Costumes Have Us Planning For Next Year
There's never a dull moment during Halloween! Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady were inspired by The Wizard of Oz, channeling Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion at a private event, and Heidi Klum was almost unrecognizable as an old woman. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus channeled Lil' Kim, Demi Lovato wasn't afraid to get a little bloody and creepy, and Julianne Hough's Orange Is the New Black costume stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Take a look at all the stars who were out in full costumed force this year!

Caped Crusaders are Put Under the Microscope in a New Book of Superhero Infographics
The Berlin-Based Artist Reveals His Favorite Comic Book Heroes
The superheroes, aliens and robot cowboy killers populating the studio of German artist Andy Hope 1930 are documented by photographer Axel Hoedt. Famed for a thrift store aesthetic that blends subjects drawn from the golden age of comic books in the 1930s (hence his pseudonym) with a Russian suprematist painting style, Andy Hope 1930 had his first encounter with comics as a child, when a friend of his mother gave him American serials like Superman and Batman.
"I couldn't read them back then, but I was immediately attracted to
the images, especially to the movements of the figures, the distorted
perspectives and the speed they evoked," he explains. The artist's current show at Hauser & Wirth in London, Medley Tour London by Andy Hope 1930, sees Batman, Beavis and Butt-Head, and the Watchmen's Rorschach rub shoulders with the likes of Paul Klee, Francis Picabia and Kazimir Malevich. Taken from his X-Medleys series, the works echo familiar refrains from his earlier output and show a close connection between early 20th century avant-garde artists and cartoon superheroes. "It's a nice vision to put Russian constructivism and the figure of a superhero in a mixer and see what happens," he says. Here the painter details his favorite superheroes and villains.
Batman, later also known as the Dark Knight. I like the ambivalence of this character, his secret identity. He is both brooding and a champion of justice. My sign system is not based on the coordinates of good or evil or similar moralistic categories. I am looking for other traces and adventures. The caped crusader in X-Medleys is no longer a figure. He has no characteristics, virtues, vices or life. It's a pure sign.
Wonder Woman, a superheroine who represents for me the strongest superhero teams like Justice Society (from 1941) and Justice League (from 1960), with all its historical and political implications. Wonder Woman is also considered a feminist icon.
Mister Mxyzptlk, a malicious trickster. His godlike power can only be stopped by tricking him into saying or spelling his own name backwards. In mythology, the trickster figure frequently exhibits gender and form variability, changing gender roles.
Doctor Strange, his mystic arts were a strong influence on me; the graphical inventions of [comic book artist] Steve Ditko gave this character his incredible dynamic.
Spider-Woman, because of her outfit and appearance. In a way she is the Marvel version of DC's Wonder Woman.
Medley Tour London by Andy Hope 1930 is at Hauser & Wirth, Saville Row until May 26.
A New Monograph Celebrates the Sensual Fashion Photographer's Singular Vision
Supermodel Iman is obscured by an explosion of colorful fabric and slick-skinned glamazons pose on Togo beach in Hans Feurer's tantalizing images. This fall, the Swiss-born photographer's oeuvre is brought together for the first time in a new monograph published by Damiani: the eponymous tome features collaborations with Emmanuelle Alt, Grace Coddington and his one-time assistant Patrick Demarchelier. Inspired by a two-year road trip across Africa in the mid-60s, Feurer took to fashion photography and became a regular in Elle, Vogue and, later, i-D, while also creating era-defining campaigns for Kenzo. The self-proclaimed "observer" rarely retouches his images, and instead plays with texture, motion and shadow. "The figures in Feurer's dreamlike images are feminine: strong women, natural beauties, women in war paint, women in motion, women without makeup, women without clothes, women in veils, women on horseback," writes New York-based curator Gianni Jetzer in the foreword to the book. "Feurer describes himself as a feminist who has the utmost respect for female intelligence. He thinks that our planet would be in better hands, if it were run by women."
Hans Feurer is published by Damiani this September. A selection of photographs will be exhibited at Colette from September 2 to October 5.

Hiking Distance Estimates
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a good system for estimating hiking distance capabilities. My preference is to start hiking about an hour after the sun starts to rise and end the day about 1 hour before total darkness. I want to walk actively all day with short breaks. My method to planning trips is to simply measure off 15 miles and figure I can pretty much do that. Problems arise with terrain (flat I cover too quickly, lots of terrain can slow me down terribly), sunlight (winter time....oppps is that the sunning setting), streams (how many times can this trail cross this thing), etc. The problem is some days I find myself running to get to camp location (for water) and others taking a nap to slow down. Any formulas you guys use to make this easy?
Naismith's formula from 1892 works well.The basis is 3 miles per hour, plus an additional 30 minutes per 1000ft of ascent.Obviously, terrain and personal fitness affects this - for example ploughing through deep mud is a lot slower, but overall this is still a useful method.Google for 'Naismith's Formula'and you'll find a lot of variations on the original.
I think the average walking speed with a full pack is more like 2 mph plus the slowdown for climbs.
In the country where I travel, I think that Naismiths formula would be a bit unrealistic. For level terrain with no bad trail surfaces (eg. a graded dirt road), 3 mph is probably a reasonable figure and, pushing it, you could likely crank out 4 mph. The problem is that I almost never see conditions like that for any significant distance here in the west. Trails here are rocky, steep, muddy, washed-out, sandy or missing; or some combination of the foregoing. So, I usually plan on 2 mph and add 30 to 60 minutes per 1000 feet depending on how steep the climb looks and whether the trail is known to be good or bad. Even then, my estimates of travel time are generally just that, estimates, and typically will vary by 1-2 hours per ten miles, one way or the other. I just live with it and enjoy the ride!
This is an area where I really like profile maps. They give me a much better idea of the difficulty expected overall. For actually hiking and navigating, I've found them to sometimes be fairly inaccurate, but they definitely help me figure mileage well in the planning stage. More maps than you would imagine offer profiles for longer distance trails.
In the areas where I hike most (Ozark Mtns), with the usual ups and downs, I can usually figure on hiking an average of 2 miles every hour. I can usually knock out a mile every 24-26 minutes and when I figure in the rest breaks and lunch, I am looking at a 15-mile day taking right at 8 hours.
Most in-shape backpackers CAN move at three or four miles per hour but one must factor in rest breaks, scenic vista stops, eating, et al to the overall equation. When all is said and done, although I actually move at three or four miles per hour while hiking my daily average moves much closer to two miles per hour.
We slow-packers usually average 1 to 1 1/2 miles per hour averaged over the entire day, taking into account lunch and breaks, a few thousand feet elevation gain/loss (as in the Cascades or White Mountains), rocky trails, etc.So in an 8-hour hiking day we average about 8 miles if steep and/or rocky, and up to 12 miles if there are flat or easy sections.
My lunchtime workouts are on a paved creekside trail, and I do 3.75 miles in an hour with a pack there. This weekend, I estimated six hours (1.5 miles/hour plus slack) for a 8.5 mile round-trip hike up Mt. Tamalpais with an 1100 foot gain, and we did it in 6:10. Four adults and seven boys ages 10-14. The boys tend to average 1.5 mph with packs on short backpack hikes (2-5 miles). The older boys leave me in the dust.It was clear and very windy on Mt. Tam. My Six Moon Designs Starlite scrunched down decently to be a big comfortable daypack.
Edited by wunder on 03/05/2008 22:01:56 MST.
I have to bring someone along if only to remind me to take breaks; otherwise I move at 3-4 mph nonstop for hours and get to camp by lunchtime. A friend who studies Autism told me that i probably find repetitive motion (i.e. walking) soothing, and I can't disagree. I can't take a break unless I have someone to talk to or something to chew on, and when that finishes I'm itching to get rolling. Not fast, just constant.I think that your pace and range are very personal things, and unless you're "the slow one" they depend far more on the group (and of course the trail) than they do on you. It's basic math: if each person randomly needs to pause for something once every two hours, a group of 6 will have 24 random pauses per day whereas a soloist will have 4. 24 4-minute breaks add up, especially if some of them turn into full 15-minute breaks. Add a social dynamic, and everyone moving at the pace of the slowest walker, and your "cruising speed" and "maximum speed" can be 50% or less.Not that that's bad, just that it's important to consider when planning.An experienced group that has their routines figured out is another story, of course...
For me (35 year old, long legg-ed athletic guy), I can plan on 3.5-4 mph for my cruising speed. When I move to the 4-4.5 range, I'm really moving.My wife is shorter and has a more casual pace- her cruising range is 2.5-3. At 3-3.5 she's pushing herself.That's with varied elevation, etc.

William Kentridge
The South African artist William Kentridge is best known for his drawings and animated films.
© William Kentridge, History of the Main Complaint, 1996, videoprojection, 5:38 min Felix in Exile, 1994, videoprojection, 9:00 min
In 1989 he made the animated film Johannesburg, 2nd Greatest City After Paris, which was the first of a series titled "Drawings for Projection". The films reflected South Africa's pre-democratic history
through the character of the industrial magnate Soho Eckstein and his alter-ego Felix Teitlebaum. The works in the National
Museum's collection, Felix in Exile (1994) and History of the Main Complaint (1996) are installments in this chronicle.
At the beginning of the film Felix in Exile we see an African woman sitting and drawing a desolate industrial landscape which probably represents Witwatersrand outside Johannesburg. The woman's name is Nandi, and through her drawings Felix, who is in a locked room, gets a glimpse of the world outside. Nandi's drawings are in a suitcase. The sheets of paper float gradually out of the suitcase and become a connecting link between several scenes. In some of the scene changes we see bleeding and dying victims of the apartheid regime. The work was made in the same year that apartheid officially ended. Two years later South Africa established the "The Truth and Reconciliation Commission" – public hearings that would focus on the victims' experiences. This same year Kentridge produced his film History of the Main Complaint. It portrays Soho Eckstein who, during a hospital stay, reflects on the history of South Africa and seemingly acknowledges each and everyone's responsibility for what occurred under the apartheid regime.
Kentridge's expressive, fuzzy charcoal line creates a poetic atmosphere in these films. They are made by combining a minimal number of drawings which are then constantly altered. By erasing out one movement and drawing the next on the same sheet, there always remains a trace of what was there before. This is strongly symbolic of South Africa's history – one can begin anew and write new histories, but the traces of a bloody past will remain.
William Kentridge was born in 1954 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he also lives and works.

BCoT wins armed forces award
1:00pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News By Emily Roberts, Chief Reporter
A BASINGSTOKE college has received an award for allowing staff time off work to serve in the armed forces.
The Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Dame Mary Fagan, gave the award to Lance Corporal Andy Chilton, a hospitality and catering lecturer at Basingstoke College of Technology (BCoT), who is also a member of the Reserve Forces with the Royal Engineers.
The college, in Worting Road, allows him time off from his day job to train to drive military vehicles, and at any point he could be asked to serve in Afghanistan or elsewhere abroad.
In return, SaBRE (Support for Britain's Reservists and Employers) pays BCoT for Lance Cpl Chilton's time away from work. The organisation is part of the Ministry of Defence.
Lance Cpl accepted the SaBRE award on behalf of the college at a ceremony held at The Great Hall, in Winchester.
He said: "The college has never said 'no' to me which is what's really good about working there."
The 31-year-old father-of-two, from Chineham, has worked at BCoT for seven years, and has been part of the Reserve Forces for five years.
He said: "I always wanted to do it from when I left school. We train every Tuesday and have one or two weeks of field-based exercise. I normally do about four weeks a year but I could be called to Afghanistan at any time. They normally say that everyone in the Reserve Forces should get deployed every five to seven years."
He added: "A lot of people don't realise it's a paid role and it's a proper job, and it takes up a lot of time and work to juggle both worlds. But I enjoy learning new things, meeting lots of people and being part of something."
Anthony Bravo, principal at BCoT, said he was "delighted" the college had been given the award, adding: "Andy is an outstanding member of staff, and as a college, we are totally committed to supporting his work as a Reservist. It is an honour to have him on our team."

Police 'believe dead teen was sold tablets locally'
North Wales Police believe a 19-year-old man who died on Saturday had taken "a quantity of tablets", which they believe he had been sold "by an individual within the local area."
The death of Thomas Jones from Llangefni is currently being treated as "unexplained."
Police are investigating whether his death is linked to what they believe is a form of ecstasy called "Green Apples."
DCI Andrew Williams he is "absolutely desperate to ensure that nobody else loses their life as a result of taking these tablets."
Anyone with information about people who use or supply "Green Apples" or any other controlled drug is asked to contact North Wales Police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Branch is back in the lineup for Sunday's game in Cincinnati.||||||| He missed last week's game against New Orleans with a neck injury.

CBS Sports reported the deal is worth $26.6 million with $17.1 million guaranteed.
Branch has signed his $6.2 million dollar franchise tag tender and reported to workouts with the Oakland Raiders. Branch was a fourth-round pick out of Connecticut in 2008. He has started every game the past three seasons and led the Raiders in tackles the past two years.||||||| The Raiders placed the tag on Branch on March 1. He decided to sign it Monday and joined the team for the offseason program. The two sides are still hoping to reach a long-term deal that would give the Raiders more salary cap room and Branch more stability.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson will not play in the preseason, head coach Leslie Frazier confirmed Tuesday.
Peterson tore his ACL in Week 16 last season. He has been removed off the team's physically-unable-to-perform list, which has allowed him to practice. Peterson, entering his sixth season, rushed for 970 yards and 12 touchdowns in 12 games last season.
"That doesn't guarantee that he'll be ready for Jacksonville," Fraizer said, via PFW correspondent Tom Pelissero of ESPN 1500. "But what it does is it gives us more time to throw more things at him in practice and get him prepared. Hopefully, there won't be any setbacks. There haven't been up to this point. He's continued to progress. Everything has gone better than can be expected up to this point."
Frazier insisted that Peterson did not suffer a setback. Toby Gerhart will remain the starter the rest of the preseason.

On May 30th, and without fanfare, state government sent the residents of Lewiston, Auburn and several other cities a message: You should raise more money to support your schools.
And if you don't, the state told the cities, we will start penalizing you in 2016-2017 by withdrawing state support to your schools.
The message came in the form of LD 667, and the message wasn't open to other interpretations, according to Rep. Joyce Maker of Calais, the bill's author.
Now, telling other people to raise their taxes is pretty nervy, but Maker wasn't being hypocritical. Her own school district isn't, by her definition, doing enough to fund its schools.
Maker isn't exactly a tax-and-spend liberal from some wealthy coastal community.
She represents Baileyville, Baring, Calais, Charlotte and Pleasant Point, Passamaquoddy Indian Township, Perry, Robinson and the unorganized territory of North Washington, all in Washington County.
And she's also a Republican.
While Maker is a retired college administrator and financial aid director at Washington County Community College, she doesn't consider herself a big spender.
She told the Sun Journal she just feels very strongly about education, and that a proper education isn't possible without a proper amount of spending.
"It really bothered me that some communities were not contributing to their children's education at the required share amount," she said in her testimony before the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee of the legislature.
"I was determined to try to fix it."
First, she thought about immediately forcing cities like Lewiston, Auburn, Biddeford and Augusta to stop under-funding their schools.
But, she said she realized some communities would have a hard time raising the required share right off the bat.
So, the bill she wrote allows communities to take baby steps toward this goal, raising about a third of the total for three years beginning in 2014-2015.
"You may ask, why should the local communities pay their share when the state and the federal government do not," she said. "This is very simple. They are OUR children. . . . The students don't deserve any less."
And you know what? Our anti-tax governor, Paul LePage, agreed that some communities are not putting enough money into education. He signed Maker's bill on May 30th.
That was after it was approved overwhelmingly by both houses of the Maine Legislature, by both Democrats and Republicans.
In the House, 42 Republicans voted to force about 30 school units, out of more than 230 in the state, to raise their taxes, compared to 13 Republicans who voted against. The measure passed 110 to 29.
In the Senate, 18 Republicans joined 15 Democrats in approving Maker's bill. Conservatives like Sen. James Hamper, R-Oxford, and Garrett Mason, R-Lisbon Falls, joined liberals like Sen. Emily Cain, D-Orono, in approving the tax-hike measure.
Lewiston-Auburn legislators were like a wall of opposition to the tax increase. Sen. John Cleveland and Reps. Mike Beaulieu, Mike Carey, Mike Lajoie, Nathan Libby, Margaret Rotundo and Wayne Werts were all opposed.
Only Sen. Brian Bolduc of Auburn favored Maker's bill.
The goal, according to Maker, is to force districts to meet the Essential Program and Services standard set by the state, which is a minimum amount originally approved by the Legislature in 2004.
The purpose of EPS, according to David Silvernail at the University of Southern Maine, is to determine how much money is necessary to provide a child with a basic education and then how much of that should be raised locally and how much by the state.
Many argue that Lewiston and Auburn, because of our lower property values and tax base, cannot raise as much money as a wealthier community like Falmouth or Scarborough.
And the EPS formula acknowledges that by requiring poorer communities to raise less tax money toward EPS and wealthier communities to raise more.
Many complain that the Legislature has not fulfilled its own obligation to pay for 55 percent of the cost of local education in Maine. But they may not realize that the state already pays more than 50 percent of the cost in Lewiston, Auburn and many other poorer communities.
But the 2004 law also required local communities to do their proportionate share. Lewiston and Auburn would have been required to do this several years ago if not for a waiver passed in 2009.
Silvernail said the waiver was meant to be a temporary measure in response to the recession.
So, Maker's amendment does not create a new EPS obligation, it simply lifts the waiver that certain communities have had that allowed them to receive full state funding without raising their share.
Maker's goal was to gradually remove the waiver in three steps starting in 2014-2015.
As a result, Auburn will not be penalized even if it doesn't raise more money for schools for 2013-2014.
But in coming years, failing to do so will result in an increasing large penalty until, in 2016-2017, the state will begin taking two dollars away for every dollar the local community does not provide.
Lewiston voters took a gradual step toward meeting the EPS goal on May 14th by approving a 7.2 percent increase.
A month later, on June 14th, Auburn voters rejected a similar increase, 6.9 percent. Auburn will trim that request and try again in a few weeks.
But taxpayers should realize that unless state law changes, they are only delaying a tax increase largely imposed by legislators from the 80 percent of communities already meeting the EPS mark.

Survey from TheKnot.com and The Advocate Showcases New and Old Wedding Traditions for Same-Sex Couples
NEW YORK, June 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- To commemorate Pride Month, the striking down of same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Indiana, and the anniversary of the overturn of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), TheKnot.com, the number-one online wedding planning destination, and The Advocate, the world's leading gay news source, announced the results of their second annual same-sex wedding survey. This study looks at many aspects of weddings, from the engagement ring to the honeymoon, comparing the traditions that same-sex couples are following in their wedding ceremonies with those of their straight counterparts.
"Here at The Knot, we've been proud supporters of marriage equality from day one," said Rebecca Dolgin, The Knot editor in chief. "In researching for Gay Weddings from The Knot, a special digital magazine we just released to celebrate equal love for all, we wanted to look further into the traditions the LGBT community is following, and making their own."
"One year after the Supreme Court's landmark rulings on marriage, this survey illustrates their enormous impact playing out in the lives of couples who want to marry. As you might expect, same-sex couples are much the same as everyone else. We share a passion for the great traditions in wedding celebrations-from exchanging rings to marrying in a suit or tuxedo-but we also like to add our own unique twist on the celebrations," said Joe Landry, the executive vice president, publishing, for Here Media.

Frenzy (1972)
This terrific comeback for the great director is also on my top 10 (Alfred) Hitchcock list. Barry Foster plays a strangler (who uses his necktie to murder his victims) in this crime thriller which contains several chilling scenes, but also features many with some comic relief (especially the scenes with the Scotland Yard inspector and his wife; Alec McCowen and Vivien Merchant). The whole potato truck ("lost my monogrammed tie pin") scene is as unforgettable as the somewhat comic expression left on one of "his" victim's (Barbara Leigh-Hunt) face. There is also the memorable scene in which the camera tracks down the stairs, out the door, and onto the noisy street which keeps anyone from hearing the murder that's taking place upstairs inside. Jon Finch, Billie Whitelaw, Anna Massey, and Bernard Cribbins are among those who also appear. It was written by Anthony Shaffer (who'd written Sleuth (1972)) from the novel Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square by Arthur Labern. This was the first Hitchcock film to receive an R rating.

By Mike Redmond
— I admit it. I buy things on impulse. I seldom go through a grocery checkout without picking up a Kit Kat bar or a pack of Doublemint, and I once came home from a quick errand with milk, bread, and a new Pontiac.
(I still say the Pontiac was not my fault. I blame whoever put a dealership between my house and Kroger.)
Anyway, while it occasionally has led me to some silly purchases (the Pontiac was a lemon). I can't call impulse buying a fault. Especially not today, because I (impulsively) just bought ... a tractor.
I suppose this would be as good a time as any to point out that I live in the city, in a very urban neighborhood full of very urban Victorian houses with very urban small yards. It is not what you would call a tractor-friendly environment.
So on the surface, this was an extremely stupid thing for me to do.
But this is no ordinary tractor. This was my grandfather's Oliver Row Crop 60.
By today's monster-sized tractorfication standards, it's a dinky little thing. Compared to the latest behemoths from John Deere and Case IH, it's a lawn tractor.
But this little Oliver, built in the 1940s, represents Grandpa McKenzie's giant step away from horse-drawn agriculture, and that makes it enormous in my eyes.
Just seeing pictures of it reminds me of my early kidhood, when going to visit Grandma and Grandpa on the farm - the farm! - was something you looked forward to all year long. Grandpa didn't mind kids crawling onto the tractors and pretending to drive. Unless, of course, he was using them at the time which, in a sense, is how one of his tractors carried me into family legend.
It was a summer morning, and for some reason a whole bunch of McKenzies were at the farm. Somehow, I managed to be alone - not easy when your first cousins alone number more than 50 - when Grandpa came chugging in from the field on his "big" tractor, an Oliver Row Crop 77. He gestured for me to join him and ride along.
After a spin around the barn, he stopped and let me off.
"Now, don't tell the others," he said, "or I'll be giving rides all day."
I promised. And then 30 seconds later went running up to my cousins, shouting "Grandpa gave me a ride on the tractor!"
My cousins began lining up for their rides. And I understand Grandpa later had a conversation with Mom on the subject of Your Kid Is A Blabbermouth.
All of which explains, to me anyway, why I had to buy this tractor when it became available. I didn't want it to pass out of the family, and maybe by restoring it, I could make things up to Grandpa a little bit, and of course be the envy of my neighborhood. My very urban neighborhood.
I'd be really surprised if anyone else on my block owns a 1940s-era tractor in need of a complete overhaul, new paint, and new tires.
So it's an impulse buy. So what? It has meaning. Although I still don't know where I'm going to keep it. Or what I'm going to do with this nagging notion that I'd also like a 77.
