Lawmakers tackle last minute key issuesUPDATED 7:37 PM HST Apr 21, 2014
Foster families are in line for their first raise in more than two decades under an agreement just reached by state lawmakers in a budget conference. KITV4's Catherine Cruz has the latest from lawmakers trying to reach an agreement on key issues.Video Transcript
decade under an agreement just reached by state lawmakers in a budget conference... Lawmakers worked through the weekend to try and reach agreement on key issues as they try and put the budget to bed before the end of the week. KITV4's Catherine Cruz has the latest... 19 39 57 139 Foster parents get a monthy stipend of $529-- That amount set in 1990 has not changed in 24 years even though the cost of living has soared. But budget conferees agreed to add $5 million dollars on the spreadsheets in a effort to compensate foster families more fairly. - David Ige 32 :30 - 32:36 - "It is something that is long overdue but there was unanimous agreement in the house and senate that we move forward" For the first time lawmakers also agreed to set aside vacation pay for government workers in a new approach to budgeting. It is a change from the practice of using vacant positions to pay out the benefits .... A buget shell game the House frowned upon last year. - Sylvia Luke 34: 41 -31: 45 -"This is our way of trying to have more transparancy and truth in budgeting" Lawmakers hope to put the budget to bed Wednesday and still have to iron out differences on major issues. Meanwhile other controversial bills are moving through conference committees this week although an anti- prostitution bill may have hit a snag. - CARL RHOADS 19:30-19 35 - "I see it as a poison pill and even if i wanted to pass it i doubt seriously we would pass it in the house."senate did not agree to a house version The bill initally grabbed headlines on a side issue of how far police officers could go to make a prostitution arrest. The exemption permitting sex with suspects had been on the books for 25 years but lawmakers have reached agreement on closing the loophole. The dealbreaker could be new language in a section dealing with the arrest of a juvenile. He or she could catch a break after a first offense... Something critics fear is akin to looking the other way when it comes to child prostitution. A bill to raise the minimum wage is still in play. The senate objected to a house version that would give business with 100 workers or less more time to hike the rate. - Clayton Hee 26- :34 -"It is ten ten over three yeas and instead of a 75 cent credit it is a 25 cent tip credit A group of pastors went door to door lobbying lawmakers to pass out a bill that would help t he working poor which they say are predominately women and the homeless Lawmakers will meet again on those two controversial measures tomorrow afternoon. Also on tap for Tuesday, two hot button bills: One allowing residential development in Kakako Makai and another establishing the ukulele as the official state

Exceptional abilities: What is special about the brains of exceptional individuals and what can we learn from them?
Meaning and positive purpose: How does the brain enable individuals and groups to find meaning and achieve larger goals?
Decisions, values, and free will: How does the brain enable decisions based on values and how can decision-making be improved? What can neuroscience reveal about the nature of human freedom?

Alumnus John Carlton-Foss, PhD '81 on the Threat of Global Warming08/24/2009
The impacts of energy use continue to threaten our society, forcing social transformation. Despite ignorance and denial, the facts of Global warming and demand for energy are crowding their way into our reality. The current concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere are higher than they were during the Pliocene Era, 2-5 million years ago. The global temperatures then were 7 to 10 degrees Centigrade higher than the present ones. In 2008 the cost of energy rose so dramatically before falling again that the financial shortfall threatened to overwhelm the most vulnerable in our culture, reminding all of us of our vulnerability. Many came to recognize adequate availability of fuel as a strategic asset. Demand and supply argue that the world economy must voluntarily cut back on its demand or the price will continue to rise until people are forced to cut back. Hidden in financial urgency, are the emerging symptoms of global warming, and the likelihood that the government will have to mandate cutbacks. In fact, if things do not change, energy usage and price will rise when the economy comes out of severe recession. We can do something about it. One thing would be the successful implementation of such programs as Cap and Trade which creates a market for atmospheric carbon, and technical innovations focused on sustainable energy development. Every solution involves enlightened personal choice and discipline. All people must find ways to reduce consumption dramatically while maintaining the sustainable parts of quality in their lives. Many of us have been working on this for decades, work it is again time to share.
Also important in the long term solution to the Global warming issue is managing significant stakeholders who push for actions which increase carbon into the atmosphere. Believe me. I work with some of them. They understand, but they need to be helped to make the transition. We need to foster a social and organizational transformation. If it is to be voluntary, it must have close to 100% market penetration. It must happen very rapidly, within ten to twenty years. Not easy. Self-contained breathing apparatuses (saving the lives of fire-fighters) required 60 years for 50% adoption. The PC revolution required about 25 years but is still not at 100%.
Social science, personal transformation, and marketing science can play significant roles in this transformation. Let's talk about it. I am also very technically skilled, and open to technical discussion. I also blog about energy at http://greenenergyglobalwarming.blogspot.com/, about older people at http://everwalk.blogspot.com/. I participate sometimes in the Harvard and MIT alum discussion groups and would hope to do a certain amount of cross-fertilization among these groups.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) --Greg Altieri is the chief operating officer of MacNair Travel Management in Alexandria, where he says Wednesdays is typically the busiest day of the week. This week, that's a big problem for Altieri, a Nationals season ticket holder who was planning on going to Wednesday's playoff game, until the game was scheduled for one o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's been really tough to decide what to do, and me and some of the guys in my group have had to pass on the game because it's at one o'clock. It's terrible, it's killing us," Altieri said.
Altieri clearly isn't the only one feeling that way. After Monday afternoon's announcement from Major League Baseball that Wednesday's game would start at 1 p.m., thousands of fans with tickets to the game have had to either give up their tickets or figure out a way to leave work.
Mike Klem, who owns his own electrical supply company, is now hoping to buy tickets from an unlucky person unable to attend Wednesday's game. He astutely observed that were it not all but required that the Yankees play all their games in prime time, it's likely the Nationals would have been able to play at night, and this entire problem could have been avoided.
"After we get in to the playoffs for several years to come, we'll be right there in prime time as well," Klem said.

Local Land Conservation in Maryland
There are thousands of organizations working around the world to protect land that is facing rapid and sprawling development, to conserve it for its valuable natural attributes. Hundreds of local conservation organizations in the United States have formed to protect the character and health of land in their communities. These organizations have been established by individuals who recognize that protected land could enhance the quality of their lives in many ways--its scenic and recreational potential, its influence on property values, and the multiple ecosystem services it provides, such as storm water buffering and maintaining atmospheric balances. Local land trusts are contributing greatly to land conservation by putting together a mosaic of protected land in the state of Maryland and around the country. Private landowners are voluntarily giving up the development rights on their properties and, in this form of local-level activism, are declaring their property protected from development in perpetuity.
Land trusts are both directly and indirectly protecting ecosystems in the state of Maryland. Most trusts deliberately create flexible criteria to evaluate land that they may protect, since properties vary greatly in their attributes. However, even without strict ecological guidelines, more than 50% of land protected by The Maryland Environmental Trust (MET), a statewide land trust, met the standards of one of Maryland's most rigorous land conservation funding programs, GreenPrint, without intending to. Parcels that are not eligible for GreenPrint funding may still serve valuable conservation functions if they form clusters or corridors of land that will be permanently protected from development.
This paper examines the criteria trusts use to assess parcels of land and the contributions of trust-protected land to ecological conservation in Maryland. Information was collected through interviews with representatives of 28 different land trusts in Maryland. Analysis of the ecological attributes of land protected by trusts in the state of Maryland was conducted using databases maintained by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and an assessment tool that was created in part to prioritize parcels for GreenPrint funding.

Poster and leaflet design for a Charity boxing Event in collaboration with The Betting Room.
Charity Boxing At Scala
Clothing Logo Design
Digital Magazine - Olympics Special
For me the most exciting and anticipated of all our digital magazines. We had some great interviews during a year that was endorsed in sports due to the Olympics.
A biannual release of our digital magazine launched in 2012 as a physical form, available in most outlets. This was a big and somewhat frightening step for us that pulled off!
Digital Magazine
One venture for ActivInstinct is working on a Digital Magazine. As Head Creative I was ecstatic when it was shortlisted for Digital Magazine Awards against some big publishing Houses.
Women's Running
One very interesting part of my job, is creating material directed for different audiences. Therefore research and knowledge of the demographic before design is essential.
Runner's World
A collection of branded adverts in Runner's World. I'm still not over the novelty of going into my local shop and getting excited over seeing my advert in a magazine.
Outdoor Fitness
Outdoor Fitness is my favourite publication, the brands can be so diverse with initial creative and direction. Also find it fascinating growing with a brand less established in the print market, you see a growth and essentially are developing with them.
Tennis Leaflet - Supplement
From time to time I am asked to create leaflets as supplements or to be given out at events etc. I find the structure and premise completely different to that of an advert. Less is better in this circumstance.

Thank you Master Electrician and CAT Member Gene Hunter for pulling the electrical permit for the City of Bethlehem and starting in on the rewiring and replacing the light fixtures. This was our main obstacle to gaining our occupancy permit and opening the facility. Gene expects to finish the electric work in the next couple of weeks.
We are now hoping to have the BBC West up and running by Janaury 14, 2013. The hours will be Thursday evenings 5-9PM and Saturdays 8AM to 4PM to start. The BBC offers education classes, Bicycle Heaven Rides and the Bicycle Library program.
Work crews continue on Wednesdays from 5 to 9PM and Sundays from 10AM to 4PM at the Bethlehem Bicycle Cooperative West, 1935 Broad Street. Our thanks to J. Reisenberger, Christin Hottenstein, John Hoffer, Roy Young, Tim Miles, Ed Kay and Gary Lader for helping out so far. We still need help with painting and cleaning and light construction. For more information about the work party email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 610 954 5744.
Our thanks to Barrett Ladd, the owner of the property for his generous rental terms, which make this site possible for a bike cooperative. Barrett has also put money into electric wiring and materials to get the site ready for occupancy. You can see Barrett's Trek Transport given to BBC West in the picture above of the front window of the BBC West.

|Accession Number: HS04135 (MetaCyc)
Synonyms: p55-GAMMA, PtdIns-3-kinase p55-gamma, p55PIK, phosphoinositide-3-kinase, regulatory subunit, polypeptide 3 (p55, gamma), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, regulatory subunit, polypeptide 3 (p55, gamma)
Species: Homo sapiens
Component of: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase class IA p110β/p85γ (extended summary available)
General Background
The regulatory subunits of the PI 3-kinases influence the subcellular location, enzymatic activity, and stability of the associated catalytic subunit. The family of mammalian regulatory subunits of PI 3-kinase has been slowly expanding, and currently includes six members. Three of these bind to class IA catalytic subunits (known as p110α, p110β and p110δ) and are activated by receptor tyrosine kinases. Two others bind to the class IB catalytic unit p110γ, and are activated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and one binds to the class III catalytic p100 subunit.
The first member of the group was p85α (PIK3R1), which contains an N-terminal src-homology 3 (SH3) domain and two src-homology 2 (SH2) domains. Other members were discovered based on homology. p85β (PIK3R2) consists of similar structural domains to p85α but its amino acid sequence is only 62% identical. p55γ (PIK3R3) is composed of a unique 30-residue amino terminus followed by a proline-rich motif and two SH2 domains with significant sequence identify to those in p85. It contains no SH3 domain.
Two types of regulatory subunits interact only with the class IB p110γ catalytic subunit. They consist of p101 (encoded by PIK3R5) and p87 (PIK3R6) [Voigt06]. Both of these subunits bind to both p110γ and heterodimeric GTPase βγ subunits and mediate activation of p110γ downstream of G protein-coupled receptors.
The last known regulatory subunit is p150, encoded by PIK3R4, which associates only with the class III p100 catalytic subunit.
About This Protein
p55γ was originally identified in mouse [Pons95]. A cDNA was later cloned from rat brain, and wrongly attributed to altenative splicing of the p85α DNA [Inukai96]. A human fetal brain cDNA has been isolated subsequently [Dey98].
p55γ mRNAs are expressed in most human fetal and adult tissues with particularly high abundance in adult testis. The protein interacts strongly with activated insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGFIR) and with the insulin receptor (IR). It contains two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and no SH3 domain [Dey98].

Subunit of: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase class IA p110β/p85γ
Species: Homo sapiens
Subunit composition of
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase class IA p110β/p85γ = [PIK3R3][PIK3CB]
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit p55γ = PIK3R3 (extended summary available)
phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase catalytic subunit p110β = PIK3CB (summary available)
General Background
The Class I PI 3-kinases, which can be subdivided into IA and IB, are known to be activated by receptors. Although they can phosphorylate an L-1-phosphatidyl-inositol, a 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate, and a 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate in vitro, these enzymes utilize mainly a 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate as a substrate in vivo [Stephens91, Hawkins92].
The Class IA enzymes are heterodimers composed of a catalytic 110 kDa subunit and a regulatory 85 or 55 kDa subunit. Three distinct p110 subunits are associated with p85 regulatory subunits. They are known as p110α, p100β, and p110δ. They are recruited to, and activated by receptors linked to tyrosine kinases through their regulatory subunits. Ligand stimulation of tyrosine kinase receptors results in phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in specific motifs on the receptor, which act as docking sites for the SH2 domains of the regulatory subunit [Otsu91]. Thus the regulatory subunits serve as adaptors and regulators, allowing translocation of the associated catalytic activity to lipid substrates at the membrane. The catalytic subunits can also be directly regulated by Ras [RodriguezVician94].

Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance needs to learn that there's such a thing as bad touch. The director asked a lot of his stars in an effort to capture realism in his naturalistic study of a marriage falling apart. Cianfrance had Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling move in to the house where the film was shot for one month. To make matters creepier, they were also ordered to take care of their on-screen daughter. But it didn't stop there.
In a move that sounds like something out of Pacey's playbook, the director one night told Gosling to go into Williams' bedroom and try to have sex with her. Gosling refused and slept on the couch. Thus, costing Popeater one article.
This plan was stupid from the outset. If it was realism that Cianfrance wanted, he got it. Married couples don't have sex. (Huffington Post)

Police: Suspects bail out of stolen van and run as rig keeps going
LEBANON, Ore. - Two men in a stolen van led police on a chase before jumping out of the rig and fleeing on foot while the van, still in drive, continued down the street without them.
Officers split up to capture the suspects who ran and keep an eye on the moving van.
The van crashed into some mailboxes and then veered off the road into a canal, police said. The engine continued to run, with the front wheels spinning in the water.
The suspects also jumped in the water but were eventually detained, police said. Police also said they found a handgun in the van that didn't belong to the vehicle's owner.
The incident started just after noon with a report of a stolen van. Detectives in an unmarked car spotted the van elsewhere in town and called for backup.
While waiting for marked police cars to arrive, the van drove off. The detectives followed, and when the driver realized he was being followed, he sped off.
After a chase, the driver and passenger bailed out of the van as it slowed down. They ran off on foot; the van continued until it crashed into the canal.
Police arrested the driver, Cary Nathan Pedigo, 24, of Lebanon on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, attempt to elude, reckless driving and other charges. as well as two outstanding warrants.
The passenger, Daniel Lee Noonchester, was booked on a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehilce, police said.

It recently occurred to me, while browsing the library stacks for the usual mindless entertainment I enjoy, that I have absolutely no knowledge about simple home repairs. This PBS home video jumped out at me as a solution to wanting to build a sustainable house with a lack of skills in plumbing, electrical wiring, etc. Dare to Repair was a great introductory video in how to fix minor problems in your standard house or apartment, and much of what I learned can be applied to our off-grid earthbag house someday.

This funny video comes from our friend Chris Marino and his class in the town of Mushaisa, Colombia! It is hilarious and a really upbeat way to think about gluten-free baking; there's tons of options out there and you can really have fun with it too! These students didn't try to make a specifically gluten-free recipe, but they had fun with one anyway. Even though I can't eat eggs right now, I could use egg replacer in this simple recipe:
Major sparkles go out to allaboutlemon for posting this, and the great people who made this video! As a homesteader-wanna-be and an introvert in general, people ask me if I'll be lonely "out there in the wilderness". I grew up faced with the cultural concept that spending time alone was unhealthy and that I was not ok to prefer books to parties; this video brilliantly and creatively addresses that concept and nudges people to open up within themselves. Kudos!

Many Maine Republicans downplayed the tea party movement when some of its backers co-opted their convention platform in May, but when all the Primary ballots were counted Tuesday night, the Republican gubernatorial candidate most aligned with tea partiers had emerged victorious. The nomination of Waterville Mayor Paul LePage surprised many in the GOP, but the number of moderate Republicans in the seven-way race gave him an advantage.
His biography reads like a made-for-TV movie: one of 18 children in an impoverished family who grew up speaking French; homeless at age 11 and living on the streets of Lewiston shining shoes for two years before he found adoptive parents. Paul LePage is a self-made man who put himself through college to earn an MBA and went on to become the general manager of Marden's and a three-term mayor of Waterville. After speaking to supporters at his victory party last night, LePage was already looking ahead to November.
"It's not about Republican. It's not about Democrat. It's not about whether you're conservative or liberal. It's about who is going to have the best approach and who has the heart to get out there and help Maine people."
LePage campaigned on a platform of limited government, welfare reform, including a state residence requirement and tax cuts. He opposes same-sex marriage and abortion, believes creationism should be taught in school and remains skeptical of global warming. And while some GOP faithful may have thought LePage could edge out his competitiors, no one predicted he would have entrepreneur and second place finisher Les Otten conceding before midnight, especially after Otten sunk more than two million dollars of his own money into his campaign.
"I certainly told Paul this evening that I would do what I could to support him", Otten said. " I can speak for myself and my voice, I hope, will be heard by others. It's time for us to make the changes in Maine that are long overdo and I want to help see that come to fruition."
Otten says he has no regrets about financing the bulk of his campaign. And while he was urging his ballroom-size crowd to back LePage in the general election, at least one other moderate Republican in the race was less than enthusiastic about the results.
"I don't think that Paul represents a majority of the Republican Party but he represents a significant plurality of the party", says State Senator Peter Mills, who finished third in the race.
Mills says the outcome demonstrates why other states have run-off elections.
"It's abundantly clear that what happened was that the right wing of the party consolidated around LePage and then everybody else divided their vote essentially three ways: among me, Abbott and Otten and that gave him that significant victory."
Steve Abbott, who left his job as a longtime chief of staff for U.S. Senator Susan Collins, credits LePage and his supporters for running an effective campaign. LePage supporters such as Rachel Anderson of Benton and Bob Gauthier say their candidate's homespun philosophy, fiscal conservatism and working-class roots are precisely why they are drawn to him.
"I'm excited about the LePage campaign because Paul LePage is an everyday American, not a career politician who looks out for every Mainer who works", says Anderson.
"Paul just has a presence about himself that I like", said Gauthier. "We need strong leadership in this state right now during the times we're in. We really need good leadership and I believe Paul's gonna do it."
LePage says he hasn't yet figured out a strategy as his campaign takes a big leap forward. But whatever he does he'll be sticking to his populist message.

Whether you're visiting Sofia for the weekend or for a week, this church simply has to be top of your sightseeing list. It is easily one of the most awe-inspiring monuments in the whole of Bulgaria. Massive and impressively ornate, the Aleksander Nevski Church was built between 1882 and 1912. The reason behind its build was to commemorate the 20,000 Russian soldiers who died fighting for Bulgaria's independence.
These wonderful gardens lie just south of the centre of Sofia. Statues and seamlessly endless flower beds fill this park to the brim. The perfect location for a relaxing afternoon or - if you're feeling more energised - a morning run, you'll find monuments and stadiums in here, too. Perhaps the best monument is the Mound of Bortherhood, built during communist times in 1956 and it features sky-scraping obelisks and socialist iconography.
This fascinating museum is located in what was once a mosque. Fans of all things ancient history won't be able to leave until they've seen the vast collections Thracian, Roman and medieval artefacts. The museum showcases just how wealthy some of these old nations were. Some of the museum's highlights include a mosaic floor, Thracian burial artefacts and masks and gold statues.
Elegant and ornate, these mineral baths are one of Sofia's best kept secrets. Also known as the Turkish Baths, there is nothing more relaxing than having one of these five-step soaks. Located in what was once a medieval church, you're surrounded by rich social history and delicate facades as your skin is scraped, oiled, massaged and put back into a very clean shape. Make a day of it by visiting the local art exhibitions next door.
Sofia feels distinctly regal and there's nothing more regal than the city's Royal Palace. The palace was originally built as part of the Ottoman police force's headquarters. The palace has particular resonance in Sofia's social history because Vasil Kevski, a Bulgarian hero, was tried here before his execution. After the Russians liberated Sofia and the wider area, the palace was recaptured and turned into a royal residence. Hit three birds with one stone by visiting - the city's National Art Gallery and Ethnographical Museum are located inside it.

Sofia houses some of Bulgaria's largest museums. Cultural entertainment sits at the heart of the city, with cinema and theatre dominating. Sofia leads the way in Europe for performing arts, with the National Opera and Ballet of Bulgaria boasting some of the world's most famous dancers and singers. Many international artists have performed here too, including Rammstein, Rihanna, George Michael, AC/DC and Sting.

It's not broken, so don't try to fix it
Sunday afternoon, we witnessed one of the year's finest hours of sports programming.
Teams and fan bases across the country sat on edge — some awaiting their seeding, some awaiting their fate — as CBS unveiled the NCAA Tournament's 65-team field, one agonizing team at a time.
It was compelling theater, watching Minnesota rejoice after getting in, or sympathizing with those whose bubble had burst like Virginia Tech and Illinois.
Too bad it's all about to disappear.
Very soon — maybe not next year, maybe not the year after that, but soon — the field will expand, likely to 96 teams, according to various media reports.
CBS has an 11-year, $6 billion contract with the NCAA for tournament rights, but the deal gives the NCAA an opt-out clause for the final three years, if it acts by July 31.
The NCAA (which never met a cash grab it didn't like) is reportedly considering its options.
They likely include moving the tournament to ESPN and/or expanding the tournament, possibly to 96 teams — giving the top 32 teams a bye, while adding an extra round for the other 64 teams, to be played on Tuesday and Wednesday before whittling the field to 64 for the usual Thursday-Sunday opening weekend.
This is the worst expansion since "The Brady Bunch" added Cousin Oliver.
Compared to this, putting CFL teams in Shreveport and San Antonio looks positively inspired.
The NCAA Tournament's beauty is its exclusivity. In today's "everybody plays, everybody gets a trophy" sports world, making March Madness still means something.
Expand the field, and you're taking down March's velvet rope, letting all the schlubs with untucked shirts and grease-stained jeans join.
According to a Birmingham News projection, middling .500 teams like St. John's, Arizona, Cincinnati, North Carolina and Texas Tech would make the field, along with substandard mid-majors like Illinois State and Indiana State.
There's a time and a place for those teams to display their wares in March.
It's 9 p.m. Wednesday night — the first round of the NIT on ESPN2.
(By the way, if you're an NIT fan, it's owned by the NCAA, and would disappear in this plan).
Do I feel bad for Mississippi State, which came within 0.1 seconds of upsetting No.1-seed Kentucky and clinching an automatic berth?
Or Virginia Tech, which was left out despite 23 wins (10 in the ACC), done in by a Charmin-soft non-conference slate?
At some point, though, you must draw the line before the tournament becomes a straight money-grab, and a boring one at that.
Do you have any interest in spending Tuesday watching first-round tilts like Charlotte-Marshall or Cincinnati-William & Mary?
After years of fans railing for a college football playoff, the NCAA is watering down its own biggest cash cow, adding the hoops equivalent of the Eagle Bank Bowl, Independence Bowl and New Mexico Bowl all rolled into one nauseating package.
I trust the NCAA to do the right thing, well, never, but here's hoping they realize a mistake before it's too late.
