Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. This reaction requires the presence of a phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the insulin receptor.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a protein kinase, any enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a protein substrate.
Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate.
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins.
Any process that initiates the activity of the inactive enzyme protein kinase B.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an insulin stimulus. Insulin is a polypeptide hormone produced by the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas in mammals, and by the homologous organs of other organisms.
A series of molecular signals in which a signal is conveyed from the cell surface to trigger the apoptotic death of a cell. The pathway starts with either a ligand binding to a cell surface receptor, or a ligand being withdrawn from a cell surface receptor (e.g. in the case of signaling by dependence receptors), and ends when the execution phase of apoptosis is triggered.
The aggregation and bonding together of a set of components to form a focal adhesion, a complex of intracellular signaling and structural proteins that provides a structural link between the internal actin cytoskeleton and the ECM, and also function as a locus of signal transduction activity.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of detection of, or exposure to, a hyperosmotic environment, i.e. an environment with a higher concentration of solutes than the organism or cell.
The process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
Any process that decreases the rate or extent of cardiac cell apoptotic process, a form of programmed cell death induced by external or internal signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases whose actions dismantle a cardiac muscle cell and result in its death.
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of protein kinase activity.
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of toll-like receptor signaling pathway.
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of any TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway.

Barclays Settles Second LIBOR Mis-Selling Case
A View from Constantine Cannon's London Office
By Natalia Mikolajczyk
Barclays confirmed on Friday that it has settled another case alleging that it mis-sold LIBOR-tied derivative products.
The lawsuit was filed by Domingos Da Silva Teixeira (DST), a family-owned construction and property company based in Braga, Portugal. As reported by the Financial Times, DST alleged that the British bank engaged in mis-selling, which involves misrepresenting the characteristics of a product or service, by "repeatedly induc[ing] it to restructure and replace its derivative products."
DST identified 16 allegedly unsuitable derivative transactions, including interest-rate swaps, commodity-based swaps and a foreign-exchange swap. DST sought damages of 11.1 million euros ($15.4 million) in its claim before the Commercial Court in London. Although Barclays has admitted in a June 2012 settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice that it engaged in rigging of LIBOR and EURIBOR, Barclays maintained that DST did not suffer any loss from the manipulation. click here for more »

Recently underachieving by co-writing MILDRED PIERCE with someone named TODD HAYNES, and then putting out the novel RAIN DRAGON, our Master of Ceremonies will be the bodacious and talented, JON RAYMOND. Dean Martin? More like Dreamy Martin.
WITH PERFORMANCES from 2 to 12 minutes long from…
STEVE ALMOND is the author of ten books of fiction and non-fiction, three of which he published himself, because he is sad and masochistic. His memoir CANDYFREAK was a New York Times Bestseller and pretty made him a laughingstock among serious writers. His short stories have appeared in the Best American and Pushcart anthologies. His most recent collection, GOD BLESS AMERICA, was short-listed for The Story Prize and sold, like, five copies. His journalism has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, GQ, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and other big deal places. La-di-da! He also tweets. But only in Portalnd. And only out of his butt.
As a quadruple threat, VIVA LAS VEGAS, is a STRIPPER + AUTHOR + MUSICIAN + ACTRESS and that equals brain and body stimulation to the nth degree. For this show she'll be gracing us with her stripped down Emmylou Harris-esque vocal tones, both by singing as PAULS TOUTONGHI reads, and with some of her own songs. Viva also enjoys patriotic popsicles.
When he runs his fingers through his bangs everyone swoons for the director of SIX DAYS TO AIR: The Making of South Park, ARTHUR BRADFORD. He'll tell the story — interspersed with footage — of one the heart-breakingly funny subjects of a documentary he wrote and directed. He'll also be tall, and make you feel like it's all for you, baby.
You adore this red head as the hilarious, feisty, and whip smart host of LIVE WIRE! RADIO, and as the writer/director of the fantabulous short, STELLA'S FLIGHT….MS. COURTENAY HAMEISTER. Hameister will read in tandem with Almond, creating enough juice-y power to light the Red Light District and set your loins ablaze.
If you like to be hypnotized by a masterful handling of the English language and ice blue eyes — then the author of RED WEATHER and soon-to-be released EVEL KNIEVEL DAYS, PAULS TOUTONGHI — will fulfill all your grammar fantasies. He will be reading a passage from the aforementioned EVEL book, as VIVA LAS VEGAS accompanies him with song.
Via deftly written poetry these two hawt charmers proffer the kind of humor that nibbles your eyelashes and relocates your tiny bones. SARAH BARTLETT + EMILY KENDAL FREY co-authored BABY ON THE SAFE SIDE, and Bartlett also co-authored a MULE-SHAPED CLOUD. FREY authored the award-winning poetry collection, THE GRIEF PERFORMANCE. They'll be reading from their BABY book in tandem. They are on a rampage to put an end to funerial poetry readings — make some noise y'all!
At the last two E4P's you witnessed your own murder as the incomparable JULIA KOBOS slayed you with her hilarious songs, so we had to bring her back to perform a brand new song! Kobos performed in Chicago with Second City, IO, and The Annoyance Theater + Participated in the 2011 Chicago Improv Festival and the 2009 Del Close Marathon in NY. You should probably be fully stretched out before she sings.
He has MORTIFIED you on several occasions regaling tales of his youth from his haungtingly well-written summers spent in Italy…he's GREG GASPERIN. Your body will quiver like jelly on a bus seat as you behold this cat-loving young man lay down a brand new bittersweet and hilarious piece he put together just for this show.
A regular at E4P, MR. JASON ROUSE will steal your heart with a brand new video with pal and collaborator B. FRAYN MASTERS. Rouse writes for LIVE WIRE! RADIO, stars in the band CAKE's MOUSTACHE MAN video, and is a member of the popular sketch group SWEAT. When his hair is slicked back, you can hear doves cry.
As the snazzy producer of E4P and also a regular performer, B. FRAYN MASTERS will saw into your mind with a brand new video with pal and collaborator JASON ROUSE. Master's is the Host of the storytelling series Back Fence PDX, and was once voted Audience Favorite in an air guitar contest. Something on her body was removed while under sedation.

By Laura Raines, Pulse editor
Hospital renovations often start with drawings in an architect's office. But the new rehab-ready stroke unit at Walton Rehabilitation Health System in Augusta also came from the hearts and minds of nurses and therapists who were trying improve care for stroke patients.
"The face of the rehab patient has changed," said Karen Lasher, RN, BSN, MS, CRRN, patient care administrator.
Because of changes in health care delivery, patients who survive debilitating strokes are discharged from acute care hospitals much sooner than in the past.
"We're getting rehab patients four days after they've had a serious stroke," Lasher said. "They have greater medical needs. Their blood pressure may still be fluctuating, for instance.
"These patients don't have the stamina to go down to our gym for therapy. We wanted to do something to help them."
With a renovation at Walton Rehab already in the works, nurses, therapists and other caregivers joined forces to design rooms that cater to the needs of stroke patients.
"It was definitely a team effort with everybody sitting around the table — a brainstorming session among all the people who work with these patients," Lasher said. "The idea of a rehab-ready room was very new to us, and we believe it's a first for our region."
The 18 rooms in the new stroke recovery unit are private and spacious.
"When patients were in semiprivate rooms, they weren't as comfortable," said Linda N. Johnson, OTR-L, ATP. "The new rooms are lovely and they afford patients and their families more privacy, and a quieter, more homelike environment."
Ten similar rooms in a general unit serve patients with spinal cord and other injuries. The blue, green and cream color scheme creates a soothing ambience and windows with wood blinds open to a pleasant view. Each room has a climate control unit and is equipped with a sleep chair that allows a family member to spend the night.
"From the staff's perspective, the room is large enough and has equipment built-in, so we can do therapy with our patients," Johnson said. "Family members can observe, so they can help their patient practice later."
The rooms are equipped with ambulation bars and large mirrors for physical therapy.
"Therapists use the bars to help patients with balance and walking. The mirrors allow patients to see the placement of their feet, which grounds them," Lasher said. "The goal is to help them become as independent as possible."
Occupational therapists find it easier to reteach patients how to groom themselves and to perform other everyday tasks because the rooms' sinks are wheelchair-accessible.
"The soap and paper towel dispenser can be moved to either side of the sink, depending on which side of the patient the stroke affected," Lasher said.
The toilets have grab bars and the bathrooms are roomy enough to allow staff members or family to help patients. The large showers are wheelchair- and stretcher-accessible and break away in case of an emergency.
"The staff really appreciates the lifts built into the ceiling that help us move patients from the bed to [a] wheelchair or from the chair to a standing position," Johnson said. "It's much easier to do therapy when don't have to bring that kind of equipment into the room."
Patients generally stay two to four weeks at Walton Rehab, spending much of that time in the gym working with therapists.
"Being with other patients helps them reintegrate into society, so therapists will get them to the gym as soon as possible," Lasher said. "But having rehab-ready rooms gives patients a softer transition, initially. It's better for them and for the clinicians taking care of them."
Feedback from patients and families has been postive.
"A nurse told me that the reaction of one patient was, 'What did I do to deserve this?' That made me want to cry, because the whole idea was to make life better for patients and their caregivers," Lasher said.
Johnson said that while the rooms foster better physical care, they also make an emotional impact.
"Patients can be depressed because of their conditions, but when they have a beautiful place to work at getting better, a place where they aren't encroaching on anyone else's space… just a little thing like that can make them smile," she said. "That's what rehab is all about — helping them get better."

The Chicago Bears have been desperate for a pass catching tight end in recent years and they've finally found one in Martellus Bennett. That's why there was such a grave concern when Bennett hurt himself in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, though, it appears all will be okay.
Bennett is known to be a bit excessive in everything that he does, which could stretch into his explanation of injuries in which he suggested he 'messed up his shoulder pretty bad' during a second quarter circus catch (you can watch that here).
To add insult to injury (literally), Bennett's catch, amazing as it was, was out of bounds and he fell (slightly) onto a cameraman who was posted up in the endzone, though the injury seemed more from the hit with the ground than the innocent cameraman.
Bennett left the game for a while before returning and is expected to play in Week Three.
Per Rich Campbell:
Trestman: Martellus Bennett (right shoulder) is expected to play Sunday
He might be a bit sore, but, doesn't appear to be anything lingering, thankfully.

The family of hallucinogens includes drugs that induce a distortion
of reality in the user, including alterations of sensory perceptions
of sight and sounds as well as changes in emotions. Lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD) is the prototypical hallucinogen. It is an odorless
and tasteless synthetic chemical, usually ingested as a solution
or dissolved on paper or sugar cubes. Typical hallucinogenic doses
are 25–75 micrograms. Analogous lysergic acid derivatives
can be extracted from morning glory seeds and ergot, a rye fungus.
In 2005, annual use among twelfth graders was 1.8%. Among tenth
graders, annual use was 1.5% (National Institute on Drug Abuse 2005a).

I'm in for two or three sacks with some splits of specialty and Simmich said he'll be in for a sack of Marris. I will know what I want by the morning. So save some room.
You know I'll be there to help!!

TEAMS: Detroit Lions, Boise State Broncos
The Detroit Lions have released wide receiver Titus Young. The team made the announcement Monday. It wasn't much of a surprise. ''If y'all going to cut me let me go,'' Young posted on his Twitter account last month. ''I'm tired of the threats.'' An email seeking comment was sent to Young on Monday. Young was banished from the team in November for what Jim Schwarz called unacceptable behavior and was later put on injured reserve. Young was also told to stay away from the team during its last offseason for punching teammate Louis Delmas when the safety wasn't looking. Detroit drafted Young out of Boise State in 2011 and he had 48 receptions for 607 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. His production dropped off last season.

Please keep Ukraine in your prayers during these critical moments in history. We are saddened to hear of bloodshed and rage-filled outbursts. May God's peace and restoration come to Ukraine. Pray for continued religious freedom. On a positive note, our missionaries report that many peosple have turned their hearts to God and prayer during these turbulent times. Churches are filled with people. Christians of different denominations unite in special prayers for their country.
A Missionary Bible School has been started at «Good Samaritan» Mission in Rivne, Ukraine (director Rostislav Borishkevich). This three-month Missionary Bible School will be held from March to May 2014. About 25 students have eagerly started classes and express their desire to work on the mission field. Please pray for the organization of the school, the teachers and students, and peace in the city. There is a need for funding for this school. Any gifts for this project will be greatly appreciated.
On June 6-8, 2014, a Missionary Conference will be held in Rivne. We will be celebrating 25 years of «Good Samaritan Ministries» in Ukraine. This event is more than a celebration, however. Many missionaries will be coming to this conference to renew themselves spiritually, to share their experiences, report on the work they have been investing into, and finally, to inspire others to get plugged in to do missions work. After the conference, Peter Radchuk and other missionaries will be holding a series of evangelistic services, visiting missionary stations and orphanages in Ukraine.
In November of 2014, we will be hosting our Annual Missionary Conference. This year marks the 20th anniversary of God's grace over our ministry. Prayers of thanksgiving will be said for: thousands of souls finding hope and salvation in God; children receiving shelter in an orphanage or home where Jesus is Lord; missionaries enabled to dedicate themselves fultime to ministry thanks to regular financial support.
In the month of December, a missionary trip to India is planned. We desire to visit churches, christian centers and orphanages; to hold seminars for ministers and youth; and to support the local churches in various parts of India. These trips always bring great joy to minisry staff and members, because God's blessing and and wonderous works are so vividly demonstated.
Early January of this year, during the Christmas festivities, Christians and missionaries in Pryluky (E.Ukraine), gathered together for a series of Christmas services. In one of the meetings at our Christian Center, about 100 children were in attendance, most of which were from public schools. A special holiday performance was prepared by Sunday School children from our «Good Samaritan» Mission in Rivne (W.Ukraine).
Several Christian brothers from Rivne came to visit the Christian Center in Pryluky and expressed their desire to help with the ongoing reconstruction of the building, which was formerly used for military housing. With their help, a large dining room was finished. It will be used for feeding youth and missionaries during conferences, seminars and events. The space will also be used for holding various meetings and children's VBS - day camps in the summer.
Over the past several months, believers from Slavic churches in America anxiously watched the events that unfolded in Ukraine. Without interfering in the political situation, many churches - both in Ukraine and in America, prayed to the Lord to stop the bloodshed and allow peace to reign. Apostle Paul writes in his letter to Timothy
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:1-4)
This is the will of God and as Christians in the last days; we need to follow biblical principles.
All Christians in Ukraine were united together in prayer during the events that took place on Maydan and in other Ukrainian cities. In the city of Pryłuky, an Interfaith Prayer for Peace in Ukraine and for the rulers, took place. In addition to the ministers of the Protestant denominations, representatives from the Catholic and Orthodox churches were present. In the main church and in the local villages, many Christians were fasting and praying before the Lord, asking for mercy for the people of Ukraine.
Pastor Vitaliy Gavula who is in charge of the ministry in Pryluky said the following:
People who have experienced the great shock associated with the Ukrainian revolution, have become more open to God's Word. Many, even non-believers, prayed to God in homes, churches, and in the public squares. I do not want to miss this God-given opportunity to bring the Gospel to the hearts of the Ukrainian people, so in the spring/summer period, missionaries from Pryluky plan to hold a series of public evangelistic services on the street or in a tent.
Seizing the opportunity, I have a great desire to thank the people in America for their prayers. Praise the Lord that the Christian people in America, living in peace and prosperity, do not remain indifferent to what is happening. Thank you for the financial support! We sincerely pray to God for you, that your faith will be alive, so that you do not worship God according to the customs but earnestly from your heart!"
After graduating from Bible School, young missionary families are sent to Ukrainian settlements to share about the love of Christ. The family of Nikolay and Galina Kononchuk have been ministering in the city Ichnya and the surrounding villages for more than 12 years now. Because of faithful financial support, they are able to be a light to the people by living among them and serving them daily.
"Our family always thanks God that you support us by prayer and financially. God bless you! We continue to minister in Ichnya, as well as in villages Andrievka and Zaudayka. A church has been started in the village Zaudayka. We go there twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays. On Sunday morning, I lead the service there, and then travel back to Ichnya to minister there. This arrangement creates some difficulties and inconveniences, so we are praying for a minister for that village church.
We also try to visit a nursing home in Krupychpole no less than once a month. We share the Gospel and the residents are always happy to receive us.
We continue to preach the Gospel through radio broadcasting. Thanks to the radio, there is an opportunity to share the gospel with a large audience of listeners. There is threat that the regional radio may be shut down, so we pray that God will continue to make this opportunity for spreading the Word available.
Earlier this year, we held a series of evangelistic meetings in schools of Ichnya - three schools and a college. During the lessons of Christian Ethics, we preached Christ and encouraged young people to abstain from alcohol and drugs and warned them of the effects of other sins. This message was especially strengthened by a testimony of former drug addict of 20 years. He has found freedom in Christ! Let us introduce you to this brother - Boris. 12 years ago, having just arrived to Ichnya, we witnessed to Boris about God and prayed for him. We were filled with joy when we found out that years later he was undergoing rehabilitation at a center for drug addicts. After rehabilitation, brother Boris stayed at the center to minister to those seeking freedom from dependence. He's been walking with the Lord for nearly four years now, preaching about salvation and freedom through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
In cooperation with the Gideons International ministry, we passed our the New Testaments to all educational institutions in the district. That means dozens of schools, a college, and thousands of students, teachers and staff received the Gospel message. Of course, we met some resistance, but thanks be to God for giving us wisdom in how to deal in such situations. Our prayer is that those who received the distributed New Testaments will accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
We thank God for you and wish you abundant blessings!"
- Missionaries Nikolay and Galina Kononchuk

KWCR's 'Moment of Silence' goes global By Peter Avion Managing Editor The Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe (RFE), and the British News Service (BNS) were the most recent additions to the list of stations who participated in yesterday's historic "Moment of Silence" first proposed by Weber State's own KWCR FM-88. "We were covered around the globe," said KWCR Station Manager Gary Toyn, .explaining how the, demonstration went global. "VOA had us covered west to east, from Washington to China, RFE had us covered east to west, from New York to the Eastern Bloc countries. Our story was around the globe in 42 languages," Toyn continued. The memoriam for the dead Chinese demonstrators began as an idea of Toyn's, who then called friends at other campuses in the western region to gauge their reaction. From there it bloomed into a nationwide I lie UUI hS V C4rCtl 1 1 homes near Weber State College By Clark Hurd Photographer A brush fire burned over two acres of ground on the north-east end of the Weber Statecampus Tuesday, June 27 at about4:30 p.m., and caused damage to one home. Over twenty firefighter from the Ogden City Police Department, Weber Fire District, and the National Forest Service fought the blaze that spread up to the Mount Ogden Golf Course pushed by gusting winds, and sprayed down surrounding areas to keep the flames from reaching local homes. The firefighters were hampered by rugged terrain and a lack of fire hydrants in the undeveloped area. Mrs. Theisen, of 1570 Kingston, on the edge of the blaze, said her husband noticed the heat in the house and went out side to see 35 foot flames coming from' the old WSC president's home site, which burnt down 10-14 years ago. She used a garden hose to water down their property until the fire department arrived. Mrs. Choumos, of Kingston Circle said she turned her yard sprinklers on. "It came pretty close to burning our house down," she said. "The college should clean the brush and leaves up." Merlon and Ruth Stevenson were up wind of the fire.

However, as of yesterday's broadcast, there were over 2,800 stations committed, with more expected to pick it up at the last minute, according to Toyn. "It's unbelievable. I just can't believe how many people have picked up on it," Toyn said, explaining how KSL-TV and KUTV both aired stories on their Sunday night newscasts. On the local front, participant stations included: KALL, KANN, KBER, KBYU, KCPX, KDAB, KDYL, KEMX, KGFI, KJQ, KKAT, KLO, KLCY, KLZX, KMGR, KRPN (WKRP), KUER, KUSW (a global short wave radio station whose broadcast originates in Utah), KUTR, KVFM, KVNU, and KZQQ, among others, said Toyn. As of this writing, Toyn expected KSL radio and KZHT to also join, but he had not received confirmation of their participation. Of the Wasatch Front stations, "KISN is the only one who said 'absolutely not'," Toyn noted. According to Toyn, Gary "Wooley" Waldren of KISN, told him, "we don't believe we should be turning off our transmitter for every little thing that comes along." Calls were made to KISN and Waldren in an effort to validate this statement, but were not returned. Subsequent calls to the station went unanswered.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

NEW VIDEO! Most everyone has noticed the wide swath of internet websites that have been blacked out in protest of the pending PIPA / SOPA legislation in congress, but not as many people understand exactly why those bills are such a problem.
This short documentary explores PIPA and SOPA, how the bills work, who's behind them, and why all internet users have reason to be concerned.
Please help us by SHARING THIS VIDEO and spreading the word about PIPA / SOPA.
The fight to prevent online censorship in the U.S. is far from over. While SOPA's future seems increasingly bleak, PIPA has not been pulled from consideration in the senate, where it will be up for a vote later this month.
It is important to understand that PIPA has the same fundamental problems of SOPA. It is NOT a compromise bill; at this point, it is little more than a legislative strategy to abandon the SOPA branding in favor of PIPA.
Both bills contain vague language and reach too broadly, threatening free speech and innovation on the web. Both institute a private right of action for companies to block access to infringing content without due process. Both contain an immunity clause to protect these companies from legal consequence if they make mistakes. And both set the wrong global precedent by encouraging other countries to censor the internet based on their own domestic laws.
While President Obama is opposed to the DNS-blocked mechanisms proposed in the bills, the language still exists. As well, Obama has not come against the legislation itself, nor has he signaled his intention to veto the legislation if it passes. These bills don't need to be fixed, they need to be scrapped.
Currently, PIPA or a similar bill have a real chance of passing. But you can help to stop them:
Tell them you oppose PIPA, SOPA, and any other form of internet censorship.
And join hundreds of others like Wikipedia and Reddit in protesting these bills.
Help spread the word that The News won't.

Tom Walker/Eyewitness News
Washington - This could be a year when every vote will matter in Indiana - and how votes are counted is still a hot topic.
Some states are junking their touch-screen electronic machines and going back to paper ballots. Activists for voter rights are among those pushing for a plan to verify votes are counted accurately.
"This is actually very healthy, that voters are waking up and saying we want a more accountable system and I think we should be encouraging that," said Barbara Arnwine of the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights.
A proposal on Capitol Hill would require states using electronic systems to have some way to double check their accuracy and to audit the vote in federal elections.
Some, like Indiana Secretary of State Tod Rokita, see problems.
"The technology doesn't exist," Rokita said. "I mean, we really are talking 'Star Wars' here."
Indiana's top elections official told senators that conducting what amounts to a recount of elections, whether close or not, could cost millions. He says machines are not the issue.
"And I maintain that if you have a well-trained pollworker and you have a good process, you're going to have a good election," Rokita said.
Others argue the technology already exists for creating a paper trail of every vote cast.
"There's been study after study that says the best way to secure electronic voting machines or electronic counting is with the use of paper ballots," said Voter Action's Susan Greenhalgh.
A new compromise plan on Capitol Hill stops short of requiring a paper record of every vote cast, but elections officials say it still puts a highly unreasonable burden on the states that they would have to pay for.
A Senate proposal would require states to comply by the presidential election in 2012.

text: Charlie Ahearn's celebrated hip-hop docu-drama is still the most authentic account of the creative crucible in late '70s/early '80s South Bronx. The story of graffiti god 'Zoro' and his battle to stay true to his art is clunky-charming and works as a wily guide to early, underground hip-hop – before it mutated into today's mainstream mush of glossy R&B. Ahearn shows where rap, scratch and sampling came from – raucous club parties soundtracked by vinyl breakbeats as MC crews bark out improv street poetry. Freed from ironic distance, it's possible to see breakdance and body-popping as a dazzling, multi-racial dance-craze borne from street-corner nervous energy. There's also the birth of bling, in a fine sequence where a bubbly-guzzling Zoro is ferried to a predatory art dealer's flat in the back of a limo. Coolest commentary ever, too: with director Ahearn sitting back as MC Fab Five Freddy jabbers out a potted history of hip-hop.

What Would Jesus Do About Gentrification?
Telling Stories About Appalachia: An Interview With Adam Booth About Poverty Culture and Storytelling
Cities Cutting Property Taxes to Help Longtime Residents Affected by Gentrication
A burst of new home construction in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and other cities have caused neighborhoods in those cities to quickly gentrify, and if you are a longtime resident and homeowner in those cities, it's possible that you've seen the value of your home skyrocket as much as four times in a single year. Great, right? Not exactly. Not if you can no longer afford the property taxes and don't want to sell your house. The Times reports that cities are mobilizing to help their longtime residents affected by gentrification by giving them cuts on their property taxes—which alleviates the burden among longtime residents, but will ultimately affect each city's annual revenue. Still, the cities believe investing in longtime residents is worth it:
The tax adjustments are part of a broader strategy by cities to aid homeowners — who continue to struggle financially since the home mortgage crisis. In Richmond, Calif., lawmakers are attempting to use eminent domain to seize underwater mortgages to try to help homeowners keep their houses.
Housing experts say the arrival of newcomers to formerly working-class areas — from the Mission District in San Francisco to the Shaw neighborhood in Washington — is distinct from previous influxes over the past 30 years because new residents are now far more likely to choose to move into new condominiums or lofts instead of into existing housing, making the changes more disruptive.
The San Francisco Squeeze
San Francisco has the least affordable housing in the nation, with just 14 percent of homes accessible to middle-class buyers, said Jed Kolko, chief economist at the real estate website Trulia. The median rent is also the highest in the country, at $3,250 a month for a two-bedroom apartment.
"Affordable housing projects are constructed, and the money set aside for that purpose is used, but the demand is just far greater than what can be supplied," said Fred Brousseau of the city budget and legislative analyst's office. Evictions under a provision of state law that allows landlords to evict rent-controlled tenants if they convert a building for sale have more than tripled in the past three years, just as they did during the first tech boom.
To Yelly Brandon, a 36-year-old hairstylist, and her boyfriend, Anthony Rocco, an archivist, the obstacles to finding housing became clear when they spent two months searching for an apartment. At open houses, they said, they were competing with young tech workers, who offered more than the asking price and cash up front.
"People were just throwing money in the air," Ms. Brandon said.
In the Times, Erica Goode and Claire Cain Miller report about the "backlash by the bay"—how the middle- and working-classes are increasingly being pushed out by tech workers with big bank accounts. Neighborhoods like the Mission District, a once heavily Hispanic working-class neighborhood, has seen a dramatic change. But some of the changes are less about luxury apartment buildings and moneyed residents like Mark Zuckerberg buying homes in the area:
And they grumble about less tangible things: an insensitivity in interactions in stores and on the street, or a seeming disregard for neighborhood traditions. The annual Day of the Dead procession, meant to be solemn, has turned into a rowdy affair that many newcomers seem to view as a kind of Mexican Halloween.
Kevin Starr, professor of history and policy, planning and development at the University of Southern California describes the biggest problem with pushing middle and working class families out of the city: "You can't have a city of just rich people. A city needs restaurant workers, a city needs schoolteachers, a city needs taxi drivers."

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
---- THE LATEST BUZZ ---- (9/19/14) Orlando Eye Construction Update (MORE...) (9/8/14) Orlando Eye / I-Drive 360 Update (MORE...) (9/3/14) Holy Land Experience Free Today (MORE...) (8/25/14) Orlando Eye Spokes Going In / Old Town Removing Rides
Click Here for a summary of Now Open 2013 Attractions
Central Florida News - (9/3/14) Orlando… prepare yourself. Today, Wednesday, Sept. 3rd, is the day that the Holy Land Experience theme park is free to all guests. If you plan on going, entry is on a first-come basis, and the park will fill up fast. If you have to travel near it, be prepared for bad traffic in the area to affect your morning drive. The hours listed on the website for the free day are 10am to 6pm. (8/25/14) Well I'm a bit shocked, but this move may be for the best. Old Town in Kissimmee announced on Facebook over the weekend that due to their next phase of growth and improvement, the classic amusement rides have now been closed and will soon be removed to make way for the expansion. However, the Go-karts, Laser Tag, Arcade, Shooting Gallery and the haunted house will all remain. Essentially this means the entire rear rides area will be removed and most of the front side attractions. This should not include the Sling Shot attraction near the front of Old Town next to Checkers, as I believe that is someone else's property. (7/30/14) The Orlando Sentinel reports that The Crayola Experience, a new interactive attraction, will open at The Florida Mall in 2015 inside the two-level space currently occupied by Nordstrom. While it will feature a public retail shop area, the attraction itself will be a hard ticket attraction expected to last several hours. While it wont take up the entire Nordstrom space, the 70,000 sqft. attraction will take up about half of it, while another yet to be announced store will take up the other half. (7/24/14) According to Behind the Thrills the 2014 ICE event at the Gaylord Palms will be themed to the Nutcracker. (7/10/14) If you are in Florida on July 14th, you might want to consider heading out to the Kennedy Space Center to view the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9, currently slated for 9:21am. "The Visitor Complex will open early at 7:30 a.m. to accommodate launch viewing opportunities and provide the closest possible public viewing area: the Apollo/Saturn V Center inside Kennedy Space Center." Admission to the Visitor Complex is $50 for adults and $40 for children (3-11) and they will start boarding busses to the Apollo/Saturn V Center starting at 7:30am. (6/10/14) It seems the plans for the proposed iSquare hotel/mall concept (See our 5/3/14 story below) is undergoing some tweaking to reduce it in size after running into some size / density limits from the city. Look for a revised press release about the new version of the concept to be released later this year. (5/5/14) ThemeParkUniversity checks out a new sub-zero Ice Bar that has opened at Pointe Orlando called "Minus 5". While I'm not fond of the cold, I have to say that this looks like a classy place, with some fantastic frozen decor! Definately something I'll have to try the next time I'm in town and have a chance. (5/3/14) Artwork for the unique looking iSquare Mall and Hotel planned to replace a strip-mall at the north end of I-Drive and Kirkman, were put on display this last week. It is a large 31-story tall structure that will include an observation tower looking structure, with a rotating restaurant at the top, a mall area full of retail and dining opportunities as well as over 1,250 guests rooms. If you are like me, you may have jumped at seeing the initial artwork of the tower portion of the project, as it looks similar to the promised PolerCoaster project that came out in November, that unfortunately still remains as vaporware. Sorry, this isn't the PolerCoaster folks… it remains a mystery. (4/10/14) I poke fun at the Holy Land theme park in Orlando from time to time, because hey… I like I good joke every now and then, and the religious attraction is often an easy ripe target. The reality is that the park does have quite stunning architecture, themed structures, and some very high quality decor… but as you will see in the stunning photo trip report posted to the Theme Park Review forum, the park is also marred by crazy looking cardboard cutout character photo op spots throughout as well as some very questionable placement of odd animal statues that include a flying shark, roman soldiers with giraffes, and cohabiting polar bears and penguins. (Mass hysteria!!) This trip report has it all, humor and beautiful scenery and essentially a really a good look all around the park itself if you have ever wondered just what it was like inside, but were not willing to pay the $45 a head price. Fair warning: if you lack a sense of humor when it comes to religion however, this may not be the proper park review you are looking for. (3/17/14) Ever been curious about what you get to see from those Helicopter tours over Orlando? Check out the video below to see what you can see, from a head-mounted Go-Pro camera, during your tour over the area's theme parks.
2013 - Hard Knocks: Pointe Orlando - Now Open - (8/4/13) Orlando warriors… a new Hard Knocks location is now open. You may recall us mentioning Hard Knocks some time ago when they opened their first indoor urban themed laser combat arena over in Orlando's University district, far away from the prying eyes of tourists. Now I'm happy to report that they have opened a brand new facility right in the heart of Pointe Orlando on I-Drive. They feature different themed 'Indoor War' combat arenas and weapon types, based on real world weapons. Add into the mix one of over 70 different combat mission and you will certainly find each experience different and challenging. Look up all the details at the official website. I look forward to trying this one out myself the next time I visit Orlando.
2013 - Legends Dark Amusements - (7/7/14) The Legends haunt in Old Town will celebrate the Full Moon on July 12th with a little something extra called "Legends: A Howling in Old Town: Full Moon Fury". Yep, a special wild and wooly haunting to unleash Werewolves has been planned as yet another reason to keep the new Haunt fresh and alive with new ideas and special one-night only themed haunt events, such as the special Friday the 13th event they held last month. Head over to Behind the Thrills for additional details on what you can expect to find, and be sure to watch the teaser video below as well.
Early 2014 - I-Drive Indoor Kart Racing - (7/23/13) The OBJ reports that a new indoor go-kart racing attraction will come to International Drive by the name of I-Drive Indoor Kart Racing. The $5 million attraction is said to be state of the art and will offer something not seen on I-Drive before. Construction will begin next month and they hope to open as early as January 2014. When finished, the attraction will feature a two-level building with a half-mile go-kart track, bowling lanes, arcade as well as several food and beverage options build inside an existing warehouse structure about a block behind I-Drive on Vanguard St, across I-Drive from the Sonic. (11/30/12) Information from the city of Orlando regarding a planned new Indoor Go Kart attraction one block back from the northern section of I-Drive can be found here. Looks like someone wants to renovate an old warehouse building just outside the Tanglo Park neighborhood, across the street from the Sonic on I-Drive. The ironic thing is that this site is across the opposite corner from the property once proposed for the Orlando Thrill Park.
October 2014 - Artegon Orlando (Re-Launch of Festival Bay) - Under Construction - (4/14/14) It will always be Festival Bay to me, but for some reason they have decided to rename the odd mall at the northern end of I-Drive as "Artegon Orlando". Along with the new name comes the promise of new and interesting tenants as the mall prepares for a grand reopening celebration in October 2014. According to the report at MouseSteps, Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill will open at Artegon in May. Other new items on the way to join the mix of existing tenents (Fuddruckers, Bass Pro Shops' Outdoor World, Ron Jon's and the Cinemark theater) is a Berghoff German Beer Hall that will open between Fuddruckers and Toby Keith's, a new high end bowling alley concept called "Revolutions Eat Drink Rock & Bowl", as well as the plans previously mentioned on Screamscape to reopen the old Vans Skatepark as the new Radbourne Skatepark. (10/12/13) While the project was delayed and missed the promised Spring 2013 opening, I've been led to believe the former Vans Skatepark will reopen under the Radbourne name sometime in 2014 with some new surprises. (12/19/12) The Vans Skatepark at Festival Bay that closed back in Janaury 2012 will soon reopen. A new group is coming in to take over and will reopen it as Radbourne Skatepark at Festival Bay in March 2013. They report that the attraction will be reinvented and improved to be even better than it was before.
2015 - Orlando Eye / Madame Tussauds / I-Drive 360 - (9/19/14) A local area reader send in a couple of new images of the Orlando Eye under construction this week. See below... (9/8/14) The latest peek at the Orlando Eye and I-Drive 360 site can be found over at PixelsAtTheParks.
2015 - All Aboard Florida: High Speed Orlando/Miami Rail Service - Planning - (6/20/12) All Aboard Florida has begun talks with Orlando International Airport about becoming the first rail system to link up to the busy airport through a new inter modal station facility that could eventually accomidate up to four rail line connections to the airport. Florida's SunRail line also has long term plans to eventually connect to OIA in the future as well. The airport's rail station would also serve as a terminal midpoint for an automated rail to connect the existing Orlando terminal complex with the proposed South Terminal building, whenever they deed it necessary to go ahead with that project. (3/23/12) In an interesting Florida travel industry development has come to light today with the announcement of a plan to build a privately owned and operated passenger rail service line that would run from Miami to Orlando called All Aboard Florida. The route take advantage of 200 miles of existing tracks that run from Miami to Cocoa Beach, and then built 40 miles of new tracks to run inland from there to Orlando. Long term planning also sees the line expanding to the North to connect to Jacksonville and to the West to connect to Tampa. The $1 billion dollar plan will see thousands of jobs created and hopes to begin service as early as 2014, with the trip expected to take about 3 hours in each direction. While this will help people move around the area for both business and vacation travel, I'm curious where the end station in Orlando would be located. Will they construct their own depot off by itself or try to link up to someplace more convenient for area travelers, such as the Orlando International Airport? It's something worth keeping an eye on for sure, especially as increasing gas prices show no sign of stopping.
2016 - Skyscraper at the SKYPLEX - Confirmed - (6/6/14) Skyscraper Skyplex was officially announced on Thursday morning, and will indeed be located just about where I said it would off the North/East corner of the I-Drive and Sand Lake intersection. Officially the name will be "The Skyscraper at SKYPLEX", with the Skyscraper as the coaster and the SKYPLEX as the entire complex, who is being created by the owners of the soon to open Mango's Tropical Café Orlando and the existing Mango's Tropical Café South Beach. The entire site is 12 acres, after the Wallacks managed to purchase five contiguous sites to merge together for the SKYPLEX, including 300 feet along I-Drive itself.
???? - Mystery Theme Park / Resort Project on former Lockheed Property - Status Unknown - (12/14/13) I really don't know if the group of which I'm about to write is involved or not, but I do have to wonder if a couple of artificial shell companies may have some kind of involvement with Orlando's new mystery park/resort project on the former Lockheed property. It was pointed out to me that what almost seems to be a shell company called Information Architects who has no previous history in the amusement sector, has out of the blue purchased all of the assets of another company by the name The Dakota Creative Group, LLC and their plans for an unknown new theme park project (with 5 custom ride concepts) resort hotels, retail opportunities and an 18-hole golf course. The scope of the project certainly seems to match the size of the Lockheed property filing, but the hole goes much deeper. For starters I can find almost no information on a "The Dakota Creative Group, LLC", and what little information that is out there indicates that the company was only 1 month old before selling off all their assets to Information Architects. A single month hardly seems like enough time to come up with an entire resort project of this scope. Meanwhile information on Information Architects doesn't reveal much more, other than that the company has obtained a "High Level Consultant" by the name of "Scotty Roberts" (publisher of Intrepid Magazine, artist and author) to head their first "Destination Theme Park Resort" project. Information Architects also claims to have an Orlando address, but the physical location listed (7625 Chapelhill Drive, Orlando, FL 32819) is a residence inside the Sandpointe Townhomes community in the Dr. Phillips area. Googling the list of current company directors show zero amusement industry experience in their past that I can find, instead showing links like insurance settlements, a CPA, real estate dealings and portfolio fund management. The listed company website (AI.com) only pops up with a plain and non-descriptive homepage with what appears to be a UK based contact number rather than an US contact. A "Whois" record pull of the website database shows that all real world information about the owners is hidden by registering for the domain through an Arizona based proxy company. Googling the UK phone number on the AI.com site comes up with hits as the contact for other equally non-descriptive websites like DAR.com and FSP.COM amongst others. AI's corporate past goes back to the 90's, but under other names such as Gem Technologies and Alydaar Software Corp., who have an interesting history of business outside of the amusement sector. Gem was a software company in Connecticut working with the department of defense to standardize computer languages before the program was scrapped and Gem filed bankruptcy in late 1992. The founder started again with Alydaar offering similar services, moved the company to Charlotte in '94 under the name Daar Inc. The company hit it big briefly years later as part of the Y2K technology scramble. The post Y2K world wasn't kind to them as business dried up and by 2002 had changed it's name to Information Architects, and the founder (Robert Gruder, later involved in the stun gun industry) parted ways with the company which no longer has operations in Florida and is now said to be "managed by a Florida company" where it seems to vanish from the headlines after 2002. It is fair to say that the company is a shell of it's former self… and appears as if it may simply be just that, a shell company serving only as the name for business transactions while obscuring the identity of the other companies or private parties who are calling the shots. Keep in mind that as of right now I have no idea if Information Architects is involved at all with the group working on the former Lockheed / Universal property, but there are enough similarities that it is worth keeping them in mind. If any reader happens to know anything more solid about either group, please do fill me in. (12/11/13) Curious to know more about who owns the former Lockheed property? A few of our readers did a little digging to find out what they could. "I checked the 2013 Orange County parcel records and that area is owned by Fourth Quarter Properties 129 LLC, with an owner address of 45 Ansley Dr. Newnan, GA. They are a privately held real estate management company, so I guess I haven't really answered the question. If this means anything, the property is called "UCPM-SITE DEVELOPMENT SOUTH END"." According to another reader, "The owner of the site, is a man named Stan Thomas, he is the head of an investment group called Forth Quarter Properties. This company is on the verge of bankruptcy and owes the state of Florida back taxes for most, if not all of the years since the mid 2000's." They also attached a link from a mid 2012 news story about the tax debt issues at the time. (12/5/13) Is another park project on the way to Orlando? I haven't heard anything about this myself, but ParkScope reports that a section of Universal's old Lockheed property may be looking to be developed once again with a 300 acre theme park, retail and a 663 room hotel. If you don't know the history of the property… all of the land in this area was bought by Universal long ago from Lockheed and required some extensive clean-up of Lockheed's waste products that took years to handle. Universal's vision at the time was to build a couple more parks (one big, one small) down in this general area along with several new hotels, a golf course, retail areas and much more. Unfortunately before they could push ahead with the actual construction of any of this, Universal was bought out by Vivendi, who fell upon hard times and proceeded to cut apart and sell off this property in order to make a quick buck before they sold off the entire company to NBC. From the look of things, this looks to be about the only sections of that property that hasn't been redeveloped as something else already, but is this a sign of a new project or just an echo of old plans coming to light once again? From the look of other documents posted on Orlando United, these are all new and current 2013 documents, which suggests that the owners are trying to get all their ducks in a row as far as the basic zoning use for the property. Who actually OWNS the property now is an entirely new mystery… did this somehow fall back into Universal's hands or there is a new player involved in the marketplace? If anyone has any leads, please do let me know.

???? - AcquaSol - Planning - (3/11/13) The local news reports that new plans are being made for the I-Drive area to build a new and unique attraction featuring snow skiing and snow tubing to Orlando's I-Drive. According to plans uncovered by the local Fox news, the attraction will also include rock climbing, nature trails, a stationary surf wave, a white-water rafting course, kayaking, canoeing, zip lines and more on a 60 acre piece of property. They are calling it AcquaSol and the plans also include a pair of 150-room hotels on the site. Now where will this be located? They are pitching this to be placed on the same piece of property once eyeballed as the location for the proposed "Orlando Thrill Park" in the wooded area that sits between the homes of Tangleo Park and the Festival Bay mall. You can see the plans filed yourself here.

When GT Haus showed up with this Flossman-kitted widebody at the yearly SEMA show in Las Vegas, opinions were mixed. Show attendants tended to either drool or throw up. Those who threw up really only pretended to do so, stating that widebodies only belong on racecars. Those who loved it, well they just ogled it, some of them touching their nether regions. And while it's not a racecar, it looks like one and definitely can't be hurt by the extra grip in the corners from tires and wheels allowed by the extra wide stance.
John Kang is the man responsible for this fat-tracking phenom. He founded GT Haus nine years ago. Primarily an exhaust manufacturer (Meisterschaft systems), GT Haus is also the distributor for other European brands such as Arden, Kreissieg exhausts and Neez wheels from Japan, as well as Flossman products.
Those of you who know your German goods should recognize the body kit as Flossman-derived. The ALMS GT2 widebody kit is based on the Letterman/Rahal racecar that competed successfully in the ALMS in 2008. It consists of front and rear bumpers, front arches, rear quarter panels, side skirts, a CSL-style carbon trunk, and a GT2 vented hood. The entire amalgam of body mods is covered in Lamborghini Balloon White paint and the requisite M-sport stickers.
Not all opinions concerning the E90's widebody are so extreme. Some have said the front arches are too big and tacky and that GTH should have pulled them out to make them flow better with the chassis. Others say the opposite, that the fronts are molded well into the body but the rears are just odd and look out of place. Sitting in the GT Haus SEMA exhibit pretending to take pictures is a great way to eavesdrop and hear the pundit's opinion.
One other industry professional was overheard commenting: My only grievances are with the near-horizontal vents in the rear arches as well as the additional set of vents in the bonnet, she said. Plus, the exhaust is a little awkward and with a kit as brazen as this it needs a spoiler. Since then, the spoiler has been added. Along with that optional GT2-style wing, a vented roof, carbon doors, and a motorsport-style dash are all available for consumption.
Looking like an ALMS racecar doesn't come cheap. This kit will set you back about $12,500. If you'd like to save $2,500, you can opt for the fibe glass version. For that you're getting the front and rear bumpers and the sideskirts. The latter are supposed to bolt straight on while the former require some modification. GT Haus advises that you have an expert on hand if you decide to do it yourself.
If 10 inches wider isn't enough, there's a Flossman GTR kit available. That one isn't so practical for the street, so for those who would like to be able to fit through the drive-through at the local Del Taco there's a milder GT3 version available.
Being constructed of carbon and Kevlar, the kit shown does have some practical advantages. It shaves about 148 pounds off the curb weight. I love the transformation and the fact that we've managed to reduce weight, Kang says. But best of all we've built the world's only street version of the E92 M3 GT2.

Jubilant inhabitants of Soweto attend a mass African National Congress (ANC) rally with freed anti-apartheid leader and African National Congress (ANC) member Nelson Mandela at Orlando Stadium in Soweto, South Africa. The rally is the first for Nelson Mandela after his release from jail a day earlier. Originally the rally was to celebrate the unbanning of the ANC, but turned out to be a celebration for the freedom of Nelson Mandela.

Link: What are the qualifications to apply? - Mars One
I don't qualify: Way too old:
The age range for candidates will be limited. While the exact upper limits have not yet been determined, the lower age limit for applicants to apply for the selection program will be 18 years. By the time this person would land on Mars as an astronaut, he or she would be 28 years of age.
