Portland's teacher led school


As many of you know there are many Maine school districts working to transform their education. In Portland, Superintendent Morse has proposed a comprehensive framework plan to move Portland's school too. In the midst of all of this, Reiche School this year moved from a traditional elementary school with a principal & the hierchary to teacher led school.
At Reiche the organization is made up four committees (climate of the school, enrichment of school, instruction of the school and professional development in the school) made up of teachers, educational technicians, parent representatives and teacher leaders. What do you think?

Help make Portland Public Transportation accessable to everyone

Adopt-A-Stop Looking for Volunteers


With winter right around the corner, don't get caught in the snow waiting for the bus, instead help the community by Adopting-A-Stop. The local volunteer program, Adopt-A-Stop, coordinates volunteers willing to keep an adopted bus stop clear of snow and ice during the winter and debris during the warmer months.

With more than eight hundred and fifty bus stops in the Greater Portland area, volunteers are needed to help ensure access at stops so patrons can easily board the bus. Volunteers who sign-up to clear their neighborhood stop will be provided with a shovel. For more information or to volunteer, visit http://www.adopt-a-stop.org/.

Bright outlook from Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist

Despite those European currency and economic troubles, a possibility of an economic recession in the upcoming year here in the U.S. looks less and less likely.


The key reason is the housing market recovery. After six years of a demoralizing and protracted housing market recession, a light is finally appearing at the end of the tunnel - and it is not a headlight from a freight-train. It is a genuine warm sunny glow. The latest pending home sales index – which reflects contract signings to purchase a home – rose more than 10 percent in October from the previous month and more than 9 percent from one year ago. Because the wide swings in sales related to the homebuyer tax credit are largely over, that year over year increase is a clean jump and not just a rise due to some artificially low comps of the past year. Clearly the data implies something is brewing out there. Yes, there are still cancellation issues related to appraisals, tight underwriting, and other issues. But buyers are evidently recognizing the great opportunity to own real estate and acting accordingly. Let’s examine several of the factors that suggest the worst is over.

BUTTERSCOTCH NANAIMO BARS

This popular Canadian dessert is a no-bake bar cookie that hails from the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. The triple-layer treat first appeared in local cookbooks in the 1950s and quickly became a well-loved dessert through recipe contests, media coverage, and national coffee chains. Nanaimo bars are traditionally made with vanilla pudding powder for the middle layer of frosting. I’ve swapped in butterscotch for the vanilla, but coffee, caramel, or pistachio would be equally delicious.
Makes 16–24 bars

Crust:

½ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup sugar

5 tablespoons unsweetened

cocoa powder

1 egg, beaten

5 ounces chocolate graham

crackers, crushed into crumbs

1 cup unsweetened coconut

½ cup chopped hazelnuts



Middle Layer:

½ cup unsalted butter

3 tablespoons heavy

whipping cream

2 tablespoons butterscotch

instant pudding powder

2 cups powdered sugar



Top Layer:

½ cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

7 ounces bittersweet chocolate

(70% cocoa), finely chopped
 
For the crust:


Melt butter, sugar, and cocoa in a double boiler. Add egg and stir to thicken. Stir in graham crumbs, coconut, and hazelnuts. Press into a 9-inch-square baking pan lined completely with foil. Chill until firm.


For the second layer:

Beat butter, cream, and pudding

powder in an electric mixer. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Spread over chilled crust and smooth with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Chill.

For the chocolate top:

Heat heavy cream and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve. Place chocolate in a medium bowl. When cream begins to simmer, pour over chocolate to cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Stir quickly until completely smooth. If chocolate doesn’t melt completely, fill saucepan with an inch of water, bring to a simmer, and place bowl over the pan. Stir until melted. Pour over butterscotch layer and chill at least 30 minutes. To serve, slice with a warm knife, wiping it clean between each cut. Store bars covered in the refrigerator.
 
Enjoy!

Three Simple Ways to Give Back This Season

Three Simple Ways to Give Back This Season

Make a clean sweep through your home. Clear some room for any gifts you will receive by weeding out the extras in your pantry, clothes closet, and hallway closet. Donate the items to your local soup kitchen, religious center, or other such organization, which can then pass along these items to those in need.

Keep your neighborhood in good shape. If you live in an area where it snows frequently, help out neighbors who may not be able to shovel their own walkways. Not only will you be meeting their need, but you will get a bit of exercise in the process, too.

Help those less fortunate in your community. There are so many ways to give back, from putting together gift baskets for families to serving food in shelters. Contact a non-profit organization in your area to see what your community’s needs are and how you may be capable of meeting them.

Parking Ban info - be prepared!

Parking Ban Information


With winter right around the corner, the City of Portland wants to remind residents and visitors that a city-wide parking ban may be called when weather impacts the city’s ability to carry out its winter storm operations and ensure roads are safe for travel. When a parking ban is declared, all vehicles must be off city streets by 10:00 PM until 6:00 AM the following day (times may vary depending upon the severity of the weather). Vehicles left on the street during a ban will be towed at the owner’s expense (tow fee - $70, impound fee - $35, ticket cost - $30 and all outstanding tickets must be paid). Vehicles not claimed within 24 hours will be charged $25 storage fee per day). Vehicles will be towed to the city’s impound lot located at the Ocean Gateway International Marine Terminal at 40 Commercial Street (phone number 774-3025). At the end of the day following a parking ban, unclaimed vehicles will be towed to private tow company lots, and storage fees of $25 per day will accrue.

There are a number of places people can park at no charge during a parking ban including:


Ø Deering Oaks – on the left hand side of Tennis Court Road only

Ø State Street gravel lot – abutting Deering oaks

Ø Fitzpatrick Stadium parking lot

Ø Hadlock Field parking lot

Ø All Portland Public School lots EXCEPT the lot at Reiche School which abuts the school and playground

Ø Parking lot at Nathan Clifford School

Ø Parking lots on Munjoy and Wilson Streets, formerly known as the Adams School

Ø Cutter Street lots (off the Eastern Prom)

Ø Beach Street lot accessible from Commercial Street (This lot is available after 8 P.M.)

Ø Lot across the street from the International Marine Terminal on Commercial Street (corner of Park and Commercial Streets)

Ø Dougherty Field

Ø Many parking garages in the area are open for parking bans at reduced rates – check with individual garages for rates and hours http://www.portlandmaine.gov/parking/offstreet.asp

Vehicles can begin to park in these designated areas at 5:00 PM the night a parking ban is declared. Vehicles must be moved from the city lots by 7:00 AM the morning the ban is lifted.

The city can also declare a Yellow Zone parking ban for the downtown area only, starting at 10:00 PM and ending at 6:00 AM. When a yellow ban is announced, parking is prohibited from Franklin Arterial to State Street and Commercial Street to Cumberland Avenue.

The Art of Conversation...

By the time December rolls around, your calendar is likely filled with holiday work parties, social engagements, and gatherings with family and friends. Such merriment is part of the season and welcomed by many a socialite. But if you’ve struggled making small talk with strangers and distant acquaintances in years past, those same gatherings can be a source of anxiety and dread.


Fortunately, being a good conversationalist isn’t an innate skill. Rather, you can learn to converse well with others by mastering expert tricks. Do so and you’ll free yourself from your fears and open the door to a world of possibilities that wallflowers don’t experience.

Portland's Economic Development Plan

Economic Development Plan Moves Towards Implementation


Today, the City of Portland’s Economic Development Division announced the launch of a new program, the Portland Economic Development Plan Implementation Program (PEDPIP), designed to help local non profits and public entities implement the city’s Economic Development Vision and Plan. The plan developed collaboratively by the City of Portland, Portland Community Chamber, Creative Portland Corporation, Portland Development Corporation, along with a task force representing a variety of stakeholders in the private sector was adopted in November by the City Council and provides a roadmap for the city’s future success with steps to take to grow the local economy, enrich the creative economy and support local business. The plan is available online at http://www.portlandmaine.gov/citymanagers/portlandeconomicsevelopmentplan.pdf

Grants up to $75,000 will be available through PEDPIP to help fund planning studies and other “soft” costs associated with economic development projects and programs to advance the initiatives spelled out in the Economic Development Vision and Plan’s priorities. The program will fund the following: a) planning to evaluate economic development opportunities; b) business recruitment activities with a focus on targeted industries; c) marketing plans/strategies for the city; and, d) programs to enhance the climate and access to downtown business districts. The PEDPIP requires a match from the applicant equal or greater than the grant amount. PEDPIP funds cannot be used for public infrastructure or private development projects.

The Portland Development Corporation, the city’s lending and granting board, will review and approve all qualified applications. Program guidelines and applications are available online at http://www.portlandmaine.gov/citymanagers/ecodev.asp . Applications can be submitted to the Economic Development Division, City Hall, 389 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101.

Globally inspired gifts will set your presents apart...

Whether you’re searching for holiday presents or need impressive hostess gifts this season, December is a time when opportunities for thoughtful gift giving abound. In a pinch, it’s fine to wrap up traditional edibles, such as homemade cookies or a bottle of wine. But with a bit of planning, you can expand your shopping beyond what’s expected and give global treats that will surprise and delight recipients. Globe-trotting friends and family will love that these gifts conjure memories of trips abroad, while homebodies will appreciate that they provide a taste of another culture without a long trip. Ready to start shopping? Here are eight treats to add to your list this season.


France No Paris vacation is complete without a visit to Ladurée to sample the divine macarons. Closer to home, you’ll find similarly impressive flavors—such as salted caramel and passion fruit—at ‘lette macarons in Beverly Hills, California. Owner and macaron enthusiast Paulette Koumetz and award-winning French pastry chef Christophe Michalak have collaborated to create twelve classic flavors and a variety of seasonal specialties. Ship your favorite Francophiles a box of these vivid macarons and they’ll be able to enjoy a favorite Parisian sweet without waiting in Ladurée’s lengthy line.

India Whether they’ve enjoyed Indian cuisine at a neighborhood restaurant or sampled it on a trek to the Taj Mahal, fans of India’s curries will appreciate the chance to re-create their favorite taste memories at home. Penzeys Spices’ four-jar Indian curry set offers a selection of the shop’s most popular curry seasonings, including the versatile Garam Masala blend. Encourage recipients to use the tandoori seasoning for tandoori chicken, and then hope they thank you with an invitation to the feast.

Tis the season...

3 Easy Gift Ideas


Shopping for the people who are close to you isn't very difficult. But shopping for a business associate, a party host or hostess, or your boss can be more difficult. In those cases the following gift ideas can help.

The Gift in a Basket. While they may seem passé, gift baskets are the ultimate in unique gifts. One reason is that a gift basket can include almost anything. The trick to making it great as well as unique is to find out the recipient's favorite hobby - whether it's golf, cooking, jogging or whatever. Give the basket a personalized theme by filling it with a variety of inexpensive items relating to the hobby.

The Gift of Greenery. While freshly cut flowers make for a very nice host or hostess gift, potted plants can be even better. Every time the recipients look at their plant, they will most likely think of you.

The Gift of Relaxation. We all work hard. That's why the gift of relaxation is so appreciated. And a prepaid massage is a great way to go. Beneficiaries of this gift can experience incredible relaxation, while also allowing their overworked muscles to receive a little TLC. Better still, this gift works for both men and women. And, it can fit into almost any budget - depending on whether you want to purchase a massage for a half hour or an hour.

Happy holidays to you and yours this season. And remember to give yourself a gift by spending time with the ones you love.

Protect Your Credit

Protect Your Credit When Buying or Selling a Home
If you are listing your home for sale, and/or preparing to buy a home, it’s important not only to protect your credit, but to guard against credit or identity theft as well as the theft of valuables. From Bankrate.com, here is a checklist that can help you do that during the buy/sell transaction period:

• Apply with care –Be mindful when applying to multiple lenders. To some versions of the FICO software, all applications submitted within 30-45 days of each other only count as one hit on your credit report. However, many lenders may still use older versions of the software. Play it safe by submitting all
applications in a 14-day period. This will ensure that your credit report doesn't show multiple hits, which will in turn better your overall score.

Prepare for lookers - When selling your home, pack up small, valuable belongings before strangers begin to walk through the house. Additionally, all bills or financial papers should be put into a locked box or drawer. Protecting your finances and account numbers should be your number-one priority because identity and credit theft can happen.

Protect your documents: When buying a new home, only potential mortgage lenders need to see all of your personal information. Agents and sellers only need to know how much you can afford. When dealing with a lender, stick to the same representative to minimize the number of people who have access to your documents. Avoid sending any files with your social security number through email. Opt for mail or fax instead.

Stay on top of your finances: Even if you are on top of paying bills on a monthly basis, you may want to consider checking into your accounts weekly. By logging into your credit card accounts regularly, you can make sure that all of the charges are legitimately yours. Credit watch services are also a good idea. If a fraudulent charge is made, the service will pick up on it and alert you of the charges. It's important to act quickly with regards to your credit.

Housing market on the mend?

New numbers show that housing market conditions are starting to trend upward, according to Radar Logic.




According to the September 2011 RPX Monthly Housing Market Report released today, the RPX Composite Price declined 4.4 percent during the 12 months ending September 29, 2011. The RPX Composite price, which tracks housing values in 25 metropolitan areas across the United States, has been exhibiting year-over-year declines in excess of four percent since February.

Despite this, there are signs that supply and demand are starting to return to historical levels. Demand appears to be increasing, with the 25 metropolitan area RPX transaction count posting a 15.4 percent year-over-year increase in September, the largest September-to-September gain since 2003. Inventories are trending down, with realtors reporting a 13.8 percent year-over-year decline in existing-home inventory in October and the Mortgage Bankers Association reporting a decline in distressed inventory from 13.52 percent of mortgage loans in October 2010 to 12.42 percent of mortgages in October 2011.

Based on these trends, Radar Logic expects the year-over-year trend in U.S. housing prices to remain negative for some time, but the rate of decline will slow until prices finally touch bottom.
