Both the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee have programs to help fund and support vulnerable incumbents. The DCCC runs the "Frontline Program" and the NRCC the "Patriot Program," and the increased financial support facilitated by these programs may be a determining factor in these candidates' success at the polls.

- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

Racism over, 'merit' to rule college admissions
Enter the strange, random, mysterious, unfair, unscientific, skewed, debated and complex college admissions process. A system that just got stranger, more random, etc. Tuesday, as the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Michigan constitutional amendment that says public colleges there can't consider race or sex when admitting students. Trumpet-playing yes, football ability, definitely. Volunteering, yes. Scores on tests designed to reward certain kinds of smarts? Absolutely. Race and gender? No.
You can tax my lunch, but not stock trades?
The Financial Transaction Tax Act, proposed by Rep. Mary Flowers (D-Chicago), has little chance of succeeding but it raises plenty of good questions and issues. In 2008, such a tax was suggested as a natural price to pay for the $700 billion Wall Street bailout. Nobody on Wall Street questioned the propriety of government aiding the financial sector; why, then, does putting the shoe on the other foot spell the end of capitalism as we know it?

Illinois is doing lousy? No, it's doing great
I wanted look at the state of Illinois with a cool, dispassionate eye and ask: Is Bruce Rauner right? Are we really much worse off under Gov. Pat Quinn? Rauner points to our 8.7 percent unemployment, second highest in the nation. The Quinn people, however, observe that when he took office, it was 11.4 percent. Rauner focuses on the bloat of government, Quinn on how much has been cut. Who's right? The bottom line is, for purposes of conversation, that it doesn't matter.
Hobby Lobby tries to craft religious rights
The arc of history bends toward freedom. If you want to understand what has happened over the past decades and centuries, what is happening now, keep that premise in mind. In the past, people were controlled by institutions, which dictated the details of their lives, telling them how to worship, work, dress, think, behave. Yet, right now, in 2014, a case is being discussed by the Supreme Court whether Hobby Lobby, a chain of 500 arts and crafts stores, can decide for its 13,000 employees what kind of birth control they use.

Saying/writing "based on a true story" basically indemnifies you from having to tell an unerringly true story (which is usually boring).
huffy | February 25, 2013 11:47 AM
Also I'm still dumbfounded that people continue to insist that Zero Dark Thirty is pro-torture. It's called subtlety (and ZDT wasn't even that subtle with the fact it felt torture was unnecessary, you just had to fucking pay attention); if a movie doesn't smash you over the head with its message it flies over the head of half the audience.

MAL | February 25, 2013 10:02 AM
Get off your high horses people. Movies, by their very nature, are works of fiction. They are not life, but representations thereof. Even documentaries are biased by filmmakers taking their own perspective of an issue or story and filming and editing it to suit the story they want to tell! Did Zero Dark Thirty achieve success in telling the story it set out to tell and in the way in which it set out to tell it? Stop being so damn political in your thinking and enjoy the films for what they are! (And I'm Canadian and thoroughly enjoyed Argo, knowing full well that the CIA had practically nothing to do with the escape of the American hostages in Iran -- it was a Canadian operation!)
Bob Roberts | February 24, 2013 5:36 PM
I wish you would actually distinguish what is factually true and what isn't instead of lumping all articles legitimately criticizing a movie as a "smear campaign". Zero Dark Thirty clearly shows that torture got key information that lead to Bin Laden. Any minimal amount of research will show you that this just not true! Also the movie conveniently didn't show when the U.S. lost Bin Laden in the Tora Bora mountains. And where's the Iraq war throughout the whole movie?? Also, Argo is a glorification of the CIA, who set-up a brutal dictatorship in Iran that terrorized and killed thousands. Again widely available information. Why can't you guys see that? Are you guys not somewhat politically astute at all? I really love the site but this thing of defending all movies from legitimate political questions is a major flaw of your writers. It's like you are defenders of cinema against anyone who doesn't "get movies" or something. I loooooove love love the movies but I also look at real world implications and others who have true objections to portrayals within those films. Please don't dismiss this. It's a serious thing you as a website need to question.
The best movies of the year are "The Master" and "Silver Linings Playbook". Two true artists have made two of their best movies. There's actual humanity in those films unlike these movies that are simply morally hollow.

I'm not sure that every controversy surrounding a certain movie has something to do with awards campaigns. it looks like that but maybe it's because they release their Oscar contenders in December, when awards season has began. maybe, just maybe some of those controversies could happen if the movies are released in may.
rodie | February 24, 2013 3:12 PM
Goldman did give Damon and Affleck notes on the script and met with them for a couple hours about the movie. In the process the story COMPLETELY changed. The actors had all kind of crazy, cheesy stuff in there about the FBI recruiting Hunting, and blowjobs underneath Robin William's character's desk. Goldman may not have spent a lot of time helping Damon and Affleck, but his notes and influence completely altered the narrative and tone of the movie.

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 28 February, 2011
Quotations about Liberty and Power
About this Quotation:
Twice during the revolutionary year of 1848 Frédéric Bastiat and some younger friends took to the streets of Paris in an attempt to persuade the rioters not to be seduced by the superficial appeal of socialism. In February he helped edit and distribute La République française. In June he did the same with Jacques Bonhomme. The articles were short and written to appeal to the average worker. Some were designed to made into wall posters which could be glued to the walls of the streets of Paris to attract the attention of passers-by. This one appeared only a week after the revolution began on 22 February 1848.In it Bastiat agrees that urgent political and economic reforms are needed in France but distinguished state-directed reforms and market-directed reforms. He prefers the latter where individuals are left free to enjoy their liberty and property, that is to pay the barest minimum for essential state functions and to keep "the rest for themselves".

The French classical liberal economist and member of parliament Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) started a small magazine after revolution broke out on 22 February in Paris. In one article he argued that there were two avenues for reform - politically directed reform via redistribution or leaving people alone to enjoy their liberty and property:

Charlie McDowell had just been dumped, and was heartbroken. In fact, he was lying on his floor, sobbing, when he heard a voice from above. It was his neighbors—two girls—having a really loud conversation. He was so busy being annoyed, that it actually distracted him from his heartbreak.
The distraction proved helpful. And that was the beginning of Charlie's relationship with his upstairs neighbors, whom, he says, he had no choice but to listen to. They were just that loud, and the ceiling was just that thin. At first, to deal with the annoyance factor, he just started tweeting some of their more fascinating statements. And eventually, he was inspired him to write an entire book called, "Dear Girls Above Me."
WATCH: Five Big Relationship Mistakes
Charlie grew up with a lot of sisters, so he thought he understood women pretty well. But the more he listened, the more he learned. Particularly about dating. "Being smart is more interesting" he says, "and that's what I look for in a girl, instead of just 'oh, she's hot and stupid.'" Charlie says that these days, he'd take a Lena Dunham type over a Kardashian type in a heartbeat.
To hear more of the hilarious stuff the girls above Charlie had to say about music and current events, check out this episode of Daily Shot.

3.68/5 rDev +1.1%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance - Pours a quick finger of off-white eggshell head, body is a brilliant transparent light golden orange, lively carb action in the body, thick broken foam rings left after each quaff.
Smell - dark toffee, robust wheat bread, sweet dark fruits like ripe plums, warm brown sugar, and just a slight whiff of floral hops and trace minerals.
Taste - Wow - very much like the nose, but an absolute balanced symphony - flavors are so well blended that it's harder to separate the flavors like you can in the smell - flavor starts heavier towards the brown sugar/toffee/wheat bread crusts and semi-sweet plum, floral hops join moments later, and then there is a spicy yeast flavor accompanied by some earthy mineral flavors. Finishes slightly bitter and dry with dried flowers, breadcrusts and minerals.
Mouthfeel - The large flavors and light sweetness give this a medium mouthfeel, carb is just medium and smooth on the tongue but then gives some extremely crisp, bright edges along the sides and back of the tongue. The feel at the front and center is wonderful, but almost has a slight harshness at the back, making you look forward to the next sip.
Overall - For whatever reason, I just personally like alot of the "typical new belgian" flavors that I find from the similar yeast and malt profiles used in their beers - at least it certainly tastes like it. This in many ways is like an amped up Fat Tire, and that's not a bad thing in my book. I believe this is a seasonal release, check it out if you get the chance.

12 oz. bottle, with best before date of February 09, 2014 printed on the label. Acquired as part of the mixed folly pack at the local Jewel. A new winter seasonal to me from New Belgium, and since it was cold as hell today, it seemed more than appropriate.
Poured into a clear balloon snifter.
A - Pours a very nice burnt coppery orange with some nice clarity and about two fingers of fluffy doughy tan head. Thin scattered lacing. Looks pretty nice.
S - Smell is of brown bread, crackery caramel malt, crisp musty yeast, a touch of indistinct spicing, & some hop derived fruitiness comes through with hints of mango, grapefruit, pine, & melon. A light aroma, but pleasant enough.
T - Taste is of caramel malt, brown bread, touch of brown sugary sweetness, & roasty malty nuttiness. Touch of piney / grapefruit hop bitterness on the finish. More nutty and malty than anything else, but the citrus hops lends a nice touch.
M - Feel is crisp and clean, with mild stickiness / bitterness on the palate.
Overall, a decent enough winter ale for what it is. Moderate abv and easy drinking for the style. This was the first year I encountered this beer, and I would have it again.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a goblet.
A - Medium gold color with orange highlights; very clear. Head is white and made of extremely fine bubbles. It is just a wisp on top of the beer, but makes lots of lacing on the glass.
S - Fresh hoppy aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with only a bit of pine and grapefruit. Behind that is some bready malt, and sugar. Maybe some spices like gingerbread, but very, very restrained.
T - Flavors emphasize hops, with tropical fruit, pine and grapefruit at about equal levels. There is some gingerbread malt in the background, but it can't compete with the hops. No yeast characteristics show through. Fairly one dimensional.
M - A little thin-bodied. Strong hop bitterness. Restrained carbonation. Slight alcohol presence.
O - A good beer, but a little disappointing to me when billed as a winter warmer/ESB. I think it could use more malt presence to provide balance and complexity. Still, it is clean, well-made and enjoyable.

The Thin Line Between Justice and PeaceJul 15, 2013 | News Archive
Check out Stephanie Renee's latest blog post!
The Zimmerman verdict, and the ever-waning patience of Blacks in America.
Late on Saturday night, the world learned of the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman for the murder (or manslaughter) of Trayvon Martin. The words: NOT GUILTY. Their sound echoed in the disbelief-filled cries of people across the country who had maintained hope, against the backdrop of shoddy legal work and subjective burden of proof, that some form of balance would be reached on behalf of a family and nation in mourning. This, even after those of us who sometimes confuse cynicism for realism, had many doubts of a verdict that would somehow restore Black America's shaky faith. That 6 women would find the killing of a teenager out just after dark for a snack could be legally wrong, especially when the morality and righteousness of Zimmerman's actions were always deeply troubling. That they might see Trayvon's face in those of their own children, family, community. That the killing of a defenseless boy by an armed man deserves punishment, regardless of the ethnicity of either party.

I am looking for some advice. I recently had a new well drilled and the old one plugged. The results of the water test are:
Turbidity = 2.6 NTU
PH = 5.9 Std. units
Iron = 0.38 mg/L
Manganese = 0.078 mg/L
Sodium 5.5 mg/L
Iron + Manganese 0.46 mg/L
Hardness 45 mg/L
Lead .0021
Alkalinity 40
E-Coli negative
Total coliform negative
I initially was just going to get a softener and an under the sink reverse osmosis system. It appears I should treat the acidity though as well so now I am thinking Acid Neutrilizer, softener and RO for drinking water. Based on these results should I be considering anything else? Thanks.

BALTIMORE – U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin and U.S. Congressmen Dutch Ruppersberger, Elijah Cummings and John Sarbanes (all D-MD) today presented the Maryland Food Bank with a check for $492,000 to help the non-profit organization feed the growing number of Marylanders who are hungry. The funding for the Maryland Food Bank was included in the omnibus appropriations bill that was enacted into law in December 2009.
The Maryland Food Bank provides meals to approximately 44,600 Marylanders a week and 261,000 people a year. Since the economic downturn began in 2008, the Maryland Food Bank has reported a 30 to 50 percent increase in the demand for food. Many of its clients work full time and were considered middle class before the recession.
"In this recession, too many Marylanders have been faced with the difficult decision of whether to buy food or pay other bills such as rent, heat or health care," said Senator Cardin, a member of the Senate Budget Committee. "The Maryland Food Bank provides a valuable service in helping to feed our state's hungry, and I am committed to ensuring they have the resources they need to carry out their mission."
"This funding couldn't have come at a better time – when the fastest-growing segment of those in need is people who work full-time and were considered middle-class before the economic recession," Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger said. "The Maryland Food Bank has been helping Maryland families get back on their feet for decades and this funding will now help them put a new roof over their own heads. I am proud to be a part of Team Maryland and will continue to fight to ensure Marylanders have the resources they need to weather this financial storm."
"The mission of the Maryland Food Bank is one of mercy," said Congressman Cummings. "That our land of plenty has citizens who go hungry is a national embarrassment. The Maryland Food Bank has done incredible work to fix this problem, and I am proud to help it continue that mission, in the words of its motto, until hunger ends."
"In these difficult economic times, the Maryland Food Bank is playing a critical role providing food for the hungry," said Congressman Sarbanes. "The Maryland Food Bank has been a lifeline for struggling families who didn't know where their next meal was going to come from."

text: Dairy Producers Strengthen Relationship With Veal Producers American Veal Association became an associate member of the National Milk Producers Federation, while NMPF reciprocated by joining the AVA. Published on: Feb 8, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The relationship between U.S. dairy producers and veal producers took a big step forward recently when the American Veal Association became an associate member of the National Milk Producers Federation, while NMPF reciprocated by joining the AVA. Because veal production is separate from, but linked to dairy farming, the two organizations decided that they should have a stronger relationship through membership in each other's respective organizations. "Many of the animal health issues that we deal with regularly at NMPF are also issues of interest to the veal sector, ranging from animal identification to biosecurity," says Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of NMPF. "It just makes sense that we need to have a more cooperative relationship with veal producers in the future." The AVA is made up of an eight-person board representing the packing, feed, producer, and other related sectors of the $1.2 billion veal industry. The special-fed veal industry contributes $350 million to the dairy industry through purchases of dairy by-products and calves. There are seven primary veal producing states: Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. AVA's Executive Vice President, Bryan Oedzes, says, "The American Veal Association is proud to have joined the NMPF family. Through a meeting held in January, both organizations realized that we share many areas of common interest. In addition, we feel there is a great opportunity to work on educational programs with NMPF members. The quality bull calves that the NMPF members care for and sell to our industry are the cornerstone of our producers' success. We look forward to working with NMPF throughout this year."

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 459
In St. Louis, I think there are a few ways to answer this question.
If you were in town on business and wanted to get a round in after work, I would recommend Jefferson Barracks. It is only about 20 minutes away from downtown or 30 minutes away from most business areas in the STL county. There are always some friendly locals that are more than willing to show you around the course. The course isn't terribly long (7,100 in its maxed out settings - which it hardly ever is) and is loaded with a variety of shots. There is a reason why it is the most played course in the area...fun, fun, fun!
If you were in town for the weekend and wanted to maybe fit in a little roadtrip, I would head out to Centralia, IL. It is maybe an hour drive (maybe 45 min) from Busch Stadium downtown. It is an epic course designed by Dave McCormack. It is the direction that championship disc golf has been headed more and more in the last few years. It has legitimate par 4s and 5s that make this course play as a par 72. You will go away feeling that you have just played something special. They also have a really nice recreational 9 holer that you might as well play too. On your way back to the Lou, you could even hit up Woodland Park in Collinsville, IL to fill out the day.
If you were looking for a fun golf/after-golf-activity scenario, I would head up to Rock Springs Park in Alton, IL. It is about 30 or so minutes from downtown. The course itself is a ton of fun, with plenty of variety and treacherous greens. But the after golf actvity is where this day becomes memorable! Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) hits up Fast Eddies Bon Air at the bottom of the hill after their round (as long as you are 21). Live music, cheap killer grub, the coldest beers anywhere and plenty of people watching. It's an area institution that shouldn't be missed!
Honestly, if anyone is going to be in STL for a weekend of golf, you will not go away disappointed...just try to avoid the extreme cold/heat!
Recreation park in Bryan Ohio is the only course worth playing in my area
Victory Park in Albion.. If you are close its well worth the stop. and Marshall has dark horse brewery
agree fallsburg made me want to play after taking a few years of it is a great place to play very challenging and i played foulton county park in atlanta about ten years ago and it made me feel like i was on a country club manacured fairways 3 or for pin locations every hole just thought it was the nices course to play ever

I am running LR 3.6 on my desktop (i5 2500, 8GB ram, processor graphics, Crucial M4 128GB SSD) and on my laptop(2010) (i5, 4gb Ram) with great smoothness. The programm beautifully deals with my 5d Mark II files without any hesitation or delay.
Today I downloaded the test version of LR4 and I have to say I am deeply disappointed. The sliders dont react smoothjly anymore, even on my powerful desktop. I have heard of many performance issues with earlier versions of Lightroom (2.0, 3.0) but I never experienced those. This Time I am being hit hard. The program is basically unusable as the the sliders will move only a second after you have dragged them. It is impossible to adjust them precisly.
Please help! This cant right. The programm is basically the same as LR 3.6 ( at least I canT make out any game changing improvements, safe for a few featrues and renaming of the sliders). If it cant run on a 2011 computer handling files from a 2008 camera, I dont see any point in upgrading. I need a functioning and quick professional workflow tool. Not an unfinished buggy beta product, which is too slow to work with!
What is screen resolution?
If you turn off some panels (especially Lens Correction and Details) and Highlights, Shadows and Clarity, delele any local corrections, does is still lag?
I have and older dual-core CPU (a Clarckdale Core i3 550), quite a small 1280x1024 screen and Win7 x64. My basic sliders move quite smoothly in Develop in Fit mode with just the right panel showing. I'd say LR4 does about 10fps on 10 Mpx files and ~4 fps for 36 Mpx.
Subjectively, Lens Corrections decrease performance by some 20%, all detail sliders take away another 20%. Grain might eat some performance too. Local correction can range from moderate to medium hit, depending on amount and controls used. And all these feel about the same as LR3.
But the biggest hit is taken when using new 2012 controls: Highlights, Shadows and Clarity. If I use any of these, I can see perhaps a 5-10 fold drop in performance. LR3's Recovery, Fill and Clarity were not near as CPU-intensice as that.
no problems here.... but do we really need 20 threads about this?
how about taking a look at the forum and add you complain to an already existing thread?
or could a MOD merge the threads into one?
I think you might be experiencing a bug. I create new catalogs for all my shoots, but a normal shoot with approx. 1000 images runs quite smoothly on my field laptop, and thats a Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz with 4GB's of RAM. Almost an ancient machine, but great for fieldwork...
Reinstall it maybe or reset the preferences?

Nurnberg v Bayern Munich: Preview
Uli Hoeness will continue to call the shots at Bayern Munich after begin voted in for a second term as club president at their Annual General Meeting last night.
Hoeness, who replaced Franz Beckenbauer after stepping up from his role of director of sport in 2009, received 97% of the votes, earning resounding confirmation of his work over the past two seasons, even if he was unable to produce any trophies.
``It's a dream to be president of this club,'' said Hoeness.
Record profits were also announced at the AGM as Bayern contradicted an economic crisis with a 20th straight profit-making financial year.
``I think the members of Bayern Munich can be proud of these results,'' said the club's board member Kar Hopfner, who unveiled a record turnover of 373.4 million euros for a profit of 11.1 million euros, compared to 1.3 made in the previous financial year.
Bayern are also proving to be profitable on the field as they head into a Bavarian derby at Nurnberg tomorrow with an astonishing 30 points from 11 games.
Only Bayer Leverkusen have taken anything off the record German champions, who will aim to continue their push towards a first piece of silverware in three years at the Frankenstadion.
They now have an extra ace in the pack too with Germany international Mario Gomez making his comeback from injury in a friendly match in midweek, giving coach Jupp Heynckes a selection headache with Mario Mandzukic and Claudio Pizarro also showing good form of late.
``Everybody is number one here because we have top strikers,'' said Heynckes.
An immediate return to the starting XI is unlikely for Gomez, who has been out since August 5.
``It's my job to build him up gradually and carefully,'' Heynckes said. ``I want to see how the foot copes. I have a duty to his health.''
Nurnberg coach Dieter Hecking's job this week has been to build up his own side and give them belief that they can decide the 185th Bavarian derby for themselves.
``We don't need to make ourselves out to be small,'' he said ``I would like my team to see that they have a chance, and then to take it.
``Games between us have always been tight and I have the courage to say we are going to challenge Bayern.''
Goalkeeper Raphael Schafer returns for Nurnberg while Markus Feulner should replace the suspended Hanno Balitsch in midfield.
