Tune in to the XPN Morning Show each Monday to hear Host Michaela Majoun with Assistant Music Director Mike Vasilikos review XPN's Featured Album of the Week. This week's album is....
On their sixth studio album, Gomez offers fans a more experimental, less pop-infused effort. A New Tide feels somewhat like a return to form. The five members once again took the unique method of writing separately and exchanging portions of songs electronically. And despite the physical distance apart, the results are cohesive.
If you've ever traveled to or spent an extended period of time in the Catskill Mountains, the sound and demeanor of The Felice Brothers comes as no surprise. On their second release for Team Love Records, the earthy Americana band of brothers and longtime friends aim to reflect the America that they know, and do so with tales of trains, baseball and even chickens.
Removed from the pressures or constraints that may come with being signed to a major label, the Indigo Girls have seemingly returned to form on their independent release Poseidon And The Bitter Bug. The double-disc effort actually spotlights the duo in both a full band setting as well as an intimate, acoustic arrangement performing essentially the same set of songs.
It's easy to be captivated by Middle Cyclone, the new album from Neko Case. Those enchanting vocals have returned, striking a familiar balance between her alt-country tendencies and indie-pop sensibilities. And while Case's viability as a solo artist skyrocketed after the release of Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, it's fair to say that on Middle Cyclone the spotlight shines just as bright.
On the title track to her new album Madeleine Peyroux leaves us with these parting words "...the truth itself, nothing but a gamble / it might or might not set you free / but in these bare bones there's something lovely after all..." While interpretation will vary, one thing is for sure, and that's that Peyroux did indeed take a gamble on Bare Bones, attempting something she's never done before.
To fully understand and appreciate Bell X1 is to know a little bit of the history of band. The Irish indie rock band formed in the 90's under the name Juniper and was led by singer-songwriter Damien Rice. Upon Rice's departure, drummer Paul Noonan stepped up to the microphone, replacing Rice, and ultimately launching the band we know now as Bell X1.
It's sometimes difficult to critique a band as accomplished and as influential as U2. And it must be equally as challenging to be a band of that stature and continue to create music as stimulating as your earliest works. On their 12th studio album, No Line On The Horizon, U2 has yet again crafted an album that is expansive, and at the same time attentive to that familiar U2 spirit.
For Shemekia Copeland, her new album Never Going Back reveals a new attitude, a new sound and an overall evolution for the young blues woman. Lots of things have changed since last we heard from Copeland. For the first time in her career Shemekia is releasing an album on a label other than Alligator Records; Never Going Back is her debut for the Telarc label. And her choice of producer for the new album, Oliver Wood of the Wood Brothers, was another step outside the traditional blues world.
While his name seems to come up quite a bit when you reference modern independent music, it's been a couple years since we've got to enjoy an M. Ward solo record. More recently Ward has spent time recording and touring as the duo of She & Him. Hence, many are eager to get their ears on Hold Time, Ward's new solo album, which satisfies beyond expectations.
Widely known as one half of the rock duo The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach steps out on his own with the release of his first solo record, Keep It Hid. While The Keys' music has always been steeped in the blues, Auerbach's appreciation runs deep on Keep It Hid. Not only do we hear what the blues may sound like for a new generation, but Auerbach stretches into some territory that The Keys have yet to.

prob not on the beta, but ill look for it though. thanks!
Probably not. =/ I'm fortunate enough to have a separate Xbox without the beta installed.
I got it, thanks. I did notice that it wouldn't let me do the profile switch like I normally have to, but it wasn't hard to find on my main account.
It's a little confusing.
You can't sign out and sign in without being dashboarded. What you need to do is use a second controller to sign into the second account, then sign off the first account (first controller). You can't keep them both signed in because it'll keep trying to download on the first account.

I knew I was going to regret doing the dashboard beta. I don't understand why they don't just have the ads in the new dashboard. They also had to screw us over by removing the backdoor to the old dashboard.
same, IE just sucks and that's about the only thing they added.

Mark Udall on Free TradeDemocratic Representative (CO-2) | |
�When you give these companies a [tax] holiday, that rewards these companies for creating these jobs overseas & not here,� Udall said. Instead, he said Colorado leaders should be focused on restoring the financial markets� vitality and instituting oversight to prevent future crashes. �It�s exactly that kind of thinking that got us into this crisis to start with, Udall said of Schaffer�s plan.
Schaffer, however, said a temporary reduction in the repatriation tax would, in fact, strengthen the US economy. �What would be a more powerful boost to the economy is exploring multiple strategies to pump private capital real dollars, into the economy,� Schaffer said.
Schaffer noted that Udall �voted for it at its last step before it went to the president.� Udall voted for the 2004 American Jobs Creation Act on Oct. 4, 2004, after he voted against it in June.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: It's absolutely ridiculous to believe that we can create jobs without trade. I had the opportunity to travel to Peru recently. I saw firsthand how important this agreement is to Peru and how this agreement will strengthen an important ally of ours in that region. Peru is resisting the efforts of Venezuela's authoritarian President Hugo Chavez to wage a war of words and ideas in Latin America against the US. Congress should acknowledge the support of the people of Peru and pass this legislation by a strong margin.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. WU: I regret that I cannot vote for this bill tonight because it does not put human rights on an equal footing with environmental and labor protections.
Rep. KILDEE: All trade agreements suffer from the same fundamental flaw: They are not self-enforcing. Trade agreements depend upon vigorous enforcement, which requires official complaints be made when violations occur. I have no faith in President Bush to show any enthusiasm to enforce this agreement. Congress should not hand this administration yet another trade agreement because past agreements have been more efficient at exporting jobs than goods and services. I appeal to all Members of Congress to vote NO on this. But I appeal especially to my fellow Democrats not to turn their backs on those American workers who suffer from the export of their jobs. They want a paycheck, not an unemployment check.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: In recent years, trade policy has been a dividing force. This legislation develops a new trade policy that more adequately addresses the growing perception that trade is not working for American workers. The Trade and Globalization Assistance Act would expand training and benefits for workers while also helping to encourage investment in communities that have lost jobs to increased trade--particularly in our manufacturing sector. The bill is a comprehensive policy expanding opportunities for American workers, industries, and communities to prepare for and overcome the challenges created by expanded trade.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. McCRERY: We should be considering trade adjustment assistance in the context of trade opportunities generally for US workers. That is to say, I think we should be considering modifications to our assistance network in the context of the pending free trade agreements that are before the Congress. Unfortunately, we are not doing that. We are considering TAA in isolation. [We should instead] restructure TAA from a predominantly income support program into a job retraining program. Other problems include that H.R. 3920 would:
The mission of the Cato Institute Center for Trade Policy Studies is to increase public understanding of the benefits of free trade and the costs of protectionism.
The Cato Trade Center focuses not only on U.S. protectionism, but also on trade barriers around the world. Cato scholars examine how the negotiation of multilateral, regional, and bilateral trade agreements can reduce trade barriers and provide institutional support for open markets. Not all trade agreements, however, lead to genuine liberalization. In this regard, Trade Center studies scrutinize whether purportedly market-opening accords actually seek to dictate marketplace results, or increase bureaucratic interference in the economy as a condition of market access.
Studies by Cato Trade Center scholars show that the United States is most effective in encouraging open markets abroad when it leads by example. The relative openness and consequent strength of the U.S. economy already lend powerful support to the worldwide trend toward embracing open markets. Consistent adherence by the United States to free trade principles would give this trend even greater momentum. Thus, Cato scholars have found that unilateral liberalization supports rather than undermines productive trade negotiations.
Scholars at the Cato Trade Center aim at nothing less than changing the terms of the trade policy debate: away from the current mercantilist preoccupation with trade balances, and toward a recognition that open markets are their own reward.
The following ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.

Ride With Me: Top Ten Guilty Pleasure Road Trip Songs
January 27th, 2013 3:00pm EST
Top Gear is returning to History Channel on Tuesday, January 29 with an episode where the hosts attempt to drive the cars they owned in college through Mexico to find out which one is the ultimate college car. Road trips are an essential part of youth culture, and one of the most important facets of these journeys is the music selection. So, here are ten sing along songs from the 90's and early 2000's that are sure to get everyone in the car screaming along:
10. "Ride Wit Me" Nelly
The perfect way to begin any road trip, really. "Hey, must be the money" is bound to facilitate shouts from everyone in the car, and this song lends itself to repeated listenings very well.
9. "You Get What You Give" New Radicals
This song is almost impossible to sing and yet it is so catchy that it just begs to be sung. Extra props for the goofy 90's rap verse at the end of the song.
8. "Return of the Mack" Mack Morrison
This song has the ability to instantly transport it's listener back to the summer of 1996, when times were good. Clinton was president, Doc Martens were cool, and Nickelodean represented the greatest in television programming.
7. "I Touch Myself" The Divinyls
This is the definition of a guilty pleasure song. No one wants to admit that they like it, and no one really has any shame in singing it once they see others doing the same.
6. "Summer Girls" LFO
Calling this song hip hop is a travesty to the genre, and yet it represents the finest in boy bands attempting the embrace it, and succeeding in a weird sort of way. No one would say that the rhymes here flow well, but they definitely have the capicity to bring a smile to the listeners face. Most notable lyric: "Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets."5. "One Week" The Barenaked Ladies
The Barenaked Ladies have certainly had their fare share of hits throughout the years, but none quite like this one. Featuring verses delivered at a break neck pace, and a chorus that's bound to drill it's way into anyone's head upon immediately hearing it. You might listen to this song once, but it's going to play on repeat in your mind for the next few days.4. "Mo Money Mo Problems" The Notorious B.I.G., Mase, and Puff Daddy
This is the catchiest song to ever feature a verse from a dead guy. Biggie died before this song was released, and his verse was probably never destined for a song like this in the first place. But whatever, the results are fantastic, and his verse puts the ones by Mase and Daddy to shame.
3. "Gettin' Jiggy With It" Will Smith
Will Smith released many stupid, catchy, and profanity free rap songs back in the day, but this is without a doubt the finest of all of his releases. It also features plenty of Will's signature "Uhs" which happen to begin almost everyone of his hit tracks. Also, does Will ever rap over anything but disco songs from the 70's?2. "A Thousand Miles" Vanessa Carlton
It's hard to hate this song, despite the fact that it seems like it would be easy to. The stupidly catchy piano riff penetrates the brain immediately, and then the cheesy string section sucks you in. It's impossible to not sing along with this one.1. "Someday" Sugar Ray
The ultimate good time fun in the sun song. Sugar Ray never had a hit past 1999, and it's kind of easy to see why. Their sound is so 90's that you can almost taste the Sunny D dripping out of your speakers. This song has the instant ability to transport it's listener to happiness, and that's why it's number one on this list.

[JURIST] Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney [official website] Friday filed a request with the state's Supreme Judicial Court [JURIST report] to put a measure effectively banning same-sex marriage [text, DOC] on the 2008 Massachusetts ballot if legislators fail to vote on the issue before the end of their term on January 2. Romney took the anticipated action [JURIST report] after state lawmakers voted 109-87 to recess an ongoing joint House-Senate session until that day. Opponents of the measure to define marriage as only between a man and a woman say they may not have the votes to block it, amounting to 151 of the 200 session members. Fifty members can approve the measure. AP has more.Massachusetts [JURIST news archive] is currently the only US state to recognize same-sex marriage, after a November 2003 state high court ruling [JURIST report; background materials]. More than 8,000 same-sex couples have subsequently wed in the state, and the precedent has sparked a nationwide debate over gay marriage.
[JURIST] The UN Committee against Torture (CAT) [official website] urged Russia Friday to investigate and prosecute [press release] what it called the "widespread use of torture" in Chechnya [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. The human rights body cited "reliable reports" of the existence of secret detention facilities where "detainees faced torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment." CAT also expressed its concern that "numerous, ongoing and consistent allegations that abductions and enforced disappearances in the Chechen Republic were inflicted by or at the instigation of public officials."The Committee against Torture (CAT) monitors implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment [text, in PDF] by states party to the 1984 convention. Earlier this month Human Rights Watch issued a report claiming that torture has become widespread in Chechnya [HRW report] with more than 100 known cases in both official and secret detention centers. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The International Bar Association (IBA) [official website], the leading global organization of legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies, announced [press release] Friday that it has canceled a training program for Cambodian lawyers representing defendants in the genocide trial of Khmer Rouge [JURIST news archive] leaders. The program had faced opposition from the Cambodian Bar Association, which saw the program as infringing on the Cambodian Bar's sovereignty and prohibited Cambodian lawyers from taking part. The IBA alleged that the Cambodian move was "part of a wider scheme of opposition designed to obstruct the operation of the [genocide tribunal]"; IBA head Mark Ellis commented:
The Bars actions represent a disturbing development in the functioning of international justice, placing obstacles in the path of bringing those accused of international crimes to trial. The IBAs programme was intended to improve the quality of legal services and the administration of justice in Cambodia, and help educate and inform the Cambodian public about international justice. It is unacceptable that the Cambodian Bar, which should share these objectives, is seeking to frustrate them in this way.
[JURIST] Hartmut Nassauer [official website], German head of a European Parliament [official website] delegation visiting Indonesia, said Friday that adopting Sharia law [CFR backgrounder] would negatively affect Indonesia's relations with other states. Nassaeur emphasized that Islamic law should not affect Indonesia's legal code, stating that the liberty of faith "includes the right to live without faith and consequently [an individual should not] have to obey a faith which is not [theirs]." Nassauer's statements follow the partial implementation of Sharia law by the self-governed region of Aceh.Aceh [JURIST news archive] has enforced Muslim dress codes and obligations like the Salat (ritual prayer), Zakat (alms-giving), and Siyam (fasting). The province was granted self-governance [JURIST report] in July by the passage of legislation in the Indonesian House of Representatives [official website, in Bahasa Indonesian]. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Two Turkish Christians have gone on trial for their alleged "public denigration of the Turkish identity." Hakan Tastan, 37, and Turan Topal, 46, allegedly made insults against Turkey while attempting to convert other Turks to Christianity. The two defendants are being charged under Article 301 [Amnesty backgrounder] of Turkey's penal code, which makes insulting "Turkishness" a crime. The two are also being charged under Article 312 [HRW backgrounder], which criminalizes inciting hatred based on class, race, religion, creed, or region.The controversial Article 301 has been used to prosecute Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk [JURIST report], and has been a point of contention between the European Union and Turkey [JURIST report], which has an ongoing bid for EU membership [EC materials]. Turkish leaders say they have no immediate plans to make further changes to the law [JURIST report], which the EU deems an infringement on freedom of expression [JURIST report]. AP has more.
[JURIST] The government of Rwanda cut diplomatic ties with France Friday in protest at a French judge's recommendation that Rwandan President Paul Kagame [official website] face trial [JURIST report] in connection with the 1994 downing of a plane carrying then-President Juvenal Habyariman [Wikipedia profile], whose death triggered a genocide that killed over 800,000 people. French anti-terrorism judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere [BBC profile] also issued arrest warrants against nine top Rwanda officials on suspicion of involvement in the same incident. No warrant for Kagame's arrest was issued as he enjoys diplomatic immunity under French law. Rwandan Foreign Minister Charles Murigande told Reuters that the French ambassador to Rwanda has been ordered to leave the country in 24 hours and that other French diplomats were to be out in 72. The French Foreign Ministry has confirmed the break [press release, in French]. Earlier in the day Rwanda recalled its own ambassador from Paris [Reuters report] and issued a statement alleging that France was trying to overthrow its government. The Rwandan government claimed [press release] earlier in the week that the allegations were "an attempt to intimidate Rwanda using strong arm tactics and to use the superpower position to hide the truth of Frances involvement in genocide" in the wake of a Rwandan government probe [JURIST report] begun last month into accusations that France assisted the Hutu massacre of Tutsis. Kagame has denied any involvement in the downing of his predecessor's plane and earlier in the week derided Bruguiere's tactics [JURIST report] as "bullying and arrogant." Friday's break of diplomatic ties came a day after a mass protest [JURIST report] against the French judge's orders by some 25,000 Rwandans gathered in a Kigali sports stadium. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The Beijing Higher People's Court Friday turned down an appeal by Hong Kong reporter Ching Cheong [advocacy website; SCMP Q/A] against his August conviction for passing state secrets. The presiding judge deemed the trial court's ruling "accurate in application of the law and appropriate in meting out punishment," according to a report by state news agency Xinhua. The ruling after a 30-minute hearing followed Ching's initial failure to get a hearing [JURIST report] in October. While working for Singapore's Straits Times [media website] in April of 2005, Ching was arrested in the Chinese city of Guangzhou for providing unnamed "state secrets and intelligence" to Taiwanese intelligence [BBC report] through an unspecified front organization. He was convicted after a two-week trial [JURIST report] behind closed doors. After Friday's ruling by the appeals court, Ching now faces a 5-year prison term [JURIST report].The Straits Times has expressed disappointment with the decision and concern for the journalist's health. Ching's wife, Mary Lau, maintains her husband's innocence and believes that he was tried because he obtained politically-sensitive, unpublished interviews with late Communist Party chief Zhao Ziyang [BBC profile], who was purged for opposing the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre [BBC backgrounder]. The government of Hong Kong, now a Chinese administrative region, refused to intervene in the mainland judicial process. AP has more. Xinhua has local coverage.
[JURIST] Legal services in the UK are set to be revolutionized after the British government Friday published [press release] a much-anticipated bill [DCA materials] that would remove the right of the legal profession to regulate itself and would allow other businesses - such as banks and even, in theory, supermarkets - to own law practices. The legislation, which would also allow law firms to operate in free association with other groups of professionals such as accountants and to receive investment, was formally introduced in the House of Lords Thursday and is expected to come into force in 2008.Disciplinary authority over the legal profession will now vest in an independent body. Lord Falconer [official profile], the Lord Chancellor and head of the Department of Constitutional Affairs [official website], said of the change:
Today's proposals aim to increase public confidence in acquiring legal services that are fit for purpose. The Legal Services Board will oversee approved regulators who will be required to separate regulation and representation, thus removing any conflict of interest. Currently, bodies that regulate legal services provision also act as representatives of their profession, a position that could raise the question of impartiality. The Office of Legal Complaints will further increase public confidence through handling consumer complaints against legal services providers and ensuring a quick and fair response.
[JURIST] Thailand Army Commander-in-Chief General Sonthi Boonyaratglin [BBC profile], the leader of the military coup [JURIST report; AHRC backgrounder] that deposed civilian prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra [JURIST news archive] in September, told CNN in an interview broadcast Friday that the martial law imposed on the country [JURIST news archive] in the aftermath of the takeover would be lifted by the end of the year. He made the comment after being pressed to go beyond vaguer expressions of "when possible" and "soon". The country's Defense Secretary said afterwards that martial law would "definitely be lifted before the new year," but the head of the country's military council, the Council for National Security (CNS), added later that "This is not for the whole country as martial law will be maintained in some areas." VOA has more. The Bangkok Post has local coverage.The country's National Legislative Assembly [JURIST report], convened to draft a new permanent constitution for Thailand, is meanwhile preparing to debate the possible dissolution of five Thai political parties, including Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party and the leading opposition Democrat party. The Assembly is chaired by Thailand Supreme Court president Panya Thanomrod. TNA has more.
[JURIST] Italian Minister of Culture Francesco Rutelli has demanded that the Getty Museum [official website] in Los Angeles return all the allegedly-looted Italian antiquities it is said to possess, and not just the 26 pieces of a total of 46 that it has already undertaken to hand back [Getty press release]. Negotiations with the Getty over the looted objects broke down earlier this week. Rutelli said his department was investigating evidence concerning the provenance of "dozens" of other works held by the Getty, perhaps as many as 250, according to Italian authorities. Reuters has more.Earlier this year the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art [official website] signed an agreement [JURIST report] with the Culture Ministry [official website] under which it undertook to return several pieces of looted Hellenistic art in exchange for Italy loaning it other works of "equal beauty and importance." A similar agreement [MIBAC press release, in Italian] was recently signed with the Boston Museum of Fine Art. Under a 1939 Italian law, all archaeological property excavated in Italy belongs to the Italian state. Marion True, former director of the J. Paul Getty Museum, is currently on trial [NPR report] on charges of knowingly smuggling Italian artifacts in violation of the 1939 law.

Georgia is strategically important to the United States in the war on terror and an indispensable transit point for energy supplies between Asia and Europe. Though the countrys November 2003 revolution of roses is the most positive event to have occurred in the countries of the former Soviet Union in more than a decade, Georgia is entering an unstable period of transition as its new government tries to promote national coherence among the countrys ethnic groups and takes steps to dismantle the corrupt power structure that thrived under former president Eduard Shevardnadze.

Quote from misterwolf
Quote from crazyboy88
You guys definitely need to get better management, since missing a deadline is bad. You guys need to live up to the time line you committed, so if you had to work 24/7 for the last month of dec to finish this then you should have. No excuse is good enough to justify missing a deadline, since you gave yourself 7 months to finish this.
You are right about the management being bad, but the solution is not working 24/7 - it is actually having a clue what you are doing.
Isn't there some quote about 1000 monkeys at 1000 type writers?

Following the merger, Dr. Reagan was named Executive Director of Science & Technology for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The strong research program developed under his guidance has resulted in numerous significant contributions to the beef industry in the areas of beef quality, customer satisfaction, beef safety and beef cattle genomics.
Dr. Reagan managed the beef industry's Genome Mapping project which identified over 400 quality-related markers. Currently, over fifty of the markers are being validated across 13 different breeds of cattle. Reagan has also served as a member of the research team for the Carcass Merit project which is being managed by NCBA staff under his direct supervision. He has served as the Executive Director and Co-Leader for NCBA's Center for Research and Technical Services, and in December 2002, Dr. Reagan was named Vice President of the NCBA Research and Knowledge Management Center.

The penguins and puffins exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo will be closing, at least temporarily.
The zoo said Monday that the closing is necessary as work begins on a new polar bear exhibit. The closing date isn't set but it is expected to happen in the fall and continue through early 2015.
The McDonnell Polar Bear Point is expected to open in the spring of 2015. It will feature a walk-through cave where visitors can watch polar bears swim above them.

By most any measure President Barack Obama's second-term inauguration on Monday will be different from the first. It will be smaller and less rousing. And like most every incumbent, he'll be facing a much more skeptical electorate.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll shows a big dip in the number of voters who feel optimistic about how Mr. Obama will do in his second term compared to how voters felt four years ago about his first term. Only 51% of those surveyed are "optimistic or satisfied" that "he will do a good job," down from a remarkable 66% in January of 2009.
But the feelings are far from uniform. While the bloom is off the rose for Mr. Obama with some people and places, others are feeling pretty good about four more years.
There's a clear split along racial lines. Less than half of white Americans, 48%, say they feel good about a second Obama term. In 2009 60% of whites were optimistic. Meanwhile, nearly nine in 10...

As Washington debates how to fix the economy, one essential piece of the puzzle, the housing market, remains a drag.
At its go-go peak in 2005, the residential housing industry made up about 19% of the national gross domestic product. After the housing crunch and the foreclosures that poured into banks, the industry's percentage of GDP dropped sharply. In 2010, the industry was down to about 15% of GDP. It has improved since, but is still limping along.
This week saw a few more pieces in the housing turnaround effort fall into place, including the billion-dollar settlement of some banks over their housing practices and new rules for mortgage lenders from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
But despite the best efforts of policy makers, greasing the skids for a housing recovery presents some unique challenges for Congress and the Obama Administration. And a big part of any turnaround equation may simply involve waiting. The housing collapse wasn't just a...

Call it the cliff twist: Lawmakers representing areas most likely to get hit by the fiscal-cliff bill's higher taxes were also more likely to vote it.
The fiscal cliff bill — which raises income taxes on households making over $450,000 a year — passed because of support from House members representing some of the wealthiest congressional districts in the country. Viewed the other way, lawmakers from less wealthy districts — the ones less likely to see a big tax hit — were the ones most opposed to the bill.
On average, the "aye" votes on the bill came from districts where 4.7% of the households earned $200,000 or more. In the districts that voted "nay," 3.6% of the households were in that rarified income group. (The U.S. median household income is around $50,000.)
And it's important to note that those divisions held up even when one breaks the vote down by Democratic and Republican districts. In the...

The Republican Party's "Hispanic problem" is common knowledge to anyone who has looked at the presidential election results. It's become a crucial part of the 2012 narrative. But despite all the ink, airtime and pixels given to the topic since Election Day, you can't fully appreciate the depths of the problem until you match those results up against Hispanic population growth patterns.
The impact of the GOP's Hispanic gap could be bigger than many realize.
The size of the Republicans' challenge becomes clear when the growth in the nation's Hispanic population through Patchwork Nation's 12 county types. The Hispanic population had been growing across the board, but the increases in some county types in particular – the Immigration Nation counties, Monied Burbs and Boom Towns – look to have far-reaching impacts.

Friday's mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut – 27 dead at an elementary school, including 20 children (at this writing) – will almost certainly reignite the debate about gun control in America. It was the second such event in the United States in since this summer and the shootings in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado that left 12 dead.
But sudden movement on gun control may not be likely.
In the wake of the Colorado tragedy, Patchwork Nation noted that gun control was unlikely to gain traction in the presidential campaign because of the ambivalence toward the issue in the electorate. Even in the influential and heavily-populated Monied Burb counties, the voters were essentially split, slightly favoring "gun freedom," according to an April Pew Research poll.
Here's an excerpt of that post and the numbers by county type:
In April, the Pew Research Center in a poll asked which was more important, "to protect the right of Americans...

As the votes from the 2012 election have trickled in, the size of President Obama's victory has grown – it's now more than 4 million votes.
That count should signify two things to Republicans who wanted to portray President Obama's win as a squeaker. One, while this margin is no mandate, it is bigger than either of George W. Bush's presidential wins in 2000 (in which he actually lost the popular vote) or 2004. Two, despite some GOP critiques that Mr. Obama won by capturing small slices of the electorate, the net result was a pretty broad win.
But looked at through Patchwork Nation, there is one larger overriding concern for the Republicans in the 2012 election results: despite all the talk of minority voters and demographic segments, there are signs they are losing the political middle.
That shift reveals itself when you look at the 2012 vote counts and margins compared to previous elections, particularly 2004, in the wealthy Monied Burbs, the...

It's nice to think that the holidays are bigger than politics. With a long, hard election behind us, the healing can begin as Democrats and Republicans unite in an annual binge of communal consumerism.
Alas, it's not that simple. America's red/blue divide goes deeper than the ballot box.
The socioeconomic targeting and demographic slicing that are all the rage now in Washington actually have their roots in consumer marketing. And as the commercial niche-ing practices have grown (and grown better), the red/blue divide has become another way for retailers to better understand where to place their ads and their stores.
What the data show: Democrats and Republicans not only see the world differently and vote differently, they often shop differently. You can see those differences in the data of Experian Simmons, a consumer research firm that tracks the shopping habits of Democrats and Republicans with a massive survey.
The red/blue retail divide is not easy...

Of all the big winners on Election Day, one of the biggest may have been a concept: the gender gap in American politics.
From President Barack Obama's 11-point edge with women over Mitt Romney in exit polls to Republicans losing two senate seats over troubling statements about rape, 2012 seemed to further the idea that gender is the leading definer of Democratic voters: double x marks the spot.
But lumping more than 50 percent of the population into a group and talking about it as a single unit can oversimplify things a lot. Go deeper into the 2012 exit poll numbers to look at the women's vote and picture begins to change.
To be clear, the gender gap in America is not a myth—the numbers show it's real—but it's also very complicated. It can grow or shrink depending on a host of factors: race, age, marital status, even geography.
Let's start with one of the biggest story lines of 2012: that the gender gap was an epic problem for Romney and the...
November 12, 2012
In politics winning is always the goal, but not all wins are equal. A win built on declining populations and shrinking voter bases, is still a win. But a win based on growing voter bases brings with it hopes of a naturally rising tide of voter support
This is the angst behind the comments of many Republicans, who fear their party's deep deficit with Hispanic voters in 2012 is a very bad sign. They fear falling further behind in a game that is changing before their eyes.
So with that in mind, Politics Counts tried to map the battle for growing America. We went through Tuesday's presidential results by county and compared them to Census figures to see who won the "growth vote" Tuesday.
Looking at the numbers that way, results for just growing counties, may bring some solace to the Republican party and its nominee Mitt Romney. Underneath, however, there also appears to be some issue strengths for President Obama and the Democrats in places...

Elections produce many things, from balloon drops to new elected officials, but they also produce mountains of data.
Analysts will spend weeks going through the 2012 results and exit polls pulling out bits and strands of numbers that explain what this state or that county did. Those facts and indicators will be what future campaigns are made of. But a quick rundown of the 2012 numbers reveals a few big trends of particularly significant note. They are important not only because of what they say about what happened on Tuesday, but also about what they say about the elections to come.
And they exist at some important hinge points in American society: race and ethnicity, income and education and the urban/rural divide.
Race and Ethnicity
Through the most basic prism, political analysts had a very good sense of how the election was going to break last night simply by looking at who voted.
Before the big states were decided the exit polls showed the national electorate was...

At this time, there isn't enough evidence to recommend curcumin for preventing or treating cancer, but research is ongoing.
Curcumin, a substance found in the spice turmeric, has long been used in Asian medicine to treat a variety of maladies. Now some research suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat cancer.
Curcumin is thought to have antioxidant properties, which means it may decrease swelling and inflammation. It's being explored as a cancer treatment in part because inflammation appears to play a role in cancer.
Laboratory and animal research suggests that curcumin may prevent cancer, slow the spread of cancer, make chemotherapy more effective and protect healthy cells from damage by radiation therapy. Curcumin is being studied for use in many types of cancer.
Studies of curcumin in people are still in the early stages. Clinical trials are under way to investigate curcumin as a way to prevent cancer in people with precancerous conditions, as a cancer treatment, and as a remedy for signs and symptoms caused by cancer treatments.
Research is ongoing, and there isn't enough evidence to recommend curcumin at this time. As always, talk with your doctor before using any herbal supplement.

Nonallergic rhinitis occurs when blood vessels in your nose expand (dilate), filling the nasal lining with blood and fluid. There are several possible causes of this abnormal expansion of the blood vessels or inflammation in the nose. But, whatever the trigger, the result is the same — swollen nasal membranes and congestion.
Many things can trigger the nasal swelling in nonallergic rhinitis — some resulting in short-lived symptoms while others cause chronic problems. Nonallergic rhinitis triggers include:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — State air pollution regulators said Monday that California's air quality is not expected to worsen appreciably after the governor ordered the release of a dirtier blend of gasoline to help slash record-high pump prices.
The California Air Resources Board issued a regulatory advisory a day earlier after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered them to allow so-called "winter-blend" gasoline to be sold in California earlier than usual to increase supply.
AAA said the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in California hit $4.668 Monday — the highest price in the nation and an all-time high for the Golden State. Analysts said the spike has been driven by refinery disruptions and corrosion issues in an important pipeline.
"This action is necessary to address the extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstance," said the board's advisory allowing the use of the more polluting fuel. "(It) is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety or general welfare."
California usually converts to the gas on Oct. 31. The fuel evaporates in heat more quickly than summer-blends, so sends more pollutants into the environment, especially in warm weather.
Gil Duran, a spokesman for Brown, said the governor looked at all the options available, particularly scientists' prediction that such a change would not have a significant effect on the environment and "when he learned this could increase the supply by 8 to 10 percent, it just made sense."
Sunday's action was the first time since 2005 — when gas supplies were affected by refinery disruptions in the wake of Hurricane Katrina — that the air board has approved early conversion to winter-gas blends.
Officials said it could take days before prices fall, depending on how quickly refineries can get the winter-blend fuel to market.
"The gasoline market moves on news, and this is clearly good news in terms of supply, because it should be able to increase supply immediately," said Alison apRoberts, a spokeswoman with the California Energy Commission.
The third day of record-setting prices at the pump has also prompted calls for a federal investigation.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., on Monday asked the Department of Justice's oil and gas price fraud working group to look into whether maintenance issues at refineries were being used as an excuse to drive up energy prices.

My brother has the dog from hell. Actually, he is very sweet, but they cannot leave anything around or he eats it, bags, coffee grounds, beans and all. Yes, this dog has eaten entire loaves of bread while still in the plastic bags, tried to eat a bag of screws, nuts, bolts, bag too. He has eaten boxes of candy and box, socks, underwear, you name it, he does it. Why and what makes him do it I don't know, a mental defect I suppose. They have taken him to the vet, to no avail. I know, you all think this is funny, until you have had to clean up the mess for the umteenth time. Disgusting. The dog eats his dog food, gets water, treats, but still eats anything in sight. I caught him eating a bar of soap. I think the dog has gone mental.

My huband and I decided to grill some jalapeno poppers on the bbq one nice summer day. We made 24 of them.. they looked and smelt great. Had cream cheese in the middle of them and a slice of bacon on the outside. We stepped out of the kitchen for a few minutes, and my Irish Setter snagged ALL 24 of them off of the counter. We rushed her to our vet (who saved her life) and pumped out her stomach.. Afterwards, he asked me for the recipe... :)
