Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
PaintBoard aims to fill the need for a basic, streamlined, and Mac-native image editor. Whether you need to quickly crop a photo, add some text to an image, or just have fun doodling, PaintBoard has you covered.
PaintBoard is an inexpensive painting program for OS X that can be used to teach students the basics of painting software. Many sophisticated graphics software applications (such as Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop) use the same basic principles that can be learned using PaintBoard.
Using any painting program involves learning how to use the menu bar and the tool bar. PaintBoard also includes a color palette that allows the user to choose both foreground and background colors with which to work.
New Features in 2.0:
•Transparent selection and marching ants for the selection tool
•A completely rewritten Text tool for pinpoint-accurate insertion
•Four all-new tools: Airbrush, Rounded Rectangle, Eyedropper, and Zoom
•Image resizing, canvas resizing, and cropping
•Countless bug fixes and speed improvements
•and more!
PaintBoard can open and save to most major image formats, including BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and GIF. Full support for transparency is available for image formats that support an alpha channel (currently PNGs and GIFs). You can also paste images copied from many common Mac applications, including Microsoft Office and Apple iWork.
Interested now? Just download and try it!
What's New in Version 2.1.2
•New image effect "Comic Effect" added (In "Menu->Image->Comic Effect");
•bug fixes;
•A big update's coming soon ;)
Customer Reviews
Simple Image Manipulation Program
I think something like this should come standard with Mac OS but this is working pretty well and is much easier to grasp than other complicated graphics solutions. There does seem to be a problem with the paste function though?
So I just purchased this app other day and started creating an image on it. The freaking app crashed @ least 3 times on me. When I was finally towards the end of my project, it crashed again and lost all my progress I am so freaking upset! I wouldn't recomment this app at this point as it crashes alot.

Celebrity Spokespeople: Not Just for the Mega Chains

Most consumers can recall a celebrity-driven fast food marketing campaign, whether it's Michael Jordan and Larry Bird shooting hoops for McDonald's or Michael Phelps bringing gold to Subway.
But celebrity spokespeople extend beyond the mega-famous endorsing for the mega-chains.
Take Penn Station East Coast Subs, for example. The Cincinnati-based brand has used regional celebrities such as Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday and Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jay Bruce to support various campaigns.

The D-BSSE is one of the ETH Zurich's youngest departments and the only one located in Basel outside of the Zurich campus. The unique blend of researchers in this department makes it an exciting venue for academics interested in biological questions.
The D-BSSE includes researchers from disciplines such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science (Informatics), and Engineering. The collective aim of the department can be summarized as follows:
1. Discover new facts about the functionality of living systems
2. Take these new findings and try to model them
3. Use the resulting models to devise and engineer novel biosystems
Taking men's concerns seriously: ETH biotechnologists are developing a biotech solution for erectile dysfunction that consists of a gene construct and a blue light.

White House Backs Right To Unlock New Cell Phones
Originally published on Tue March 5, 2013 2:23 pm
Following the lead of FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, the White House said yesterday that it believed users should be allowed to unlock their cellphones without breaking the law.
The White House made the statement in response to an online petition signed by more than 114,000 people. R. David Edelman wrote:
"The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs."
As we've explained, at the beginning of the year a law went into effect that makes it illegal for Americans to reprogram new cellphones.
The FCC said it was exploring whether it had the authority to review this new rule.

Warner Bros has secured the rights to create and distribute games based on the Lord of the Rings films. The first of these is to be The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest, an action-adventure done with a 3rd person viewpoint. Warner's President, Martin Tremblay spoke:
"The Lord of the Rings franchise is world famous for its captivating adventures, we're creating new experiences in the game space designed to appeal to a wide range of consumers from core to casual. Aragorn's Quest is the first of several different types of games we'll be developing with the film and literary rights. It's also the first game allowing kids and their families to interact in their favorite locations and stories from The Lord of the Rings with accessible gameplay".
My new least favorite word: accessible. The game puts the player in the shoes/boots of Aragorn, as he progresses through a series of his most notorious battles from the trilogy. Combat weapons include swords, bows and spears. Aragorn travels the lands of Middle-earth on foot and on horseback at times.
Development of the Wii version is being handled by Headstrong Games, the studio behind some solid games like Battalion Wars 2 and The House of the Dead: Overkill.
You can expect The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest to hit shelves this Fall, available on Wii, DS and some other lesser systems (namely PS2 and PSP).

I have been using this toner for a long time. I only use it when my skin feels more oily than usual (especially around nose and chin) and the result is great. It leaves the skin fresh, needs moisturizer re-balance it afterwards otherwise it dries my skin out. I find it very good for the price.

Received this as part of a set with the cleanser and moisturizer.
-Minimizes pores
-Mattifies oily parts of face
-Fair trade
-Medicinal smell
-Drying for normal or combination skin types
Personal thoughts are this product is optional for the skin care routine. If you want to use it effectively, only dab onto oiliest parts of your skin such as your T-Zone. Stop using if you notice that it dries out your skin too fast and always use with the tea tree moisturizing lotion.

I have bought 3 or 4 of these bottle and originally I loved them! They worked so well but i then stared getting a bunch of clogged pores. It's was horrible! I just switched off of this and my skin when back to normal. I'm very upset my holy grail toner has turned its back on me and now I'm stuck trying to find another

Apparently it doesn't work for a lot of people, but for me it works perfectly. I have combo skin and I use this twice a day. I have used it twice a day for a month and I haven't had one bump -- even when hormonally when I usually get them -- no bumps!
Tea tree works great on my skin, but sometimes tea tree products burn (maybe alcohol content) but this does not.
When the body shop is having one of their 50% off sales this is especially worth it.

I would not recommend this if you have sensitive skin. This irritated my skin and left it red. If you love tea tree oil and want a toner, I recommend lush's tea tree water.

First thing first, this product irritate my skin and I'm irritated by the line itself. Every product in this line is just too harsh on my skin. I breakout abnormally after using this. I have extremely oily skin and by that i mean my whole face gets oily. Not just t zone but cheeks, eyelids whatever you name it. I dont have acne but i do get big cystic pimple here and there, every now and then. It leaves of a menthol feel too which i hate. Overall, i wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Thanks.

This was great for maybe a 1- 3 weeks. Then I had a serious breakout and it only made it worse and more irritated, and months later and I am still searching for something to reverse the damage. Also I mean, it's kindof a pain in the butt that you have to shake the bejeezus out of the bottle before every use.

Love this product! Will most definitely be repurchasing (have been for the last few months already!) Strong enough to stop little breakouts yet not so strong it causes overdrying/breaking out. May be slightly more expensive than the supermarket brands but the results are well worth the extra price :)

First of all, my skin LOVES tea tree oil, I have great success applying pure tea tree to blemishes and watching them disappear. Needed a new toner, seemed like a no-brainer. I was genuinely excited to start using this, knowing, again, that tea tree keeps my skin clear better than salicylic acid and benzyl peroxide. OVERNIGHT disaster zone! 1 month later and I still have scarring, I will never use this product again-it broke me out in deep, infected acne like crazy! Contemplating wether something else was going on I was afraid, but I did go bad to this 1 month later-same result only this time required medical treatment! My skin hated this product. Disappointing.

Todd Spodek exhibited a manner with me that one may expect from a dedicated social worker... always kind and considerate with an obvious devotion to his work. I had contacted him as I had received a target letter from HRA last June, the whole situation took 4 months to resolve and conclude (favorably for me), and during this time Todd was always available by text with a follow up phone call, in which I was aways made to feel I was a special client. This company is so very experienced with matters of this type, and have many cases going on at the same time with the HRA office, but I was never made to feel that I was just one of the crowd. I also had 3 one on one meetings with him which were never rushed, and I always left his office with a sense of well-being, feeling safe and nurtured as a client. His colleagues are cut from the same cloth as him, and they all work together as a team to create an environment of laid back efficiency which is wonderful and reassuring for clients to feel.
I heartily recommend Todd Spodek and The Spodek Law Group, and consider it my very good fortune that I contacted this office last June!
Represent me and my husband throughout the investigation. Very fair, took time to explain the process and the likely results. Interviewed a few lawyers and happy I chose Todd. Most lawyers immediately tried to scare us that we were going to be charged criminally whereas Todd pulled up all of the active cases in their system and showed how a very small % who recieve target letters actually get prosecuted. Todd said the case would take 3 month's and took more then 5 though.
The firm has a team that handles medicaid and food stamp fraud investigations in n NYS. Once hired they immediately canceled the scheduled meeting with the investigator and faxes over a letter of representation, next a claim detail report was uploaded to their online client portal system. I uploaded my tax returns, paystubs, mortgage statement and information about some real estate I have an interest in. Next I received a memo detailing the issues and what the recommended course of action was. The work on the case was transparent, and very detailed. The process took four months and ultimately I settled both cases with a payment plan and obtained a full written release and I never made any admission of guilt or liability.
I hired Mr. Spodek to represent me on two occasions and he has consistently addressed my needs with the highest professional acumen. He is extremely responsive, empathic, detail oriented and offers his services at reasonable cost. If you require legal services look no further.
i am so happy with todd spodek. he did a great job with my case and had my chargers seriously reduced. todd kept me informed from start to finish, and gave me his private cell phone number so i could call him anytime. no one does that!!!! he was always there for me and had the kindness and caring for me that helped me thru my ordeal. i highly recommend todd if you are in need of his or his law firms services. TODD YOU ROCK!!!!
In the simplest of terms, Todd saved my life. I was given a laundry list of bogus criminal charges out of nowhere when a jealous girl I used to date called the police on me. From the second I called Todd, he was there for me from arraignment through prosecution to dismissal with sealing of the case. Todd took me out of a dark hole during the darkest time of my life and restored my life to the status I had prior to this nightmare. In a world where innocence doesn't always prevail, Todd was able to support such innocence in my case with evidence and facts and, in turn, resolve the case favorably with not only every criminal charge, but every violation charge dismissed and sealed. The only downside is that I have no idea how to repay someone for literally saving my life.
When you get arrested there are so many things that happen you can't even begin to sort them out. When the facts are cloudy it's even worse. At the worst time in my life the worst possible moment we found mr Spodek via the Internet. Right from the start he told me exactly what to do where I stood and what my options were. He asked that I be honest and truthful with him and he would meet that with hard work. My patience was rewarded with a full dissmissal of charges and my good name back. Everyones situation is different but for me and my experience with Todd, he quite simply was the one lighthouse in the worst storm my life has ever faced. Working with him and trusting his judgement made it possible. If I would let the public defender handle my case man it would have been a lot worse. He was so good we literally had other attorneys stay and watch him try my case and not because they were waiting for there docket number to be called. He was awsome. I can't thank him enough.
I can't thank Todd Spodek enough for his hard work and dedication in helping my son and me during a very stressful time. My son was in college in New York and I was in Florida when he was pulled over and caught with possession of marijuana. He was in Queens county jail, and I was in my house in Florida. I had no idea what to do. We were scared.
I searched the internet and called Todd Spodek because it was rated A+ in his reviews. I had none communication with my son. Mr. Spodek gave me a piece of mind he said he was going to take care of everything, He communicated with my son and explain everything to him as well. By the end of the day we both felt that we had made the right choice to hire him. Mr. Spodek was always keeping us up to date and always accessible. I would recommend him to anyone. We couldn't have asked for a better Attorney or a better outcome, and he was with us every step of the way. We never felt lost. Thank you, thank you, thank you! May God bless you.
Todd represented me in the HRA Medicaid case. He was knowledgeable and very accessable from the start to the finish. At the end, the case was closed with reasonable settlement. I highly recommend him for such cases.
Kings County family court is the worst place in the world. I am so thankful that I hired an attorney I trusted to represent me in hell.
Todd made the case go quickly, efficiently and worked out a mutually beneficial settlement with my child's mother. Two court appearances and the matter was finished.

Another Obama Energy Dud
A123 Systems, a Massachusetts-based battery manufacturer, received $249 million from Barack Obama's failed stimulus program. : At the time they received the money, A123 pledged that the nearly quarter-billion-dollar stimulus money would lead to the creation of thousands of new jobs.
Said company President David Vieau when the company opened a factory in Livonia, Mich., in 2010:
"Over the next several years, we expect to create thousands of jobs in Greater Detroit and plan to continue our expansion in the area as we do our part in helping the U.S. emerge as a global leader in the production of advanced lithium ion batteries."
Like all stimulus recipients, reporting job creation statistics to Recovery.gov was required of A123 Systems.
Recent disclosures reveal only a few hundred positions were actually created before A123 Systems joined with $500 billion failure Solyndra to become part of the growing list of green energy companies which ended in bankruptcy after receiving federal stimulus funds.
The stimulus tracking database' latest jobs report shows a mere seven positions were created by grant money from April 2012 to June 2012. : When all the reports are combined, since 2009, a grand total of 408 new positions have been created with the stimulus dollars.
That works out to more than $300,000 per job.
How many families suffering the effects of the $50 billion dollar blow delivered by "super storm" Sandy could use some of that money?
Solyndra alone wasted ten times the amount of the estimated repair costs.
Four million people are still without power.
Speaking of power, all the people who have been living without heat or lighting for the past few days have been given a preview of how everyone in the United States will live if Obama is reelected and continues his disastrous energy policies.
The choice could not be simpler.
Sentence America to a new dark age (literally) or elect a new President Romney, who will develop domestic energy.: Not only will the U.S. be freed from the hostile grip of OPEC, the jobs created by development of domestic American energy cannot possibly be shipped overseas.

Diamond Jubilee Service, Sydney
A wonderful service from Sydney Cathedral. And the sermon, unlike one given in another place, sought to not only praise Her Majesty for her wonderful service over 60 years, but also to unashamedly point all those listening to the King of Kings, unlike any other King.

Get Ready for CIRCUIT This Summer - Our Developer Conference
February 25, 2014 4:53 PM

Today, we are pleased to announce CIRCUIT, our Adobe developer event, that will take place June 4-5 at the House of Blues. What?! The House of Blues? Isn't that a restaurant and a music venue? Yes, yes it is. We're going to take over the joint and their main restaurant and stage for our little soirée. This includes lunch in their renowned Foundation Room. For our first year, we want CIRCUIT to be intimate, funky, and friendly.

The Importance of Regression Testing
January 15, 2014 3:47 PM
Agile Methodology seems to be the favored approach when an organization has to make frequent releases to production and requires a faster release process with new changes, improvement, or functionalities in each release to production. Regression testing is an important step in the complete testing process, one that re-tests the already-functional parts of a software project after each release. After any improvement, new functionality, or bug fix, it is crucial for the tester to make sure that other fully-working processes in the software application are still working as expected before it heads out to production.
Integrating Adobe Experience Manager with Google Tag Manager

AWS Cross-Zone Load Balancing solves Akamai DNS caching
November 12, 2013 8:26 PM
AWS's Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) have often had issues with services that cache DNS lookups. Akamai is an example of one service where we have had to deal with this. As you may already know, lookups against an ELB's DNS address can return several IPs, and each of these IPs correspond to a particular Availability Zone (AZ). This offers you the conventional DNS round-robin method of load balancing. When these IPs are cached, however, there have often been problems with Akamai edge servers.

I think it seems skechy that a country would alter its rules in order to get someone back in office. If rules are rules and can be changed acordingly to work the system why have them? Putin is an excellent leader but I feel like this move is going against the ideals of the original creators of the guidelines. I think Putin and Medvedev will do an excellent job in power like they are now, I mean they are only switching spots. There are rumors that Putin does a lot of discision making already so maybe things won't change too much. I think it is a bold move by Russia even if he is a solid leader.
Me thinks that the Putin fanclub will one day realize what a disaster he is (and will be) for Russia, though it may take a decade or more for that to properly sink in. Of course, there'll always be the diehards - just as there remains a few tortured souls thinking Lenin and Stalin part of human kinds greatest leaders. But, nationalistic chest thumping, accompanied with the customary "panem et circenses", all while looting the state till with your cronies isn't quite qualifying as statemanship.
If Putin is who Russia wants to lead them then great! That is why they have a democracy so that they can choose their leader. However, I feel like they should be careful and should be questioning why he is running again. Does he really believe in the democratic system? He is using loopholes to get around the system to have more power again. Their government is set up so that no one person has complete control for extended periods of time, and now their government is going to be run by the same man for a very long period of time. It just seems a little fishy.
It's so irritating to read the term "managed democracy" being used exclusively for Russia, as if, say, the US democracy is NOT "managed" by Wall Street and the wealthy. When you guys can show some amount of honesty? Pathetic!
"...........But one particular area where the West could be stronger (and ethical) is finance"..............
Thats the most absurd statement I have ever heard in my life.
Which "West"? Britain, the US? the "PIIGS" which??? That's quite incredible to read. They are BROKE.
It may have escaped you, but this is not the same West of James Watt, the Wright brothers, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, Alan Turning, George Stephenson, Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison, Kingdom Brunel.
Things are changing before our very eyes, but you are apparently blind to see it. The Chinese, Russians and others have a different approach, they can wait for their opportune moment, which n Russia's case was defined 10 years ago, but don't expect that they'll derail from it, step after step they are getting where they planned to go.
Not very good news for the western world
When the Russian people get concerned about their country they turn to the strongest man that they think will bring them up out of their troubles. By basically already electing Vladimir Putin, the Russian people think this will solve their problems while in reality they will be stepping backwards. With Putin again in charge, relations and trade with the West and allies will start to break down.
Although this rule change is advantageous for Russia at the moment, the ability for Russian presidents to rule for that amount of time, might end up biting them later. It is said that the highest approval rating of a president is on the day they take office. This idea that Putin can solve all of Russia's troubles, might just be an unrealistically hopeful sentiment. Putin is after all still in charge of the country whether he has the title or not. Any failings that are going on in Russia at the moment were not occurring without Putin's influence.
Dear Economist,
Putin has really ruffled your feathers, huh?
Even more than the your usual anti-Chinese fits that you seem to be having so often of late. Three columns in one week, wow! You should have spaced them out though. Now, you just sound like a baby throwing toys out of the pram.
JuliaGray1 writes: "Using Roosevelt as a precedent is not entirely fair. When America elected Roosevelt as president past the 2-term limit, we were in the midst of war. America needed a familiar face and in Roosevelt they found confidence." ----- We were at war when George Bush's second term was up, yet that didn't stop Barack Obama from getting elected. Besides, I do not think anywhere in the Constitution it states that it is necessary for a president to stay in office during a war.
Actual competition to Putin and his party is the best way for true Russian democracy to be established. It seems to me that perhaps Russians are just satisfied with the status quo. However, it will probably take a much more serious economic downturn in order for some rival competition to rise up.
What a nonsense: "...it will still be bad for Russia"!
Every year The Economist predicts bad future for Russia, but the country gains its power. Tens of times The Economist predicted riots on Moscow streets and growth of opposition, but Moscow remains calm. The Economist wrote a lot of words predicting that Putin and Medvedev will be fighting with each others, but they remain friends, both having high approval ratings.
Who are your experts, dear Economist? Are they professional journalists capable to see the realities - or just puppets of unlucky political fortune-tellers?
It's clear that you don't want strong Russia under strong leaders. Looks like strong Russian leader is bad for your bosses, not for Russia. Time to change your soothsayers, dear Economist!
Crikey the Kremlin trolls are out in force on here today - all that nonsense about the world putting Russian on a higher pedestal with Putin in charge. Well guys I have news for you, we'll put rusia on a lower pedestal, in the same group with all the other misruled kleptocracies, you could kick him out, you could vote for someone with more that one idea about running Russia, but you won't because you thing his macho gay-icon image impresses the world, frankly it just makes me laugh, as it does everyone else.
Already your talented young graduates dream of leaving your misruled country to live and work where there is a lot less corruption and the rule of law prevails. the world will benefit from the influx of talented young Russians over the next decade or so. So I guess we in the west will have Putin to think for that!
so long suckers!
I disagree that Putin's declaration to run for president in 2012 is a bad thing for Russia. A living legend, Putin almost single-handedly pulled Russia out of the despair and instability it was in, and re-installed a great sense of nationalism into his citizens. His approval ratings were almost always above 60% the entire time he was in office. Additionally, Putin managed to jump-start the Russian economy; with growth between 6-8% on average every year he was in office.
I also disagree with the inferences that Medvedev was Putin's puppet: the two share similar political ideologies and ideas, making it natural that they will have similar governing styles. However, the potentially 12-year term Putin will serve shows a shift from actual democracy towards fascist-style governments.
I am sure everyone in Russia is ecstatic Vladimir Putin can become their president once again. However, looking at this situation in the eyes of a citizen from a country other than Russia, this is quite alarming. Russia is becoming a powerhouse of a country and if Putin becomes president once again, their power will only increase more into a dominant power player in the world.
I think the fact that Putin was able to bring Russia back from the brink of disaster after the end of the Cold War alone shows that there is room for innovation under Putin's rule.
Although the US would prefer Medvedev remain in office since he's on slightly better relations with us, Putin's high approval rating shows that he may be just what the country needs.
Putin is THE MAN, and the rest of the world needs to give him the benefit of the doubt for the next few years.
Cold War NEW NUCLEAR ERA NEXT STOP! I Have another idea...let's jail this freak that wrote the article along with his fellows for provoking a new Cold War! This is A VERY GOOD WAY TO AVOID ONE! Would you fire a good manager in a company, if he was perfect in his job? Would you fire your accountant if he was also perfect in his job, because your circle did not approve of him? The same goes with politics, right now we need more managers than can bring results instead of "Democratically elected Puppets". And we all know how this Democracy was built, in fiscal and in sociopolitical terms sir! Democracy cannot be exported and if you read just a little bit of history, in ancient Athens, where Democracy was founded most people who applied their political rights even the commoners did have knowledge on what they were doing! Then again the chaotic situations were not avoided back then as they are not avoided now. Let me bring forth some parallel examples: The Sicilian Campaign-The Iraqi Campaign, The Libyan Campaign and so on. The Athenian Alliance-NATO which has stopped being legals since the fall of the Soviet Union (at least). The looting of the Alliance's Treasury- The looting of global economy by neo-anarcho-liberal bankers and you have the guts to call this style democracy! I am a citizen of the Western World and I can read and write and in fact I am so good at it that I can recognize "hired pens" like yourself!
The big question is: WHAT IS A TRUE DEMOCRACY AFTER ALL? Many blame Putin for being autocratic but very few look around to see what's happening in the UK or the US for that matter. The US is largely controlled by several regional elites, multi-millionaires in several generations who run the Wall Street, mass media, Hollywood, the oil industry etc. And, of course, the military-industrial complex. Nobody ever tried (or at least I have never run into such analysis) to FORMALLY describe the American system of government. It has NOTHING to do with democracy, as a matter of fact. At the corporate level (and the country is largely run by big corporations) America is simply a fascist totalitarian regime. And it only seems to be progressing along these lines... Damn it, look at Al Gore vs. GW Bush elections! Is that a democracy? Give me a break!
Putin becoming President of Russia could go either way when debating if its a positive step for the country. The fact that him and Medvedev are switching places and the editing of the constitution is borderline corrupt, doesn't mean he won't be a good ruler. Hopefully for Russia he is because he will be in power for a while. That being said, he needs to act on his promises and not beat around the bush and make claims he cannot fulfill to his people.
The fact that Putin remains in such a high approval rating and it was agreed upon to change their constitution supports that the Russian people appear to have blind faith in a leader that undoubtedly has done a large amount of good for the country in the past. What the Russian people need to watch is that their government doesn't subtly undermine them and become once again a Fascist regime that snakes its way into existence.
I don't think that Russia will change very much doing Putin's upcoming presidency. He really never left office after all. While Medvedev has been the official president, it is likely that Putin has been calling the shots all along. Some are saying that Russia is losing it's sense of democracy with Putin being in power for such a long time. But the fact of the matter is, the country is still holding fair elections and Putin's popularity is still sky high. The man in the presidency is the man that Russians have voted to be in charge of their country. Sounds like democracy to me.

ABC News' Arlette Saenz reports:
House Republicans showed their contempt for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the first oversight hearing for the agency, arguing it lacks accountability and allows one person to wield too much power.
Elizabeth Warren, the Obama administration advisor charged with setting up the CFPB, defended the agency amid stinging criticism from Republicans during a House Financial Services subcommittee hearing.
"If we had had this agency 6 years ago, 8 years ago, we would not be in the mess we're in today," Warren said.
House GOP members lambasted the agency for insufficient congressional oversight and for operating with one person in charge rather than establishing a board to oversee the agency.
"You have a lot of discretion and a lot of power, but I see very little accountability," Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said.
"I look at this congress – we are the voice of the American people, and when we don't have any oversight of what you're doing, I see that as incredibly problematic," Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., said.
But Warren countered the attack, arguing that the accusations are not true.
"The consumer agency is not the strongest agency in government. It is the most constrained and the most accountable agency in government," Warren said.
The CFPB is funded through the Federal Reserve and is not part of the appropriations process, and the Financial Stability Oversight Council possesses the ability to overrule decisions made by the agency.
Committee members also questioned the role of CFPB staff in ongoing rulemaking discussions regarding mortgage servicers. Warren admitted the agency has offered advice to Treasury and the Department of Justice when asked, but it has not taken part in any decision making discussions. Warren pointed to the future influence the CFPB could have in the mortgage servicing industry.
"The mortgaging servicing problem illustrates the importance of fair consistent enforcement," Warren said. "We need a cop on the beat that American families can count on. It is critical that we get this right."
The CFPB was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act in 2010, but the agency does not begin to assume responsibilities until this summer. Warren was tasked with setting up the agency when President Obama and Secretary Geithner named her as assistant to the president and special advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the CFPB.
The president has not nominated someone to formally take charge of the agency in the summer, prompting some GOP members to take issue with Warren's current role at the agency.
At the White House Press briefing today, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney addressed the Republicans' concern with the CFPB, saying the White House is confident there will be substantial oversight for the agency.
"The whole point of the creation of the bureau was to consolidate authority scattered across government to create real accountability," Carney said. "If you look closely, I think you'll see there actually there will be more oversight and accountability … of the CFPB than there is of any other federal banking regulator. So yes, we are confident that there is substantial and sufficient oversight."
