WASHINGTON - Redundant federal programs are leading to billions in waste, congressional auditors say, and the government is slow to adopt reforms to fix the problem.
The White House says President Obama recognizes the problem and will propose eliminating redundant programs in the budget plan he releases Wednesday.
Among the 31 areas of duplicative spending, spelled out in a report by the Government Accountability Office obtained by USA TODAY:
â?¢ Government agencies are spending billions on new mapping data - without checking whether some other government agency already has maps they could use.
â?¢ At least 23 different federal agencies run hundreds of programs to support renewable energy.
â?¢ Each branch of the armed services is developing its own camouflage uniforms without sharing them with other services.
The report, to be released Tuesday at a House Oversight Committee hearing, caps a three-year effort to catalog wasteful government spending.
"At a time of increased budget pressure, American taxpayers cannot afford to keep buying the same service twice," said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, in a statement prepared for Tuesday's hearing.
Over the past three years, the Government Accountability Office found 162 areas where agencies are duplicating efforts, at a cost of tens of billions of dollars.
How many billions? No one knows. "The big problem the GAO had, if you read the report, they can't adequately estimate their savings because agencies can't tell them how much they're spending," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who authored the amendment requiring the annual reports. "We're a mess."
The Obama administration says it's making progress through its Campaign to Cut Waste, and will propose more action when the President Obama's 2014 budget is released Wednesday.
Obama will propose the cutting or consolidating 215 federal programs, saving $25 billion next year, according to an administration source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the budget hasn't been released. Two specific areas Obama may reorganize: the 220 science education programs spread over 13 agencies, and the more than 40 federal job training programs.
"From day one, the President has made rooting out waste and improving the way government works a top priority," said a statement from Danny Werfel, controller of the Office of Federal Financial Management. "The President's 2014 budget will include new proposals to reorganize programs and streamline and strengthen services, building on the hundreds of proposals the President has proposed each year to cut, consolidate or save money on programs that are no longer needed."
Often, the government funds the same research with different grants. The GAO found 29 Department of Homeland Security contracts that partly or completely overlapped with research being done by another part of the same department. Five contracts funded research into the detection of the same chemical.
And sometimes, grants from different agencies are awarded to the same researchers, allowing them to "double dip."
Virginia Tech professor Harold "Skip" Garner followed up on previous GAO reports and examined a database of 850,000 federal grants. Using text-matching software, he identified 167 grants, worth $200 million, that appeared to be funded through two different grant programs - just in the field of bio-medical research.
"The point is, the government agencies don't exchange information about their funded programs. There's no centralized place where all this stuff could be managed and searched and discovered," Garner said.
"It's because these agencies, of course, have different missions, and they're somewhat competitive. They like to see their money go to the best researchers," he said. "Competition is good, but cooperation is also good."
The report says the government is slow to address the program creep, following through on only 22% of the recommendations the GAO has made since 2011. But that's because of congressional inaction as much as bureaucratic resistance.
"Congress has the ultimate authority. Congress created all these programs. Congress ought to oversight them, downsize them, put metrics on them and fund them properly, and then come back in two years and see if they're effective," Coburn said. "It's hard because all programs have a parochial benefactor, and career politicians don't want to irritate anybody."

Windows maybe? That seems to be the consensus among the people I've heard selling (and justifying buying) RAM these days
Personally I'm happy with 2GB and don't notice any heavy swap activity.
If you're not doing any multimedia editing, the only other legitimate use for a large amount memory that I can think of is virtualisation (running one or more Xen/VBox/KVM etc. guests on your computer).
Some games may benefit from more memory, but I doubt you'd notice the difference even with most modern games.

Mammoth's Recreation Department has embarked on an ambitious summer schedule.
At least six new camps were announced on the town website last week, including two mountain bike camps, two skate camps and a "Experience a Bit O' Britain!" camp.
Um, er?
In the "Challenger British Sports Camps," campers will learn from British coaches games like Tag Rugby, Cricket, Rounders, Kick Ball, British Bull Dogs and team relays and obstacle courses.
"Last year we did a lot surveys of kids and their parents, and that really shaped our summer program for this year," said Stuart Brown, the town's recreation director.
"We focused on being more customer-centric, and one of the main things was to have new programs."
The programs also will feature local pro athletes in the skate and mountain bike camps, have partnered with local businesses for equipment and coaching.
In both skate camps, Wave Rave will provide the expertise. In the mountain bike camps, Footloose will get the nod in one while Mammoth Sporting Goods will get the other.
"We worked hard to get camps that were more indigenous to Mammoth than before," Brown said.
The official announcement of the camp schedule is weeks away, but the full camps schedules are on the town's website.

God Hates Us All
Slayer did a show at the Trocadero in SF CA in the mid to late 90's. I wish I could be more specific about the year. To have a Slayer show at such a small venue was really pushing the envelope. Whoever was responsible for putting on that show is lucky the club wasn't damaged permanently! I remember thinking that the stacks were way to big for such a small stage. And I was right! It was decibel warfare when SLAYER started their set! You could almost see the waves of the bass drum! And ...

While changeover is happening for the Slayer set, I started talking with some dudes named Mike and Pete seated next to me.

by rayalukI was lucky enough to get to go and see the boys play in Camden last night. The show was awesome! Typically tight sounding thrashing Slayer show. Getting to see "Old School Slayer Night" was perfect for me as 85-90 was when my musical taste was developed and I know the lyrics of every album front to back from that time period. Absolutely all my favorites! The pit was a little active throughout the show but I can tell that the Slayer audience is getting a little older as I ...

by KawalChujaI first heard Slayer in 1998. I was 11 at the time. My older brother just bought the Diabolus In Musica tape. I'll probably make a pussy out of myself but at first I was so fucking afraid of this whiteheaded motherfucker on the cover that I didn't want to get anywhere near this tape. But finally curiosity won. I've put the tape in, pressed play and I waited. It was on side A and the first track was Bitter Peace. At first it was normal. Some guitars, some drums. Just music. ...
by zaskar75SLAYER WERE IN TOWN MUST HAVE BEEN EARLY 90S ONLY PASSING THROUGH TO DO A SOUND CHECK , ME AND A LOAD OF OTHER KIDS FROM LIVERPOOL. DENIM OVER BIKER JACKETS ETC STOOD IN THE RAIN FOR HOURS MAN. LISTENING TO THE LADS PULL THE SOUND SYSTEM APART . AFTER ABOUT FIVE HOURS THE CAME OUT AND THROUGH A FEW SIGNATURES AND DONE A LEGGER , IVE STILL GOT MY SEASONS IN THE ABYSS PICTURE DISC SIGNED BY JEFF AND KERRY 20 YEARS LATER . RIP BIG MAN SOUTH OF HEAVEN
The song Warzone reminded me of My "ongoing war" with my step-father.HAHA!!
I love the lyrical theme of this album, Disciple! One of my all-time favorites. I remembered the first time I listened to this album, the part where Tom Araya screamed "GOD HATES US ALL! I put my ear-phones down and go Fuck yeah!!!
Some of my friends asks me if slayer's a satanist, I laughed and said fuck no dude, But its a cool fucking title! Like how Araya said in Sam Dunn's documentary : A headbanger's journey.
The best Paul Bostaph album by far. "I keep the bible in a pool of blood so that none of its lies can affect me" is one of the best lyrics of all time! Thank you Slayer for writing this album. Maybe a few idiots out there might stop believing in fairy tales.
The title is true which is killer, all the songs where killer but the main ones that stepped out to me was "Desciple" "God Send Death" my personall favorite song, "Bloodline" "Threshold" and "Exile" the only other thing was to me the otehr songs was average, which really disappointed me
All lyrics prove that Slayer had rewritten the book of the antichrist! Fast, dark and grim masterpiece from the best metal band of all times. Album speeds so well especially during the first seven tracks. Disciple and Payback are incredible!!! All riffs are damn fuckin' good. This album is the reflection of the feelings buried deep in your soul! Best Slayer record since Seasons In The Abyss. Hell yeah!
great album my favorit song of this album is disciple and the lyrics of this and all others albums are SLAYER allwayes loyal to his fans
God hates us all is (together with seasons in the abyss) my favorite album of all time. God hates us all is intense, agressive, deep, chaotic and dark. It also contains my favorite song of all time , DISCIPLE!! This album brougth me chills every time that I listen to it! It makes me wanna kill without really kill somebody. It has so much hatred that works like a terapeutic session for me. People who talk shit about this album, don't deserve be consider as slayer fans. These people only look to the esthetic of the music, and not to its real meaning. Till the day the I die , I'll always listen this album, every fuckin day! GOD HATES US ALL!!!!!!!!!!
A very angry sounding album. Kerry King's influence is stamped all over this.Fast and furios and classic Slayer. Say no more......
The really fucked up thing, is it was released on the same day the Towers fell... oh my!
That is when I knew SLAYER were fortune tellers, and Lord's of Chaotic happenings.

Week 8 NFL Game Recaps
Titans 27, Colts 10
Well, at least one thing made sense - and that was the Colts sucking. Coming off a disgraceful 62-7 defeat at New Orleans, Indianapolis showed no heart or fight in this divisional matchup.
Of course, it didn't help that Indianapolis continuously shot itself in the foot. The score at halftime was 20-0 even though Tennessee outgained the Colts by just 54 yards. The problem was a blocked punt touchdown, a Curtis Painter interception that bounced out of Pierre Garcon's hands and seven first-half penalties.
Texans 24, Jaguars 14
I'm obviously being facetious. Del Rio and Koetter once again proved that they are complete morons. Jones-Drew's 13 attempts went for a somewhat respectable 51 yards, while Gabbert once again was absolutely abysmal. The first-year signal-caller was a humiliating 10-of-30 for 97 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Whereas the other rookie quarterbacks are thriving, Gabbert still hasn't shown any signs that he can be a capable NFL starter.
Vikings 24, Panthers 21
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
The opening kickoff was the only one Minnesota returned the entire game. Marcus Sherels went 78 yards to put his rookie quarterback in a great opening spot on the road. However, Adrian Peterson was stopped for no gain, Greg Hardy knocked down a Ponder screen pass and rookie Terrell McClain sacked Ponder to stop them dead in their tracks. Ryan Longwell shanked the 45-yard field goal attempt.
Little did we know how much the next play would turn the game later on. Newton was sacked by E.J. Henderson and fumbled. Jared Allen, who occasionally made his presence felt in this one, was there for the recovery. The Vikings went to Harvin on consecutive runs and quickly covered the 16 yards for a 7-0 lead.
At least the Panthers did not let momentum sway too much, holding possession for 14 plays and converting a pair of third downs. The drive stalled when they failed twice on third down. The first time was an incomplete pass thrown into heavy traffic, but Byron Bell was called for holding. Leslie Frazier decided to back them up instead of risking a long made field goal. After an incomplete pass, the strategy paid off.
A shovel pass to Adrian Peterson (5 receptions for 76 yards, 1 TD) for 22 yards helped Minnesota change field position, but it wound up not mattering. Carolina's offense started to click with three big plays by Steve Smith (8 touches for 112 yards) totaling 57 yards, one being a creative run. A touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey tied it up at 7 early in the second quarter.
A flat possession by the Vikings followed. It was highlighted by Percy Harvin and Captain Munnerlyn, who had a terrific game, scuffling on the Panthers' sideline. It looked like Carolina might be starting to take over when Newton hit Greg Olsen on a beautiful 39-yard touchdown pass down the middle when he beat Husain Abdullah who probably wishes he had gotten safety help. Looking to get even, Minnesota drove right down the field, but at the end of a third-down conversion, Harvin had the ball stripped from his new friend Munnerlyn.
Carolina worked its way out of the poor field position only to watch Allen get a different part of the sack/fumble action, this time leaving the recovery for Chad Greenway. At this point, Peterson (21 carries for 86 yards, 1 TD) was getting stood up in the running game, so the Vikings smartly threw to him twice for a quick 39 yards and the tying touchdown as the half pretty much expired.
Once again, Carolina's offense got on the move, not even getting to third down until it was inside the Minnesota 30-yard line. Newton's 23-yard scamper was the highlight, and he capped the march by hitting Smith for a 22-yard scoring pass to put the Panthers up 21-14.
After an exchange of three-and-out possessions, Minnesota unleashed Toby Gerhart. His presence seemed to spark "All Day," who up to that point had been flat. Basically alternating to start the drive, the duo combined to carry the ball five times for a quick 48 yards. A pair of 12-yard completions helped move them to the red zone and Peterson capped the scoring drive with a 9-yard touchdown run to tie the game. The third quarter came to a close with a three-and-out by Carolina.
Minnesota's next two possessions were sandwiched around another three-and-out by the Panthers. This is where Ponder's steady play came in. He delivered a 13-yard pass to Visanthe Shiancoe on 3rd-and-11 to extend the first drive. On the next drive, Ponder utilized Percy Harvin to cash in another third down (11-yard pass) and completed two other throws totaling 37 yards with the game on the line. The drive did stall inside the 20 when he threw short twice, but Longwell hit the 31-yard field goal to put the visitors up 24-21.
At this point, I expected some Newton magic. He opened the drive with an incompletion, but hit Legedu Naanee and Jonathan Stewart on moderate gains to put the ball at the Carolina 40. Then he got caught by safety Husain Abdullah for the third and final sack he took, and only one he retained possession on. A short completion and misfire later made it 4th-and-14. I thought it was over, but he threw a strike to Brandon LaFell that covered 44 yards and put the ball at the Minnesota 21.
Two plays later, Smith was flagged for a crucial holding penalty when Newton had converted a third down by running to the 3. Newton hit Smith on a short gain, but the damage was done. Instead of trying for the winning touchdown, or kicking what amounted to an extra point to force overtime, Olindo Mare came in to attempt a 31-yard field goal. He pulled it wide and the game was over.
Now back to the rookie quarterback showdown. Looking up and down the box score, it was a dead even game in almost every area. What was the difference then? Ponder (18-for-28 236 yards 1 TD) protected the ball and Newton (22-for-35 290 yards 3 TD) did not. His two fumbles led to a pair of two-play touchdown drives totaling just 55 yards.
Another factor was Carolina's thin linebacker position. Omar Gaither went down in the second half and eventually, they just could not come up in run support. Aided by the running game and Ponder's key plays, the offense did just enough.
Rams 31, Saints 21
This game was not the result of some fluky turnovers or shady officiating. The Rams legitimately outplayed New Orleans. They outgained them by 50 yards and had two more first downs. The Saints' offensive line couldn't keep the St. Louis defenders out of the backfield. The Rams tallied a whopping six sacks, including three by Chris Long.
On the other side of the ball, New Orleans had no answer for Steven Jackson, who rumbled for 159 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Jackson also chipped in with four catches for 32 receiving yards.
Ravens 30, Cardinals 27
Let's take a look at how Kolb (10-of-21, 153 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) tried to lose this game for Arizona:
- He took six sacks, including three on the first two drives. I wouldn't say all of them were his fault, but most were the result of him holding on to the ball too long. Kolb's pocket presence and footwork have been beyond shoddy this year.
- Kob was strip-sacked on the third drive, leading to a Baltimore touchdown.
- He tossed an interception in his own territory down four at the end of the third quarter.
- Ray Lewis dropped a potential pick-six.
- Kolb had a lost fumble and an interception in the fourth quarter, but both were nullified by shady penalties.
And here were Flacco's gaffes:
- Flacco (31-of-51, 336 yards, 1 INT) missed a receiver on a 3rd-and-8 on the opening drive. His target wasn't completely open along the sideline, but it's a throw most solid quarterbacks can make nine out of 10 times.
- He nearly tossed a pick-six in the end zone later on that possession.
- Flacco was strip-sacked in the second quarter. Arizona would score two plays later.
- He was strip-sacked again in the third quarter. A lineman of his luckily pounced on it.
- Flacco missed Anquan Boldin in the end zone at the end of the third quarter.
- He fired behind Torrey Smith on a crucial third down in the final period.
Flacco was able to pile up the yardage by heaving deep bombs to Anquan Boldin, who torched all three of Arizona's top cornerbacks. Apparently motivated to defeat his former team, Boldin had seven grabs for 145 yards.
Giants 20, Dolphins 17
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
The Giants came back with a drive that yielded a field goal for New York. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw had a nice 18-yard run. Then, quarterback Eli Manning had a 21-yard pass to tight end Jake Ballard. Still, New York's drive fizzled inside the 20 and they had to settle for the kick. Miami kept up its strong play on its next drive. Moore ran for 11 on third-and-6. The next play saw running back Reggie Bush break out with a 35-yard run. He had a good hole to get to the second level of the defense. About 10 yards downfield, Bush broke tackles from Aaron Ross and Kenny Philips with a spin move. The Dolphins finished the drive on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Moore ran a bootleg and coasted into the end zone to give the Dolphins a 14-3 lead. The Giants were able to answer the score. With only a few seconds left before halftime, Manning tossed a perfect corner touchdown pass to Mario Manningham.
In the first half, Moore was excellent for Miami. He spun away from sacks, picked apart the secondary, and made critical drive-sustaining plays with his feet. His stats don't completely indicate just how well he was playing. He completed 8-of-11 passes for 71 yards with five carries for 31 yards and a score. Manning was also very good, throwing the ball accurately and making good decisions. The biggest issue for the Giants' offense was inconsistent play from the offensive line.
To start the third quarter, Bush ran for 41 yards on two carries to get Miami a field goal. That was all the scoring of the third quarter as the teams gave their punters some work. Early in the final period, Manning led a field goal drive with two good passes to Ballard. On the next possession, the Giants took the lead when Manning hit wide out Victor Cruz on a slant in the intermediate part of the field. He slashed his way through the secondary and dashed into the end zone for a 25-yard score. That put New York up 20-17.
The Giants' defense took over and started putting a lot of heat on Moore. New York's defensive line was overwhelming the Dolphins' front. Osi Umenyiora beat Jake Long for a sack. Mathias Kiwanuaka got by Vernon Carey for a sack on the next play. That ended up putting Moore in a 4th-and-23 just after the 2-minute warning. He threw downfield and was intercepted by Corey Webster. Jason Pierre-Paul, Linval Joseph and Justin Tuck also got into the sack column in the game.
Moore finished 13-of-22 for 138 yards and one interception. Earlier in the week, Bush admitted that he and his team have been terrible this year. Well, Bush tried to do something about it as he ran for 103 yards on 15 carries. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall had 55 yards on four catches.
Manning had a fabulous performance. He was 31-of-45 for 349 yards and two touchdowns. Bradshaw ran for 50 yards on 13 carries and had five receptions for 38 yards. The Giants wide outs all had solid games. Cruz led the unit with seven receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. Hakeem Nicks caught six for 67 yards and Manningham notched six receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown. Ballard caught four passes for 55 yards.
One thing that was clear from the game was both teams could use help on the offensive line.
Bills 23, Redskins 0
The Redskins couldn't do anything:
- Running the ball was not an option. Ryan Torain gained just 14 yards on eight carries (Roy Helu had no attempts) despite the fact that Pro Bowl nose tackle Kyle Williams was out. I thought Washington would be able to pound the rock without Williams clogging the interior, but the offensive line just couldn't open up any lanes.
- John Beck was awful (20-of-33, 208 yards, 2 INTs), but it's not like he had much of a chance. Buffalo's pass rush overwhelmed Washington's front, accumulating a ridiculous nine sacks.
- The defense was inept against both the run and the pass. Ryan Fitzpatrick went 21-of-27 for 262 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Both of Fitzpatrick's scores went to Scott Chandler (2-35). Steve Johnson paced the team in receiving (6-57).
- Fred Jackson was a nightmare for Washington. He rushed for 120 yards on 26 carries and also caught three balls for 74 receiving yards.
Lions 45, Broncos 10
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Detroit answered with Matthew Stafford exploiting broken coverage. There was a miscommunication as Titus Young was wide open in the end zone with no Bronco player within 30 yards of him. The 41-yard touchdown pass was Young's first score of his career.
Things got tough for Tebow in the second quarter. Lions defensive end Cliff Avril notched a sack-fumble after beating right tackle Orlando Franklin to nail Tebow from his blind side. The Denver signal-caller made a nice 16-yard pass to Decker as he stepped up and delivered a throw on the money, while also taking a hit. After that, Tebow was sacked again, this time by Stephen Tulloch, and started "Tebowing" right above the second-year quarterback.
Tebow then had a string of incompletions. Some passes were off the mark, but his receivers also had issues. On some good throws from their quarterback, the Broncos wideouts were dropping passes, and in the case of Demaryius Thomas, a pass was simply slapped out of the hands. The Bronco receivers were seeing man coverage but weren't getting separation. In the first half, Tebow was sacked three times and under steady pressure, making only 4-of-13 passes for 37 yards. He also had carried the ball four times for 15 yards. FOX analyst John Lynch was very critical of the Broncos' play calling for not setting up some easy completions.
When it was Detroit's turn, Stafford threw a jump ball and Tony Scheffler made a juggling 29-yard catch to set up the Lions at the Broncos' 2-yard line. Scheffler finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown reception on third-and-goal. Later in the second quarter, Stafford moved the ball through the air with a few passes to Calvin Johnson. That led to Maurice Morris diving to the goal line from a yard out. Detroit was up 24-3 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Tebow got hit from behind again by Avril. This time on the sack-fumble, Avril picked up the ball and ran into the end zone for a score. A short time later, Johnson torched Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey for a 56-yard touchdown pass along the sidelines.
In the fourth quarter, Denver finally got a drive going, but it ended in disaster. Tebow threw an awful pass for Decker that was too high and behind him. Cornerback Chris Houston had the ball sail to him, and with the interception in hand, he raced 100 yards down the field for a score. On the next possession, the Broncos finally responded to the Lions' 45 unanswered points. Tebow threw a 14-yard screen pass to Decker for the home team's only touchdown.
The game was extremely ugly for Denver. Tebow played poorly and got no help. His offensive line was awful, allowing seven sacks. His receivers couldn't get separation, and the play-calling was horrible. The Broncos' defense was equally terrible.
Tebow completed 18-of-39 passes for 172 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Decker led Denver in receiving with six catches for 72 yards and a score.
Stafford finished 21-of-30 for 267 yards and three touchdowns. Johnson collected 125 yards and a score on six receptions.
Steelers 25, Patriots 17
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
This was a massacre. Pittsburgh moved the chains at will. Ben Roethlisberger made New England's defense look like a bunch of high-schoolers. Meanwhile, the Steelers' stop unit put immense pressure on Brady and smothered his receivers. I'd say it was almost as if Pittsburgh was battling some CFL team, but that would be an insult to the CFL.
49ers 20, Browns 10
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
Overall, however, Cleveland's offense was without playmakers and unable to mount much of a threat. On their second offensive play, Colt McCoy (22-for-34 241 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) was greeted by Amhad Brooks, who lost his helmet along the way. The sack caused a fumble recovered by Isaac Sopoaga, who was not done making plays on the afternoon.
San Francisco's offense from the 20 was pretty simple. On the three productive plays, they handed it to Frank Gore who gained 14 yards and scored the touchdown. Other than not catching a single pass, he was leaned on heavily with 31 rushes for 134 yards and that score for an early 7-0 lead.
From time to time, McCoy did some damage with his legs, finishing with eight scrambles for 30 yards. He had one such run for a first down on the next drive, but the Browns stalled and punted. The 49ers were pinned at the 1-yard line when Gore made it outside and picked up 23 yards. Almost all of his effective runs were away from the two Hutts in the middle, Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor. His understudy Kendall Hunter followed with a nifty run for 26 yards breaking tackles along the way. With the defense stunned, there was only one play call - the pass to tackle Joe Staley. The former college tight end picked up 17 yards. The lengthy drive did stall eventually when an inside run by Gore was stuffed. A David Akers field goal made it 10-0.
Cleveland's offense managed one first down before punting and the first quarter came to a close. San Francisco got another big run by Gore for 26 yards in between a pair of 19-yard receptions from their tight ends Vernon Davis and Justin Peelle. A Gore touchdown run was overturned, and three consecutive runs failed, giving the Browns possession on downs.
It didn't matter too much. Cleveland did convert a third down with a 17-yard pass to Ben Watson and gained a little field position punting to San Francisco's 36. The 49ers sprinkled in a couple passes to their opponent's former top pick, Braylon Edwards, and capped the drive with a touchdown to their own top selection, Michael Crabtree, for the 17-0 lead. It was looking like a rout.
The Browns did show some spunk in the 2-minute drill though. Dashaun Goldson was nailed for a 15-yard penalty and Joshua Cribbs caught a 12-yard pass to help set up a 52-yard field goal attempt. It put them on the board at the halftime gun, but the home team was very much in control.
Whatever happened at halftime definitely changed things defensively for Cleveland. San Francisco went three-and-out on four of their first five possessions. The Browns got feisty on offense, but getting back to the opening statement, lacked the playmakers to pull this one out. Goldson made up for his penalty earlier by killing a drive that reached the San Francisco 34 with an interception. McCoy threw it up for rookie Greg Little in the end zone, but he was doubled up. The score held at 17-3 after the third quarter.
Rookie Aldon Smith sacked McCoy to end Cleveland's next drive, but the next time they got it, things became interesting all of a sudden. Cribbs caught a ball down the sideline and shed a tackle racing for a 46-yard touchdown. Leading by just one score, it was time for San Francisco's offense to regain their first-half form. This could mean only one thing - a pass to defensive tackle Sopoaga on third down from Cleveland's 32. It went for 18 yards and more importantly, allowed them to chew more time off the clock. The drive took 4:05 and concluded with a short Akers field goal to seal it at 20-10.
Cleveland managed some garbage time yards and that was that. There really was not much to this game. Alex Smith (15-for-24 177 yards 1 TD) did his usual thing, taking just one sack with no turnovers. McCoy (22-for-34 241 yards 1 TD 1 INT) was on his back four times and had the key fumble on the opening drive.
The 49ers rushed for 174 yards on the afternoon and were never legitimately in danger of losing the game even when the Browns pulled close late. Their conservative style might not work in a playoff setting against a high-powered offense, but in the regular season, it is serving them quite well.
Bengals 34, Seahawks 12
This was not a great complete game for Dalton (18-29, 168 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs), but it looked to be at first. He was 13-of-18 for 125 yards and two touchdowns by halftime, which means he was only 5-of-11 for 43 yards and a pair of picks after the break. Pete Carroll screwed up in so many things in this contest (including a called run deep in Cincinnati territory with only a few seconds remaining in the first half, which allowed the clock to expire), so I'll at least give him credit for making some nice second-half adjustments.
Jackson (21-of-40, 323 yards, INT) was better than Whitehurst (4-of-7, 52 yards), but only by default. The former was knocked out late with a minor injury.
Eagles 34, Cowboys 7
Maybe Vince Young wasn't so crazy/stupid. The Eagles completely demolished the Cowboys, finally looking like the so-called "Dream Team." Despite being just field goal favorites, Philadelphia outgained Dallas, 495-267. More impressively, they won the time-of-possession battle, 42:09 to 17:51.
- DeMarco Murray looks legit. The problem is that he didn't get many opportunities. Murray gained 74 yards on only eight carries. Dallas just couldn't run the ball because it was behind throughout and seldom possessed the football.
- DeMarcus Ware had a whopping four sacks, which is especially impressive considering the quarterback he was going after.

text: Please make an urgently needed donation now to help support the movement for the prosecution of Bush, Cheney and other officials. "The central defense put forth by Cheney is that the Bush administration's torture regime protected the country from terrorist attack. But the fact is that torture was used for the personal political goals of Bush and Cheney: namely, to sell their Iraq invasion to a very skeptical and disbelieving country," stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, attorney and co-founder of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF). The PCJF filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on behalf of itself, IndictBushNow.org and the ANSWER Coalition demanding information regarding the detention, torture and death of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi. We are seeking expedited release of this information. Under conditions of extreme torture, al-Libi agreed in 2002 to supply the Bush-ordered interrogators what they sought as a political cover for Bush's marketing of the pending war of aggression against Iraq. (To read the actual FOIA, click here.) Yesterday, Cheney went on national television to complain about the threats from criminal prosecution for Bush-era officials. He and the Bush gang have every reason to be worried. Al-Libi's tortured and knowingly fabricated testimony was the source of information used by Bush to sell the war to the U.S. Senate, and the source for Colin Powell's bogus and lying presentation to the United Nations in 2003. What were the questions put to him under torture? With your continued support, we are building a truly massive case for prosecution. The Constitution requires nothing less. Please make an urgently needed donation right now so that we can continue to build this nationwide campaign with demonstrations, rallies, newspaper ads and a nationwide lobbying effort. This information about al-Libi's imprisonment and questioning under torture must be revealed and the FOIA demand we have issued will do just that. The dueling press conferences and the debate erupting among the political leadership from the current and prior administrations makes the relevance of this information central to addressing once and for all the criminality of Bush's and Cheney's torture program. Please Donate Today Please help us continue this work with a generous donation. The truth is coming out and the pressure is building, but we can't do it without your contribution. Please click this link to donate today. --From all of us at IndictBushNow.org All active news articles

Was Jake Pavelka Kristin Chenoweth's Date at the American Country Awards?
Kristin Chenoweth may be "single and loving it," but she does admit she's been "spending a little time" with Season 14 Bachelor Jake Pavelka. How serious is it? Well, it seems like they're attending-an-award-show- together serious, at the very least!
Last night, Kristin hosted the 2012 American Country Awards in Las Vegas. While she posed on the red carpet either solo or with her co-host Trace Adkins, we do know Jake attended the pre-show rehearsals, if not the live event itself.
It's possible Jake got into the event on the wings of Bachelor celebrity, but we think it's more likely that Cheno invited him. What do you think — is their relationship more intimate than they're letting on?

How to say "Thanks but no thanks" without hurting feelings
I have a good way to let people know that I really am not interested, but in such a way that they aren't offended. We are on a Catholic site after all... we should probably avoid hurting people unnecessarily. They did take the time to reach out to you.
So what you do is pick something about their profile that is not compatible with you. Choose something that they really cannot change, BESIDES THEIR LOOKS if that's the reason why.
#1. I'm sorry, but you are just too far away for us to have a chance together. Thanks though, I think your profile sounds great and you'll find the right person on here.
#2. I'm looking to marry someone with the same interest in sports as me, so unfortunately I don't think we're compatible.
#3. Thanks for sending the emote. I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me, but I am looking for someone interested in X, as I am.
You get the idea, mention something in their profile when you turn them down. That way you at least show that you took the time to do what they did for you. You never know who knows who on here, and one good deed might lead to another.

Jan 24, 2013a very pleasant movie that for once felt very real, the acting was great and the movie was both touching and amusing, I don't really understand the negative reviews for this movie, but then maybe all that people want are violence and sex and in your face slapstick.
Jan 25, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
May 21, 2013Average movie in every aspect, has laughing moments, but mostly boring uninteresting story with unlikable main character. You won't remember this movie in a minute
Dec 22, 2012The Guilt Trip is a solid movie with a few good laughs scattered throughout. I thought Rogen was pretty entertaining with his portrayal of a late 20s guy acting embarrassed with his mom around. Who among us haven't been in similar situations? I saw it with my mom so that made it even better. Do the same if you can whether in theaters or at home.
Dec 20, 2012I don't understand what the critic-s' problems are. The movie is cute and funny. Every movie doesn't have to be Academy Award winning material. Can't we allow ourselves to enjoy something simply because it's fun? This movie was a fun road trip, probably for an audience consisting of parents who have shared similar rides. The movie was actually touching.

Dec 20, 2012The phrase "50% of success is just showing up" comes to mind. Seth Rogen takes this to 100% (minus the success part). Streisand is a skilled and professional comedian but her talents go utterly to waste. The movie is a dud.
Dec 21, 2012Full disclosure: on July 13, 1974 I sat down at a table in Lloyd
Dec 20, 2012Wonderful film. Streisand is adorable and the heart of the movie. Her star power is not diminished. The chemistry between Barbra and Seth is great and it left me wanting Guilt Trip 2 . Streisand looks fantastic for a 70 year old woman! Go see it
Dec 20, 2012
Dec 20, 2012
Dec 20, 2012The Guilt Trip is a great movie! Streisand and Rogen have great chemistry and are totally believable as mother and son. This is a movie that will stay with after you've left the theater. It's thoughtful, warm and funny. It's more than a comedy it's a movie about parent-child relationships and transformations. I highly recommend seeing this movie. Americas "Funny Girl" still has it!
Dec 20, 2012I absolutely love this movie!! Barbra is fantastic and has some touching scenes and her comedic timing is spot on. Great movie to see around this time of year!!
Dec 23, 2012
Dec 20, 2012I love,love this movie.it us not only funny,no it is touching.a must see for mother and sons.Barbra and Seth really have a good chemistry .But it is Barbra who makes this movie special,she is just a divine actress and i cant let my eyes from her face,so much to say,without words,heavenly
Dec 21, 2012The Guilt Trip is a wonderful movie. It is heartfelt, funny, warm, and a lot of people can relate to it. Barbra Streisand is a treat to watch on the screen, and has great chemistry with Seth Rogen as her son. The audience I saw it with laughed heartily and seemed to enjoy it. I highly recommend this movie. Take your mom!
Dec 21, 2012I loved this movie! The chemistry between the two stars in so real. This movie reminds me of "The Family Stone" in tone. Barbra is wonderful. So great to have a funny, touching movie out for the holidays!
May 8, 2013Loved this movie! However, I have a Jewish mother myself and am the single mother of an only child (a son), so there were so many similarities to our life. We watched it together and laughed our heads off (son is 21). Even if you don't relate, it is still a good, touching movie that I think anyone would enjoy. The acting is very good and the story is engaging.

May 8, 2013The jokes are very calm spirited, meaning that you'll understand them, but they won't be that funny. The story feels very empty and lacks energy. I'd say moms are guaranteed to like it the most, however.
Dec 6, 2014A movies doesn't always have to be deep & expensive to be enjoyed,this is how i see the guilt trip as peaceful,simple,funny & entertaining movie.i believe that this movie will be remembered in 10 years as classic.
May 3, 2013
Jan 1, 2013Im sorry but I found this movie to be just dreadful. There is no reason to care about any of the characters or their problems and the story altogether. It was very boring, and the humor is very dry. I chuckled all but once in it's entirety. Just wait til this one hits the Red Box.
Sep 4, 2014Probably one of the most unlikely of pairings, Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen find themselves complimenting one another quite well. The Guilt Trip is largely made out of crap; however, we do occasionally see the spark which we loved in Dan Fogelman's previous flick, Crazy Stupid Love.
Jan 5, 2013Streisand is still looking hot. I feel awkward saying that since she is the same age as my mother. I enjoyed this simple, predictable road trip movie. It does not break any new ground, but it had very little language and a kind attitude not found in many movies made today.
Dec 30, 2012
Dec 27, 2012Seth Rogen's character was one dimensional at best. He grunted and groaned and moped through the whole thing. The tone shifted a lot--he wanted her to come, he didn't want her to come, she was a noodge, then not a noodge. Oy. Wait for video if you think you have to see it.
Dec 28, 2012A good clean comedy that you can bring your kids too! This movie showed off more of Streisand's comedic side, rather than Rogen's. The humor is for all ages, which was nice because I had my mom and son with me to watch this one.
Jan 3, 2013
Apr 28, 2013It is way too better than what most people say, the good acting makes it so real and touching, but some scenes may bore, some scenes are sweet, but overall it is good, but not even near to a must watch, on the other hand, it is a good time, with some solid laughs.

Jun 2, 2013I really enjoyed this movie, however, it did not exactly meet my expectations. I think both Rogan and Streisand are extremely skilled, talented, and and great at what they do, but I definitely thought this movie was going to provide more laughs than it actually did. A little bit a of a let down.
Jul 5, 2013
Oct 8, 2013Amusing, but a little bit obvious at some parts. It is heartfelt and composed at places, but sometimes it tends to "veer off the road", to make a relevant reference. Streisand's performance is okay, and Rogen is his usual inconsiderate self, but you'll find yourself smiling at some point.
Sep 30, 2013The Guilt Trip is a solid movie, with some cool moments, and yes, the movie has some mistakes, but the big part of the time The Guilt Trip turns out to be fun.
Dec 12, 2013Even though the two main actors have great potential together, it just turns into a bad mixture of lame comedy and annoying Mum cliches. Definitely could have been better.
Jan 4, 2014
Nov 13, 2014
Mar 4, 2013Crazy, Stupid, Love writer Dan Fogelman can't rebottle lightning with a humdrum comedy that doesn't play to its stars strengths.
Bickering turns to bonding over the course of a predictable affair that only comes to life during a Texan steak-eating contest that has Babs ingest a mountain of meat.
Overall, there is a fundamental lack of excitement or energy; it's a 95-minute movie that feels twice as long as "The Hobbit."

I'm having a bit of difficulty with an assignment my sponsor gave me while I'm working on the third step, and was wondering if anyone else has come up against the same dilemma...
He's asked me to write down things that are "My Will" and things that are "God's Will" as I come across them in everyday life.
I wrote up a bunch of stuff that I thought qualified, and I think I "sort of" hit the mark on a few... but I'm curious if anyone has any insight into picking out the difference between the two?
Thanks in advance for any experiences/thoughts you can share! Off to a meeting now... even though I don't want to go, I think this is one of those times when it's God's will for me.
