By Senator Tom Coburn, M.D.
Seven months ago, the non-partisan Government Accountability Office released a landmark report identifying at least $200 billion in wasteful, duplicative, and fraudulent government programs. At a time when we're bankrupt as a nation -- our debt now exceeds the size of our GDP and we have no way to finance our long-term liabilities -- the report was a treasure map of easy-to-find savings.
At its release, Republicans and Democrats both pledged to use the unbiased report to identify and pass real savings on to taxpayers. The report raised questions all sides saw as important. For instance, why do we have 47 ineffective job training programs instead of one that works? Why do have 20 agencies operating 56 financial literacy programs when the federal government has no credibility or authority to teach financial literacy? And, on the national security front, why do we have at least five departments, eight agencies and more than two dozen presidential appointees overseeing $6.48 billion related to bioterrorism when no one has a plan?
Senate Majority Leader Reid said the report, "[S]hows all kinds of redundancies and overlapping. Those are places we can cut money. Let's do it."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi agreed. "Again, we all agree we have to get rid of waste, fraud, abuse, duplication, obsolescence, and the rest," Pelosi said. "The GAO has given us a blueprint for that, and we subscribe to that. We all agree that we must reduce the deficit, and the fiscal commission has given us a road map for that. We can agree or disagree with some of it; but the fact is it gives us a blueprint for how to go forward, and we should take heed of that."
Yet, in the last seven months, Congress has failed to send a single cut identified by GAO to the president's desk. Even worse, instead of cutting the spending identified by GAO, the Senate Appropriations Committee is now proposing to slash funding for GAO itself.
In the legislative branch appropriations bill for fiscal year 2012, GAO is singled out for excessively deep cuts and new, overly burdensome mandates that will consume the agency's limited resources to no apparent benefit.
The bill calls for GAO's budget to be cut by 7.6 percent, which represents more than ten percent of the entire reduction proposed within legislative branch spending. Cuts to GAO's budget are greater than cuts proposed for other line items in the bill, including the allowances for the majority and minority leaders (6.01 percent cut), the Appropriations Committee (6 percent cut), the Congressional Research Service (4.68 percent cut), and senators' official personnel and office expenses (3.17 percent cut).
The Appropriations Committee also proposes an unprecedented and apparently punitive reporting requirement for GAO. The committee report "directs the GAO to add a cost analysis to every report requested by a member or a committee, including but not limited to the number [of full time employees] that were associated with the production of the report, the number of hours required to produce the report, associated travel expenses, and the number of reports previously conducted on the particular issue."
This information will do nothing to help us cut spending and will further consume GAO's dwindling resources without providing any obvious benefit. Furthermore, this mandate is not placed on any other legislative branch entity that prepares reports or other documents, such as the Congressional Research Service, the Congressional Budget Office, the Secretary of the Senate, the Clerk of the House, or any House or Senate Committees.
At a time when we are running a $15 trillion debt and are borrowing $4.5 billion a day to keep government open and our military deployed, every agency needs to tighten its belt. Yet, the Appropriations Committee proposal looks like mismanagement at best and pay back at worse.
The fact is while GAO has stepped up its efforts to meet congressional demands, the oversight conducted by Congress itself has declined dramatically. Congressional committees held 318 fewer hearings in the 111th Congress than in the 110th Congress. During the height of the earmark era, the number of earmark requests outnumbered oversight hearings by a factor of 1,000 to 1. Finally, Congress has not passed a budget in more than two years -- 878 days -- and is governing by continuing resolutions and omnibus spending bills.
At a time when we need serious oversight to make smart cuts, the Appropriations Committee itself admits its proposal will hurt GAO's ability to do oversight. The committee report concedes "it is evident that many of the services provided by the GAO will be curtailed due to reductions in staff and resources."
The logic of the committee's proposal is tough to decipher. Yet, it is clear shooting the messenger (GAO) won't make the message go away. And the message coming from our citizens and the international financial community is this: if we want our economy to survive and recover we need live within our means. GAO's recommendations are the place to start cutting, not GAO itself.

Auckland, Dec 14: After the Kiwis' disastrous tour of the Subcontinent, heads have threatened to roll. But New Zealand coach Mark Greatbatch is nto keen to put in his papers just yet. Greatbatch has accepted that 11 one-day losses on the trot is shocking, but says that he is not a quitter and will step down only if asked to.
"I've been asked to do this job through to the World Cup and I'm committed to that. If it's in the best interests of New Zealand cricket to make a change I'd accept that," Stuff.co.nz quoted Greatbatch, as saying. "At the end of the day it is about us winning games and becoming better. We are struggling to find that consistency and if it's me, it's me."
The New Zealand team, which was thrashed 0-5 in a one-day series against India, has equalled their second worst one-day run of 11 straight defeats.
They were earlier beaten 0-4 in a five-match ODI series by Bangladesh in October. The Black Caps' last win came in the first match of a Sri Lanka tri-series, against India, on August 10.

Once known as just an athletic, live body, Bello has revamped his game. He's added a better ball handling skills, a mid-range floater and an overall more advanced ball skills.
After a strong spring, Bello, a 6-foot-3 wing prospect, showed his impressive talent on the AAU circuit. While some new schools tried to jump into the picture, Baylor was there from the beginning.
Baylor's loyalty is one of the many reason Bello, a standout at High Point (N.C.) Westchester Academy, opted for Scott Drew's squad on Thursday.
"I just feel like it's a great situation for me," Bello told Scout.com. "I like their style play, they way they play defense and the way they run the pick and roll. They get up and down the floor.
"They are a long and athletic team and that goes with my game," he added. "I think I fit in that pretty good."
Scott Drew's recruiting effort also stood out to Bello, who committed the same day as his teammate Quincy Miller.
"Coach Drew is a good guy and is down to earth," the four-star prospect said. "He says the right things and I feel like I can trust him and the rest of the coaching staff."
With his AAU and high school teammate heading to Baylor as well, Bello is excited about playing with a close friend.
"I think we are use to each other" Bello said about Miller. "We have a great feel for each other. I think it's going to be real fun. I'm excited."
Bello, who also has a former AAU teammate at Baylor cited Baylor's family feel.
"I think everybody is a family there," Bello said. "Everybody is together. It's not one person or one show. It's a family."
Bello is currently rated No. 8 at the small forward position at No. 32 overall.

Beyond Bank supporting the arts
One of our core drivers, as a bank, is to support the communities we are all a part of for our mutual success. This support is offered in innovative ways, including traditional sponsorships or grants and with the very unique Arts Program.
At its core, the Arts Card was designed to help an artist or gallery sell more of their work and to offer consumers another way to purchase art to take home something beautiful that enriches their life. The Arts Card was created to support the arts community towards independent financial sustainability. It is our hope that the Arts Card may help the arts community grow their business and allow them to continue to invest in their creative practice.
For some of our staff and customers the arts are something they are very passionate about. In a broader context, we believe that the arts informs and enriches the communities we are all a part of. Creative thinking provides an avenue for innovation. It cultivates another way of seeing this world; it challenges and celebrates our current environment, helping our culture and society to reflect, develop and grow. We want to be a part of fostering this community, innovative thinking and innovative banking.
That is precisely why we are here. To be an active part of this community, to support the arts because it is something we believe is important. We are also transparent in that our community support is for our mutual benefit; we also need your support. For us to continue to support the communities we are a part of, we also need our business to grow.
We don't have a sneaky catch, or tricky jingle, we have a great Arts Program that supports a community we feel is really important and we would like your support to help us continue to invest in this community.
As a part of the Arts Program we have developed some innovative ways to have a real, positive impact on the arts community; including cross promotion of our Art Partners to our wider customer base via our blog and social media.
Another avenue of support is via our 2015 SALA Festival sponsorship and Community Reward Accounts to further support SALA and the great work they continue to do.
You can help us to continue to support the arts community in lots of innovative ways.
You can help SALA raise funds to continue the community enriching work they do by opening a Community Reward Account. The more you save, the more Beyond Bank will donate back to the SALA Festival.
The Community Reward Account is a unique initiative that each year sees Beyond Bank donate significant amounts to community organisations. In 2013/2014, Beyond Bank donated over $250,000 to the wider community.
SALA was our first not-for-profit arts organisation to sign up as a Community Reward Account recipient; it did not cost them a thing and came with no further catches. We would love other not-for-profit arts organisations to benefit from these accounts.
Our hope is that the Beyond Bank Arts Program will be an ongoing program that has a real, positive impact on the arts community and our growth: Full Circle.
Supporting creativity within the frame by thinking Beyond it…

Vick, who started despite suffering a concussion last week, tried to play through today's injury after getting x-rays but ultimately gave way to second-year QB Mike Kafka (who immediately was picked off by Giants CB Aaron Ross after throwing into double coverage).

WOW! Shahid Kapoor's Special Gesture For Mira Rajput On Karva Chauth
Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput tied the knot in July 2015. And today ( 30th October 2015 ) Mira is celebrating her first Karva Chauth with darling hubby Shahid. To make her day special, Shahid has taken a day off to spend his entire time with Mira.
Talking about the same, a source told Bollywood Life, "Mira loves her hubby and as both of them are very religious, she will observe her first Karva Chauth fast today. She wants her hubby to have a long life and for that she will not eat anything.''

The source further added, ''She has been preparing throughout the week for this occasion and it seems that Shahid will also be at home, spending time with his family and by Mira's side."
Not long ago, Shahid Kapoor had revealed in an interview that why he chose Mira Rajput as his life partner, he said "I think the fact that we are different works for us. It is a nice thing that we are different from each other. But at the same time we are good at communication, we get along well.''
Shahid Kapoor further added, "She (Mira) makes me feel very normal. I go back to a very real atmosphere and I really like that a lot. She has no desire to get overtly 'filmy' as a person. She is very much an individual in her own right.''
"It (marriage) makes you more responsible. I have been living on my own for the last nine years. I was independent at an early age. I have been earning since I was 16-year-old and I shifted to my own house when I was 23-24 years old. I have lived an independent life, though I had responsibilities," the handsome actor added.

text: There's new meat at Corbin Fisher. Charlie is a hot, hairy-assed jock and he's cute as can be. He's an interesting contradiction with his boyish good looks, some chin scruff, and a hairy ass. In fact, Corbin Fisher says that before the shoot Charlie pulled him aside and asked, "Should I shave my ass? It's really hairy." Thankfully, Corbin Fisher suggested Charlie keep things natural. There's nothing wrong with a hairy ass, Charlie, many of us like them - and yours is super hot. In fact, I'm already wondering whether Charlie will be back for more, and whether we'll see him eventually getting his hairy ass plugged one day. And I'm betting we will. I've learned how to spot a Corbin Fisher guy. And Charlie is it. He's 18, stands over 6-feet tall, and weighs a solid 190 pounds. He has an incredible tan, a pair of intense blue eyes, and a lean and trim body. And the camera loves him, whether he's looking brooding and serious, or flashing his infectious smile. And Charlie knows how to pound one out. He prefers standing when he jerking off, and that gives the camera a perfect view of his juicy cum shot.

"The famously insatiable lover is brought brilliantly to life in this lively, suspenseful debut novel." (Publishers Weekly)
"Shivers through my spine"
It has all the elements of passion and love. Betrayal and forgiveness. Everything that's good in life.
I got sooooo tired of the development of this character - it jumped around a lot and there seemed to be a lot of gratuitous experiences that were recorded. the accent was a little annoying and Scott Brick is one of my favorites, actually it was because he was reading that I ended up getting this.
anyway, this could have been a much shorter book so if you are into descriptive overload then you will enjoy this - otherwise if you miss a section, dont rewind - it is not worth it!

We show that the spectral phasor approach of the fluorescent dye Pyronin Y (PY) can be used to identify specific RNA subspecies of ribonuclear proteins complexes in live cells. We applied spectral phasors to isolate intracellular RNA species with similar spectral properties. We identified at least 4 different PY labeled species in live cells and further spatially mapped their presence at the pixel level. Most notable were transcripts in the nucleoli which were spectrally similar to RNA clusters in the cytoplasm. We propose that these species represent ribosomal RNA and clustered ribonucleoprotein complexes. Further, we observed within this cluster Cajal bodies in the proximity of the nucleolus. In addition, transcripts in the cytoplasm undertook a filamentous morphology composed of multiple puncti structures which individually localized along and close to mitochondria but were distinct from mitochondria.

04/20/96 - 04:40 PM ET - Click reload often for latest version
NEW YORK - In a study that could shed light on human aggression, scientists found that male mice lacking a single gene are sex crazed and vicious, attacking other rodents even after they give up.
The specifically bred mice were so violent that if left in a cage overnight with other rodents, one or two would be dead by morning.
Unlike normal mice, the violent mice continued to fight while ignoring an opponent's ''give-up'' signal, which is rolling over and exposing the neck.
The mice also persistently tried to have sex, even when females were not in heat and screeched in apparent protest. The aggression did not appear in female mice.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University said the male mice lacked a gene essential for making a chemical messenger in their brains called nitric oxide, and their aggression suggests that the chemical acts as a brake on behavior.
Without that brake, the mice don't recognize signals from rejecting females or from males that are giving up in a fight, researchers said.
Dr. Solomon Snyder, the director of the neuroscience department at the Hopkins medical school who helped conduct the research, emphasized nobody knows yet whether lack of nitric oxide has anything to do with aggression in people. If it does, drugs that boost the brain's nitric oxide supply might be useful, he said.
Judging from the mice, any link to human aggression would probably involve people with uncontrollable rage, said Randy J. Nelson, an associate psychology professor at Hopkins.
The study by Snyder, Nelson and colleagues from Hopkins and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston appears Thursday in the journal Nature.
Other scientists agreed that it's too soon to say whether the results shed any light on aggression in people.
Prior studies have shown that disruption of other single genes can also make mice aggressive. And in 1993, scientists reported a link between an inherited tendency toward aggression by men in a Dutch family and a defect in a gene for an enzyme. Similar results were found for that gene in mice.
Neal G. Simon of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., who studies the brain chemistry of aggression, said nitric oxide may influence aggressive behavior by acting on serotonin, another brain messenger that is thought to act as a brake on aggression.
Nitric oxide may also act through testosterone because only male mice were affected, even though the males showed normal testosterone levels, he said.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Thank you. As a school board member I'm concerned about over punishment for things like this horseplay. I've seen kids get suspended for the same amount of days for pulling a knife out at school. Also the kid is is an A student with no discipline issues ever. It has been brought up about the suspension hurting there future of possibly getting into a top college. Would the board have a reason to think about that also? This is a board member's son. What are his rights as far as equal punishment?

When I decided to remodel my kitchen, I knew that I was going to do a lot more than just replace some cabinets and get new appliances. The thing I really wanted to do more than anything else was to get a new floor put in. I had vinyl flooring before the remodel, and it looked horrible. It was old, scratched up, and sections of it had started to peel. I did a search for Tradition Sculpture in Sutton Hickory because I had seen it in a magazine and really liked the look of it.
There are a couple of reasons why I wanted to get this type of flooring. The first is because of the price. I wanted to have a wood looking floor, but I knew that I would not be able to afford to have real wood put down. Trust me, I had priced it because I was hoping that I would be able to swing it, but it was just too expensive. Continue reading

National Vegetarian Week
May 23, 2011 by staff
National Vegetarian Week, The hippies and fascists presumed food everywhere began to celebrate National Vegetarian Week today. I found a vegetarian festival held in Islington, London and arrived just in time to watch the gloat-a-thon sponsored. Many people were promising to give up meat for a week, but like most of the participants were already vegetarian, does not seem to make much sense.
Lee Feat spokesman said, "It's so wonderful that everyone can join in and have a good time without harming the animals. Did you know that every time you eat meat, an animal somewhere dies? Is true. We relax, have a great time The consumption of our meat-free, free of protein, lentil stew flavored tirelessly and with our vitamin supplements. "
"We would like to get the word out that meat is bad. Because eating too much meat can kill you. If you live off nothing but meat, he would die of malnutrition within a year! Did you know? So the only sensible response is to become vegetarian. "
"It's a natural diet. Did you know that Stone Age man to live on nothing but tofu?"

Last week Intel recently updated its specifications for the 7th generation processors. In doing so, we can see several new Kaby Lake i3 SKUs coming to desktop, along with a few new KBL-U series SoCs for notebooks and a new Xeon E3-1285 v6 CPU, which matches the specification for Apples newest iMac. The full specification update from Intel is listed here. New Desktop Core i3 Kaby Lake CPUs The existing lineup of Core i3 on the desktop has six models ranging from the i3-7100T to the Core i3-7350K. Like previous generations, all the parts have two cores and support hyperthreading, although Intel did shake things up with this generation by offering an overclockable Core i3, but also moving the lower-class Pentiums from plain dual core...

Neville Radd and George MacDonald bought drinks for Elsie Howard, Bet Lynch and Rita Littlewood when the girls went on a night out to a club in June 1976. Neville was the chattier (and drunker) of the two and tried to chat up all three women.
When the night was over, George drove the party back to Elsie's house in Coronation Street. The men eagerly accepted Bet's invitation to come in for a drink but Elsie got rid of them, much to Rita's relief.

asedzie (12) San Francisco, California | August 3, 2010
Best taps in Lafayette, CA. The owner of this particular outlet of the larger franchise runs it independently and has begun to promote local craft beer. He seems to have some kind of agreement with Ale Industries Brewing in neighboring Concord (http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/ale-industries/10397/) and has turned his pizza place into a kind of mini brewpub for their brewery. Currently they have all five of the Ale Industries regular brews and they get the seasonals when they come out. Also, the owner has started to work with Firestone Walker and Two Rivers Cidery and has added a couple of their taps. All in all this place has become the go-to for craft beer on tap in the area. Also, you can't beat the pricing, I think it was about 3.50 for a pint and maybe 12 for a large pitcher. Good veggie pizza, too.

The Sea Is Trembling - Poem by Gajanan Mishra
The sea is trembling and
this state of trembling
made me fear and I sing a song
with care that you can hear there.
Am I the initiator here?
Initiator of the wave? or the sky?
You have declared to stay away from me
But I have seen you and you have provided
me the eyes to sea all scenes.
With his shadow the neem-tree
is telling the history and
without the shadow the tree is
in love. The truth-bird is there
sitting quiet without body on the shore.

Tina Kay delicately stretches out her toes by the hot pool, letting the warm water wiggle its way through every crook and cranny of her sexy tiny feet. She's a natural breasted beauty, with large tits and a bubble butt. Kai Taylor swims over with a hunger in his body and mind, aching to taste those tender soles. He licks and kisses Tina's feet as she purrs with pleasure at the sensation. These two strip off their towels and take turns tasting their sex, Tina cupping Kai's balls as she deep throats his huge cock. Eventually it gets too hot in the spa, and they need to bang, hard. Tina's swollen pussy lips accept Kai's raging hard-on with pleasure as she was soaking wet. She gives him a hot and sexy foot job. After fucking like rabbits by the pool, Kai must blow his load, and lets his sticky gunk out all over her delicate tiny toes.

ugh, why would you want to share a bath with an overweight, self-indulgent, whining self-pitying, financially abusive square-eyed GIT.
I mean it beans. Leave him. Please.
Be cherished by somebody lovely! In the future.
There's lots of normal men out there that would love and cherish you, get out, you are getting nothing from this relationship. What about him ? What about you ??
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Sell it and put the cash in your splitting up fund.
You are wasting your life with someone who doesn't deserve you. It doesn't sound like he has any respect for you either. Why are you "not allowed" to do the grocery shopping?
Get out. Get out. Get out.

Can you make a list of the skills that you do have and another of those that you might need for whatever kind of job you would like to be doing? Then get down to the library for information on getting onto the courses you need. Make sure it's something you will actually enjoy.
That phrase about 'you'll be wanting to leave me' if you get a job, well, it says it ally he's keeping you a prisoner and it sounds high time for you to leave that prison and start to enjoy your life.
Listen to the legal advice and start planning. Good lucky you know there will be support for you here's please don't waste any more time on this man. He genuinely isn't worth it and you are.
What a lovely hobby. Not.
The next time he "accuses" you of wanting to leave him, instead of wearing yourself out trying to convinnce him that that is not true, how about saying "it's true i'm not happy."
You need to tell him you're leaving him. He will never change unless you tell him and mean it as he has no reason to. Once you're apart you can either see if you're happier alone (I think you will be) or he can bend over backwards to change and make a bloody effort.

MS Word & Excel are fairly straightforward to learn. You generally don't need advanced skills in either for most roles. Do you have either on your computer now? Looked for any online tutorials? Are there any evening classes, or even day-times ones you can keep on the down-low, that you could attend? Got any friends or neighbours who could give you some tips to get started?
I'm sorry, I don't know the back story but as someone that has been married 3 times I really think you are doing yourself a disservice staying with someone who isn't even meeting you half way to make an effort. Life really is too short. You only get one shot at this, why spend it being so miserable?
We knew a couple who's son had very severe anorexia and was hospitalised. They kind of had to attend family therapy and were pretty much
told in no uncertain terms advised to spilt up because their relationship was so toxic and affecting their son. It was his way of trying to control a bad situation.
I don't know the story behind your child in a secure unit but there is no way in which you staying in an unhappy marriage will make that young person any happier or more stable. Quite the opposite.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Think of the freedom you could have... working, earning money to do whatever you like with, a home to decorate however you choose, being able to DO A FOOD SHOP! whatever you like. And I can pretty much guarantee whatever the situation with the secure unit life will seem easier without the misery of your marriage to contend with as well.
I know it's scary. I too have very little family (just my toxic mother who is manic depressive and alcoholic). But surely living like this is soul destroying and scary too. Any good job agency like reed or one nearer to you would be more than happy to help you do a cv despite not working for 20 years. If you contact your job centre they may be able to point you towards some courses.

Yes, i can see that your situation is a vulnerable one. Well done on starting to plan on building a life away from the home, and for thinking of speaking to the vicar (though be warned, he might want to speak to your husband to see if he can improve things!)
Women's Aid might be able to help. Have you spoken to them?
You must stop thinking of this as 'us...fail'. You aren't in a fair situation. There should be two of you trying, not one giving way all the time and being totally downtrodden. 'Avoiding failure' isn't about you taking all the pain he can dish out. Being Christian does not mean being a doormat. I read that somewhere and remembered it.
Little by little, tiny step by tiny step, work your way out of this façade of a marriage.
Try visualisation - you live alone, you have a small house or flat, owned or rented doesn't matter, you have enough money to live simply and a little job. You go out with friends whom you've met through work, classes etc. You choose what you wear, eat, how to decorate your home without considering anyone else. You choose who you see. If a man asks you out, you can go; you can even ask men out yourself.... You might have a pet!
Maybe you have space for your daughter to return later - maybe not. Your choice.
The more you visualise, the stronger the pull of your new life.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I've just been reading your old threads... Two things really shocked me. You're only 44! That's fairly young in terms of starting again. My mum is 66 and moved into a house on her own 2 years ago (after having a breakdown whilst living with me) and has just started working and dating again after 30 years. You have time on your side. It's never too late to start over.
Your dh earns 170k plus and won't let you shop at tesco. That's just awful. You should both have equal spending money. The fact you are at home doesn't matter - you are both contributing to the family equally. Therefore you should have equal spending money. He cannot moan at you for spending whatever it was you spent recently on clothes if he doesn't give you equal spending money. It is financial abuse. Pure and simple.
I'm going to say something a bit different here - you say everything is in his name. Does that include the house? If so you are actually in a very good position to just up and leave. Slowly filter off whatever money you can. Take the odd £10 or £20 or whatever you can manage and put it aside somewhere safe. If he finds it say you were saving it for a family break because you love him so much (yeah right). Keep saving until you have 2 months rent / rental deposit available. It might give you something to focus on. A plan.
Once you have enough go and rent somewhere. Claim whatever you are entitled to. Housing benefit, other benefits. You don't say how old your dc is but if they are under 18 and in some form of education (even if currently paused for medical treatment) you will get tax credits etc. Look on the turn to us website and enter your details as a single parent and see what they say. It will give you an estimate. Then you can start looking for a job. Even a part time job would increase your working tax credits.
Contact womens aid - I used to volunteer with them having left an abusive marriage myself and they are amazing at helping with this sort of stuff. They can even help you with work references where you haven't worked for years and help you to apply for benefits etc. And also cvs. They've helped hundreds and thousands of vulnerable women. They can help you. I promise.
At 44 your life isn't over. You really can have a life to live and, if you want, a proper relationship and love life with someone new. No wonder your self esteem is so low living like this. Everyone deserves to be happy and loved. Whether that's in a relationship or just a feeling of contentment being alone it is your choice.
Start saving today. Get all your important papers together. Passport, birth certificate. Make a plan. Focus on that plan. Make it your future. It sounds cliché and scary I know but it has to be better than this.

Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) today sent a letter to regulators, calling on them to close the "JPMorgan Loophole."
Although the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits banks from proprietary trading, the regulators' proposed rule creates a new loophole that could allow proprietary trading to continue even after the law goes into effect. This JP Morgan Loophole would likely allow Wall Street banks to continue proprietary trading by calling it "portfolio hedging" even after the Volcker Rule is finally implemented. The letter was sent to the heads of the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
"We again urge you to remove ill-advised loopholes and implement a strong Volcker Rule without further delay," wrote the Senators. "In recent days, we've seen exactly what "portfolio hedging' might mean. This "JPMorgan Loophole' is big enough to drive a "London Whale' through."
"So long as banks have the incentives to make these types of bets and are permitted to do so, they will. As we have learned time and time again, establishing clear, strong rules of the road is critical for the healthy functioning of markets and our economy."
The Volcker Rule, which was written by Merkley and Levin to create a firewall between banks and hedge-fund style trading, goes into effect this July, but regulators have not yet finalized their rules. The legislation was explicitly drafted to prevent the loophole, with hedging permitted "solely to reduce risks" that were related to specific positions or holdings. Merkley and Levin urged regulators to close this loophole and others in a comment letter in February, and warned about the JPMorganChase desk as a likely violation of the Volcker Rule in April.

Re: JPMorgan Loophole
Dear Messrs. Bernanke, Curry, Gruenberg, and Gensler, and Ms. Shapiro:
The massive failed bet by JPMorganChase provides a stark reminder why we desperately need your agencies to implement the Volcker Rule -- a modern Glass-Steagall firewall that separates our core banking system from high-risk, hedge fund-style proprietary trading. We again urge you to remove ill-advised loopholes and implement a strong Volcker Rule without further delay.
Proprietary trading positions led to billions of dollars in losses during the financial crisis and threatened the collapse of many key institutions. Taxpayers had to bail out these big banks to prevent the economy from further collapsing into depression. Even with the bailouts, several banks had damaged themselves so badly that they remained crippled, leaving far too many American businesses and families without the credit they need to prosper.
Congress determined taxpayers should never again be called upon to bail out proprietary trading bets gone bad. It determined that high-risk, conflict-ridden trading should not be subsidized by taxpayer insured deposits and cheap credit from the Federal Reserve -- benefits designed to support the flow of credit to families and businesses, and not to underwrite speculation on the ups and downs of markets. And when those hedge fund-style proprietary trading bets go bad, they should not endanger the banks our families and businesses depend upon.
Now, after receiving trillions of dollars in public bailout funds, many large financial institutions have been vigorously resisting even the most basic, common sense reforms. Most fought fiercely against the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act. And they lost. Now, they are fighting again to water down reform in the regulatory process.
When Congress passed the Merkley-Levin provisions, and the President signed it into law, that should have been the end of the matter. But Wall Street lobbyists' efforts to relitigate financial reform at the regulatory agencies stand dangerously close to being rewarded.
Pressure from lobbyists during the rulemaking process gave rise to regulatory loopholes that would allow proprietary trading to be hidden within market-making, risk-mitigating hedging, and wealth management, among other areas.
For example, the law allows for risk-mitigating hedging activities provided that they are "designed to reduce the specific risks" to a firm's "positions, contracts, or other holdings." This was intended to provide a way for banks to reduce their risks by engaging in true, specific hedges. As we informed the Senate before the vote on this provision, the "sole purpose is to lower risk." We further explained to the Senate that we had strengthened the language from prior drafts to assure that any permitted hedge must be "applied to specific, identifiable assets." And we further warned that "vigorous and robust regulatory oversight will be essential to prevent hedging from being used as a loophole in the ban on proprietary trading." (156 Cong. Rec. S5896, July 15, 2010)
To our disappointment, last fall's proposed rule ignored the clear legislative language and clear statement of Congressional intent and allowed for so-called "portfolio hedging." Now, in recent days, we've seen exactly what "portfolio hedging" might mean. This "JPMorgan Loophole" is big enough to drive a "London Whale" through.
While some executives involved in these trades have lost their jobs in the wake of these losses -- which reportedly stand at $2 billion and counting -- and the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating to determine whether laws were broken, that does not address the issue of whether banks should be allowed to take these types of bets. Nor is this is about personalities. It is about rules and incentives. So long as banks have the incentives to make these types of bets, and are permitted to do so, they will. As we have learned time and again, establishing clear, strong rules of the road is critical for the healthy functioning of markets and our economy.
The job before you is straightforward: implement the law we passed and the reforms our financial system needs. Establish the strong firewall the Merkley-Levin provisions demand by eliminating the loopholes and drawing clear bright lines. Until that is done, multi-trillion dollar banks will continue to put not just themselves, but the rest of us, at risk.

Eat Local! Eat Cheetos!
The death of Cheez Doodles creator Morrie Yohai last week spawns this New York Times piece today about the myriad other cheese-flavored snacks available, well, everywhere. And it reminds us of another great inventor: Charles Elmer Doolin, the father of Frito and the creator of the Cheeto:
Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Mr. Doolin, the founder of the Frito Company and the son of an inventor, experimented in a little kitchen next to his office in Dallas.
"We were taste-testers, guinea pigs," Mr. Doolin's daughter, Kaleta Doolin, 60, said of her and her four siblings.
Ms. Doolin, who is writing a book called Fritos Pie: The Family Story of the Frito Company, says when she sees people eating Cheetos and Fritos, she thinks of her father, who died in 1959. She prefers Fritos. Her 20-year-old son prefers Cheetos. "Maybe it's a generation thing," she said.
Incidentally, Kaleta Doolin is married to Dallas historian Alan Govenar -- who just published a biography of Lightnin' Hopkins, which I'll write about later. While eating Cheetos, naturally. And Alan says Kaleta's book will be published by Texas A&M University Consortium Press in the spring or summer of 2011.

We came here 14.4.2017. Very centrally located, close to the harbor area. It felt as it was more a restaurant than a real brew pub. Interior is quite dark, which fits well to the pirates image. They have a few rooms behind the bar area. All of their 6 beers were quite good. Really liked the Cross Bones from the cask. The clam mussles were outstanding.
Holdwine (18) Beertimore, Maryland | February 14, 2015
Great food and a good selection of Heavy Seas. Good for families and pre-game festivities. Try the caramel corn.
reggiedunlop (182) The dub c, Pennsylvania | November 10, 2014
Great atmosphere with a cool open air beer garden. Friendly service and the beers are good. Menu looked good but slightly pricey...I just had some good oysters. I'd definitely pop back in again on another visit to baltimore.

Cool bar and tap room. Nice selection of taps and food looked good.
GenDV138 (384) Falls Church, Virginia | August 11, 2014
Decided to check this place out on the way to Max's. Kind of a strange layout with a bar area and a few dining rooms including an open air enclosed beer garden. Service was friendly. Selection included 7 or so drafts and 2 casks, all Heavy Seas offerings. Flights of 4 are available for $6 with casks an extra $2 each. Food was good but I just had a fried chicken sandwich with a side salad. Pretty empty just past lunch time on Saturday. An okay stop if you haven't had many of Heavy Seas year-round beers, you can tick almost everything with 1-2 flights.
Travlr (2848) Charlotte , North Carolina | February 16, 2014
Stayed a couple of blocks from here for Max's Belgian fest, so I figured I'd check it out. It's in a characterful old building which at one stage in its life used to be a hospital. Although the current design is sleek and modern, there are enough bits of the old place preserved so that you can tell it's a re-use. Lots of nooks and crannies keep it interesting. The beers are OK but nothing special. Service is generic but friendly enough. Food is tasty. Worth a stop.
MrChopin (100) Baltimore, Maryland | November 6, 2012
Echo most of GT's rating. Deceptively huge place, a walk to the bathroom reveals this. Yet still feels cramped. Extremely limited beers, mediocre quality. Oversauced ceviche. Vibe is upscale suburban family restaurant, self-promoting posters hang on the walls like propaganda. It's Isolated in safe but run-down location, ten minute walk from anything. And I could walk here every day, but it's likely I won't ever be back.
GT (672) San Diego, California | November 3, 2012
I was actually very disappointed with my visit here. The decor is nice...reminds me of a seafood restaurant in north Florida/Fernandina Beach area. The menu had some interesting items like salmon ceviche, but they just were not up to par. Ceviche had mustard added, was served with only three small toasted bread slices, so we needed to order more of them. Served on a tacky clam shell over ice. The pirate decor in the restaurant is tacky and childish. The beer menu had literally nothing that you cannot easily find in six packs all over the east coast. There was only beer on tap that you could only get here, and that was a one-off cask of their Peg Leg on Ghost Chilis, which was awesome. Other than that, every beer was their normal stuff. Their website does not list what beers are on tap, it simply lists every single beer they make. And their bottle list has things like Amstel Light on it, but not a single bomber of special Heavy Seas beers like their bourbon barleywine or anything. It was a bit dumbfounding. I'm not even sure what to think. Upside was that the prices are very low, service was friendly. They do flights, but only of their grocery store beers. No samples allowed of their one-off cask beers, of which they had a whopping 1 on tap.

While in town to experience Sailabration, an event in which a flotilla of tall ships from around the world drop anchor in Baltimore, a city heavy with its own maritime tradition, I thought it necessary to adhere to a nautical motif and set my heading in the direction of Heavy Seas Alehouse. Anyone familiar with the Baltimore's craft beer scene will surely know of Heavy Seas Brewery, the brainchild of local beer hero Hugh Sisson. While the brewery itself is located in an industrial park outside of town, Heavy Seas Ale house is situated on the eastern edge of Little Italy in what was once the Holland Tack Factory. The building evokes the industrial days of yore with its sturdy walls, expansive façade and wrap-around loading deck (for outdoor dining, perhaps?) and seems to be ready to play another important role for the beer lovers of Baltimore. You enter into a moderate sized room; there is a rather small bar and a comfortable array of booths along the windows, both divided by a line of high top tables. The décor is strictly wood and brick. This is a sprawling establishment, something one will soon notices as they wander to the head (the bathroom for you landlubbers): there is another dining room, the Captain's Lounge and an intimate courtyard beer garden. Check out the original firedoor, which was manufactured right here in Baltimore. Of course, Heavy Seas features their own beer – though it is not brewed on-site, offering 7 taps and two casks. During my visit, the majority was from the Clipper City era and there was nothing from the Mutiny Fleet. (Don't be fooled by the expansive beer menu; most of those listed were seasonal.) Still, I'm not gonna mutiny over this. The beer was fresh and well poured. The service, Dan the Bartender, was exceptional, and the food, made from local ingredients, was savory and filling. The venue also offers great Happy Hour deals, specials and a weekly firkin tapping. (Yes, I said firkin, which is a beer cask of moderate size.) There is limited parking; however, the Charm City Circulator (Orange Route) runs directly by it. Certainly, a port worthy of your anchor.

Visited Heavy Seas Alehouse for the first time just before dinner last night. Wasn't yet crowded, so we were able to grab two seats at the bar. First and foremost, the staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Our barkeep was Angela, who was super nice and grabbed my wife and I a few sample sizes of a couple Heavy Seas ales we had not yet tried, and she did that AFTER we had already each ordered a pint. The place itself is nicely designed and attractive. We did not dine there, as we found the menu prices to be - like the ales - a bit on the high end. Not "we're going to price this so high it will keep the riff-raff away" prices, but more DC/Harbor East-esque prices (paid about 50% more for a pint of Loose Cannon cask than at a place like Liam Flynn's Ale House. We'll be back for all the good attributes, for perhaps a pint each, or choose a night when there are some money saving specials.

Feasts & Celebrations; In Praise of Home Cooking
By Nora Ephron; Nora Ephron is at work on a screenplay. Leslie Newman's cookbook, "Feasts: Menus for Home-Cooked Celebrations," was just published by HarperCollins.
Published: November 4, 1990
LESLIE NEWMAN, a writer whose credits include co-authorship of the screenplays for "Superman: The Movie" and the next two sequels, is well known for cooking up dinners for 200 people at a time. "Her style is mine," says Nora Ephron. "We both tend to overdo things just slightly." This conversation was occasioned by the publication of Ms. Newman's first cookbook. NE: As I read your cookbook, I realized how much my own feelings about entertaining had been picked up from dinners at your house 15 or 20 years ago, which were, truly, feasts -- but in the most casual and informal way. At the same time, I couldn't help thinking we were the last middle-aged cooks in America. Everyone else has stopped, and you and I are carrying on some arcane tradition. We both learned to cook in the 1960's.
LN: I started cooking because I was housebound. If you got married in the 60's, one of the few things you could do as you were going crazy sitting home with your new baby and your college education was cook. The first Julia Child was published about this time. Everybody loved you for cooking, and they got to eat it at the end of the day. Of course, it was also a little like falling down a rabbit hole, because there was no end to it -- there was always another cuisine.
NE: For you there was. But the truth is that many people fell down the rabbit hole and climbed right out and got takeout.
LN: My mother didn't cook, which was probably a blessing. I used to have the theory that people who were involved with food had mothers who were either magnificent cooks or dreadful cooks. Now I think what really matters is that there were happy experiences in the kitchen or at the table. My father and I used to sit together in the kitchen and eat grits -- that and canned tamales, which he also had a passion for. Even when entertaining went on in the house, it was homemade food. That always seemed like a very nice idea.
Anyway, I don't know exactly what happened. We were all doing fine with Julia -- we cooked up giant pots of coq au vin and called up everyone we knew and said, "Come right over." And then nouvelle cuisine came along, and people in Oshkosh were supposed to be reducing sauces and arranging baby vegetables like Fredy Girardet.
NE: And also, obviously, a huge number of women went into the work force and nobody had time to cook.
LN: And nobody who needed an outlet needed cooking as an outlet anymore.
NE: One of the reasons I cooked was that after writing all day, it was a relief to do something that I knew would work out -- as opposed to what I was doing at the typewriter. For me, cooking was relaxing, but I don't think most people look at it that way -- it seems more like work.
LN: Cooking became another kind of achievement, it became competitive, it became as much a test of you as the other things you did all day.
NE: There was an unbelievably elaborate recipe in Julia Child for something called veal Orloff, and the night I had it in about 1968 always seemed to me to epitomize the moment when it was clear Things Had Gone Too Far. The hostess had spent nine hours in the kitchen making this oeuvre , which nobody at the table could possibly appreciate enough to make up for the time and effort that had gone into it, and it was clear that after we left, she and her husband were going to have a fight, and five years later they would be divorced, and it would all be because of the veal Orloff.
LN: Veal Orloff is named after a prince -- it's named after a person who never cooked it himself.
NE: I don't blame people for not wanting to spend the time it takes to cook a meal. But all the same, when I go to people's houses and get catered dinners, it always seems so impersonal. They always seem to me to be characterized by things that no real human being would ever go near, like baby chickens and that thing called the veal roast.
LN: And sun-dried tomatoes. If I never smelled another sun-dried tomato I would be a happy person. Whenever I'm served them I want to scream, "Hello, have you checked out the grocery store? Have you noticed we have wonderful fresh tomatoes?"
NE: What are some of your childhood food memories?
LN: I have an unfulfilled longing for a childhood dish called shrimp de Jonghe, which was very big in Chicago at a place called Fritzel's. James Beard has a recipe for it but it's much too complicated -- it has tarragon and chervil in it. No one in Chicago had chervil in the 1950's.
And mashed potatoes. The story of my life could be written in mashed potatoes. But I bake them instead of boiling them before they are mashed. It's an infinitely superior mashed potato to the one I grew up with.
NE: I don't want to get carried away here, because we do understand that all we are talking about is food, but I want to say that I truly believe that your mashed potato recipe is a breakthrough right up there with iambic pentameter.
One of the things that's so wonderful about your book is that all of the recipes -- even the most bizarre ethnic ones -- feel like real food.
