Why GOP leaders in Congress say that's not a fair criticism: Yeah, but Trump didn't do his part to sell their health-care bill to the American people, they say. The bill dropped off a cliff in popularity, and Trump mentioned it only a couple of times in rallies. He even dissed it, calling House Republicans' version mean, and launching into distracting Twitter wars.
3. Trump is good at channeling his base: And his base is frustrated at Congress. In a September Washington Post-ABC News poll, 64 percent of conservatives disapprove of the job Republicans are doing in Congress. That group feels the exact opposite when it comes to Trump: 65 percent of conservatives approve of the job he's doing.
4. Prominent Republicans keep dissing Trump: Trump's war with Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) only reinforces an inherent mistrust the president has of the GOP establishment. They can't repeal Obamacare, they're slow to the starting line on tax reform and they have the gall to call him unstable?
Why GOP leaders in Congress say that's not a fair criticism: Because a sizable number of them share Corker's concerns that the president, by himself, isn't fit to govern. They just don't say it publicly.
Durbar offers upscale Indian fusion cuisine in an ornate setting. Bar and lounge offers cocktails and beer along with entertainment and DJ's on weekends.
I have gone to this club a couple of times. Music has not been good on Saturday and Thursday was a mortuary. Avoid this place is you are looking for a good time. Service is slow. It is hot and stuffy. Definitiely not fun. DJ are robots and not responsive to any request. Instead of trying to fill the dance floor they seem to want to empty it. Zero customer service. Avoid it.
This is Nice place !!! But the bar tenders are very Rude and offending. The ambience is good, but the way they treat the custoemrs is very bad..I like this place, but thinking to stop visitng this place.
Eye contact is a natural and often essential element in the language of visual communication. Unfortunately, perceiving eye contact is difficult in most videoconferencing systems and hence limits their effectiveness. We conducted experiments to determine how accurately people perceive eye contact. We discovered that the sensitivity to eye contact is asymmetric, in that we are an order of magnitude less sensitive to eye contact when people look below our eyes than when they look to the left, right, or above our eyes. Additional experiments support a theory that people are prone to perceive eye contact, that is, we will think that someone is making eye contact with us unless we are certain that the person is not looking into our eyes. These experimental results suggest parameters for the design of videoconferencing systems. As a demonstration, we were able to construct from commodity components a simple dyadic videoconferencing prototype that supports eye contact.
BEIJING (AFP) - A man in southwestern China has died of bird flu, health authorities said Saturday, becoming the second fatality from the H5N1 virus this year.
The 31-year-old died in hospital in the city of Guiyang on Friday, the Guizhou province health department said in a statement, adding that no other human cases of avian flu had been reported in the province.
Another city resident, a 21-year-old woman, died from the virus earlier this month.
The Xinhua news agency said both of them had come into close contact with birds but it was not known if the cases were related.
The H5N1 virus typically spreads from birds to humans through direct contact, but experts fear it could mutate into a form transmissible between humans with the potential to trigger a pandemic.
More than 365 people have died of bird flu globally since the virus re-emerged in 2003, according to the World Health Organization.
Its figures show that China saw 25 deadly cases of the virus between 2003 and 2009 before numbers tailed off to one fatality in each of the three following years. The deadliest year of the past decade in China saw eight deaths in 2006.
China is considered one of the nations most at risk from bird flu epidemics because it has the world's biggest poultry population and many chickens in rural areas are kept close to humans.
China has in the past been accused of covering up the extent of bird flu outbreaks, exacerbating fears when new cases are reported.
Separate outbreaks among birds were reported last year in the northern region of Ningxia and the remote northwestern region of Xinjiang, prompting massive culls of chickens.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The evidence is stronger than ever that pollution from industry, traffic and power generation causes strokes and heart attacks, and people should avoid breathing in smog, the American Heart Association said on Monday.
Fine particulate matter from burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal and oil is the clearest offender, the group said.
“Particulate matter appears to directly increase risk by triggering events in susceptible individuals within hours to days of an increased level of exposure, even among those who otherwise may have been healthy for years,” said Dr. Robert Brook of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, who headed the group writing the report.
A review of six year’s worth of medical research also showed strong evidence that pollution can help clog arteries, and a “small yet consistent” association between short-term exposure to air pollution and premature death.
“The foremost message for these high-risk groups remains that they should work to control their modifiable traditional risk factors — blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking,” Brook said.
The American Heart Association said fine particulates could work in several ways, including by causing inflammation.
“It’s possible that certain very small particles, or chemicals that travel with them, may reach the circulation and cause direct harm,” Brook said.
The group recommends that the elderly or anyone with heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes should pay attention to air pollution and air quality index warnings.
“People can limit their exposure as much as possible by decreasing their time outside when particle levels are high and reducing time spent in traffic — a common source of exposure in today’s world,” Brook said.
Proposals have been made for a new crematorium on the southern side of the A259, within a week of an application for a similar development on the opposite side of the road.
Southern Co-op, which said it has been 'reviewing the need and opportunity' for a new crematorium in the Sussex area, is inviting residents to view its proposals for Grevatt’s Lane, Climping, on Friday (January 25).
It comes after a separate planning application (Y/103/18/PL), made by Landlink Estates, seeking permission for a single chapel crematorium at 10 Acre Field, north of Grevatts Lane, near Bilsham.
Read more about that application here.
Southern Co-op told the Observer it is 'aware of the other application', but has developed its own proposal for land located on the southern side of the A259 Grevatt’s Lane.
"The proposed site would include a crematorium and car parking together with a comprehensive landscaping scheme," a spokesman said.
"As with other crematoria we own, we would ensure the land retains its character and carry out additional work on site to enhance biodiversity in the area."
Southern Co-op said it has been supporting bereaved families across the south for over 75 years, including currently owning and operating two existing crematoria in Havant and Devon.
The spokesman added: "We’re committed to making a difference in our local communities.
"At present the southern area of West Sussex is served by crematoria at Chichester and Worthing which are among the busiest in the country so we’ve been looking at ways we could help to improve this. We believe the site will greatly improve the experience for local families dealing with bereavement."
As an independent, regional co-operative, it feels it can provide a 'strong and fitting offering' to the local community along with 'values and principles that support our sustainable business practices'.
"We would also have the benefit of experience as we would be both the owner and operator of the site, as is the case with our two existing crematoria," the spokesman said.
"We hope residents and stakeholders will be able to join us on Friday where we will be inviting feedback on our proposals."
The consultation will take place on Friday from 6pm to 8pm, at Climping Church Hall, Church Lane, Climping, BN17 5RB.
Southern Co-op advised that the plans will also be available to view at southernco-opcrematoriumplan.co.uk shortly after the event.

The touch screen is working fine when we bring down the processor frequency to 400MHZ and system bus frequency to 198MHZ.
We've been informed from wolfson technical supports that WM9712L is working fine at 700MHZ cpu frequency.
We 've tested the touch signal @400MHZ cpu frequency as well as 700MHZ cpu frequency . While testing 700MHZ , we 've noticed that overlapping of the pulses.Which means that the high amplitude pulse overlapping with the variable one whose amplitude varies depends on the touch place.
The above thing does not happen while touch is working @400MHZ cpu frequency .
I 'll be thankful if anybody replies what is the reason behind the issue.
BAGHDAD – Homicide bombers struck in quick succession Wednesday in a former insurgent stronghold northeast of Baghdad, killing at least 32 people just days before a crucial election that will determine who will govern the country as American forces depart.
The blasts in Baqouba — including one by a bomber who rode in an ambulance to a hospital and blew himself up there — were the deadliest in more than a month and illustrated the challenges facing Iraqi forces trying to prove they can secure the country after the full withdrawal of U.S. forces by the end of next year.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings but they bore the hallmark of Al Qaeda in Iraq, which has promised to violently disrupt Sunday's parliamentary vote and warned Sunnis not to participate in the balloting. Iraqi authorities vowed not to let the insurgents derail the democratic process.
"These attacks aim to terrify people from going to polling stations," said Fakhri al-Obaidi, spokesman of the Diyala provincial council in Baqouba. "But I am sure that people will insist on voting."
The violence began about 9 a.m. with a homicide car bomb that targeted a local government housing office near an Iraqi army facility, police spokesman Capt. Ghalib al-Karkhi said.
Within minutes, a second homicide car bomb exploded 200 yards down the street near the provincial government headquarters near many police and army personnel.
It was the final bomber, however, who caused the most casualties, by donning a military uniform, pretending to be wounded and riding an ambulance back to the hospital where he blew himself up, al-Karkhi said. Many of the wounded from the first two bombs were killed in the third attack.
Police later safely detonated a fourth car bomb about 220 yards from the hospital in Baqouba, which was once controlled by Al Qaeda in Iraq before a series of U.S.-Iraqi offensives led to a drop in violence.
Mahmoud Fadil, 50, said he was heading to the electric company's office when the force of the explosion tossed him in the air.
"I saw others covered with blood lying on the ground and some crying because of wounds caused by shrapnel and the huge blast," he said.
Insurgents often carry out multiple bomb attacks to maximize the number of casualties as rescuers and others rush to the scene to help those affected. Authorities arrested four men suspected of involvement in the bombings and clamped a vehicle ban on the city, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad.
Wednesday's bombings were the deadliest since Feb. 1, when a female homicide bomber blew herself up among Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad, killing 54 people.
The persistent violence has dealt a blow to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's efforts to portray himself and his party as the best chance for stability in the wartorn country.
Deputy Interior Minister Ayden Khalid told reporters later in Baghdad that security forces expect further attacks but will not allow them to interfere with the vote.
Iraqi authorities have vowed to tighten security for the election, including a nationwide vehicle ban, airport closures and the deployment of hundreds of thousands of security forces across the country.
Also Wednesday, a senior official in Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission said the results of Sunday's vote won't be announced quickly because of the time required to collect votes from abroad and to investigate any complaints. He did not estimate when results would be released.
In Babil province south of Baghdad, police arrested 33 people for distributing leaflets calling for a boycott of the election because it is "supervised by the Americans," a police official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Furnishing your first apartment can be a long, stressful process. As a homemaking novice, you'll likely remember the big things like a couch and mattress, but might forget about the more obscure items like a bath mat - at least until your first slip on your puddle-laden bathroom floor. Making the perfect checklist of apartment essentials is only half the battle - then you have to scour different sites to decide which shaggy throw you actually want to buy.
Luckily, there are some places you can rely on to make this process a little bit easier - places where you can shop for your bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom all within the same URL, where you won't blow your budget on luxury housewares (well actually, we can't promise that), where you can put a luxury mattress and a lifetime supply of Clorox wipes all in the same shopping cart. These stores don't take all of the stress out of apartment shopping, but they sure do make it easier. As someone who's in the process of making her first apartment feel like home, that place for me is Target.
This set has a minimalist style that fits any apartment aesthetic and looks a lot nicer than the $20 price tag would suggest. It's everything you need for your first apartment - and it'll save you the inevitable freak out that would occur after your roommate chipped your first set of Williams Sonoma bowls.
Frames filled with pictures of family, friends, and important life memories will make your space really feel like home. It's what's on the inside of the frame that counts, but having a nice way to display your photos adds to the appeal.
This bath rug is a practical buy that also has the power to spruce up a plain bathroom. Pick a fun color or pattern, but whatever you pick be sure to get one that's machine washable. After living on the bathroom floor, these things need to be cleaned frequently.
Whether it's drying your dishes, cleaning up kitchen messes, or holding hot pots and bowls when you can't find an oven mitt, dish towels are definitely an apartment necessity. These dark ones are a good option if you'd rather not see how dirty they've become.
Like the name suggests, catch-all trays can be used to hold just about anything. I have one for jewelry on my nightstand, one for paper clips and push pins on my desk, and one right next to the door for keys - along with a lot of other ones scattered throughout my space. They're super practical for keeping your knick-knacks somewhat organized, and they serve as nice decorative pieces, too.
You want an egg or two for breakfast, but a full-sized skillet is just too much - you don't want to deal with cleaning it and it can be hard to get the perfect fried egg with all that surface area. Other than the fact that it's adorably small, this mini egg pan is just the right size for an egg or two. You can use it to cook plenty of other foods too, as long as it's a small portion. Even if you have the tiniest kitchen, there's room for this pan.
Using an electric kettle gets your water boiling faster than if you just use the stove, plus you don't have to deal with an open flame. This is an affordable option that will help you sustain your tea habit.
Any mixing bowls will do, but these ones will do it better. They lock into each other for easy storage and the set even has an egg separator that can be clipped on to any bowl to help make your egg-centric recipes easier.
Add some light to your space with a stylish decorative lamp. You could buy a fancy one, but this is a great-looking option at a price you won't regret if your design style changes in a few years.
We can't help you with the eyesore that is an overflowing pile of laundry, but we can suggest you pick a nice-looking laundry basket to at least kind of conceal the mess.
Whether you're moving to your first apartment or your tenth, everyone always needs more storage. These fabric bins are sturdy enough to store a substantial amount, and can easily be stacked in your closet or under your bed.
I have both a Vitamix and a Magic Bullet, and I have to give it to this under-$40 blender. I've made smoothies, dips and sauces with it, and it's super easy to clean in a pinch. It also comes with resealable lids so you can take your smoothies to go or store your dips in the fridge. At just $40 it really is a steal and very practical for smaller kitchens, too.
If you're going for a more bohemian vibe, this floor mirror deserves a place in your space. All you have to do is lean it against the wall for a funky and practical piece of decor. The intricate dotted details will leave guests impressed and questioning if it's really from Target.
Oven mitts are one of those things you absolutely need to have, but absolutely never think to buy (until you need to pull something out of a hot oven). These OXO mitts are strong enough to withstand extreme heat, and can easily be cleaned with soap and water.
Simple, stylish, and functional - this tall and narrow accent table is great for smaller spaces. The metal finish makes it a relatively neutral pick for any type of decor.
Yes, this is the same Casper you've heard praises of for disrupting the mattress industry. And yes - you can buy it at Target.
A rug can tie a room together, but it can so be hard to find one you like. This one isn't the cheapest option, but it's intriguing design and neutral color scheme are enough to keep it for future apartments to come.
Adding a small shoe shelf in your closet is a convenient way to keep your favorite pairs at arms reach, especially if you're low on space. You can also use this as a regular shelf on top of a dresser to hold the bigger odds and ends around your home.
Like rugs and dishtowels, a shower curtain is something you need, but won't keep forever - so you don't need to worry too much into which one you pick. Target has a great range of colors and patterns, so you can find one that matches your bathroom. There are a lot of affordable options so you can find one that fits your budget, too.
You could splurge on fancy flatware, but these forks, knives, and spoons help you eat your food just fine - is there really anything more to ask for?
In a small apartment, every bit of space matters - that's why this ottoman is such a great buy. Sit on it or kick your feet up, and don't forget to take advantage of the extra storage inside. You can fit some spare blankets or pillows, plus the lid can be flipped over to use as a tray.
There are plenty of cleaning supplies you should have, but if you're going to get anything, a Swiffer should be your first purchase. It's an easy way to mop and sweep all with one gadget.
This wasn't top of mind when I moved in to my first apartment, but became very necessary very quickly. Whether you have a dishwasher or not, some things need to be air dried. This rack will help contain the counter clutter of just-cleaned dishes.
Throw pillows are a small accessory that can totally change the look of your couch or bed. You could splurge on nicer ones, but I'd suggest you go for some of the cheaper options. That way you won't feel guilty when your style changes and you want to rotate them out for new ones.
You could hang plain hooks right on the wall, but this added storage is very helpful if you live in a small space. It makes a convenient spot to leave your keys, hats, gloves, or any other small accessories you're always grabbing for right before you leave the house.
They're not the most exciting thing you're going to purchase for your new apartment, but you definitely need them. Chances are, you probably need a few of these throughout your new space, which is why I'd suggest picking a cheaper option. If you want something a little nicer to look at, Target has those too.

(Portland, OR) -- A man is facing charges after allegedly stabbing a woman inside his car in Northwest Portland. Police say an officer was in the area on a separate call when he heard the woman screaming for help. He called for backup and pulled the car over, prompting the woman to exit the vehicle and tell officer's she'd been stabbed. The driver exited the vehicle and surrendered without incident. Police say the two were arguing when the stabbing occurred.

One Today, the charitable giving app Google launched into pilot testing this April, is today publicly available to all Android users in the U.S., the company announced this morning. The app, sort of like a Kickstarter for charitable works, asks users to donate $1 (hence the name, “one today”) to the projects they like – the idea being, of course, that with scale, these causes will benefit from such small donations.
Google.org, the search giant’s nonprofit arm, created this app, and receives project donations through its partner, Network for Good, which vets the organizations before their inclusion.
One of the key features of One Today, besides its goal of aggregating what’s essentially pocket change, is that the organizations featured in the app explain how the money is spent down to the dollar (e.g. $1 = X hours of work on Y project). However, once the money is in the non-profit’s hand, they can use it as they see fit.
