...Remember Me takes itself more seriously than that. It's concerned with human connections, with the art of grieving, with fate. Big picture stuff. Like the possibility, say, that you could be riding on a train with your boyfriend and the same guy who killed your mother might glower at you from a corner. Or worse. The final twist of Will Fetters' screenplay has already been revealed in some reviews (there are small clues in the film, but it is obvious only if you, like critics, see too many movies). It won't be here, although I see the temptation...
...lone exception is housing. Mortgage brokers say it is still hard for individuals with bad credit to get home loans. The subprime home loan market peaked in 2005, according to the publication Inside Mortgage Finance. That year, thousands of lenders and mortgage brokers handed out $625 billion in mortgages to borrowers with low credit scores, which is generally anything below 650.

...Despite the vehement statements of those denouncing the deal - and the veiled threats of retaliation - most observers say the chances of the spat jumping from the defense sector to wider commercial deals are small at most. Military contracts have historically been so vulnerable to protectionism and national preferences that they aren't covered by World Trade Organization rules. For that reason, says Nicole Bacharan, a specialist on U.S.-European affairs at Stanford University, "the way this contract was handled wasn't any different from how it would be handled in any other country - especially one whose defense industry...
...while Tea Party leaders say they aim to spur critical thinking, at times the candidates and crowd seemed gripped by groupthink. Tea Party volunteers distributed slips of paper with the group's core principles - limited government, fiscal responsibility, individual liberty, free market and constitutional governance - and asked the audience to tick off boxes next to candidates whose answers matched those tenets. "Government is there to protect the people. It's only there to provide security. And now it's usurping more and more duties," says Israel Jackson, a Liberty University student volunteering on Campbell County businessman Ron Ferrin's campaign...
