He was falsely accusing people of cheating because they had the audacity to beat his students. The rules that have come in regarding entry state that Pro MMA fighters have to enter at blue. He was trying to protest about someone who has fought C-Class beating his guys, forgetting that what we term as C-Class is known as Amateur rules MMA in the USA, so therefore not covered under that rule.
He was then thoroughly clamped when it was pointed out that he entered a guy with at least 5 years experience (including pro MMA fights) into a beginners division at the British No Gi

A Fairfield-based electrical workers' union has filed a lawsuit claiming a former administrator embezzled more than $260,000 from the union's trust fund to cover up another theft made from an Augusta union. The administrator, Donald Sarette, died earlier this year in a car accident.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1253 Health & Welfare Trust Fund Monday filed a civil lawsuit in Kennebec County Superior Court, according to the Kennebec Journal. Sarette was owner of Sarette & Associates, a third-party administrator for union and employee benefit plans based in Manchester, N.H., and handled the fund for a decade. The suit claims he diverted funds from the trust of more than $272,305 between Oct. 15 and Jan. 6, depositing them into the trust fund of Augusta-based UA Local 716 to cover up unauthorized withdrawals he made from them. The suit against UA Local 716 is seeking the repayment of $260,454, the amount Sarette allegedly deposited in that trust.
According to the paper, Local 1253 officials confronted Sarette about the money and he confessed to financial problems. They were beginning to talk about ways Sarette could repay the money when he died Jan. 24 in a single-vehicle accident in New Hampshire. His company has since ceased operating.

Singaporean director Anthony Chen described as "surreal" the 15-minute standing ovation that followed the world premiere of his debut feature film "Ilo Ilo" at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. Though the ending of the premiere couldn't have been more perfect, the 29-year-old Chen said the beginning was quite "nerve-wrecking" as it was marred by technical glitches.

Anything goes in the world of fashion. While others may dress one way, you do not have to follow them. Learn as much as you can about the subject, and then do what feels right This article will give you a selection of tips to get you started with your selection of trousers (German: Hosen) and other clothes.
If you have old apparel that you don't like anymore, donate them. Not only will your clothes receive a new life with someone who will appreciate them, but you will have an easier time finding the clothes that you actually want to wear.
Don't let other people tell you what to wear. It's best to adhere to the phrase, "To each his own" when considering style. Everyone has to choose for themselves what they consider fashionable. If someone tells you what you should or should not wear, politely tell them the decision is yours alone.
If you want the best fashions, you have to be very familiar with your body size, its shape, and what looks best on you. Do you have an hourglass, apple, or pear shape? Knowing the right answer will strongly influence the type, style and cut of any clothing you buy and how fabulous it will look on you.
Especially have a look at the size of your clothes – and in particular at the size of your trousers (German: Hosen). It is way more elegant if the trousers you picked actually fit and have the correct length. Men trousers and women trousers (Herrenhosen und Damenhosen) can be found in various places but Club of Comfort http://shop.club-of-comfort.de is one place that we recommend because the quality of their trousers is awesome.
With jewelry, remember that sometimes less is more. You might love the pieces you own, and they are probably gorgeous, but avoid wearing a lot of it at once. You can create the wrong impression when you wear too many jewelry pieces at a time. Pick out your favorite jewelry and wear it with pride.
Surprisingly, patters are beginning to be seen more and more in the fashion world of late, especially floral. Don't be afraid to wear a shirt, pants or dress that has flowers on it. It is important that you mix your accessories well with patterns. You can pick out a solid color from your pattern to match.
Always take care of your clothes, keeping them clean and in like new condition. Many items need to be washed by hand or dry cleaned, so heed the advice on the label.
Extend the life of your favorite fashion items by laundering them with care. Never ignore the how to care for this product label if you desire to have the clothes for a long time. It will give you the cleaning instructions you should use to keep your item looking its best. If you want to put your best foot forward, pay attention to little details. Many people dress to the nines but forget a small detail, like a nice watch, that would make the whole ensemble come together. A nice handbag, briefcase or luggage can also reflect your style and complement your ensemble.
Do not be ashamed of letting your friends know that you have a small fashion budget. Your best friend might have a fashionable piece of clothing that you adore. Once she has tired of it, you might be able to get your hands on it. By asking your friends for help, you may get some wonderful pieces free or next to free.
Keep a sewing kit around for minor repairs. You may be away from home when a seam tears or a zipper bursts, and you will want to take care of this problem immediately to avoid any embarrassment. A good place to keep these items is in a bag. That way, they'll be handy when you need them.
When you're shopping for swimwear, you need to try on a few to get the right fit. The swimsuit should fit the shape of your body exactly. Fitted suits are better for smaller chests. If you are small in the bust region, try to acquire some support.
Open up a credit card to have the funds to purchase a few outfits for yourself. If you know you will have the funds to pay it, it is better to buy many items at once.
Webdesign Agentur Ulm Now that you've read this diverse set of tips, you have some fashion weapons in your arsenal. Some of the advice will fit you and some will not. Everyone is different. You don't have to adopt every trend. Everyone out there needs some tips to get them started off on the right foot, so don't forget to use what you have learned.

Five Classic Pre-1950 Gangster Films You Should Check Out
by Matt Goldberg Posted 160 days ago
Tomorrow, Gangster Squad hits theaters (click here for my review). The crime flick takes place in 1949 Los Angeles during mobster Mickey Cohen's rise to power in the City of Angels. America has had a fascination with the gangster throughout cinema history. They've been seen as folk heroes and the scourge of society. In the era of the Production Code, Hollywood tried to have it both ways with mandated-warnings paired with exhilarating, charismatic characters. Gangsters may always fall, but it's a thrilling, infamous ride.
I've compiled a list of five gangster movies worth checking out. To stay in line with Gangster Squad, all of these films were made before 1950, so they lived in the era of the glamorous underworld and all the seedy, ruthless behavior it entailed. Hit the jump to check out the list.

Synthes confirms merger discussions with Johnson&Johnson as latter eyes top spot in orthopaedics
Synthes has bowed to intensive media speculation and confirmed that it is in talks with Johnson & Johnson over a possible takeover by the US healthcare giant.
Any deal to acquire Switzerland-based Synthes would represent one of the largest attempted by J&J since it lost out to Boston Scientific in the battle for control of Guidant. J&J is rumoured to be offering around US$20 billion to acquire Synthes, a major player in the spine and trauma markets. If J&J were to secure its target it would return the company's DePuy business to the top spot in the worldwide orthopaedic market and ending Zimmer's dominant position. A combined DePuy-Synthes unit could potentially be worth US$46 billion and boast strong positions in orthopaedic, spine, sports medicine and biologic products. Ironically, Zimmer itself went to the number one position by securing another Swiss company, Centerpulse, in 2003.
Since the beginning of the new year, it seems J&J has been looking for a big deal and was strongly linked with a US$11 billion approach for UK-based Smith & Nephew. The pharmaceutical/medical device giant can afford it as well, with around US$28 billion in cash lying in its balance sheet. Whilst it can clearly afford it, the company doesn't tend to overpay with its purchases – a fact that appears to have been illustrated following the non-appearance of an offer for S&N – and will be hoping that rumours of a rival offer from Medtronic do not materialise.
So what makes Synthes such an attractive proposition to J&J? Although headquartered in Switzerland, the majority of Synthes' 2010 sales (58 per cent) originate in North America and followed by Europe (23 per cent) and Asia-Pacific (12 per cent). The company increased its sales by 8 per cent to US$3.7 billion in 2010 and net earnings jumped 10 per cent to US$908 million. It has strong trauma and spine products, whilst DePuy's expertise is particularly focused in hip and knee implant – which means the case for synergies and antitrust approval could also be strong.
Despite its size, J&J is under pressure to react to competition in its medical device fields, particularly within the cardiovascular market. The company's once dominant position in drug-eluting stents has long been usurped by Boston Scientific, and competition from the likes of Abbott and Medtronic have bitten hard. Within orthopaedics, DePuy has been dogged by a series of recalls that are understood to have cost J&J nearly US$1 billion so far. The unit has also been hit with several lawsuits regarding its recalled ASR hip implant, with complaints rolling in on a weekly basis. Despite these woes, DePuy still upped its net sales during 2010 by 4 per cent to US$5.6 billion, highlighting the potential of orthopaedic products to achieve strong revenues and profit margins.
News that Synthes is even discussing a deal represents a rare opportunity to buy a company that has never really been touted as a bid target. The reason for this is that the company is majority-owned by its Chairman and guiding light, Hansjorg Wyss, and various Wyss-family controlled trusts so any bid will have to meet his approval to stand a chance of success. Switzerland also has complex minority shareholder rights – just ask Novartis after its protracted battle for Alcon – so although the talks are significant, a deal is not entirely certain.
J&J's approach for Synthes could kickstart a further period of consolidation in the orthopaedic market or alternatively represent an albeit mighty dent. Below the big players, Wright Medical Group is in a bit of a bother having kicked out some its management team recently, whilst the question remains – will anybody make a move for S&N? The rather quiet cosy world of orthopaedics looks like waking from its slumber at last!
Thank you to Lawrence Miller for a great post, Lawrence is Epicom's medical newsletters team leader, and also editor of the excellent publications Orthopaedic Business News and Medical Industry Week.
Thanks for reading, back in two weeks time, Paul.

Works for a 20 month old
By Patti33
from Silver Spring, MD
Comments about One Step Ahead Kids Safety Trampoline With Handle:
I bought this for my 20 month old grandson to play on at my house. I did not get the toddler size hoping that he could grow into this. The kids trampoline was easy for me to put together and seems quite sturdy. I was impressed that it does not tend to tip at all when in use. My grandson could reach the handle and had plently of room to "fall down". My daughter also took a turn on the tramp to show him how its done and it held her weight for the momentary demonstration. We used it out in the yard but it easily transitions to the playroom. My grandson seemed to really have fun and it should provide years of enjoyment before he outgrows it.

By roxi4ya

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter to keep her active during the winter months and she loves it. Even my 1 year old wants to jump on it after watching her older sister do it:) It is very sturdy, easy to put together and does not tip over. It's lightweight and very easy to move from one room to another, depending on were you want it. I will buy this again as a gift in the future.We love it!
Happy kid!
By JennyB
from Rochester, MN
I bought this for my 4-year old son who has been diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder, sensory seeking. He was jumping on/off the bed and couch before. This is a safe and kid-friendly trampoline. No metal springs! The fabric is wrapped around the frame with a thick, strong bungee. The bunge is completely covered by protective fabric. This is sturdy. For children only, up to 80 lbs. After reading reviews on other products where children where getting stabbed and cut by metal springs, I felt this product was the way to go. Mom is happy and so is my kid.

Ysatis is my wife favorite scent and has been for the past 20 years. She love it becuase it is not to strong, but definately distincitive.

My signature fragrence! Men love it - everyone remembers it and comments how much they like it. Wears well, lasts a long time. I ALWAYS feel fabulous when I'm wearing Ysatis - I'm self assured that I smell as great as I look. I hope they make it forever...
October 11, 2012
Ysatis is another of my favs - I'm 43 and have worn it since high school. I have run into old friends after not seeing them for 20 years and they tell me they remember my great scent (when I am wearing it). It is a strong scent (probably too strong for high school kids) but it is delicious. I have over 100 perfumes but like very few that are the dark color or spicy scents. This one is just plain fabulous - very elegant and romantic as well - great for a night out. It also seems to last much longer than the average perfume (as many of the darker colored ones do that are stronger). It isn't as strong as say Opium, but it is a fairly strong scent. I highly recommend it!

Sports Update
Fallen hopes: North fights hard, but falls short of Wylie East, playoffs
By Chris Beattie,

WYLIE -- Though a deceptive final score shows otherwise, the McKinney North football team wasn't ready to let its season slip away Friday night against Wylie East.
North lost, 50-26, to the Raiders (7-2, 5-1 in District 13-4A) and was down 36-7 by halftime, but a loud East crowd went silent for much of the second half. The Bulldogs (2-7, 2-4) forced back-to-back Raider turnovers and scored 19 unanswered points to enter the final frame with all the momentum.
"It's a real gutsy group of young men," said Mike Fecci, North head coach. "I don't know many teams that would've come out and fought real hard like that down that much, and that's nothing that I did. That's the kind of young men that we get to coach."
North's comeback commenced less than two minutes into the third quarter, when the Bulldogs seemed to send a message to Raiders quarterback Garrett McCain: His big night wasn't going to get bigger.
McCain, who'd thrown for 227 yards and four touchdowns on just 10 first-half passes, was popped by multiple Bulldog pass rushers and coughed the ball up at East's 38-yard line. Eight plays later, right after a 17-yard run from North senior Justin Jones sophomore Ronald Jones made it 36-14 with a 3-yard plunge.
A holding penalty on the ensuing kickoff started East from its own 10-yard line, and McCain fumbled again. Junior quarterback Ben Dutze found a wide-open Evan Jones rolling right across the front of the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown, cutting it to 36-20 after a failed two-point conversion attempt.
"I think a little bit of the pressure was off of them," Fecci said. "They just went out and played. They started playing the game like they did when they were in fourth grade -- just played hard and had fun."
The fun continued two minutes later when Dutze, who threw for 156 of his 246 yards in the second half, found senior Will Ashun down the right seam for a 73-yarder into East territory, then junior K.J. Bualicex for a 20-yard out route. Jones, North's leading rusher with 117 yards on 23 carries, ran for 2 of those yards and a touchdown two plays later, further erasing East's lead to 36-26.
The Raiders' offense, which amassed 298 yards by halftime, managed just 97 the rest of the way, repeatedly giving North a chance at a comeback. Ending up with 380 total yards, the Bulldogs' momentum stalled as well.
After brief consecutive possessions ending with a punt, Dutze threw his first interception to East linebacker Toby Amadi, who took it 17 yards the other way for a touchdown. Four plays later, Dutze was hit as he threw an errant pass to the left side and Henry Dues returned it 60 yards for the final score, 50-26.
The game came full circle, with East going up, 9-0, on a safety and touchdown in less than 30 seconds. After North's brief first possession, a high snap sailed over senior Jacob Maclea's head and he was forced to kick the ball out of the side of the endzone.
McCain (7-of-18 for 238 yards and four touchdowns) threw his first bomb of the night, an 80-yard touchdown strike to Marcell Ateman on the Raiders' first offensive play. Following another short North possession, McCain found Quan Jones for a 46-yard touchdown along the right sideline to put East up, 16-0, halfway through the first quarter.
"It wasn't the way we wanted to start," Fecci said. "You get behind, bang, you blink your eyes...it's just on you in a hurry but that's the game; that's what happens."
North managed to contain Raiders running back Jabari Anderson, who finished with 115 yards, but after an early 31-yard burst down the sideline, his longest run was 13 yards. Anderson did catch a 15-yard touchdown in East's first-quarter onslaught.
It was East's wide-out tandem that hurt North over the top. Quan made both of his two catches touchdowns when he hauled in another deep McCain toss and ran untouched for an 80-yard touchdown right before half.
"They are a very formative force because they run the ball so effectively and they've got guys who can get behind you, so they put you in a big bind," Fecci said. "You either have to say we're going to load the box to stop Jabari Anderson -- to do that you've got to single coverage the outside guys -- or you could back off those guys and then let Anderson get after you.
"They pose a big matchup problem for a lot of people, and I anticipate them having a very successful playoff run."
North's last game is at the same time against Denison Friday at 7:30 p.m. If the Bulldogs win and Wylie loses next week, the Bulldogs would be tied for the fourth and final playoff spot, but Wylie would own the tiebreaker because of its 35-20 victory over North.
"We've got a saying around here, 'You either fix it or quit, and quitting is not an option,'" Fecci said. "They're going to come back and go to work and finish this thing the right way."

Bag Dump System Has Integral Compactor, Screw Conveyor
Flexicon's Bag Dump System collects dust generated during manual dumping and compaction of bags, and conveys bulk material downstream. Pre-engineered, pre-wired and ready to plug in and run, the compact system integrates a receiving hopper, dust collector, bag compactor and flexible screw conveyor on a frame which streamlines installation and allows for easy relocation if required.The bag-dump-station portion of the system collects dust generated during manual dumping and compaction of bags by means of a high velocity vacuum fan that draws dust away from the operator onto two cartridge filters. An automatic reverse-pulse filter cleaning system releases short blasts of compressed air inside the filters at timed intervals causing dust build-up on the outer surfaces to fall into the hopper. Filters are readily accessed by removing the interior baffle, and replaced rapidly using quick-disconnect fittings.
Vacuum created by the dust collector also serves to contain dust generated when the operator pushes empty bags from the dust hood, through an integral chute, into the bag compactor, and to recover dust created during bag compaction, conserving useable product while reducing the frequency and cost of trash disposal.
The fully enclosed, flexible screw conveyor handles free- and non-free-flowing bulk materials ranging from large pellets to sub-micron powders, including products that pack, cake, seize, smear, fluidize, break-apart or separate, with no separation of blended products.

You can't buy one in Canada, but in the U.S. you can get something called the Murano CrossCabriolet. It is a monumentally silly car, made by turning Nissan's crossover SUV into a convertible by losing nearly all of its functionality.
Still, the CrossCabriolet proves that the idea of a convertible crossover isn't new, and apparently people actually buy these things. Range Rover has been paying attention and have decided to go a similar route with their award-winning Evoque crossover. On the Evoque, the results are quite different.
It looks fantastic. Due to drop at this year's Geneva Auto Show as a "concept" (yeah, right), the Evoque cabriolet is a four-seater convertible with the ground clearance and available all-wheel drive of the original. It is also a heck of a lot sexier than my old Series III Land Rover with the roof off.

Congressman Brian Higgins has won re-election to the House of Representatives. A two term incumbent, Higgins soundly defeated Republican challenger Michael Madigan. Higgins received 76 percent of the vote in Erie County, and almost the same amount in Niagara County.
Higgins will serve in the new 26th Congressional District.
U.S. Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York has won her bid for a 14th term in the House of Representatives. The Democrat defeated Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks on Tuesday in the newly redrawn 25th Congressional District, which encompasses much of Monroe County. The western New York race between two well-known women was closely watched. For Slaughter, redistricting meant two-thirds of her district was new, while Brooks was known districtwide after holding county office. Voter enrollment favored Slaughter by nearly 40,000. Slaughter is known in the House as a champion for women's rights, co-writing the Violence Against Women Act and co-chairing the Pro-Choice Caucus. At 83, her re-election bid wasn't all smooth sailing. She was temporarily sidelined after breaking her leg while crossing a Manhattan street in April. |
Congressman Tom Reed tonight thanked his volunteers and the voters of the 23rd Congressional District for sending him back to Washington to represent them for the next two years.
"Our success tonight belongs to the hundreds of volunteers who made thousands of phone calls and knocked on thousands of doors to get our message out," Reed said. "Our volunteers made sure that voters knew that we stood for job creation through the private sector and smaller, more limited government. Our priorities are the voters' priorities."
Reed won ten out of eleven counties in the new 23rd district, and with 99% of the vote in, leads his opponent by more than 10,000 votes. "During our first two years in Congress we started the process of changing Washington," Reed continued. "We have only just begun."
Reed will return to Washington to deal with the looming financial and debt crises that face the country. "The challenge is great, but I am an optimist," Reed said. "America's best days are ahead."

Republicans Keep Control of House of Representatives
Republicans drove toward renewed control of the House on Tuesday as Democrats failed to make any significant inroads into the GOP's delegations from the East, South and Midwest.
With more than half of the 435 House races called by The Associated Press, Republicans had won 151 seats and were leading in 53 more. Democrats had taken 89 districts and led in 56 others.
There were another 20 seats in Western states where Republican incumbents were not facing serious challenges, but those polls remained open. A party needs 218 seats to control the House.
Democrats grabbed their first GOP seat of the night, defeating 10-term GOP veteran Rep. Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland in a race that was preordained after Democrats controlling the state legislature added more Democratic suburbs near Washington to his western Maryland district.
But in an Election Day that was producing little net change in the parties' numbers overall, Republicans responded by ousting one Democrat from Kentucky and another from North Carolina. They also picked up an open Democratic seat in both North Carolina and Oklahoma.
Even before renewed GOP control was clinched, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio - re-elected to his seat without opposition - claimed victory and laid down a marker for upcoming battles in Congress.
"The American people want solutions, and tonight they responded by renewing our House Republican majority," he said at a gathering of Republicans in Washington. "The American people also made clear there's no mandate for raising tax rates."
One of the top fights when Congress returns for a postelection session this month will be over the looming expiration of income tax cuts first enacted a decade ago under President George W. Bush. Republicans want to renew them all, while President Barack Obama wants the cuts to expire for the highest-earning Americans.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., refused to concede. She told Democrats rallying a few blocks away from the GOP rally where Boehner spoke that by evening's end, Democrats would end up "exceeding everyone's expectations and perhaps achieving 25," the number of added seats Democrats would need to gain House control.
A glimmer of hope remained for some Democratic gains as 11 members of the tea-party backed House GOP freshman class of 2010 were trailing in incomplete returns.
GOP attorney Andy Barr defeated Democrat Ben Chandler after losing to him by just 647 votes in 2010. Chandler, among a dwindling number of moderate Blue Dog Democrats, has represented the district in Kentucky horse country surrounding Lexington, since 2004 but faced voters who heavily favored Republican challenger Mitt Romney, who easily carried the state over Obama.
Republicans also ousted Rep. Larry Kissell of North Carolina, a two-term veteran who was among several Democrats in the state who faced far tougher districts due to GOP-controlled redistricting. By mid-evening, Republicans had also picked up two open seats in the state, including one abandoned by Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler, who announced his retirement after it became clear that his district would have been harder for him to win.
Others re-elected easily included House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.; No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland; and Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, another top Democrat.
Also winning was Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., the Chicago lawmaker who took medical leave from Congress in June and has been at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for treatment of bipolar disorder. His only campaigning has been by automated phone calls to voters.
Democrats had been hoping to add the 25 seats on Election Day that they would need to take control of the chamber from Republicans, or at least gain a healthy number of districts. But after both sides' House candidates and their allies spent a record $1.1 billion campaigning, it appeared Democrats might pick up just a handful of seats.
Though all 435 House seats were in play, only around 60 featured truly competitive races.
Democrats targeted many of the 87 members of the GOP's tea party-backed freshman class of 2010 that swept the party to House control. Only about two dozen faced threatening challenges.
As Obama's lead over GOP challenger Mitt Romney shriveled to a near draw as Election Day approached, Democrats' expectations for coattails that would boost their House candidates shrunk as well. Republicans, building off their enhanced control of statehouses, also did a robust job of protecting their incumbents and weakening Democrats when congressional district lines were redrawn after the 2010 census, especially in states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
The economy and jobs dominated the presidential campaign, but there was little evidence either party had harnessed those issues in a decisive way at the House level. Both sides agreed that this year's election lacked a nationwide wave that would give either side sweeping strength - as occurred when Democrats seized control in 2006 and expanded their majority in 2008, and Republicans snatched the chamber back in 2010.
Democrats had predicted that waning public support for the tea party movement and disgust with gridlock between Congress and Obama would cost Republicans seats. They also said the House GOP budget and its reshaping of the popular Medicare health care program would wound House Republican candidates - especially after the fiscal blueprint's author, GOP Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, became his party's vice presidential nominee.
From coast to coast, Democrats flooded the airwaves with TV spots linking GOP candidates to the tea party and to crusades to abolish Medicare and slash taxes for the rich. Republicans responded by tying Democratic candidates to Obama and his economic stimulus and health care overhaul laws, especially in areas where he is less popular.
Going into Tuesday's voting, Republicans controlled the House 242-193, including vacancies in two formerly GOP-held and three Democratic seats.
Turnover was inevitable, and a large number of newcomers will be sworn into the House in January no matter what.
There were 62 districts where no incumbents were running at all, either because they had retired or lost earlier party primaries or because the seats were newly created to reflect the census.
When combined with likely losses by incumbents, the number of new House members in the next Congress could match the 91 freshmen who started serving in 2011 - a number unmatched since 1993.
Polls underscored the public sentiment that Democrats had hoped they could use to their advantage.
A CBS News-New York Times poll late last month showed just 15 percent of Americans approved of how Congress was handling its job, near its historic lows. And an Associated Press-GfK poll in August showed that 39 percent approved of congressional Democrats while just 31 percent were satisfied with congressional Republicans.
Republicans, however, enjoyed a significant financial edge.
Republican House candidates, the GOP and allies like Karl Rove's American Crossroads political committee and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent a combined $664 million on House races through October, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Democrats and their backers like labor and environmental groups spent a total of $506 million
