Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-09) announced his support of H.R. 1173, the Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act of 2011. The bill would repeal the CLASS Act, which is the new long-term care entitlement created by what he termed Obamacare. The Obama Administration decided to halt plans to implement the long-term care program in October of 2011, after determining it was too costly and would not work.
Rep. Graves said, "The House took a positive step today towards canceling Obamacare.
"Republicans in Congress need to vigorously continue our effort to cancel the entire Obamacare law. Besides trampling on the Constitution and personal responsibility, the law is ungainly, intrusive into the private sector, and a drag on the American economy. The report released by the Congressional Budget Office yesterday told us that Obamacare will, among other things, make Medicaid far more costly. At a time when the CBO is telling Americans the national debt will approach $20 trillion by the end of the decade, we simply can't afford to pay for another big-government entitlement program."

Top Five Mid-Range Smartphones Priced Below ₹15,000
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Rohit KVN | February 17, 2013 1:35 AM EST
India being an emerging market is crowded with more than 135 MNCs and Indian smartphone makers vying for a formidable share in the market.
The smartphone makers are very well aware that the price-sensitive middle-class people make a big chunk of the Indian population; they demand smartphones with standard features and still expect the price to be easy on their pockets.
Indian smartphone market witnesses a slew of new releases throughout the year, and it is difficult for people to pick a good product among them.
Top 5 Mid-range Smartphones Available in India Market:
Micromax A116 Canvas HD:
Indian rising star, Micromax recently released its flagship smartphone A116 Canvas HD, registering a record sales on the opening day by selling out the first batch of smartphones within 15 minutes of its release at its online retail shop.
Micromax smartphone A116 Canvas HD is priced at just ₹13,990 but has promising specs that could give stiff competition to MNC smartphone makers. It features a 5-inch HD display with 294 ppi (pixel per inch) resolution density, and runs on the latest Android Jelly Bean OS powered by quad-core processor.
Sony Xperia Miro:
Xperia Miro is one of the success stories of Sony's flagship Xperia series. It sports a 3.5-inch HVGA TFT capacitive screen with a 320x480p resolutions. Xperia Miro runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich powered by Qualcomm Scorpion processor with 800 MHz CPU speed.
Sony's flagship smartphone ships with 512MB RAM and 4GB memory, capable of expanding memory up to 32GB with the help microSD. It is priced at ₹12,990.
Samsung Galaxy S duos:
Even though Galaxy S duos was released quite some time ago, it still has enough useful specs to put other new smartphones to shame. It sports a 4-inch TFT display and runs on the Android v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich powered by a 1GHz Cortes-A5 processor with Adreno 200 GPU.
The Dual-SIM smartphone sports a 5.0-megapixel main camera and 0.3-megapixel VGA camera on the front side. It is priced at ₹13,100.
Nokia Lumia 710:
Lumia 710 is one of the most successful smartphone series of Nokia. Its record sales helped the Finnish handset maker to make profits for the first time in a longtime.
The Lumia 710 comes with the Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) OS powered by the Qualcomm Scorpion processor with 1.4GHz clock rate. The smartphone sports a 3.7-inch TFT screen with a ClearBlack Display technology. It is priced at ₹12,999.
The only drawback of this smartphone is that its memory has maximum of 8GB storage and cannot be expanded further.
HTC Desire C:
HTC Desire C has a very compact shape with curved edges at the end; it sits pretty comfortably on hands. The Desire C smartphone sports 3.5-inch HVGA capacitive touch screen with 480x320p resolutions.
It ships with a 5.0-megapixel main camera on the rear side and runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS powered by a processor with 600 MHz clock rate. It is priced at ₹12,999.

Big Brother racist behaviour 'appalling,' says CBS chief
"Big Brother is a social experiment. It always was," says Les Moonves.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.—America should "take a hard look at itself" if it votes to keep Big Brother contestants and alleged racists such as Aaryn Gries or GinaMarie Zimmerman in the competition, says CBS Corp. President Les Moonves.
The reality show has come under fire in season 15 for the alleged racially charged and anti-Semitic comments of some of its contestants, with Gries and Zimmerman being the most high profile.
"I find some of the behaviour absolutely appalling, personally," said Moonves Monday at the Television Critics Association conference in Los Angeles.
"It's unfortunately reflective of how some people feel in America."
This season has been among the most controversial yet, because of remarks that Gries and others have made to fellow contestants who are black and Asian.
Moonves also happens to be married to Big Brother host Julie Chen, who is Asian-American.
"Big Brother is a social experiment, it always was," says Moonves who watches the show every week.
"If I didn't, my wife would kill me. But I feel we handled it properly. We did not comment on some of the things being said until it affected the game."
This was a rare appearance by the legendary broadcast executive who has made CBS the number one U.S. network. He was stepping in for CBS network president Nina Tassler, who could not attend.
Big Brother placed a warning on one of its telecasts saying there were instances of "prejudice" taking place.
On the show, Gries has joked that an Asian-American cast member should "go make some rice." She has also put on an Asian accent in a joke about getting her nails done.
Zimmerman has dropped the N-word, and made racist jokes and comments unfit for publication.
Despite his schedule, Moonves is famously hands-on in the creation of his shows. He says he still has final approval on the casting of his franchises, which includes Amazing Race, Survivor and Big Brother.
"Obviously you don't want wallflowers on reality shows. You want people who are interesting. Obviously that can sometimes lead to controversy."

Kelleher settled in France

Byron Kelleher plans to make Toulouse his home after his career © Getty Images
Toulouse's terrier scrum-half Byron Kelleher has found a new lease of life in France, a country he plans to settle in permanently once he retires from professional rugby.
Kelleher will take the field against Biarritz on Saturday evening attempting to win his first Heineken Cup. He was in his first season at Toulouse when the French succumbed to Munster in the 2008 final at the Millennium Stadium. The experience revived his passion for rugby having left his native country mourning yet another world cup loss.
In an exclusive interview with ESPN, the 58-cap All Black spoke enthusiastically about learning the language and falling in love with the culture but admitted that he suffered from depression during the early months of his relocation directly after New Zealand's shock elimination by France in the quarterfinals of the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
"Throughout my rugby career I had been looking at winning the Rugby World Cup. I have been to three Rugby World Cups and haven't succeeded," he said. "It was a huge disappointment because we had such a good team. In my heart and in my mind it was all about winning that competition, and then having not succeeded and then having to change your life, go out of your country and live in France where they don't speak your language was hard.
"I felt depressed for four to six months. It was difficult to manage. But I thought 'no I've made this decision and now I'm going to stick my feet into the ground and make sure I do the best I can in France."
As well as reaching the European Cup final, Toulouse won the Bouclier de Brennus and Kelleher was named French player of the year.
"It was a great surprise for me and I got really emotional after we won the final, I had tears coming down my face. It was the realisation that you can look within yourself and reach your expectations," Kelleher said.
Saturday's final will mean another new experience for the 33-year-old and one that would be the highlight of any French rugby players' career. The all-French affair in Paris may not be the same as winning a World Cup for the New Zealander, but its significance is not lost on the Kiwi from the Kaikorai rugby club.
"In my heart I want to win in Paris. It's a huge thing for French teams and we have a great opportunity to beat Biarritz."

Fires starting for no reason??
I'm in creative and I'm fixing a village. My village has fences all around it mad I have lava in a cobblestone box. I eliminated the lava. But there are fires all over the trees. I used a water bucket on all the trees. There is still a fire under the water and it's spreading to other trees. I even covered trees with cobblestone. I DONT WANT MY VILLAGE TO CATCH ON FIRE! I read that this might be Herobrine...... Setting fires around my trees. What is it? Thanks :3 -Min3rLaur
Answer from: Cookielover194
I don't think its herobine because he's not on the pe. Maybe there is a lava pit around I would just cut down all the trees. But there might be a chance that herobrine is on your world -Cookielover194

Vicar of Dibley
When their vicar passed away in the middle of a service, the inhabitants of a small Oxfordshire village expected his replacement to be another old man with a beard, a Bible and bad breath. Instead, they got a babe with a bob-cut. Geraldine Granger is a woman - yes, woman - who enjoys nothing more than a good laugh and a packet of chocolate hob nobs. The thoroughly modern, pop music-loving vicar is far from the only eccentric character in the village, however. Stars Dawn French.
