This research paper from Saugatuck Technology discusses the multi-sourced hybrid IT environment, including how to recognize the needs that can increase costs and compromise operations, and how to optimize the environments for peak effectiveness.
The typical caseworker only spends about 18 percent of their time in face-to-face contact with children and families while over 12 percent of their time is spent traveling and over 33 percent of their time is spent preparing documentation. Mobility and access to mobile devices are part of our personal lives, but have not become a regular part of the caseworker's professional career. In fact, acceptance of mobile technology by social workers has been slow compared to other industries. This white paper examines the ways in which mobile access to case management systems, data and information, assessment and referral capabilities and other tools could go a long way toward reducing child welfare caseloads and workload, and improving caseworker efficiency. It also details the specific capabilities that child welfare caseworkers need from mobility tools.
Child welfare professionals are making life and death decisions about children and their families every day. Caseworkers are typically juggling caseloads of 20, 30 or more children and families at any given time and the agency they work for might be serving tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of individuals. Each individual in a family might be receiving multiple services with varying eligibility requirements, and any child or family might have more than one caseworker from more than one government organization. This solution brief examines the ways in which technology can enable the transformation of child welfare service delivery by supporting a multi-disciplinary approach to child welfare and by enabling prevention and remediation strategies that help protect children and facilitate permanency, while also improving resource utilization.
File transfer used to be just a tactical issue. Most organizations typically faced relatively straightforward challenges, such as dealing with different file types, developing new transfer protocols and coming up with better encryption algorithms. But now that reliable, secure, automated managed file transfer (MFT) solutions are fundamental to most business processes, the challenges have never been greater. MFT initiatives need to keep up with the rapid growth of current technology megatrends while also meeting the ever-increasing demand for faster, more secure file transfers.
Many organizations struggle with the challenge file transfer. File sizes are bigger, people are using a variety of transmission methods, and sending errors are reducing productivity while increasing costs. What steps are companies taking to transform file transfer in today's extended enterprise? Read this ebook from Aberdeen to learn why leading organizations are moving away from the chaos of multiple methods to a single managed file transfer platform, and get best practices for developing a secure, best-in-class file transfer process of your own.

With the right capabilities, agencies can go beyond simply managing data to exploiting it. Download this article to find out how this can be done without significantly increasing operating costs.
Getting the right information into the right hands at the right time is not only critical in law enforcement – it can be a matter of life or death. To ensure critical data is available to officers – whether in an office or in the field – law enforcement agencies have been making significant investments in technology. But to get the most out of the new tools available to fight crime, law enforcement agencies need an integrated, end-to-end technology strategy — one that delivers the capabilities they need to protect and serve the public in a cost-effective manner. Read this paper to find out how law enforcement agencies can improve public safety outcomes by developing an integrated technology strategy that supports the wide variety of specific capabilities needed to prevent and solve crime.
Whether they are part of a business or working for a government organization, today's investigators, security specialists and intelligence analysts are facing extraordinary pressure to respond quickly to a wide range of threats — from cyber attacks, terrorist threats, criminality, and unethical and immoral activities. These attacks are especially challenging as societies are increasing their reliance on cyberspace for economic growth, societal well-being, government operations and critical infrastructure monitoring and management. Concurrent with the increase in cyberspace reliance is an increase in cyberspace vulnerability. This vulnerability is amplified by an increasing frequency and complexity of attacks and highly variable, diverse and rapidly evolving threats. As such, there is a greater burden on organizations to respond in real time.
With budgets pressures increasing, agencies are looking for anything that can help them maintain mission capabilities.

If you've ever scanned the comments section on an electric car or bike article, you'll be familiar with this complaint: "that's not green, it's just a coal-powered vehicle." Well, not this one. The Immortus is an electric car built to generate its own power through some 7 sq m (75 sq ft) of solar photovoltaic paneling. You can charge its battery off the mains if you have to, but if conditions are sunny, the inbuilt solar panels alone will let you drive at more than 60 km/h (37 mph) for an unlimited distance.Read More

The original Lamborghini Gallardo is a mesmerizing and eminently collectible piece of automotive art. The work of Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design, its sweeping lines, aggressive stance, and stylish good looks made it instantly recognizable as an Italian luxury supercar.

Here's the question you clicked on:
use the function to answer the question: x+14 if x<-7 f(x) 21 if -7 ≤x<-6 x^2 -1 if x ≥ -6 what is the value of f(-6)?
Since u want to find F(x) at x=-6 , U will use the Function F(x)= x^2-1 because x is bigger or **Equal** -6 Plug -6 in the equation so it will be F(-6)=(-6)^2-1=.....
what about f(x)=x^2-4; g(x)=x+2 which is equal to (f+g)(x)
U mean Find F(F(x)+g(x)) ?
no its f(x)+g(x) im not to sure but i think that might be it
then just add them x^2-4+x+2 = ?
okay so what is f(x)=4x-1 g(x)=5x^2 which is equal to (fºg)(x)?
for (fog)(x) , replace 'x' in f(x) by g(x) = 5x^2
so then : 4(5x^2)-1
yup, that will be 20x^2-1
and then what is f(x)=4x-7 g(x)=x+3 what is the function of (gºf)(4)
is it 12?
to get (gof)(x) replace 'x' in g(x) by f(x) and then put x=4
yup, its 12
what is f(x)=5x-10 what is the value of f^-1 (-3)
so got that, its 1.4
any more questions to come ?
what is the vertex of the graph of f(x)=-2|x-5|+3
i think its -5, 3
nopes, (5,3) vertex for f(x) = p|x+a|+b is -a,b
ohhh okay
the graph of g(x) results when the graph of f(x)=-|x| is shifted 3 units to the left. i think it's g(x)=-|x+3|
what is the value of f(-4) when f(x)= -10 if x< -5 x^3 if -5≤x≤2 2x+4 if x>2
in which range does -4 lie ?
the middle one and the last one
not the last one, x>2 means x cannot be -4 so only middle one. put x= -4 in middle function, what do u get ?
thats your answer :)
okay now this one is kinda confusing to me but i think i know the answer....
i think it is the third one, but im not too sure....
nopes, its 4th. put these values, x=0,0.5,1,1.5,..., find g(x) u will get it
ohhhh i get it!!! its soo confusing sometimes!
f(x)=2x+5 g(x)=3x^2 which is equal to (fºg)(x)? i tried it and i got 3x^2+2x+5 but i think it's wrong....
put x= 3x^2 in f(x) 2(3x^2)+5 = ?
omg you make it easier to understand hahaha
more questions ? i need to go...
yea one last one f(x)=2/x g(x)=|x|-1 what is the domain of (fºg)(x)
fog (x) = ?
x|x=real numbers x|x ≠0 x|x≠0, x≠1 x|x≠-1, x≠1
f(g(x)) = 2/(|x|-1) ok? for which values is denominator = 0 ??
no the ones i put up last were the options
i know. denominator should not be 0 |x|-1 should not be 0 for x=1, |1|-1=1-1=0 for x=-1, |-1|-1=1-1=0 so x|x≠-1, x≠1 got it ?
ohh okay yea! thank you! you make it easier to understand ty very much
welcome :)

|Updated: Will Middlebrooks takes batting practice after wrist exam
|02.28.13 at 9:44 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — How long will Will Middlebrooks be out due to the right wrist injury he suffered on Wednesday night when checking his swing awkwardly against Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman?
"A year or two?" he mused on Thursday morning, before cracking a grin.
He could afford to joke. After an examination by both Red Sox team trainers and a hand specialist, the third baseman was cleared to resume full baseball activity. Indeed, the key indicators of his health were so positive — Middlebrooks reported that he felt no pain, all strength tests indicated that there was no evidence of weakness and he showed no discomfort when the training staff manipulated his wrist — that the team did not feel it was necessary for him to be sent for either an X-ray or an MRI. Middlebrooks was even able to take batting practice on Thursday, less than 24 hours after being removed from Wednesday night's game against the Orioles due to pain created by an awkward check swing against on an up-and-in fastball from right-hander Chris Tillman.
"His exam this morning was benign. He didn't feel any discomfort when he was put through a battery of tests and he's actually been cleared for all baseball activities, but I'm sure he's going to take the day to just let it rest," said Sox manager John Farrell. "But given the way he came out after the swing, it was obviously very good news this morning.'
The Sox expect that Middlebrooks will be able to play in Friday night's game, so long as there are no issues that emerge in batting practice. For his part, the third baseman exuded confidence when he arrived at JetBlue Park for an exam on Thursday morning.
"I'm fine, man. Same as last night. Just scared. It scared me. I felt just an awkward feeling, awkward movement of the wrist. It was the initial zing of pain and that was it. I expect to be fine. I'm fine right now. I could have swung a bat last night," said Middlebrooks. Read the rest of this entry »

Janet Yellen's First Monetary Policy Speech - Live Feed
Markets will be hanging on every word of what is likely Janet Yellen's first monetary policy speech and even more so the Q&A afterwards as she suggests that a considerable time is more than 6 months, and the delicate balance she has to play between admitting the economy is ugly while admitting that QE is over no matter what... all the while maintaining some semblance of credibility. One has to wonder if the ripfest rally of the last 24 hours is a buy the rumor ramp ahead of a sell the Yellen news event as once again she is tested...
The 3 key factors will be:
- her jobs (economy) dashboard - just what does she look for and how does she use them...?
- her view of inflation - transitory dip, weather? or rip she's afraid of...?
- Financial stability - nope, no bubbles here...?
Janet Yellen is speaking at The Economic Club of New York:

Monetary Policy and the Economic Recovery
Nearly five years into the expansion that began after the financial crisis and the Great Recession, the recovery has come a long way. More than 8 million jobs have been added to nonfarm payrolls since 2009, almost the same number lost as a result of the recession. Led by a resurgent auto industry, manufacturing output has also nearly returned to its pre-recession peak. While the housing market still has far to go, it seems to have turned a corner.
It is a sign of how far the economy has come that a return to full employment is, for the first time since the crisis, in the medium-term outlooks of many forecasters. It is a reminder of how far we have to go, however, that this long-awaited outcome is projected to be more than two years away.
Today I will discuss how my colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and I view the state of the economy and how this view is likely to shape our efforts to promote a return to maximum employment in a context of price stability. I will start with the FOMC's outlook, which foresees a gradual return over the next two to three years of economic conditions consistent with its mandate.
While monetary policy discussions naturally begin with a baseline outlook, the path of the economy is uncertain, and effective policy must respond to significant unexpected twists and turns the economy may take. My primary focus today will be on how the FOMC's monetary policy framework has evolved to best support the recovery through those twists and turns, and what this framework is likely to imply as the recovery progresses.
The Current Economic Outlook
The FOMC's current outlook for continued, moderate growth is little changed from last fall. In recent months, some indicators have been notably weak, requiring us to judge whether the data are signaling a material change in the outlook. The unusually harsh winter weather in much of the nation has complicated this judgment, but my FOMC colleagues and I generally believe that a significant part of the recent softness was weather related.
The continued improvement in labor market conditions has been important in this judgment. The unemployment rate, at 6.7 percent, has fallen three-tenths of 1 percentage point since late last year. Broader measures of unemployment that include workers marginally attached to the labor force and those working part time for economic reasons have fallen a bit more than the headline unemployment rate, and labor force participation, which had been falling, has ticked up this year.
Inflation, as measured by the price index for personal consumption expenditures, has slowed from an annual rate of about 2-1/2 percent in early 2012 to less than 1 percent in February of this year.1 This rate is well below the Committee's 2 percent longer-run objective. Many advanced economies are observing a similar softness in inflation.
To some extent, the low rate of inflation seems due to influences that are likely to be temporary, including a deceleration in consumer energy prices and outright declines in core import prices in recent quarters. Longer-run inflation expectations have remained remarkably steady, however. We anticipate that, as the effects of transitory factors subside and as labor market gains continue, inflation will gradually move back toward 2 percent.
In sum, the central tendency of FOMC participant projections for the unemployment rate at the end of 2016 is 5.2 to 5.6 percent, and for inflation the central tendency is 1.7 to 2 percent.2 If this forecast was to become reality, the economy would be approaching what my colleagues and I view as maximum employment and price stability for the first time in nearly a decade. I find this baseline outlook quite plausible.
Of course, if the economy obediently followed our forecasts, the job of central bankers would be a lot easier and their speeches would be a lot shorter. Alas, the economy is often not so compliant, so I will ask your indulgence for a few more minutes.
Three Big Questions for the FOMC
Because the course of the economy is uncertain, monetary policymakers need to carefully watch for signs that it is diverging from the baseline outlook and then respond in a systematic way. Let me turn first to monitoring and discuss three questions I believe are likely to loom large in the FOMC's ongoing assessment of where we are on the path back to maximum employment and price stability.
Is there still significant slack in the labor market?
The first question concerns the extent of slack in the labor market. One of the FOMC's objectives is to promote a return to maximum employment, but exactly what conditions are consistent with maximum employment can be difficult to assess. Thus far in the recovery and to this day, there is little question that the economy has remained far from maximum employment, so measurement difficulties were not our focus. But as the attainment of our maximum employment goal draws nearer, it will be necessary for the FOMC to form a more nuanced judgment about when the recovery of the labor market will be materially complete. As the FOMC's statement on longer-term goals and policy strategy emphasizes, these judgments are inherently uncertain and must be based on a wide range of indicators.3
I will refer to the shortfall in employment relative to its mandate-consistent level as labor market slack, and there are a number of different indicators of this slack. Probably the best single indicator is the unemployment rate. At 6.7 percent, it is now slightly more than 1 percentage point above the 5.2 to 5.6 percent central tendency of the Committee's projections for the longer-run normal unemployment rate. This shortfall remains significant, and in our baseline outlook, it will take more than two years to close.4
Other data suggest that there may be more slack in labor markets than indicated by the unemployment rate. For example, the share of the workforce that is working part time but would prefer to work full time remains quite high by historical standards. Similarly, while the share of workers in the labor force who are unemployed and have been looking for work for more than six months has fallen from its peak in 2010, it remains as high as any time prior to the Great Recession.5 There is ongoing debate about why long-term unemployment remains so high and the degree to which it might decline in a more robust economy. As I argued more fully in a recent speech, I believe that long-term unemployment might fall appreciably if economic conditions were stronger.6
The low level of labor force participation may also signal additional slack that is not reflected in the headline unemployment rate. Participation would be expected to fall because of the aging of the population, but the decline steepened in the recovery. Although economists differ over what share of those currently outside the labor market might join or rejoin the labor force in a stronger economy, my own view is that some portion of the decline in participation likely represents labor market slack.7
Lastly, economists also look to wage pressures to signal a tightening labor market. At present, wage gains continue to proceed at a historically slow pace in this recovery, with few signs of a broad-based acceleration. As the extent of slack we see today diminishes, however, the FOMC will need to monitor these and other labor market indicators closely to judge how much slack remains and, therefore, how accommodative monetary policy should be.
Is inflation moving back toward 2 percent?
A second question that is likely to figure heavily in our assessment of the recovery is whether inflation is moving back toward the FOMC's 2 percent longer-run objective, as envisioned in our baseline outlook. As the most recent FOMC statement emphasizes, inflation persistently below 2 percent could pose risks to economic performance.
The FOMC strives to avoid inflation slipping too far below its 2 percent objective because, at very low inflation rates, adverse economic developments could more easily push the economy into deflation. The limited historical experience with deflation shows that, once it starts, deflation can become entrenched and associated with prolonged periods of very weak economic performance.8
A persistent bout of very low inflation carries other risks as well. With the federal funds rate currently near its lower limit, lower inflation translates into a higher real value for the federal funds rate, limiting the capacity of monetary policy to support the economy.9 Further, with longer-term inflation expectations anchored near 2 percent in recent years, persistent inflation well below this expected value increases the real burden of debt for households and firms, which may put a drag on economic activity.
I will mention two considerations that will be important in assessing whether inflation is likely to move back to 2 percent as the economy recovers. First, we anticipate that, as labor market slack diminishes, it will exert less of a drag on inflation. However, during the recovery, very high levels of slack have seemingly not generated strong downward pressure on inflation. We must therefore watch carefully to see whether diminishing slack is helping return inflation to our objective.10 Second, our baseline projection rests on the view that inflation expectations will remain well anchored near 2 percent and provide a natural pull back to that level. But the strength of that pull in the unprecedented conditions we continue to face is something we must continue to assess.
Finally, the FOMC is well aware that inflation could also threaten to rise substantially above 2 percent. At present, I rate the chances of this happening as significantly below the chances of inflation persisting below 2 percent, but we must always be prepared to respond to such unexpected outcomes, which leads us to my third question.
What factors may push the recovery off track?
Myriad factors continuously buffet the economy, so the Committee must always be asking, "What factors may be pushing the recovery off track?" For example, over the nearly 5 years of the recovery, the economy has been affected by greater-than-expected fiscal drag in the United States and by spillovers from the sovereign debt and banking problems of some euro-area countries. Further, our baseline outlook has changed as we have learned about the degree of structural damage to the economy wrought by the crisis and the subsequent pace of healing.
Let me offer an example of how these issues shape policy. Four years ago, in April 2010, the outlook appeared fairly bright. The emergency lending programs that the Federal Reserve implemented at the height of the crisis had been largely wound down, and the Fed was soon to complete its first large-scale asset purchase program. Private-sector forecasters polled in the April 2010 Blue Chip survey were predicting that the unemployment rate would fall steadily to 8.6 percent in the final quarter of 2011.11
This forecast proved quite accurate--the unemployment rate averaged 8.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. But this was not the whole story. In April 2010, Blue Chip forecasters not only expected falling unemployment, they also expected the FOMC to soon begin raising the federal funds rate. Indeed, they expected the federal funds rate to reach 1.3 percent by the second quarter of 2011.12 By July 2010, however, with growth disappointing and the FOMC expressing concerns about softening in both growth and inflation, the Blue Chip forecast of the federal funds rate in mid-2011 had fallen to 0.8 percent, and by October the forecasters expected that the rate would remain in the range of 0 to 25 basis points throughout 2011, as turned out to be the case.13 Not only did expectations of policy tightening recede, the FOMC also initiated a new $600 billion asset purchase program in November 2010.
Thus, while the reductions in the unemployment rate through 2011 were roughly as forecast in early 2010, this improvement only came about with the FOMC providing a considerably higher level of accommodation than originally anticipated.
This experience was essentially repeated the following year. In April 2011, Blue Chip forecasters expected the unemployment rate to fall to 7.9 percent by the fourth quarter of 2012, with the FOMC expected to have already raised the federal funds rate to near 1 percent by mid-2012.14
As it turned out, the unemployment rate forecast was once more remarkably accurate, but again this was associated with considerably more accommodation than anticipated. In response to signs of slowing economic activity, in August 2011 the FOMC for the first time expressed its forward guidance in terms of the calendar, stating that conditions would likely warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013. The following month, the Committee added to accommodation by adopting a new balance sheet policy known as the maturity extension program. 15
Thus, in both 2011 and 2012, the unemployment rate actually declined by about as much as had been forecast the previous year, but only after unexpected weakness prompted additional accommodative steps by the Federal Reserve. In both cases, I believe that the FOMC's decision to respond to signs of weakness with significant additional accommodation played an important role in helping to keep the projected labor market recovery on track.16 These episodes illustrate what I described earlier as a vital aspect of effective monetary policymaking: monitor the economy for signs that events are unfolding in a materially different manner than expected and adjust policy in response in a systematic manner. Now I will turn from the task of monitoring to the policy response.
Policy Challenges in an Unprecedented Recovery
Fundamental to modern thinking on central banking is the idea that monetary policy is more effective when the public better understands and anticipates how the central bank will respond to evolving economic conditions. Specifically, it is important for the central bank to make clear how it will adjust its policy stance in response to unforeseen economic developments in a manner that reduces or blunts potentially harmful consequences. If the public understands and expects policymakers to behave in this systematically stabilizing manner, it will tend to respond less to such developments. Monetary policy will thus have an "automatic stabilizer" effect that operates through private-sector expectations. It is important to note that tying the response of policy to the economy necessarily makes the future course of the federal funds rate uncertain. But by responding to changing circumstances, policy can be most effective at reducing uncertainty about the course of inflation and employment.
Recall how this worked during the couple of decades before the crisis--a period sometimes known as the Great Moderation. The FOMC's main policy tool, the federal funds rate, was well above zero, leaving ample scope to respond to the modest shocks that buffeted the economy during that period. Many studies confirmed that the appropriate response of policy to those shocks could be described with a fair degree of accuracy by a simple rule linking the federal funds rate to the shortfall or excess of employment and inflation relative to their desired values.17 The famous Taylor rule provides one such formula.18
The idea that monetary policy should react in a systematic manner in order to blunt the effects of shocks has remained central in the FOMC's policymaking during this recovery. However, the application of this idea has been more challenging. With the federal funds rate pinned near zero, the FOMC has been forced to rely on two less familiar policy tools--the first one being forward guidance regarding the future setting of the federal funds rate and the second being large-scale asset purchases. There are no time-tested guidelines for how these tools should be adjusted in response to changes in the outlook. As the episodes recounted earlier illustrate, the FOMC has continued to try to adjust its policy tools in a systematic manner in response to new information about the economy. But because both the tools and the economic conditions have been unfamiliar, it has also been critical that the FOMC communicate how it expects to deploy its tools in response to material changes in the outlook.
Let me review some important elements in the evolution of the FOMC's communication framework. When the FOMC initially began using its unconventional tools, policy communication was relatively simple. In December 2008, for example, the FOMC said it expected that conditions would warrant keeping the federal funds rate near zero for "some time." This period before the "liftoff" in the federal funds rate was described in increasingly specific, and (as it turned out) longer, periods over time--"some time" became "an extended period," which was later changed to "mid-2013," then "late 2014," then "mid-2015."19 This fixed, calendar-based guidance had the virtue of simplicity, but it lacked the automatic stabilizer property of communication that would signal how and why the stance of policy and forward guidance might change as developments unfolded, and as we learned about the extent of the need for accommodation.
More recently, the Federal Reserve, and I might add, other central banks around the world, have sought to incorporate this automatic stabilizer feature in their communications. In December 2012, the Committee reformulated its forward guidance, stating that it anticipated that the federal funds rate would remain near zero at least as long as the unemployment rate remained above 6-1/2 percent, inflation over the period between one and two years ahead was projected to be no more than half a percentage point above the Committee's objective, and longer-term inflation expectations continued to be well anchored. This guidance emphasized to the public that it could count on a near-zero federal funds rate at least until substantial progress in the recovery had been achieved, however long that might take. When these thresholds were announced, the unemployment rate was reported to be 7.7 percent, and the Committee projected that the 6-1/2 percent threshold would not be reached for another 2-1/2 years--in mid-2015. The Committee emphasized that these numerical criteria were not triggers for raising the federal funds rate, and Chairman Bernanke stated that, ultimately, any decision to begin removing accommodation would be based on a wide range of indicators.
Our communications about asset purchases have undergone a similar transformation. The initial asset purchase programs had fixed time and quantity limits, although those limits came with a proviso that they might be adjusted. In the fall of 2012, the FOMC launched its current purchase program, this time explicitly tying the course of the program to evolving economic conditions. When the program began, the rate of purchases was $85 billion per month, and the Committee indicated that purchases would continue, providing that inflation remained well behaved, until there was a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market.
Based on the cumulative progress toward maximum employment since the initiation of the program and the improvement in the outlook for the labor market, the FOMC began reducing the pace of asset purchases last December, stating that "[i]f incoming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its longer-term objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings." Purchases are currently proceeding at a pace of $55 billion per month. Consistent with my theme today, however, the FOMC statement underscores that purchases are not on a preset course--the FOMC stands ready to adjust the pace of purchases as warranted should the outlook change materially.
Recent Changes to the Forward Guidance
At our most recent meeting in March, the FOMC reformulated its forward guidance for the federal funds rate. While one of the main motivations for this change was that the unemployment rate might soon cross the 6-1/2 percent threshold, the new formulation is also well suited to help the FOMC explain policy adjustments that may arise in response to changes in the outlook. I should note that the change in the forward guidance did not indicate a change in the Committee's policy intentions, but instead was made to clarify the Committee's thinking about policy as the economy continues to recover. The new guidance provides a general description of the framework that the FOMC will apply in making decisions about the timing of liftoff. Specifically, in determining how long to maintain the current target range of 0 to 25 basis points for the federal funds rate, "the Committee will assess progress, both realized and expected, toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation." In other words, the larger the shortfall of employment or inflation from their respective objectives, and the slower the projected progress toward those objectives, the longer the current target range for the federal funds rate is likely to be maintained. This approach underscores the continuing commitment of the FOMC to maintain the appropriate degree of accommodation to support the recovery. The new guidance also reaffirms the FOMC's view that decisions about liftoff should not be based on any one indicator, but that it will take into account a wide range of information on the labor market, inflation, and financial developments.
Along with this general framework, the FOMC provided an assessment of what that framework implies for the likely path of policy under the baseline outlook. At present, the Committee anticipates that economic and financial conditions will likely warrant maintaining the current range "for the federal funds rate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the Committee's 2 percent longer-run goal, and provided that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored."
Finally, the Committee began explaining more fully how policy may operate in the period after liftoff, indicating its expectation that economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping short-term interest rates below levels the Committee views as likely to prove normal in the longer run. FOMC participants have cited different reasons for this view, but many of the reasons involve persistent effects of the financial crisis and the possibility that the productive capacity of the economy will grow more slowly, at least for a time, than it did, on average, before the crisis. The expectation that the achievement of our economic objectives will likely require low real interest rates for some time is again not confined to the United States but is shared broadly across many advanced economies. Of course, this guidance is a forecast and will evolve as we gain further evidence about how the economy is operating in the wake of the crisis and ensuing recession.
In summary, the policy framework I have described reflects the FOMC's commitment to systematically respond to unforeseen economic developments in order to promote a return to maximum employment in a context of price stability.
It is very welcome news that a return to these conditions has finally appeared in the medium-term outlook of many forecasters. But it will be much better news when this objective is reached. My colleagues on the FOMC and I will stay focused on doing the Federal Reserve's part to promote this goal.

Algos are gonna love this. Fasten your seatbelts!
It is at or near the anniversary of the precious metals massacre. Should be a fun day. Yellen is like obama, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Looks like your grandma, but is a bowl cut wearing demonic vessel.
Take away Belgium and let's see what her punchbowl looks
I have no idea how long the IMF belgium shellgame can continue, but probably longer than many can remain solvent. Oh well, in other news, fuck everything.
Pat I'd like to solve the puzzle: "I WOULD NOT FUCK HER WITH YOUR DICK". Applause....as Vanna blushes.
word on the street is she's hung like a donkey.
Reporter (usually Liesman): Fed Chaircunt, you do realize the last time you spoke, the market sold-off a bit due to your hokey free speech. Do you think maybe this time, you'll read from something someone actually has knowledge of or maybe borrow one of obama's teleprompters?
Fed Chaircunt: I only answer to Uncle Warren when he's drinking wine in the bathtub. (all mkts 'cept phys rally)
See the conceit? We have a goddamn COMMITTEE that decides the economic future of the nation?
Anyone see anything wrong with that? No?
Yellen is the new High Priest(ess). "Trust the experts. We are looking out for you. Its too complicated to understand, so just leave it to us. Full employment and price stability, by decree!"
Fun Fact:
If you close your eyes and listen to Yellen speaking, you'll swear that Woody Allen's retarded sibling is running the Fed.
a cat with a mellon on its head in the shape of a helmet.
You talkin' about me?
Hmm... So now I can rightly blame both Bernanke AND Yellen for the pending collapse? Cuz that's what I've inferred from this article. Maybe bernanke deserves the brunt of our anger... but there's always enough for Yellen the Felon.
It's easier to read Janet with a Blue light in my hand
Apparently the only way Yellen can imagine "full employment" is with the coffers of the TBTF banks so full as to be spilling over the brim and thus finally "trickling" devalued FRNs down to a parched Main Street. Yeah that will work. We have 6 years proof.
Watch for the signals....if she adjusts her bra then buy the wides....if she pulls up her panties go long....if she twirls her hair then hedge....if she farts close out your longs
Thank you Mr. Yellen. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programing for the masses.
Just how long were these global extraordinary actions supposed to go on?
When are the questions going to be asked . . . "when do we get back to normal? Is this world of constant central bank control to be permanent?"
end of 2016? so minimum 2 1/2 years more of zirp (of course we all know its zirp to infinity, but thats the feds longest lead guidance)
markets must be ripping upwards
I doubt they are willing to, or capable of, funding a repeat of that disaster with actual gold deliveries. I'd welcome the chance to stack up at even more stupid prices. But I think GLD is actually empty now, just like SLV. I think they both had their product used by the bankers to fund the attacks with deliveries, and it was probably all legal how they got a hold of it. The glaring 2 year undeviating flatline of SLV inventory levels is an oddity I cannot explain,without assuming 10k is the new zero. We shall see what GLD inventories look like for the next few years. I assume 1k is the new zero in their accounting books. Just speculation of course. But I have learned well how bankers operate. They are liars and thieves who make a living selling other people's stuff or stuff that does not exist.
Ben said this would occur this year, when he spoke two years ago..
See now the timeline keeps moving further and further out, culminating in a gigantic clusterfuck of not one motherfucking thing happening for the good of anybody except the banks.
The almighty FED is nothing but a BAD JOKE now.

I see the early hints of what will be a very fine beard, I think
She is basically saying ...
"Shit man - shit sucks ..."
Fuckin, bitch, cunt, piece of bankster trash, shut the fuck up, if everything thing is fine, then why speak at all.
If the Government takes in record revenues, the recession is over, and military spending is down, why is there a $400 billion deficit? HINT: it's not a tax problem. Fuck you!
We're all friends here, don't hold back. L O L. Speaking of which, more funding for adult onset tourette's syndrome should be diverted from the likes of congressional barber shops.
Yes, in a nutshell; "we will continue to print money out of thin air and hand it to our banking friends in the financial/war sector, fuck everyone else". - Janet Yellen
Job market is showing sings of strong recovery, inflation is not high enough and no bubbles. There it is for you.
Yellen is a fucking (useful) idiot.
I'd like to see an old Bernank speech with him projecting 2-3 years for recovery. hahahha
Now children, free lunch for everyone then a nap. My voice is annoying, isn't it?
Now, here are some words: Transitory, inflation, unemployment. Don't forget to eat your green shoots and don't forget to say goodbye to grandpa Greenspan and have some ribbon candy on the way out.
OH ok, this why totally non-manipulated indexes are up across the board today, there's the hope for a ladle more QE porridge.
bullfucking shit liar shill bitchass whore

The ankle strain is the most common amid the soccer and basketball players, beside these sportsmen and athletes, persons also receive the ankle pressure even though managing and stairs climbing; an ankle is usually wounded by stretching or tearing of ligament. The ligaments keep the muscle mass groups and bones collectively and prohibit the quantity of side-to-side motion, so when they're stretched or torn, even mildly, it causes sharp pains within the ankle, regularly accompanied by swelling. Sprains can materialize in the course of any sort of activity, irrespective of whether or not big collision or modest affect, together with from stepping inside a quite gap and twisting an ankle.

The truth is, it truly is advocate that athletes linked with athletics which have been possibly to lead to ankle sprains like snowboarding or soccer needs to avail ankle supports to forestall the prevalence from the agonizing accidents. Presently, you will find high-tech ankle brace, on quite a few sites but its authenticity is actually a dilemma. Some ankle supports are specially established to include the ankle damage for that reason is produced of sunshine product staying cosy and provide reasonable precautions.
The greatest thing about ankle brace
Anybody endured an ankle damage, it should be best to put an ankle brace or possibly ankle supports to forestall a lot more hurt to tissues. A variety of form of ankle braces can be obtained for a variety of condition, you can check out for the primary ecommerce web site Amazon, to get a suitable ankle brace, amongst the most adaptable ankle brace is often purchased within the link- http://www.amazon.com/CopperJoint-Compression-Plantar-Fasciitis-Infused/dp/B00YIAG6R4. The braces just like the Copper Joint are crafted to become worn in the shoe and its versatility and light-weight progress inspires the suitable motion all by way of athletics. These light-weight ankle supports normally are worn to aid steadiness and forestall damage. Some light-weight, peaceful ankle supports may well also be worn to boost steadiness, therefore averting damage in daily things to do. If someone is recovering in the diploma II or III ankle sprain, it is possible to discover ankle braces offering affordable aid, that occur to generally be largely designed to endorse therapeutic in the assortment of private damage.

The European Union is holding off imposing further sanctions on Russia for now over its actions in Ukraine until it sees if a deal reached in Geneva last week works, EU diplomats said on Tuesday.
EU foreign ministers agreed on April 14 to step up sanctions by expanding their list of 33 people targeted with asset freezes and visa bans for their roles in Moscow's seizure and annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in February.
But so far, although EU officials have been drawing up new names that could be added to the list, no decisions have been taken.
EU diplomats said the reason was that the bloc wanted to allow time to see if an agreement reached in Geneva last week would work.
For the same reason, the EU has not moved any closer to imposing stricter trade and financial sanctions on Russia to punish it for its annexation of Crimea and what Western officials say is its destabilisation of eastern Ukraine.
"We are still thinking about giving the Geneva accord a little bit more time," one diplomat said.
Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said the process of drawing up new names to add to the sanctions list was still under way.
"Clearly throughout this discussion, what happens in terms of sanctions is very much dependent on what is happening on the ground in Ukraine," he told reporters.
EU officials would not say how long they would give the Geneva agreement to work before fresh sanctions came back on the table.
The U.S. government said on Monday it would decide "in days" on additional sanctions if Russia did not take steps to implement the Geneva agreement.
Under the deal signed in Geneva last week, the EU, Russia, Ukraine and the United States agreed that illegal armed groups would go home in a process to be overseen by Europe's OSCE security watchdog.
The agreement seems to be faltering with pro-Russian separatist gunmen showing no sign of surrendering government buildings they have seized in eastern Ukraine.
Moscow and Ukraine's Western-backed government have each questioned the other's compliance with the agreement.
Moscow, which denies it is orchestrating the militants in eastern Ukraine, says it could handle any tougher economic sanctions the West might impose.
The European Commission handed documents to EU member states last week explaining the potential impact on their economies of imposing stricter trade and financial sanctions on Russia.
Countries were given until Tuesday to respond to the Commission, which will then tailor the package so that a decision can be taken by EU leaders if the situation in Ukraine worsens.
