I miscarried and am pregnant again. How can I control my worries?
I miscarried my first pregnancy. I'm now 14 weeks into my second pregnancy and I'm still very nervous about something going wrong. This pregnancy is going very well -- but I still have this nagging fear in the back of my mind. What can I do to make myself feel better?

I had 3 m/c last year. It was very difficult for me. I am now on prometrium. I take it twice a day and it is suppose to help me sustain the pregnancy.

I recently became pregnant for the first time with twins, and it was discovered at 8 weeks that neither one had a heartbeat. I'm devastated; and wanting to try to get pregnant again. How long should I wait? Does it usually take a long time to conceive after the miscarriage?posted 06/07/2004 by spdenver
My husband and I suffered a miscarriage at 14 weeks in July of 2002. It has been two years of trying and finally I took a test and I am Pregnant. It is going to be a long road but I have faith in the lord and I know that miracles do happen. I wish the best and prey for every woman out there that is having a hard time. Keep the faith and you will see. Good Luck...posted 06/05/2004 by Crystylez
I have had one miscarriage in 2001, and I didn't even know anything was wrong with my pregnancy at the time. I was still having morning sickness the day I went for my first prenatal visit. But when I had the probe ultrasound they didn't find a heartbeat, then when they finished checking to make sure it was right, I started bleeding then. My doctor said my uterus was 10 weeks in size but the baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks. I did not want to have a DNC for fear of scarring, and my doctor gave me one month to naturally miscarry on my own or I would have to have the DNC. Which was really rough waiting for my body to pass the baby. When I did miscarry, it was the hardest thing I had to go through, and to add to that all that bloodwork I had to have drawn for a while to make sure my quants were going down was horrible. But now 3 years later, and now 21 I'm still scared to try to get pregnant for fear of miscarrying again. I hope and pray when the time comes I will carry full term. I believe at the time of my first pregnancy that God had other plans for my lifeand he is the only way I made it through it...just leave it in God's hands, and keep faith in him...GOOD LUCK!!!posted 06/02/2004 by emilybrooke
Carrying a child after a loss is rather like holding your breath for nine months. I am seven months pregnant now, after suffering the loss of my first pregnancy, which was ectopic, a little more than a year ago. I was very worried and anxious in the early weeks of my current pregnancy, and looked forward to every doctor's appointment and milestone to have some reassurance that things were OK this time. Each appointment made me feel better at least for that day, but I still worried. You can't help it, even after you get past the point when your odds of a miscarriage become very low. I don't know if this makes you feel better, but I can say that I have become less anxious with each passing month. You may find it helpful to talk to a therapist about your feelings. I have found it helpful to take classes in Hypnobirthing, which are designed to help you relax during childbirth, but practicing the techniques and listening to the relaxation and affirmation cds has also helped me to release much of my anxiety and fear during the last few months as well.posted 05/31/2004 by JenBlk

Hi- I have read so many of the entries on these pages and my heart goes out to each and every one of you brave ladies. I my self had a m/c last year in June 03. It was my first pregnancy ever and I am 30yrs old. It was the first for my husband too. We have been married for 7yrs and a lot of pressure was from our families for a child. we had told everyone because we were so happy.I was about 8wks and we seen the preg every step of the way because we are going threw special reproduction. When there was no heart beat we were devastated and the D&C is very rememberable. We are now pregnant exactly 1yr and 1day from last year today and I have mixed emotions about this baby. But I keep my faith in God and Pray for the Best he will only give out the perfect babies to us special people. Don't give up even when you think you can not do it again! God Bless.posted 05/24/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage December 2003. We didn't know how far along we were because the ultra sound showed 4 weeks and my last period said 10 weeks. My doctor told me to wait 3 months to try again. Now in May 2004 we are 11 weeks along. I too worry about another miscarriage and I hate it even more that everyone wants to talk about us being pregnant. I just don't want to have to explain I miscarried all over again. It was very painful physically and emotionally. I am very private about both so when I told my mom I was having morning sickness she got so excited and told everyone. I feel like she has stolen my thunder and I wasn't ready to share it with the world until I was past the thrid month.posted 05/20/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
In response to the woman not feeling pregnancy symptoms: It is normal to have different symptoms for each pregnancy. I've had four pregnancies each with their own set of symptoms as well as shared symptoms. However, all ended in missed abortions between 11-13 weeks. You should only worry slightly when you've had symptoms that suddenly disappear.posted 05/18/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

Tricyclic Antidepressants for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Aventyl, Pamelor
How It Works
TCAs improve your mood by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters).
In low doses, these medicines may cause drowsiness and sleep. This can be helpful when sleep disorders are a symptom of PMS.
How Well It Works
Some women who have severe premenstrual depression benefit from TCAs. TCAs have not been studied as much as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for their specific effects on PMS mood symptoms.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Thoughts of suicide.
- Agitation and restlessness.
- Seizures.
- Fast heartbeat.
- Nausea and vomiting.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Dry mouth.
- Dizziness.
- Drowsiness.
- Headache.
- Weight gain.
- Constipation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk to your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
You may start to feel better in 1 to 3 weeks of taking antidepressant medicine. But it can take as many as 6 to 8 weeks to see more improvement. If you have questions or concerns about your medicines or if you do not notice any improvement by 3 weeks, talk to your doctor.
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are taken orally every day throughout the menstrual cycle for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. Typically, a low dose is given at first, and the dosage is increased slowly until the medicine takes effect. This helps minimize side effects.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Where I was working yesterday the lady grows gooseberries and they were all black/brown! Not like sooty mould but tough leathery skins. Not come across this before. Any ideas what this is?
Overripe whinhams industry go like that. They start a deep red when ripe, but lack of water will give them leathery skins. They shrivel and go like raisins.
Thanks fidget Very possibly the case. They are not the best of waterers!
I have a 2 yr old gooseberry bush that has grown out of a small gap between a concrete path and a stone outhouse wall, opposite and two metres away from a well established ordinary (green fruit) gooseberry bush. (There are lots of backcurrant bushes nearby, too.) The first year, there were just two or three green fruits; this year, there is a bumber crop, but they have all turned reddish-black in colour. There is no sign of insect disturbance or unhealthy stems or leaves, and, cut open, the fruits seem healthy and uninfested. They even taste okay, if a little more tart than regular gooseberries. Are they a safe mutation, or are they diseased? (I'd upload pictures if I knew how!!)
They look more like blackcurrants JR.
I wonder if you've got your own hybrid.
They do cross, Jostaberries are hybrids between the 2
Worcesterberries are a cross between blackcurrant s and gooseberries.
are jostaberries a cross between something else fidget, or another cross with these 2?
Worcesterberries , I remember being told as a child, were a gooseberry and blackcurrant cross, my mum had a plant from Woolworths. I think they are now thought to be a selection of Ribes divaricum or something like that, and jostaberries some complicated cross between all three. I think the pictured plant is probably some sort of cross. Very gooseberry type leaves but blackcurrant like fruit.
If you like the fruit, I'd take some cuttings, make sure that they have struck and then get the parent plant out of that crack. It's going to cause havoc where it is in later years.
I agree with pansyface on that one.
I agree with all the above and suspect it is a natural cross, probably more towards the jostaberry (I have worcesterberry and they are much more like a gooseberry than a blackcurrant.) Perfectly safe and well worth digging it out and replanting somewhere more appropriate - do that after the leaves fall and it goes dormant. The fruit should really show its worth when cooked and a jam would likely be delicious!

Nearly 500 dogs, some with skin conditions and open sores, have been seized from a Texas kennel where the Humane Society says several dead animals also were found.
Authorities in Montague County about 90 miles northwest of Dallas took the dogs from Maggic Pets/Heddins Kennel after complaints the animals weren't receiving proper veterinary care.
Cloyce Heddins' wife owns the kennel. He tells the Fort Worth Star Telegram the dogs are cared for and says authorities had bad information, possibly from disgruntled customers.
But Sandy Grambort with the Humane Society says authorities found several dead animals and seized others that were ill. She says dogs were found in crates double-stacked in outbuildings, as well as in outdoor pens and kennels.

Non-static member functions
Non-static member functions are the functions that are declared in a member specification of a class without a static or friend specifier.
class S { int mf1(); // non-static member function declaration void mf2() volatile, mf3() &&; // can be cv-qualified and reference-qualifie int mf4() const { return data; } // can be defined inline virtual void mf5() final; // can be virtual, can use final/override S() : data(12) {} // constructors are member functions too int data; }; int S::mf1() { return 7; } // if not defined inline, has to be defined at namespace
Any function declarations are allowed, with additional syntax elements that are only available for non-static member functions: virtual specifiers, final and override specifiers, cv-qualifiers, ref-qualifiers, and member initialization lists.
A non-static member function of class X may be called
Calling a member function of class X on an object of any other type invokes undefined behavior.
Within the body of a non-static member function of X, any id-expression E (e.g. an identifier) that resolves to a non-type non-static member of X or of a base class of X, is transformed to a member access expression (*this).E (unless it's already a part of a member access expression)
struct S { int n; void f(); }; void S::f() { n = 1; // transformed to (*this).n = 1; } int main() { S s1, s2; s1.f(); // changes s1.n }
Within the body of a non-static member function of X, any unqualified-id that resolves to a static member, an enumerator or a nested type of X or of a base class of X, is transformed to the corresponding qualified-id.
struct S { static int n; void f(); }; void S::f() { n = 1; // transformed to S::n = 1; } int main() { S s1, s2; s1.f(); // changes S::n }
const-, volatile-, and ref-qualified member functions
A non-static member function can be declared with a const, volatile, or const volatile qualifier (this qualifier appears after the name of the function in function declaration). Differently cv-qualified functions have different types and so may overload each other.
In the body of a cv-qualified function, the this pointer is cv-qualified, e.g. in a const member function, only other const member functions may be called.
#include <vector> struct Array { std::vector<int> data; Array(int sz) : data(sz) {} // const member function int operator[](int idx) const { // this has type const Array* return data[idx]; // transformed to (*this).data[idx]; } // non-const member function int& operator[](int idx) { // this has type Array* return data[idx]; // transformed to (*this).data[idx] } }; int main() { Array a(10); a[1] = 1; // OK: the type of a[1] is int& const Array ca(10); ca[1] = 2; // Error: the type of ca[1] is int }
(since C++11) A non-static member function can be declared with either an lvalue ref-qualifier (the character
& after the function name) or rvalue ref-qualifier (the character
&& after the function name. During overload resolution, non-static cv-qualified member function of class X is treated as a function that takes an implicit parameter of type lvalue reference to cv-qualified X if it has no ref-qualifiers or if it has the lvalue ref-qualifier. Otherwise (if it has rvalue ref-qualifier), it is treated as a function taking an implicit parameter of type rvalue reference to cv-qualified X.
Note: unlike cv-qualification, ref-qualification does not change the properties of the this pointer: within a rvalue ref-qualified function, *this remains an lvalue expression.
Virtual and pure virtual functions
A non-static member function may be declared virtual or pure virtual. See virtual functions and abstract classes for details.
Special member functions

American Heart Association recognizes UTHCT for its care of cardiac and stroke patients
Tuesday, November 14, 2006
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler is one of just 118 hospitals in the United States to be recognized for its care of cardiac and stroke patients by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's "Get With the Guidelines" program.
Get With the Guidelines is a quality-improvement program that helps hospitals ensure that patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke consistently receive care that meets the latest guidelines and recommendations. UTHSCT received the program's Performance Achievement Award for Coronary Artery Disease on Monday, Nov. 13, at Scientific Sessions 2006 in Chicago, a professional conference sponsored by the AHA.
"This special recognition by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association highlights the quality of health care provided by our medical staff. It is an acknowledgement of their dedication to fulfilling our mission of providing excellent patient care," UTHSCT President Dr. Kirk A. Calhoun said.
To qualify for recognition, hospitals must treat and discharge at least 85 percent of their cardiac or stroke patients using the latest American Heart Association and American Stroke Association guidelines. Each hospital is evaluated using criteria based on medical data showing the best way to treat these conditions. According to the AHA, 80,000 lives could be saved each year if the guidelines for coronary artery disease patients were implemented nationwide.
"The Health Center is dedicated to ensuring heart and stroke patients receive the best and most up-to-date care. Get With the Guidelines is helping us accomplish that goal by making it easier for our professionals to improve the quality of care and the long-term outcomes of our cardiac patients," said Sandra Fly, RN, director of Quality Services at UTHSCT and a certified professional in health care quality.
Gregg C. Fonarow, MD, volunteer chairman for the AHA program's steering committee, said, "Get With the Guidelines is about saving lives, so the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association wanted to recognize UTHSCT's contribution to quality care at Scientific Sessions 2006, the largest meeting of cardiac professionals in the United States. We are proud of UTHSCT's efforts to implement these lifesaving treatments and want to highlight UTHSCT's accomplishments."
The Health Center and the other hospitals will also be recognized in the December issue of the journal Circulation.

Quick hits on WWE Tough Enough
• After being one of the bottom three for the past two weeks on Tough Enough, Rima was finally eliminated from the competition on Monday night's episode. She was such an obvious choice to be sent home that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin didn't even bother selecting a bottom three; he just eliminated her outright. It was clearly the right call. In fact, Rima should have been given the boot sooner. Not only was she not picking up the basics in the ring – she couldn't even properly do a flat-back bump – but she also showed up 20 minutes late for a workout and was caught using padding underneath her ring gear to cushion the impact of hitting the ropes. I think the only reason she lasted as long as she did is because she's Miss USA and was bringing attention to the show.
• After eliminating Rima, Austin told her that he thinks she has a future in the business. I agree with him, but it's not because I saw even the slightest bit of potential in her. I believe WWE wants Rima to make it and will give her every opportunity to succeed.
• Martin (formerly known as "Donny Osmond") has been coming on strong and appears to be Luke's toughest competition. However, while Martin may rival Luke in conditioning and in-ring ability, when it comes to having a superstar look and charisma, Luke is far superior.
• Jeremiah is green but he has a quirky charisma and is a physical specimen, so while he probably won't win this competition, I could see him making it in WWE after he gains more experience.
• Only two women remain – Christina and Ivelisse. Christina (who is Alicia Fox's sister) is athletic and shows promise, but Ivelisse has not been impressive.
• Bret Hart's appearance was pretty underwhelming. The contestants seemed to be hanging on his every word, but he really didn't say much except for a few clichés about never giving up on their dreams.

Northern Ireland quality and outcomes framework (QOF) information 2011/12
The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety today published the achievement figures from the Northern Ireland Quality and Outcomes Framework 2011/12.
~ Wednesday, 5 December 2012
This is the eighth year of operation of the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), which is a system to remunerate general practices for providing good quality care to their patients, and to help fund work to further improve the quality of health care delivered. It is a fundamental part of the General Medical Services (GMS) Contract, which was introduced on 1 April 2004.
The QOF measures achievement against a range of evidence-based indicators, with points and payments awarded according to the level of achievement. The framework has four main components:
- Clinical Standards.
- Organisational Standards.
- Patient Experience.
- Additional Services.
Key Points

Red Hat Inc.
) is set to release its first quarter 2013 results after the
closing bell on June 20, 2012. In the run up to the earnings
results, we did not notice any substantial movement in analysts'
Prior Quarter Highlights
Red Hat reported a mixed fourth quarter, where the bottom line
missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate while the top line surpassed.
The strong year-over-year growth in the top line was driven by
higher demand for Red Hat technologies and efficient sales
execution in addition to upselling and cross selling of Red Hat
products and services.
For the first quarter of 2013, Red Hat expects revenues to be in
the range of $307.0 million to $311.0 million. Non-GAAP EPS is
projected to be in the range of 25 cents to 27 cents. Management
expects the non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of 24.0%
to 24.2%.
For further details please see:
Red Hat Reports Mixed 4Q
Estimation Revision Trend
Over the past 30 days, none of the 11 analysts covering the
stock revised their estimates for the quarter. Thus, the Zacks
Consensus Estimate for the first quarter was pinned at 19 cents per
Red Hat has matched or exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate in
the four preceding quarters. The average surprise in these quarters
is a positive 12.94%, and for the current quarter we expect the
company to beat the Zacks Consensus by the same magnitude.
Analysts expect Red Hat to exceed the consensus estimates on the
back of continued demand for servers. Moreover, strong demand for
RHEL 6 and JBoss is expected to drive the top line for the quarter.
Additionally, the company's offerings in the cloud computing
market, ongoing server virtualizations and traction in the
middleware section are expected to be incrementally beneficial in
the long run.
However, volatility in foreign currencies, especially the Euro,
and an unstable macro-economic environment are the potential
headwinds in the near term.
We believe that Red Hat is emerging as a significant player in
the cloud computing arena over the long term. Red Hat boasts an
impressive product line up and expects to invest heavily on the
development of innovative products. Its significant partnerships
with large public cloud customers such as Amazon Web Services
, International Business Machines Corp.
), NTT and Swisscom are also expected to boost its top-line growth
going forward.
While we believe this is the way to go considering the growth
prospects in the market and growing competition, we note that the
company needs to spend prudently, since its significant costs are
likely to put pressure on the bottom line.
At the same time, we don't expect competitive pressures to
alleviate given the deep pockets of rivals such as
Microsoft Corp.
VMware Inc.
) and
Oracle Corp.
We maintain our Neutral recommendation over the long term (6-12
months). Currently, Red Hat has a Zacks #4 Rank, which implies a
'Sell' rating in the short term.

I am riding a hybrid now, and do not know if there is much difference in this particular model and a traditional road bike. The S_ Sport runs around $750, and has many high end components, so they tell me. (Riding around 80-100 miles a week, mainly on the road.)

pleaded not guilty Wednesday to fatally stabbing an Oceanside teen in rival gang territory.
The victim, Javier Luna, was attacked about 1:45 p.m. on Jan. 29 on a Crown Heights street an hour after he got home from classes at Ocean Shores High School.
Vista Superior Court Judge Marshall Hockett set the bail at $2 million for the two adults, and he kept the amount the same for the three 17-year-olds.
"We do believe they are a danger to the community," said Deputy District Attorney Cal Logan, speaking of the 17-year-olds.
The two adult defendants are Francisco Barajas, 21, and Omar Garcia, 18. The 17-year-olds are Juan Zarita, Jose Zamora and Roberto Medina. Prosecutors charged the three boys as adults.
They are all charged with murder and a gang allegation. Zarita has an added charge of personal use of a knife. He faces a sentence of 26 years to life if convicted. The others face 25 years to life.
The two adults are being held in jail, while the 17-year-olds are in Juvenile Hall.
The knife attack on Javier occurred near Center Avenue and Division Street, on the backside of Oceanside High School. He died that night at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.
Oceanside police Capt. Ray Bechler has said that Javier's stabbing was motivated by one gang retaliating against a rival gang for graffiti and vandalism.
Police said the defendants are members of a gang associated with the Eastside neighborhood, not far from Crown Heights. The vandalism and graffiti occurred in Eastside.
Bechler said Javier was affiliated with the gang in his neighborhood, but the boy's family has said he was not a gang member.
The slaying was the fifth violent crime in the Crown Heights neighborhood since March. The other four incidents were shootings, with one fatal.
The fatal shooting victim was Anthony Carachurit-Perez, a 17-year-old friend of Javier's. The boys' mothers are also friends in the small, tight-knit neighborhood. A 16-year-old has been charged with murder in Anthony's death.
City officials filed a lawsuit last week against the manager and owner of a Crown Heights apartment complex, which officials said has been "a haven for rampant criminal activity and criminal gang activity." The city wants the property cleaned up, security cameras installed and security guards hired.

Jamestown youth plan mission trip
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
This upcoming summer youth from the Jamestown community will embark on yet another trip to serve those in Brighton, Tenn.
In order to go, these mission campers contribute their time to a major fundraiser every year. This year they held a "Singspiration" at St. Paul's Evangelical to receive free-will donations. The Singspiration was organized by Kathy Reimler who also recruited the performers for the evening. The youth performed "Prince of Peace", a group favorite they learned at last year's mission trip.
Following the performances the youth were able to serve a lasagna dinner with the help of donations from Advanced Chimney Techniques, C&R, Cal's, Burgher Haus, HyVee, Gerbes, Wal-Mart and Fazolis.
Appreciation is expressed to St. Paul's Evangelical, Moniteau Advent, Assembly of God, Grace United Methodist, New Hope Baptist and Jamestown Baptist and the community for attending and supporting this important fundraiser.

The GC Weekly newsletter was headed "A dim way to bury good news": referring to the way that Transformational Government - our progress in 2007 had been included in the slew of reports rushed out just before the start of the recess. That set me to wondering why the publication of an account of genuine success mixed with thoughful comment and "real" news should be delayed and then "leaked" rather than launched.
Yesterday I blogged on the government announcements that were "leaked" last week. Today an even more radical recommendation on how to help ensure successful transformation of the delivery of public services in the UK has a similarly low-key launch. The recommendation is for those who wish to have responsibility for delivery to work with and through the Select Committees of Parliament to provide continuity of input on "good practice": from policy formation, through pre-legislative scrutiny to performance monitoring

Depending on who you talk to, the government-brokered "memorandum of understanding" between the record and film industries and six leading ISPs, (under which the latter will write to those whose systems are supposedly used to exchange "illegally copied" material), is "a long overdue outbreak of common sense" or "the thin end of the wedge". Either way, the economic, not just legal, importance of the BERR consultation is profound.

Despite the "Walmart effect" of consumers going on-line for bargains as the recession deepens, Google saw a fall in the number of US users "clicking through" to advertisments in Quarter 2, compared to Quarter 1. This was said to be an effect of economic gloom but I suspect it is more a sign that users are becoming reluctant to click on what they do not know and are migrating from browsing to social networking.

Macroeconomic goals
We have introduced the idea of an economy working "well" or "badly," and have referred to high unemployment, persistent high inflation, and destruction of the natural environment as bad things that virtually no one wants. "Bad" and "good" are value-laden terms: Do they belong in an economic textbook?
Social scientists often make a distinction between positive questions, which concern issues of fact, or "what is," and normative questions, which have to do with goals and values, or "what should be." For example, "What is the level of production in our country?" is a positive question, requiring descriptive facts as an answer. "What level of production would be most desirable?" is a normative question, requiring analysis of what it is we value and what goals should be set. However, both of these questions require a definition of production; positive and normative issues are inevitably intertwined in efforts to reach such a definition.
Using both empirical evidence and various theories, we will describe—using the best available economic research—how an economy functions at the macro level. Yet, while perhaps a few people enjoy studying economic principles for their own sake, the main reason anyone would study macroeconomics is to try to understand how we—as a society, nation, and world—can reach the goals we desire. Thus we cannot avoid the normative question of what goals the macroeconomy should achieve.
Not everyone has the same goals, on a personal level, or in their idea of a "good" society. However, agreement becomes easier at a more general level. Therefore, we will start with the term well-being as a way of referring to the broad goal of promoting the sustenance and flourishing of life.
In the context of macroeconomics, we can say that three especially important components of well-being are: good living standards; stability and security; and sustainability.
Living Standards
One macroeconomic goal is to get and keep people's living standards high enough that their lives can be long, healthy, enjoyable, and offer them the opportunity to accomplish the things they believe give their lives meaning.
The most basic living standard issues relate to the quality of people's diets and housing, their access to means of transportation and communication, and the quality of medical attention they receive. Taking a somewhat broader view, we might also include less tangible aspects of life such as the quality of education people receive and the variety of entertainments they can enjoy. In addition, the way in which people participate in producing goods and services—as well as their consumption of them—has important implications for their health and happiness. So, for working-age people, the quality of their working lives is part of their standard of living. On the other hand, for many people who cannot do much work because they are too young, old, ill or handicapped, the quality of the hands-on care they receive is a major component of living standards. We could add even more categories to broaden our notion of well-being, going beyond economic issues to include things like political freedom and social inclusion. Economics has traditionally, however, taken the goods-and-services or provisioning aspect of life as its central focus, and living standards growth has been a top concern.
How can living standards be maintained or improved? For a long time, "raising living standards" was considered to be nearly synonymous with "achieving economic growth." By economic growth we mean growth in the level of production or output. Traditionally, this has been measured within a country by the growth of its gross domestic product (GDP).
Global economic growth has been impressive in recent decades. Figure 1 plots the sum of GDP for all countries from 1960 to 2003. The data from which this chart has been plotted is far from perfect – different countries have at different times used a variety of methods (some approaching guess-work) to calculate their GDP. The conceptual definition of GDP is also controversial. Nevertheless, we can view as a reasonable approximation the conclusion from this picture: that global production has increased greatly over the last few decades. By this measure, the value of global production in 2003 was about 4.6 times the value in 1960.
But the growth in economic production has not been equal in all countries, and living standards are still very low in much of the world. This fact has important meaning for people's enjoyments and options in life. Poverty in the modern world can mean that people crowded together in unsanitary urban slums or isolated in rural huts, have barely enough to eat, no education, and never see a doctor. Worldwide, extreme poverty is still a major concern. The United Nations estimates that about 1.2 billion people—or about 20% of the world's population—live in absolute poverty, subsisting on the equivalent of U.S. $1 per day or less. The production of more and better housing, better roads, more grain, more schooling, and more medical care—more goods and services—is necessary to raise living standards in such situations.
It is because of such an underlying concern with living standards that for many decades economists focused very strongly on measures of economic growth, and the question of how it could be maintained and even speeded up. The process of moving from a general situation of poverty and deprivation towards one of increased production and plenty is what has traditionally been referred to as economic development. Generally, the process of economic development has been thought of as a process of increasing agricultural productivity, investing in machinery and technology, and making changes in the organization of work (from home-based shops to factories, for example), so that labor productivity rises. That is, people can produce more in each hour that they work.
Of course, while increased production is necessary in such a situation, it is not sufficient on its own to improve living standards for the people living in a poor country. For one thing, the increase in production may not be enough to keep pace with a growing population. Improvement in general living standards can only result if production per person (GDP per capita) on average rises. Some of the increase in global production shown in Figure 1 is simply a result of more people producing goods and services. When we adjust for the growth in the world's population, we see that production per capita, as measured by dividing global production by global population, has also grown over the last several decades, but not by as much. Figure 2 shows that global production per capita has increased by about a factor of 2.2 between 1960 and 2003, according to this measure.
If we were to disaggregate from the global figures we would see that changes in economic production over these years vary significantly across different regions and countries. In East Asian countries, GDP per capita has increased by over seven times between 1960 and 2003. In Sub-Saharan Africa, however, GDP per capita is actually lower now than it was in the 1970s.
Even if GDP per capita is rising, other factors are still important in ensuring that economic growth benefits the world's and each country's population as a whole:
- First, it matters what is produced. An economy may experience "economic growth" by increasing its production of military hardware or large public monuments, for example, but these kinds of production are much less likely to raise living standards than growth in production of nutritious food, widely available health care, or the quality of basic education.
- Second, it matters how it is produced. In some poorer countries today, many workers—including young children—work 14 to 16 hour days in unsafe, badly ventilated mines and factories; many suffered severe illnesses and early death.
- Third, it matters for whom economic growth occurs. How are the increases in production, or incomes arising from production, distributed among the population? Do some regions, or some groups of people as defined by income class, race, ethnicity, gender, or other factors, receive more of the gains from growth than others? If the benefits of economic growth only go to a tiny global or national elite, the bulk of the population may remain desperately poor.
Sometimes these queries about "what, how, and for whom?" are referred to as the "three basic economic questions." Even given these qualifications raised by these questions, you can still see that some economic growth is necessary in regions that are very poor.
In richer regions, the situation may be different. In a country that is already rich, is economic growth still the key to improving living standards and increasing overall well-being? In most highly industrialized countries, populations are growing very slowly—or even declining. When the population isn't growing, and when the majority of families already enjoy decent housing, safe water, plenty of food, easily washed and dried clothing, readily available heating and refrigeration, a car or two (or more), airline travel, TV sets, DVD players and the like, do we really need more in general? Some people would say that we do, but others believe that we should instead switch our national priorities into making sure that production is designed to increase well-being. In countries that already have a high level of production, living standards growth may be achievable even in the absence of economic growth, by improving cultural, educational, and environmental conditions, raising the quality of work-life, and promoting an equitable allocation of the economic rewards of production among workers, non-workers, managers, and owners. Another possible shift in priorities would be to put less emphasis on economic growth, and more emphasis on other elements of well-being, such as long-term environmental and social sustainability.
Stability and Security
While closely linked to living standards goals, the goal of stability and security brings in a time dimension that we have not yet discussed.
Imagine that you are an old person, and looking back over your life you can say that on average, you enjoyed a good standard of living. This might arise from two quite different scenarios. In one scenario, you enjoyed a fairly steady, or gently rising, living standard and were always able to plan confidently for your financial future. In the other scenario, you were quite successful at some points in your life, but also had to periodically face the real possibility of "losing it all." You did well and bought a house, but then you became unemployed and had to face the fear that your house would be foreclosed on because you wouldn't be able to make the payments. You did well and believed you were on a solid path to a pleasant retirement, and then high inflation or a jumpy stock market wiped out the value of your savings and pensions, and you had to start over. Even if, after the fact and "over the long run," you can say that on average you did OK in terms of your living standards, the uncertainty and anxiety of living with economic fluctuations in the second scenario would have taken a toll on your overall well-being, relative to the more stable case.
High rates of unemployment are associated with many indicators of individual and social stress, such as suicide, domestic violence, stress-related illnesses, and crime. Unpredictable fluctuations in rates of inflation, interest rates and foreign exchange rates make it difficult—and in the worst cases, impossible—for individuals and organizations to make productive and economically sensible plans for the future.
One common pattern is for fluctuations in the level of production to occur as a cycle in which recessions (or "contractions" or "slumps") and their attendant problem of high unemployment alternate with booms (also called "expansions" or "recoveries") which often bring with them the problem of more rapidly rising prices. This is called the business cycle or trade cycle. Even if these problems are "short-run" and do not last long—people eventually find jobs or inflation slows down—fluctuations cause considerable "ill-being" while they last. So creating a stable, secure economic environment is a separate important macroeconomic goal.
Figure 3 shows GDP for the United States going back all the way to 1800. You can see that while the general trend is upwards, the curve on the graph does not indicate steady growth. The curve is somewhat wavy. There are periods in which GDP fell as the country experienced economic contractions, and other periods of rapid expansion during which GDP rose very steeply.
A widely accepted macroeconomic goal is the achievement of sufficient economic stability to enable individuals and families to enjoy economic security and to be able to make reasonable predictions about their future. In the light of new knowledge about our dependence on the natural world, which is undergoing radical alterations due to human economic activity, the goal of security now must also include a much longer time horizon, recognizing a serious responsibility to future generations. This leads us to our third goal: sustainability.
We want good living standards and stability not only for ourselves right now, but also for ourselves later in our lives, and for our children, grandchildren, and other generations to come. That is, we would like a macroeconomic environment that is not only good now, but sustainable into the future. In particular, the goal of sustainability requires that we address the questions:
- Are economic activities financially sustainable into the future? Or is a nation incurring a high amount of debt that may create a heavy burden on a country's future workers?
- Are economic activities socially sustainable into the future? Are disparities between the "haves" and the "have nots" diminishing or based on justifiable causes? Is the next generation receiving the upbringing and education required to enable them to contribute to a healthy economy and society? Or is the current structure of economic activity setting the stage for future social disruption and political strife?
- Are economic activities ecologically sustainable into the future? Is the natural environment that supports life being treated in a way that will sustain its quality into the future? Or is it becoming depleted or degraded?
Financial, social and ecological sustainability are important macroeconomic goals.
For many generations, it seemed that technological progress and economic growth were magical keys that unlocked the door to unlimited improvements in the standard of living. In 1970, for example, real output per person in the United States was about ten times what it had been in 1840. "Developed" countries in North America, Western Europe, and elsewhere experienced long-run rising standards of living through industrialization, improvements in agricultural technology, and the development of service industries.
Some observers believe that this process can continue forever, and that any sustainability problems can be remedied by more GDP growth. For example, the issue of financial sustainability includes both concerns about the levels of government debt (which accumulates whenever governments spend more than they take in) and national debt (what all people and organizations in a country owe to foreigners). Too much debt is a problem since it means that a large proportion of a country's income may in the future need to go to into servicing the debt rather than into other, more socially beneficial, uses. Indebtedness, however, is usually considered manageable as long as GDP grows at least as fast as the level of debt. Regarding social sustainability, some people believe that economic growth is also the way to relieve social ills and political strife. They reason that the bigger the pie, the bigger everyone's share can be, and that rising personal incomes will naturally lead to a peaceful and productive population. Concerning ecological issues, some economists think that any current negative effects of economic growth on the environment can be remedied by additional economic growth, since higher incomes give countries the wherewithal to invest in new exploration for resources and new pollution-controlling technologies. So, to the most growth-oriented economists, "sustainable growth" simply means making sure that the growth rate of GDP stays high well into the future.
As against those who continue to believe that economic growth and development, as traditionally defined, hold out the best answers to financial, social, and environmental problems, by the end of the 20th century many other economists have started asking whether these might instead contribute to these problems.
To the extent that a country's economic prosperity depends on short-sighted or unrealistic financial planning, prosperity may be unsustainable. For decades, for example, many poorer countries were encouraged to borrow heavily from richer countries in order to progress in economic development. However, many of them did not achieve the high rate of economic growth that was supposed to result from the borrowing, and a severe "debt crisis" has resulted. Some very poor countries currently send more funds out of their countries simply to pay the interest on their debt than they pay for health care for their own populations; many also pay more in interest than they currently receive in grants and loans.
Meanwhile, in some industrialized countries including the U.S., governments have recently cut taxes in order to "spur economic growth." But this means that governments instead borrow heavily to fund their activities. Many fear that such borrowing may already have become so excessive that dramatically higher taxes will be required in the future in order to pay interest on the debt. Those called on to pay these higher taxes—and hence suffer lower living standards—would be future workers like you. Setting good priorities about how we borrow is important to long-run sustainability.
Turning to social sustainability, many economists and other observers have come to question whether "development" as traditionally defined will solve the problem of global disparities in living standards. Some economists suggest that historical factors such as the legacy of colonization, and political factors such as rich country protection of their own industries within the system of global trade, mean that it is impossible to expect poorer countries to "develop" in the same way as countries that industrialized earlier. Analysts have also estimated that giving everyone in the world a U.S. life-style, including a meat-rich diet, multiple cars per family, etc., would require an extra two to four planets to supply resources and absorb waste.
Traditional goals of unlimited material affluence have also been called into question within richer countries, to the extent that social scientists have noticed that consumerist and more-is-better values may actually contribute to personal and social discontent and the weakening of social norms of trust and reciprocity. Societies that suffer bitter divisions between "haves" and "have nots," or a general sense that everybody is just out for themselves, are more likely to suffer social and political breakdown—perhaps to the point of violence—than societies where people enjoy a greater sense of social cohesion.
Regarding environmental issues, increased urban concentration and certain agricultural practices have caused extinction of some species and notable decreases in genetic diversity in others. Contemporary "developed" economies are presently heavily dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. Yet these fuels are not in unlimited supply, and high-level scientific panels concur their burning contributes to global climate change.
Because of these and other problems, ecologists emphasize the complexity of natural systems and our relative ignorance about long-term, irreversible, or potentially catastrophic effects of economic behavior on the natural systems that support us. They suggest that, instead of placing blind faith in technological progress and economic growth, society should adopt a precautionary principle. This principle says that we should err on the cautious side, preferring to cooperate with natural systems rather than assuming we can safely replace them. Or, as stated by one group of experts, "When an activity raises threats of harm to the environment or human health, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically." Such attention to environmental sustainability need not preclude also giving attention to the goals of living standards improvement and stability, but it does clearly call into question the idea that economic growth, in itself, is always the only, or the best goal.
Traditionally, many economists did not recognize a separate goal of sustainability, since they believed that achieving economic growth would naturally contribute to the achievement of any other goals that we might choose. We also present the view that suggests that environmental, social, and financial sustainability need to be considered as goals in their own right, perhaps requiring a dramatic shift in how we think about economic growth.

Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep) breaks through class and gender barriers to become the United Kingdom's first female prime minister.
Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
" You have to be very talented to work with Meryl Streep. It also helps to know how to use her. "The Iron Lady" fails in both of these categories. "
" Everything Streep does here is a seismic act of theater. If she so much as tilts her head, the earth tilts with it. She doesn't simply overwhelm this thin historic biography - and the other actors around her - she detonates it. "
" Certainly, it's worth seeing and arguing over, but my personal take on Thatcher remains unchanged, Streep's virtuoso ministrations notwithstanding. "
" Streep's performance is so true and so uncannily accurate, so full and so complete in its understanding, that she is fascinating every second she is onscreen. "
" Streep gets under the skin of one of the 20th century's most dynamic and also most contained personalities. "
" "
" Streep and Broadbent are entirely watchable, and Thatcher's story, even in its vague and watered-down state, is inherently interesting. "
" Streep, no fan of Thatcher, nicely undercuts the poignancy of her current condition with flashbacks that reveal her brittle arrogance in office. "
" Maudlin and ham-fisted, The Iron Lady is cinematic scrap metal. "
" Even if you have little interest in Thatcher or why she mattered, you'll likely respond to the contradictory yet charismatic character that Streep has conjured from truth and myth. "
" Yes, Streep is wondrous as usual, but her superpowers have been squandered here. "
" The Iron Lady is a performance in search of a film. "
" While the rest of "The Iron Lady" fades quickly in memory, Meryl Streep's performance in the title role remains startlingly present. "
" Often "The Iron Lady" relies on montages to get to - and plow through - historic high points. "
" [Streep's] performance overpowers the movie it's in - a perfectly executed triple axel that renders everything else just featureless ice. "
" Yes, it's a strangely de-politicized portrait of Britain's first female prime minister. But what's there is actually enough. "
" Streep is Oscar-worthy here, as she almost always is, which is hardly a surprise, and the historic subject matter is fascinating whichever way your politics may lean. "
" A stylized biography of one of the most powerful women in politics, portrayed by the greatest actress of our time, that asks more questions than it answers. "
" The portrait that Streep delivers in Phyllida Lloyd's impressionistic biopic is astonishing. "
" It isn't Streep's fault that The Iron Lady ends up feeling so uninvolving and oddly dour. "

Since 1995, ERS has monitored the food security of U.S. households through an annual, nationally representative survey. While most U.S. households are food secure, a minority of U.S. households experience food insecurity at times during the year, meaning that their access to adequate food for active, healthy living is limited by lack of money and other resources. Some experience very low food security, a more severe range of food insecurity where food intake of one or more members is reduced and normal eating patterns are disrupted. Reliable monitoring of food security contributes to the effective operation of USDA's 15 food and nutrition assistance programs aimed at reducing food insecurity. Over 70 percent of USDA's total 2014 outlays went to these programs, which provided assistance to about 1 in 4 Americans in fiscal 2014.
