The Fed's 100th Year Birthday [1]
Bernanke says: The yield on Fed assets in excess of their funding costs may fall in coming years [reducing profits[2]], but should not fall below zero.
Brynjolfsson says: This is insanely hopeful and extremely irresponsible.
By John Brynjolfsson[3]
A Chinese proverb, which could certainly be applied to the examination of monetary policy, advises: "if you want to know what the water is like, don't ask the fish."
I take this advice to heart, as it fit my approach to life—step back and look at the big picture from outside a system to gain an understanding of how it works. Not only is this more gratifying intellectually, I'd suggest it provides better insights into understanding how things may evolve given new circumstances, and allows one to be more attuned to what kinds of black swans might arise.
With this as a starting point, I look to illuminate the current state of affairs in interest rates, inflation and bond yields.
Central banking has long been well understood. Paper money, it is said, was invented in China, and dates back to the 10th Century. The oldest central bank, the central bank of Sweden, dates back 345 years to 1668. The Bank of England dates back to 1694, predating Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and the US Declaration of Independence by about a century. In the following centuries, as the globe industrialized and economies transformed, modern central banking was introduced onto the landscape in 1913 when the Federal Reserve System, known colloquially as "the Fed" was created by the US Congress. It was a few months later, in early 2014, that its operations actually began.
Its creation was a reaction to the boom-and-bust cycle associated with the bubbles created by unbridled private credit creation and the panics that inevitably followed. The youngest of the major modern central banks, the ECB, was created by the Maastricht Treaty, and is a mere adolescent at 15 years old. Other major central banks are the Bank of Japan, the Peoples Bank of China and the Swiss National Bank. Coming back to the Fed, it is currently 99 years old, and on December 23, 2013 we can celebrate its 100th birthday!
In 2013 the concept of central banking will face its greatest test, starting with the Fed.
Fiat Money
Modern fractional reserve central banking seems to be a great improvement to the prior fragmented US regime. Though the Great Depression of the 1930s forced some tinkering with this system, in particular introduction of the FDIC to federally guarantee deposits and Keynesian prescriptions to address chronic unemployment, the system has worked exceedingly well.
So central banking had evolved from being on the gold standard in prior centuries, to fragmented fractional reserve banking, to fully fiat money central banking (when the gold standard was officially abandoned in 1971.)
There is nothing conceptually wrong with fiat money. Paul Volcker demonstrated in 1979 and the years following that adept maneuvering and resolve by a strong Fed Chair could make fiat money as good as, or better than, gold. Under Alan Greenspan and Bernanke, the Fed formalized the intuitive discipline of Volcker's policies by elevating analytic methods of inflation targeting to the forefront [4]. In effect, inflation targeting replaces the single commodity--gold--with a basket of commodities and other traded and consumption goods. The CPI, or more specifically CPI plus 2 percent per annum, becomes the numeraire. Bernanke's academic works suggest that the Fed's "dual mandate" to manage both inflation and unemployment can be optimized through inflation targeting. Countless papers on macroeconomics, modern monetary theory, and central banking, establish this as the current economic state-of-the-art, political realities and implementation challenges aside.
Conspiracy theories abound. The bureaucratic structure of the Fed is complex. It is simultaneously "independent" but "within the government."[5] Ownership of the operating arms is conceptually vested in member banks of the Federal Reserve System[6], but the President of United States, and US Congress, respectively appointing Chair of the Board of Governors and legislate the laws governing the Fed. Even though the CPI is calculated by the BLS rather than the Fed, the Fed more so than even the BLS, draws criticism for CPI calculation methodology, and modifications to it. The CPI is being attacked by those who think it is too subjective and those who think it is too mechanical.
Ultimately, like all major US institutions, the Fed is run under an implicit license of the US government, the body politic or ultimately, therefore, the country's populace. Like all successful democratic bureaucracies, its endurance is assured by the web of interactions between its rules, regulations, practices, personnel, and appointments with the outside world that govern its daily operations and longer term policies.
For 99 years, this generally has worked well. Though inflation has fluctuated and crises involving gold (in 1933 and 1971), the misery index (combination of high unemployment and high inflation in the 1970s), and occasional major bank failures have come and gone, the Fed has endured.[7] Most recently, the Fed has received high marks for doing "whatever it takes" to put a floor beneath the US economy after the bubbles in housing, banking, finance and employment imploded in 2008.
Guardian Angel
By construction a central bank's success is generally assured. In particular, in even though the US Congress legislates aspects of the Fed's operations, the Fed is profitable enough to both cover its administrative costs, as well as generate substantial profits, almost all of which is remitted to the US Treasury. This is ostensibly subject to GAO oversight.
This profitability arises by virtue of the Fed having a monopoly position as issuer of currency. Do note that "profit" is quite different than printing money. Though many suggest that the Fed can print money (and it can), printing money merely creates Fed Balance sheet: an asset and a liability of exactly equal size. The profit comes from the difference in earning rates on assets and liabilities, less operating costs. Virtually all of the Fed's capital therefore comes from the fraction of profits it has retained starting in 1914. This currently amounts to cumulatively $55 billion, no more, no less[8].
While demand for money, US Dollars, may seem instinctual, scholars suggest demand for officially issued money is conceptually cemented by the IRS's authority to collect taxes. It is this demand for money that creates a positive spread between the special liabilities the Fed issues, and the generic assets the Fed owns, hence its profit.
To the extent that the Fed's zero interest (currency in circulation) or low interest (reserves) liability is backed by higher yielding, default-free, interest-bearing assets, a profit is assured. These assets typically consist of US Treasury debt, agency securities, bankers' acceptances, and a small amount of gold and foreign securities.
So the Fed operates a natural and legislated monopoly, and not surprisingly has been profitable every year since 1913. The profitability of the Fed, or the spread between assets and liabilities, is further assured by the perceived unlimited liquidity of the Fed. This gives it the ability to extend the duration of its assets, knowing that it can buy time during short-term panics, and somewhat appropriately use cost-based (rather than mark to market) accounting. When others are forced to sell assets, at distressed prices, the Fed can issue liabilities, and buy assets, to temporarily stem the distress. Ultimately this allows the Fed to run a modest maturity mismatch. Historically, even during times of distress, these assets have been short term in nature consisting of mostly money market instruments and Treasuries with maturities of less than 5 years. Recently, of course, this has changed dramatically.
In times of budget scrutiny (as if that is not always the case in a democracy) these profits serve as the central bank's guardian angel, somewhat shielding it from needing to bargain for annually legislated budget authority, and currying it favor, with various constituencies.
Central banks often come under scrutiny. During the 1970s most notably, the Fed was often blamed for the decade-long malaise, though fundamentally the malaise was as much an outgrowth of the "guns and butter" policies of LBJ, the abandonment of the gold standard by Nixon, and vacillations of Carter, as well as a host of festering structural and economic problems. More recently Congress has simultaneously had some faction berating the Fed for not doing enough of about unemployment, while others have been berating it for being too activist and accommodating.
Concurrently the Congress also decries the Fed for communicating a complicated, technical message regarding their motivation and practices, while somehow contemporaneously not providing enough transparency into their thinking and accounting. Lastly, different camps, even within the Fed, vary as to whether the Fed is too rule-based, locking itself into pre-announced policy trajectories, or not rule-based enough and too discretionary. But these challenges are perennial, and are as commonplace as the gold-bug's call for a return to the 19th century gold standard.
The Mechanics of Central Bank Profits
Bernanke says the yield on Fed assets in excess of their costs may fall in coming years [reducing profits], but should not fall below zero. This is insanely hopeful and extremely irresponsible.
In particular, the Fed is working off an extremely thin capital base of $55 billion. Its assets consist of $3 trillion of mostly long-term treasuries. This means the Fed is operating on a leverage ratio of 54.54 times, ignoring any off-balance sheet obligations. The use of staff "base case" trajectories for interest rates and yields as the basis for this type of risk analysis on a highly levered portfolio is deeply flawed.
Fed assets yield an average of 2 ½ percent, while the 10-year TIPS inflation break evens are 2.52% and the 30-Year TIPS inflation break evens are 2.54% suggesting that the market is pricing in an average inflation over a long term time horizon of 2.53%. So Bernanke's projections of profitability implicitly, therefore, assume a negative real cost of funding the Fed for the next 10 to 30 years.
Taking realized inflation equal over the next decades as a given, equal to the 2.52% priced in by the market, if one were to assume a near zero (-0.02% to be exact) real Fed Funds rate amounting to 2.50% nominally, the Fed would earn a profit equal to the negative real interest rates received by holders of less than $1 trillion of currency in circulation, or about $25.2 billion a year. This is less than 1/3 of the estimated $90 billion remitted to Treasury in 2012. (This $65 billion decline would of course need to be made up by Congress, as reduce revenues for the US Government would exacerbate current budget woes.)
If one were to add the to the funding cost the typical 2% real Fed Funds rate (the average over the past 50 years and the rate suggested by the Taylor rule needed to target inflation in a well-functioning economy) to this inflation rate as a forecast of the average nominal Fed Funds rate over this horizon, the earnings spread on the Treasury Balance sheet, ignoring any operating costs, would amount to -2.02% per annum on more than $2 trillion of assets, not backing currency in circulation. This would result in loss of more than $15 billion per annum for the next 20 years, and a present value of $300 billion dollars or worse. This would wipe out the Fed's current total capital of $55 billion five times over. This is reminiscent of the unsophisticated homeowner who financed long term housing assets, with ARMs, during 2004-2007, and of similar magnitude to the Freddie and Fannie debacle.
Though the above is based on cost accounting, market effects, could make the outcome much worse, and happen much faster.
Fed accountants, according to recently announced changes, would not report this as negative capital. Instead they would create an asset, unheard of outside Fed accounting circles, which I'll paraphrase as "anticipated future earnings not remitted to the Treasury." The negative optics of this negative present value would of course be exacerbated if the Fed were to fight inflation by shrinking its balance sheet.
Of course, things may play out much worse than a base case scenario. Since all these inflation rates, and interest rates pivot off demand for dollars, a fall in demand for dollars, or Fed attempts to fight inflation by tightening interest rates, could dramatically increase the cost of funding the Fed assets. In addition, attempts to sell Fed assets (to stem a decline in the exchange value of the dollar) could cause yields to spike, exacerbating optics of the negative capital position of the Fed balance sheet, due to its effect on long term bonds held as Fed assets, cost of Fed liabilities funding those assets, and the increase in the ratio of capital to assets as the denominator shrinks.
Adding to the fragility of the system are the US government budget woes.
Though the US Treasury is trying to extend the maturity of its financing arrangements towards 84 months, currently half of the US Treasury debt held by the public is scheduled to mature in 36 months and will need to be rolled over. Should international investors, including those with natural resources and low labor costs at home begin to eschew the US dollar, perhaps in favor of hard assets, precious metals, or income producing assets in resource rich emerging nations, a fall in the dollar (and the currencies of other developed world nations) would tend to drive up commodity prices, natural resource prices, and inflation more generally, exacerbating the Fed's insolvency.
Rather than looking at Treasury outstanding debt in isolation, and the Fed in isolation, the problem gets worse when considered together. One can consolidate the balance sheet of the Fed and the US Treasury. In this case the governments obligations to the public consist of Treasuries held by the public, currency in circulation, and bank reserves deposited at the Fed. Looked at this way, the government has been borrowing very short. The Fed has taken many long bonds off the market, leaving the Treasury with the risk of rolling over the publically held debt every few years.
Global Central Banks
Other central banks may be in as bad or worse conditions than the Fed. Looking just at the size of the assets (figure below), we can see they have all been rapidly expanding since the onset of the financial crisis in 2008. In the case of the Fed, assets have grown by well over 350%, from 800 billion dollars to now 3 trillion dollars. Given current trajectory, 4 trillion dollars is within the current forecast horizon of 12 months.

The ECB maintains huge exposure to periphery Europe. Absent military excursions by the ECB (which does not have a standing army), European monetary policy is essentially at the whim of local populations. Populations in the core—primarily Germany--are tired of funding the periphery; and local populations in the periphery are tired of externally imposed austerity. Recall, as my childhood congressman Tip O'Neal quipped, "All politics is local."
The most explicit manifestation of this ECB imbalance is Target2 liabilities, in the range of 700 billion euros ($1 trillion). These are liabilities of the ECB, which reside as an asset on the Bundesbank (the national central bank of Germany) balance sheet. In turn the Bundesbank uses these to back deposits in the German banking system. This asset is essentially a pool of unsecured loans on periphery real estate of questionable ultimate value channeled through a chain consisting of periphery local banks, periphery national central banks, the ECB, the Bundesbank and ultimately those holding euro deposits in German banks.
With the UK being downgraded, the flexibility of the Bank of England is limited. Though it has been 20 years since the Pound was challenged, all readers are familiar with the current inherent conflict between austerity and growth that the UK and developed countries face. The UK is now once again facing a dilemma, both a recession and inflationary pressures. Where is Alexander the Great when we need him?
The Bank of Japan, by virtue of its December election of a new government, recently embarked upon installation of a new central banking regime, which has a mandate to reflate. This goes along with raising the targeted inflation rate from 1% to 2%, and thereby realize inflation rate from its flat-line two-decade average of just more than 0%, to something higher. It will presumably do this through expanding and extending its asset purchase program from already high levels. The dramatic inflation in import and raw material prices is already creating a backlash against this policy by both consumers who are seeing their budgets squeezed, and domestically focused companies, who are seeing their margins squeezed. (Japanese companies that export and their employees, of course, are the main beneficiary of this policy.)
Lastly China's PBOC and the Swiss National Bank (SNB) are also the focus of international investors. In the former case, questions regarding extreme levels of leverage at the provincial level, and within the real estate sector are balanced against stronger fundamentals at the national balance sheet level, including the nation's vast economic resources (primarily a huge, low-cost, highly skilled and growing labor force). In the case of the SNB, recent efforts to reflate the Swiss Franc, by putting a floor on the EURCHF exchange rate at 1.20 has resulted in the thin capital base of the SNB being levered to extreme levels by the purchase of euro denominated Bunds, and other international assets, which fluctuate wildly in price.
These are the "the known knowns." I have to ask why Bernanke doesn't tell the public and Congress that these challenges lie ahead. But if one is going take Donald Rumsfeld's advice to heart, "there are also unknown unknowns," which every trader knows are the most perilous. Because of these, it never makes sense to manage something as big as the monetary system of the globe so close the edge. Keep some dry gunpowder available to deal with truly catastrophic situations, don't use it during non-crisis periods.
Going forward, I am hopeful and confident. We have made much headway since 2008, taking a complete meltdown of the global economic system off the table. In recent weeks, gold has traded down (meaning the dollar and most currencies have traded up relative to gold) reflecting reduced tail risk. Tail risk has two sides—deflationary and inflationary. Gold's recent weak price action suggest to me that the risk of a deflationary financial Armageddon (in which gold would likely be highly sought after), and the risk of double-digit inflation or more extreme hyperinflation (in which gold would also be highly sought after) have lessened.
Though Bernanke and the Fed dismiss the challenges of an exit strategy, we know they are not entirely ignorant that there will be some costs and challenges. And given more recent communications, markets seem to be aware that there is some, finite, limit to the extent of QE3, even if unemployment and inflation metrics don't indicate it needs to end. Likewise, in Washington both sides acknowledge there is some limit the amount of debt the Treasury can issue. The debate between budget balance and stimulus, is therefore vibrant and active, with neither side advocating either nominal cuts in spending, nor real growth in spending.

This is my first set of ITP tires, and I have to say that I do like them. The handling and grip was noticed to be a lot better.
Overall |
awsome handling very durable!! this tire is good for both track and trail it bites well in the corners and can withstand sharp rocks on the trail havent tried them out in loose sand yet but im pretty sure they will do well there too these tires along with a set of back tires really reduces the bounce u get from stock tires when u land a jump i would recommend these to both the serious rider and leisure rider
Overall |
Definitely better than stock tires. when you turn the handle bars the bike actually turns...Great Traction.
Overall |
I went with the XCRs up front because of thier six ply rating to match my H-D rears(thought the H-D fronts looked a little too smooth). Awesome combo!! The XCRs really hold the trail well and after a good twenty hours of hard riding show absolutely no wear and with the six ply rating give good peace of mind on those far away from home rides.
Overall |
A HUGE improvment over stock tires, very puncture resistant. (no flats in 30 hrs., all in very rocky conditions) greatly improved braking, and cornering highly recommend this tire for trail riding.

LabelDegas depicted young ballet dancers--in performances, at rehearsals, or at moments of exhausted rest--in numerous paintings, drawings, pastels, and monotypes. In 1878, he added sculpture to his investigation of the theme. A young dancer named Marie van Goethem posed for what would be the only sculpture that Degas exhibited in his lifetime. Originally executed in wax and shown in 1881, the work daringly incorporated real elements such as the dancer's tulle tutu and silk hair ribbon. The sculpture was cast in bronze around 1922, several years after Degas's death.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.

Fibroids are benign (noncancerous) growths in the wall of the uterus. The uterus is the organ where a fetus grows during pregnancy.
Fibroids are common. They may be very small or they could grow to eight or more inches in diameter. Most fibroids remain inside the uterus. In rare cases, they may stick out and affect nearby organs. It is common for there to be more than one fibroid.
The cause of fibroids is unknown.
Fibroid growth is stimulated by female reproductive hormones. As a result:
- Fibroids grow larger during pregnancy then shrink after childbirth.
- Fibroids become less of a problem after menopause . However, symptoms may return with hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Genetics may make some women more prone to fibroids. Substances that control blood vessel growth may also affect fibroid growth.
Risk Factors
Certain factors affect your risk of fibroids, for example:
- Risk increase with age until menopause
- African American women have increased risk of fibroids
- Family history
Obesity and high blood pressure may also be linked to fibroids.
Symptoms range from none at all to mild or severe. This depends on the size and location of the growths.
Symptoms may include:
- Pelvic pain
- Feeling of pelvic pressure
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Clots in menstrual flow
- Long periods
- Bleeding between periods
- Increased cramping during periods
- Pain during sex
- Frequent need to urinate
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Enlarged uterus (giving the appearance of pregnancy)
- Low back or leg pain
- Infertility by blocking the fallopian tubes
- Miscarriage
Iron-deficiency anemia may develop if bleeding is heavy. This is low levels of red blood cells. It will affect the amount of oxygen your blood can carry.
Doctors find most fibroids during routine pelvic exams.
To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may want to get a detailed picture of the fibroid. This may be taken with one or more of the following tests:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Transvaginal ultrasound
- Computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Hysteroscopy
Most women with fibroids have no symptoms and do not need treatment. Your doctor may recommend "watchful waiting". During this period your doctor will monitor any changes on a regular basis. Treatment may be done later if needed.
Treatments include:
Pain Medication
Your doctor may recommend:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers to ease mild symptoms
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation and relieve cramping
- Prescription pain medicine—If pain cannot be managed with medications above
Hormonal Therapy
Hormone medicines may be an option if you are not trying to become pregnant. These drugs can shrink fibroids and lessen pain. However, fibroids can return once you stop taking the drugs. These drugs may be used to make fibroids smaller just before surgery.
Surgery may be considered if:
- The uterus becomes extremely large
- The fibroids are interfering with fertility
- Symptoms are severe
Surgical procedures include:
- Myomectomy —An incision is made in the abdomen. The fibroids are removed from the uterus.
- Hysterectomy —The entire uterus is removed. You will be unable to have children if you have this surgery.
Other options include:
Other options include:
- Uterine fibroid ablation—This is a minimally invasive procedure. It blocks blood flow to the fibroids. This will make the fibroids shrink.
- Focused ultrasound therapy—Energy is centered on the fibroid to destroy it. This procedure may not be ideal for patients who are very overweight, have very large fibroids, or have extensive scars from prior abdominal surgeries.
If you are diagnosed with uterine fibroids, follow your doctor's instructions .

*Versus the leading level 3
Made in Mexico
Do the skin allergy test 48 hours before each application, even if you have already used coloring products.
Helpful hints
Apply color to damp hair that is free of styling product build-up. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring, as the scalp's natural oils
help to protect it during coloring.
Before starting:
Step 1: Get ready to color
Step 2: Apply color for roots and all-over color
Step 3: Wait 10 minutes
Step 4: Rinse and condition
If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel. Once mixed, never reseal or store the color in a closed container, as it could burst. Pour any unused color mixture down the drain, as it will lose its effectiveness after 30 minutes.
Step 5: Refresh your color after 2 weeks
Natural Instincts Colorfresh™ Revitalizer
Boost your color in just minutes!
Use it 2 weeks after you have colored your hair. Note: Before using it, conduct another skin allergy test 48 hours before application by applying a small amount of the product to an area the size of a quarter in the bend of your elbow and allowing to dry. Do not wash this area for 48 hours. If there are no skin reactions, proceed with product application. If a rash, redness, burning or itching occurs, you must not use this product. The color of the Revitalizer product does not represent your final hair color result.
You do not need to apply conditioner afterwards.

Important safety instructions:
Hair color products may cause allergic reactions, which in rare cases can be severe. Tattoos may increase the risk of allergy to this product. To reduce your risk, follow these instructions:
Do not use this product if you have experienced any reaction to hair color products or have a sensitive, irritated or damaged scalp. In these cases, do not conduct the skin allergy test and consult a doctor before using any hair color product. Conduct a skin allergy test 48 hours prior to each application, even if you have already used coloring products before.
Skin allergy test instructions:
Must be performed 48 hours before you color your hair.
You will need a cotton ball or swab, a plastic bowl and a plastic spoon.
- To open, unscrew the entire Color Activating Cr�me cap (Bottle #2). Don't pull off the tab. Then unscrew the Color Enhancing Colorant cap (Bottle #1).
- Mix small equal parts of the Color Enhancing Colorant and Color Activating Cr�me in a plastic bowl
- Tightly recap both bottles
- Apply mixture to a test area the size of a quarter in the bend of your elbow. Allow to dry. Use remaining mixture for the strand test. Do not wash this area for 48 hours. During washing, protect with an adhesive bandage and remove it immediately after washing.
- Examine the test area during the next 48 hours. If no reaction occurs, you are ready to color.
The absence of a reaction to this test is no guarantee that an allergic reaction may not occur as a result of a future hair coloring process. However, this test represents an important precaution. Please consult a doctor if you have any doubts.
Note: If a rash, redness, burning or itching occurs, you may be allergic. Stop. You must not use this product.
What to do if you have a reaction during or within the next 48 hours of coloring your hair if during coloring you experience:
- Any stinging, burning or rash, rinse immediately and discontinue use as this may be an indication of a more serious reaction. Do not color.
- your hair again before consulting a doctor or seeking medical advice.
- Any rapidly spreading skin rash, dizziness or faintness, shortness of breath or swelling to eyes/face, rinse immediately and seek immediate medical attention.
If after coloring or on the following days you experience:
- Problems such as itching, rash, swelling to eyes/face, blistering or skin/scalp weeping, seek immediate medical attention.
Strand test:
Do the Strand Test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results. Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing.
You will need: scissors, tape and a clock.
- Cut a 1/4 inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end. Dampen with water.
- Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the Allergy Test. Start timing.
- After 10 minutes (8 minutes for permed or relaxed hair), check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 20 minutes.
Fill in your personal color time below:
My timing for desired color: _______ minutes.
Useful tips from the experts at Clairol:
- If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help protect it during coloring.
- To prevent staining, apply a little moisturizer around your hairline
- For best results, do not shampoo your hair for 24 hours after coloring
- If you plan to perm your hair, perm first, and then you can use Natural Instincts the very same day as long as your scalp is not irritated and is in good condition
- If you plan to chemically relax your hair, relax your hair first, and then wait at least 7 days and one shampoo before coloring

ADVISORY CNN Wire Outlook
Supervising News Editor Lateef Mungin -- 404-827-1401
Gaza-Israel-Strike (Update)
Hours after a cease-fire was declared Wednesday in Israel's conflict with Gaza, it appeared to be holding, an Israeli official said.
Syria-Civil-War (Update)
Syrian rebels accused government forces of bombing a hospital in the besieged city of Aleppo late Wednesday, killing at least 40 people as the conflict there ground on.
Syrian rebels accused government forces of bombing a hospital in the besieged city of Aleppo late Wednesday, killing at least 40 people as the conflict there ground on.
Hours after a cease-fire was declared Wednesday in Israel's conflict with Gaza, it appeared to be holding, an Israeli official said.
Developments in the violence between Gaza and Israel and the diplomatic efforts to bring peace.
The code red siren blaring in Israel hit close to home for Rabbi Adam Starr. His wife and daughter were visiting the Jewish state Tuesday, where Israelis have been darting for cover from daily Hamas rocket fire. Starr breathed easy after he got off the phone with his wife. "She's in Jerusalem," said Starr, leader of Young Israel of Toco Hills in Atlanta. "She called me to tell me she is OK." But he and others in his congregation and across the country remain anxious over the latest round of fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Every explosion in Gaza seems personal to Said Durrah. The Washington-area resident has so many relatives in Gaza that he can't count them all: uncles, aunts, cousins, second cousins, and so on, in Zaytoon, Rimal and other Gaza communities. His mother is one of nine children, many of whom still live in the Palestinian territory.
The relentless pace of the Israeli airstrike on Gaza gave the country's military time to make a significant dent in the offensive capability of Hamas, the Israeli military said. Over the eight day conflict, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) looked to deplete some of the estimated 12,000 rockets Hamas has in its arsenal and destroy tunnels that are said to be used to smuggle weapons. The operation was not without human cost. Nearly 150 Palestinian and Israelis, though mostly Palestinians, were killed and many more were injured. But the IDF said the operation allowed it to accomplish "its pre-determined objectives for Operation Pillar of Defense, and has inflicted severe damage to Hamas and its military capabilities," according to a media release sent soon after the cease-fire took effect on Wednesday. The military gains were a factor in Israel agreeing to stop the airstrikes, according to the IDF.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy's efforts to broker an end to the Israel-Gaza conflict highlight the delicate balancing act he faces as his nation's first freely elected leader.
Analysis: However crude the calculation, especially amid all the civilian casualties, the winners and losers in the Israel-Gaza conflict are already reshaping political alliances in the Middle East.
Senior U.S. military officials are considering increasing the American military presence in the Mediterranean because of what they see as growing instability in recent months, CNN has learned.
In the background of the drama playing out in Gaza and southern Israel, an election looms. On January 22 Israelis will go to the polls for early parliamentary voting. In October, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the early elections to ensure "a responsible security and economic policy" in the face of the economic downturn and threats to Israel's security from Iran and elsewhere. He took the step after failing to reach agreement on a budget with his coalition partners. Is the fighting between Israel and Hamas likely to affect the elections? Probably not, experts said this week.
The political leader of Hamas says his group was not behind Wednesday's bus bombing in Tel Aviv. But Khaled Meshaal tells CNN he believes the bombing was a response to the violence in Gaza.
The burial at sea of Osama bin Laden after he was killed by Navy SEALs last year followed traditional Islamic procedures, according to newly released military e-mails, but less than a dozen "leadership" members aboard the Navy carrier where the service took place were informed of the burial.
Chelsea moved quickly to replace the sacked Roberto Di Matteo Wednesday as Rafael Benitez was appointed as interim manager until the end of the season.
A wonder goal from French international Philippe Mexes helped seven-time winners AC Milan into the last 16 of the European Champions League with a 3-1 win at 10-man Anderlecht Wednesday.
Top jockey Frankie Dettori was handed a temporary ban from riding in France Wednesday after giving a positive drugs test for a banned substance.
New York Police Department has arrested a man in the shooting deaths of three New York City shopkeepers, according to Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Superstorm Sandy left the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island national monuments with enough infrastructure damage to keep them closed, the National Park Service said Wednesday. Both locations have been closed since October 29, when a rare mix of converging, destructive weather made landfall in the Northeast.
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is often associated with the wandering minds and erratic behavior of schoolchildren, but it can have serious consequences for adults as well. A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that people with ADHD who are on medications for the condition are less likely to commit crimes.
A new study suggests that mammograms find some tumors that wouldn't be a problem. Researchers say mammograms also fail to catch some dangerous tumors. The American Cancer Society says the study must be "viewed with caution."
The Department of Energy is putting federal money behind the development of small-scale nuclear reactors that supporters say are cheaper, safer and easier to build, though the design still needs federal approval.
Art Ginsburg, who as "Mr. Food" demonstrated recipes and cooking tips in 90-second segments for millions of TV viewers over more than 30 years, died Wednesday of cancer, a company official said.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a voluntary recall of a craft kit to create a foam pumpkin turkey following concerns the magnets included with the seasonal adult product could pose a hazard if ingested by small children.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned from Congress effective Wednesday, citing the need to spend time "restoring my health." Jackson, 47, announced his resignation in a letter sent to House Speaker John Boehner Wednesday. Jackson, 47, who has been treated for what he described last month as "several serious health issues," is the subject of several investigations. Voters in his South Side Chicago district re-elected him for a 10th two-year term this month, despite his legal and health troubles.
As congressional leaders and President Barack Obama search for common ground to tame the national debt as the weeks dwindle down to end of the year, House Speaker John Boehner said the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare, must be included in deficit negotiations.
Obama for America, the name of the president's re-election campaign, is already at work in an adjusted role as a policy advocate for President Barack Obama's second term. Those on the campaign email list likely received a message Wednesday from the group, explaining the consequences of the so-called fiscal cliff and the president's plan in the ongoing negotiations to avert the economic disaster.
President Barack Obama took on the annual tradition of pardoning the National Thanksgiving Turkey on Wednesday, with Cobbler the turkey being the lucky bird.
Fiscal cliff negotiations are proving to be the perfect excuse for President Obama and the business community to smooth over a rocky four years.
Stocks closed out a quiet pre-Thanksgiving trading day higher as investors focused on positive U.S. economic numbers instead of renewed questions over Greece's solvency.
The feds have been circling hedge fund titan Steven Cohen and his firm SAC Capital Advisors for some time, sniffing around for signs of insider trading and making peripheral strikes on people who've worked there.
Despite stores falling over themselves with incentives and earlier openings than ever this Thanksgiving, fewer people are expected to turn up for Black Friday sales.
News footage of Black Friday sales, in which shoppers line up after Thanksgiving in search of steeply reduced merchandise, can resemble an episode of the classic nature show "Wild Kingdom." To those who don't participate, Black Friday may seem like madness. But for the initiated, the country's biggest shopping day is something more: a jump start on Christmas shopping and even a ritual worth preserving. CNN.com readers share their own dramatic stories.
The National Transportation Safety Board is the latest federal agency to ditch its BlackBerry phones for Apple's iPhone -- and it had a few scathing words about why it's making the switch.
China's manufacturing industry showed further signs of improvement in November, according to a key early indicator. HSBC said its initial Chinese purchasing managers' index, or PMI, rose to a 13-month high of 50.4 in November from 49.5 last month. The reading ticked above the benchmark of 50, meaning that manufacturing is now in a state of accelerated expansion. The bank's final reading for the month will be released Dec. 1.
Even when you're a legend yourself, the thought of playing one for the screen is still frightening. Such was the case for Anthony Hopkins, who transforms into Alfred Hitchcock for this month's "Hitchcock," which is based on the book "Alfred Hitchcock and the making of 'Psycho'" and directed by Sacha Gervasi.
We're not surprised to hear that Gerard Butler, with his legion of admiring fans, learned how to flirt at a young age. It all happened when the Scottish actor was "third year" in school - which would be about 14 years old, he told CNN.
We warned you to steel yourself before reading Fiona Apple's explanation for postponing her South American tour, because the singer/songwriter has written a letter that could touch even the cynical. On her Facebook page, Apple said she couldn't set out on a string of dates - which were reportedly set to start in Brazil next week - because her 14-year-old Pit Bull Janet is dying.
Fiona Apple's recent decision to postpone her South American tour to stay home with her elderly and ailing dog may have caused some upset among her fans, but she's won a whole pack of new ones who thoroughly support and understand that decision all too well. I am one of them.
Thanksgiving by the numbers
Israel, engage Abbas now

Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards conducted another full practice today in Nationwide Arena, the fifth such session since the Jackets returned from a loss in Boston eight days ago.
Such practice time is precious in the hectic NHL season. For the young and unpredictable Jackets, it's gold.
"I certainly think we needed it," center Mark Letestu said. "There were some things in our game that were missing, some things that had slipped. We brushed up on some of that, but we still have a ways to go to be where we want to be. Just watching video isn't enough. At times you have to do things, see things. Practice time is huge for us. Thank God the schedule lightened up a bit and we were able to get some."
The Jackets played only two games last week and won them both. They'll play four times this week, beginning on Monday in Pittsburgh. The Penguins are coming off a brutal, ugly and ultimately crushing 3-2 loss at Boston on Saturday, but Richards doesn't expect the Penguins to be as vulnerable as the Minnesota Wild was on Friday.
The Wild, playing the second game of a back-to-back, was coming off a marquee win over Chicago, it's first over the Blackhawks at home in several seasons. The high-speed Penguins are hobbled, yet a rash of injuries and discipline won't faze them, Blue Jackets center Mark Letestu said.
"They've dealt with as much injury and adversity as probably
Buckeyes lose heartbreaker to Gonzaga
MSU's Denicos Allen stopped Braxton Miller a yard short on fourth and 2 with 5:46 to play
Michigan State coach referred to second spot in BCS title game
The Blue Jackets will be without defenseman James Wisniewski for at least the next two games because of an upper body injury, coach Todd Richards said today.
Wisniewski was injured during Friday's 4-0 win over Minnesota - perhaps on a second-period check by Wild forward Matt Cooke -- but played 18 minutes, 43 seconds and finished with a plus-3 rating.
With Wisniewski injured, the Blue Jackets are expected to dress David Savard after four straight healthy scratches.
The Blue Jackets play in Pittsburgh on Monday, then return home to play New Jersey on Tuesday.
Wisniewski and rookie Ryan Murray have emerged in recent weeks as a very reliable defensive pair for Richards. In the last six games, Wisniewski had two assists and a plus-6 rating, while Murray had one goal, one assist and a plus-6 rating.
In 28 games this season ...
The Jackets went six weeks between back-to-back victories. There are mammals – rabbits, ferrets, weasels and even kangaroos – that have gestation periods that long. Go ahead, look it up.
In any case, another winning streak was finally born tonight in the Nationwide Arena, where the Jackets defeated the Minnesota Wild 4-0. A crowd of 11,319 braved apocalyptic weather to bear witness.
The wee winning streak is notable in that both victories were shutouts. Sergei Bobrovsky and Curtis McElhinney combined to beat Tampa Bay 1-0 in the Nationwide Arena Tuesday night. Bobrovsky (groin) went on injured reserve (where he will remain for 4-6 weeks) and McElhinney continued hot against the Wild.
The difference tonight was McElhinney (20 saves) got a lot of help from his teammates and his opponents. The Wild, coming off a stirring, 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks last night, were clearly deflated and definitely awful against the Jackets. Thanks for coming. Then again, did anyone see Dany Heatley? He was invisible, and he was not alone.
