It's startling statistic for you right from an insolvent state 15%.
Of -- and -- residents living in poverty one in three off.
It's all -- poverty.
Joining the company from Chicago attend -- will be Illinois policy institute fit.
First of could you defines poverty forming.
Shares of poverty -- -- -- a family of four.
Is making less than 44000 dollars.
And income so that that's that's the definition about the federal poverty level does that include all the -- -- payments which they receive nominal -- subsidies food -- from.
Right -- that would include that would include all the all the income that they make but I think -- that the big picture answers look at a third of Illinois at or near poverty there.
And and 15% at poverty.
It's a really sad number and and what I think we need to ask -- question is how did we get there.
There well why would you or I mean it and that's about a far higher level of polity than almost all other states in the nation so tell me why Illinois.
Well that's exactly the question Ryland oil -- from for decades the state has been.
Has been running high deficits.
Spending spending and spending over borrowing and right running big government programs.
As what you've got -- you've got up a -- -- failure to bad numbers the sad part is every time the politicians look at the numbers and Illinois.
They think the solution is more taxes more spending and more government what we're kinda trapped in this virtual circle here -- -- -- complete the -- -- want is the direct link.
Between a very activist government that spends big and goes big into debt what is the dot show -- the direct connection between that and a very high public enough.
I think I think that the best way to look at this is -- see what's happening with with people leaving Illinois.
Illinois loses one person every ten minutes to other states people are leaving companies don't want -- -- they're scared of coming Illinois there's too much debt and and frankly you know.
You can't blame for being scared -- ought to pay more taxes they don't want to.
-- it was stated that has more more poor people they they want to move to states that are dynamic.
They're cutting taxes like if you look at other states -- your tax rates they want to move to dynamic economies so dynamic war canoes leave.
And dynamic companies that want to -- do not come into Illinois that's the connection with a very high level of government spending and government debt.
-- that's precisely right and if you think about it this is the scary part for Illinois is the people who can leave -- the want to have money and they leave.
The people -- -- -- -- -- -- don't have means and with the amount of debt that I know you've led and covered on on on the amount of Illinois debt.
You're gonna leave -- much in debt with people who can't pay it and that smells like insolvency I keep asking the same question -- -- -- to you and other people from Illinois when does the crunch time com.
When do we stop lending Illinois money on when does Illinois asked the feds for -- bailout.
Well look you've you've you've -- on this and -- that's the right questions.
You know the Illinois Illinois continues to fail to get a handle on its debt the politicians won't take on the unions.
That they won't reform pensions.
And it's it's really become dangerous but I tell him what was missing when does the crunch come this year and actually has a -- can't yet -- I think I think you know look if you look at what happened in California they got away with one more tax increase we're trying to block tax increases in Illinois.
But as long as the politicians can do that they kind of -- the problem to kick the can down the road it's no different what's happening in Washington and frankly if you wanna see.
What's gonna happen to the rest of the nation all you need to do is look at at Illinois Scalia you know it will Obama using the on what playbook in in Washington -- -- -- Ted Nebraska Illinois policy institute thank you very much indeed -- see you -- thank you the.

text: One of the most creative ways a person can express themselves is through clothing. Fashion and all that we adorn ourselves with has been an ever-changing craft since humans first felt the need to protect their more private areas from the harsh elements. Of course clothing is special. They're things we hold close to our bodies and yet they're also among the first things others notice about us. They're a reminder that we are exposed, and nearly everyone puts a little bit of their internal in these externals. It's no wonder, then, that a dress can be found in any color, fabric, print, or texture. We've seen dresses that could light up, dresses made of food, dresses that double as pieces of technology, and more. Artist and fashion design student Sopi Su has created a dress that's literally an outpour of human thought and creativity.

Tim Scott on Health Care | |
[Sen. DeMint, R-SC]: The Democrats have Medicare on a course of bankruptcy. Republicans are trying to save Medicare & make sure there are options for seniors in the future. Medicare will not be there 5 or 10 years from now. Doctors will not see Medicare patients at the rate [Congress will] pay.
[Sen. Ayotte, R-NH]: We have 3 choices when it comes to addressing rising health care costs in Medicare. We can do nothing & watch the program go bankrupt in 2024. We can go forward with the President's proposal to ration care through an unelected board of 15 bureaucrats. Or we can show real leadership & strengthen the program to make it solvent for current beneficiaries, and allow future beneficiaries to make choices.
Opponent's Arguments for voting No:
[Sen. Conrad, D-ND]: In the House Republican budget plan, the first thing they do is cut $4 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years. For the wealthiest among us, they give them an additional $1 trillion in tax reductions. To offset these massive new tax cuts, they have decided to shred the social safety net. They have decided to shred Medicare. They have decided to shred program after program so they can give more tax cuts to those who are the wealthiest among us.
[Sen. Merkley, D-TK]: The Republicans chose to end Medicare as we know it. The Republican plan reopens the doughnut hole. That is the hole into which seniors fall when, after they have some assistance with the first drugs they need, they get no assistance until they reach a catastrophic level. It is in that hole that seniors have had their finances devastated. We fixed it. Republicans want to unfix it and throw seniors back into the abyss. Then, instead of guaranteeing Medicare coverage for a fixed set of benefits for every senior--as Medicare does now--the Republican plan gives seniors a coupon and says: Good luck. Go buy your insurance. If the insurance goes up, too bad.
Scott says, "Scott (R-SC)"
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Pitts, R-PA]: Section 4002 of PPACA establishes a Prevention and Public Health Fund, which my bill, H.R. 1217, would repeal. The PPACA section authorizes the appropriation of and appropriates to the fund from the Treasury the following amounts:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill represents the Republicans' newest line of attack to disrupt, dismantle, and to ultimately destroy the Affordable Care Act. For many years, Republicans have joined with Democrats in supporting programs to prevent disease, to promote health and, in turn, to cut health care costs. But today, the House will vote to end funding for the first and only Federal program with dedicated, ongoing resources designed to make us a healthier Nation.
Scott says, "Scott (R-SC)"
The Contract from America, clause 7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care:
Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling
The Club for Growth's "Repeal-It!" Pledge for candidates states, "I hereby pledge to the people of my district/state upon my election to the U.S. House of Representatives/U.S. Senate, to sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government."
Repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, effective as of its enactment. Restores provisions of law amended by such Act.
Repeals the health care provisions of the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010, effective as of the Act's enactment. Restores provisions of law amended by the Act's health care provisions.

New evidence shows that the ocean is the primary repository for excess carbon dioxide produced during the past 200 years of industrialization. The change in the concentration of CO2 in ocean waters could threaten shell formation in certain plankton, corals and mollusks.
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from about 280 parts per million in 1800 to 380 parts per million today. But this increase accounts for only about half of the expected contribution from human activity. In a study published today in the journal Science, Christopher L. Sabine of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and his collaborators determined from a worldwide survey of water samples that 48 percent of the estimated CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacturing has ended up in the ocean. This implies that the terrestrial biosphere, which includes soil and plant life, has not been a long-term carbon sink for industrial emissions and may in fact be a net source for CO2 over the given time frame, owing to forest clearings and other land-use changes.
The scientists estimate that the seas have sequestered 130 billion tons of anthropogenic carbon and that they have the potential to hold three times that amount. But the increase of CO2 alters ocean chemistry. In a companion article, Richard A. Freely, also of NOAA, and his colleagues investigated the effect of rising CO2 levels on calcium carbonate, which certain organisms rely on to create their shells. Elevated concentrations of CO2 make the ocean more acidic and reduce the number of carbonate ions. If the ions are too few, the water will dissolve calcium carbonate. The researchers measured the dissolution rate of calcium carbonate at several sites and determined that parts of the ocean, starting in the high latitudes, could become inhospitable for many shell-forming creatures if current trends in fossil fuel consumption continue. The authors comment that the predicted CO2 levels for the end of the century could "potentially have significant impacts on the biological systems in the ocean in ways we are only beginning to understand."

General Information
General information about the BPjM (Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors)
We are an official administrative authority of the German government called "Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien" (BPjM).
The BPjM's task is to protect minors (= people under 18) in Germany from any media content harmful to minors. This task is authorized by the "Protection of Minors Act" (Jugendschutzgesetz – JuSchG).
Media content is considered harmful to minors if it tends to endanger their process of developing a socially responsible and self-reliant personality (§ 18 I JuSchG). This applies to, for example, media that contain indecent, extremely violent, crime-inducing, anti-Semitic or racist material, also to media content that glorifies National Socialism, drugs, alcohol abuse, self-inflicted injury or suicide, to media content propagating vigilante justice and to media content that discriminates against specific groups of people.
Media examined by the BPjM are: films (DVD, BluRay, etc.), games (PC, Playstation, Xbox, Wii, etc.), music (audio CDs, etc.), printed media (books, comic books, magazines, brochures, etc.) and internet sites. The examination takes place after the media's publication.
The BPjM may only act on official requests by other administrative institutions, such as German youth welfare or police departments, the KJM (Kommission für Jugendmedienschutz), etc.
The BPjM's "Board of 12" (12er-Gremium) will examine the respective object. The Board consists of the chairwoman of the BPjM, eight representatives of different socially relevant groups (e.g. members of the artistic and literary community; the entertainment industry; youth welfare offices, teacher associations, religious groups) and three representatives of the federal states.
If the "Board of 12", with a majority of 2/3 of its members, comes to the conclusion that the object's content is indeed harmful to minors ("jugendgefährdend") and that the freedom of art and/or the freedom of speech do not outweigh the matter of protecting minors, the object's title will be entered into the "list of media harmful to minors" ("Liste der jugendgefährdenden Medien"), generally referred to as "the index".
If a media content is evidently ("offensichtlich") harmful to minors – meaning that the "Board of 12" has ordered the indexing in similar cases –, the object will be entered into the index in a simplified proceeding ("vereinfachtes Verfahren", § 23 I JuSchG), requiring a unanimous vote by the "Board of 3" (3er-Gremium), a board consisting of the chairwoman of the BPjM and two representatives of the institutions mentioned above.
Distributors of an indexed object are no longer permitted to let minors have access to it or to sell, rent out or even present this object in public or to broadcast it. The same goes for advertising for this object. Violations of these restrictions will be punished under German jurisdiction.
In case of content severely harmful to minors ("schwer jugendgefährdend"), the object does not need to be entered into the "index", as the distribution restrictions mentioned above are effective automatically (§ 15 II JuSchG). This applies, for example, to any pornographic content or to other content that violates certain clauses of the German penal law, also to content glorifying war and content depicting minors in an unnatural and sexual posture.
[Pornography is defined by the German High Court as a presentation of sexuality that is not connected to any kind of psychologically motivated human relationship and which glorifies sexual satisfaction as the only reason for human existence, accompanied by grossly depicted genitals.]
Strictly prohibited in Germany – even among people over 18 – are the depictions of pornographic acts involving children, adolescents, animals or violence. This also applies to the denial of the Holocaust, the spreading of propaganda material by forbidden organisations, the depiction of symbols of the National Socialist regime and the glorification of violence.
In all proceedings of the BPjM, the respective author/owner/distributor has the right to defend the object against the charges of its content being harmful to minors. He/She can either send in a written statement to the BPjM, or, if a hearing by the Board of 12 is scheduled, he/she may attend the hearing, possibly accompanied by a legal representative. The author/owner/distributor will also receive the written verdict of the Board and has the right to appeal to a Court of Law.
If the Board decides to enter an object into the "index", the verdict will be officially announced in the federal government gazette ("Bundesanzeiger") as well as in the publication "BPjM-Aktuell". If the indexed object is an internet site, however, the verdict will not be officially announced.
Regarding the spreading of indexed media online, the dissemination is legal only if technical measures prohibit minors from accessing the indexed content (AVS = age verification system or Adult-Check-System).
Furthermore, some content may not be disseminated online at all. This applies to media content strictly prohibited in Germany (see above) as well as to the glorification of war and the depiction of minors in an unnatural and sexual posture.
All newly indexed internet sites (URL) disseminated from outside Germany will be updated into the "BPjM-module" which can be incorporated into youth protection filter programs available to parents and others in charge of the protection of minors. By using the "BPjM-module", those sites deemed harmful to minors will not be accessible in family homes as well as in schools, public libraries or other places frequented by young people. Furthermore, most of the German search engines have pledged themselves to incorporating the "BPjM-module" into their filter programs, so that indexed sites will not show up among the search results.
After an object has been entered into the "index", its author/owner/distributor can remove the incriminating content and request a second examination by the BPjM. If the altered content is then no longer found to be harmful to minors by the Board, the object will be removed from the index, or, in case of an altered version of a film, game or book, the distribution restrictions mentioned above will not apply to this new version.
The indexing will stay in effect for 25 years, after which the BPjM will have to start a new proceeding if the content is still deemed harmful to minors.
10 years after the indexing process, the author/owner/distributor may request the de-listing of an object, meaning that the Board will re-examine its content. If it should then no longer be deemed harmful to minors, the title will be removed from the index.

That -- President Obama's first off on the fiscal cliff includes a one point six trillion dollars in higher taxes yes new spending and that.
New power law over the debt ceiling.
The -- was delivered to Republicans -- -- got that who's had tax problems of zone in the past and today President Obama is in Pennsylvania.
At a toy factory campaigning for tax increases on the rich.
Joining us -- Democrat strategist Judea and against the -- allowing congress I can't believe.
That you would -- regular America.
Really wants to do this to America well do you.
I think this is complete -- And I don't think this is exactly what's gonna happen I think the president knows.
So happens that you don't think the president well actually I think I don't know I think this isn't it I think the president's learn to negotiate with the president used to do is he would start sort of with half a loaf.
And then -- negotiate and give the Republicans Bethany are percent of what they want it I think he finally understood.
That if you want -- actually gets at least half way you've got started extremes Republicans have done assault on any halfway.
So you do agree with me that.
That if this plan know anything like it from the prospect were imposed on this economy at this time.
It would lead to recession I don't well I'm -- I said I think this I think the president is fully aware as are Democrats -- anybody who's really didn't look like an economic judgment for Apollo to recite.
-- -- -- -- I know I am not a fan by the way -- ever have been I thought this fiscal clippings ridiculous from beginning to pick out but let me let premise that you rubbing my -- -- it was higher taxes of this magnitude.
On an economy that's already weak with 8% unemployment you do that I.
And you know would not happen and no I do not believe that raising the marginal tax rates -- the Clinton rates for the wealthiest among us Italy and really just say that because that.
You -- comparing a totally different economy from what we've got now what we have now.
He's 8% unemployment very sluggish growth -- trillion dollar deficit and -- yeah.
You propose to raise temples and back in -- action would not don't she looks -- to understand that you need to offset if you're really serious about debt reduction and I think you are.
Don't understand you need revenue -- Dallas spending cut yes but what else agree on how -- -- -- yes I'll tell you it's sleazy very messy.
You lower tax rates so you keep incentive to walk -- and picked up right now aren't you count -- When George Bush tried that look at the deficit that we have you can't -- -- -- a -- -- -- -- re right economic history you are after George Bush lower tax rates -- to the -- -- the return to the treasury the money coming into the treasury went way off and the deficit by the way in 2007.
Was 167.
Billion dollars so President Obama would handle a 167 billion involves just about.
Don't we like economic history -- not -- economics -- well I am not because I -- actually part of a if you lower tax rates you get more revenue while I'm sorry I didn't I think history has shown whether it's Ron Reagan George shed -- Ronald Reagan Ronald -- W bush that the attacks we're telling me how to read it and what to tell -- that Ron -- not -- the deficit.
Ronald Reagan.
Increased revenues to the -- telling me what that accelerated yeah I think his problem -- you know era tax rates you get.
More revenue -- that is the lesson of economic history -- I'm -- eagle -- lesson of the Reagan years and the bush years no lower note rate you you have definitely not quite sure how true it is factually true.
That when you -- -- -- Reagan did -- dramatic lowering of rights.
That book the revenue into the treasury doubled it by give you that -- yeah yeah.
Segolene that the deficits it was congressional spending that that has been as he -- -- so -- -- about the original argument.
If you now right now lower tax rates you would increase revenue at the treasury you in January and a economic what you and I disagree and that because I know my history and I -- picking -- Iraq do you think that by imposing higher tax rate on a massive tax and unannounced but not every tell me how you cannot not everyone not -- tell me how you all you're going to get growth would you can raise taxes by 1000000000006.
Integrity -- so I think a deficit reduction talking about spending growth and about growth growth and yet -- -- talking wrote that the combination of things of course it's a combination of things a -- matter of -- I I believe that you have a bigger stimulus.
For example do you believe.
That if we put this plan the president's plan into practice now I don't think a president's plan -- -- 5% growth I do not believe on the Iraq.
I don't think the -- asset -- of us who they want to thank the flexibility -- If we raise taxes like that last half of this -- you raise taxes.
Do you think that we would get 45% growth in the next -- used to they would get it -- do you fear.
And of course I'm answering your question if you let me actually traffic is my special knowledge it is not a yes or no question is that -- -- I don't know what the offset would be in be spending -- -- they're talking about I don't know what the sport to billion dollars.
In spending cuts is it has not been delineate as of asking to rule on a -- of.
Out of object so let that -- a different subjects also in the president's plan no more debt ceiling.
They can borrow was up just -- lives we think will be the result.
Well I would love to have an agreement among all parties congressional Republicans as well as Barack Obama and a four admit -- become president -- -- for the same thing.
Let's not hold the debt ceiling hostage because the last and we -- -- events of the the last yes absolutely I would.
Are not just unleashed borrowing.
-- I think we get off that ceiling.
I'd you allow the president to spend what he wants a baffle borrow let's talk about your friend Ron Reagan again I think it was eighteen times that -- raise the debt ceiling -- So -- on and nobody held hostage the full faith and credit it's a -- -- -- do that now know that I know limit there's no debt ceiling.
All I and its own president of -- -- -- just you can just -- no authority from congress what.
Borrow what I would look at what happened what I would love to see some responsibility behalf of our congressional leaders this data are anonymous -- crisis you know if you look at the debt crisis well you got the credit debt prices have been -- bond vigilantes even threatening employment for the past five years and I haven't seen it yet okay.
We'll -- -- it's unfortunate.
We're out of time -- I don't thank you and I love being on the view this by the fact whenever we need to really I literally -- highlight of my day was today was waking up -- announcement wouldn't I don't believe him enough either prefectural do it utterly true all right.
The Julie thank you very much indeed I'm out of time.

2 bottles of Anabeta elite, Plus 3 bottles of OG X-factor.
I went to my old job yesterday And i had a 200 dollar paycheck i guess i never picked up so Im looking to spend it for an end of summer stack. My goal is to Stay about the same weight but i want to look fuller and leaner.
I've never ran anabeta before so i have no clue how ill respond to it and i have ran XFA and had amazing results with it, but from what i hear the OG is stronger so i want to try that next.
currently the only supps ive been taking is whey, creatine, and EC. So let me hear it should this stack bode well together? Anyone ever try it? or should i use the money on something else?

Most of what you're talking about is Opteron/enterprise/MCMs. Sure, there was a bulldozer>piledriver>steamroller roadmap, but that related to micro-architecture, not necessarily how AMD implemented it.
Trinity, Trinity 2.0, Kaveri are not CPUs, they're APUs. My original assertion was that I don't see AMD client CPUs in the future, I only see APUs and enterprise CPUs. Never heard of Vishera 2.0. The only client product roadmaps we're seeing relate to APUs.
Steamroller will support AM3+ in form of Orochi Rev E. much like Thuban in the Phenom II era. The true Steamroller CPU Viperfish won't be shown till 2014. The reasons I believe it was delayed is that it is going to use 22-nm node/28-nm interconnect FinFETs much like how 14-XM uses the 14-nm node/20-nm interconnect.
Fixed the link. I would not consider side/upgrading right now. My 2500k is plenty right now. I just am... I don't know... Just curious as to what amd has compared to what I got. I do the same comparisons to higher up intel cpus to. Thats because this base architecture was primarily designed for servers right? The way you put it, it sounds like an easy fix.
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Tubo) Socket AM... Retail set at $220. Not bad, but I think $5 too high. I expect a drop in price by Christmas
The fix was to get rid of the L3 all together and simply use the L2. Trinity: 4MB of L2(2 * 2) Kaveri: 8MB of L2(4 * 2) Orochi: 8MB of L2 + 8MB of L3 = 16 MB of total cache(2 * 4 + 2 * 4) Viperfish: 20 MB of L2(4 * 5) So, far there is two modes based on the slides for Kaveri and Viperfish: High Performance mode Low Performance mode HPM -> Full 20/8 MB of L2 @ 32 - 40 cycles of latency LPM -> Half 10/4 MB of L2 @ 16 - 20 cycles of latency This way it can appease both server workloads and mainstream workloads. The cache is completely unified as well so all cores can access the L2.
You go on with the speculation about processors 2 and 3 years away Seronx. I am going to turn off my FX-8350 and go to sleep.
This is not on topic. PLease feel free to start a new thread for your discussion outside of the FX-8350. Thanks.
Ta, yea i wouldn't either if i was in your shoes. I just did a number count using guru3d's review with the 2600K vs the FX-8350 (minus the gaming results) and it was a tie, so in my books that's a win, or should i say what Bulldozer should of been in the first place.
Aaaww hells yeah bro looks like we both know what our new platform is going to be Btw I was hoping you would be on steam so I could spam you with AMD news
2500K is a dead ship and won't be sold for much longer so that's not a very good comparison you should compare with the 3570K.
The load power consumption figures seem all over the place. PC Perspective: 15.3% worse than FX-8150 eTeknix: 5.9% worse than FX-8150 X-bit : 3.9% worse than FX-8150 TechSpot: 0.8% worse than FX-8150 Tech Report and Extreme Tech: 0% difference Hardware Heaven: 0.4% better than FX-8150 Hexus: 1.6% better than FX-8150 Anandtech: 2% better than FX-8150 Hardware Canucks: 3.2% better than FX-8150 Hot Hardware: 4.7% better than FX-8150 [H]OCP: 4.8% better than FX-8150 Tom's Hardware: 5.8% better than FX-8150 Legit Reviews: 7.4% better than FX-8150 TechPowerUp: 20.9% better than FX-8150 The median/mean seem ballpark near enough the same for both SKU's, but the range is pretty damn loose.
In the summary it says 3770K costs almost twice as much. 8350 is pitted against the 3570K FYI not the 3770K.
Should I continue or do you get the picture? System power consumption is done at the wall so any variation in the system can give wildly different power consumption.
I'm not sure how they managed to get the power consumption up that much, to that means their is a flaw in their capacitors making they draw too much.
Sure, but if all you are doing is swapping the CPU... interesing, to say teh least.. I wonder how people are doing OC-wise and such too... THe difference is probably in how those numbers were TESTED, not the CONFIGURATIONS.
ive already got most of mine here, just waiting for the dam CPU Yea i knew you would do that if i was on steam, to busy working to be able to play games today
Even within each CPU power consumption varies wildly. Look at your own Intel chips in comparison to anyone elses. A high volt 8350 will make a low volt 8150 look way better than two low volt chips.
Sure, and again, I seem to be doing far better, I think. Anyway, I just got one board here tested 8350, then tested the 8150, waited for BIOS, got BIOS, retested 8150, then retested 8350.

Slowdown in refinancing to blame for 367 layoffs in Troy, Chase saysBy Tom Henderson
JP Morgan Chase & Co. told employees late Monday afternoon that it will close a mortgage facility at 1235 E. Big Beaver Road in Troy and eliminate 367 positions, though many of those employees may be able to land other jobs at the bank. Emily Smith, who works in media relations for Chase, told Crain's that all employees will be put into a reassignment program. "We will work with affected employees to find openings at Chase, either in Michigan or by relocating to another Chase location outside of Michigan," she said. "To date, we have reassigned over 7,000 employees to other roles within the firm. We will also work with other local companies for employees that wish to stay in Troy." Smith said the affected employees will keep their jobs for at least 90 days. She said Chase does not own the building and will not renew its lease. The layoffs are a result of rising interest rates that have cooled what was a hot refinancing boom. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank is expected to begin winding down its stimulus program in coming months, which will also result in rising interest rates. The program, called QE3 because it is the third round of what the Fed terms quantitative easing, involves the buying of $85 billion in bonds each month. The Fed surprised the markets last week when it announced it wouldn't start cutting back on QE3, yet. Analysts had expected the Fed would announce the beginning of a wind down in the stimulus program. "We are responding to our customers' changing needs. Fewer homeowners are struggling with their mortgages and many people have already refinanced, taking advantage of the stronger economy and historically low rates," Smith said. Chase will continue mortgage activities in the state. The office that will close handled loan modifications and refinancings. Even without rising interest rates, the refinance market would have slowed because of the huge volume of refinancings that has occurred in the last few years, during a period of record-low interest rates. The announcement follows other reductions in Chase's mortgage operations. In August, the bank closed a mortgage office in South Carolina, laying off 450 employees, part of a plan Chase announced in February to terminate between 13,000 and 15,000 employees nationwide from its mortgage operations. Chase will still have more than 4,000 employees in Michigan after the Troy office closes. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., as of June 30, Chase was No. 1 in deposit market share in both the state and in Southeast Michigan. In the state, it had 307 branches and a market share of 17.5 percent, compared with No. 2 Comerica Bank, which had 217 branches and 14.2 percent share. In Southeast Michigan, Chase had 176 branches and a market share of 23.7 percent. Comerica had 163 branches and a share of 21.3 percent. Tom Henderson: (313) 446-0337, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Maternity Quality Matters Award
Childbirth Connection established the Maternity Quality Matters Award to recognize programs that have achieved demonstrated, significant improvement in the quality of care provided to childbearing women and newborns. At its 90th anniversary symposium, Transforming Maternity Care, in Washington DC on April 3, 2009, Childbirth Connection's Executive Director, Maureen Corry, presented the inaugural Maternity Quality Matters Award to Seton Family of Hospitals. Dr. Frank Mazza, Chief Patient Safety Officer and Associate Chief Medical Officer, accepted the award. The Seton program used innovation in maternity care systems design and service delivery to improve practice and outcomes. Seton Family of Hospitals was selected from a competitive field of 35 applicants. Eligible entities included professional organizations or associations, national and community health systems, hospitals and birth centers, public agencies, quality improvement organizations, and research or consulting organizations. The judges, members of the symposium Steering Committee, rated applicants on the following criteria:

The Forgotten Carols
November 26, 2012
A straight-laced nurse is assigned to care for an elderly patient who has a few "psychological problems". He calls himself "Uncle John" and believes he's been alive for 2,000 years and has actually met people from the Christmas story that have been "forgotten," i.e. the innkeeper that turned Joseph and Mary away; the shepherd who fell asleep and missed everything and others. He's chronicled his encounters with a collection of "forgotten carols" which he sings as he hangs the ornaments he's collected over the centuries that accompany each unique Christmas song. If only these songs could touch the part of his nurse's heart that she has long since forgotten.

Posted: Jan 20, 2013 9:26 AM by Brin Merkley - MTN News
SEELEY LAKE - It was all smiles Saturday during the fourth annual winter biathlon, which brought out first timers, national champions and spectators alike.
Friends Andrew Gonzales and Caleb George traveled nearly two hours Saturday morning to try their luck in the Seeley Lake Challenge Biathlon.
Despite having only four days of Nordic skiing under his belt, Gonzales says he borrowed a friends clothes, boots and ski's and hit the track.
"It just sounded like a good idea. A good way to spend a Saturday," he said.
The sport involves skiing loops and shooting accuracy, so it's no wonder why so many Montanans like George are eager to try it.
"Well, I like to ski, and also I like to shoot. So I kinda grew up shooting here in Montana, and I also like to ski...my family kind of got me into both of them young and so I decided to come out and see what I had in it."
The race offered categories for both classic and skate skiers of all ages with shorter length courses for youth, kids and children. The race was not only challenging but physically demanding.
Finishing his first 9K biathlon in sixth place, George says the challenge took more effort than he expected.
"I was going pretty hard all they way. I'm pretty beat down right now. [I] could use a refreshment," he told us.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez finished in seventh place. "Smoked the competition. [I] Left it all out over the course. I'm ready for a beer now," he said.
Competitors paid $30 to participate in the race, which began at 10:30 a.m and wrapped up at around 2 p.m

text: Home Culture Michelle Obama's Transcendent Moment We're not postracial, but after the first lady's heckling response, we might be post-"angry black woman." By: Helena Andrews Posted: June 6 2013 12:16 AM 0 Michelle Obama at Washington, D.C., book signing in May 2013 (Alex Wong/Getty Images) (The Root) -- If it's been true in past elections that what the average Joe Voter really wants is to share a beer with the president, then perhaps getting into a bar fight with the first lady will be 2016's litmus test. As it stands, reaction to first lady Michelle Obama's swift handling of a recent heckler fell heavily on the side of "You go, girl!" cementing the public's already deeply entrenched crush on Obama -- and perhaps proving that she has transcended the race and gender stereotypes that used to dog her. While giving a speech at a private fundraiser in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night, Obama was repeatedly interrupted by a member of the audience who was there to do just that. "First lady heckler" 56-year-old Ellen Sturtz attended the $500-a-ticket event at the behest of Get Equal, an LGBT-rights advocacy group that seeks to "take bold action to demand full legal and social equality, and to hold accountable those who stand in the way." In the middle of the first lady's impassioned speech, Sturtz began shouting about the "executive order," referring to anti-discriminatory legislation that would ban federal contractors from discriminating against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees and job applicants. "One of the things I don't do well is this," replied the first lady coolly. "Do you understand?" In an audio recording of the speech, you can hear Obama emphasize that last bit with all the restrained wrath of a grandmother in church reprimanding a kid with the giggles. According to the pool report from a reporter present, the first lady then left her lectern to confront the heckler directly, telling Sturtz, "Listen to me, or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice." None too surprisingly, the crowd loudly sided with Obama, Sturtz was escorted from the room and the first lady finished her speech. Game, set, match. When news of the "incident" reached the Internet, most reactions in the vast comments-sphere were akin to that of the fundraiser's audience -- raucous applause. Many made note of the incongruity in a statement made by Sturtz during an interview after the event. "She came right down in my face," Sturtz said of Obama addressing her directly. "I was taken aback." Protest is a right in these United States, but being "taken aback" by the fact that the first lady doesn't suffer any fools is just plain wrong. Did Sturtz simply think herself above reproach? Or perhaps that the first lady, once dogged by persistent stereotyping, would choose to remain silent at an event where she was invited to speak out? On both counts, Sturtz misjudged Obama's mettle. Black folks immediately recognized Obama's quick quip as familiar, with commenters on Twitter, Facebook and beyond sharing a virtual head nod and "umm-hmm" moment. "When a black woman says, 'Do you understand?' " wrote one Gawker commenter, "that's not a question; that's a statement. Just reading that took me back. Mom did not play that!"

Research Examines Link Between PTSD and Inflammation
BETHESDA, MD—The science into the biological mechanisms behind the psychological symptoms of PTSD is still in its infancy, but studies have linked PTSD to other serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, fatigue, and metabolic disorders. Research funded by NIH is suggesting that the cause of this link might have its roots in endocrine and immune function differences in patients with PTSD and most significantly in those with co-morbid major depressive disorder.
Researchers Battle Genetic Diversity of Virus in Search for HIV Vaccine
BETHESDA, MD—While the hunt for an HIV vaccine has run into a number of roadblocks the past few years, researchers are still meticulously searching for aspects of the virus and the transmission process that could prove to be viable targets for future interventions. NIH grantee Cynthia Derdeyn, PhD, is at the forefront of HIV vaccine research.

-- is Super Bowl in Louisiana Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal is fighting hard to turn around that State's economy.
And when it comes to the issue of health care the governor is going head to head.
With the president and -- met up with the governor down in baton roots what did you find out -- well.
-- -- -- -- just so ironic yesterday when the presence is that was Scott Kelly he's talking about raising your taxes governor Jindal is talking about knocking them down to zero for the people of Louisiana.
Since I've been governor would make tough choices for example gets 171000.
-- were government jobs government positions.
We got now our state budget is 46% smaller.
I made it absolutely were not gonna raise taxes but look at what's happened per capita income.
Where our rankings are higher than it's been an eighty years 25 years in a row we've been losing population since I've been governor five years in row we've had more people move into the state where the lead the.
Stately Phil Mickelson deserves a lot of credit for bringing this front center by saying by the way -- and -- paraphrase.
-- probably have to leave California do some thinking because and giving away 60% of my income you're looking to do what California's not.
And that is not the estate tax down to zero how do you make up that revenue if you -- to -- Florida and Texas.
In Louisiana we've got the fourth lowest state local tax burden courting the Tax Foundation we're actually a little bit lower than Texas even.
But when ranked 32 worst in our tax code part of the reason they -- 68 exemptions you'll loopholes in credits are -- example we have a corporate income tax in this state.
We collect two billion dollars.
We didn't give back one point eight billion dollars -- net 200 million dollar so.
Part of how you make up that revenue -- you get rid of these loopholes these credits these giveaways and you say.
Why are we taking money from people's pockets sending it to batteries and -- give -- -- back to special interest groups of people have lobbyists some of those loopholes credits.
People don't remember why they were put there -- -- Like I believe you gotta make up 3.3 billion dollars with -- revenue and a lot of people concerned he's gonna raise sales tax.
So when I go to buy a rug or anything else that's -- when he gets slammed how do you address that.
We might have to raise that -- tax a little bit to make up some of these -- at the end of the day.
Louisiana families and -- better off a consumption tax philosophically I think is better than an income tax.
I don't think you should be punishing people are making more money when they're saving more money when they're investing their money what worries me so much about Washington DC is -- worried about growing government jobs not the private sector jobs.
Getting rid of the income tax allows us to grow private sector job.
The main thing that's really weighing down the thing that you try to get the president's attention on and that is.
Medicaid you want to sit down with him with some Republican governors what kind of response have you gotten from President Obama because.
-- asking you to go with in your words and 1960s model.
Instead of a model that you think will be affected you studied Medicare for two years just on your own before you got this job.
Governors know what it takes medicate make Medicaid work it is now -- it is an ineffective models -- based on 1960s Madison.
Makes no sense to add 1617 million people in North Bergen that's forty inefficient forty breaking state budgets want to have inside of a one size fits all benefits package -- not -- the benefits let the states decide.
How they wanted to eligibility how they wanted to benefits.
These are the kinds of ideas that would collectively could save both the states and federal government billions of dollars.
And better serve our people you've seen this present -- -- a half years do you believe you ever gonna get a return phone call.
You are a look -- to continue to be optimistic but the reality is I'd -- -- the -- a ball repeal and replace the very least.
They need to sit and listen -- governors and here -- thoughts about how they can make Medicaid more effective for all of our beneficiaries and for all of our taxpayer.
Need to be in New York he talked very quick he certainly familiar with the numbers you guys when we come back the -- -- -- about the Republican Party and his direct criticism.
Of where the party is being everywhere he wants to take him my friend thank you very much.
