- The Fed injects an addition trillion dollars into the economy.
WASHINGTON “" With the country sinking deeper into recession, the Federal Reserve launched a bold $1.2 trillion effort Wednesday to lower rates on mortgages and other consumer debt, spur spending and revive the economy. To do so, the Fed will spend up to $300 billion to buy long-term government bonds and an additional $750 billion in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues wrapped a two-day meeting by leaving a key short-term bank lending rate at a record low of between zero and 0.25 percent. Economists predict the Fed will hold the rate in that zone for the rest of this year and for most _ if not all _ of next year.
- Marijuana policy undergoes a long overdue shift.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder signaled a change on medical marijuana policy Wednesday, saying federal agents will target marijuana distributors only when they violate both federal and state law.
That would be a departure from the Bush administration, which targeted medical marijuana dispensaries in California even if they complied with that state’s law.
- Are newspapers next on the bailout list?
WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Wednesday preserving a healthy newspaper industry was important and he was open to adjusting antitrust policy if it could help.
“I’d like to think 20, 30, 40 years from now people will still be reading the newspaper,” Holder told reporters.
He was responding to a call by House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, urging the Justice Department to give newspapers more leeway to merge or combine operations.
“The policy is to go after those people who violate both federal and state law,” Holder said in a question-and-answer session with reporters at the Justice Department.
- And in another first, Barack Obama will become the first sitting US President to appear on a late night talk show.
Dear Style Me Thrifty,I need your help. I’m 26 years old and keep getting asked if I’m viisting from college! While I’m fine with looking younger than my age (everyone tells me that will come in handy down the road), I don’t want to come across as lacking maturity.I find it happens most when I’m running errands on the weekends or coming from the gym. My errand/gym uniform usually consists of a t-shirt and gym shorts with my hair in a ponytail. How can I improve my errand wear without sacrificing comfort (I will never be able to set foot in a mall in heels) and without breaking the bank?Most importantly, how can I do an easy, functional ponytail that looks more sophisticated? I think the ponytail could be a huge factor in all of this. I look much younger with my hair back and I’m not very good at styling my hair in up-dos. Any help you could provide would be wonderful. Thank you!
We’ve arrived at the end of the line and I have what I need!

Have you read Overachievers yet? It was also fascinating for lack of a better word, and I could see faces of kids I knew in high school as well. I’ve been going through Robbins’ books since I read Geeks. Thanks!
You had what Oprah would call, “An A-Ha Moment”. What matters is where you will go with it.I used your Pause idea a couple times this week; its a really good tool.

In the article Fleischer explains that he must pay the employee Sally $74k/year in total. This means that she must produce MORE than $74k in revenue to the employer, or he will lose money by keeping her.Or it hasn't occurred that Fleischer's business model is heading towards failure. If they have to have continual contempt & distrust for the employees, his business is hurting badly. Perhaps she is already making the needed revenue, and Fleischer just doesn't want to admit it.
