Debt | Greece Launches Debt Swap Offer To Private Creditors ...

February 26, 2012 ? 8:46 am

Greece on Friday launched a debt swap offer to private creditors holding nearly 206 billion euros of Greek debt, hoping to cut the total amount the country owes by about a third, a statement said.

?The bonds invited to participate in (the swap) have an aggregate outstanding value of approximately 206 billion euros ($271 billion),? the Greek finance ministry and the debt management agency said.

The swap is expected to cut 107 billion euros from Greece?s total 350 billion euros debt mountain.

Athens said it was seeking participation from at least 75 percent of bonds selected, or the transaction will be called off.

?If less than 75 percent of the aggregate face amount of the bonds selected to participate are validly tendered for exchange?the (Hellenic) Republic will not proceed with any of the transactions described above,? it said.

It noted that under legislation approved on Thursday, the exchange becomes binding for bonds governed by Greek law ?if at least two thirds by face amount of a quorum of these bonds?approve the proposed amendments.?

At issue is the idea that the private creditor debt swap has to be judged to be ?voluntary? overall and would be if two-thirds sign up.

If it cannot be classed as voluntary, then those private creditors opposed to it could invoke their Credit Default Swaps, a type of financial instrument taken out to insure against a loss on an investment.

Should that happen, the whole deal could begin to unravel, leading to heavy costs for the counterparties to the CDS (SNP: ^CDSY ? news ) deals.

Eligible bonds covered by the exchange announced on Friday include maturities ranging from March 20 to July 2057.

Holders of Greek debt will receive new bonds with a face value equal to 31.5 percent of the face amount of the debt exchanged, plus European Financial Stability Facility notes with a maturity date of two years or less from the debt swap settlement date on March 12.

The short-term notes from the EFSF, which are backed by the EU?s strongest economies like Germany, are meant as a highly liquid sweetner to push creditors to accept the swap.

Holders will also receive growth-linked securities equal to the face amount of the new bonds, the offer said.

The interest rate offered on the new bonds is 2.0 percent to 2015, 3.0 percent to 2020, 3.65 percent to 2021 and 4.3 percent from 2022 and thereafter, until the latest maturity of 2042.

On March 20, Greece faces a repayment of 14.43 billion euros it cannot make if the debt write-down fails.

The swap, in effect a cancellation of nearly a third of the 350 billion euros in debt owed by Greece, is part of a rescue stitched together with the eurozone and International Monetary Fund to avert default.

This particular offer is not open to private sector holders in the United States, who will be invited to participate in a concurrent exchange offer with cash replacing the offer of EFSF notes.

Similarly, Swiss holders may not exchange their bonds but will be invited to consent to amendments.

Greek maturities have hit rock-bottom after successive months of downgrades from the three main global rating agencies, Fitch, Moody?s and Standard and Poor?s.

Fitch this week said that a Greek default was ?highly likely? as it cut its credit rating on Greece again from ?CCC? to ?C?.

The two-notch drop meant it was now at the bottom of the speculative grades and just one step above formal default.

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos this week said rating agencies ?might declare Greece in selective default? while the debt-swap operation was ongoing.

But he added: ?A selective default is only critical if the ECB (European Central Bank) and the eurozone consider it so. There is a full mechanism to cover liquidity in the meantime.?

World News - Gunman kills two US Army officers in Afghan Interior ...

NBC's Atia Abawi reports.

By NBC News, msnbc.com and news services

Updated at?5:36 p.m. ET: A gunman shot dead two American military officials inside the heavily guarded Afghan Interior Ministry in the center of the capital Kabul on Saturday in an alarmingly brazen attack, as protests raged across the country for a fifth day over the burning of the Muslim holy book at a NATO base.

The Americans, who were U.S.?Army officers serving as advisers to the Afghan security forces, were sitting at their desks inside the government ministry building when they were killed, NBC News reported. They were shot in the back of the head, Western officials speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press.

U.S. officials said the assailant ? who has not been identified by name or nationality ? remained at large and a manhunt was under way.

---

Underscoring the gravity of the attack and apparent security breach, Gen. John Allen, the commander of NATO and U.S. forces in Afghanistan,?ordered all NATO personnel recalled from Afghan ministries "for obvious force protection reasons."

Retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey offers analysis of the deaths and protests in Afghanistan.

"We are investigating the crime and will pursue all leads to find the person responsible for this attack. The perpetrator of this attack is a coward whose actions will not go unanswered," Allen said in a statement.

The U.S. servicemen ? a lieutenant colonel and a major ? were found dead on the floor of an office that only people who know a numerical combination can get into, Afghan and Western officials told the AP.

"There is CCTV there and special locks. The killer would have had to have the highest security (clearance) to get to the room where they were killed,"?an Afghan security source told Reuters.

NATO spokesman Lt. Col Jimmie Cummings said "initial reports say it was not a Western shooter." He declined to provide further information.

In an e-mail sent to Western officials in Kabul from NATO headquarters, the?attack was described as ?green on blue,? which is the military term used here when Afghan security forces turn their weapons on their Western military allies, The New York Times reported.

The Afghan Taliban claimed that two of their fighters had managed to enter the building in Kabul and kill four "high-ranking U.S. advisers," according to NBC News. U.S. military officials confirmed only two deaths and the Taliban claim could not be independently verified. The Taliban often exaggerate claims of responsibility for terror attacks.

A U.S. military convoy enters the Afghan Interior Ministry in Kabul on Saturday after a gunman killed two American advisers inside.

"Our suicide bomber Abdur Rahman along with another fighter managed to enter the interior ministry and open fire at the Americans. Before carrying out the suicide attack, Abdur Rahman told us on telephone that he had killed four high-ranking Americans. The second fighter successfully escaped the building and has joined his fighters now," the Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said in a phone call to NBC?from an undisclosed location.

Military leaders and politicians haven't had much success in stopping the violence, but religious leaders have. NBC's Atia Abawi reports.

He said it was revenge?for the?desecration of holy Quran by the U.S. forces.

In Washington,?Pentagon press secretary George Little?said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was informed of the shooting Saturday morning. "This act is unacceptable, and the United States condemns it in the strongest possible terms," Little said.

He said?Afghan Defense Minister?Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak called Panetta to apologize and to offer his condolences.

"Secretary Panetta appreciated the call and urged the Afghan government to take decisive action to protect coalition forces and curtail the violence in Afghanistan after a challenging week in the country," Little's statement said. "Minister Wardak said that President (Hamid) Karzai was assembling the religious leaders, parliamentarians, justices of the Supreme Court and other senior Afghan officials to take urgent steps to do so."

In Kabul, Allen met with Afghan Interior Minister?Bismillah Mohammadi, who pledged "complete cooperation in investigating today's tragedy and in taking stronger measures to protect ISAF personnel," Little said.

President Barack Obama called Allen after Saturday's shootings and the White House said the president supported the steps taken to protect U.S. service members in Afghanistan.

"We welcome President Karzai's statement ... encouraging peaceful expressions, and his call for dialogue and calm. The United States remains committed to a partnership with the government and people of Afghanistan, as we work to realize our shared goal of disrupting, dismantling and defeating al-Qaida and strengthening the Afghan state," the White House statement added.

If the shootings are linked to Afghan forces, new questions will arise about Taliban infiltration as well as their ability to secure Afghanistan once NATO combat forces withdraw in 2014.

NATO is supposed to be moving away from a combat role to an advise-and-assist mission as early as next year. That will require NATO to place more staff in ministries.

"The fact that NATO is recalling staff from ministries suggests they are worried about a deep malaise in the Afghan security forces, that they expect more of these attacks," said Kamran Bokhari at STRATFOR global intelligence firm.

Quran protests
Saturday's attack comes as tensions between the Afghans and the Americans are high following the burning of copies of the Muslim holy book at a U.S. base that sparked days of deadly protests.

At least 28 people have been killed and hundreds wounded since Tuesday, when it first emerged that Qurans and other religious materials had been thrown into a fire pit used to burn garbage at Bagram Air Field, a large U.S. base north of Kabul. Among those dead were two U.S. soldiers who were killed Thursday by one of their Afghan counterparts while a riot raged outside their base in the eastern province of Nangarhar.

President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials apologized and said the burning of Qurans was a terrible mistake, but the incident has sent thousands to the streets in this deeply religious country.

In Kunduz, the capital of Kunduz province in northeast Afghanistan, more than 1,000 protesters demonstrated. At first they were peaceful, but as the protest continued they began throwing stones at government buildings and a U.N. office, said Sarwer Hussaini, a spokesman for the provincial police. He said the police were firing into the air to try to disperse the crowd.

The U.N. confirmed in a statement that its Kunduz compound was attacked, but said all its staff in Kunduz and in the country were unhurt and accounted for. The statement thanked Afghan security forces for their quick response to the assault.

NBC News' Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube and The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Run the words 'Am I too old for video games?' in Google and you'll see a whole list of forlorn-sounding people pleading for answers on Yahoo! Answers, each hungrier for validation than the last. Six years ago, one chap said, "I want to buy myself a PSP or Nintendo DS but I'm afraid I'm too old to be playing video games because I'm twenty-five." Last month, a financially stable twenty-two year old confessed that he had told himself he would probably just stop liking them by twenty.

For many, video games are still a source of guilt, a masturbatory affliction that needs overcoming regardless of the fact that video games are now a multi-billion dollar industry that has been declared worthy of the rights accorded by the First Amendment. We've definitely come a long way but you still don't talk about video games if you want to get laid.

A Time to Level Up

CNN Contributor William J Bennett is a prime example of someone who sees video games as a part of the problem with our generation. The author of 'The Book of Man: Readings on the Path of Manhood', Bennett was the U.S Secretary of Education from 1985 to 1988 and the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy Under President George H.W Bush.

In an article entitled 'Why Men Are In Trouble?', Bennett observed that 'while women are graduating college and finding good jobs, too many men are not going to work, not getting married and not raising families.'.

?We may need to say to a number of our twenty-something men, "Get off the video games five hours a day, get yourself together, get a challenging job and get married." It's time for men to man up. ?

But what about women that play games? Should they be held to the same standards? After all, a lot of us play games. I have proof. Better yet, I have statistics. Last year, The Entertainment Software Association reported that 42% of gamers out there are female, 29% of gamers are over the age of 50 and that there are more adult women playing games than there are adolescent male gamers. We're everywhere, Mr. Bennett and we're made of all sorts: precocious iPhone kids, middle-aged women obsessed with the latest Zynga clone, Wii fans, fetching young professional gamers. The list goes on. Sure, we're graduating from college and finding good jobs, but we're also playing a hell of a lot of video games as well.

And these days, women are also busy making them too. Amy Hennig headed the 150-person team responsible for the Uncharted franchise. Christine Love challenged the world with games like Digital: a Love Story and Analogue: A Hate Story. Kellee Santiago is the president of thatgamecompany and the producer of Journey. Kim Swift made Portal a reality. If women are truly becoming emancipated and are out there proving themselves better than their male counterparts and are growing progressively more immersed in the culture of video games, does this mean men are falling behind because they're not playing enough of them?

More importantly, does it mean that video games are not the problem?

My Gaming Generation

An anonymous source from the world of competitive Starcraft II laughed derisively when I asked if there was ever a time to put the video games away with the Legos. ?I'm not ever going to stop playing games. I might stop playing them the way I do now, where they not only consume a very large part of my time but also a very large part of my thoughts. But I'm not going to stop.?

?My 40+ masseuse and I bonded over Star Wars: The Old Republic and she put it so well: "I can't quite keep up with all the young people playing, and I stick mostly to guild management and raiding, but the social contacts from gaming are incredible because not only will you meet so many different people but you have a hobby that is on-demand and fun to share with them."

She enthused, ?Especially with E-sports being on the rise, I personally will try to stay involved in the scene -- if not as a gamer, as a veteran of games. Growing out of games could be likened to growing out of football - you might not always be able to keep up with the kids, but there is so much more to it than just playing hardcore.?

Not every advocate of gaming is someone in the industry. A research technician by day and a member of New York's subterranean dance culture by night, Chill teaches popping at the PMT dance studio on 14^th Street Manhattan. ?It's just like dance. People stay in it as long as their interest holds them in the face of other obligations and negative experiences. That argument of 'out-growing' it has more to do with the individual's experience and/or fatigue from the process.?

Flippantly, the Inhumanoids Crew member commented. ?Personally, I've been playing games since Pong and that light gun game that came with it in the 80's. In the last decade, I've made it a rule to not spend more than $300 on a console. I don't make money off playing games, so I'm following a self-made policy on how much to invest in it. Fun, however, is a necessary aspect of life for any healthy mind.?

Jack Cayless, a London-based full-time comic artist and creator of Chimneyspeak concurred. ? Too much of anything can be detrimental to a person's health whether it's mental or physical. Seems like we can't go a month without another tragic death because of too much gaming. But I think that stuff can be easily handled with just a touch of personal responsibility, y'know??

?So I think gaming's as valid a past time as any other, if not more so for the social and interactive aspects, but sittin' on your arse for 15 hours while tryin' to grind levels is gonna be as detrimental to your health as sittin' on your arse for 15 hours doing anything else.? He noted candidly.

?I wouldn't say that abandoning your method of leisure can be classified as 'growing up'. It's analogous to 'growing up' by stopping fishing, or playin' basketball. Same thing, really.?

A Time For Action and Understanding

The problem here is branding.

Mass media is rife with negative portrayals of video games. Often depicted as unfortunates incapable of maintaining social lives, the term 'gamer' has become synonymous with the word 'loser'. Gamers inhabit their parents' basements. Gamers have no jobs. Gamers are physically unattractive and oblivious to the concept of personal hygiene. Gamers are terrorists.

It's no wonder the concept of gamer is difficult to understand, considering that it is still evolving. There are no precedents. Two generations ago, video games were a little more than a twinkle in someone's eye; blocky pixels powered by computers the size of a room. Our society has only just begun to grow accustomed to the presence of video games. We're still learning. We're still familiarizing ourselves with the idea that video games are a legitimate form of entertainment, that it isn't a passing fad steeped in problems. It doesn't help that human beings are such visual beings. What you see is what you get. And what is to be expected when we are constantly accosted by images of people dying from extended gaming sessions? What are our grandparents to believe when political figures declare war against violent video games?

Is it time to grow up and stop playing?

No.

But it is time that we look beyond the stuff we see in the news and see gaming for what it is. Across the world, schoolteachers and soccer moms nurture virtual crops and play competitive Bejeweled. Corporate executives dabble with iPhone titles to pass the time. Children and working adults alike collect Nintendo DS street passes. Teenagers make a career out of their passions. However, these people are still largely invisible. Not everyone watches eSports on TV. Not everyone has learned to associate the idea of video games with the concept of healthy, functional adults.

But the voices of those who do understand are getting louder.

Investing in Consumer Debt for Retirement

Saving for retirement is key if you want to ensure a certain standard of living once you leave the working world for good. ?That means saving and investing your money wisely while you still have time to make a difference.

While there are many different places to invest retirement savings, many people turn to the stock market for the best return on their money. That?s not the only way to get a good return. In fact, diversifying your retirement investment is the best way to maximize your profit and lower the risk. Investing in consumer debt is one way to achieve this.

?

How To Invest in Consumer Debt

One way to invest in consumer debt is to make loans to individuals, perhaps family and friends, and then collect interest on their payments. However, there are downsides to this method. Not only do you risk not getting your money back, but you also risk ruining a personal relationship.

You can invest in consumer debt and keep your friends by investing via a peer-to-peer or P2P network. There are currently two big players in this arena: Prosper.com and LendingClub.com. P2P networks act as middlemen between individuals looking for loans and individuals who have the money to fund them. Borrowers often go to a P2P network to avoid big banks. The network vets the borrowers through a qualification process and collects a portion of the interest paid on loans.

?

How It Works

Both the major P2P networks operate similarly. You start by choosing an amount to invest, or loan. You can either loan a lump sum to one person, for example, if wanted to lend to someone you know, but wanted to legitimize the transaction. Or you can spread your investment among several different loans. The network can also automatically invest for you if you choose the amount you want to invest in each loan and the credit risk you?re willing to accept.

You make money on the loan by receiving interest payments. The amount of interest you receive is based on the borrower?s credit risk as determined by the P2P network. Each borrower is given a letter rating that indicates their default risk. Lower letters, e.g. A, typically indicates a lower risk while bigger letters, like F, show a higher risk.

The riskier the borrower, the higher the interest rate and the more interest you receive. However, those higher interest rate loans also have a higher risk of default. A borrower defaulting on their loan is similar to a stock that plummets and you lose what you had invested in that loan. You can lessen the impact of default and maximize your return by spreading your investment among high and low risk loans. Annual returns of 10% are widely reported.

Investing in debt via peer-to-peer lending is a relatively new concept for many people. As with all other investments, you should thoroughly research the investment before you put money in. And, don?t put all your money in the investment upfront. Start with a small amount so you can see how it works and figure out the loan amount and rating that works best for you. Then, once you?re comfortable, you can increase your investment amount to increase you earnings!

UN nuclear inspectors to press Iran on weapons

In this frame made from TV Herman Nackaerts, of the International Atomic Energy Agency, speaks to reporters at the airport in Vienna, Sunday, Feb. 19 2012.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) ? U.N. nuclear inspectors starting a two-day visit to Tehran on Monday sought to meet Iranian nuclear scientists and visit a key military facility as they try to gauge allegations that Iran is pushing toward making an atomic weapon.

The trip is the second in less than a month by the International Atomic Energy Agency team, reflecting growing concerns over alleged weapons experiments ? something Iran has so far both denied and refused to discuss.

Herman Nackaerts, a senior U.N. nuclear official, said in Vienna before the team departed on Sunday that he hoped for progress in the talks but his careful choice of words suggested little expectation the meeting will be successful.

The trip came as Iran announced air defense wargames to practice protecting nuclear and other sensitive sites, the latest in a series of military maneuvers viewed as a message to the West that Iran is prepared both to defend itself against an armed strike and to retaliate.

The U.S. and Israel have not ruled out military action against Iran's nuclear program, which they say is geared toward making weapons. Iran denies the charges and insists the program is for peaceful purposes only, such as power generation.

Iran's state radio said Monday the IAEA inspectors hope to meet Iranian nuclear scientists and visit the Parchin military complex. The report said the IAEA had requested to visit Parchin, an Iranian military base and conventional weapons development facility outside of Tehran. The site has also been suspected of housing a secret underground facility used for Iran's nuclear program, a claim denied by Iranian authorities.

IAEA inspectors visited the site in 2005, but went to only one of four areas of potential interest within the grounds. At the time, the nuclear watchdog did not report any unusual activities but the Parchin site was prominently mentioned in the agency's report last year.

The report asserted that Iran constructed "a large explosives containment vessel" in which to conduct experiments on triggering a nuclear explosion, apparently 11 years ago, adding that it had satellite images "consistent with this information."

"Whatever the reasoning of the agency is, it proves the IAEA is not loyal to its previous commitments," the Iranian radio said. The tone of the commentary suggested the visit to the military complex would likely be denied.

The IAEA visit comes as Iran last week announced what it described as key advancements in its nuclear program, inserting the first domestically made fuel rod into a research reactor in Tehran and installing a new generation of Iranian-made centrifuges at the country's main uranium enrichment facility in the central town of Natanz.

Beyond concerns about the purported weapons work, Washington and its allies want Iran to halt uranium enrichment, which they believe could eventually lead to weapons-grade material and the production of nuclear weapons. Iran has been enriching uranium up to 20 percent, while uranium enriched to more than 90 percent can be used for a nuclear warhead.

The IAEA team wants to talk to key Iranian scientists suspected of working on an alleged weapons program. They also hope to break down opposition to their plans to inspect documents related to nuclear work and secure commitments from Iranian authorities to allow future visits.

The IAEA summarized its information last November in a 13-page document drawing on 1,000 pages of intelligence. It stated then for the first time that some of the alleged experiments can have no other purpose than developing nuclear weapons.

Iran has denied alleged weapons experiments for nearly four years, saying they are based on "fabricated documents" provided by a "few arrogant countries" ? a phrase authorities in Iran often use to refer to the U.S. and its allies.

Also Monday, Iran's official news agency reported that the military had begun a four-day air defense war game dubbed "Sarollah," or "God's Revenge," in the south of the country.

Anti-aircraft batteries, radar, and warplanes will be involved in the maneuvers aimed at increasing coordination between the regular military and the powerful Revolutionary Guard in defending sensitive facilities including nuclear sites, IRNA reported.

The exercises will be held over 73,000 square miles (190,000 square kilometers) near the port of Bushehr, the site of Iran's lone nuclear power plant.

Iran has held multiple air, land, and sea maneuvers in recent months as the tensions increase.

Top 10 Women Entrepreneurs? Empowerment Tips

Article by Ponn Sabra

1. Enlightenment ? Have Faith.

In a Women?s Entrepreneur Success Survey I conducted, the #1 category chosen out of 44 to define ?Success? was ?Faith?. It can be assumed that accountability to God, or a higher purpose, helps you work with strong values, ethics and morals; based on charity, kindness, compassion, and the genuine passion to help others. Also, having faith may help you learn from your failures quicker, have less fear, and take more educated risks, because every experience (good or bad) is one step closer to goal attainment for all the right reasons.

2. Empowerment of Self ? The Ability to Chose.

Empowerment is about learning there are choices, in which you have the right to be thehealthiest and happiest person you can be today. One critical choice in the self-empowerment process is to enter into self-discovery process that leads to self-acceptance and results in self-love. You will reach your personal and business? greatest potential, once you master this equation: Self-Love = Self-Discovery + Self-Acceptance.

3. Exercise Balance with Your Family.

Since your family gives you the most personal fulfillment, it is important to always prioritize your business accordingly. Choose to live life with your family, not because of, or for them by making excuses to yourself, such as ?work comes first?. After almost facing death, I learned that I must always: Work Wisely + Play Plenty = Rest Reassured.

4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks.

As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network ? the true Power of Power Networks.

5. Experience Success through Principles That Work.

Rather than re-invent the success cycle; read, study and try different principles proven to have worked in the numerous business-improvement resources available to you. Choose to learn something(S) new every single day.

Give this one a try: The Empowerment Equation to Success:

Desire + Action = Success

Action = 5 A?s: Acquisition, Affirmative Attitude, Accountability, Asking, and Accomplish.

Visit EmpowerWomenNow.com often for updated professional empowerment tools as well.

6. Exclusive Business Brand.

Brand yourself as the exclusive business in your target market. The more you invest your time, money, efforts, and human resource in developing your Unique Selling Proposition, once your clients start rolling in?their loyalty will last for their lifetime and that of their offspring. The power of being the first and only means you have no competition. Therefore, your clients have no one else to turn to. Always chose to be a specialist at something?not a generalist in everything. Dare to be Your Best Self! [Beware: Once you start succeeding at what you do, you WILL have competition. At which time, it's critical to build alliances...not enemies.]

7. Establish Systems to Maximize Time.

You must establish as many systems as possible (i.e., priority planning, to do?s, office hours, meeting days, etc.) to be time-efficient. Streamline all your business protocols for maximum productivity that includes but not limited to your daily, weekly, monthly and annual duties and responsibilities.

8. Expand Your Marketing Reach.

Diversify your online and offline marketing portfolio. Always be open to try something new, different and creative, but never stop at a one-time opportunity. Repetitive efforts are rewarded the most. Areas include: website, blog, article submission, local and internet press release campaign, venture partnerships, link exchanges, charity sponsorships, public speaking, radio interviews, teleseminars, volunteerism, search engine optimization/marketing, building power networks, and hosting local events.

9. Experiment for a Positive Bottom Line.

For every new formula, system, or marketing campaign you try, you must always test and track your results. Stay accountable to your bottom-line by being patient enough to see results and persistent enough to gain the most from your efforts. Don?t give up too easily, and don?t let dead-weight pull you down. Always be cost-conscious.

10. Envisioning Goes beyond Goal Setting.

Envisioning your goals means being able to apply all your senses to the moment when your goal is achieved. Basically, you need to touch, taste, smell, feel, and hear your goal already accomplished, so that moment becomes so vivid in your mind, that you will become happy and empowered right now.Your positive focus will fill your workdays with fun, and you?ll always be proud of your efforts rather than disappointed with your unfinished tasks. Coming from a Type-A personality, this is easier said than done; but having just written this down, I?m now accountable to you. Now, I challenge you to stay empowered and keep our power network alive!

Payroll tax vote exposes divisions within each party

Despite the bipartisan support for the payroll tax bill, blocks in both parties had reservations: Republicans angry that the measure was not paid for, and Democrats worried about the health of Social Security.

In a rush to recess, Congress on Friday extended a payroll tax holiday and other expiring measures through the end of the year in rare bipartisan votes that nevertheless exposed internal divisions in both parties.

Skip to next paragraph

In addition to averting a 2 percent hike in payroll taxes that would have been effective March 1, the bill also blocked a 27 percent hike in reimbursements to physicians treating Medicare patients and extended jobless benefits for some 13 million unemployed Americans.

Despite broad support for all three measures, the path to a final deal was difficult and protracted. Moreover, the votes in both the House and Senate signaled rifts within party ranks on core principles.

On the House side, 91 Republicans broke with their own leadership to oppose extending a $100 billion payroll tax cut without spending cuts to pay for it. The bill passed 293 to 132, with the critical support of 147 Democrats, one more than the number of Republicans who voted in favor.

The Senate passed the measure with the minimum 60 votes required to block a filibuster. This close vote in the Senate came as somewhat of a surprise, since a two-month extension of this package had passed the Senate last December on a strong, bipartisan vote, 89 to 10.

At the time, the sticking point had been the House, where GOP lawmakers, in the majority, tried to hold out for a full year extension, paid for with spending cuts. Up against a Dec. 31 deadline, Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio informed his caucus that they had no option but to back down to avoid a payroll tax hike that was sure to hurt GOP prospects in November elections.

Had Congress failed to act, some 160 million Americans stood to lose a tax break worth about $1,000 a year.

?This shows that even in an election year, this divided Congress can still accomplish something to help boost the economy,? Sen. Charles Schumer (D) of New York, who is charged with messaging for Senate Democrats, said in a statement Friday.

When Congress took up the issue again in 2012, House Republicans again tried to hold out for spending cuts to fully offset the $160 billion cost of the package. But facing a new expiration deadline on Feb. 29, House GOP leaders gave up on Monday and agreed to extend the payroll tax without spending cuts to pay for it.

But they did win significant concessions from Democrats in negotiations to extend unemployment insurance and the so-called ?doc fix.?? These include:

? Cutting $5 billion from a program from President Obama?s signature health-care reform, targeted to cut smoking and obesity. The savings help fund payment rates for Medicare.

Essential Facts About Sports and Exercise Safety | Article Ranks

It?s rare for anyone to exercise regularly or participate in sports and never experience any kind of injury. Any injury can be painful and can mean keeping you from your favorite sport for a while, and some can be truly serious. Too many people fail to consider safety issues when engaged in sports or exercise, as they underestimate the risks involved. Naturally, the best way to avoid injuries will vary somewhat from one sport or exercise to another. No matter what the activity is, however, there are two parts to the equation. First of all, we have to consider what can be done prior to starting the exercise or sport. The other aspect to look at is what you can do while actually playing or working out to stay safe and healthy. The sports and exercise safety tips we?ll be covering in this article can help reduce accidents, injuries and other mishaps.

One popular way of thinking is that a strong stomach protects your back from injury. While not all popular ideas about fitness are reliable, in this case there?s truth behind the belief. No matter what your fitness goals, it?s certainly good to have a well defined stomach. If you?re a regular participant in any sport or exercise program, you surely want to strengthen your stomach muscles. There?s no need to get completely preoccupied with how your abs look; just make sure you pay attention to this area. As long as you consistently do some good exercises that focus on the stomach, you?ll see improvements in this region.

There is nothing quite like the sense of power we occasionally feel when engaging in sports or just working out. The psychological process involved with this is very beneficial and okay to experience. What happens is your bloodstream gets a burst of adrenaline which makes you feel this way. Your body is your temple meaning you should know your limits and stay within them.

If you are motivated to do well, and are physically fit to do so, you can have a different result. You may try too much one day, sometimes motivated by the way you think or feel. The obvious problem with this is you can injure your self. Common sense actually plays a large role in whether or not you get hurt.

Physical exercise can be very beneficial, but also detrimental to us if we are not paying attention to the needs of our bodies. The way you feel is directly connected to how you process the information that your brain is picking up from your body.

Those that develop this skill do so by becoming conscious of the needs of the body system. Another important aspect of this is heeding what your body is telling you. It is not enough to listen and know, but you need to act on it and obey what you are being told. By not doing too much, you can spare yourself physical and mental agony by not going too far.

Issues like avoiding the effects of dehydration involve listening to your body, being aware of the dangers and taking appropriate measures. One important point to remember is that if you are experiencing thirst; you are most likely somewhat dehydrated. Drink non-sugared fluids, water is best, at regular intervals when you are exercising or practicing your sport. If you are suffering a headache or an are a little light headed you should consider this a symptom of being over heated.
