Sifting through the bright prints and nostalgic photos, I am searching for just the right piece of art to grace my living room wall. And my options are plenty – bordering on excess – as I stroll through the jam-packed aisles of the Picture Frame Factory. Proudly serving art enthusiasts since 1977, and now ensconced in their new Dufferin Street location, the factory is perfectly situated among the trendy fashionable stores and haute cuisine restaurants of Toronto's Queen West neighbourhood.
"It's great to be so close to galleries and artists," says owner Tufan Ugur, who took over the family business after graduating with a business degree. "They're our most frequent and loyal customers."
To underscore his point, I've already met two artists in the store - who also happen to be employees of the Picture Frame Factory. As one of the few framers left in the city, Tufan takes pride in the workmanship and commitment to quality he can authentically stand behind.
"We are a full scale operation; we do everything in house. We don't just take orders. We have retail in front, operations in the back."
I've seen his back room, where highly skilled framing technicians tend to custom orders. The overall atmosphere is one of camaraderie and family, further emphasized by a dusty, vintage frame I find winningly displayed on a shelf in the store.
"Is this you?" I ask Tufan, looking at an instantly recognizable photo, likely taken in his elementary school years.
"It is," he replies with a smile. There is no mistaking it; this family owned business wears its heart on its sleeve… and displays their family photos in their store.
The Picture Frame Factory is open Monday to Saturday. Find them at their new location at 450 Dufferin Street.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
This game will be appreciated by anyone who enjoys the original Cranium and has exhausted the cards of their first game.
The game is played largely the same way as the original. Up to 4 teams move around the board by successfully completing challenges in 4 categories: Data Head, Star Performer, Word Worm and Creative Cat. The board layout is the same, though it's slightly more decorative this time. If memory of the original serves me correctly, the board is also smaller this time around.
All of the original activities from these 4 categories are present. However, they have also added new activities and changed one of the old activities, slightly.
In Data Head, they've added an activity called "Odd Couple," wherein you choose the two items in a list that don't belong with the others.
In Star Performer, they've added an activity called "Slideshow." In this activity one team member moves the arms and legs of another silent team member as you would a marionette. Think of it as charades with a twist. The goal is obviously to get the other players to guess what the puppeteer is trying to demonstrate with the puppet.
In Word Worm, they've changed "Gnilleps" to be a team game, meaning every player on the team takes alternating turns, adding one letter at a time to spell the word in reverse. They've also added "Mindmeld," a word association game where two or more team mates are each given a topic and have to write down 3 words that immediately come to mind when considering the topic.Read more ›
This being the 'fancier' version was nice, though I don't really remember what the original set looked like.
The pieces are interesting and have hats or hair you can put on them, however the pieces are thus top heavy and are constantly falling over, especially anywhere near the fold on the board. We may just play without addon hair & hats next time and hope the little characters can manage to remain upright longer.

Jurgen Klinsmann says his best position is center back. (Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)STANFORD, Calif. — On Wednesday, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann spoke to the media for the first time in a week as the team keeps going in its pre-World Cup camp ahead of next Tuesday's friendly against Azerbaijan in San Francisco. With the arrival of Jermaine Jones on Tuesday, all 30 players are now in camp with seven cuts needing to be made by June 2.Some highlights from the media session:• The center back competition is wide openKlinsmann couldn't have said it more succinctly: "We have to figure out a couple pieces still on the back line."That could mean as many as three spots, since Matt Besler is a favorite for starting at center back while Fabian Johnson is likely to start at right or left back. Klinsmann added another wrinkle when he talked about Geoff Cameron, who could play at center back, defensive midfielder or right back (where he played for Stoke City most of the recent Premier League season)."I've said over three years: I think his best position is center back," Klinsmann said. "And it's good to know he can play right back, too, and good to know he can play a No. 6, too. But his best fit, his best game for himself is the center back role." World Cup 2014: Where does Geoff Cameron fit on USMNT? SI's Grant Wahl explains that Geoff Cameron's versatility may make things difficult for Jurgen Klinsmann as he figures out where to insert him into the lineup. That's a signal that Cameron is competing directly for the starting CB role with Omar González, who has been the incumbent starter for several months but has had some bobbles in games as well. Other players competing for that spot include Clarence Goodson, John Brooks and even Michael Parkhurst, who has been playing center back for the Columbus Crew despite being used as a fullback internationally.PHOTOS: USA's World Cup qualifying path to Brazil• The expected date for roster cuts remains up in the airFIFA's deadline for cutting down to 23 players is June 2, but it's possible Klinsmann could make his cuts earlier or cut different players on different days. He said he didn't want to commit to anything as of now."We obviously discuss [the depth chart] daily," Klinsmann said. "It's part of our job for our work, but I don't have a specific date in mind."• Klinsmann gives the U.S. players some freedomEvery national team coach is different about how much liberty they give their players during a long camp. In World Cups past, it seems like there always used to be a story about some old-school national team coach banning his players from having sex around the tournament, which seems, well, sort of ludicrous (Well, not to Mexico coach Miguel Herrera, who has banned his players from having sex and consuming alcohol during the tournament, for instance, according to Mexican publication Reforma).We're a week into this camp, and if the U.S. players were totally under lock and key there might be a rebellion. But that's not the case. DaMarcus Beasley said the players would have Wednesday night free to have dinner wherever they wanted, even outside the hotel, and Klinsmann said even when players are required to eat dinner at the hotel training table they have a time window and not a set start time.FIGHT FOR 23: Crowded midfield battle leaves Klinsmann with many optionsOn most days, the players have been eating lunch at the Stanford dining facilities."That's pretty cool," said Beasley. "You get to interact with the kids here and eat their food. And the food's been pretty good at Stanford. We've been putting in a lot of work, so [Klinsmann] knows when to give us a rest and when not to."Added Klinsmann: "The hotel is really top. We couldn't be in a better place. The climate is dry and fresh, and we can push the guys. That's what the camp here at Stanford is about, it's to push them to their limits."But Klinsmann does appear to understand that the U.S. players are different from those in other countries. That's what Beasley thinks, anyways."Any coach who coaches our team knows: We're different than any other country in the world in how we go about our business and go about things on the field," Beasley said. "We don't wear the same thing every day. As long as it's Nike, you can wear what you want."For us to be comfortable and get the best [out of the team] on the field, we have to be comfortable off the field as well." 2014 World Cup: USMNT Asst. Coach Herzog sizes up the 'group of death' US Men's National Team assistant coach Andreas Herzog tells SI's Grant Wahl what the team needs to do to get out of the group. More Planet Futbol

Real-time deformation and fracture in a game environment
Deformation (engineering)
In materials science, deformation is a change in the shape or size of an object due to an applied force (the deformation energy in this case is transferred through work) or a change in temperature (the deformation energy in this case is transferred through heat). The first case can be a result of tensile (pulling) forces, compressive (pushing) forces, shear, bending or torsion (twisting).

Real-time computer graphics
Real-time computer graphics is the subfield of computer graphics focused on producing and analyzing images in real time. The term is most often used in reference to interactive 3D computer graphics, typically using a GPU, with video games the most noticeable users. The term can also refer to anything from rendering an application's GUI to real-time image processing and image analysis.
more from Wikipedia
A game is structured playing, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements.

Computational physics
Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical algorithms to solve problems in physics for which a quantitative theory already exists. It is often regarded as a subdiscipline of theoretical physics but some consider it an intermediate branch between theoretical and experimental physics. Physicists often have a very precise mathematical theory describing how a system will behave.
more from Wikipedia
A fracture is the (local) separation of an object or material into two, or more, pieces under the action of stress. The word fracture is often applied to bones of living creatures (that is, a bone fracture), or to crystals or crystalline materials, such as gemstones or metal. Sometimes, in crystalline materials, individual crystals fracture without the body actually separating into two or more pieces.

Yes, I was new to the gold coin market and, yes, I believe Blanchard took full advantage of my ignorance. The salesman asked, "Have you ever purchased gold coins before?". To which I answered, "No". I was lazy in believing that such a competitive market would keep prices roughly equal among competitors. I was wrong. I wrote several letters of complaint to Blanchard's management hierarchy from the top down, but they never responded.
I will never deal with Blanchard again. I made subsequent online purchases from Tulving, APMEX, and Gainesville Coin, and I have no complaints with those firms' prices and performance.
I have noticed that Blanchard now, 3 years after my dealings with them, appears to offer online webstore purchasing for some of their coins at fixed prices quoted on their webstore page. However, the fine print I've seen throughout their website states that your order is not complete until Blanchard calls you back to "confirm" your order and "lock in" your price. I would exercise extreme caution during that call-back against the possibility of attempts to change the webstore prices or "up-selling" to other higher priced "investment grade" coins.

#1 Consumer Comment
Collection Values Vary Greatly between Asks and Bids
SUBMITTED: Monday, July 14, 2014POSTED: Monday, July 14, 2014
Blanchard and Company does not indicate what the value of the coin value being up 55 % is compared to. The values they place on their coins are not comparable to reputable coin dealers I check with after the fact of dealing with them myself.
I found that their "ask" price for their coins were always hire than by 25 to 35% in same day comparisons for the same coins of other dealers. I have also found that the claim of a coin value being up 55% does not necessarily constitute a profit for a client who wishes to sell a coin back for their bid price. The claim made does not clarify between the two and obviously could be used to decieve a person into a sense of well-being or that their collection has gained value.
Another issue not made manifest in Blanchard and Company's claims is that the commissions taken constitute a double loss for the customer. If they sell a coin for 15% over premium at their "ask" price and then buy it back at 15 % under premium at their "bid" price, then the client has lost 30% over the course of doing business with Blanchard and Company. In otherwords, either way, Blanchard and Company makes a profit on their client which is a good reason to be in business for them. But it is only good for the client if they make a profit of same comparison. If Blanchard and Company's "ask" price is inflated in comparison to coin values posted on puplications like the Certified News Letter Blue Sheet, then Blanchard and Company clients are not getting the deal account executives might claim they are giving.

No Details to contradict original complain

It is great that some people might have had wonderful experiences with Blanchard and Company, Inc. But their experiences don't nullify a report that does not look good. The rebuttle needs to explain why Blanchard and Company, Inc's Account Executive dealings in each and every case did not end in enhancing and protecting the wealth of the person who trust them to live up to their claim. My experience is that the company has not lived up to this claim in my personal transactions with them.

It has been my experience that Blanchard is, by far, the best company to do business with. Their professionalism, prompt attention to my needs, and portfolio recommendations have been outstanding. Their willingness and capacity to liquidate metals when I have needed to, has been one of the key reasons why I continue to use them above the competition. I have never been misled, misguided, or lied to.
I have always been treated with respect and honestly feel as though the company has my best interest at heart. I have actually formed a friendship with my Account Executive, to the point of us knowing the names of each others' children. I am of the firm belief that you get what you pay for. I am happy to pay a small premium over the competition to have the peace of mind of dealing with a reputable company that charges fair prices for their high-quality products, and that has the ability to buy my metals back at a moment's notice. I have recommended many of my friends and family to Blanchard and will continue to do so.

From Blanchard and Company, Inc.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 05, 2011POSTED: Tuesday, April 05, 2011
I am sorry that you did not have a pleasurable experience with our company. I can assure you that our number one concern is customer satisfaction.
Since I do not know the specific details of your order, other than what you provided, the only thing I can conclude is that the coins you purchased from Blanchard are now up over 55% since you purchased the coins. Not bad for a 3 year hold.
As for the lack of response from upper management, I am not sure what happened and I apologize for that.
If you would like to discuss your situation or additional concerns, please do not hesitate to call me directly - 800-880-4653.

Good. Simply good.
To tell you the truth, i was a little skeptical about the whole Silent Film thing but it turned out pretty nicely. The graphics were good overall. I really liked the drawings and i found them a little scary, and they helped with the mood. I would have liked to see more animation though. I liked your style, and the mood that came along with it. Animating style was pretty unqiue, and the mood was just a little bit freaky but definitely cool. Song was good, but thats all there was to the sound. I know its becuase its a silent film but to fix the sound problem, make it longer to allow more songs to happen. Audio quality was definitely good though.
Overall it was good, with a few minor things to improve on. Keep it up though, you got skillz. 4/5
i really enjoyed it,little sarcastic and i liked the bad mood of it..just great
It was a good flash and it was kinda creepy but that was cool, i like the story here and how that girl looked. The sound was simple and went well with this. The story is a bit sad, but then again its creepy how it ended but dark stuff is always entertaining to watch and i liked it very much...

The Santa Fe National Forest lifted campfire and smoking restrictions Thursday after widespread rain across the forest and fire danger decreased. The forest implemented Stage I fire restrictions on July 15 based on dry conditions and higher-than-normal temperatures.
Forest managers use several criteria to determine when to lift fire restrictions, including current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels and available firefighting resources. The arrival of monsoonal moisture has eased the dry conditions that led to restrictions and decreased fire danger to moderate.
Although Stage I restrictions on campfires and smoking will be lifted, forest managers urge visitors to continue to use caution around campfires and other potential ignition sources by following campfire safety procedures.
The movie "Granite Mountain" will be shooting a large scene in Los Alamos on Aug. 5 and is seeking paid extras to work in the film.
The production, starring Josh Brolin, Jeff Bridges and Miles Teller, is the story of the real-life Granite Mountain Hotshots, an elite group of wildland firefighters that courageously battled one of the worst wildfires in history to save an Arizona town.
The production is looking for men, women and children, dogs and cats, people with horse trailers and boats and cars.
The crew is casting police officers, fire fighters and families evacuating their homes. Email a photo with name, height, weight and phone number to email@example.com. Put Los Alamos in the subject line. Also include the year, color and make of your car.
State prosecutors dismissed their case against a Los Alamos man that claimed he drove a vehicle off a 200 ft. cliff with his then girlfriend as a passenger.
The crash occurred near Anderson Overlook on N.M. 502 on Aug. 25, 2014.
Zachary Sanchez, 32, was indicted by a Santa Fe grand jury in March of 2015 on charges of great bodily harm by vehicle (Driving while under influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug) and driving while license revoked (DWI related).
Sanchez was scheduled to go on trial in August or September. However, Sanchez was sentenced to three years' probation July 26 for a DWI charge when he was arrested in April.
Though injured, the couple survived the 2014 crash. Paramedics found Sanchez inside the vehicle and girlfriend was found outside the vehicle in critical condition.
"There was a lot of technical evidence in this case so we hired an expert and based off of his opinion and the evidence we've had in this case we could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt he was the driver," said Santa Fe Assistant District Attorney Natalie Perry.
The Santa Fe DA's office will not pursue any new or different charges against Sanchez in this case.
Former University of New Mexico cross country and track & field standout Courtney Frerichs claimed a pair of Mountain West awards on Wednesday as the conference named her Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year.
Frerichs, a native of Nixa, Missouri, had a stellar 2015-16 campaign in cross country and track & field for the Lobos, guiding the UNM women's cross country team to its first national title last November before winning the NCAA title in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in record time in June.
She also shined in the classroom, compiling a 4.16 GPA and MW Academic All-Conference and MW Scholar-Athlete honors as she pursued a master's degree in community health organization.
While at UNM, Frerichs ran to two national titles in one year, winning a team title and an individual title as a Lobo.
She helped the UNM women's cross country to its first national title in November, taking fourth place overall as the highest finisher in program history.
After sitting out the indoor season, Frerichs continued to shine outdoors, twice running under 9:30 in the steeplechase before capping her collegiate career by setting the NCAA record at the NCAA Championships.
Uncertainty about the commercial viability of an innovation or idea — in addition to the cost of renting or buying the machinery needed to build a working prototype — has stifled many an entrepreneurial impulse. But the makerspace movement that's gaining a foothold in several New Mexico communities is trying to change that.
Makerspaces offer access to expensive equipment and expert mentoring that innovators need to turn a concept into something tangible. Their advocates see them as cauldrons of entrepreneurism and economic development — as early-stage business incubators.
Nurturing creativity
New Mexico is home to half a dozen makerspaces, many of them only a few years old.
Los Alamos Makers calls itself "a scientific playground for all ages," and its members can use all sorts of industrial, mechanical, laboratory and electronic equipment that the organization has procured in its two years of existence.
Lots of people have ideas, said founder Prisca Tiasse, a former biologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, but they lack the means to invest in something that might not go anywhere. "That is a major hurdle for entrepreneurism."
The 2016 presidential contest is down to two people. That's what Deborah Maestas, Republican chair, would have us believe.
In a July 17 op-ed she called for "Republicans and conservatives" to unite behind Donald Trump. "Trump's success represents a shift that our country desperately needed," she said. However laughable Maestas assertion in the op-ed, she was just doing her job.
But, well, no. While unhappiness is everywhere, more is happening here than an either-or choice. It ain't over 'til it's over, as Yogi Berra said.
A phone call came a couple of weeks ago from my sister-in-law in southwest Wisconsin. A Catholic and a Democrat, she works for a branch campus of the University of Wisconsin in a community of 12,000. She is distressed at the prospect of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump being president. Her protest vote in the Wisconsin primary was for Bernie Sanders.
After a few minutes, the topic of Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson entered the conversation, as you might expect. My wife, the Clinton supporter, gave me the phone. I said, "Policies aside, Gary is honest." The other two are serial, purposive liars, among other things.

About Ben Folds
Singer/pianist Ben Folds (born September 12, 1966, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina) is best known as the leader of the power pop trio Ben Folds Five, but has also struck out on his own as a solo artist. Despite playing in bands in high school, his musical career didn't really get off the ground until the late '80s, as a bassist for Majosha (the outfit issued such obscure releases as Party Night: Five Songs About Jesus and Shut Up and Listen to Majosha). Proving his multi-instrumental talents, Folds also played drums as a session musician in Nashville. After relocating to New York, Folds started acting again (he'd previously done some theater in high school) and signed a publishing deal with Sony Music.
Moving back to North Carolina, in 1994 Folds formed Ben Folds Five, a trio that also included bassist Robert Sledge and drummer Darren Jessee. Whereas most alternative bands of the '90s specialized in distorted teen-angst rock, the guitarless trio was a refreshing break from the norm, its sound akin to such past power popsters as Todd Rundgren, Jellyfish, and early Joe Jackson, and such piano-driven artists as Billy Joel and early Elton John. But like punk bands, Ben Folds Five put on a high-energy, blistering live show. The band was signed to the independent Caroline Records shortly afterward, resulting in its self-titled debut one year later. Due to airings of the humorous anthem "Underground" (which poked fun at the politics of the punk/alternative scene) on MTV's 120 Minutes) and constant touring, quite a buzz was stirring for the band by the time of its second album.
Released in 1997, Whatever and Ever Amen was pure pop perfection -- easily one of the year's best releases and perhaps the best power pop release of the '90s. The band's songwriting and sound had improved even further, as evidenced by such gems as "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces," "Fair," "Kate," and "Battle of Who Could Care Less," plus their whimsical tribute to breakups, "Song for the Dumped." But it was the ballad "Brick" that broke the band commercially -- unlike the majority of Ben Folds Five's material, which was upbeat, the song contained melancholic music and vocals, as the lyrics told the story of a teenage couple who decides to get an abortion (it has been speculated that the tale was autobiographical for Folds). The single didn't hit until several months after the album was released, which meant that the band stayed on the road for well over a year, playing with such notables as Dave Matthews, Beck, and as part of the 1997 H.O.R.D.E. festival -- earning Whatever platinum status.
While 1998 didn't see a new studio album by the band, Ben Folds Five's former label issued a 16-track rarities collection (Naked Baby Photos) as Folds released his first solo album, Volume 1, under the pseudonym Fear of Pop. Although the album went largely unnoticed, it included the song "In Love," which included overly dramatic vocals from none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner (comparable in approach to Shatner's must-hear 1968 album, The Transformed Man) and which was performed on The Conan O'Brien Show shortly after the album's release. Ben Folds Five regrouped with 1999's The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, which was a more mature work than its predecessors, although the energetic leadoff single, "Army," showed that Folds' humorous approach hadn't dulled at all.
Folds officially went solo again in 2001 with Rockin' the Suburbs. A series of EPs followed, with the new long-player Songs for Silverman dropping in 2005. He released Supersunnyspeedgraphic: The LP in 2006, followed by the full-length Way to Normal in 2008. In 2009 Folds contributed two songs to University A Cappella!, a collection of covers of some of Folds' best tracks by various university groups. Lonely Avenue, a collaboration with British novelist/essayist Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy), arrived in 2010, followed by the 18-track Retrospective: The Best Imitation of Myself 1995-2011, which represented Folds' first U.S. career overview. The compilation included a new song with the original Ben Folds Five, who re-formed the following year and released their fourth studio album, The Sound of the Life of the Mind, followed by Ben Folds Five Live in 2013. In 2015, Folds released So There, an eight-track collection of chamber pop originals that he recorded with New York City-based classical sextet yMusic. The album also included a performance of his "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra," with the Nashville Symphony. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

Customer Reviews
Plan Nights Around Infatuation
This app has well written, informative and accurate reviews, an upgrade over Yelp or foursquare in this regard. The guides are helpful as well because they allow one to find more nuanced categories, like where to get drinks that also has casual food options. In a way, these guides offer enhanced filtering over traditional crowd sourced review guides. The app doesn't have as many specific filtering options like an open now, or draw a boundary, or price filter; but I like this better as it means you make a night about going to the place rather than incorporating the place into ur night because of the convenience. For this reason, I like to consider the app kinda like the millennial Michelin guide.
Exemplary Critiques
Not only is this app a refreshing addition for true purists searching for exceptional cuisine, but it is also simple and well structured. Living in California, I am glad to have discovered the Infatuation, even in its infancy barely in New York. Their email, website and other media was a must follow for me as well. As far as what the team at the Infatuation has in store next, I couldn't be more ecstatic for further endeavors from (in my opinion) the best company that's happened to food since chowhound. Kudos to everyone involved and keep up the top notch work.
Significant upgrade and it's a beaut
I've been a long time fan of the Infatuation, and use their iOS app on an almost daily basis to guide my adventurous eating habits across NYC and beyond. Saw they just updated to a 2.0 on ProductHunt and couldn't be more impressed with the added value here. Guides are now in full swing among other things, and the UX is a pleasure, even more than before. Thumbs up to the Infatuation Team for getting this right; you guys are still rocking it.

Fed to reduce pace of bond buying by another $10B
WASHINGTON (AP) – Given the U.S. economy's growing strength, the Federal Reserve pushed ahead Wednesday with a plan to shrink its bond-buying program, even though the prospect of reduced stimulus and higher interest rates has rattled global markets.
The central bank said it will cut its monthly bond purchases starting in February by $10 billion to $65 billion. It also reaffirmed a plan to keep short-term rates at record lows to try to reassure investors that it will keep supporting an economy that's stronger than at any point since the recession yet remains less than fully healthy.
The Fed's decision came in a statement after the final policy meeting of Ben Bernanke, who will step down Friday after eight years as chairman. He will be succeeded by Vice Chair Janet Yellen.
Most economists expect that under Yellen, the Fed will announce a string of $10 billion monthly reductions in bond purchases at each meeting this year, concluding with a final $15 billion cut in December. Still, if the American economy were to falter, the Fed has stressed that it might suspend its pullback in bond buying so it could keep aggressively holding down long-term loan rates.
Many global investors fear that reduced Fed bond buying will raise U.S. interest rates and cause investors to move money out of emerging markets and into the United States for higher returns. Currency values in emerging economies have fallen over that concern.
In response, central banks in emerging economies, from India to Turkey to South Africa, have been acting to counter any damage from the Fed's pullback and the prospect of higher U.S. rates. They've been raising their own rates, hoping to control inflation, boost their flagging currencies and keep investors from fleeing.
But so far, those currencies have continued to weaken.
The Fed's bond purchases have been intended to keep long-term borrowing rates low to spur spending and growth. Its decision Wednesday to continue paring purchases signals the Fed's belief that the economy is showing consistent improvement. In its statement, it upgraded its assessment to say "growth in economic activity picked up in recent quarters."
On Thursday, the government will issue its first estimate of economic growth in the October-December quarter. Analysts have estimated that the economy grew at a solid 3.3 percent annual rate last quarter after an even stronger 4.1 percent annual rate from July through September.
Still, stocks fell after the Fed announced its decision. That was in part because of disappointing earnings from big U.S. companies and the jitters in emerging markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 189 points. It had been down 127 points just before the Fed's announcement. Disappointing earnings from big U.S. companies contributed to a sour mood on Wall Street. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 2.68 percent.
Some analysts said the Fed's confidence in the U.S. economy appeared to outweigh any concern that the turmoil in emerging market economies might spill over into the United States and other developed nations.
"These economies have not been driven into deep recession," Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said of the emerging economies. "Their currencies are weak but not in free fall."
The Fed made no mention of the turbulence that has rocked markets for the past week. In part, that reflects the Fed's role as a steward of the U.S. economy, not the global economy. Its dual mandate is to maximize U.S. employment and keep U.S. prices stable.
Inflation remains historically low. Consumer prices rose just 1.5 percent in 2013, below the Fed's target of 2 percent. Fed officials said in their statement Wednesday that they are watching inflation closely to ensure it doesn't fall too far. Among other concerns, ultra-low inflation raises inflation-adjusted interest rates, making it harder to pay off debts and potentially discouraging borrowing.
The Fed's bond purchases have helped fuel a huge stock market rally over the past year as investors shifted money out of low-yielding bonds and into stocks. Now that the Fed is cutting back on those bond purchases, many investors fear stocks will fall.
"Ultimately, the Fed sort of had no choice but to reduce purchases at this meeting," said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG brokerage. "If they had paused, they risked sending a signal to markets that they lacked conviction."
The action Wednesday was approved on a 10-0 vote. The last time a Fed policy statement was approved unanimously was June 2011.
The Fed's statement repeated a phrase it first used in December: The bank would hold its benchmark short-term rate near zero "well past" the time unemployment falls below 6.5 percent. The Fed noted that government spending cuts and tax increases are less of a drag on growth than last year. It also said businesses and consumers are stepping up spending.
The unemployment rate dipped from 7 percent to 6.7 percent in December, the lowest point in five years. Still, much of the decline was due to an exodus of job seekers who gave up looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.

Prime Time is ready for one more time. And ready for it to be a good time.
Eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Deion Sanders, in an early Monday morning phone call, confirmed that he has reached a contract agreement with the Baltimore Ravens and noted that he is considerably ahead of where he was in 2004, when he returned to the NFL after a three-year hiatus from the league.
ESPN.com's John Clayton reported Sunday that Sanders had agreed to a one-year deal that will pay him $1.5 million, and could be worth up to $4 million, with incentives.
"I've been in [the equivalent] of two-a-days since around June 1, when I started working out again with my trainer, so I'm basically going to have a two-month head start over where I was last year when I came back," Sanders told ESPN.com a short time before he was scheduled for a team-administered physical exam. "I feel good. Really good. And when I felt good last year, when I wasn't hurt, I played well. So, with all the training I've done to get ready again, I know I'll have some fun. It's going to be a good time."
The results of Sanders' physical are delayed until Tuesday because a surgeon was unavailable Monday.
The eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback, and a certain future Hall of Fame member, didn't sign with the Ravens until late August in 2004, had little time to prepare for the rigors of a season, and suffered through hamstring, toe and foot problems. He missed seven full games and failed to finish two others, participated in just 21 percent of the defensive snaps, but yet still intercepted three passes, second most on the roster, and returned one of the thefts a touchdown.
Sanders, who will turn 38 in August, underwent offseason toe surgery, but said that he is completely recovered from what was considered a minor procedure.
The Ravens begin two weeks of workouts on Monday and, being able to get on the field for most of the team's offseason activities, Sanders acknowledged, is a big plus. Once he determined this offseason that he still had the desire to play, that he could perform at a high level, and that he felt fine physically, Sanders said there was no doubt that he would return to the Ravens for 2005.
It is a team, Sanders said, reiterating a point he made last year, featuring several players he considers "like my brothers." And a team that he is confident can add to his collection of Super Bowl jewelry.
"From the top on down, right from [owner] Steve Bisciotti, to [general manager] Ozzie [Newsome] and [coach] Brian Billick, it's a great organization," Sanders said. "I feel like Brian Billick is one of the best coaches, best motivators, best football people that I've ever been around. He makes it fun and, for a guy like me, who still loves to play, that's what it's all about."
Sanders would not say if this will be his final NFL campaign, but hinted it might be, and strongly suggested he wants to exit the game for good on his terms. He also said his motivation for coming back in 2005 was a relatively simple one.
Given that his legacy is already established, that he will be remembered by many as the first "shut down" cornerback, and that the Hall of Fame awaits him, likely as a first-time nominee following the mandatory five-year wait period after his retirement, Sanders said there is only one reason to continue.
"The passion is still there," he said, "and that hasn't [waned]. People say, 'Well, you can't do this anymore,' or, 'This part of your game isn't the same.' But the one thing that hasn't changed is how much I enjoy playing, how much I love it. And I especially love it with this bunch of guys."
In what will be his 14th season, Sanders is expected to split time with Dale Carter in the nickel cornerback role, and might also contribute at times on returns.
For his career, Sanders has 51 interceptions, never fewer than two in any season, and also 129 passes defensed. His nine interception returns for touchdowns rank as the second most in NFL history and he has scored 22 times in all.
