We're pretty sure that Scott Foley just gets better looking every day. The Scandal actor plays a heartthrob on TV, but he was equally as handsome on the red carpet with his wife, Marika Dominczyk, at the Conjuring 2 premiere in La on Monday. Not only did he show off his sexy scruff and gorgeous smile as he posed for the cameras, but the two seemed to stare straight into our souls with their beautiful eyes. No wonder their three children are so adorable - these two make quite the couple! »

When you're sick, sometimes lying in bed all day is the last thing you want to do. And sometimes binge-watching a new series -- perhaps one you've never seen before -- is just what you need. So take a moment to get cozy, make some hot tea, put up your feet, and check out these five shows that will have you laughing, crying, and feeling better in no time.
'Downton Abbey' (2010 - 2015)
"Downton Abbey" is one great to watch when you're not feeling quite like yourself and all you want to do is be outside. The idyllic setting, music, costumes, and simplicity of early 1900s England makes your day, or days, at home ever more peaceful. On top of it all, drama of its aristocratic small town -- full of murder, mayhem, and tea service -- will have you laughing, crying, and forgetting all about your sick day. »

ABC's Scandal closed Season 5 on Thursday night with 6.7 million total viewers and a 1.8 rating (per finals), up 10 and 20 percent week-to-week to mark its best numbers since its Feb. 11 midseason premiere. That said, Scandal was down 17 and 23 percent from its previous finale.
The Shondaland drama now enters a possibly extended hiatus, amid speculation that its shortened, 16-episode Season 6 may be delayed until midseason.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead, if you have not watched the "Scandal" Season 5 finale, which aired on Thursday, May 12.
The "Scandal" finale set up the presidential election for Season 6 in ways Gladiators could have never expected. After Mellie (Bellamy Young) and Frankie Vargas (Ricardo Chavira) nabbed the presidential nominations last week, their vice presidential running mates were revealed in Thursday night's season ender.
Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) ended up being selected to run with Mellie, though he doesn't seem privy to the idea — but he's going along with it because Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) came up with the idea in order to save him. However, it seems that Rowan (Joe Morton) has a master plan to get Jake, Olivia and himself into the White House by way of Mellie's ticket. At the close of the episode, Papa Pope smiles and says "that's my girl, »

I spy Agent Carter on the unemployment line.
ABC has cancelled the Hayley Atwell-fronted Marvel series after two acclaimed-yet-little-seen seasons, TVLine has learned.
In TVLine's annual "Keep or Cut" poll, 83 percent of respondents wanted to see the drama renewed. The show's low ratings, however, likely made a third season cost-prohibitive for ABC. The Season 2 finale in March pulled in just 2.35 million total viewers and a 0.7 demo rating, hitting and tying series lows.

Ah, sweet college -- the perfect fusion of freedom and dependence, childhood and adulthood, midterms and hangovers. For many students, it takes escaping high school and heading off to college to find out who they really are and who they really want to be. It's okay to miss it sometimes, or even most of the time.
Fortunately, television will always be here to help you relive your glory days. These college-set series cover the good, the bad, and the hilariously pathetic parts of higher learning. For every randomly selected roommate who became an instant best friend, there was a mind-numbingly boring professor with a two-hour lecture on the origin of language. For every idyllic fall day on campus, there was a boxed macaroni-and-cheese mishap. And for every deep, personal revelation, there was a moment of being too hungover to get out of bed, let along get to class.

Product Description
From Amazon
Scholars and fans of the great mythologist will find a rich vein of information in Humphrey Carpenter's The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien was a prodigious letter writer all his life; the sheer mass of his correspondence would give pause to even the most stalwart archivist (one shudders to think what he would have done with e-mail). But with the able assistance of Tolkien's son Christopher and a healthy dose of determination, Carpenter manages find the cream of the crop--the letters that shed light on Tolkien's thoughts about his academic and literary work, as well as those that show his more private side, revealing a loving husband, a playful friend, and a doting father. The most fascinating letters are, of course, those in which he discusses Middle-Earth, and Carpenter offers plenty of those to choose from. Tolkien discussed the minutia of his legend--sometimes at great length--with friends, publishers, and even fans who wrote to him with questions. These letters offer significant insights into how he went about creating the peoples and languages of Middle-Earth.
I have long ceased to invent (though even patronizing or sneering critics on the side praise my 'inventions'): I wait till I seem to know what really happened. Or till it writes itself. Thus, though I knew for years that Frodo would run into a tree-adventure somewhere far down the Great River, I had no recollection of inventing Ents. I came at last to the point, and wrote the 'Treebeard' chapter without any recollection of any previous thought: just as it is now. And then I saw that, of course, it had not happened to Frodo at all.
This new edition of letters has an extensive index, and Carpenter has included a brief blurb at the beginning of each letter to explain who the correspondent was and what was being discussed. Still, we strongly recommend buying the companion volume, J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography, in order to better understand the place these correspondents had in Tolkien's life and get a better context for the letters. --Perry M. Atterberry --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
From Library Journal
The old fellow's letters to friends, family, and fans offer insight into his life and writings. Fun but not essential.

His letters start off with notes to his beloved Edith, before they got married, when he was in the army. After only fifteen pages, correspondence with publishers starts (regarding the publishing of "Mr. Bliss"), and continues with details about his writing, illustrations, and plans for future writings. "[The created legend] should be 'high,' purged of the gross, and fit for the more adult mind of a land long now steeped in poetry," he writes at one point.
But letters to publishers are only some of the letters Tolkien wrote in his long life. Other letters are to his kids and his friends, detailing his trip to Italy, the Narnia books, his friendships, his career, the nuances of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit," "Beowulf," and explaining his thoughts on philosophy, religion, myth and his own writing -- even describing an aborted sequel to "Lord of the Rings" called "The New Shadow," which he abandoned as being "both sinister and depressing."
Do hobbits have pointy ears? Did Sauron create the orcs? Were the evil spiders inspired by a childhood tarantula bite? Was the Ring of Power "der Nibelungen Ring"? Tolkien addressed all of these in his letters. (And the answers are: Yes, no, no, and absolutely not!) Rumors are addressed, questions are answered, and Tolkien gives insights to his writings that -- obviously -- no one else could provide.Read more ›
Highly illuminating, frequently entertaining, and always interesting, Tolkien's LETTERS give us a remarkable look into one of the 20th century's most popular and widely read authors. Whether he is talking to his son about marriage, struggling to publish LORT in the early 1950s, addressing fans' various questions and concerns, writing about his scholarly life or his books, Tolkien is sharp-witted, engaging, and extremely intelligent. To his credit, he never sounds condescending, and ultimately, of all the writing about Tolkien, this is ultimately the most humanizing of them all.
What makes some of the most interesting to the letters are when Tolkien is discussing his own works. Much like UNFINISHED TALES, the LETTERS are a wonderful sumplement and a great source of information about Middle-earth that cannot be found elsewhere and is incredibly enlightening, whether it be a die-hard Tolkien researcher or a first time reader.
For those familiar with the older editions of LETTERS (I have a hardback version, well before this came out), the newly revised index, prepared by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, make this alone worth purchasing. The index is so much better and makes this edition a lot easier to navigate through
What makes Tolkien's LETTERS such a valuable addition to the Tolkien canon is because, of all his books, this is the most intimate, naked look we will ever have into his mind other than through a mythological lens of his core books.Read more ›
Something special! Indeed. If I could go back in time and sit with Tolkien and friends while they smoked pipes and discussed their writings, this is what I'd overhear. If I could pick Tolkien's brain on many subjects considering the Ring and Middle Earth, these are the sorts of things he'd say. These letters cover a wide range of topics over a number of years and point directly to the source of Tolkien's inspirations. Questions that have long lay dormant in my mind sprung to life and found reprieve here within these stunning letters.
Do you wonder about the spiritual implications of "The Lord of the Rings"? Do you wish for insight into Tolkien's relationship with C.S. Lewis? Do you pine for the day you could've had Tolkien respond to your own questions? This side of eternity, "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien" may be the closest you'll come to satisfying these itchings. If you're a fan, this is indispensable. And, I might add, a lot of fun besides.
Time and time again I've turned to the Letters for inspiration and information on what Tolkien had to say about everything concerning Middle-earth, from the family secrets and scandals of the Tooks to how Aragorn would have ruled Arnor and Gondor in the Fourth Age. Tolkien shared his private thoughts with a select group of fans who wrote to him in his lifetime, and with his friends and close relatives. These letters are a rare glimpse into his candor, wit, and values.
Many of the questions that Tolkien readers form today when they first pick up his books were shared by their predecessors in the 1930s and 1950s when The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were first published. His answers to fan questions are as fresh and informative to the 100th-time reader as to the 1st time reader.

His team shocked the hockey world by winning it in 2006.He believes any of the 16 teams in this year's bracket could win the Cup. "With goaltending and getting on a run at the right point, I think any team that's in this year has a chance to win that Cup," he told the Globe and Mail. "A legitimate chance. With the parity in the league now, anybody can win."But it helps to have certain qualities heading into the postseason."You have to have exceptional goaltending." Rutherford said. "You also have to have a team that really believes in each other. But the key factors are the coach, the goalie and being very strong down the middle."During the last eight springs, eight different teams won it all: New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Anaheim, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston. Would anybody be surprised if Los Angeles or Philadelphia won this year, based on what we've already seen?

Product Description
DVD, Slipcase, 7-Pack
Almost as welcome as a shaker full of martinis, The Complete Thin Man Collection represents an eagerly awaited DVD milestone for fans of the fizzy MGM movie series. The best film in the series came first: The Thin Man (1934), W.S. Van Dyke's marvelous adaptation of a Dashiell Hammet novel. The movie gods were in a generous mood when they paired William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, the upper-class sophisticates whose sleuthing escapades somehow joined the classic form of the whodunit with the giddyup of screwball comedy. Among the series' many attributes, one of its most radical notions was the idea that a married couple might find each other delightful and view life as a goofy adventure together.
It is common wisdom that the Thin Man sequels adhere to the law of diminishing returns, and while none of the follow-ups reach the diamond level of the first film, all afford pleasures. There's the cocktail-swilling chemistry of Powell and Loy, for one thing, as well as the considerable satisfaction of average movies made during the studio system: the craftsmanship of studio hands, and a gallery of terrific character actors filling in supporting roles. First sequel After the Thin Man (1936) is very good, with the couple in San Francisco and a supporting part for rising player James Stewart. The scenery moves again, to Long Island, for the rather impudently-titled Another Thin Man (1939), which adds baby Nick, Jr., to the mix (a "bad idea," thought Pauline Kael, perhaps a sign of the domestication of the series).
Shadow of the Thin Man (1941) sets the action around a racetrack, and is the last of the series to be directed by the fast-working Van Dyke. The Thin Man Goes Home (1944) finds Nick escorting family to his parents' house for a visit. Song of the Thin Man (1947) engagingly adds a jazz milieu to the Charles's detective work; at this point, Nick, Jr. was played by child star Dean Stockwell. The series stuck with certain staples: the unveiling of the guilty party, a wirehaired terrier named Asta (who became a star in its own right), and booze. When Nick opines, in the first film, that a dry martini should always be shaken to "waltz time," you know why audiences fell in love with these guilt-free comedies. --Robert Horton

Alias Nick & Nora (Bonus disk)
There is some space left on each DVD so they added some extras on each DVD in addition to the Bonus DVD. However the fillers sometimes relate and at other times are just fillers.
The documentary of Nick, on the Bonus DVD, at first looks like a lot of sound bites of people parsing William Powel. Later it settles down to be a good Biography of William Powel and shows some movies that need to be added to the collection.
The documentary of Nora on the Bonus DVD is narrated by Kathleen Turner and is not nearly as well put together.
There is also an episode of the TV series of "The Thin Man" (1957-1959) Nick (Peter Lawford), Nora (Phyllis Kirk), which explains why it is off the air.
The movies themselves are quite crisp; which leads me to thing they did a little cleaning up. A couple of places the sound seems to drop off, however it is not drastic.
they were filmed. So when my mother mentioned she is not watching much TV as the current trend is too raw and frankly distressing for her tastes, I thought of this
series. Try them you are guaranteed a laugh or two. ;-) Cheers!
"The Thin Man" was the sparkling film that started it all. While shaking a martini to the waltz, Nick Charles investigates the disappearance of an old client, and the murder of his secretary-lover, who was stealing from him. It seems like an easy case, but Nick isn't convinced. Ex-wives, anguished daughters, long-suffering cops and creepy stool pigeons all show up for a dinnertime revelation...
"After the Thin Man" returns Nick and Nora to San Francisco. They find that Nora's cousin Selma (Elissa Landi) has been abandoned by her husband (Jimmy Stewart) for a sexy nightclub entertainer, and that he's also blackmailing her ex-boyfriend. Soon he turns up dead, and it's up to Nick and Nora to clear Selma's name....
"Another Thin Man" is an adaptation of another Hammett short story, and introduces us to Baby Charles. The new parents arrive in Long Island to visit an old friend of the family, who claims that a former business partner is trying to kill him. Of course, he dies. Disappearing bodies, international suspects, and lots of martinis are par for the course...
"Shadow of the Thin Man" takes the Charles family to the racetrack, where a jockey is unexpectedly killed. Nick doesn't want to be torn away from his vices, but he reluctantly gets involved when the bodies start to pile up. Gambling syndicates, lethal sports and milk-drinking are all tied up in this.Read more ›

Posted on 09/05/2009 10:35:11 PM PDT by Cindy
Note: The following text is a quote:
Office of the Press Secretary ___________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release September 5, 2009
WEEKLY ADDRESS: President Obama Announces New Initiatives for Retirement Savings
WASHINGTON In this weeks address, President Barack Obama will announce new steps to make it easier for American families to save for retirement. These new initiatives will complement the presidents major legislative proposals to boost participation in IRAs and match retirement savings.
The new initiatives will:
Expand opportunities for automatic enrollment in 401(k) and other retirement savings plans, Make it easier for more than 100 million families to save a portion or all of their tax refunds, Enable workers to convert their unused vacation or other similar leave into additional retirement savings, and Help workers and their employers better understand the available options for tax-favored retirement saving through clear, easy-to-understand language.
Together, these steps will expand the range of choices for workers who want to save and will make saving easier for millions of Americans.
Attached is a fact sheet that outlines the new initiatives for retirement savings. The fact sheet will be live on the website at 6AM tomorrow morning.
The full audio of the address is HERE. The video can be viewed online at www.whitehouse.gov.
Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, September 5, 2009
As we spend time with family and friends this Labor Day weekend, many of us will also be thinking about the state of working America. Yesterday, we received a report showing that job losses have slowed dramatically compared to just a few months ago. Earlier in the week, we learned that the manufacturing sector has posted its first gains in eighteen months, and that many of the banks that borrowed money at the height of the financial crisis are now returning it to taxpayers with interest.
These are only the most recent signs that the economy is turning around, though these signs are little comfort to those whove experienced the pain of losing a job in the previous month, or in the previous two years of this recession. Thats why it is so important that we remain focused on speeding our economic recovery. Throughout America today, tens of thousands of recovery projects are underway, repairing our nations roads, bridges, ports and waterways; renovating schools; and developing renewable energy. Were putting Americans back to work doing to the work America needs done and mostly in private sector jobs.
But even as we take aggressive steps to put people back to work, it is also important that we keep faith with men and women looking back on a lifetime of labor; hard-working Americans who deserve to know that their efforts have resulted in a secure future, including a secure retirement. For this recession has not only led to the loss of jobs, but also the loss of savings. The drop in home values, for example, has also meant a drop in the value of the largest single investment most families have. And the decline in the financial markets has led to a decline in the value of 401(k)s and other sources of savings and retirement security. As a result, over the past two years, the American people have lost about $2 trillion in retirement savings.
This carries a painful toll. Ive heard from so many whove had to put off retirement, or come out of retirement, to make ends meet. Ive heard from seniors who worked hard their whole lives but now, in their golden years, are unsure of where to turn to pay the bills, afford the prescriptions, or keep the home in which they raised a family. And having too little in savings not only leaves people financially ill-prepared for retirement, but also for whatever challenges life brings. It places in jeopardy so many dreams, from owning a home to attending college.
The fact is, even before this recession hit, the savings rate was essentially zero, while borrowing had risen and credit card debt had increased. Many were simply struggling to stay afloat as incomes were stagnant or falling and jobs were scarce; thats important to remember. But there were also those who spent beyond their means. And more broadly, tens of millions of families have been, for a variety of reasons, unable to put away enough money for a secure retirement. Half of Americas workforce doesnt have access to a retirement plan at work. And fewer than 10 percent of those without workplace retirement plans have one of their own.
We cannot continue on this course. And we certainly cannot go back to an economy based on inflated profits and maxed-out credit cards; the cycles of speculative booms and painful busts; a system that put the interests of the short-term ahead of the needs of long-term. We have to revive this economy and rebuild it stronger than before. And making sure that folks have the opportunity and incentive to save for a home or college, for retirement or a rainy day is essential to that effort. If you work hard and meet your responsibilities, this country is going to honor our collective responsibility to you: to ensure that you can save and secure your retirement. That is why we are announcing several common-sense changes that will help families put away money for the future.
First, were going to make it easier for small businesses to do what large businesses do: allow workers to automatically enroll in a 401(k) or an individual retirement account. We know that automatic enrollment has made a big difference in participation rates by making it simpler for workers to save and thats why were going to expand it to more people.
Second, well make it easier for people to save their federal tax refunds, which 100 million families receive. Today, if you have a retirement account, you can have your refund deposited directly into your account. With this change, well make it easier for those without retirement plans to save their refunds as well. Youll be able to check a box on your tax return to receive your refund as a savings bond.
Third, well make it possible for employees to put payments for unused vacation and sick days into their retirement plan if they wish. Right now, most workers dont have that option.
And fourth, the IRS and the Treasury Department are creating a plain-English, easy-to-follow guide, as well as a website, to help folks navigate what are often very complicated waters, especially for workers changing jobs who often are unsure how best to continue saving for retirement. Because the rules ought to be written to encourage people to save instead of discouraging them.
Well also build on these steps by working with Congress. As part of my budget, Ive proposed ensuring that nearly every American has access to a retirement savings account through his or her job. This plan would make it possible for workers to automatically enroll in IRAs through payroll contributions. And the budget simplifies and expands a tax credit for millions of families, matching half of a familys savings up to $1,000 per year and depositing the tax credit directly into a retirement account.
This is a difficult time for our country. But I am confident that we can meet the challenges we face and leave behind something better; that we are ready to take responsibility for our future once again as individuals and as a nation. I hope that all of you have the chance to enjoy this Labor Day weekend with family and friends. But my larger hope and expectation is that next Labor Day, the economic storms were weathering now will have given way to brighter and more prosperous times.
Thank you.
Note: The following text is a quote:
If you work hard your whole life, you ought to have every opportunity to retire with dignity and
financial security. And as a nation we ought to do all we can to ensure that folks have sensible,
affordable options to save for retirement.
— President Barack Obama
As many as 78 million working Americansabout half the workforcedon't have a retirement
savings plan at work. Fewer than 10 percent of those without plans at work contribute to a plan
of their own. Our nation needs to do more to help families save and give them better choices to
reach a secure retirement.
Today, President Barack Obama and Secretary Tim Geithner announced new steps to make it
easier for American families to save for retirement. These new initiatives will complement the
presidents major legislative proposals to boost participation in IRAs and match retirement
savings. The Department of the Treasury will:
Expand opportunities for automatic enrollment in 401(k) and other retirement savings plans,
Make it easier for more than 100 million families to save a portion or all of their tax refunds,
Enable workers to convert their unused vacation or other similar leave into additional
retirement savings, and
Help workers and their employers better understand the available options for tax-favored
retirement saving through clear, easy-to-understand language.
Together, these steps will expand the range of choices for workers who want to save and will
make saving easier for millions of Americans.
(1) Expand Automatic Enrollment in 401(k) and Other Retirement Savings Plans: Under
automatic 401(k) plans, employers directly deposit a small percentage of each paycheck into
workers retirement accounts. Employees maintain full choice over whether and how much they
want to save. Each employee can choose to opt out of the plan or save a different amount, and
employers can easily match employee contributions. Automatic enrollment boosts participation
in 401(k) retirement plans from about 70 percent to more than 90 percent, and it is particularly
effective in increasing the participation of low-income and minority workers. But while nearly
half of larger companies with 401(k) plans have adopted automatic enrollment, fewer medium-
sized or small businesses have done so. The Administration will
Streamline the process for 401(k) plans to adopt automatic enrollment. Plan sponsors
typically seek Internal Revenue Service approval of plan amendments to ensure legal
compliance. By issuing pre-approved automatic enrollment language, the IRS will allow plan
sponsors to amend their plans to adopt automatic enrollment more quickly, without the need
for case-by-case approval by the IRS.
Make it easier to increase saving over time. A promising approach to boosting retirement
savings is to gradually increase automatic worker contributions over time. For example,
workers could dedicate a portion of their pay raises to retirement savings or be put on a path
to save a higher percentage of their pay every year, while remaining free to stop the increases
or opt out entirely at any time. Treasury and the IRS are releasing a ruling explaining how
401(k) plans can use this automatic increase feature.
Allow automatic enrollment in SIMPLE-IRAs. The SIMPLE-IRA combines the basic
elements of 401(k) plans and IRAs, creating an easily administrable retirement plan that
small businesses can offer to their employees. An estimated 3 to 4 million SIMPLE-IRA
accounts exist, but workers are not automatically enrolled. Treasury and IRS are now issuing
guidance to help interested employers automatically enroll employees in SIMPLE-IRA plans
so long as employees are free to opt out.
(2) Create Easier Ways to Save Tax Refunds: More than 100 million families receive federal
income tax refunds each year. Averaging more than $2,000, tax refunds present a unique
opportunity for families to save. Taxpayers can already instruct the IRS to directly deposit their
refunds and dedicate a portion to an IRA or other savings vehicle. Today, the Treasury and IRS
announced that taxpayers will have another savings option beginning in early 2010 — the ability
to use their refunds to purchase U.S. savings bonds simply by checking a box on their tax return,
without having to open an account at Treasury or take any other action, and even if the taxpayer
doesn't have a bank account. The savings bonds would be mailed to the taxpayer. Taxpayers will
be able to purchase bonds in their own names beginning in 2010 and to add co-owners such as
children or grandchildren beginning in 2011.
(3) Allow Unused Leave to Be Converted to 401(k) Savings: Every year, millions of workers
leave their jobs and receive substantial payments, often in cash, for unused vacation or other
similar leave. For many employees, this money could easily be saved. Treasury and the IRS are
issuing two rulings today describing how employers can allow their employees to contribute
those amounts to their 401(k) plan. As an alternative, the rulings also give employers the option
of making their own contribution of these amounts to their employees 401(k) or other plan.
(4) Explain Saving Options: Employees changing jobs and receiving payments from a
retirement plan face a number of choices, including a tax-free rollover of their benefits to
another retirement account. These choices are not always well understood. Today, Treasury and
the IRS are issuing a plain-English road map for rollovers to help workers keep their savings in
tax-favored retirement plans or IRAs until they are ready to retire, rather than withdrawing cash
earlier, subject to tax penalties. The road map is an updated model notice for plans to give
departing employees. It clearly explains how to roll over plan balances, the key decisions, and
the tax consequences. In addition, the IRS has created new user-friendly web site materials to
help employers select an appropriate retirement plan and to help employees better understand the
benefits of saving for retirement.
To read the Treasury and IRS rulings and materials, please visit http://www.irs.gov/retirement.
The Obama Administration is committed to giving tens of millions more Americans more and
better choices to save for retirement through their jobs and receive tax benefits for doing so. The
president will continue to work to expand and strengthen employment-based retirement security.
Todays steps complement two important initiatives included in President Obamas budget:
Create Automatic IRAs: IRAs are intended to give a tax-favored saving opportunity to the
millions of workers — about half the American work force — who have no workplace
retirement plan. Yet fewer than 1 out of 10 workers who are eligible to make tax-favored
contributions to an IRA actually contribute to an IRA, while 9 out of 10 workers
automatically enrolled in a 401(k) plan continue to make contributions. When enacted by
Congress, the Administration's proposal will automatically enroll workers without workplace
retirement plans in IRAs through payroll deposit contributions at the workplace. The
contributions will be voluntary — employees will be free to opt out — and matched by the
Savers Tax Credit for eligible families.
Reform and Expand the Savers Credit to Match Retirement Savings: The expanded
Savers Tax Credit will match the retirement savings of millions of families. It will match half
of families' savings up to $500 per individual each year and deposit the tax credits directly
into the individual's 401(k) plan account or IRA. The credit will be available to low- and
middle-income working families, including those who earn too little to owe income taxes.
Save what?
Are the 10+ % that aren't working gonna find this makes it easier than ever to contribute to thier 401k's?
Oh, and, retirement is scheduled to require much less savings, isn't it, owing to it's mandadory shortening under Universal Healthcare>
Dude is smokin' weed again, I tell you!
I wonder how this will dovetail into the dems plans from march to put everyone's 401k holdings into the general fund... Originally slated for October.
Well I'm curious just what he wants me to save, barely make the bills now, didn't get a raise the last two years...
Here are the GDP Growth Rates by Quarter for the last few years:
A Recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth. So, this one started in Q3 of 2008. We are now in Q3 of 2009.
The Recession is ONE YEAR OLD YOU LYING SACK OF SH*T!
Guess we have yet another thing to shut down.
Van Jones... CHECK
The rest of the czars
401k tax
I'm sure I've missed a few.
Until the punitive view of small busines changes, screw you Mr. President.
I have no incentive to invest or work as long as the govt tells me they are capping my deductions and making it impossible to make good money for taking a risk. I would rather sit on my butt, have a cigar and cocktail, and tell potential workers no when they asked to be hired.
I am under pressure to deliver particular software but it will cost me my deductions to make more money. Welcome to disincentive time. I will sit back and watch the flowers grow: that helps no one.
If we hadn't been forced to fork over half of our income, we wouldn't be broke when we retire! Obama is taking what little is left of our hard earned money and spending it like a kid in a candy store!

"Other People's Money"
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, September 04, 2009 4:20 PM PT
SNIPPET: "Economy: The jobless rate has hit a 26-year high. More than 200,000 jobs were lost last month. Yet the White House continues to claim its stimulus legislation is working. When does the charade end?"
AHA! Now we know the real reason for this gambit:
"Invest your tax refund in GOVERNMENT DEBT SO I CAN SPEND SOME MORE!!! - 0BUMMER
Hey O! Instead of more gubmint crap, how about you lower taxes so I can keep my own money?
Well, that would apply to the tax refund. I'm wondering if the proposed 401(k) will be a government-managed fund, or any "qualified plan" run by your choice of private companies such as Fidelity Investments. Wanna bet this is another "public option" to unfairly compete with private enterprise?
Why in the hell would that do that when they can roll out another attempt at social engineering under the guise of freedom and 45% of Americans believe it?
POTUS muzzie Hussein and his comrades can keep their skinny communist fingers out of my pockets and I'll be just fine.
This is the same scheme as his:
1) Two trillion dollar deficit reduction plan that assumed Iraq war would continue at the same rate of spend for the next decade
2) Two trillion savings from health care because all parties (hospitals, pharmas and others) agreed to cuts
3) Saving the planet plan that magically makes auto makers meet the ridiculous and impossible 36 mpg CAFE standards by 2013
4) His plan that would keep unemployment from exceeding 8%
Etc. etc. etc.!!
What 'tax refunds'?!!!
YES HE IS! Obama lies about everything including health care!
He has never had anyone challenge him on his statements until now! And it certainly isn't the media challenging him (as they should have years ago) it's the American citizens which makes it even more important to keep up the heat on him!
Thank you! The awful, black joke of the day: now that Obummer has our economy comatose and on life support, he's creating ways for us to invest in it. Gee, thanks, Barry!

Obama promotes saving as recession hits nest eggs
breitbart ^ | 9/5/09 | CHARLES BABINGTON
Posted on September 5, 2009 11:07:11 PM PDT by Nachum
WASHINGTON (AP) - The recession has eaten into people's nest eggs so the government is promoting ways to make it easier to save for retirement.
One initiative that President Barack Obama outlined in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday will allow people to have their federal tax refunds sent as savings bonds. Others are meant to require workers to take action to stay out of an employer-run savings program rather than having to take action to join it.
"We know that automatic enrollment has made a big difference in participation rates by making it simpler for workers to save," Obama said. "That's why we're going to expand it to more people."

Bottom line, he is looking for ways to let him use your tax refunds for his socialist agenda. Then when the money is gone, you're SOL.
They should also make interest earned on savings accounts exempt up to at least $400.00 like it was in the past. Actually, to adjust for inflation, it should be higher than $400.00.
More unicorn farts.
If they want people to save just stop holding interest rates artificially low.
Contrary to Obamaknowledge, most people who earn their own money are smart enough to figure out that savings accounts paying interest rates below the rate of inflation costs them money.
It's a scam.
He's boxed in, having promised to deliver the moon to the poor, and unable to borrow a red cent from China anymore.
He has no choice but to fail or seize yet another great store of wealth and this time he has drawn a bead on our retirement savings.
The legislation will be another 1400 page bill no-one is allowed to read before they vote on it, and when the dust settles, the government will own your entire retirement account.
Rational argument will not change his course of action.
How bad do YOU want to keep YOUR money?
What income tax returns???? They can cook the books on the unemployment numbers now but it's going to show up somewhere. Wait until next April 15th.
>>Third, well make it possible for employees to put payments for unused vacation and sick days into their retirement plan if they wish. Right now, most workers dont have that option.
That's hilarious! My company already did that—until the IRS swooped in a few months ago and said that we had to stop it because it was an "option". Apparently, it is OK if it's mandatory for all employees to put excess leave into the retirement account, but it it's optional, then the employees that DON'T do it must pay TAXES on unused leave at the end of the year. So we had to end the practice.
The company has been doing it for 20 years without any problems, but now that Black Jesus is in the WH, it's got to stop. Now we see why. He plans to take away something we already had...and then give it back as a gift.
I recall our Congress back in the 1980s convinced everbody that Social Security taxes needed to be reaised in order to prepare for the Baby Boomers retirement.
What did the govt do with this money? Did they save it for us(I retire next year). Hell no. the spent it.
They lied once, they will lie again.
and the GOP is as complicit as the Dems.
Out of it all, this excerpt is the scariest
More than 100 million families receive federal income tax refunds each year. Averaging more than $2,000, tax refunds present a unique opportunity for families to save. Taxpayers can already instruct the IRS to directly deposit their refunds and dedicate a portion to an IRA or other savings vehicle. Today, the Treasury and IRS announced that taxpayers will have another savings option beginning in early 2010 the ability to use their refunds to purchase U.S. savings bonds simply by checking a box on their tax return, without having to open an account at Treasury or take any other action, and even if the taxpayer doesnt have a bank account. The savings bonds would be mailed to the taxpayer. Taxpayers will be able to purchase bonds in their own names beginning in 2010 and to add co-owners such as children or grandchildren beginning in 2011.
So many problems with this. First, 100 million Americans are currently allowing their money to be used interest free by the government. Collectively, we are floating a $200 billion dollar interest free loan to the treasury (if the figures given are to be believed). That's a bad thing. Freepers, please, review your tax situation. If you are getting a "refund" that's a very bad thing. You are giving the government an interest free loan. And you risk not getting that money back. Ask your friends from California about this. Everyone should check their tax situation, and claim your deductions and exemptions so that your withholding is as close as possible to your actual tax bill. Try hard to make you April 15 "annual settlement" with the tax man an amount less than $100.
Then, the "savings bond" for your "tax refund" is just a voluntary (for now) way to get people used to the idea of getting their money back in the for of an IOU. How long before the US treasury issues IOU's to everyone, like California. How long until the check box on the form is automatically filled in for you.
Much better to endorse your "refund check" and deposit it in your personal IRA. Better still, divide your typical "refund" amount by 12, and set up an automatic monthly transfer into your IRA for that amount, and adjust your withholding to put that much back into your paycheck. You'll get interest or dividends from your IRA for the entire year for the money you would have given interest free to the government.
And I'm very skeptical about the "automatic" stuff _resident Obama speaks of in this plan. Where does the Congress (article 1) or the Executive (article 2) get the power to open any savings account, IRA or whatever on my behalf?
The fact that the _resident is suggesting the savings bond for your tax refund makes me wonder how long before refunds will be held up in limbo because the money isn't there to return.
Is this yet another UNION bailout? I do not trust these liar and thieves when they start sticking their greedy fingers into Americans retirement accounts.
Right! Current CDs are 1 year at 1% Stagnant money growth. Fed Reserve bank discount rate is close to zero. Banks will mortgage you for 4.75 but will NOT pay you 4.75 if YOU loan them money by putting it in their bank. No sense to this.
Earlier post is right- The ALARM should go out on the "streamlined" automatic 401K/IRAs. If, by this legislation the Feds are trying to tap into private savings plans by changing the rules to make them "public", in order to raid them for "general revenue" funds (like they have done every year since LBJ with Social Security) then we need to STOP this NOW! Find out now. If it is this raid then a run on the accounts needs to occur- but where to put it since it is all paper. Imagine the theivery of a govt. that causes money to be withheld from pay, gets that money monthly and then, having overtaxed us, offers to "refund" our overpaid taxes back to us in the form of "conversion" to a savings bond. This costs them nothing- except interest payments for the bonds. Already loaned them the money for a year at no interest. Thanks, I'll keep the cash upfront.
If China wont buy our T-bills maybe we can soak the regular tax payer by making their private accounts public and raiding them. Bastards. We must stop this NOW!

noisephotographer: The L16 probably won't achieve DSLR quality and probably not even Galaxy S7/ Nexus 6p quality. Maybe Light uses too cheap sensors.
But the concept is intruiging and future generations of the L16 might achieve a very good quality.
It is 16 cameras - where did you get your wrong impression?
PhotoUniverse: I like the USB-C port
1. There is no such thing as a USB 3.0 type port
2. The USB-C port supports either USB 2 or USB 3
3. The USB-C port on this camera is a USB 3 port
justnuaces: If I understand correctly, this is another upgrade that carries different features for LR6 and LR CC.
If I'm right, Adobe is just considering B-seires customers who paid in advance for the software, instead of paying month by month.
Many thanks, Adobe... Thanks for the consideration.
Because subscribers get new features early why do you think annual purchasers are entitled to have updated they didn't get before?
One of the trade-offs in not being on subscription is approximately annual updates to whole new versions at upgrade pricing just like before subscriptions existed.
Biological_Viewfinder: Why am I surprised that people continue to misunderstand the beauty of a fixed-lens solution?
These cameras are the beginning of the end for DSLR cameras.
They don't replace larger, heavier, bulky, multiple lenses in a backpack just yet; but as this technology matures, more and more people will come to appreciate these wonderful bridge cameras. I've waited for a decade for these cameras to arrive. It's still not quite there yet, but they are getting closer and closer to "bridging" the gap between good image quality and utter silliness of the DSLR's need for a backpack full of lenses just to take a picture.
A Nikon 80-400mm on an APS-C DSLR is 120-600mm. That one lens costs $2300. It's also large and heavy.
Some are suggesting 3rd party junk lenses like the 16-300mm. I would not ever use a super-wide to super-telephoto on a DSLR. The whole reason for a DSLR is changing lenses and image quality. Why put 3rd party anything on it???? Even a filter, even a battery. I *ONLY* use genuine!
But don't compare the 16-300 to other DSLR lenses, compare it to the FZ1000 or GX-3 or RX10 III - if it can perform better for less, and handled much better, your are giving up size and possibly video for better stills at a cheaper price - a very reasonable trade-off for many.
nimrod1212: I think Canon and perhaps other manufacturers have created confusion (certainly judging by comments here) by conflating the terms "flash" and continuous LED illumination.
It could still turn off and flash when you take the picture... that would be nice innovation :)
nimrod1212: I think Canon and perhaps other manufacturers have created confusion (certainly judging by comments here) by conflating the terms "flash" and continuous LED illumination.
Since it says freeze movement, I'm pretty sure they mean flash.
gehairing: Great job done by Pentax with this pixel shifting :)
What result would give the stacking of four images on other cameras ? I suppose it would give similar results.
(a bit like what we do in astro imaging where we have few photons)
Not in color accuracy.
CopCarSS: Reading any DPR article that discusses equivalency and the shouting match that it's sure to bring about gives me the equivalent heart burn of a chili cheese dog and an order of buffalo wings.
Besides DOF, aperture equivalency is really useful as a rule of thumb measure of low light performance.
mosc: I think the LX100 should also be listed as a 3rd winner. It's lens and sensor size are vastly more capable in low light than any other compact and it has good 4K and unarguably the best manual control of anything in this price/size.
So you have:
1) the speed demon RX100m4 with the best resolution in the class and as small as anything (mentioning the RX100m3 is nearly the same for a lot less money if you're not quite as speed focused)
2) The 10x zoom/1" sensor/pocketable trifecta for those who demand reach in the TS100
3) The supersized physical aperture lens/sensor combo of the LX100 that's a little bigger with delicious manual controls. More tiny all-rounder than pure compact.
All with EVF, 4K, and similar sticker prices.
It uses most of the m4/3 sensor, so instead of 2x the 1" sensor it is about 1.8x, which seems close enough.
Alhazen: With all the camera comparison tools on the site, why not add an equivalent aperture comparison tool? I mean, the equivalent aperture charts that show up in reviews are nice and all, but it would be much much handier to be able to choose which cameras show up in the chart, rather than needing to look at one of 9 lines in this chart and try to compare to one of another half dozen lines in another chart that doesn't have the same axis scaling.
I'd be glad to help you with that if you can stand ASP.Net / C# :)
WillWeaverRVA: This lens is indeed surprisingly good. Sure, it's not going to make a smartphone produce DSLR-quality photos but the results are better than most of the garbage floating around in the world of lens attachments, and it's a pocketable wide angle lens, which is no mean feat.
That being said, though, I still can't see any reason why anyone would want to buy one of these. You're basically now carrying two devices instead of one...wouldn't you rather have that second decide be a real camera?
You know a "real camera" the size of this lens kit?
abstractface: Alas this would be my camera for life if it costs $4000.. not $25,000 plus all the stuff advertised is surpassed by other cameras in every way.. the add should have emphasized the asthetic more so that non medium format folk would understand what it is about
People who don't understand what it's all about aren't the target market. If you are considering this, you know why.
Favorable Exponynt: 1500 for a small sensor camera with a kit lens
drivecancel: Didn't the RX II come out like 6 months ago?
Ridiculous product release cycles
If you are worried about trade-in value, you shouldn't be buying new equipment.

The ABC can exclusively reveal that clinical trials of an experimental cancer drug have been suspended after serious questions were raised about the accuracy of scientific data.
The University of New South Wales is investigating a number of allegations concerning the science and data underpinning the DZ13 compound.
DZ13 was developed by an Australian team of researchers and heralded as a super drug in the fight against skin cancer.
Two previous UNSW investigations found no evidence of research misconduct, but a third probe was prompted by further concerns raised separately by an eminent Australian scientist and a former DZ13 researcher.

There are numerous sorts of skincare items from economical to over $500.00 for container not exactly an ounce. Does cost truly mean its better or is it simply the bundling you are paying for?
Cosmetics and skincare counters for ladies resemble recordings stores to youngsters, we can't stroll by without halting and looking. With all the pretty bundling, fashionable workers looking sharp in their white scientist's jackets, by what means would we be able to not stop and look? Skincare organizations know we are continually searching for something better, since we have been persuade higher costs must mean a superior item than the drugstore skincare item you might utilize at this moment.
The Best New Skincare Products In the Market
In the event that you are searching for new skincare items you have to give yourself a couple of thoughts of what you are searching for and what you will spend for it. Ponder obtaining any over the corner skincare item costing more $30.00. Keep in mind that any skincare items that you may purchase from your dermatologist are for the most part more strong exposed skin care discount codes. On the off chance that you are not certain what sort of skincare item you ought to utilize on account of your age, request that your dermatologist suggest what she feels with work. The exact opposite thing you need is to purchase an over-costly skincare item just to find that you have squandered your cash.
Would you truly like to burn through $500.00 on an ounce of skincare, just to find that you are adversely affected by a fixing?
Additionally a decent tip in picking another skincare item is less fixings is better. In the event that you can/t read the fine print on the grounds that there is such a large amount of it, you may not what to attempt it. Likewise when choosing to have a go at something new, do one skincare item at once to ensure you don't have a response to it. By attempting a radical new skincare regiment at one time can make your face thoroughly break out due to the blending of the skincare items in the event that you are not cautious.
Evade costly "window dressing". Meaning the upscale and all the more immoderate skincare creams may have aroma in them and they offer no advantages simply higher cost. There are some common skincare items that can break your skin out too, so be cautious. Simply please recall that your mean to accomplishing great skincare is not straightforwardly extent to the measure of time or the amount you spend or what number of things you are use. We as a whole need to comprehend that with all commercials the thought is to make you think you require more than you do, that spending more cash means better item and that they truly do work tigerfitness promo codes. What's more, purchasing the entire skincare framework is preferred for you over purchasing a solitary thing.
On the off chance that at all conceivable attempt and get an example before you purchase, if not either leave and consider it before hopping on the fleeting trend of most recent skincare furor. Try not to trust all the buildup you find in every one of the books, magazines and promotions. That is their employment. It is to make you need it regardless of the possibility that your skincare regiment works fine and dandy for you.
Simply understand that any skincare regimen that you do at home is going to require some serious energy and tolerance, which implies in the event that you are going to begin utilizing something new, stay with for a couple of months. Since it might take that long to truly see any genuine results. There is no genuine fix your wrinkles in a couple days skincare cream, what you have to do is choose what you will spend, the amount of time you need to take each morning and night on your skincare regimen and go from that point. Because the bundling is all splendid and glossy doesn't mean what is in the container will be what you truly require.
Keep in mind that in the event that you do discover something that you feel may work, consider the expense more than 3 to 4 months before choosing to purchase. Burning through $300.00 a month on one thing can truly include, uniquely when it requires some serious energy to see any genuine results. In this season of less cash to spend, we need to truly consider the genuine expenses. Your face is seen by everybody, you have to truly take great consideration of it. What's more, if that implies purchasing drugstore skincare items since they work then do it. You know best, not some extravagant dressed lady behind the skincare counter.…
