#yn-atlantic-banner img { display:block; }Morning Vid: Bush Says 'TARP Saved the Economy'

WASHINGTON, DC – On the evening news last night, NBC aired another clip from pioussnob Matt Lauer's upcoming interview with George W. Bush. Based on whatwe've seen so far, the full sit-down will be required viewing when itairs next week, if only because Bush--unlike every other politicalmemoirist in history--seems to realize we don't care how meeting NelsonMandela made him feel (good). We're more interested how calling him a racist on live television made him feel (not good).

Theformer president's candor was again on display last night when Lauerraised the subject of , the emergency program Bush signed into lawin October of 2008 that bailed out banks, saved the American economy,and inadvertently created the Tea Party. Lauer asked the president if he had anyregrets. Bush's response--which probably could have saved a few Houseincumbents--is bound to be Timothy Geithner's ringtone by the end ofthe day.

"I can understand the angst," said Bush. "But in mycase, I wasn't worried about angst, or personal angst, orcontradiction. I was worried about the economy going down. And Ibelieve TARP saved the economy." Then, because he's George W. Bush, he refers to Wall Street as "the Wall Street."

Retirement Made Simpler Releases Automatic 403(b) Toolkit to Increase Ease of Implementation, Help Employees Save

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2010 – WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Retirement Made Simpler (RMS) today released a robust online toolkit to provide employers with a 403(b) retirement plan of step-by-step guidance to implementing automatic features. Under such a plan, employees are enrolled automatically, at a set amount and in a predetermined investment choice. Employees have the ability to change the amount they save and the investment option-or opt out entirely at any time. A recent study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports automatic enrollment plans can significantly increase participation rates to levels as high as 95 percent.

"We wanted to provide educational institutions and non-profits that have 403(b) plans a one-stop resource covering everything from the basics of automatic enrollment to best practices such as automatic escalation," said John Gannon, Senior Vice President of FINRA, which is a founding partner of the Retirement Made Simpler coalition. "The 403(b) Toolkit offers step-by-step guidance and sample communications to help simplify implementation."

Employers that offer 403(b) plans can find the comprehensive guide to implementing automatic features on the RMS website at . The resource includes basic facts, benefits to employers and sample forms, such as new employee notice of enrollment and opt-out forms. The toolkit also explains changes to the retirement fund landscape established by the Pension Protection Act. A 403(b) plan is similar to a 401(k), but is designed for employees of public schools, some non-profits and cooperative hospital service organizations.

Retirement Made Simpler is a coalition formed by AARP, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Retirement Security Project (RSP). The coalition was created specifically to inspire and support employers who want to help their employees save more for retirement. By providing companies with the tools and information they need to automate their retirement plans, more Americans will achieve a safe and secure retirement. For more information, visit .

Day in a Daze: How I Live and Deal with Migraines

Living a life with migraines is no fun for anyone. As a migraine sufferer I know how difficult it can be to accomplish even the smallest task. At times it feels as if I have just been stabbed in the eye. And others I compare it to someone hitting me on the back of the head. Sometimes I can feel them coming. And others the migraine seems appear from nowhere. A few years ago I talked to a doctor only to find out I need to be more cautious and I get a migraine aura. When this happens my eye sight will go out for a small period of time. I try to remain calm and wait it out.

Purse Ready

I always keep a small bottle of Excedrin Tension Headachein my purse for my "on the go" emergencies. Sometimes they will only help four to five hours but it can get me through. Coping with a migraine can prove to be difficult so I will take it where I can get it.

Stress is a very large factor

I tend to stress out about things and let them get to me. Stress, as a lot of us know, can effect our bodies in many ways. When I realize a migraine may be brewing from stress I try to take care of whatever is stressing me out so much. Tackle it head on and banish the problem.

Food can be an issue

Chocolate and caffeine are my down fall. Both can cause migraines of their own. I try to limit myself on how much I consume. Unfortunately when I get a bad migraine I will run to both to try to help me.

Medicine

I have found that Excedrin Tension Headache will a lot of the time do the trick for me. Head on for migraines also works. There is no one thing for me that gets rid of all of them. These over the counter medications can be purchased at Wal-Mart.

Time out

Sometimes, I find, that there is just no way to keep on trucking. That is when I take my cue and go to my bed, turn the lights off and just lie there. Keeping my eyes shut and just trying to relax. Noise can be just to much for me to handle. At times I will turn a fan on low and take a nap. Bathes are also excellent for a time out. A hot bath helps me wind down enough for the migraine to be manageable. The most perfect time out for me is when I can lay down with my son and take a nap, granted I can get him to stop moving. Something about just laying there with him is very relaxing.
