Week after week, the Huskies have linked together the necessary parts for a repeat BCS bowl game run without much fanfare, even falling in the polls. With special patriotic uniforms, an appearance on ESPN2 and a potential MAC championship game appearance on the line, Northern Illinois had reason to enjoy the spotlight Wednesday night against Ball State. Northern Illinois won 48-27 in a game that lived up to its hype. Quarterbacks Jordan Lynch of Northern Illinois and Keith Wenning of Ball State were worth the trip for the seven NFL scouts who watched them perform. Lynch boosted his Heisman Trophy resume on an 85-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter that helped the Huskies regain the lead. He shook off a Ball State defender like a WWE wrestler on third-and-10 deep in NIU territory and rushed for 6 yards on fourth-and-1. Running back Cameron Stingily, used sparingly because of turf toe, punched it in from a yard out on another fourth-down for a 27-24 lead. Wenning, meanwhile, entered the game fourth nationally in passing yards but it was Ball State running back Jahawn Edwards the Huskies struggled to contain. After beating their last three opponents by an average of 34.7 points, the Huskies were right to sense Wednesday night would bring a challenge. They trailed 24-20 at halftime, the first time they fell behind after two quarters since the second game at Idaho. The Huskies hadn't trailed at all since the first quarter of the Central Michigan game Oct. 19. While the game will be remembered for its efficient offenses, both teams had plays they would have liked to take back before halftime. The Cardinals opted for an onside kick after going up 14-10 in the second quarter, but the Huskies recovered and drove for a 20-yard field goal. In the final minute of the half, Huskies coach Rod Carey called two timeouts in an unsuccessful attempt to ice Ball State kicker Scott Secor, who nailed a 43-yarder. The Huskies had no timeouts remaining in a final drive before halftime, and Mathew Sims missed a 52-yard field goal. sryan@tribune.com Twitter @sryantribune</div>

Jeremy Lin returns to Garden where he sparked 'Linsanity' craze across NBA

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://www.nydailynews.com/nydn/img/static/columnists/hdr/col_hdr_lawrence.jpg" width="600"/> Lin ranks as one of the luckiest players in the NBA. He gets to play with Howard and Harden and no longer has to live up to the role the Rockets originally brought him to Houston to fill as the team's franchise player. <img src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1515683.1384374121!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/s.jpg" width="600"/>Andrew Theodorakis/New York Daily News Jeremy Lin thrives in his new role off the bench with the Rockets. PHILADELPHIA -- Jeremy Lin is back in the Garden Thursday night, but this time he knows that 'Linsanity'' is definitely over. He's now a full-time bench player for Kevin McHale's Rockets and no better than third in the team's pecking order, with Dwight Howard the new superstar in town and James Harden playing in his second season in Houston. So Lin, who set the NBA on its ear two seasons ago when he had a couple of miracle weeks winning games for Mike D'Antoni's Knicks, doesn't expect nearly the commotion he saw last season in his first return to New York. 'People have been asking, 'You think it will be a big deal?'' he said after the Rockets' shootaround Wednesday in the Wells Fargo Center. 'I don't really think so. I think people are going to be more excited, or there's going to be a lot of attention around Dwight and James. They are the face of the franchise. I'm hoping I will be a subplot.'' As a subplot, Lin ranks as one of the luckiest players in the NBA. He gets to play with Howard and Harden and no longer has to live up to the role the Rockets originally brought him to Houston to fill. RELATED: 'LINSANITY' NOW A BENCH ACT IN HOUSTON When James Dolan decided not to match the Rockets' $25-million offer-sheet in the summer of 2012, sending Lin on his way, he arrived in Houston as the player the Rockets wanted to build around. That was a new kind of Linsanity, since he doesn't have near the talent or game to warrant being cast as a leading man. But the Rockets put up billboards around Houston and had signs on busses with his smiling face. What a mistake that would have been, to try to make Lin the man, given that he was still developing after his arrival in the NBA as an undrafted player out of Harvard in 2010. Now as the team's sixth man, he's found a more suitable role. 'It's different and definitely an adjustment,'' he said. 'But I'm so thankful, every day. Every day I still get to play and two years ago I was just trying to make it, hoping I would be on the team. The 15th man didn't matter to me. Just as long as I'm on the team. So I always try to take a step back and remember the journey and the bigger picture.'' <img src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1515682.1384374119!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/lawrenceweb14s-2-web.jpg" width="600"/>RELATED: JEREMY WAS OBSESSED WITH LIVING UP TO 'LINSANITY' REP He still has a legion of fans that spend a good amount of time on Twitter bemoaning the presence of Harden, because they have this absurd notion that it hurts the team by taking the ball out of Lin's hands. But they fail to recognize that as Patrick Beverley's backup, Lin is thriving. Going into the game against the Sixers, he was averaging 16 points on 55% shooting, while still turning the ball over at a high rate (3.5 per game). 'I think he's playing better right now than he did at any point for us last season,'' McHale said. 'He's confident. His leg is healthy. He's really been great for us all year long. He put in a big summer of work. His shot is better. We just need for him to do what he does: Attack, make plays and defensively be solid.'' As Lin has produced, the Rockets have seen their rebuilding campaign come together in less than a year. They're contenders to win the West. Again, Lin was lucky. 'I didn't sign with Houston expecting that we would have Dwight and James today,'' he admitted. 'But I do believe God has a perfect plan and I think for me, I'm just going with the flow.'' RELATED: LIN SAYS HIS ETHNICITY WAS A HOOPS 'BARRIER' The way the Rockets were able to rebuild so quickly, a higher power might have been at work. Acting very much like a small-market team with limited resources, the Oklahoma City Thunder decided it could not afford to give Harden an $80-million extension when it was already paying Kevin Durant top dollar, and would soon have to do the same for Russell Westbrook. The tax bill was beyond the Thunder's means, so it traded Harden to Houston at the start of last season. Lucky Break No. 2: Howard decided last summer that being asked to win championships involved too much pressure in Laker-crazed Los Angeles. So one of the game's top divas and defenders opted to play in a more mellow market, becoming the first Laker superstar to leave the team as a free agent. Ask Lin how he likes throwing lobs to Howard and he breaks into a wide smile. 'He definitely changes a game,'' he said. 'Completely.'' Just as Jeremy Lin once did as a Knick, back when Linsanity was all the rage. </div>

Obama to tout U.S. economic recovery in Ohio steel mill visit [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> By Mark Felsenthal <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama is set to tout the U.S. economic recovery during a visit to an Ohio steel mill on Thursday even as he faces more questions about the troubled rollout of his signature healthcare law. Obama will talk about the recovery of the U.S. auto industry, the energy benefits of auto fuel-efficiency standards, and the attractiveness of the United States for foreign investment when he visits the ArcelorMittal Cleveland facility, the White House said. The company has brought back workers furloughed in 2008 during the U.S. recession and has added 150 new jobs, the White House said in a statement. ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steelmaker, is headquartered in Luxembourg. The company’s chief executive, Lakshmi Mittal, is due to meet greet Obama at the Ohio plant. “Industries like steel that rely heavily on demand from the auto manufacturers, including fabricated metals and machinery, have been the source of most of U.S. manufacturing job growth since early 2010,” the White House said in a statement. Obama’s trip to Ohio comes a day after his administration released figures showing that many fewer Americans than originally expected signed up for health insurance plans under the law known as Obamacare since enrollment began on October 1. The administration said on Wednesday that 106,000 people enrolled in insurance plans – far fewer than the millions of people who had been projected to do so. Obama’s fellow Democrats are demanding that the White House swiftly help people whose existing insurance policies have been canceled because of higher standards under the healthcare law and to fix the program’s broken website by the end of the month. On a visit to Louisiana and Florida last week, Obama reminded audiences that Republican governors of those states passed up the chance to expand healthcare coverage to low-income people through an expansion of the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor. He will be able to tell his audience that in Ohio, Republican Governor John Kasich backed a broadening of Medicaid, bringing in $ 2.5 billion in federal funding that is expected to provide coverage for 275,000 state residents.

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><cite>Associated Press</cite> LOS ANGELES -- Serge Ibaka of Oklahoma City and Matt Barnes of the Clippers have been ejected after an altercation in the second quarter of the teams' game. <img src="http://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nba/med/trans/lac.gif" width="600"/> Clippers star Blake Griffin was assessed a technical foul for his part in the incident with 6 seconds left in the first half Wednesday night at Staples Center. Griffin was trying to put the ball up when his arms and Ibaka's became entangled. Barnes shoved Ibaka hard in the chest. Griffin kept trying to get at Ibaka as players from both teams formed a scrum. Ibaka cocked his right fist, but didn't take a swing as Barnes smiled at him. Kevin Durant made the free throw on Griffin's technical and Russell Westbrook hit a 3-pointer to give the Thunder a 62-53 lead at the break. Copyright 2013 by newsandtalking.blogspot.com</div>

Discover the Benefits of Virtual Travel Events [ BeritaTerkini ]

9:27 PM Tukiyooo 0

Yesterday we held another successful online event, Virtual Vacation Agent Expo, with more than 1,500 live attendees. They spent their afternoon sipping coffee at their desks while they networked and learned how to increase their leisure travel sales.  Our online event has evolved to incorporate the most powerful tool on the web today — social media – where travel agents can network and chat with hundreds of colleagues and potential vendors while knowing that everyone is a travel professional.  You can’t do that with Twitter or Facebook chats. You can’t follow up either with those platforms, but you can with the Virtual Vacation Agent Expo. Each participant registers and opts in to be part of the discussion and to continue that discussion long after the show itself has ended. We also use video extensively. According to Google, 95 percent of all media consumed today is video on the web.  Each of our Virtual Events includes dedicated video segments that include, but aren’t limited to, the following: Editor Insights, Agent Insights, Workshops, Seminars and Booth videos.  In addition, we feature live interactive presentations and webinars, a powerful B2B marketing tool, have been taken to a new level with our Virtual Events. Agents can participate in live polls, interactive discussions and learn from top presenters in the industry.  When these events first came online years ago, many jumped on board temporarily, only to fade into the distance. Part of that was related to subpar providers that couldn’t deliver on the experience and left the market as a result.  They left a group of dissatisfied vendors and agents in the process and soured the market on such events. We never wavered and have continued to invest in next generation technology to meet the gap for the 95 percent of travel agents who never make it to a physical event, as well as many who do, but love the ease and access of the virtual world, too. The focus on the technology, and the end user, has resulted in a resurgence in demand to host events that produce quantitative results for all involved. Now you’ve heard me talk about the extraordinary benefits of our Virtual Events. Now hear directly from the travel agents who just participated in our two-day virtual Vacation Agent Expo: “I like the ability to talk freely and communicate as opposed to feel like I am being pressured to buy a product or service.” “I like virtual events because the do not take time away from your business to travel to an event.” “I love the fact that I can access all the info I need and already have it stored on my computer as a PDF, not a paper brochure that can get lost or damaged.” “This is my first Expo……loving it so far!” “Thank you. I’m also an event planner. Virtual events allow me to participate when time and budget keeps me at my computer.” “I would like to participate in future virtual trade shows — the last one I attended I did not learn much so I quit attending. This one has turned out to be very beneficial.” “Anytime I can sit at my desk and do an expo is great. It saves me time and money. I especially enjoyed the presentation by Munich Airport and the IATAN exhibit.  The setup  is wonderful…I love technology.” “This has been a great expo. Vacation Agent really knows how to help travel agents. I especially liked all the webinars, especially the Munich Airport Experience and How to Make Money Selling Airlines. I look forward to the next expo!”  “It saves money with hotels, travel expenses  and registration costs, plus I can always view the presentations at a later time.” Now that’s just some of the agent feedback.  Now to wrap, here’s just one supplier’s thoughts on Virtual Events: “For the past three years I have represented Munich Airport (MUC) at numerous travAlliancemedia Virtual Travel Expos. I find these virtual expos to be an invaluable educational medium for reaching both current and potential travel agent partners. Virtual booths engage travel agents in an exciting online experience of the airport. They offer educational and entertaining videos, downloadable brochures as well as communication via live chat with follow-up e-mails and phone calls after the show. This makes this the ‘perfect forum’ for travel commerce. I always receive positive feedback from travel agents, who now book their clients via MUC after visiting the airport’s virtual booth. In addition, with this technology we are able to potentially reach a much larger target audience with just the click of a mouse.”—Angela Geissler, account director-North America, Munich Airport. //

Fan trying to trade wedding ring on Craigslist for Chiefs

9:22 PM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Seems reasonable. With the Kansas City Chiefs rolling along at 9-0, tickets for the Denver Broncos' visit to Arrowhead Stadium on December 1st are a hot commodity (the two teams also meet this weekend, in Denver). One woman put up a Craigslist ad looking to trade her wedding ring (appraised at $3,100), for two tickets to the Chiefs' home game, in order to treat her husband as a 40th birthday present, according to the Denver Post. While that may seem extreme, the fan clarified that the ring is from a previous marriage, not her current one. Via the Denver Post: [Wedding Ring Lady] wrote in the email that the ring 'holds no value to me and is a lot easier to part with over tickets than handing that much cash over for the tickets.' WRL said that she has indeed had some offers for her barter, but she's turned them down. She's currently working with someone on an offer that she likes, and she said that she should know if it's all going to work out in the next day or so.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hi Y’all…and Happy Thursday to all you discerning readers of the IWS Radio website. Seems as though, I read yesterday that Jayman is getting ready for the holiday season, and is about to take a sabbatical from all things IWS Radio wise. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdew8-FI5RpxU6xGfMJr7T_Mn-jynPJJVaICYaE_W01YMOp8q8NRyd_SvEnhBEJ7MAw2vRpxPhuurr2PzvboUZzVBGzp7KUGENxwsBp9i3j-VMNcOZqFJIrQFZDSHVVSD_1azeugEGmdL3/s1600/thanksgiving_sexy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdew8-FI5RpxU6xGfMJr7T_Mn-jynPJJVaICYaE_W01YMOp8q8NRyd_SvEnhBEJ7MAw2vRpxPhuurr2PzvboUZzVBGzp7KUGENxwsBp9i3j-VMNcOZqFJIrQFZDSHVVSD_1azeugEGmdL3/s400/thanksgiving_sexy.jpg" width="400" /></a>He says he is going to take off on the 23rd of this month, and head northerly and slightly west or so, and camp his creativity in of all places, Omaha, Nebraska. To Jayman, I bid you a good stay, a good holiday, and I hope that your family is actually glad that you are spending time with them. As to a certain housekeeping note, Jay informed me that if he is murdered while in Omaha, he has written down on a piece of *******, that explains why *********  **** killed him. I appreciate that, and if not too drunk upon his demise while on holiday, I will follow-up upon that. Seriously though? I know that Jayman loves his family, and well…they are a very nice family, and he is a fairly nice guy. I dearly love my family, except for one sister, and… I love many people with whom I have united with, reunited with, discovered, and re-discovered. Many of whom, helped Schmoop and I through a most tumultuous this time last year. I have always been a sucker for Thanksgiving, because it was the one time a year that all of my family was together…all day. As the youngest of nine, it wasn’t Christmas Eve when we gathered at 7 PM for a few hours that turned me on, it was Thanksgiving…Thanksgiving was all day family…I miss it…I loved it. I am so happy that Jayman is seeking a week of solace away with his family as they celebrate the white man inviting Indians over for a meal, taking their land, all the while drugging the redskin with tryptophan… That is so real, so God-Sent, so American!!

Death Grips Give Away Their New Album ‘Government Plates’ [ BeritaTerkini ]

<h2>The noise-rap group posted the 11-song set online</h2> <div class="body"> A little over a year after noise-rap malcontents Death Grips raised a middle finger to the music industry by posting their album No Love Deep Web as a free download on their website, they’ve just posted another new record. Their third full-length, Government Plates, is now available to download here and here and stream in the Soundcloud below. The group also posted each of the LP’s 11 tracks to its YouTube channel with visuals. Photos: Death Grips and other Bands at Pitchfork Paris The record comes just a few days before No Love Deep Web will be getting an official physical release, via a partnership with Harvest Records. On Tuesday, the album will be available – with artwork that sanitizes the pink phallus that graced the art accompanying the free download – as a CD, vinyl and newly priced download. When Death Grips released the album last year, they did it against the wishes of their label at the time, Epic. The reasoning they gave for making the album available was that Epic had pushed the record’s release date into 2013. The label subsequently dropped Death Grips from its roster. Since then the trio has taken well to doing things for themselves, with some members touring festivals (for better or worse) while drummer Zach Hill worked on Death Grips–related projects. The band announced Hill’s hiatus in May with a post that said in a statement to Pitchfork, “Zach is currently writing, directing and soundtracking an original feature film. . . The film will be soundtracked with all new Death Grips music. He is also working on and recording the new Death Grips album at the moment.” In August, the trio previewed Government Plates when they posted a video and download link for the track “Birds” to Facebook. At the time, Death Grips provided no context for the post. Stream Government Plates below:  </div> //

Aquino under pressure over typhoon aid, U.S. carrier to arrive [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> By Stuart Grudgings and Andrew R.C. Marshall <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> TACLOBAN, Philippines (Reuters) – Philippine President Benigno Aquino was under growing pressure on Thursday to speed up the distribution of food, water and medicine to desperate survivors of a powerful typhoon and to get paralyzed local governments functioning. Widespread looting of rice stocks and other supplies broke out across the central Philippines on Wednesday despite the deployment of solders to maintain law and order. While international relief efforts have picked up, many petrol station owners whose businesses were spared have refused to reopen, leaving little fuel for trucks needed to move supplies and medical teams around the devastated areas nearly a week after Typhoon Haiyan struck. Mayor Alfred Romualdez said worst-hit Tacloban city lacked manpower and vehicles to deliver supplies and to clear bodies off the streets. “We’re on the seventh day and there are still bodies on the road,” he told Reuters. “It’s scary,” Romualdez said. “There is a request from a community to come and collect bodies, they say it’s five or 10. When we get there it’s 40.” He said bodies were being found frequently in different areas of the city. <div class="body-related"> <div class="img-wrap"> <div class="cta-overlay"> View gallery.” </div> <img alt="City mayor Romualdez turns emotional as he talks about …" class="body-related-thumb lzbg" height="201px" src="http://l.yimg.com/os/mit/media/m/base/images/transparent-1093278.png" style="" title="" width="300px"> </div> <div class="body-related-title photo-caption" style="width: 300px;">City mayor Alfred S.

The carrier has 5,000 sailors and more than 80 aircraft on board and will make a significant difference to relief efforts following one of the strongest storms on record. There are already more than 300 U.S. soldiers on the ground. Japan was also planning to send up to 1,000 troops as well as naval vessels and aircraft, in what could be Tokyo’s biggest postwar military deployment.

He has said the death toll might have been higher had it not been for the evacuation of people and the readying of relief supplies. The Philippines formally asked Washington for help on Saturday, one day after the storm slammed into cities and towns in the central Philippines, the U.S. State Department said. Aquino has also triggered questions over the loss of life, citing a much lower death toll than the 10,000 estimated by local officials. Official confirmed deaths stood at 2,357 on Thursday, a figure aid workers expect to rise. The preliminary number of missing as of Wednesday, according to the Red Cross, was 22,000. It has cautioned that number could include people who have since been located. <div class="body-related"> <div class="img-wrap"> <div class="cta-overlay"> View gallery.” </div> <img alt="South Korean military crew members walk near two South …" class="body-related-thumb lzbg" height="187px" src="http://l.yimg.com/os/mit/media/m/base/images/transparent-1093278.png" style="" title="" width="300px"> </div> <div class="body-related-title photo-caption" style="width: 300px;">South Korean military crew members walk near two South Korean Air Force C-130 cargo planes carrying  …</div> </div> More the 544,600 people have been displaced by the storm and nearly 12 percent of the population directly affected, the United Nations said. Anger and frustration has been boiling over as essential supplies fail to reach many of those in need. Food and other goods have stacked up at the airport in Tacloban, for example. Some areas have appeared to teeter near anarchy amid widespread looting of shops and warehouses for food and water. Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) described a bleak situation in Guiuan, home to 45,000 people. “People are living out in the open … The needs are immense and there are a lot of surrounding villages that are not yet covered by any aid organizations,” Alexis Moens, MSF’s assessment team leader, said in a statement. <div class="body-related"> <div class="img-wrap"> <div class="cta-overlay"> View gallery.” </div> <img alt="Stacks of rice are shown at Stop Hunger Now, where …" class="body-related-thumb lzbg" height="200px" src="http://l.yimg.com/os/mit/media/m/base/images/transparent-1093278.png" style="" title="" width="300px"> </div> <div class="body-related-title photo-caption" style="width: 300px;">Stacks of rice are shown at Stop Hunger Now, where an employee was loading food and medical supplies …</div> </div> LOOTING IS “SELF-PRESERVATION” Tacloban city administrator Tecson John Lim said 90 percent of the coastal city of 220,000 people had been destroyed by the typhoon and the wall of seawater it shoved ashore, with only 20 percent of residents receiving aid. Houses were now being looted because warehouses were empty, he said. “The looting is not criminality. It is self-preservation,” Lim told Reuters. There are not enough flights from Tacloban airport to cope with the exodus from the stricken city. As darkness fell on Wednesday, Philippine Special Forces held back hundreds of people, many of whom had walked for hours to reach the airport and then waited for days with little or no food or water. <div class="body-related"> <div class="img-wrap"> <div class="cta-overlay"> View gallery.” </div> <img alt="The advance party of the Disaster Assistance Response …" class="body-related-thumb lzbg" height="200px" src="http://l.yimg.com/os/mit/media/m/base/images/transparent-1093278.png" style="" title="" width="300px"> </div> <div class="body-related-title photo-caption" style="width: 300px;">The advance party of the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) deploys to Hawaii from Canadian Fo …</div> </div> When asked how she and her four children endured three days of waiting in searing heat and torrential downpours, Marivic Badilla, 41, held up a small battered umbrella. “We have been sheltering under this,” she said, tears streaming down her face. Many people complained that military families were given priority to board the C-130 cargo planes. “If you have a friend or relative in the military, you get priority,” said Violeta Duzar, 57, who had waited at the airport since Sunday with eight family members, including children. None of the aid passing through the airport had been distributed to the needy crowd at its gates. The overall financial cost of the destruction was hard to assess. Initial estimates varied widely, with a report from German-based CEDIM Forensic Disaster Analysis putting the total at $ 8 billion to $ 19 billion.

Republicans seek more HealthCare.gov testimony from White House [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> By Roberta Rampton <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have asked President Barack Obama’s current and former top healthcare advisers to testify next week on the rocky rollout of Obamacare, but the White House has so far not agreed to the idea. Darrell Issa, the chairman of the committee, and Jim Jordan, who chairs one of its subcommittees, asked the White House to allow Jeanne Lambrew, a senior White House official responsible for healthcare policy, to appear at a November 20 hearing. They also invited Nancy-Ann DeParle, Obama’s former top health adviser, who has left the White House. Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama’s counsel, told the lawmakers in a letter dated Tuesday that the administration had already provided an “extraordinary” amount of information about the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. She noted recent testimony and briefings on Capitol Hill from senior officials involved in Obamacare, including two White House information technology officials – Todd Park, the chief technology officer, and Steven VanRoekel, the chief information officer, who testified on Wednesday. The Oversight Committee subpoenaed Park to testify after the White House said initially he would be too busy fixing the website to appear before the committee until December. At Wednesday’s hearing, Jordan said Lambrew and DeParle should appear because “they are the political people in charge” and determined the website should launch on October 1 despite not being ready to go live. Ruemmler did not say no – but she did not say yes, either. “I would encourage you to continue to direct your inquiries to the agencies responsible for implementing the ACA,” Ruemmler wrote in the letter. “Requesting the testimony of senior White House officials on the broad and amorphous range of issues referenced in your letter is an extraordinary step that is not tied to any legitimate oversight interest of the committee,” Ruemmler said.

Facebook representatives reached out to Snapchat in recent weeks to discuss the all-cash deal, which would have been Facebook's largest acquisition ever, the report said, citing anonymous sources. Facebook declined to comment. Snapchat could not immediately be reached for comment. Snapchat, which allows consumers to send smartphone photos which automatically disappear after a few seconds, has proven popular among teenage users. The report of Facebook's interest in Snapchat comes a couple of weeks after Facebook, the world's No. 1 Internet social network, acknowledged that it was seeing a decline in daily use by young teenagers in the U.S., although it said overall use by teenagers was stable. Shares of Facebook were up 3.1 percent at $48.05 in afternoon trading today. <img src="http://www.independent.ie/editorial/images/logo-itunes.jpg" width="600"/> <img src="http://www.independent.ie/editorial/images/playstore.png" width="600"/></div>

Japan third quarter GDP slows, consumption expected to pick up again

The 0.5 percent expansion in July-September compares with the median estimate for a 0.4 percent increase and followed 0.9 percent growth in April-June, data showed on Thursday. It was a fourth successive quarter of growth, the best run for the world's third-largest economy in three years. A tighter labor market and signs of rising wages should bolster consumer spending in coming quarters, economists said. Retail sales are likely to pick up before a sales tax rise in April and stimulus spending should help growth, which bodes well for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push to foster self-sustaining growth and end 15 years of mild deflation. However, capital expenditure growth slowed to 0.2 percent in July-September, well below a median estimate of 0.8 percent and suggesting companies remain reluctant to deliver the increased investment needed to secure a sustained recovery. 'Economic growth is expected to accelerate in the final quarter of this year. Despite the soft headline figure today, there's no need to be pessimistic about the outlook,' said Junko Nishioka, chief economist at RBS Securities. 'The government's stimulus package is likely to help boost capital expenditure. The ball is in the government's court so I don't think the Bank of Japan will come under pressure for further monetary easing any time soon.' Annualized third-quarter growth was 1.9 percent, higher than the median forecast of 1.7 percent, Cabinet Office data showed. Private consumption, which makes up about 60 percent of the economy, grew 0.1 percent in July-September, matching the median estimate and following a revised 0.6 percent growth in April-June as falls in Japanese shares weighed on consumer sentiment. External demand subtracted 0.5 percentage point from GDP in July-September, more than the median estimate for a 0.4 percentage point subtraction. That follows a revised 0.1 percentage point contribution in the previous quarter. Exports to Southeast Asia weakened as large capital outflows from the region slowed growth. However, economists expect exports to improve going into next year as overseas economies stabilize. Inventories contributed 0.4 percentage point to GDP in the third quarter, after detracting 0.1 percentage points in the previous quarter. Abe's plan is to combine fiscal spending, economic reforms and monetary stimulus to pull Japan out of a decades-long economic slump.
