Uploaded by on Jan 3, 2012
Gallup is reporting that Americans' economic confidence continued to improve in December. Gallup's Economic Confidence Index reached -38 as consumers expressed more optimism in December than at any time since June. However, the numbers show that consumers remain less confident than they were earlier in 2011 and in December of the previous two years. Gallup says U.S. economic confidence plummeted in August during debt ceiling debates in Washington. The Economic Confidence Index fell to -52, the worst since February 2009. Since then, the Gallup Index has improved but has not recovered to earlier 2011 levels.

We apologize to our patients for the disruption caused by Express Scripts' stance and are offering a discount in the cost of enrolling in our Prescription Savings Club. In our stores, pharmacists are reporting that our customers covered by Express Scripts plans are responding in significant numbers and choosing to stay with Walgreens."

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 4th January 2012

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A health regime is paying off and you're excited to display the results. This is a great time to go on a shopping spree. Adding sleek new items to your wardrobe fuels your excitement to go out. Go ahead and spend a little more money than usual; you've earned the right to a treat. Don't let a jealous friend's comments discourage you from continuing your program. The sight of your sleek physique makes many people feel guilty for not taking better care of themselves.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You're intent on enjoying yourself, and nobody had better get in your way! Too often, colleagues and neighbours conspire to ruin your fun, warning against the excesses you love most. Fortunately, you'll have a golden opportunity to enjoy all of your favourite vices without input from these pests. If you're looking for love, you'll find it a beautiful garden or park. Keep your eye open for someone wearing a spotless white shirt. Be ready to rescue them from an overly zealous dog.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Whipping your household into shape is just the sort of project you enjoy. You can't think clearly when you're surrounded by clutter. If you have difficulty letting go of sentimental objects, store them into decorative boxes and bins, and stack them where they'll be protected from the wear and tear of life. It's also important to understand the difference between junk and keepsakes. Hold on to a few mementoes from your past, and throw away anything that isn't useful or beautiful.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Someone from your past will drop you a line or call out of the blue. It's exciting and a little nerve wracking to reconnect. You're the type who prefers having a close circle of friends to a vast array of acquaintances. Making room for another person will be challenging. If your old friend asks for money, refuse. You've been burned too many times to fall for that old trick. Stick close to the people who have been loyal through good times and bad.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Attending to financial matters makes you feel productive. It's time to take time out of your busy schedule to open a savings account, make a deposit, or juggle your portfolio. If you don't know how to manage your money, take a class. A business or romantic partner will feel threatened by your decision to become more financially savvy. You can't afford to be in the dark any longer. You'll sleep easier when you learn how to make your hard earned cash work for you.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) The intellectual stimulation you crave is on the way. A teacher with a velvety voice will renew your passion for a subject that captivated you as a child. Cooking, pottery, and gardening are all areas worth exploring. Such activities give you a chance to express your creative side. A perfectionist like you can't help experimenting with new techniques. By taking careful notes on your progress, you'll perfect a method that becomes the standard for every beginner.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Sneaking off to a private hideaway with a lover is strongly favoured. You long to escape the prying eyes of nosy colleagues and boisterous youngsters. When you're alone with your amour, the rest of the world drops away, as if by magic. It's as if you create a whole new Universe that is comprised just for the two of you. If you're single, it may be because admirers think you're inaccessible. Drop your dignified demeanour and let your passion for life shine through.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Working on the behalf of friends is a great use of your energy. It's difficult for you to express your affection for people in words. Therefore, whenever you get a chance to demonstrate your loyalty, you grab it. Use your expertise to facilitate a deal, check a contract, or restore a broken appliance to its original lustre. If your home is hopelessly messy, hire a cleaner. This one time investment will save you lots of time and frustration.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A new career opportunity is on the horizon. You've got to pursue it relentlessly, or a rival will steal your thunder. The competition for this position is fierce. Fortunately, your expert knowledge will put you towards the head of the pack. Don't rest on your laurels. Polish your interviewing skills with someone who has lots of experience hiring people. Their feedback will prove invaluable. Resist the urge to give someone false praise as a means to win their approval.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Making changes to an outmoded institution is an exciting challenge. If there's anything you hate, it's waste. By streamlining this organisation, you'll prolong its life and make it more accessible to people who need it. Resist the urge to spend lots of money on cosmetic changes. Use the resources you have on basic infrastructure. This will increase productivity and profits, allowing you to perform a dramatic makeover down the line.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You've got some romantic competition. Don't assume that your lover will remain steadfast and loyal. You've got to give them a reason to stay true to you. Spring for a beautiful gift, a candlelit dinner for two, or a relaxing break. You shouldn't need a reason to do something special for the one you adore. Single? Then take extra care with your appearance. Take note of the colours and styles that suit you best. If you're not sure, ask a fashionable Libra for guidance.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your partner is working hard to help you; don't get in their way. You have to admit, you have a tendency to play when you should be toiling away. The chance to fulfil a childhood dream is looming ahead. It will elude you if you don't make basic preparations. Practice, rehearse, and create some compelling work samples. Advertise. Spread word of your intention. Dress the part of a professional. Leaving everything until the last minute will be a terrible waste of a great opportunity.

"The main problem with the constitution is that it is destroying the constitutional order, the new Basic Law is really a one party basic law," said trade unionist Kornel Arok.
