Rate Hikes by Foreign Central Banks Could End the Party for U.S. Investors - Money Morning

By Shah Gilani, Contributing Editor, Money Morning

William McChesney Martin Jr., the revered former head of the U.S. Federal Reserve, is remembered for many things - including an unprecedented term as chairman that lasted from March 1951 to January 1970.

But Martin is perhaps best remembered for the central-banking aphorism that says that the Fed's most important job is "to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going." (See accompanying graphic below.)

Death Rate Declining for Elders With Heart Failure

By Bill Hendrick

WebMD Health News

Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD

April 5, 2011 -- Death rates after hospitalization for patients 80 and older with heart failure have dropped significantly in the past decade, but readmissions for the disorder -- common among the elderly -- are frequent, a new study shows.
Heart failure is one of the most common reasons older patients are readmitted to hospitals. This is not likely to change in coming years, in part because people 80 and older make up the fastest growing segment of the older population.
Researchers studied 21,397 U.S. veterans aged 80 and older who had been hospitalized at least once for heart failure from 1999 through 2008.
