Million figure gets thrown around so much. Thats why thats so misleading. It is reimbursements for fee for service treatment.

Were told that such retrenchment is required to beat back disorder, that its the only way to stamp out terrorism, or prevent foreign meddling. In accordance with this logic, we should support tyrants like bashar alassad, who drops barrel bombs to massacre innocent children, because the alternative is surely worse. The increasing skepticism of our

Advisories stay in place until at most until midnight much all freezing up with temps in the 20s, fog out there, and that tonight. In terms of the lows, stops about the can alley, everyone else below that mark, travel with caution, same idea for tomorrow morning, taking a look at the rest of the week in a few minute. Breaking news on the mbta shutting down because a metal great came loose and hanging from the ceiling, while the mbta fixes this emergency, busing passengers, this is the third branch of the mbta having storm. Jim shields is live, bill. Hoping this is not a harbinger of things to come, one or two inches here and there, a problem on the redline here, this afternoon you had a problem on the green line.

The rest states are closing, and the early count mitch mcconnell, minority leader is leading democratic challenger Alison Lundergan grimes, and democrats see it as a possible opportunity for a pickup. In the senate race in georgia, retired senator, filling his seat, Michelle Nunn is facing david prideaux. The former c. E. O. Of dollar general. And you see the third candidate there, that is a potential spoiler, amanda in the mix. One of the candidates needs 50 of the vote to avoid a runoff tonight.
