May 5, CNNINDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (AP) -- A pregnant bank teller who lost the twins she was carrying after being shot during a holdup choked back tears Saturday as she recalled lying on the bank's floor, bleeding and pleading for help, as the gunman demanded money from her co-workers.Katherin Shuffield, 30, said the masked gunman jumped over her teller station and shot her once in the abdomen April 22 just after the Huntington Bank branch had opened for the day.As she lay bleeding on the floor, she said the gunman, who remains at large, refused to let her co-workers call 911 to get her medical assistance."I said, 'Please help me! He shot me, he shot me! My babies!' He didn't let anybody do anything because he was more worried about taking the money," Shuffield said during a news conference

For weeks gas prices have been soaring to record heights. Now auto dealers in the Grand Rapids area say those high gas prices are hurting sales of big vehicles. A growing number of savvy shoppers are in the market for more fuel efficient cars. The average truck or SUV gets about 15 miles to the gallon and many smaller cars get twice that much. So, it’s no surprise that many people are looking for a change. Jennifer and Billy Couch spent the day at Keller Ford shopping for not one but two new cars and fuel efficiency is the most important thing on their minds. “I need something over 30 miles a gallon,” said Billy Couch. With gas prices are soaring above $3.75, the couple says they’re spending nearly $200 a week on gas. The couple is among growing number people tradin

It looks like the cuts by the Fed in interest rates have had a calming effect on potential sub-prime mortgage resets. From a story in the L.A. Times: The great mortgage reset of 2008 isn't turning out quite as advertised.Thanks to interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, payments on sub-prime loans with expiring "teaser" rates are going up only modestly when the loans start adjusting -- by just 1% on average last month, one study found...Defaults and foreclosures are still rising, however -- it's just that the culprit isn't solely the payment shocks once feared. Instead, industry experts put most of the blame on tumbling housing prices, which have left many borrowers owing more than their homes are worth after making little or no down payment, taking on second mortgages o

How much would you pay to have a small memory chip implanted in your brain if that chip would double the capacity of your short-term memory? Or guarantee that you would never again forget a face or a name? There’s good reason to consider such offers. Although our memories are sometimes spectacular — we are very good at recognizing photos, for example — our memory capacities are often disappointing. Faulty memories have been known to lead to erroneous eyewitness testimony (and false imprisonment), to marital friction (in the form of overlooked anniversaries) and even death (sky divers have been known to forget to pull their ripcords — accounting, by one estimate, for approximately 6 percent of sky-diving fatalities). The dubious dynamics of memory leave us vulnerable to the predatio

Submitted By: Greg HaehlToday, it has never been more important for University students to make sure they are covered by health insurance. University student health insurance is offered through a few different companies but benefits can vary widely. It might seem overwhelming when it comes time to choose the right health insurance provider for you. In addition to finding the right health insurance, there is still a health plan that needs to be chosen. Many Universities offer health insurance that’s usually affordable but may lack in coverage which many students find unacceptable, and for good reason. No matter the price of the insurance, it certainly isn’t wise to pay for coverage that won’t help financially if there were a medical emergency. When looking for University student healt
