WASHINGTON air jordan 6 gatorade green suede mens , Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.


The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy, were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.


Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy, saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.


Yellen, 67 air jordan 6s gatorade green mens , took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke, who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.


In the public debut in her new role, Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.


Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate air jordan 6 gatorade green mens shoes , now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.


"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.


While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected cheap air jordan 6 gatorade green mens , Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.


The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January, citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.


The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying, which now totals 65 billion dollars a month, at a similar pace at each Fed meeting and end it by the end of 2014, provided the economy develops generally in line with expectations.


Yellen also highlighted the Fed's financial regulatory role, saying that the work of making the financial system more robust " has not yet been completed."

URUMQI air jordan 6 gatorade green mens , July 26 (Xinhua) -- A man from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has found a ""jumping mouse"" or dwarf three-toed jerboa, which is the smallest rodent in the world.


Chen Wenjie, a bird lover, discovered the jerboa when driving on a village road in Hotan Prefecture. Under the car lamp, the hopping ""mouse"" with pig-like face and a body little big larger than a cap of bottled water, stopped in front of Chen's car.


Its weight equals to one yuan coin jordan 6 gatorade green mens retail , Chen said. Out of curiosity, he put it into an empty bottle and brought it back home.


""It's a sleepy creature and only comes out of the bottle at night. In an extreme case, it slept for around 17 hours in one day, wrapping its long tail around its neck and ignoring all noises,"" Chen said.


Jiang Wei, researcher with the center for disease control and prevention in Xinjiang jordan 6 gatorade green suede mens , identified that it's not a mouse but a dwarf three-towed jerboa, a species of rodent which usually appears in the deserts of southern Xinjiang.


Jiang said the jerboa moves over its dry desert habitat by long hops. Its tail is two times its body length. It's too small to store fat, so it stores additional fat in the tail.


The life span of the curious jerboa is only around two years. They have only three or four offspring each year, with the newborns the size of a peanut kernel, said Jiang.


They usually live in China's Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia as well as foreign countries including Kazakhstan.


Chen Wenjie still likes to call it a ""jumping mouse"". He told Xinhua that he has since released the creature.
