Video: Santorum, Romney vie to be GOP front-runner



>>> now to the race for the republican nomination and now rick santorum challenging mitt romney to be the undisputed front-runner, both are challenging one another's record and the president's just ten days before the michigan primary . we get our report tonight from nbc's ron mott.

>> thank you very much.

>> reporter: rick santorum took a swipe at the president's energy agenda today and got some heat in exchange.

>> it's not about you. it's not about you. it's not about your quality of life . it's not about your jobs. it's about some phony ideal, some phony theology. oh, not a theology based on the bible. a different theology. but no less a theology.

>> reporter: the obama re- election campaign quickly fired back, calling it quote, just the latest low in a republican campaign that has been fuelled by distortions, ugliness and searing pessimism and negativity. santorum and romney are grappling with each other over who gave out money.

>> he bailed out the salt lake city olympic games by going to congress to ask them for tens of millions of dollars to bail out the salt lake city olympic games .

>> reporter: something the democratic national committee has also weaponized in a new ad.

>> that bill to american taxpayers is estimated to be $1.3 billion. that's outrageous.

>> reporter: today, in ohio --

>> will you join me? i'll take that as a yes.

>> reporter: a hometown welcome for the former pennsylvania senator as he swung back at charges by the romney campaign that he was a big-time spender for abused earmarks.

>> rick santorum supported billions in earmarks.

>> the focus is millions of dollars in ad campaigns against santorum . and romney sought to slow santorum 's surge in the polls.

>> i hope people look at his record. he voted for billions of dollars of earmarks. if you want a fiscal conservative , you can't vote for rick santorum because he's not.

>> reporter: newt gingrich weighed in on all this negativity today while campaigning down in georgia. he says mitt romney had gone on the attack against rick santorum in michigan much like he did against gingrich in florida saying it is an unworthy way for someone to become president of the u.s.

Are you working 11 hours a day? How depressing!

Researchers in Finland studied more than 2,000 white-collar workers over five years. The results were depressing. WBBH's Nick Ciletti reports.

By TODAY.com staff

People who worked more than 11 hours a day are more were more than twice as likely to be depressed than their co-workers who put in an 8-hour day.

"There has to be different outlets of enjoyment in a person's life," said Mabel Lopez, a clinical psychologist.

It's a three-day weekend for many Americans. Get out there and unwind.

Are you working more than 11 hours a day?

Insurance Answers, of a Sort, From Ankara - NYTimes.com

The U.S. Embassy in Ankara this week delivered a somewhat dog-eared
valentine to Americans living in Turkey, in the form of details about the new requirement to enroll in Turkish national health insurance.

American diplomats were briefed last week by officials from the
Turkish Social Security Institution, or S.G.K., on the new General
Health Insurance law.

?Unfortunately, the Embassy has still not received adequate clarification from Turkish authorities on several key points of the law,? according to the message on its Web site.

One hitch seems to be that the United States, unlike some other countries, lacks a bilateral agreement with Turkey that would exempt Americans from the new requirement. British citizens, for example, have been told by their mission in Ankara that they are exempt.

People who do wish to register have to meet criteria listed in the
embassy?s posting.

In their session with the U.S. envoys, the Turkish officials also confirmed that U.S. citizens who choose not to participate in the insurance plan would
not face fines or other punishment, unless they tried to sign up later.

Missing the deadlines could prove costly. Late-comers must pay the
monthly premiums, retroactive premiums, interest on the late premiums
and a fine equal to one month of the Turkish minimum wage. (Turkey announced late last year that it would raise the official minimum wage for 2012 by more than12 percent in two stages, reaching 739 lira, or $417, by July.)

How much is the insurance? The embassy message says it is 212.76 lira per month, or $120, and the premiums would automatically increase each January and July.

What the policy covers is unclear. Also unexplained is how people who don?t need the coverage can let Ankara know that.

We?ve heard that people have begun the process of registering, and even
though it means multiple trips to multiple offices, they report that it has been a fairly pleasant experience. What are most of you finding?
