NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The nation's largest bank by assets bank reported a $5.6 billion profit in the three months that ended in September. It's notable considering the bank has been dogged in recent months by a cyber attack on its accounts, a CEO undergoing cancer treatment and ongoing legal costs related to the financial crisis.

This time last year the bank reported a rare loss due to $9.3 billion it set aside for legal expenses at that time. JPMorgan (JPM) eventually finalized a $13 billion settlement for selling mortgages ahead of the financial crisis.

Despite the better news this autumn, the bank's earnings came in slightly below Wall Street forecasts and shares of JPMorgan fell 1% in morning trading.

The bank's earnings were posted on a website hours before they were meant to be released. A JPMorgan spokesman blamed shareholder.com, a third-party vendor that posts earnings to the site, for the snafu.

"While challenges remain in the global economic recovery, the U.S. economy is an exception, showing signs of steady improvement," said Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon in the earnings release. "Corporate America is in good shape with strong balance sheets and employment trends continue to be positive."

Jamie Dimon is full steam ahead: Dimon himself has been a key focus on the bank's shareholders. He underwent treatment for throat cancer this summer, and just last week he made his first public appearance since finishing his regime.

" I never stopped working, though I did take care of myself, get a lot of rest," Dimon said on a conference call with media Tuesday. " I'm starting to build back my schedule. But I feel good and I'm happy the treatments are over."

Gusty winds, uprooted trees, torn roofs of hutments and sheds and snapped electric cables bore testimony to the impact of severe cyclonic storm 'Hudhud' which hit Andhra Pradesh's coastal districts on Sunday.

Normal life was thrown completely out of gear as winds with a speed of 170 to 180 kmph battered Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts today.

The very severe cyclonic storm made the landfall in Visakhapatnam before noon.

The gale, accompanied by heavy downpour, resulted in trees being uprooted and roofs of thatched huts and sheds swept away.

Electric poles, cables and hoardings fell on the roads at many places in Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts.

The impact of the gale was the most in Visakhapatnam.

"Windows are broken due to the wind. We are feeling the impact even if the windows are closed," said many a residents of Visakhapatnam.

Communication systems were badly affected in Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts.

IF YOU'RE a young person considering a move to the bush, 86-year-old Valerie Thomas has some words of wisdom for you.

"It's for you if you want a challenge," she said.

The spritely senior was 24 years old, and a private-school educated city girl from Brisbane, when she married a farmer and moved to a property north-west of Roma called Pinnacle.

"I went out to live in a tin shed. My mother first came out with me," she said.

"She was so shocked she couldn't believe her eyes."

Valerie moved to the bush when she married Fred Thomas, and they went on to raise six children together.

"My father knew Fred's father, they must have got talking," she said.

"That's how I got the opportunity to go out to their farm where I met Fred."

Valerie said while she had a very rich life in Brisbane, her move to the bush was exciting.

"I loved the land," she said.

In the health care business these days, its all about the networks.

Spurred on by competition on the new Affordable Care Act exchanges, health insurers are moving to pare down their provider networks, promising participating hospitals and doctors more patients in exchange for lower payments.

Docs are busy selling out their practices to hospitals that can negotiate better rates for their services, giving up their independence to become salaried hospital employees.

And together, hospitals and large medical groups are joining accountable care networks in which, like insurers, they agree to provide all of a familys medical needs for a fixed annual fee.

Its one reason perhaps a big reason why medical costs have begun to level off in recent years. But its not without its trade-offs. Lower rates and higher volumes at hospitals and doctors offices often translate into inferior service for patients longer waits, rushed appointments, less help from the staff. And if you find yourself outside the network, its apt to be very expensive, whether you intended to go out of network or not.

There have been numerous stories in the news recently about people who carefully take the time and effort to arrange for an in-network surgeon to perform an operation at an in-network hospital only to find a bill in their mailbox a few weeks later for thousands of dollars from the out-of-network anesthesiologist, or pathologist, or assistant surgeon who were brought in on the operation without their knowledge and approval.

Or the people who, even in the ambulance, have the presence of mind to request to be taken to an in-network hospital, only to find out later that the entire emergency room operations has been contracted out to an out-of-network provider who bills at three, five, even 10 times the in-network reimbursement rate.

Theres no data on how often this happens, but as networks have tightened, industry experts say, its happening more and more. A recent study ordered up by the Texas legislature found that half of the hospitals that participated in the networks of that states three biggest health plans had no in-network emergency room doctors. And nationally, an estimated 65 percent of hospitals contract out some or all of their emergency room functions. Many of the largest ER contractors do not participate in any insurance networks.

Hospitals say they often have no choice but to rely on non-staff doctors because there are not enough willing to work on a hospital salary or to put it another way, some hospitals refuse to pay the market rate. Hospitals also argue that scheduling of surgery is often so fluid and last-minute that there is not enough time to inform patients in advance that they will be treated by out-of-network specialists.

Several states, including Maryland, California, Colorado and most recently New York, have passed laws restricting balance billing by non-network providers for genuinely emergency services. In most cases, those laws leave it up to the hospitals and the patients insurers to negotiate the payment. A similar restriction is contained Obamacare, although initially it only applies to newly established health plans.
