US President Barack Obama tried to steady panicking supporters, insisting he would win re-election despite a "bad night" in a first debate in which he had been "too polite" to Mitt Romney.
"I got this," Obama said in a radio interview and predicted that Democratic "hand wringing" over his limp performance, which precipitated a polling slump, would be a mere memory after his next clash with Romney on Tuesday.
Obama's campaign team meanwhile launched a new assault on the resurgent Republican nominee, 26 days before the election, accusing him of hiding "extreme" stances to win support in the vital political center ground.
Democrats were mystified by Obama's peevish and lethargic effort in Denver last week, and watched Romney's subsequent surge into the lead in national polls and comeback in several battleground states with alarm.
In his most expansive review yet of the debate nightmare, Obama insisted to ABC News that his off night would not cost him re-election.
"Governor Romney had a good night. I had a bad night. It's not the first time I've had a bad night," Obama said.
"What's important is the fundamentals of what this race is about haven't changed," Obama said.
Obama said in another interview with radio host Tom Joyner that he had been "too polite" to Romney, after his foe kept mouthing untruths.
He also rebuked supporters who had begun to see his re-election bid as a "cakewalk," saying the race was always going to be close, and his prior lead was a result of Romney's repeated mistakes.
"By next week I think a lot of the hand wringing will be complete because we are going to go ahead and win this thing," the president said.
"There is no doubt I can make a better case," Obama said, looking forward to next week's second debate on Tuesday.
With Obama back at the White House, Romney had the campaign trail to himself and squeezed in three events in Ohio, again shaping up as the epicenter of the White House race.
The state has lost thousands of blue collar jobs abroad, so Romney was on fertile political ground as he warned China's economy was gaining fast on America, but promised US manufacturers can compete if fair trade is restored.
The former corporate buyout specialist accused Obama of "laxity" on enforcing free trade rules and warned he would not allow China to keep taking US jobs.
Obama's campaign accused Romney of peddling "head-spinning falsehoods" and suggested he had swelled his fortune by investing in Chinese firms guilty of pirating US intellectual copyright.
Democrats also tried to snare Romney in a culture war minefield, after he told the Des Moines Register newspaper in Iowa that he would not introduce any legislation as president restricting the right to abortion.
Since Romney has said he would appoint Supreme Court judges who opposed the procedure and would prevent US aid funds being used to help overseas agencies that provide abortion services, Obama's team scented a cover-up.
"We know that the real Mitt Romney will say anything to win… he is cynically hiding his positions," said Obama's deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter.
Romney later suggested his statements were not contradictory because he would use the presidency's executive powers, not write a bill, to halt government funds for foreign organizations that promote abortion.
"I'm a pro-life candidate. I'll be a pro-life president," he said.
The Obama camp sees the abortion comments as a way to dent Romney's standing among women voters. Several polls show he improved among the crucial demographic after last week's first of a trio of debates with Obama.
Obama also weighed in, saying Romney was typical of a kind of politician who believed they had the right to control women's health choices.
Presidential candidates frequently tack to the political center ground to appeal to moderate voters once they have solidified support in their own party base after winning their nominating contests.
But for Romney, who struggled to cement support among conservatives earlier this year, the process has come late, and was not truly under way until his performance in the debate in Denver.
He has also tried to moderate his positions on issues including taxation for the rich, immigration and health care as well as on abortion.
Attention is turning to Vice President Joe Biden's attempt to turn the tide for his boss in his debate clash on Thursday night in Kentucky with Republican vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Obama predicted Biden would be "terrific" and Romney said Ryan would "do great."
New polling Tuesday showed an unsettled race.
Some national polls — like Gallup's daily tracking survey which had Romney and Obama tied at 48 percent — suggested Romney's debate bounce was subsiding.
A Fox News poll had Romney up a single point. Obama had led the same poll by five points before the debate.
There was also movement towards Romney in state surveys that had the race in battlegrounds like Nevada, Florida, Nevada and Ohio within a few points.
Obama opens up on his 'bad' debate

Spontaneous order & law
Adam Smith famously observed that "it is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Smith explained how self-interested behavior by each person in a private-property-rights environment combines with the self-interested actions of others to bring about a peaceful, productive and complex economy that no one designed. This economy is the result of what Smith called "the invisible hand."
Can decentralized, self-interested actions also produce law• The answer is "yes."
This holiday season as you drive around in shopping-mall parking lots looking for a place to park, notice what happens if you spot a car pulling out of a parking space. If no other driver sees that space, you pull up close to it, leaving the exiting driver enough room to pull out and drive away. You probably also turn on your car's turn signal. Your actions inform other drivers who might come by that you claim the parking space.
And when other drivers do come by -- drivers just as desperate for a parking space as you are -- and they see your car idling just behind the soon-to-be-cleared space, they drive on by. Each one of these drivers is disappointed to have missed the opportunity to park in that space, but none of them tries to dash into it ahead of you.
What exists here is a system of property rights. Without anyone inscribing rules into a statute book, and even without anyone intending to create such property rights, everyday human interactions in parking lots have established the practice that the first who notices a parking space about to be cleared can claim that space as his own by idling his car close by the space. The first driver to see any such space and to idle his car beside it expects that his claim on that space will be honored -- and this expectation typically is valid.
Our simple, familiar actions in crowded parking lots are an example of spontaneous law. Such laws emerge unplanned, yet because they are widely obeyed they help to minimize frictions among us.
Some people will object to applying a label as lofty as "law" to something so workaday as being polite in parking lots. But this label is appropriate. Fair and just laws are those that give each of us great room to pursue our own goals while at the same time they keep us as much as possible from interfering with each other.
Some such laws are especially important -- such as laws against murder and rape -- and these very important laws obviously warrant more resources and effort put into their enforcement. Nevertheless, because following the established practice of claiming a parking space also helps to keep us out of each other's hair, this established practice is law.
Some will object that "law" is only that which is consciously designed and formally promulgated, such as statutes. But a moment's reflection shows this claim to be untrue.
Many rules written down by government officials are not really the law. Be honest: Have you ever intentionally driven 60 mph when the speed limit was 55 mph• If so, you knowingly violated the clear-as-crystal posted "law" that prohibits driving faster than 55 mph.
In fact, though, the real law is different. The real law says that you can drive 5 or 10 mph above the posted speed limit if traffic and road conditions permit. This real law isn't written down anywhere but it's the one that most drivers (and highway patrol officers) know and follow.
Likewise, in some states consensual sex among unmarried adults remains on the statute books as a criminal offense. But do adult unmarried couples who sleep with each other in these states really break the law• Would any jury convict as criminals any such couple charged with having consensual sex out of wedlock?
More interestingly, starting about 1,000 years ago when trade in the Mediterranean began to escalate, the practices of merchants spread throughout dozens of countries and city-states and grew in to commercial law. These merchants were not beholden to a single sovereign power. So if, say, a merchant in Venice had a commercial dispute with a merchant in Tunisia, no single government was available to settle the dispute and to enforce the judgment.
No matter: These merchants formed their own courts. The common practices of merchants became "merchant law." The decisions of these courts were obeyed because no merchant wanted a reputation for being uncooperative with the merchant courts. And the law that was spelled out in these courts over the years was eventually recorded. Today it forms the core of the Uniform Commercial Code used in the United States.

It didn't take long for unofficial Game Boy Advance (GBA) and Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games to surface on the iPhone, but a more ambitious emulator now lets users play Sony PlayStation titles.
From ZodTTD, the same programmer who created the gpSPhone GBA emulator for the iPhone and iPod touch, comes the psx4iphone emulator. The coder claims it can play up to 75% of existing titles with sound.
For the uninitiated, an emulator is any program that allows hardware, such as a PC or smartphone, to run software written for a different machine, altogether. Emulators are legal to download and use, but downloading and playing the games – also known as "ROM" files – is what causes the copyright violations.

Another one bites the NCAA infractions dust
And then there were 73.
For the past two weeks, CBSSports.com has been reporting on various elements involved with cheating in college football.
During the series, we had referenced that there had been 72 major violations at 56 schools since SMU received the Death Penalty in 1987.
Well, it's now up to 73 major infractions and 57 schools after West Virginia's July 8 violations, stemming from failure to monitor charges against former coaches Rich Rodriguez and Bill Stewart, are now included in the database of NCAA infractions.
West Virginia had been one of 23 automatic qualifying BCS conference teams that had not committed a major violation since 1987, so now that number is reduced to 22. That also means 45 of the 67 AQ BCS schools - 67.1 percent of the schools from the six power conferences.
The final and fifth installment of our series is Friday, so it's doubtful the NCAA would rule on any major infractions before then. But, then again, you never know.
Here's the updated list of the 22 AQ football programs without a major infraction since 1987:
ACC–Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest.
Big East–UConn, Louisville, South Florida.
Big Ten–Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue.
Big 12–Iowa State, Missouri.
Pac-12–Arizona, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA.
SEC–LSU, Vanderbilt.

Who survives among the not so Fab 5?
CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd unveiled his annual Hot Seat Ratings for all 120 FBS coaches today. Here's a look at his complete ratings, with coaches rated from 0 (untouchable) to 5 (scorching).
We have good news for 115 coaches: you received lower than a 4-rating on Dodd's hot scale and while that's not a guarantee you'll be coaching next fall, your odds are a lot better than the remaining five.
Those other five coaches – Washington State's Paul Wulff, New Mexico's Mike Locksley, UCLA's Rick Neuheisel, Tulane's Bob Toledo and Illinois' Ron Zook – might want to turn up their AC units. They received between a 4 or 5 rating: 4-4.5 is "Warm seat – feeling the pressure" and 5 is "On the hot seat – it's time to win now."
Looking back at Dodd's Hot Seat Ratings for the past three seasons, he has given 19 coaches between a 4 and 5 rating. Of those coaches, 13 of 19 – or 68.4 percent – were fired before the next season.
Dodd also has only handed out the dreaded 5 rating to five coaches and four of the five were fired that season – Louisville's Steve Kragthorpe (2009), North Texas' Todd Dodge (2010), Colorado's Dan Hawkins (2010) and Michigan's Rich Rodriguez (2010).
Only Wulff, who received a 5 rating in 2010, survived. But now Dodd has stuck Wulff with another 5 this season.
Based on Dodd's ratings the past three seasons, at least three, maybe four, coaches among Wulff, Locksley, Neuheisel, Toledo and Zook will not be back in 2012.
Which coach of the not so Fab 5 will survive and who did Dodd totally miss the boat on and not give a 4 or 5 rating that deserved one?2011 Hot Seat Rating

Blackcurrant Backpackers is an amazing place to stay. I was given the most amazing welcome out of all the hostels I stayed in during my two months moving around NZ. Everyone is very friendly and they geniunely want to make your stay more pleasurable for you. I had a booked for a dorm bed in a 6 bed dorm I think but was given a double bed within a dorm which I think was a 5 bed dorm. The facilties were all quite new, clean and well looked after.
The hostel had a really friendly feel to it and the staff would introduce you to other guests quite often.......also due to the friendly welcome everyone is given I found that made the backpackers more open to chatting to others.....I met loads of people here and stayed for over a week, split by about a month.
This hostel got 'top pick' for in the 2010 Lonely Planet and I can truly see why, it was fab.

5th January
I really can't believe i've only got a few days left in beautiful New Zealand. I only wish I could stay a little longer but I think however long I stayed it would never be long enough. So anyway, Jenni and I woke and had breakfast then Jenni booked her skydive very apprehensively and they came to collect her half hour later! Luckily …
Today has been strange - not unpleasant but a bit weird. Despite the day being generally fine, and even hot this afternoon, there has been a watery theme. I got caught in a torrential thunderstorm this morning so now even the van is decked out with wet damp clothes.
I started off the day at the Craters of the Moon. I still haven't got b...

Matisse Hair
At Matisse Hair, giving a client a haircut is more than just a job; it's an art. Along these lines, the salon doesn't have stylists, it has artists. Instead of products, they use art tools, which are not to be confused with wrenches covered in wet paint. Matisse draws its energy and inspiration from the early Italian and French concepts of a salon. Hairstyling and makeup were equal to an artisan's craft, and today, Matisse carries on that tradition. In addition to styling locks, the staff also offers a full lineup of other spa services, including nail treatments and Environ-aided facials. The staff renders these carefully creative services at two locations—one in Toronto and one in Coconut Grove.

Pretty in Pink: Floral Beet Salad
I think I fixed that. You can, of course, swap out microgreens, mache, or tender lettuces if your little diners are not excited about peppery spring arugula. For the big people, I'd advise keeping the peppery greens. The edible flowers are just fun and you can call it "Forest Princess Salad" or something that might get your little girl to give it a whirl.
For the greens:
2 cups arugula, or lettuces as above
4 sprigs mint leaves
12 or so edible flowers (really be sure these are edible, a lot of our favorite garden flowers are toxic)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 Tbs. olive oil for drizzle
For the dressing:
Juice of 1/2 lemon plus zest
1/2 cup organic canola mayo
1 Tbs. white balsamic vinegar
1 small clove garlic
1/4 cup mint leaves chopped
1 tsp. honey or agave, optional
Beets: 4 large or 8 small-to-medium beets, roasted and peeled
Coarse salt to taste
Mix the dressing and chill to marry the flavors. Toss with roasted and peeled beets (see below) and place 1-2 beets on each of four plates, salt to taste. Toss the greens with the lemon and olive oil, reserving the edible flowers for last. Top the beet mixture with the 1/4 of the greens for each plate. Garnish with flowers. Eat while visualizing yourself astride a unicorn prancing through a field of wild flowers. Or while drinking a nice, crisp white wine (big people only).
To roast beet, remove stems and greens, reserving for another use. Wash well. Place in foil. Heat oven to 375. Roast for about 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced. You may want to roast a few beets at a time in the foil packet, for use in other recipes. Remove from oven. When cooled, use a paper towel and "wipe" the peel off the beet.

Pretty in pink: Lemon-mint Beet Hummus
By far, my favorite hummus yet is the Sweet Potato Hummus from last fall's chef demo at Powell Gardens. But it's spring, and beets are in season. The deep pink color of this hummus is stunning on a plate with edible flowers, green herbs, and lettuces, or with spring carrots or fennel.
Roasted Beet Hummus
1 medium roasted beet, peeled (roasting instructions below)
1/2 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup tahini paste
Juice of 1 lemon plus zest
1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbs. packed mint leaves
1 small clove garlic
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more if needed
Salt and pepper to taste, start with 1/2 tsp. salt
To roast beet, remove stems and greens, reserving for another use. Wash well. Place in foil. Heat oven to 375. Roast for about 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced. You may want to roast a few beets at a time in the foil packet, for use in other recipes. Remove from oven. When cooled, use a paper towel and "wipe" the peel off the beet.
To make hummus, add all ingredients except olive oil to food processor. Pulse to combine. While the blade is running, drizzle in the olive oil, using a bit more if needed to get the texture you like. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. Chill well to let favors marry. Great with a bit if feta cheese on top for serving.

The ultimate de-stresser in East Sussex countryside
the grandeur of Ashdown Park, the beautiful grounds and attentive service that make this a very special place to stay.
Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club, East Sussex,
breaks the mould of the traditional, grand country hotel. Yes, it
has all the hallmarks of a stately, plush, sprawling estate but
it's also somehow intimate, comfortable and unpretentious. It's a
clever balancing act pleasing those seeking classic British
hospitality and others hankering for up-to-the-minute spa and
wellness facilities. The setting alone of everlasting green
countryside (where deer roam freely) is enough to place a content
smile on anyone's face. In fact, regaining perspective and finding
inner calm comes easy here, with woodland walks (or jogging trails
if you're feeling athletic) in the surrounding Ashdown Forest whose
meditative powers are undeniable. Whether visiting with
family or getting away with a loved one, Ashdown's eight room
categories suit every occasion; each one an immaculate chic
retreat. Head to the Country Club for some adrenaline-pumping
action where the gym, tennis courts and aerobics studio reside
alongside The Spa, which helps takes the edge off. Treatments have
been specifically created for men and women. Complimentary
amenities include a heated indoor pool, steam room, sauna and 18
hole par 3 golf course. Perfect days end with dinners at the
Anderida Restaurant where a resident pianist and wonderful views
set the scene.
Condé Nast Johansens Value for Money Award 2013; Condé Nast Johansens Wine List Award 2013 - Best Selection of Champagne (in Association with Champagne Taittinger)
Winnie the Pooh fans know Ashdown Forest as Hundred
Acre Wood: Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear's home and playground
(poohsticks anyone?). History buffs know the Forest for its
archeaological importance and life as a medieval hunting forest
enjoyed by Henry VIII. But for today's pleasure seeker, savvy party
planner and switched-on PA, this is the setting for the neo-Gothic
Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club. All at once aristocratically
grand yet make-yourself-at-home comfortable, "ta-dah" impressive
yet somehow familiar and very welcoming, the hotel and country club
are hubs of leisure and business activity. Of course the guest
rooms and suites are top notch; families (feel free to bring the
dog too) should book a roomy Fairway Suite with patio. And it goes
without saying but let's highlight it anyway, that the food on
offer is sublime, whether it's served at The Anderida Restaurant
whose Head Chef will settle for nothing less than superior
ingredients, or at the Country Club's Fairways Lounge with
lip-smackingly good bistro menu. Without doubt, the hotel's star
player is the converted chapel, aka the Richard Towneley Suite,
majestically lit with natural light beaming through stained-glass
windows. Not just an obscenely beautiful setting for weddings but a
stately backdrop for all-important conferences.
Ashdown Park's beautifully rural setting makes it a magical place to enjoy all the wonders of Christmas.

House Bill Aims to Halt Trade with Syria, Sudan: McCollum, Schumer Cite Terrorist Ties
Carter, Tom, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Two congressmen yesterday introduced a bipartisan bill designed to shut down trade with Sudan and Syria, blocking Clinton administration efforts to bypass anti-terrorist legislation passed last year.
"The only way we are going to eliminate the governmental support terrorist organizations desperately need is to take a firm stance against economic relationships with these countries," Rep. Bill McCollum, Florida Republican, said at a news conference.
The bill, the Prohibition on Financial Transactions With Countries Supporting Terrorism Act of 1997, is co-sponsored by Rep. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.
In April, around the first anniversary of the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, a massive anti-terrorism bill was hurried into law.
Administration officials later decided that language in the law might prohibit too broad a variety of business transactions. The Treasury Department issued regulations in August that allowed continuing trade with Syria and Sudan.
The State Department classifies seven nations - Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Sudan - as sponsors of terrorism. The new bill would mainly affect Syria, because the United States does little trade with Sudan, which is desperately poor, and has economic embargoes on the other five nations.
Mr. McCollum said the bill would strip "the executive branch of the authority to issue regulations exempting transactions from the prohibition. …

Wainwright teens prepare for deployment, build Strong Bonds
February 25, 2011
By Sheryl Nix, Fort Wainwright PAO
Story Highlights
- Strong Bonds
- teens
FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - Wainwright teens recently took advantage of a unique opportunity to prepare for their parents' upcoming deployment and have some fun in conjunction with a Strong Bonds retreat just for them.
While Strong Bonds, a unit-based, chaplain-led program designed to assist commanders in building resiliency in Soldiers and families, is not a new concept for Soldiers and families in the Army and at Fort Wainwright, a retreat just for teens is completely new, said Robert Auker, Religious Education director. "Most family Strong Bonds events have a child component and then teens help out but there is often no real focus on them. They are often an overlooked demographic so that's why this retreat was so unique," he explained. "This one was to my knowledge the first one that was from beginning to end all about the teens and all about predeployment."
Three adult leaders and 18 teens ranging in age from 13 to 18 attended the one-day retreat at Camp Living Water outside of Fairbanks Feb. 18.
The group played games, sledded and went horseback riding during the retreat but also tackled some of the important issues deployments bring up by working through curriculum including the "Five Love Languages of Teens" and "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Army Families."
They also put together family collages and then led their families through their experiences at the retreat during an end-of-event family dinner.
"It was a really wonderful dinner," Auker said. "We recapped what was talked about and it provided an opportunity for kids to communicate with their families what they learned."
The main issues teens focused on during the event were identifying their support systems, the emotional swings brought on by deployments, finding hope and encouragement, being proactive and adjusting to role changes during deployments.
Auker said the event was a huge success and he hopes to do another one again in the future. "I was very pleased and very encouraged especially from the feedback we received from the teens," he said.
The retreat targeted children of Soldiers from 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division and was funded through the unit's Strong Bonds funds. Soldiers from 1-25th SBCT will deploy to Afghanistan later this spring.

Cubs fan here. Been one my whole life.

I've been seeing that, more or less, for 35 years or so.
Yeah, hopefully the Ricketts' are serious about winning, but they
have to consider it a business too.
Hiring Epstein & Hoyer were huge moves, obviously.
It is seriously going to take time though. The minors were practically empty of good talent for a long time.

2004 Hyundai Elantra • 160,000 miles
The car stopped dead while driving down the road, the speedometer is stuck at 40 mph, the power/electronics are dead, it will not turn over when starting, no clicks, nothing! I have checked the fuse box and see no blown fuses. If my timing belt broke wouldn't I still have power from the battery? I don't think it is the battery because I have had no problems starting it till this occured. I suspected the timing belt broke since I have 160K miles on it and it is the original, but the dead electonics makes me wonder of it is something else.

Yes that is a high probability I had the same problem with my hyundai, but I would have the battery checked as result of the alternator going out your battery might not start your car. Go to your local auto part store and have them check it. Good luck

Wedding Cake
- Uploaded By rhopar33

This was a last minute cake for a desperate bride and groom -to-be. They were told by their oringinal cake person that it would cost and additional $250 to "build a base" so that the cake would support the double heart picks and the monograms on top. Can you belive that? It was a simple pick that went down into the cake!!! Anyway, 2 tier heart shaped and the bride supplied all florals. Still can't figure out why she requested an ivory cake when her color scheme is clearly red and white! Oh, well.

Invitrogen Adds Land to Site
Byline: Sherri Buri McDonald The Register-Guard
Biosciences company Invitrogen bought almost 5 additional acres near its campus in west Eugene on Thursday, according to Lane County property records.
The $1.15 million purchase comes at a time when Invitrogen is looking at expanding its Eugene site, which has 300 employees.
"Invitrogen is considering expansion plans, but at this time it cannot provide details," said Revelle Bailey, a spokeswoman at Invitrogen's headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif.
The glimmer of further growth at Invitrogen comes at a good time for the Eugene-Springfield area, which has suffered from a string of recent layoffs.
Hynix has laid off 911 workers so far at its semiconductor wafer plant in west Eugene, just south of Invitrogen's campus, spokesman Bobby Lee said on Friday. He said 70 local Hynix employees and 30 Korean nationals continue to work at the plant.
Hynix has ceased production in Eugene, citing poor market conditions, and its plans to manufacture only larger wafers at its plants in Asia. Hynix is looking at other uses for, or the possible sale of, its facility here.
Mayor Kitty Piercy said Friday that if Invitrogen's land purchase indicates that Invitrogen is looking to expand, "that's great news for our local economy in these tough times, and shows that our local economy continues to move forward."
Invitrogen develops, manufactures and sells research tools to customers engaged in life sciences research, drug discovery, diagnostics, and the commercial manufacture of biological products.
Invitrogen established a presence in Eugene five years ago when it bought Molecular Probes, the world's leading supplier of organic dyes used as fluorescent probes to track cell functions and activities of genes and proteins.

Ally Bank CD Rates
Ally Bank is offering a 12 month CD rate of 2.76 percent with an annual percentage yield of 2.80 percent. Never heard of Ally Bank? It is the new name of GMAC Bank, they changed their name. The motto is "We're changing more than our name. We're changing banking". Changing banking? That remains to be seen.
Their certificate of deposit rates are the same, competitive but nothing to write home about. On the short end of CD terms, Ally Bank's 3 month CD rate is currently 1.73 percent, with a yield of 1.75 percent. The national average rate for a 3 month CD is currently 0.85 percent.
A 6 month CD rate is 2.13 percent, with an APY of 2.15 percent. Ally Bank's longer term CD rates are some of the best CD rates available today. 5-year CD rates are currently 3.44 percent with an APY of 3.50 percent. 4-year CD rates are 3.20 percent with an APY of 3.25 percent.
If you already have an online account with GMAC bank your user name and password is the same for Ally bank.
Update: Since we first posted this article on Ally Bank's rates their rates have been lowered. In fact all banks have lowered their CD rates thanks to the recession and slow growth for the past 3 years.
Just when we thought we were headed for strong economic growth once again growth is slowing down and we might fall back into a recession. If that happens I'm sure Ally Bank and all banks would lower bank CD rates again.
That being said you should probably lock into a higher CD rate right now, that way if rates do fall you're money is earning a higher rate then you can get if rates fall.
Alert: Rate Change 6/6/12 - Ally Bank's 12 month CD rates were just slightly lowered from a rate of 1.03 percent and an APY of 1.04 percent to the new rate of 1.02 percent and an APY of 1.03 percent.

Vringo, Inc. : VRINGO PROVIDES UPDATE ON I/P ENGINE VS. AOL, GOOGLE ET AL. LITIGATION Court Orders Defendants to Respond to I/P Engine's Motion for Ongoing Royalties Within Ten Days NEW YORK - May 1, 2013 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of mobile technologies and intellectual property, today provided an update on its wholly-owned subsidiary I/P Engine, Inc.'s litigation against AOL, Inc., Google, Inc., IAC Search & Media, Inc., Gannett Company, Inc., and Target Corporation (collectively, "Defendants"). This summary is qualified in its entirety by the Court's rulings. Earlier today, the U.S. District Court denied Defendants' Motion to Compel the Deposition of Dr. Stephen Becker and for an Enlargement of Time to Oppose Plaintiff's Motion for Post-Judgment Royalties. The Court found no basis to permit further discovery on I/P Engine's Motion for an Award of Most-Judgment Royalties, and ordered Defendants to respond to the motion within ten days. The Court also permitted I/P Engine to file a reply to Defendants' response within five days of the entry of Defendants' response. Background On November 6, 2012, a jury in U.S. District Court in Norfolk, Virginia ruled in favor of I/P Engine and against Defendants with respect to Defendants' infringement of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,314,420 and 6,775,664. After upholding the validity of the patents-in-suit, and determining that the asserted claims of the asserted patents were infringed by Defendants, the jury found that reasonable royalty damages should be based on a "running royalty," and that the running royalty rate should be 3.5%. The jury also awarded I/P Engine a total of approximately $30.5 million. On November 20, 2012, the clerk entered the Court's final judgment. I/P Engine's Motion for an Award of Post-Judgment Royalties I/P Engine presented evidence at trial that the appropriate way to determine the incremental royalty base attributable to Google's infringement was to calculate 20.9% of Google's U.S. AdWords revenue, then apply a 3.5% running royalty rate to that base. I/P Engine has requested that the Court order Defendants to pay ongoing running royalties for their continuing infringement of I/P Engine's patents from November 20, 2012, the date of the entry of final judgment, until either (i) Defendants cease their infringement or (ii) April 4, 2016, the expiration date of the patents. I/P Engine has argued that the Court should conclude that an upward adjustment to a 5% running royalty rate for Defendants' ongoing post-judgment infringement is appropriate. I/P Engine's damages expert, Dr. Stephen Becker, also reached the conclusion that there is no reason to depart downward from the 5% royalty rate because the patents are known to be valid and the patented technology is acknowledged to be "mission critical" for Google. Further, I/P Engine argued that Defendants' ongoing infringement is undisputedly willful because Defendants are fully aware that their use of AdWords has been adjudged to infringe all of the asserted claims of the valid and enforceable patents-in-suit. Therefore, I/P Engine requested that the Court enhance the ongoing royalty rate to 7% in light of Defendants' ongoing willful infringement. Finally, I/P Engine requested that the Court order that, among other things, Defendants pay ongoing royalties to I/P Engine on a quarterly basis in certified funds or by wire transfer, accompanied by a statement certifying, under penalty of perjury, the U.S. revenue attributable to Defendants' use of AdWords and the calculation of the royalty amount. A copy of I/P Engine's motion is available online at http://bit.ly/UPYkFh. Additional Information The case is styled I/P Engine, Inc. vs. AOL Inc. et al. District Court proceedings are pending in the Eastern District of Virginia, Norfolk Division. The case number is 2:11cv512RAJ. Appellate proceedings are pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The docket numbers are 13-1307 and 13-1311. The court dockets for the foregoing cases are publicly available on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records website, www.pacer.gov, which is operated by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. About Vringo, Inc. Vringo, Inc. is engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of mobile technologies and intellectual property.

Healthy Snacks for Kids
Healthy Snacks for Kids
Busy families sometimes have trouble fitting in three healthy meals each day. Like it or not, snacking has become an important contributor to daily food intake. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey of nearly 10,000 children, twice as many kids today eat snack foods, like crackers, popcorn, pretzels, and corn chips, as kids did just 20 years ago. Soda consumption has increased 37 percent for six- to nine-year-olds during the same time period. While children are eating extra calories, many still fall short on meeting their needs for vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, vitamin B6, zinc, and iron.
What does this all mean? You'll want to take extra care to make certain your child's snacks are every bit as healthful as the meals you serve. The easiest way to do this is to use the same guidelines for snack planning as for meal planning. Many healthy, convenient options can be found within each of the New Four Food Groups—fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes.
Whether eaten on the go or at home after school, healthy snacks for kids are easy and quick to put together and eat, and offer important nutrients and energy in each delicious bite. Keep healthy beverages, such as water, juice, and soymilk, and snack foods, such as the ones listed in the table below, on-hand at home and encourage your children to pack them into their bags before leaving the house.

Critics Take Aim at Yeltsin Proposal for Arms Control Failure of Commonwealth to Agree on Armed Forces Seen as Peril
Daniel Sneider, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
WASHINGTON and Moscow will take up an old topic for discussion when US Secretary of State James Baker III arrives in Moscow Monday - arms control.
The air is filled these days with rhetoric about old enemies becoming allies. Russian President Boris Yeltsin caught the attention of many when he suggested, in his debut speech on arms control delivered Jan. 29, that the US and Russia collaborate in a global system of defense as a replacement for the United States's Star Wars program. He grabbed headlines by announcing that Russian missiles would no longer be aimed at North America.
But critics here say the Yeltsin arms-control policy is a seriously flawed and contradictory combination of old-style Soviet arms- control and untested radical ideas. The entire arms-control process has been put in jeopardy by the continuing inability of the members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the loose confederation that has replaced the Soviet Union, to agree on the future status of the former Soviet armed forces.
Some Russian arms control experts and officials speak confidently about moving quickly to a new relationship. A joint program to develop defenses against missile attacks, intended to deal with the growing danger that countries such as Iraq or Iran could obtain long-range missiles armed with nuclear warheads, will change the way the two countries see each other, says Sergei Blagovolin, head of the independent Institute for National Security and Strategic Studies.
"If we were involved in such a large-scale military project, it will allow us - once and for all - to eliminate the mutual military threat, to reconcile our military doctrines, to form a military division of labor," Mr. Blagovolin says.
The Yeltsin arms control declaration offered a number of unilateral steps and proposals for mutual cuts in nuclear weapons designed to bring the total level of warheads well below the number allowed under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) signed last year with what was then the Soviet Union (but not yet ratified). The Russian proposals followed a speech along similar lines by President Bush in mid-January. Mr. Bush and Mr. Yeltsin met in New York and Washington earlier this month and Secretary Baker's Feb. 17-18 visit in Moscow is intended as a more concrete followup to those talks.
"There is a great deal of room for compromise between the American position and our position," says Andrei Kokoshin, deputy director of the USA-Canada Institute and an arms-control specialist who serves as an advisor to Yeltsin. "We have a chance to move quickly - not through long, boring negotiations as we did with START but through an agreement in principle without all those details, combined with parallel, unilateral steps."
Georgi Arbatov, longtime arms control advisor to Soviet leaders and head of the USA-Canada Institute, has seriously questioned the new Yeltsin policy. According to a summary of his remarks published in Izvestia on Feb. 8, Mr. …
