This plugin grants the appropiate fighter bays that were previously blocked out by EV Nova, such as the Rebel Viper, Interceptor Class. Additional variants include the Auroran Phoenix, Frunch'ek Class, Federation Anaconda, Auroran Outfits Detected, Pirate Viper, Missile Variant and many others; including a forum-requested Rebel Thunderhead Bay. The player is allocated the appropiate fighters for which storyline the player has undertaken. Note that this plugin may conflict with various plugins that modify core principles of the game, such as various cheat plugins. Created with MissionComputer, tested on EVN v.1.0.10 on a Macintosh PPC. Contact information is Mk.32 on the forums or email supplied on the plugin splash screen.

Version 1.1 of Adzara-Lightning fixes the bug that prevented the player from using the Rebel Lightning Bay. As an old EV: Override veteran, I was overjoyed by EV: Nova. But there were some things that I missed about EVO, one of which was the best fighter in the game: the Adzara. It was unique be relying on shield regeneration rate rather than heavy shielding - it was very easy to get it's shields down to almost nothing, but let it out of your weapon's range for a few seconds and you'd be back to square one. This plug-in modifies the Lightning to fill this role - the shields are cut almost in half, but the regeneration rate is more than enough to make up for it, and I also included a Lightning Bay if you work for the Rebels.

After Nova is an abandoned plug-in by JoshTigerheart, dropped because I wasn't morbid enough to keep working on it and also was dumped in favor of the Open Source TC that's currently in the works. This file is far from finished and is not playable. However, some other plug-in developers, especially those wanting to do some sort of degenerated or post-apocalyptic scenario, may find some of the content helpful for ideas. Additionally, if you wish, you may finish the project, see details within the Readme.

This plugin adds one outfit: the Aggressor system, available on Viking. Basically, all it does is make another ship mad at you. This is useful for: -Challenging that big, fat, juicy Manticore that is about to jump out before you can get to it -Luring a nonhostile ship (such as Krane's Valkyrie) away from its slower, heavily armed escorts

Now, for a price, the vell-os can train your mind to enter a wraith body, a hyperoid body, or to create their own protective shells. There are also 3 new planets and 4 altered planets for you to play with. Second plug-in made by Alphakiller.

I think this is the last idea not used for a plug in (maybe not, I'm not sure) but it works! Ever notice you can't board an alien ship and any time you use a plug where you can get one you can't put human technology on it??? Well this plug fixes that problem! You can now board/capture/buy/put human technology on wraiths, krypt pods, and hyperoids! And the two wraith planets are now landable! Thats where you get all this cool stuff(but its not cheap). by zapp, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, for WINDOWS only.

This Plug-in strips away the mission bit requirements for all the Outfits in the game. All the Outfits will appear where they normally would, without the need to do the storylines to activate them. You still need to be on good terms with the governments in order to land on the neccesary planets, and you'll need the usual amount of money. This Plug-in should be compatable with any other Plug-in that doesn't change any of the storyline specific Outfits. Created by Darian_TruBlade

i was so fed up with plugs that said "this one lets you buy all the ships" and you can buy like two more than normal, that i went ahead and made a plugin that lest you buy EVERY SINGLE SHIP! the only thing is is that you have to have a bunch of licenses for the fed ones, so i made a seperate plug called License to Life which lets you buy anything. have fun!!! -X'arnor, firstname.lastname@example.com

This will let you buy any outfit, once you have earned it of course, for as you may have gathered from the name, it lets you play all the strings in Nova with one pilot. Not only does it allow this, but it also lets you choose which storyline you want to do next (it uses the starting conditions of the starterpack plug). This plug was created by Raven, if you have any questions, comments, bugs etc. e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com PS:Make sure to read the read-me!

This plug-in allows you to buy ANY weapon or outfit you want at almost any outfitter, as long as you have the credits. Some of the Federation technology requires a Navy Clearance thing, so it would be a good idea to use this with my License to Life plug-in. Hope you enjoy it, made by X'arnor, feedback is appreciated.

AllGoodBranches 1.0 is a plugin that simply makes sure you always get the favorable branch whenever you don't have direct control over which you get. You'll always get the favorable branch whenever it was intended to be random chance. It does not affect branches that require you to be in a certain place at a certain time (like the Thunderforge branch). Enjoy, and send comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

One of the highlights of the state dinner was a performance by Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist who has been a sensation in music circles. Mr. Lang played a duet with the American jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, then a haunting traditional Chinese melody called My Motherland. In China, it turns out, My Motherland is better known as the theme from the film Battle on Shangganling Mountain, a 1956 Chinese classic about a Korean War battle in which a vastly outnumbered band of Chinese soldiers held off American and United Nations forces for 42 days. If, in retrospect, My Motherland might seem to be a regrettable choice for a state dinner, it clearly was unintentional. Mr. Lang, an American-trained pianist who divides his time between the United States and China, is an artist who melds American and Chinese cultures.

Like hell it was.
It's okay.
We're starting to get used to people who hate America and flipping off patriots while they laugh and smile. :(
Obama probably whistles "The East is Red" in the shower.
The actual title does not include the non-word "boold".
You have to use the actual title of the article as the title of the thread.
May 27, 2008
Communist band opens for Obama
'How many of 75,000 came to hear music?'
A hip rock band that features the Soviet national anthem and communist-inspired lyrics was on stage to open for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama at his record-breaking Portland, Ore., rally that attracted 75,000.
The Decemberists, a Portland-based group with a large local following, also closed the May 18 event.
The Decemberists typically begin their concerts with a Russian-language recording of the USSR's national anthem.
A YouTube video shows the Decemberists beginning an April 31, 2007, concert at Messiah College in Grantham, Pa., with the anthem.
"Decemberists" refers to an uprising at Senate Square in St. Petersburg Dec. 14, 1825, when a group of Russian army officers led about 3,000 soldiers in protest as Nicholas I assumed the throne, after Czar Alexander died without an heir.
The Decemberists have posed for publicity photos in period Russian costumes with the red flag of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 waving behind them.
The Soviet National Anthem / Гимн СССР
English translation (of the 1977 version)
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
In the victory of Communism's immortal ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

14th Century, Chaucer, General Prologue:
"Boold was hir face, and fair, and reed of hewe."
Disgusting if true. We bring in someone to perform a Chicom song that celebrates a Chinese/North Korean battle against our nation?
In the White House?
Well, there's that...
I listened for 2 mil Sec after the screech singing started. Thought my sound card had blown up. Typical COMMIE propaganda film with amateur NO talent COMMIE actors!
I'm sure "Our Dear Leader" listens to "My motherland" every night.
And call that bunch in our whitey house a bunch of monkeys.
Quite ballsy actually.
Comrade Obama reportedly wore a red tie to greet the ChiCom leader. I suppose that too was an "unintentional" signal. But wait...didn't he just recently say 'we' welcome the rise of China?
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
The Chinese weren't outnumbered. It was 50,000 Chinese troops vs about 20,000 UN troops.
This is a typical Ogabe blunder that, had it happened under Bush, would have caused the media to rain insults on Bush's head.
Hey, screwball. Take your pitiful commie existence and go scratch. We're free. you're not. You have no idea what you're trying to do to yourself. That's how pitiful and stupid you are.
What a fool you are. Can't even spell "blood" yet you try to disrupt us here. You made my day for laughs. ZOT!!!!!
Yes, all that Chinese blood was spilled to turn a potentially functional nation into the world's largest prison camp ruled by an insane power-mad family. But they're communists (in name), so I'm sure that's a comfort to the left.
Pure insanity.
However, the song was clearly intentional because the only value North Korea has is as a thorn in our side, and this was an instance of just that.
So what's going to happen? Well, the Chinese economy is far more on the ropes than most people realize. When the bubbles burst, they'll revert to economy through conquest. Japan? Taiwan? Nope - too much risk of a real war with us (if not now, then after obastard loses in 2012). North Korea who has become a thorn in China's side? Yup - and we'll all cheer. Bonus for China: that will solidify their place on the world stage as a superpower.
It's almost inevitable.
I wonder if he still has a Mig-25 Fixation
Barky loved it.
Facts vs LSM and Chicom (but I repeat myself) propaganda...
If the PLA had a less than 10 to 1 advantage, they were outnumbered.
Welcome to Free Republic. We are expected to accurately post article titles here. That helps when searching for previously posted articles.
The principal battles of the stalemate include the Battle of Bloody Ridge (18 August 15 September 1951),[39]:160 the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge (13 September 15 October 1951),[39]:1612 the Battle of Old Baldy (26 June 4 August 1952), the Battle of White Horse (615 October 1952), the Battle of Triangle Hill (14 October 25 November 1952), the Battle of Hill Eerie (21 March 21 June 1952), the sieges of Outpost Harry (108 June 1953), the Battle of the Hook (289 May 1953) and the Battle of Pork Chop Hill (23 March 16 July 1953).
I'm not surprised. It's pretty hard to outnumber the Chinese.
ChiComs can do what they want. The rest of us have to follow the rules.
India is working on that as we speak:).
So you're a commie agent? And you post this drivel on this website?
I think I beat the executioner to the show for once. Zot away!
Best post of the thread...
They were probably confused about Pork Chop Hill and thought they were outnumbered and held us off when it was the other way around.
You can see where they would believe the US would have more pork chops than they did.
North Korea who has become a thorn in Chinas side?
Very interesting analysis. It makes a great deal of sense.
The only problem that I see is: What material advantage does China gain by annexing an extremely poor country of starving people? Sure, they get a little ego boost...
"The only problem that I see is: What material advantage does China gain by annexing an extremely poor country of starving people? Sure, they get a little ego boost..."
North Korea actually has significant mineral wealth in the ground. The Norks haven't developed that because they are a truly failed state. A war would also let the Chinese ruling class burn off an overabundance of male population who could become a problem for them. It would also raise their standing on the world stage by handling a problem the US hasn't been able to. Granted, we haven't because of China, but that just raises their regional and global stature more.
BTW, if China thinks long term (and they do), they'll have us fly air cover. And we will. While that will gain us global stature - or rather preserve it - it would make us appear to be a client state regionally. And China is most concerned about regional dominance...
A country should honor it's warriors. Some countries forget to at times.
Yup. How pathetic is it that the ChiComs are better about that than our "government"?
We're becoming a failed state. If we don't turn things around in 2012, we'll be one...
Sorry, first time post here, and will learn more.

Galgani JE, Uauy RD, Aguirre CA, Díaz EO. Effect of the dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity. Br J Nutr. 2008 ;100(3):471-9.
PubMed ID: 18394213
This review aims to analyse human studies that address the effect of dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity.
Fatty acid quality as unique independent variable.
Dietary compliance at least fairly controlled.
Well-powered studies (at least sixteen subjects in each group or intervention period), with a crossover design and inclusion of washout period; providing evidence of good or excellent dietary compliance, body weight stability and control for menstrual cycle as appropriate.
Glucose disposal rate corrected for hepatic glucose production was considered as additional strength in studies in type 2 diabetic subjects.
Insulin sensitivity assessed using reference methods.
Unreliable measures of insulin sensitivity.
Sample size less than 16 subjects
Studies that did not monitor achievement of target fat intake.
A literature search in PubMed for randomized clinical trials in human subjects published until 31 August 2007 was conducted. These articles were identified with the following key words: fatty acid type and insulin. Other articles not identified after this first search were found using the Related Articles option available in Medline. Bibliographies of primary references were used to identify additional relevant studies.
Design: Systematic review. The review analyzed human studies where the effects of dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity . Special attention was given to the methodological aspects of each study.
Blinding used (if applicable): not applicable
Intervention (if applicable): not applicable
Statistical Analysis: Strength and weakness analysis in supplementary material.
Timing of Measurements
A literature search until Aug 31 2007 was conducted on the effect of fatty acids on insulin sensitivity.
Dependent Variables
- Insulin sensitivity
Independent Variables
- Fatty acids and dietary fat quality
Control Variables
Initial N: 41 studies
Attrition (final N): 9 trials in nondiabetic subjects (N = 358); 6 trials in subjects with type 2 diabetes (N = 93)
Age: Not reported
Ethnicity: Not reported
Other relevant demographics: Not reported
Anthropometrics Not reported
Location: International studies
Key Findings
From the total number of identified studies (n = 41), fifteen matched the proposed quality criteria.
Three out of the fifteen studies reported a differential effect on IS, showing decreased insulin sensitivity after SFA v. MUFA or PUFA diets; whereas increased insulin resistance after fish oil supplementation was observed in type 2 diabetic individuals.
Most studies (twelve of fifteen) found no effect relating to fat quality on insulin sensitivity. However, multiple study design flaws limit the validity of this conclusion. In contrast, one of the better designed studies found that consumption of a high-saturated-fat diet decreased insulin sensitivity in comparison to a high-monounsaturated- fat diet.
Vessby et al. study reported a significant decrease in insulin sensitivity of 10% after consuming a SFA-enriched diet for 12 weeks, whereas no change in insulin sensitivity was observed with the MUFA-enriched diet.
Fish oil v. olive oil supplementation were additionally compared in this study; however, no differential effect on insulin sensitivity was found.
Increased TLR-4-mediated cytokine generation was observed after SFA (palmitic acid), but not n-3 PUFA supplementation.
Significant differences in insulin sensitivity between SFA and MUFA diets were found; however fish oil supplementation did not modify insulin sensitivity.
The combination of increased muscle TAG and palmitate content were the main determinants of impaired insulin sensitivity. These studies suggest that dietary fat quality may be a relevant factor in pathogenesis of insulin resistance (impaired insulin sensitivity) and type 2 diabetes.
Results from controlled and intervention studies permit a more specific assessment of the effect of fatty acid quality on insulin sensitivity
The potential protective effect of n-3 PUFA on IS in human subjects might require higher fish-oil doses associated withlower n-6 PUFA content. Studies in a healthy and diabetic population using diets with low absolute amounts of n-6 PUFA should be preferred in order to adequately test thepotential effect of fish oil on IS.
Fat sources such as linseedoil, which are rich in a-linolenic acid (.55% of total FA) can be used to reduce amount of n-6 FA with the aim to achieve a dietary n-6 : n-3 PUFA ratio lower than 4:1 but as close to 1:1 as possible.
The fatty acids should no longer be considered solely as a source of energy but should rather be acknowledged as potent regulators of intermediary metabolism, and possible contributors to the regulation of glucose homeostasis in both type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
We conclude that the role of dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity in human subjects should be further studied, using experimental designs that address the limitations of existing data sets.
More information is required with regard to the population, demographic details and the relative risk of diabetes in relation to the fatty acids.

Here is the first look of the biopic on the Olympic winner
The makers of Priyanka Chopra's Mary Kom biopic have released the first look of the film. The film is based on the life of Olympic medalist Mary Kom. It will be another addition to the list of Indian biographical sports drama films. If we recall last year Farhan Akhtar's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag did exceedingly well at not just the box office but also with the critics.
Priyanka tweeted, "Heart. Blood. Sweat. Soul. I've given it my all. Over to you guys now! #MaryKomFirstLook #FightLikeAGirl ..here goes." Priyanka Chopra's Mary Kom, directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is a simple story on what it took Mary Kom to battle all the hardships of life and still emerge victorious on the international platform. The story and screenplay is written by Saiwyn Quadras. Apart from Priyanka, the film also stars Shishir Sharma and Zachary Coffin.
So go ahead BollywoodLifers, have a look at the first look and let us know if you like PC as Mary Kom or not.

When it comes to 2013 business ratings, including an assessment of sales and profitability, the highs were not very high and the lows were not particularly low.
Instead, most of the year-to-year movement took place within the mid-range results, according to respondents to the 2013-14 Aggregates Manager Forecast Survey.
For example, more than double the percentage of operators (21.9 percent) characterized 2013 business conditions as very good, compared to the prior year (10.9 percent).
From a regional perspective, operators in the North Central states were the most likely to report excellent business conditions (7.1 percent), followed by the Northeast (5.3 percent), and the South (2.9 percent).
Operators in the West reported the toughest conditions; none reported excellent business ratings, and nearly one in five rated conditions to be poor.
For more information about 2013 results and 2014 business predictions, see the January print edition of Aggregates Manager.

1/29/2008 at 3:23 p.m. Suzie Wong Gives Us a Case of Déjà Vu When we first told you about Suzie Wong, the lounge "nightlife lord" JE Englebert and his partners are opening this Thursday in their old Pre:Post space at 547 West 27th Street, we noted that Lotus once had a café named after the fictitious hooker with a heart of gold. That said, you'd think Lord Englebert would make sure his logo looks nothing like Lotus's! Or are we the only ones who see the resemblance? And are we the only ones who are hesitant to visit a sake lounge that spells it "saki"? Sure, it's technically an acceptable alternative, but we're not surprised it's the preferred spelling of someone whose other club is Myst [sic].

35 hours ago
Jetstar Gold Coast Titan Mat Rogers will close the curtain on his glittering 16-year career at the end of the 2010 season, with the 34-year-old today announcing his retirement from the NRL.
The dual-international will retire from football at the conclusion of this year after making the decision to focus on the next chapter in his life in a role with the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans in Sponsorship Sales from 2011.
The father of four will also continue his other business interests including his work for charity 4ASD Kids - an organisation he and wife Chloe Maxwell set up for families of children with Autism.
Rogers, who made his first grade debut for the Cronulla Sharks in 1995, said he was more than comfortable with his decision to close the curtain on his professional footballing career after 194 NRL games and 85 club and representative fixtures in rugby union.

Last night I finally got around to doing something I'd been putting off for ages...organizing my "jewelry drawer." After weeks of fishing jewelry out of a jumbled pile on my dresser (and completely forgetting about the pieces that were stored away in a jewelry box in the closet), I decided to organize the chaos a bit.
So I emptied a drawer and also purchased a few lucite divided trays from the container store. And one specifically for jewelry with a soft lining.
A couple of minutes later and voila, organization!
I'm hoping that this cures my "out of sight, out of mind" problem I tend to have with jewelry. It will be helpful having everything in one drawer in front of me.
Of course my jumbled ways still aren't 100% cured...there's still this little necklace mess in the closet to sort out. Another day, another project.
Other jewelry drawers that I love- Lauren Santo Domingo.
And Miss Jewelry herself, Rachel Zoe.

- How to Read a Study Record
Contrast induced nephropathy (CN) is a common cause of acute kidney injury and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and healthcare cost. Iodinated contrast media (ICM) induce kidney injury through vasoconstriction and ischemia as well as direct tubular toxicity. Older subjects, individuals with preexisting kidney disease, diabetes, hypotension, and those exposed to higher volumes of ICM are at higher risks for CN. Within the last several years, multiple strategies have been used in clinical studies to reduce the risk of CN in high risk individuals with inconsistent results. In general, it is agreed that volume expansion is effective in reducing the risk. However, no study has looked at changes in renal blood flow (RBF) in response to volume expansion or after exposure to ICM to investigate its relationship with occurrence of CN.
In this proposal, up to 125 individuals with preexisting kidney disease as evidenced by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 30 - 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and up to 25 individuals with normal renal function (total of up to 150 individuals) who are scheduled for coronary angiography will be studied. Each individual will have serial measurements of RBF; at baseline, after volume expansion with normal saline, and after exposure to ICM, using the novel technique of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU). The investigators will investigate the utility of monitoring RBF with CEU in predicting the occurrence of CN (a rise of > 0.3 mg/dL or 25% in baseline serum creatinine 48 hours after exposure to ICM) after adjusting for other known risk factors in the group of subjects with reduced GFR. The investigators will also examine the correlation between RBF changes and other urinary and serum biomarkers of kidney injury in this group. Up to 25 individuals with a normal kidney function will be studied in a separate part of the study in which the accuracy of CEU based measurements of RBF will be compared to the RBF and blood flow velocity obtained simultaneously using a Doppler flow probe placed directly inside the main renal artery during coronary angiogram procedure. Total to enroll = 150.

There used to be a joke among American Africanists that had particular poignancy for me. Why does the United States care about Chad? Because it is a dagger poised at the heart of the Central African Republic.
The joke had particular punch for me. I was at one time U.S. ambassador to the Central African Republic. It was — even I admitted — of almost no interest to the United States.
Now, of course, 20 years later, it is the scene of a horrible humanitarian disaster, its government having completely collapsed. Chad — because of the kidnapping of some 200 Nigerian schoolgirls — has drawn the United States to station 80 of our forces there to try to help the Nigerians and neighboring countries find the abducted students. Chad has also turned out to be oil-rich, always an attention-grabber for the United States.
However, today's column turns on another figure from another country in my past who is once again front and center — a Libyan general, Khalifa Belqasim Haftar. For those of us who are geography-challenged — the only geography course I ever had was in 4th grade — Libya, Chad and the Central African Republic are stacked north-south from the Mediterranean Sea into the center of Africa.
Libya into Chad (and Mali) and the Central African Republic has also been the route for disaster stemming from what turned out to be the disastrous decision by the United States, France and Britain to help Libyan rebels in 2011 overthrow the government of Moammar Gadhafi. None of that is to say that Gadhafi wasn't a disaster himself, in power and when he was menaced by overthrow as he threatened to slaughter part of the population of Libya.
But overthrowing him led to two more disasters. The first was that Libya descended into chaos that persists to this day. No government has been firmly established. Prime ministers have come and gone. There is no justice system, no law and order. There are no effective national security forces and, thus, locally based, well-armed militias run the show.
The second is that the overthrow of Gadhafi loosed southward into Africa, like a ruptured fracking-liquid storage tank, a flood of weaponry into the hands of fractious elements who have torn up the pea patch in a number of unsteady African countries. One was Mali. An American-trained officer carried out a coup and dissident Tuareg and radical Islamist forces in the north declared independence. The French and some African forces suppressed the revolt. But now the rebels are back, having seized control of northern Mali again.
Other beneficiaries of fugitive Libyan arms include the Muslims who set off the killing in the Central African Republic and Boko Haram, the extremist Islamist group which is now rattling the eye teeth of the fragile governments of Nigeria and neighboring Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
Thank you, those who took out Gadhafi. He was bad news, and perhaps nobody could have foreseen what would come next in Libya and in the region. But the fact remains that the United States and former colonial powers Britain and France messing around in the Libyan crisis produced the current situation in North and Central Africa.
Gen. Haftar is now presenting himself as a possible solution to the disorder that has reigned in Libya post-Gadhafi. His name was familiar to me, not from my time in Libya — I didn't know him even though he is from Benghazi, where I lived — but from my second assignment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, then Zaire, in the late 1980s. At that point Mr. Haftar's Libyan National Army, then part of Qadhafi's forces but disowned, were prisoners in Chad, having been taken prisoner by the Chadian Army in a war over a band of territory between Libya and Chad, the Aouzou Strip, which was believed to contain oil.
The Chadians wanted to get rid of their prisoners. They were an embarrassment and had to be fed and sheltered. The French, who had troops in Chad, didn't want them there either. The CIA, which had lines to Gen. Haftar and his merry band, worked with the Zairians, ruled by then-cooperative president Mobutu Sese-Seko, to get them out of Chad and, eventually, at least Gen. Haftar, to the United States. He settled in Northern Virginia, not far from CIA headquarters, until Qadhafi was overthrown.
Now Gen. Haftar is back in Libya with an army and is being talked about as the Egyptian Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi of Libya. A good question for Americans is, who set him up? Who provided his so-called Libyan National Army its equipment, transport and intelligence support?
I wouldn't be prepared to argue that someone shouldn't do something to put some order back into Libya in the face of its deepening chaos, particularly if such action were to preclude growing control by Islamist extremist militias. And there is Libya's oil, which continues to be of considerable interest to American companies.
I don't know if Gen. Haftar has retained his once good lines to the CIA. I don't have any idea if the CIA is supporting him in his campaign to put himself in power in Libya. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the agency were backing him, as an old friend, as an asset.
The real question for me is why — if we are backing Gen. Haftar — we are still messing around in places like Libya, Chad, Mali, Nigeria and the Central African Republic, as if we did not have much higher priority needs here at home?
We cannot control what happens there. Even if we think we can, we are likely to leave them worse off than when we intervened, recent cases of wrecked countries in point being Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
My impression of the growth of the U.S. military command for Africa, AFRICOM, created by President George W. Bush in 2008, is that its activities around the continent are a clear example of supply-driven actions — America pointlessly in quest of wars and enemies.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Spain found strong demand for its debt in a successful auction Thursday, two days after its treasury minister warned that the country was in danger of being shut out of markets for the cash it needs to operate.
Demand was more than three times the €611 million worth of 10-year bonds that Spain offered, up from a bid-to-offer ratio of 2.42 in April. But the interest rate Spain had to pay to sell the debt rose to 6.044% from 5.743% in April.
The yield for Spain's 10-year debt edged slightly lower to 6.13% in trading following the auction.
Treasury Minister Cristobal Montoro told Spanish radio station Onda Cero Tuesday that "the risk premium says that as a state we have a problem in accessing markets, when we need to refinance our debt."
He called for more help from other European governments to help support Spanish banks, saying the country couldn't solve its sovereign debt problems on its own.
A fixed income analyst said Thursday's results show that door hasn't shut yet on Spain.
"I think it's definitely positive in that they were able to get the money, albeit at elevated levels," said Brian Barry, a fixed income analyst for Investec in London. "But there is still a great deal of uncertainty whether they'll continue to have market access."
In addition to the 10-year auction, Spain had improved demand in auctions of 2-year and 4-year bonds, although the yields for those maturities rose as well.
Problems with Spain's banking system and its sovereign debt have become the central concern for investors and economists in recent weeks.
While there are still uncertainties about whether Greece will be forced to drop the euro following its upcoming parliamentary elections on June 17, the possibility of Spain needing help is a more pressing concern due to the size of the economy -- the fourth largest in the eurozone.
The fear is that Spain will need to be bailed out if it cannot come up with a way to recapitalize the banking sector, which could cost up to €100 billion by some estimates. But it remains to be seen if Germany will back a plan to allow bailout funds to be pumped directly to banks.
The success of the Spanish auction helped lift European stocks as well as U.S. stock futures in early trading Thursday.

British soccer star David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, spiced things up Monday by sampling Sin City's bawdy side.
Spies say they spent three hours in a private room at Spearmint Rhino, an adult entertainment club often favored by celebrities.
When Beckham walked in, I'm told, the scene looked like a jail break.
Beckham and his wife were in town for a long weekend that included the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Ricky Hatton title fight and three concerts by the reunited Spice Girls, who played their final show here on Tuesday. Beckham's wife is "Posh Spice."
The Beckhams had dinner with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas on Sunday night.
There's no business like show business, and Flamingo headliner George Wallace gave 'em a show to remember Saturday.
The veteran comedian was forced to wheel around the Flamingo stage on an office chair after rupturing his Achilles tendon earlier in the evening during a corporate gig at Bellagio.
Left with one good leg, Wallace gamely went ahead with his 10 p.m. show -- and had the house rocking while he rolled.
"I didn't want to use a wheelchair, ala George Wallace," cracked Wallace, a reference to Alabama's segregationist governor who was shot during the 1972 presidential campaign and required a wheelchair the rest of his life.
The comedian tripped on a coil of speaker wire during his appearance at Bellagio in front of an Asian banking group.
Wallace finished his gig standing in one spot and walked off using the mic stand as a crutch.
"Everybody thought I was kidding," he said.
During his show at the Flamingo, he worked his accident into his routine and ended up with two doctors on stage.
"One was an orthopedic surgeon, and the other was a pathologist. I told him, "If I see ever you again in light, that will be too soon for me.'" The orthopedic surgeon offered his help and some advice. "He told the boys from Mosaic (his opening act) 'Sing loud, because this is going to hurt.'"
"A camera guy told me afterwards, 'I think you'll want to save this DVD; it's one of the best shows we've had here," said Wallace, who has put off getting a cast on his leg until later this week.

The Prayer of Faith
Most of the children in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints enjoy the privilege of meeting once each week with others of similar age and interests in the meetings of Primary. There are, however, other children, equally as sweet and precious, who are not so fortunate.
Some years ago while visiting in Australia, I accompanied the mission president on a flight to Darwin to break ground for that city's first Latter-day Saint chapel. We stopped for refueling at the small mining community of Mt. Isa. There we were met at the terminal by a mother and her two children of Primary age. She introduced herself as Judith Louden and mentioned that she and her two children were the only members of the Church in the town. Her husband, Richard, was not a member. After four years as Church members, they had never lived where there was an organized branch of the Church. We held a brief meeting, where I discussed the importance of holding a home Primary session each week. I promised to send from Church headquarters the home Primary materials to assist them. There was a commitment to pray, to meet, to persevere in faith.
Upon returning to Salt Lake City, I not only sent the promised materials, but also a subscription to the Friend.
Years later, while attending the stake conference of the Brisbane Australia Stake, I mentioned in a priesthood session the plight of this faithful woman and her children. I said, "Someday I hope to learn how that home Primary succeeded and to meet the nonmember husband and father of that choice family." One of the brethren in the meeting stood and said, "Brother Monson, I know Richard Louden, the husband of that good woman and father of those precious children. Prayer and Primary brought him into the Church."
The power of prayer again came to mind recently. I was on assignment in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The sun was bright and cheerful. Its warmth was a welcome reprieve from the winter's cold I had left at home.
I paused by the historic Palermo Park, which graces the downtown area, and realized that this was sacred ground, for here on Christmas Day in 1925 Elder Melvin J. Ballard, an Apostle of the Lord, dedicated all of South America for the preaching of the gospel. What a fulfillment to an inspired prayer is evident today as the growth of the Church in that land exceeds all expectations!
In that same park is a large statue of George Washington, the father of the United States and its first president. As I gazed at the statue, my thoughts returned to the cold of Pennsylvania in the United States, to another historic place where prayer played a vital role—even Valley Forge. It was there that this same Washington led his badly battered, ill-fed, and scantily clad troops to winter quarters.
Today, in a quiet grove at Valley Forge, there is a heroic-sized monument to Washington. He is depicted not astride a charging horse nor overlooking a battlefield of glory, but kneeling in humble prayer, calling upon the God of heaven for divine help. To gaze upon the statue prompts the mind to remember the oft-heard expression, "A man stands tallest when upon his knees."
Men and women of integrity, character, and purpose have ever recognized a power higher than themselves and have sought through prayer to be guided by such power. Such has it ever been. So shall it ever be.
From the very beginning, Father Adam was commanded to "call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore" (Moses 5:8). Adam prayed. Abraham prayed. Moses prayed, and so did every prophet pray to that God whence came his strength. Like the sands slipping through an hourglass, generations of mankind were born, lived, and then died. At long last came that glorious event for which prophets prayed, psalmists sang, martyrs died, and mankind hoped.
The birth of that babe in Bethlehem was transcendent in its beauty and singular in its significance. Jesus of Nazareth brought prophecy to fulfillment. He cleansed lepers, he restored sight, he opened ears, he penetrated hearts, he renewed life, he taught truth, he saved all. In so doing, he honored his Father and provided you and me with an example worthy of emulation. More than any prophet or leader, he showed us how to pray. Who can fail to remember his agony in Gethsemane and that fervent prayer: "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" (Matt. 26:39). And his injunction: "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation" (Matt. 26:41). It is then that we remember:
"When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. …
"But thou, when thou prayest, … pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. …
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
"Give us this day our daily bread.
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever" (Matt. 6:5–6, 9–13).
This guiding instruction has helped troubled souls discover the peace for which they fervently yearn and earnestly hope.
Unfortunately, prosperity, abundance, honor, and praise lead some men to the false security of haughty self-assurance and the abandonment of the inclination to pray. Conversely, turmoil, tribulation, sickness, and death crumble the castles of men's pride and bring them to their knees to plead for power from on High.
(Eliza M. Hickock)
Well might the younger generation ask, "But what about today? Does he still hear? Does he continue to answer?" To which I promptly reply: "There is no expiration date on the Lord's injunction to pray. As we remember him, he will remember us."
Most of the time there are no flags waving or bands playing when prayer is answered. His miracles are frequently performed in a quiet and natural manner.
Some years ago I received the appointment to attend stake conference in Grand Junction, Colorado. As the plane circled the airport amidst heavy snow, the pilot's voice announced that it appeared our landing would not be possible, and Grand Junction would of necessity be overflown. I knew that I had been assigned to this conference by a prophet, and prayed that the weather would permit a landing. Suddenly the pilot said, "There is an opening in the cover. We'll attempt a landing." That phrase is always a bit frightening to any air traveler.
Our landing was accomplished safely, and the entire conference went without incident. I wondered why I in particular had been assigned there. Before I left Grand Junction, the stake president asked if I would meet with a distraught mother and father who were grieving over a son's decision to leave his mission field after having just arrived there. When the conference throng had left, we knelt quietly in a private place—mother, father, stake president, and I. As I prayed in behalf of all, I could hear the muffled sobs of a sorrowing mother and disappointed father. When we arose, the father said, "Brother Monson, do you really think our Heavenly Father can alter our son's announced decision to return home before completing his mission? Why is it that now, when I am trying so hard to do what is right, my prayers are not heard?" I responded, "Where is your son serving?" He replied, "In Dusseldorf, Germany."
I placed my arm around the mother and father and said to them, "Your prayers have been heard and will be answered. With more than thirty-eight stake conferences being held this day attended by General Authorities, I was assigned to your stake. Of all the Brethren, I am the only one who has the assignment to meet with the missionaries in the Germany Dusseldorf Mission this very Thursday."
Their petition had been honored by the Lord. I was able to meet with their son. He responded to their pleadings. He remained and completed a highly successful mission.
Some years later I again visited the Grand Junction Stake. Again I met the same parents. Still the father had not qualified to have his large and beautiful family join mother and father in a sacred sealing ceremony, that this family might be a forever family. I suggested that if the family would earnestly pray, they could qualify. I indicated that I would be pleased to be with them on that sacred occasion in the temple of God. Mother pleaded, Father strived, children urged, all prayed. The result? Let me share with you a treasured letter that their young son placed under Daddy's pillow on Father's Day morning.
I love you for what you are and not for what you aren't. Why don't you stop smoking? Millions of people have … why can't you? It's harmful to your health, to your lungs, your heart. If you can't keep the Word of Wisdom you can't go to heaven with me, Skip, Brad, Marc, Jeff, Jeannie, Pam and their families. Us kids keep the Word of Wisdom. Why can't you? You are stronger and you are a man. Dad, I want to see you in heaven. We all do. We want to be a whole family in heaven … not half of one.
Dad, you and Mom ought to get two old bikes and start riding around the park every night. You are probably laughing right now, but I wouldn't be. You laugh at those old people, jogging around the park and riding bikes and walking, but they are going to outlive you. Because they are exercising their lungs, their hearts, their muscles. They are going to have the last laughs.
Come on, Dad, be a good guy—don't smoke, drink, or anything else against our religion. We want you at our graduation. If you do quit smoking and do good stuff like us, you and Mom can go with Brother Monson and get married and sealed to us in the temple.
Come on, Dad—Mom and us kids are just waiting for you. We want to live with you forever. We love you. You're the greatest Dad.
P.S. And if the rest of us wrote one of these, they'd say the same thing.
P.P.S. Mr. Newton has quit smoking. So can you. You are closer to God than Mr. Newton!
That plea, that prayer of faith, was heard and answered. A night I shall ever treasure and long remember was when this entire family assembled in a sacred room in the beautiful temple that graces Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Father was there. Mother was there. Every child was there. Ordinances, eternal in their significance, were performed.
A united prayer of gratitude brought to a close this long-awaited evening.
May we ever remember:
(Hymns, 1985, no. 145)
He has taught us how to pray. That each of us will learn and live this lesson is my earnest plea and sincere prayer.
Ideas for Home Teachers
Some Points of Emphasis
You may wish to make these points in your home teaching discussions:
Men and women of character have ever sought to be guided through the power of prayer.
More than any other person, Jesus taught us how to pray.
Self-assurance sometimes leads people to turn away from prayer in their lives; conversely, tribulation often brings them back to their knees.
Thankfully, God is merciful: as we remember Him, He will remember us.
Our prayers of faith are heard, frequently bringing God's answers in a quiet and natural manner.
Discussion Helps
Relate your feelings about the power of prayer in our lives.
Are there some scriptures or quotations in this article that the family might read aloud and discuss?
Would this discussion be better after a pre-visit chat with the head of the house? Is there a message from the bishop or quorum president?

Impairment of the respiratory epithelium caused by zinc oxide nanoparticle exposure?
Search Medline for
Published: | August 3, 2011 |
Background: Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are used in industrial products like wall paint, sunscreen, and are byproducts of combustion processes. An impairment of the respiratory epithelium by ZnO-nanoparticle exposure seems feasible. However, the exact mechanism of a potential cell damage has not been investigated yet. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by ZnO nanoparticle exposure might play a significant role and influence the cell viability of the respiratory epithelium.
Methods: ROS formation and cell viability of the epithelial cell line A549 was analyzed by fluorochrome staining after exposure to ZnO-nanopaticles (size: 4–5/15–18 nm; concentration: 0.1, 10, 100 µg/ml) over different periods of time, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hrs.
Results: The impact of ZnO-nanoparticles on the reduction of cell viability and ROS formation of the respiratory epithelium was time- and dose dependent. However, differences depending on the particle size did not reach significance.
Conclusion: ZnO-nanoparticle exposure seems to influence cell viabilitiy and ROS formation and might therefore be related to respiratory cell damage and diseases of the respiratory tract.

Just recently, Tunisians were able to oust an unpopular dictator with very little violence. Borzou Daraghi reports that the protests in Tunisia were 3 years in the making. He reports that 3 years ago:
Activists and some elements in the country's main labor organization, the General Union of Tunisian Workers, or UGTT, saw an opening in Gafsa and tried to advance the cause of the movement, using video posted to YouTube to publicize the plight of the locals in a campaign that lasted six months. Ben Ali's response was harsh.
As Tunisia struggles to develop a civil society that can fill the hole left by the dictatorial regime, Egyptians have taken to the streets. MideastYouth.com is following the story from Egypt here. The blogger states:
In brief, Tunisia has made people, not only in Egypt but all across the region, to believe that the ousting of any totalitarian regime is within reach, if people actually march into the streets, not only on the internet. Signs of releasing anger has spread all across Egypt by tearing Mubarak's pictures in several areas.
Events in Egypt can be followed live on Al Jazeera and Crowdvoice is also keeping track of events.
The New York Times has an overview of the "smoldering fury" in Egypt (Egyptians' Fury Has Smoldered Beneath the Surface for Decades)
The Egyptian police have a long and notorious track record of torture and cruelty to average citizens. One case that drew widespread international condemnation involved a cellphone video of the police sodomizing a driver with a broomstick. In June 2010, Alexandria erupted in protests over the fatal beating by police of beating Khaled Said, 28. The authorities said he died choking on a clump of marijuana, until a photograph emerged of his bloodied face. Just last month, a suspect being questioned in connection with a bombing was beaten to death while in police custody.
Bloggers talk about their experiences with MSNBC. They quote blogger Noha Atef: "Police never beat me, but more than one time summoned me. I was advised by them to stop blogging, while my family were threatened of my disappearance, rape and 'punishment' if they didn't stop me."
Finally (for today) Enduring America has been covering events in Egypt on their live blog.

" El precio me parece muy elevado en relación al servicio recibido. La localización del hostal es pésima, estando a 45 minutos andando del centro de la ciudad y aunque si está bien comunicada con un autobús, éste solo circula hasta las 8:35, haciendo que si quieres ver la ciudad hasta una hora algo más tarde te espere una vuelta al hostal agotadora. Si no tienes un presupuesto muy elevado como era mi caso es la única opción pero si puedes permitirte otro mejor situado no lo dudes. "

A judge set bond at $800,000 Wednesday for a Toledo man charged in connection with a string of convenience store robberies.
DeJuan Willingham, 25, of 434 Southgate Circle Dr., pleaded not guilty before Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Michael Goulding to 10 counts of aggravated robbery with firearm specifications, two counts of felonious assault, and three counts of kidnapping.
Lindsay Navarre, an assistant Lucas County prosecutor, requested the high bond, citing the serious nature of the charges against Willingham and his criminal history.
Judge Goulding ordered that Willingham have no contact with co-defendants Leroy Alcorn, 24, and Ieasha Bates, 23.
While Mr. Alcorn remains at large, Ms. Bates pleaded not guilty Wednesday to one count of aggravated robbery with a firearm specification and one count of obstructing justice.
Her bond was set at $75,000, and a pretrial hearing for both Willingham and Ms. Bates was scheduled for July 14.

Education minister invited to take a walk
Children as young as five may have to walk 3.5 kilometres twice a day as a result of the Langley school district decision to swap a proposed school site in the Routley neighbourhood of Willoughby for another location in the Yorkson neighbourhood.
The prediction was made Tuesday by Pete Pretorius, spokesperson for a group of parents campaigning to keep the Routley site.
A few hours before parents representatives were to meet with the board of education and Township council to discuss the issue, the parents issued a public challenge to provincial Education Minister George Abbott, to walk the route many students will be forced to take.
Pretorius said for some Routley parents, driving their children is not a practical option, nor is hiring a school bus that can cost as much as $300 a month.
That means some will be forced to make a three and one-half kilometre trip on foot across 200 Street to attend primary school, Pretorius said.
He said building a school on the designated site in the rapidly-growing Routley neighbourhood is a "logical next step" that should proceed.
Pretorius said parents were unsure they will get to make their case at the Tuesday night meeting with the Township and board of education, because they've been told the meeting was to explain the decision-making process that produced the land swap.
"That's not going to leave a lot of time for us," Pretorius said.
Langley school district staff have defended the land swap as an appropriate response to shifting growth patterns in the Willoughby area.
Superintendent Cheryle Beaumont has said the provincial government decides when to build new schools and the district can't hope that one "will appear from the sky" just because it owns a lot.
The Township is involved because the land swap agreement between the school district and the developer who owns the Yorkson property must get rezoning approval before it can proceed.
And a Township of Langley "Routley Park conceptual plan" shows the site was originally designated for construction of an elementary school, once the area was fully developed.

Erin and Patrick were married at the beginning of May in Cohasset MA. I was not the primary photographer on this wedding but shot alongside Sam Liang of Zeliang photography, to help capture their MA wedding day. They were married at Atlantica just on the waterfront, with Erin and Patrick both getting ready at the Cohasset Harbor Inn, just within a stones throw of the venue.
A little way outside of Boston, Cohasset was a wonderful choice of location for their New England wedding day and all the celebrations. I had not photographed before in Cohasset so I had been looking forward to working with Sam in this new location. After starting with the bridesmaids getting the finishing touches to their hair and make up, I made my way to meet with Patrick and the rest of the groomsmen.
It's great fun working with both the bride and the groom before their wedding and these shots and this time allows for some great photos for the wedding album. Working with Patrick and his groomsmen was really good fun. They were a great bunch and were a really close group of friends, which is always so nice to photograph. It was really great to capture the wedding day photos in Cohasset at a number of locations, from the salon, hotel and venue.
After we had got portraits of all the guys it was time to get to the venue to capture the guests arriving and some of the wonderful details, decorations and centerpieces they had chosen for their day. They had a great group of friends and family join them for their celebration and I think that the wedding photos at Atlantica Cohasset, show the happiness that was there with them, for their New England wedding celebrations.
I am currently booking for 2013 and even have a few last weekends available in 2012, so if you wish to discuss you Boston wedding photography coverage then please get in touch by going through the contact page.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to "like" the New England wedding photography Facebook page here.

So How Is The Inclusive, Open-Minded Left Coast Doing With 815's New Gospel?
Augering into the ground.
This is the most left-wing part of the nation. The most liberal. The most gay-friendly.
When you see these devastating losses—recalling that many of the losses for those dioceses which have merely lost parishes have not yet been counted on the church stats pages—you just realize that if the liberal activist 815 gospel can't get off the ground in California, it's just not going to make it anywhere.
The numbers are simply staggering.
In California, we have an ASA drop from its highest in 2001 of around 11,500 to its current ASA of around 8700.
In El Camino Real, we have an ASA drop from its highest in 2000 of around 6500 to its current ASA of around 4600.
In Los Angeles, we have an ASA drop from its highest in 2002 of around 23,500 to its current ASA of around 20,000—statistically the least percentage drop, which I suppose is some comfort.
In Northern California, we have an ASA drop from its highest in 2000 of around 7900 to its current ASA of around 5600.
In San Diego, we have an ASA drop from its highest in 2003 of around 9000 to its current ASA of around 7500.
And in San Joaquin—where they have taken their statistical lumps—have have an ASA drop from its highest in 2000 of around 4600 to its current ASA of around 1000. But hey—who could have imagined that there were so many [heh] fundamentalist right-wing neanderthals hiding out in The Episcopal Church in California to cause that much of a gap after their departures anyway!!!???
So all told, we have, over a ten year span, gone from ASA highs of around 63,000 to the current meltdown of 47,400.
The fact is . . . a bunch of liberal activist loons have acquired some collars and are hawking a product that nobody wants to buy.

Retail customers, mostly women, those interested in fairtrade goods.
Need a clean, modern logo, small and simple not big a flashy. Most important aspect is good typography this logo will likely be used elsewhere (general corp' identity). Not necessarily looking for a logo to go with it, if you do incorporate one it will need to be simple.
If you wish to base your design around a theme then be aware that Yonjai Spa import products from the far east so that should be taken into account.
The background for the logo will be a gradient from #00B4B6 to #FFFFFF (top to bottom), so the logo must 'work' on this gradient. The font color will therefore, need to be a colour darker than #00B4B6 and is a good match. Logos that ignore this requirement will be eliminated without feedback.
The logo should be no higher than 125px and be supplied in .psd format for Photoshop CS3 editing and accompanied by any custom fonts used.
This contest is guaranteed but a winner will be chosen on Monday or Tuesday.
Thank you for your time :)

By continuing to use this site, you are agreeing to the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
(MONEY Magazine) -- Interest rates are lousy, and you can boost your yield only so much. But these savings and credit strategies will pay off.
Get a high-yield checking account. You can earn nearly 20 times the rate of the average savings account while dodging the fees that plague basic checking accounts.
Community banks or credit unions offer the best rates (up to 4%) and will usually reimburse you up to $25 a month in ATM fees, says Ken Tumin of DepositAccounts.com.
One catch: There are usually some requirements (you may not be able to keep more than $10,000 in the account, for example). See depositaccounts.com for options near your home.
Use an online brokerage. Many offer the same features as bank checking -- direct deposit, ATM/debit card, checks, and online bill paying -- but their cash accounts are virtually fee-free (you generally need to have an investment account with the firm too).
Top picks: Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity offer both free checking and FDIC insurance, says Tumin.
What you don't know. Withdrawal penalties on CDs are high. Two month's interest is the lowest withdrawal penalty on a five-year CD, according to Bankrate.com.
Locking up your dough for just two years can pay; if you put $10,000 into Ally Bank's five-year CD, for example, after two years you'd earn an effective 1.59% vs. 0.86% on the top savings account. See Bankrate.com for the best CDs.
Flaunt your score. If you're sitting on 700 or above, don't settle for less than a 1.5% rewards rate on your credit card, says Tim Chen of NerdWallet.com, a credit card information site.
6 ways to get a great mortgage deal
Make sure that you'll take full advantage of the rewards the card offers (those frequent-flier miles won't do you much good if you're a homebody), and that the annual fees don't cancel out the benefits, says Alex Matjanec of MyBankTracker.com.
Track bonus offers. The standard sign-up offer of 25,000 to 30,000 miles sounds like a lot, but many banks will increase that to 50,000 to 100,000 a couple times a year. Capital One Venture Rewards, for example, recently ran a 100,000-miles promo, up from its usual 10,000. NerdWallet.com and MyBankTracker.com update their lists of credit card offers daily.
Best rewards cards. Tim Chen of NerdWallet.com picks the three best rewards cards.
If you want cash: Capital One Cash
No annual fee. Interest: 0% for a year, then variable.
You get: Effectively 1.5% cash back (1% on all purchases, plus an annual 50% bonus on rewards earned).
If you eat out a lot: Citi Forward
No annual fee. Interest: 0% for a year, then variable.
You get: Five points per $1 spent on restaurants and entertainment; one point per $1 for all else, redeemable for a variety of rewards including gift cards.
If you travel a lot: American Express Starwood Preferred Guest
Annual fee: $65 (waived the first year). Interest: Variable.
You get: Four points for every dollar spent at more than 1,000 hotels around the world.
