Taylor was last in the heat going around the final turn, but she managed to finish with a flourish again, passing former U.S. Olympic Trial competitor Yvonne Harrison—now running for Puerto Rico—and Great Britain’s Sinead Dudgeon, who had beaten Taylor in the preliminaries...
...nothing unusual or necessarily counterproductive about an administration making its decision on the basis of input from both hawks and doves. But when such disputation is telegraphed to a wired world in real time, it can wreak havoc with U.S. diplomacy. Does the administration regard China as a "strategic competitor"? Depends who you ask.

Savings account? ING Direct offers 4.75% interest--no fees or minimum balance required. All good deals, but we doubt you'll take the bait. E-banks, it seems, can't even give money away.

They fear thieving hackers, even though the deposits are federally insured...
