About Technology Mission On Cotton :
Cotton is one of the principal commercial crops. In India we have the largest area in the world - around 9 million hectares. But -we are only the third largest producer of cotton in the world. The average yield has moved from a level of 88 kg. lint per ha. in 1950-51 to 265 kg. lint/ha. in 1996-97. However, it is far lower than the world average of 550 kg. lint/ ha.
Cotton plays an important role in the National economy providing large employment in the farm, marketing and processing sectors. Cotton textiles along with other textiles also contribute about 1/3,d of the Indian exports. However, India's share of global textile exports is only 3. 1%. To increase the country's share of global exports, in the WTO regime of liberalized trade, the country will have to take the challenge of competition in price and quality. Abundant supply of raw material of Quality and at reasonable price will, therefore, be crucial.
Although, there has been significant growth in production, productivity and quality of cotton during the last 50 years, our productivity is still below the average world productivity of countries like Australia, China, USA and Turkey. Even productivity of our irrigated cotton is low.
The major constraints faced by Indian cotton are
(a) Almost 65,Yo of the area under cotton is rainfed with erratic and poorly distributed rains during the cropping season.
(b) Severe attack of insect pests and diseases.
(c) Inadequate Transfer of Technology.
(d) Paucity of adequate quantity of quality seeds and
multiplicity of varieties.
(e) Inadequate marketing facilities and infrastructure, and
(f ) Obsolete ginning and pressing machinery and unscientific ginning practices.
Pre -TMC Scenario
(i) Research :
The research on cotton conducted by ICAR through CICR, Nagpur and its Regional Stations and various SAUs showed satisfactory achievements on the following major aspects.
(1) Availability of -huge collection of widely germ plasm accessions in the National Cotton Gene Bank.
(2) A well established research net work.
(3) Availability of highly trained scientific man power.
(4) All the four cultivated specifies of cotton are grown commercially
(5) Commercialization of hybrid cotton including inter and intra specific hybrids
(6) Success in R & D efforts changed the countries position in cotton map of the world from net Importer of cotton to net exporter of cotton.
(7) Availability of huge untapped potential in the form of stress resistant G. arboreum cotton for future varieties/ hybrids development programmes.
(ii) Development :
The scheme of Intensive Cotton Development Programme (ICDP) was started in 1971-72 and continued upto 1998-99 till launching of Technology Mission on Cotton in order to transfer of modern technology to the farmer's field from Research Stations. Before inception of the scheme, the cotton area was 7.61 million ha., production was 4.76 million bales with productivity of 106 kg. lint per ha.. in 1970-71 which increased to the tune of 9.29 million ha., production of 12.18 million bales with productivity of 223 kg. lint per ha. in 1998-99. The Centrally -Sponsored Intensive Cotton Development Programme was implemented in 9 major States (Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Tamil Nadu) and 2 minor States (Uttar Pradesh and Orissa) of the country on 75:25 per cent sharing loans between Govt. of India and State Government.
(iii) Marketing & Processing :
Generally about 3011/o of cotton is marketed by Cotton Corporation of India and other Government marketing federations and the rest 70,Yo by the private processors/trade. In the country, about 4000 regulated markets are available out of which many are involved in cotton trade. The facilities provided by regulated markets to farmers were inadequate owing to their poor infrastructure which led to poor quality as compared to many other countries due to mixing of lint from many varieties at the market place.
Most of the ginning and pressing units are old and outdated. Due to this, not only quality of cotton is deteriorating but their efficiency is also low in terms of ginning percentage.
Technology Mission on Cotton:
Encouraged by the results obtained in oilseeds by Mission Mode approach during the 1990s, it was thought appropriate to follow a similar approach for improvement of production, productivity and quality of cotton, bringing the entire gamut of research, development including technology transfer, marketing and processing of cotton under one umbrella. Government of India has thus decided to set up Technology Mission on Cotton and it was launched in February, 2000 by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
(a) To improve the yield and quality of cotton, particularly in respect of staple length, micronaire, strength, etc., by developing better cotton varieties and through improved seeds and Integrated Water, Nutrient and Pest Management Technologies and their transfer to farmers.
(b) To increase the income of the cotton growers by reducing the cost of cultivation apart from increasing the yield per hectare by proper transfer of technology to the growers thereby increasing the production and availability of cotton for internal consumption and exports.
(c) To improve the quality of cotton, particularly in respect of trash, contamination, etc., by improving the infrastructure in the market yards for cotton, by providing better facilities for cotton marketing and reducing foreign matters, resulting in minimum contamination in cotton.
(d) To improve cotton processing facilities by upgrading/ modernizing the existing ginning and pressing factories, resulting in cotton processing with minimum or no contamination to achieve better value added products like yarn, cloth, garments, made-ups, etc.
To fulfill the above objectives 4 Mini Missions are established under TMC as follows:

The cotton farmers of these states are provided subsidy on the various components stated above and special emphasis is given for SC/ST/Small/Marginal and Women farmers.
The Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India is the nodal agency for Mini Mission - 111. 700/o of cotton produced in the country is marketed by private trade. The remaining 300/o is marketed by the Cotton Corporation of India Ltd. (CCI), a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, Maharashtra State Cotton Growers' Cooperative Marketing Federation (for Maharashtra only) and to some extent by other State Cooperative Cotton Growers'Federation Ltd.
The aim of implementation of this mission is to develop the market infrastructure to eliminate contamination during the handling of cotton in market yards. For this purpose the Govt. of India is providing assistance on activating non- functional yards, improvement in yards and setting up of new yards under this mission. 600/o of the cost of development is borne by GOI and balance by the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC)/State Government concerned. Govt. of India's assistance is limited to Rs. 1.5 crores for setting up of new yards and Rs.2.5 crores for activation of dormant market yards.
The Ministry of Textile, Govt. of India is the nodal agency for Mini Mission - IV
At present there are 4000 ginning and pressing factories in the country including about 400 composite units, comprising of both roller ginning and saw ginning. Saw ginning is confined to the irrigated Northern Zone, producing short and medium staple cotton. Roller ginning is popular in all other cotton growing areas. Under this Mission the subsidy is being provided on modernization of ginning and pressing factories @ 50 units per year. Preference is given to the existing composite units. 250/o of the cost of modernization/ upgradation of ginning factory limited to Rs.20.00 lakh is borne by Government of India and the rest by the entrepreneur.
With a view to ensuring supply of quality raw material by the Textile Ministr to the Textile mills on sustainable basis efforts have been made to create a general awareness against contamination and a better work culture. Some of the steps taken are as under:
- General awareness meetings are organized in cotton growing States wherein farmers, market yard officials, G&P factory owners, traders, Agricultural Scientists, Agriculture Extension Officers are brought on one platform to discuss ways and means to improve the quality of cotton and reduce contamination. The Second tier awareness meetings are also organized by the APMCs during cotton arrivals in the markets when large number of cotton growers congregate in the markets. The State Governments/APMCs have been requested to take up the awareness programmes in all market yards, whether or not covered under MM-111, on a sustainable basis.
- 'Best Management Practices (BMP)' relating to do's and don@t's at farm level, market yard level and G&P factories in local languages are distributed at these Awareness Meetings and sent to all G&P factories and market yards to improve the quality of cotton and reduce contamination.
- G&P factories and market yards have been requested to display the BMP prominently at different places in the market yards and G&P factories.
- All market yards have been requested to open shops in the market yards for supply of good quality inputs like seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
The Agriculture Commissioner, Department of Agriculture & Co-operation, Ministry of Agriculture, Krishi Bhavan, New Delhi is the Director of Technology Mission on Cotton who reviews the progress of implementation of all Mini Missions from time to time as and when needed.

The Telephone To God (TTG) circuit provides several fertile areas of cutting edge research for readers to dabble in; from influencing the probability of decaying radioactive particles (quantum mechanics), aka mind's influence on nature and machines to precognition and telepathy.
The TTG circuit can be used for testing PSI; precognition, telepathy and psychokinesis (PK). In a pinch, it can even be used as home radioactive bomb/fallout detector. And when not used in any of the above applications it's a truly random mood light with a very high coolness factor.
History of the TTG
When I designed this circuit I had thought it original to me. My company has turned this circuit into a small commercial product. A series of events cause me to look to see if a RNG had ever been connect to four different color lights to test for PSI and PK. Searching through the Internet I found that connecting a "Geiger counter" RNG, to a modulo four selector to four different color lights for the expressed purpose of testing PSI and PK had been done in the 1960's by Helmut Schmidt.
Journal of Applied Physics, Feb 1970 pg 462-468, ISSN: 0021-8979
Not only had my circuit been created before, but in almost the exact same manner.
Helmut Schmidt had made many RNG devices, this was only one of them.
Telephone To God Disclaimer:
When used as a fortune telling device, ie, "Telephone to God", (TTG) I make the following disclaimer. The Telephone To God, is based upon the randomness of radioactivity, the user's interpretation of these random events is their own responsibility. The Telephone To God is offered as an entertainment device ONLY! I do not accept any responsible for any results consequential or inconsequential from the use or misuse of this device.
A Telephone To God, on the surface, it sounds too unbelievable to be true, well maybe not. Read on and make your own decision. Einstein is quoted as saying God does not play dice with the universe.To which Neils Bohr replied, Einstein, stop telling God what to do with his dice."
Our Telephone To God relies on the randomness of radioactivity. The built in minature Geiger counter detects background radiation. Background radiation consists of three sources: cosmic, terrestrial, and internal. Cosmic radiation comes from the sun and stars. Terrestrial radiation comes from low levels of uranium, thorium, and their decay products in the soil, air and water. Internal radiation comes from radioactive potassium-40, carbon-14, lead-210, and other isotopes found inside our bodies.
Connected to the built in Geiger counter is a PIC microcontroller that uses the randomtime interval between the detection of radioactive particles to trigger the selection of a random number between 1 and 4. Random numbers generated by a computer are pseudo-random numbers. They are random in an exact and repeatable pattern. So, they are NOT random and are thusly referred to as pseudo-random numbers. The random numbers generated by our TTG circuit are truly random. The Random Number Generator (RNG) will produce approximately one to two random numbers every minute.
As stated, the Telephone To God generates a random number one through four. Each number is assigned to a color LED that is displayed in our lamp unit attached to the phone. Number one is assigned the color (1 =) Red, two is assigned the color (2= ) Green, three is assigned the color (3 =) Blue and four is assigned the color (4 =) Yellow. Feel free to mix up and/or change the LED colors, as you desire.
Telephone To God - To use this device as a fortune telling device, aka, Telephone To God, assign answervalues to the LED colors; for instance red = No, green = Yes, Blue = maybe, and Yellow ask again later. Something like a color light magic 8 ball. Ask God a question and wait for the color light reply. Is this any better than a magic eight ball? That's for you to decide? Let me leave you with this quote from - Matthew 10:29. Not even a sparrow falls to earth without God knowing it. Therefore God would know of this telephone and could communicate through it
When not talking to God, our Telephone To God has a ton of other fun and useful applications:
PSI Testing
The TTG circuit can be used in the same manner as Helmut Schmidt's RNG device to test for precognition and psychokinesis.
Precognition Test - The Telephone To God (TTG), displays one of four colored LED light in a truly random sequence. Here the experimenter tries to guess the next color that will be lite. By correctly guessing the next color to be displayed, statistically greater than chance (one in four) alone would account for then experimenters show precognition.
Psychokinesis (PK) - Influence of the Mind Over Machine: Helmut Schmidt PK experiments in the 1960's followed this procedure. The subject tries to make one color come out greater than what would be allowed by chance. If that color id outputted by the device statistically greater than chance would account for that the experimenter can show PK.
PEAR is an acronym for the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research. This interpret group of people led by Robert G. Jahn studied the mind influencing the behavior of machines, and proved a statistically correlation.
Global Consciousness Project - Local Egg - Dr. Dean Radin scientist and author has created a global network of random number generators (he named "eggs") which at times show statistical anomalies. A statistical anomaly is when the random numbers generated are a little less than random. This is expected to happen when large national or global events occur. For instance, 3 hours before the first jet hit during 9-11 the global network of eggs became a little less random indicating that the generators were picking up "a giant wave of consciousness," he said.
Dean Radin can explain the global consciousness project far more eloquently than I, here is a link to a Youtube video.
The TTG, outputs the random number produces through a TTL serial port that can be read by a computer. This number can be stored and analyzed statistically by the PC computer turning the TTG into a local egg.
Random Number Generator (RNG) - Our TTG can generate truly random numbers. You may question the need for random numbers. True random numbers are useful for data encryption (cryptography), statistical mechanics, probability, gaming, neural networks and disorder systems, to name a few.
Mood Light: The randomly changing colors from the lamp are a soothing. You may consider the randomly changing colors as an example of God talking but no one is listening.
"Radioactivity Detector" The TTG circuit may be also be used as a nuclear bomb/fallout radioactivity detector. If the Led's start flashing at a greater rate of two changes per minute for any length of time, you may be experiencing higher than normal radioactivity in the area.
How Random Numbers are Generated:
The way the random number generator operates is simple to understand. However, its fundamental function is best described using a mechanical analogy. Imagine if you will a sequence of numbers painted on a revolving wheel. A pointer is fixed on the outside of the wheel pointing to the number at the top of the wheel. The wheel is set into motion, spinning very rapidly. Then at any given randommoment the wheel is instantly stopped. The number under the pointer becomes our random number. Once read, the wheel is set back into motion.
The microcontroller program follows pretty close to the mechanically analog. The microcontroller spins the sequence of numbers; one thought four internally, in a for-next loop. The random point in time when the sequence of numbers is instantly stopped is generated by the detection of a radioactive particle by the tiny built-in geiger counter. The number is read, displayed via LEDs and sent out serially on the TTL port , if one wishes to perform other random number generator (RNG) experiments.
Please note: this video shows the Telephone To God Phone with radioactive element nearby to induce faster random number generation. When used under normal conditions, the TTG Phone will generally produce about 1 to 2 random numbers (color changes) a minute.

MONTREAL -- The Buffalo Sabres didn't make it easy on themselves, but they got the job done.
The Sabres prevailed in the shootout, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 inside a packed Bell Centre on Sunday in their preseason opener. Zemgus Girgensons scored twice in the game and Mikhail Grigorenko netted the decisive goal on a nifty backhand in the shootout.
Defenseman Jamie McBain and camp invitee Colton Gillies also scored for Buffalo.
Matt Hackett was the winning goaltender, taking over midway through the game for starter Jhonas Enroth. Hackett stopped 11 of 12 shots in 35:23. Enroth made 10 saves on 13 shots.
Michael Bournival tallied twice for Montreal. The Canadiens also received goals from Erik Nystrom and Martin St. Pierre.
Before they could reach the shootout however, the Sabres had to successfully kill off two penalties in the third and in the overtime period.
Buffalo didn't hold a lead in the game until the very end and fought back from four one-goal deficits.
"We kind of knew they were going to come out hard here in an exhibition game with the crowd they did. I thought we got better as the game went on," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "But I liked a lot of our younger players and the poise that they had in an environment like this for the first time."
Though the Sabres got into penalty trouble, particularly late in the game and in overtime, they killed off four of Montreal's six power plays.
"We had a lot of kills and a lot of double odd-man situations which made it tough, but I think we hung in there," Ott said. "Obviously there's always room for improvement. That was our first real test."
While Rolston and the coaching staff would rather not find themselves in so many shorthanded situations, developing players like Girgensons relished the opportunity to be on the ice during a crucial penalty kill.
"I think it's really good for the team to be put in such tough situations before the real season because it still matters how we play here, but it's a lot about learning and getting prepared for the regular season," Girgensons said. "So I think it's good putting us in those tough situations. It helps us down the road."
Girgensons' first goal came on the penalty kill 0:58 into the second period to tie the game at one. He scored again with 8:09 left in the period to make it 3-3, beating Furcale with a wrist shot from the off wing.
"He changed really the game, the momentum of getting the shorthanded goal and then getting the second goal he had on the short side," Rolston said. "…I thought [Girgensons] was one of our best players tonight."
The Sabres lineup Sunday featured heavily touted prospects like Grigorenko, Girgensons, Ristolainen, Nikita Zadorov, Johan Larsson and Mark Pysyk mixed with veterans like Ott, Drew Stafford, Patrick Kaleta, Cody McCormick, Henrik Tallinder and Mike Weber.
Ott was impressed with the grit some of the younger players showed in the game. Ristolainen in particular blocked a hard shot early in the third period.
"The sacrifice is there. The compete is there and those are aspects you can't teach," Ott said. "When young guys are doing that and sacrificing themselves, it just shows they want to be on this team. Obviously, it bodes well throughout our lineup and the stable of young prospects that we have. "
Ott served as captain for the game. Rolston said he will continue to rotate the "C" throughout the season before naming a full-time captain. Tallinder and Stafford served as the alternates.

Figure 1, Stamp Act political cartoon
In many important ways the United States is a unique nation. Unlike most European nations, which are based on a specific national language, dominate religion, culture or ethnicity; the United States is based on an association of very different categories of people. While most of the colonies were originally founded by the English, they were very different is structure. These colonies were either chartered as private companies, such as Virginia or Massachusetts or proprietary, such as Maryland or the Carolinas and the purpose of the colonies also varied widely. Some colonies were for profit ventures, as in Virginia, while others were places of religious refuge, such as Plymouth, and still others were social experiments, places for religious tolerance, as was the case in Rhode Island, or social rehabilitation, as in Georgia. Not only were the colonies set up in very different manners but also they were originally more connected with the home country than with each other. Not only were Virginia and Massachusetts separated in social structures but by hundreds of miles of undeveloped coastline. The Dutch would establish New Amsterdam further separating these two English colonies. It would not be until the mid eighteenth century when an inter-colonial road system would begin to develop allowing significant trans-colonial social interaction that a sense of "Americanism" would start to be noticed in English North America. But even on the eve of the American Revolution the concept of an American nation was a rare topic of conversation.
The purpose of the colonies in the British imperial system was to enrich the mother country. This purpose was fulfilled by a trade system known as "mercantilism" which was a trade system, which focused on maintaining a favorable balance of trade. In this system the gold and silver acquired in the empire should ultimately migrate to the mother country by a system, which imported raw materials, which were used in the manufacturing of high valued finished goods, which were subsequently exported in exchange for gold and silver. In this system the colonies doubled as sources of raw materials and as markets for markets for the finished manufactured goods. For most of two centuries this system seemed equitable to both England and the colonies but would ultimately engender many of the grievances, which contributed to the causes of the American Revolution.
Paradoxically the success of the British Empire in acquiring supremacy against its imperial rivals also paved the way for the growth of the American nation. England was not alone in its quest for an empire in North America. The Spanish had been first and had out posts in Florida long before the establishment of Jamestown, the French also built an inland trade empire across what is today Canada and the Dutch would establish New Amsterdam right in the middle of British North America. Starting with the seizure of New Amsterdam in 1664 and concluding with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British were successful in eliminating virtually all European imperial competition east of the Mississippi in North America. Following Britain's great success in consolidating power in North the colonists seemed content to be part of the British Empire. When Benjamin Franklin had offered his Albany Plan in 1754, which proposed a colonial union, this was not a call for separation from Britain. As late as the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763, the thought that the colonies should separate from Britain was simply not popularly considered, yet in barely more than a decade the call for separation was being discussed throughout the colonies. How this change occurred and how the revolution succeeded are the topics of this unit.

Unfortunately any text on American history will leave out certain people and events and the American Nation is no exception. However since this class is being taught online it is simple to add a few interesting Patriots so follow the links and read aboutJohn Paul Jones, Molly Pitcher Molly Pitcher and David Bushnell.
All issues discussed in the text are important for this class as well as the years in which events took place. After reading chapter three and four the student needs to be able to answer the following questions and discuss related topics:
Questions for Chapter Three:
Figure 3 The last issue of the Pennsylvania Journal which ceased publication in protest to the Stamp Act
Figure 4, Political Cartoon of Governor Hutchinson
Questions for Chapter Four:
Figure 5, Cartoon protesting the British attacks at Lexington and Concord showing coffins and a list of the dead killed by the "Bloody Butchery of British Troops."
Figure 6, Recruitment Poster for General Washington's Army
Figure 7, English political cartoon showing the mother Britannia fighting with daughter America
Before the American Revolution the English colonies in North America were merely a group of scattered minor colonies on the frontier of a growing British Empire. While their financial importance was growing they were still less important to the coffers of Britain than the single tiny sugar island of Barbados and despite being arranged together on the Atlantic coast of a single continent most of the colonies were more bound directly to the mother country than they were to each other. In 1763 following the Peace of Paris the French had surrendered Canada and the Spanish were pushed far to the west, Britain found itself master of virtually all of North America east of the Mississippi river. The stage seemed to be set for greatly expanding colonial prosperity. The population of the English colonies was loyal to their "Britannic Majesty" and would soon swell over two million. Without European rivals to defend against the future of the colonies within the British Empire seemed assured. However within thirteen years these thirteen independent colonies had moved to form a nation, declared independence and raised an army against their mother country. In an amazing twist, after having struggled through a long and expensive series of wars, England had gone from being the biggest winner in the North American colonial sweepstakes, to being the greatest loser. After winning control of the board, the British Empire lost almost the entire region through a series of what can only be described as colossal mismanagement.
Clearly the British government had misjudged the severity of the crisis from the start and most of the measures that it took to regain control of the situation only made the crisis worse. If the British had used better political management in regard the collection of taxes, an appreciation of the colonial view of government, or simply focused on what the colonists considered the "constitution" and the "Rights of Englishmen" the thirteen colonies might have stayed in the imperial system as long as the Canadian provinces. And yet what becomes clear as the revolution unfolds was that a nation had been forming unknown to even the colonists. A common cause, a national mentality, the American experience had formed.
This nationalist character was demonstrated even in the opening battles of the revolution. While the first colony to take the offensive against British was Massachusetts, but the commander of the revolutionary forces at the Battle of Bunker hill came from Rhode Island while the general who forced the British evacuation of Boston Harbor from the Dorchester Heights was form Virginia. The British kept trying to divide the colonies from each other: the first faze of the Revolution was fought in Massachusetts, this was followed by new campaign in New York aimed at splitting the New England colonies from the southern colonies, and the last faze was fought in the south. During each faze the British hoped to have their effort buoyed by local loyalties, but in many cases the simple presence of British troops warring upon the population more often turned the locals into Patriots.
Following the revolution despite victory against the British the survival of the nascent United States of America was anything but assured. Instead of being able to count on the protection of the most powerful nation on earth, this weak nation had to count on itself for survival. One problem that needed to be solved was how was the government was to be structured? Would a king be needed? If the nation was to be a Republic how was that possible, if history was a guide it showed that no Democracy or Republic of any size was destined to last very long before being overrun, such as Athens, or transformed, such as the Roman Republic, into a dictatorship.
This problem was tackled in a genuinely unique fashion in the design of the United States Constitution and will be examined in unit #3.

Definición de poverty en inglés:
sustantivo[mass noun]
- The results suggest that providing day care may be insufficient as a strategy to reduce poverty.
- The new kind of poverty was in the process of acquiring a revolutionary quality.
- Looking at this village now, it is hard to imagine the poverty that existed here 100 years ago.
- It shows a complete poverty of imagination and a vast amount of callousness.

Middle English: from Old French poverte, from Latin paupertas, from pauper 'poor'.
poor from Middle English:
The Latin word for 'poor' pauper, is the base of pauper (early 16th century), poverty (Middle English), and poor. The phrase poor as a church mouse, or 'extremely poor', comes from the notion that a church mouse must be particularly deprived as it does not have the opportunity to find pickings from a kitchen or larder, and there are few crumbs to be found in a well-swept church. You sometimes hear a wealthy young person whose money appears to bring them no happiness described as poor little rich girl (or boy). Though he did not coin the phrase, Noël Coward certainly popularized it with his 1925 song 'Poor Little Rich Girl'.

In his first interview since overcoming his injury problems, the midfielder revealed he thinks of the Gunners as his "perfect club" and and that he is perfectly happy to stay there and attempt to reach the same number of appearances as the likes of Tony Adams.
"I've been at this club 10 years and to come through the academy at Hale End and break into the first team is a great story. It's a dream," he said.
"To have my family 20 minutes from the training ground and an hour from the stadium is perfect for me. Cesc wanted to go home. Home for me is Arsenal. Cesc wanted to go back to his family and friends. My family and friends are 20 minutes away. It's perfect.
"I've played 39 games in the Premier League, which is nothing when you look at players like Tony Adams and how many appearances they made. That's something I want to do."
Across London, Ashley Cole has spoken to his former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti about a possible move to Paris St Germain, according to another report in the Daily Mail.
The paper cites a French weekly called Le 10 Sport, who claim Ancelotti spoke to the England defender about the club's project and wanted to know Cole's thoughts about a possible transfer to France.
Cole is in the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge and, with the Blues only offering a one-year extension to his current deal, has been linked with a move elsewhere.
Cole's former Arsenal team-mate Robert Pires told Le 10 Sport: "Paris could be interesting for him, at a sporting level and a financial level."
To Liverpool, where manager Brendan Rodgers has said the club must never again be in a position where they have to sell players of the calibre of Fernando Torres.
The Chelsea striker comes face-to-face with his former employers on Sunday and most papers carry the Reds boss's quotes about his determination to hang onto the latest jewel in the club's crown Luis Suarez ahead of the big game.
"Of course, it is hard to compete with the money the big clubs have to spend on the big players," Rodgers said."But we can't just give up because we are not in the same financial league as other clubs. It is up to us to find a way of dealing with that."
Meanwhile Liverpool youngster Raheem Sterling wants a monstrous £50,000 a week to stay at Anfield, according to the Mail.
The 17-year-old starlet is poised to reject an initial offer of a new deal worth in the region of £20,000 a week. Sterling's camp, the paper says, believe he deserves closer to £50,000 a week, putting him in the same bracket as other established first-teamers.
The Guardian reports that Roberto Mancini still has the full backing of Manchester City's Abu Dhabi hierarchy, despite his admission that he was sounded out by Monaco last season and the Italian's recent outburst after the draw with Ajax.
The view of the board, the report says, is "relaxed" and that "they accept, just as any number of City's star players may be of interest to other top clubs, so too is Mancini due to his status as one of the game's elite managers".
To the North-East, where Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is convinced Andy Carroll will return to play for the Magpies some day.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Pardew believes the lure of returning home would be too great for the Liverpool striker, despite his good form during a loan spell with West Ham.
Newcastle are one of a number of clubs to have joined the race to sign Thomas Ince from Blackpool, according to The Sun.
The England U21 midfielder is also wanted by Tottenham but Manchester United are thought to be in pole position to win his signature after his dad Paul met with Alex Ferguson.
Ince Jnr, who is out of contract in the summer, is rated at £8 million.
The suitors of another in-demand midfielder, Adel Taarabt, have been told to forget about signing him.
QPR manager Mark Hughes claims in The Sun that the Moroccan star, who has been in great form since returning from injury, is happy at Loftus Road and has no intention of crossing London and signing for Arsenal.
And finally for today's tabloid tittle tattle, Arsenal's Andrey Arshavin is one of 10 players targeted by Reading as the Royals plan a January splurge.
The Daily Mirror claims Reading owner Anton Zingarevich wants an overhaul of the squad, although manager Brian McDermott believes he can turn things around at the club without such major changes.

Butcher of Serbs Goes FreeJun 30th, 2006 | By De-Construct.net | In Bosnia
Body of Bosnian Serb Milan Vujicic, one of Naser Oric's victims. Milan Vujicic was tortured and mutilated before being killed by Oric's Srebrenica forces who then roasted his corpse.
Naser Oric, the Bosnian Muslim Butcher of Serbs, has walked out smiling and free as a bird from the Kangaroo Court in Hague today.
The Monster was indicted and tried for gruesome crimes committed against Serbian population in Srebrenica and in the villages surrounding Srebrenica, before Serbian troops took the town over. Portrayed by the Dutch UN battalion as "a crook, a robber, a pimp and a murderer," Oric used the Srebrenica "safe haven" status to burn Serb villages and massacre their occupants before quickly withdrawing to the security provided by the UN's safe haven.
According to the general Lewis MacKenzie, the commander of UN peacekeeping forces in Bosnia, "these attacks reached a crescendo in 1994 and carried on into early 1995 after the Canadian infantry company that had been there for a year was replaced by a larger Dutch contingent (…) As the snow cleared in the spring of 1995, it became obvious to Naser Oric, the man who led the Bosnian Muslim fighters, that the Bosnian Serb army was going to attack Srebrenica to stop him from attacking Serb villages. So he and a large number of his fighters slipped out of town. Srebrenica was left undefended with the strategic thought that, if the Serbs attacked an undefended town, surely that would cause NATO and the UN to agree that NATO air strikes against the Serbs were justified."

Although Bosnian Serbs knew all too well about the sadistic slaughterer in Srebrenica who led Bosnian Muslim forces in murderous raids against them, it wasn't until a foreign reporter learned about Oric's crimes that the Hague has shown any interest in prosecuting anyone but Serbs. As early as in 1995, Bill Schiller reported:
Oric is a fearsome man, and proud of it. I met him in January, 1994, in his own home in Serb-surrounded Srebrenica. On a cold and snowy night, I sat in his living room watching a shocking video version of what might have been called Nasir Oric's Greatest Hits. There were burning houses, dead bodies, severed heads, and people fleeing. Oric grinned throughout, admiring his handiwork. "We ambushed them," he said when a number of dead Serbs appeared on the screen. The next sequence of dead bodies had been done in by explosives: "We launched those guys to the moon," he boasted. When footage of a bullet-marked ghost town appeared without any visible bodies, Oric hastened to announce: "We killed 114 Serbs there." Later there were celebrations, with singers with wobbly voices chanting his praises (…) Lately, however, Oric increased his hit-and-run attacks at night (…)
Despite the fact there was ample evidence of Oric's grisly crimes against civilian population during the war in Bosnia available from the mid-nineties, he wasn't indicted until 2003. On the contrary, Naser Oric was enjoying his freedom as the owner of a disco club in Bosnian city of Tuzla right up to his arrest, in April of 2003. Even so, Oric remains the only Srebrenica Muslim indicted by the Hague for the crimes against Serbian civilians.

Apparently, during his mock-trial Oric kept repeating: "Your honours… I am not guilty" and it worked – the "judges" believed him: Oric was acquitted of direct involvement in the murder or cruel treatment of Serbs, and of responsibility for the wanton destruction of entire villages, churches, homes and property. While he was convicted of "failing to prevent men under his command killing and mistreating Bosnian Serb prisoners," and sentenced to two years in jail, he was immediately freed since he has already spent three years in the Hague during the charade of a trial. We can only hope the Kangaroo Court "judges" will follow their historical verdict with a public apology to the ogre and compensate him monetarily for keeping him away from his disco business a year longer, or keeping him away at all.
With that nasty wrinkle successfully ironed out, the road to rewriting history is entirely clear: no one will ever be able to connect the dots or to understand what really happened in and around Srebrenica. Most importantly, the Western responsibility for preventing peace, arming and backing Muslim jihadists in the war against Christian Serbs on the territory of former Yugoslavia in an effort to colonize Balkans, and the criminal bombardment of the undefended country for which no one is even expected to face the trial – all of it is efficiently swept under the carpet, buried and forgotten. That, after all, was the sole purpose of the mockery of justice Hague personifies, as confirmed for the hundred-thousandth time today.

Simplexo Open Source Software Searches Enterprise Databases
British company Simplexo now offers an open source search engine by the same name, targeted for enterprises. It promises cross-enterprise data searches in a mouse click.
The challenge for a search engine encompassing the enterprise market is that the data is available in various formats distributed across multiple locations in enterprise networks. Unstructured and unindexed sources in word-processed, tabular, e-mail, graphic and text data are widely distributed among servers and desktops. Along with these is structured information from databases, personal records, financial bookkeeping, CRM and ERP systems, source trees and other locations. Simplexo intends to solve this problem with its search engine and promises a "single-click" solution in real time.
Before using this tool, the administrator must configure the search. This takes only a few minutes, based on their Product Info page: the administrator inputs the data source for each structured information, enters login details, and specifies the fields to be included in the search. As soon as group privileges are added, the Simplexo tool should start doing its job.
As an API, the J2EE application running under JBoss uses the SOAP protocol. Because the system is browser-based, it is platform-independent. At the same time it is supposed to be highly scalable: according to their claims, it can connect 600,000 concurrent users. Simplexo is also counting on the embedded highly secure Open Source software to satisfy the requirements of the British Ministry of Defense (MoD), MoD-Security Level AES 256.
The software is available as a free download via a web form. Support and an update service from Simplexo are available at a cost. Price and licensing information is still pending.

6 affordable over-the-counter supplements for knee pain relief
September 1, 2015 at 12:00 am in Healthy Living by VN Editors
It may surprise you to learn that several over-the-counter, natural supplements can safely relieve your knee pain as effectively as prescription anti-inflammatory medication. What's more, the two best supplements for treating knee pain are also among the most affordable.
- Glucosamine Glucosamine, one of the most effective supplements you can take to relieve knee pain, is also very affordable and widely available in drugstores and online without a prescription. Produced naturally by the human body and found in and around cartilage cells, glucosamine is believed to be one of the building blocks of cartilage. Glucosamine supplements, made from shellfish, not only maintain joint and knee health but also help repair and rebuild damaged cartilage. It may take up to two months to notice an improvement, but clinical trials indicate that glucosamine supplements may be as effective as prescription anti-inflammatory medications at relieving knee pain — while producing fewer unpleasant side effects. Glucosamine should not be taken by people allergic to shellfish. And, since glucosamine may affect glucose tolerance, diabetics who take it should carefully monitor their blood sugar. Possible side effects include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, heartburn, and flatulence.
- Chondroitin: Chondroitin, a supplement often taken in conjunction with glucosamine, is believed to promote water retention and elasticity in cartilage and to inhibit the enzymes involved in cartilage breakdown. It promotes the healing of the worn articular cartilage in joints, thereby easing the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis. In August of 2004, in an Internet poll conducted by runnersworld.com, 94.5 percent of respondents reported either "somewhat improved" or "greatly improved" knee pain symptoms after taking glucosamine and/or chondroitin. Less than one percent reported that "things got worse" with the supplements. In a meta-analysis of studies done from 1980 to 2002 and published in the July 14,2003 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, "Results demonstrated a highly significant efficacy of glucosamine on all outcomes, — while chondroitin was found [merely] "effective" on several outcome measures. Orthopedic surgeon Robert Erickson agrees that glucosamine is more effective than chondrioitin. Of the two, chondroitin can also more expensive ($15-20 for a two-month supply). So why use chondroitin? Most commercial chondroitin supplements are made from cow or shark cartilage, so it is a good option for people who are allergic to shellfish and therefore unable to tolerate glucosamine. Be aware, however, that chondroitin may not be appropriate for patients on blood thinners. It may also cause minor stomach pain.
- SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine): Like glucosamine and chondroitin, SAMe supplements can be as effective as anti-inflammatory medication at relieving knee pain. However, SAMe takes longer to work and is considerably more expensive ($24 for a one-month supply). It may cause mild upset stomach.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in fish oil, flaxseed oil, and cod liver oil, have anti-inflammatory properties. A study at Cardiff University in Wales showed that regular use over a three-month period significantly reduced the levels of enzymes that cause cartilage to break down. Expect to pay $10 for a one-month supply.
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): MSM helps build cartilage and strengthen connective tissue. Studies have not yet firmly established its effect on knee pain, but researchers believe it is likely to reduce the pain and inflammation of knee osteoarthritis. About $10 for a two-month supply.
- Calcium: Every cell in your body needs calcium and if you don't consume enough, your body will extract it from your bones to keep the amount in your bloodstream constant. A calcium supplement won't hurt and it may strengthen your knees. About $16 for a three-month supply. Of the six supplements on this list, glucosamine has been shown to be the most effective at relieving knee pain. However, you may wish to consider supplements that combine glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM in a single convenient and affordable formula. Just remember to purchase any supplement from a reputable manufacturer and discuss all supplements you take with your doctor to avoid possible interactions with prescription medications or adverse effects on existing medical conditions.

A regular day outfit, from toe to head may consist of:
- Demonia boots (With wrap around straps and zipper to be undone)
- Socks
- Thigh high stockings (and 1 or 2 pairs regular stockings underneath depending on weather or need for fishnet)
- hot pants or bloomers (to prevent regular stockings from sagging as well as modesty)
- garter belt (to hold up thigh high stockings)
- 1 or 2 petticoats and/or tutu
- skirt
- Possible belt (more often for pants)
- spagetti strap shirt (for modesty or extra warmth)
- regular top or blouse
- corset or waist cincher (sometimes both depending on jacket or sweater needing to be cinched)
- coat/jacket/sweater (depending on weather)
- Jewelry (necklace clamps being very hard to undo with sharpen nails)
- Hat depending on mood
- Heavy duty hair accessories (My dreads need large and/or multiple difficult hair pins to maintain an up do)
- Makeup accessories (fake eyelashes, face jewels, excessive glitter, and eyebrow coverings, etc...)
- Oh and underwear of course
|These shoes must be tied, zipped, and that long strap wraps around several times before being buckled
Eventually you get use to it but every now and then you get a lazy day. When I have a lazy day it is extremely noticeable because I end up looking more like a nu-goth (I think that's why I am not a big fan of the hipster goth look; it reminds me to much of when I don't put any effort into what I look like or me on laundry day).
This is just the everyday layers. There are some articles of clothing that I love but I avoid wearing as often because they are to much trouble to put on. For example, ripped fishnet and torn stockings look great, especially over another pair of tights, but because of all the holes it is difficult to put them on with out turning them into pure thread. Putting on regular tights is hard enough with my nails. I have to put them on extra slow to be sure that I do not put any runs in them.
Chains are another piece of clothing i have just stopped wearing all together. You have to hook and drape them like so but manage to not get them caught on tulle or lace and other delicate fabrics. I already have to avoid shredding my clothes with my nails so I often avoid accessories that will do the same.
|This LipService Top is dry clean only that means DO NOT forget to remove the lock before sending it in.
I like to wear shirts with a lot of neck detailing which look great but can be the difference between getting somewhere on time and being late. I could have been out the door sooner if only I did not have to button the two buttons that attach the neck feature on my favorite bat top and tie the ribbon on the front. Normally I spend most of my time tying things. Goth clothing tends to have a lot of ribbon and twine for some odd reason.
|This is my drying rack on an empty day
I have not even gotten into washing and maintaining Gothic clothes. Most of my wardrobe is hand wash/hang dry. I am not really sure how I acquired all this hand wash clothing! Well handmade clothes, corsets, petticoats, and stockings with print make sense but when did shirts become so sensitive to machine wash? My drying rack is constantly running out of room. hand washing and hang drying is good for the environment and saves money but frustrating on days where I forgot to do laundry and have nothing to wear. As much hand washing as I do I find pleasant in comparison to dry cleaning. Dry cleaning can get expensive. Not to mention, every chain, or lock must be removed before sending off my dry cleaning.
All this work to pull off a awfully gorgeous Gothic look. Is it worth it? Hell yes! Sure my clothes are less convenient to wash and put on and remove, but if that is what it takes to get me at my "Gothiest" then I could not be happier.

We look at the top five things that have made Medinah so magical over the years.
What's in a name?
Almost every golf club in the world is named after one of three things: the course location, some striking feature of the local environment or - occasionally - the name of some venerable grandee of the game.
Not Medinah: the course's founders, a group of men from a Masonic organisation called the Shriners, were inspired by the romantic notions of the great eras of the past from across the world. After considering alternatives based around the court of Louis XIV, they settled on naming their new club after the iconic Middle Eastern city - and designed a clubhouse to match, with minarets and colourful tiling straight out of a Hollywood set designer's Arabian Nights fantasy.
The town which later grew up around the club borrowed the same name, making it seem to later generations as if Medinah was just another golf course named after its location. But now you know different.
Hale Irwin's putt
It's June 17 1990, and the final day of the US Open at Medinah after four days of birdies at an uncharacteristically low-scoring US Open. Journeyman pro Mike Donald looks all set to be the last man standing, holding off the challenge of a Nick Faldo at the very peak of his powers as the tournament enters the final few holes.
Up ahead on the 18th, however, something extraordinary is happening. Veteran star Hale Irwin - who was only given a spot as a special favour by the USGA - has launched a far-fetched attempt to come from five shots back on the final day and thus become the oldest ever winner of the tournament.
Irwin arrives at the last looking as if he must make a birdie to have any chance of getting into a play-off, and it seems his hopes have disappeared as his second shot to the 18th leaves him on the far side of the treacherous green, 45ft from the cup. Only a miracle could keep him in the tournament, and he hits his putt almost nonchalantly, with three putts far more likely than one… yet the miracle promptly arrives. The ball tracks the hole all the way before dropping, as it does so detonating an explosion of noise from the crowd watching a 45-year-old re-live his glory days.
Irwin goes bananas, galloping into a lap of honour around the edge of the crowd and high-fiving anyone and everyone in one of the most unforgettable climaxes to a Major championship.
The drama was not yet over, however: a rattled Donald started to lose his swing, but pulled off superb par saves on the 16th and 17th to make it into an 18-hole play-off on the Monday. Donald appeared once again to have ended Irwin's dream as he led by two shots with three to play, but a 2-iron straight at the pin on 16 from Irwin closed the gap to one shot and Donald's par putt on the last slipped by the edge. With the scores tied Irwin then birdied the first sudden-death extra hole to claim the title, and he remains the oldest winner of the US Open.
The brutal start and watery finish
In his first practice round at Medinah ahead of the 1975 US Open, Jack Nicklaus walked up to the 8th tee shaking his head in disbelief. "I can't ever recall playing a course with four par-5s in a row," he said.
Medinah has no such thing, but the long, uphill par-4 4th and 6th holes (the latter of which is over 500 yards) and the par-5 5th and 7th holes (the latter of which is over 600 yards) make this course a proper brute. In 2006 it became - at 7,657 yards - one of the longest courses ever to stage a Major (Kiawah Island last month became the new record-holder at 7,676 yards) and with tree-lined fairways it has always been a slog for all but the best.
It's not just length, though: water comes into play in all but one hole from the 12th to the 17th, a stretch which has decided several Majors at the venue and promises drama aplenty.
While the course is tough, you can expect plenty of birdies. The newly-redesigned par-4 15th, for example, is set to offer players a chance to defy the lake by trying to drive the green, while Davis Love III has personally overseen a widening of fairways and thinning of rough that is designed to get the birdies flowing and the home crowd pumping.
Sergio's sprint up the fairway
On top of that, a new Spanish star was coming through the ranks: Sergio Garcia, an amazing amateur golfer who had turned professional just a few months after shining at the Masters and who had won in just his sixth start as a professional. 'El Niño' was the youngest player in over half a century to even be in the field, but he had led after the opening round and was one off Woods's leading score going into the final round.
Woods pulled clear halfway through the final Sunday, at one stage leading by five shots… but Garcia kept on chipping away and had closed to within a shot when he drove into the trees of the tough 16th.
The next shot made him famous throughout the game: with his ball sitting in among tree roots and over 200 yards from the green he hit a seemingly-suicidal cut shot that curved around the dogleg and scampered up the hill. Garcia had closed his eyes at impact, but chased after his ball and jumped into the air several times like a giddy schoolboy chasing a paper plane, trying to see where it had gone.
The miracle escape shot saw him save par, and even though Woods hung on to win it seemed certain that the game had witnessed the first duel of a classic rivalry. Sadly, it didn't turn out that way: Woods pulled away, with that US PGA title the first in a run of five Major victories in six tournaments. Garcia is still yet to win the Major championship his talent deserves.
Home of the underdogs, and Tiger's favourite hunting ground
Medinah has also been a favourite hunting ground for hot favourites, though, mainly in the form of Tiger Woods. The American is the only man ever to win the US PGA twice at the same venue, and it was at Medinah - in 1999 and 2006 - where he did it.
Woods might be the world number two at the moment, but never has he been more in need of a big performance to prove that he still has great days ahead of him in the very biggest tournaments. Added to his poor Ryder Cup record, Woods is in the unique position of being something of an underdog at a course where he has always excelled. That is ominous news for European fans, and it's something which will add an intriguing extra element this week.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
WEDNESDAY, July 10 (HealthDay News) -- Premature and small babies born to mothers who had preeclampsia during pregnancy are at increased risk for cerebral palsy, but there is no added risk for full-term babies who are normal size, according to a new study.
Preeclampsia is a dangerous condition involving high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It affects 3 percent to 5 percent of pregnant women.
Researchers analyzed data from about 850 children with cerebral palsy and more than 616,000 children without the neurological disorder who were born in Norway between 1996 and 2006, for the study appearing online July 9 in the journal BMJ.
Children who were both born moderately preterm (between 32 and 36 weeks) or very preterm (less than 31 weeks) and whose mothers had preeclampsia had a significantly increased risk of cerebral palsy, if they were also smaller than usual at birth. Babies who were born at full-term and whose mothers had preeclampsia did not have an increased risk of cerebral palsy.
The results were the same after researchers adjusted for factors such as the mother's age, smoking during pregnancy, in vitro fertilization and sex of the child, according to a journal news release.
The findings suggest that doctors should take note of early signs of a smaller-than-average baby in a mother with preeclampsia, said study authors Kirstin Melheim Strand and Torstein Vik.
Although the study linked mother's preeclampsia and babies' prematurity and small size with cerebral palsy, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

The lengths he'll go to to uncover the tooth
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:36 p.m.
For millions of years, much of Florida, including Venice, was under water and prime territory for millions of prehistoric sharks.
Sharks shed as many 35,000 teeth in their lifetimes, leaving billions of teeth that sank to the ocean floor, where they became embedded in minerals and fossilized.
Geological changes, including a jutting land mass that ran from Venice more than 150 miles into the Gulf of Mexico, released the teeth.
While renourishment of Venice Beach has made shark teeth less plentiful, they are abundant offshore. Divers from around the world search what is dubbed "The Venice Boneyard" a mile or so offshore for prized shark teeth and other fossils.
Among the most prized finds are Megalodon teeth, as large as 6 inches, from prehistoric sharks that were 90 feet long.

Work is beginning to stabilize Meridian's Threefoot Building, which is slated to be a high-rise hotel.
In order for renovations to start, crews must first make sure the structure is safe for workers and others.
It's part of the overall project to renovate the Threefoot building. According to the mayor's office, securing the building's facade has become an immediate need.
Officials say there are safety concerns about the potential of bricks falling from the building, damaging nearby structures or injuring pedestrians.
"Definitely, if we don't take the brick down there is a potential that it could fall," said Paul Merritt of Southern Preservation Systems of Snellville, Ga. "What we do is repair old buildings, secure them. This has water problems with the brick veneer coming off of the terracotta back-up wall, which will cause more water to come in and cause more damage."
For the next two months, work will be focused on the corners of the building from the 14th floor down to the 12th floor. You will actually see the crew scaling the building Monday. For now they are securing the building enough to begin work.
"We have been hired to take the brick down, take the terracotta off, secure it and dry it in, so it will be weather tight," Merritt said.
Before he saw the Threefoot Building, Merritt said he imagined the damage to be more severe than it is. He said he he has worked on buildings that date back to the same period and their conditions were much worse. But this, he says, doesn't take away from the importance.
This part of the work will cost the city around $90,000. It was declared an emergency repair by former mayor John Robert Smith, and for that reason, council approval wasn't necessary.

TOPICS Wingnuts
Oh, so NOW the wingnuts are all worried about losing our freedoms
By David Neiwert Saturday May 23, 2009 6:45am
The hallmark of the paranoid, according to Richard Hofstadter, is their propensity for projection: Seeing in others, deservedly or not, their own very worst behaviors and predilections.
Well, we already know that Michelle Malkin is a paranoid, but it's always worth noting when she gives voice to something we're hearing from a whole bunch of right-wing quarters: Barack Obama and the liberals intend to destroy America by taking away our freedoms under the Constitution.
She was on Glenn Beck's show earlier this week (when the LSDM himself was out with The View flu), and told the fill-in host, Judge Napolitano, that "We've lost plenty of our liberties" already under Obama -- indeed, that "every inalienable right -- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" had been diminished under his presidency.
How so? Apparently, the best example she can come up with is "the freedom to innovate" and limiting health-care choices.
Jaysus. These people sat and nodded through eight years of wiretapping, torture, reduced reproductive choices, and constant assaults on our civil liberties.
And now they're shrieking -- which is Malkin's style -- about "drawing the line" at limited doctor selection?
Are they insane?
Wait, don't answer that.
