7. Time
I try to think of what time is and all I can think is . . . "Time is time was."
People say "time on my hands." Well, I looked at my hands and I saw a lot of lines. And then somebody told me that some people don't have lines. I didn't believe her. We were sitting in a restaurant and she said, "How can you say that? Look at that waiter over there!" She called him over, "Honey! Honey? Can you bring me a glass of water?" and when he brought it she grabbed his hand and showed it to me and it had no lines! Just the three main ones. And she said, "See? I told you. Some people like that waiter have no lines." And I thought, "Gee, I wish I was a waiter."
If the lines on your hands are wrinkles, it must mean your hands worry a lot.
Sometimes you're invited to a big ball and for months you think about how glamorous and exciting it's going to be. Then you fly to Europe and you go to the ball and when you think back on it a couple of months later what you remember is maybe the car ride to the ball, you can't remember the ball at all. Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life. I should have been dreaming for months about the car ride to the ball and getting dressed for the car ride, and buying my ticket to Europe so I could take the car ride. Then, who knows, maybe I could have remembered the ball.
Some people decide to be old and then they do exactly what old people are supposed to do. But when they were twenty years old they were doing what twenty-year-olds are supposed to do. And then there are those other people who look twenty all their lives. It's thrilling to see movie stars— since they're more involved in that than most people—who have worked on their beauty, who still have all their energy because they're still working with their young selves.
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer. I think that's what's happening now. Some kids I know personally are staying babies longer.
I was standing on a street in Paris once and this old lady was looking at me, and I thought, "Oh she's probably staring at me because she's English," because English people always know me from a London television disaster that somehow starred me. So I sort of looked away and she said, "Aren't you Andy?" I said yes and she said, "You came to my house in Provincetown twenty-eight and a half years ago. You were wearing a sunhat. You don't even remember me, but I'll never forget you in that sunhat. You see, you couldn't take any sun." I felt so strange because I couldn't remember at all and she remembered to the month. Because to remember "twenty-eight and a half years ago" without even stopping to calculate must mean that she really kept track and would say, "Well it's nineteen years now since he was here in the sunhat." It was very peculiar—her husband was there and they were disagreeing about how long it was. He said, "No no no. We weren't married yet, remember? So it must have been twenty-six and three-quarter years ago."
Some people say Paris is more esthetic than New York. Well, in New York you don't have time to have an esthetic because it takes half the day to go downtown and half the day to go uptown.
Then there's time in the street, when you run into somebody you haven't seen in, say, five years, and you play it ail on one level. When you see each other and you don't even lose a beat, that's when it's the best. You don't say "What have you been doing?"—you don't try to catch up. Maybe you mention that you're on your way to 8th Street to get a frozen custard and maybe they mention which movie they're on their way to see, but that's it. Just a casual check-in. Very light, cool, off-hand, very American. Nobody's fazed, nobody's thrown out of time, nobody gets hysterical, nobody loses a beat. That's when it's good. And then when somebody asks you whatever happened to so-and-so you just say, "Yes, I saw him having a malted on 53rd Street." Just play it all on one level, like everything was yesterday.
I think I'm missing some chemicals and that's why I have this tendency to be more of a—mama's boy. A—sissy. No, a mama's boy. A "butterboy." I think I'm missing some responsibility chemicals and some reproductive chemicals. If I had them I would probably think more about aging the right way and being married four times and having a family—wives and children and dogs. I'm immature, but maybe something could happen to my chemicals and I could get mature. I could start getting wrinkles and stop wearing my wings.
They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, "So what." That's one of my favorite things to say. "So what."
"My mother didn't love me." So what.
"My husband won't ball me." So what.
"I'm a success but I'm still alone." So what.
I don't know how I made it through all the years before I learned how to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it, but once you do, you never forget.
What makes a person spend time being sad when they could be happy? I was in the Far East and I was walking down a path and there was a big happy party going on, and actually they were burning a person to death. They were having a party and they were happy, singing and dancing.
Then the other day I was on the Bowery and a person in a flophouse jumped out of the window and died, and a crowd went around the body, and then a bum staggered over and said, "Did you see the comedy across the street?"
I'm not saying you should be happy when a person dies, but just that it's curious to see cases that prove you don't have to be sad about it, depending on what you think it means, and what you think about what you think it means.
A person can cry or laugh. Always when you're crying you could be laughing, you have the choice. Crazy people know how to do this best because their minds are loose. So you can take the flexibility your mind is capable of and make it work for you. You decide what you want to do and how you want to spend your time. Remember, though, that I think I'm missing some chemicals, so it's easier for me than for a person who has a lot of responsibility chemicals, but the same principle could still be applied in a lot of instances.
At the end of my time, when I die, I don't want to leave any leftovers. And I don't want to be a leftover. I was watching TV this week and I saw a lady go into a ray machine and disappear. That was wonderful, because matter is energy and she just dispersed. That could be a really American invention, the best American invention—to be able to disappear. I mean, that way they couldn't say you died, they couldn't say you were murdered, they couldn't say you committed suicide over somebody.
The worst thing that could happen to you after the end of your time would be to be embalmed and laid up in a pyramid. I'm repulsed when I think about the Egyptians taking each organ and embalming it separately in its own receptacle. I want my machinery to disappear.
Still, I do really like the idea of people turning into sand or something, so the machinery keeps working after you die. I guess disappearing would be shirking work that your machinery still had left to do. Since I believe in work, I guess I shouldn't think about disappearing when I die. And anyway, it would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a big ring on Pauline de Rothschild's finger.
I really do live for the future, because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece. I don't even taste any of the other pieces, I just want to finish and throw the box away and not have to have it on my mind any more.
I would rather either have it now or know I'll never have it so I don't have to think about it.
That's why some days I wish I were very very old-looking so I wouldn't have to think about getting old-looking.
I really look awful, and I never bother to primp up or try to be appealing because I just don't want anyone to get involved with me. And that's the truth. I play down my good features and play up the bad ones. So I look awful and I wear the wrong pants and the wrong shoes and I come at the wrong time with the wrong friends, and I say the wrong things and I talk to the wrong person, and then still sometimes somebody gets interested and I freak out and I wonder, "What did I do wrong?" So then I go home and try to figure it out. "Well I must be wearing something that somebody thinks is attractive. I'd better change it. Before things get too far. So I go over to my three-way mirror and I study myself and I see that I have fifteen new pimples on my face and ordinarily that should have stopped them. So I think, "How weird. I know I look bad. I made myself look especially bad— especially wrong—because I knew a lot of the right people would be there, and still someone somehow got interested . . . " Then I start to panic because I think I don't know what's attractive that I should eliminate before it starts causing me any more trouble. You see, to get to know one more person is just too hard, because each new person takes up more time and space. The way to keep some of your time to yourself is to maintain yourself so unattractively that nobody else is interested in any of it
I look at professional people like comedians in nightclubs, and I'm always impressed with their perfect timing, but I could never understand how they can bear to say exactly the same thing all the time. Then I realized what's the difference, because you're always repeating your same things all the time anyway, whether or not somebody asks you or it's your job. You're usually making the same mistakes. You apply your usual mistakes to every new category or field you go into.
Whenever I'm interested in something, I know the timing's off, because I'm always interested in the right thing at the wrong time. I should just be getting interested after I'm not interested any more, because right after I'm embarrassed to still be thinking about a certain idea, that's when the idea is just about to make somebody a few million dollars. My same good mistakes.
I learned something about time when I used to have to go around New York and see people by appointment in their offices. Somebody would give me an appointment at ten o'clock, so I'd beat my brains out to get there at exactly ten, and I would get there and they wouldn't see me until five minutes to one. So when you go through this a hundred times and you hear, "Ten o'clock?" you say, "Weeeellll, that sounds funny, I think I'll show up at five minutes to one." So I used to show up at five minutes to one and it always worked. That's when I would see the person. So I learned. It was like being a laboratory rat and they put you through all those tests and you get rewarded when you do it right, and when you do it wrong you're kicked back, so you learn. So I learned when people would be around.
The only time my system didn't work was with Liz Taylor. I was in Rome appearing in a movie with her and for a week every day she was hours late for shooting, and finally I thought, "Well listen, let's just take our time tomorrow and not get up at six-thirty." So that day she got there before everybody else. She was there before the wardrobe lady and the key grip. She practically had the coffee perking. She really keeps you on your toes. She did the same thing I did, in reverse, and I was thrown off because I didn't know her well enough to predict her. Liz Taylor, in being late fifty times and then early once, must be applying the same principle that I do by having my hair gray so when I do something with a normal amount of energy it seems "young." Liz Taylor when she's on time seems "early." It's like you get a new talent all of a sudden by being so bad at something for so long, and then suddenly one day being not quite so bad.
I like the idea that people in New York now have to wait in line for movies. You go by so many theaters where there are long, long lines. But nobody looks unhappy about it. It costs so much money just to live now, and if you're on a date, you can spend your whole date time in line, and that way it saves you money because you don't have to think of other things to do while you're waiting and you get to know your person, and you suffer a little together, and then you're entertained for two hours. So you've gotten very close, you've shared a complete experience. And the idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting anyway. Never getting in is the most exciting, but after that waiting to get in is the most exciting.
If I only had time for one vacation every ten years I still don't think I'd want to go anywhere. I'd probably just go to my room, fluff up the pillow, turn on a couple of TVs, open a box of Ritz crackers, break the seal on a box of Russell Stovers, sit down with the latest issue of every magazine except TV Guide from the corner newsstand, then pick up the phone and call everybody I know to ask them to look in their TV Guides to tell me what's on, what's been on, what's going to be on. I also enjoy rereading the newspaper. Especially in Paris. I can't reread the international Herald Tribune enough when I'm in Paris. I love to while away the hours while other people do their meanwhiles, as long as they call in to report. In my room, time moves so slowly for me, it's only outside that everything is happening so fast.
I don't like to travel, because I really like slow time and for a plane you have to leave three or four hours ahead of time, so that's a day right there. If you really want your life to pass like a movie in front of you, just travel, you can forget your life.
I like a rut. People call me up and say, "I hope I'm not disturbing your rut, calling you up like this." They know how much I like it.
One mistake I make time after time is not following the Golden Rule: I hold elevators. Also, even though I try to throw things away and simplify my life, I palm things off on other people.
What makes a movie fast is when you see it, and then when you see it a second time it goes really fast. If you really want to suffer, go see something and then go see it again. You'll see that your suffering goes by quicker the second time.
I can see a murder mystery one night, and then see it a second time the next night and still not know who did it until the very last minute. So I know there's something really
wrong with me. I mean, if I can sit there and watch another Thin Man and watch it again the next night, and still not know who the murderer is again until the very last minute . . . And I'll be just as curious and just as on-the-edge-of-my-chair waiting to find out, and just as shocked as I was the night before. If I've seen it fifteen times, then maybe one time out of the fifteen it'll come back to me and I might get a glimmer of who did it. I guess time is actually the best plot— the suspense of seeing if you'll remember.
Digital clocks and watches really show me that there's a new time on my hand. And it's sort of frightening. Somebody has thought of a new way to show time, so I guess we won't be saying one "o'clock" too much longer, because that's "of the clock" or "by the clock" and there won't be any more clocks: it'll be "one time" instead of "one o'clock" and "three-thirty time" and "four-forty-five time."
When I was little and I was sick a lot, those sick times were like little intermissions. Innermissions. Playing with dolls.
I never used to cut out my cut-out dolls. Some people who've worked with me might suggest that I had someone else cut them out for me, but really the reason I didn't cut them out was that I didn't want to ruin the nice pages they were on. I always left my cut-out dolls in my cut-out books.

Kristin Guellmar and other students in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals have been described as "adventuresome."
Through the program, U.S. students travel to Germany and German students come here for a year. The students attend school, work in their career field of interest, and participate in community service activities. County College of Morris has hosted 28 students through this program over the past 13 years.
Guellmar, 22, from Nordhausen, is the most recent participant. She is attending the college while working part time for Random House Value Publishing in New York. In addition, Guellmar got a view of American politics by working for the Republican Party in Morristown during the recent election campaigns.
The program was started about 15 years ago to provide a way for non-university students (Germany has an outstanding vocational education program) to have the same junior year abroad program that university students have, said Sara Pfaffenroth, coordinator of international studies at the colleges.
"So they made a deal with the U.S. government to find similar American students and create an exchange. In the U.S., this means that most of the students come from community colleges," Pfaffenroth said.
College Assistance
Pfaffenroth works with the students involved in the program. She said that in past years the college has had five of its students participate in the program and 28 German students have come here.
The college assists students in filling out a complex application, gives them practice interviews and provides a short orientation to German culture. The college is responsible for getting the visiting German students into classes in their field of interest, finding host families and steering them toward job interviews with appropriate companies.
"Also, I try to introduce them to some American groups and organizations so that they can start to have a social life," said Pfaffenroth.
During her year here, Guellmar is staying with Tom and Donna Margetts in Morristown. The Margetts have acted as a host family for the program for many years.
"They're like a new addition, a member of the family,"said Tom Margetts. "We keep in touch with almost all of them."
Margetts said the program is a "terrific experience" for the students. He said it is particularly valuable for students to work here in the same line of work that they do in Germany.
Guellmar's line of work and study is publishing. Before coming here this past summer, she had finished an apprenticeship with the advertising department of a daily newspaper. Her current assignment at Random House includes organizing and attending meetings involving design for book covers and which books to reprint.
She also attends sales meeting and gets involved in other activities. At the college, her classes include journalism.
Political Experience
In addition to school and work, the exchange program requires students to complete a number of hours of community service. For her contribution, Guellmar worked for the Republican Party in Morristown in the fall. In her own country, she is the chairperson of a political youth organization.
Margetts said she is very interested in politics and American government. While her job at the Republican Party office consisted mostly of things like handing out bumper stickers and answering phones, she did have some observations on the recent presidential election.
"It was a little surprising," Guellmar said.
She said she received calls from friends in Germany who would ask, "The Americans still have no president?"
Guellmar said one thing that particularly surprised her and her friends in Germany was that a country such as the U.S., which is viewed as technologically advanced, was hand-counting votes.
She said another contrast with her homeland is that Germany has a voting deadline. All votes most be counted by 10 p.m. of election day. So, Guellmar thought it was strange to see an election drag on for five to six weeks.
With all that she's done so far in the program, Guellmar said the best thing about it has been living with the Margetts.
"I have a really nice host family," she said.
Guellmar hails from a small family so to be around the Margetts and their family and their extended family of former exchange students, has given her the chance to experience being part of a large family.
The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals program offers an experience that Guellmar said she will never forget. For information on the program, visit the web site: www.cdsintl.org/cbyxeintro.html.

James, I would recommend you talk to the guys at Spoon. While we haven't ramped up to do Flex Camps yet, we are in the process of kicking off a roadshow that may help you out. Keith is the guy you should be talking to ( email@example.com). He has been coordinating all of the Spoon UG efforts to date. -Nick On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 8:45 AM, James Roland Cabresos <email@example.com > wrote: > Yes I am a user group manager.

Mr. COBURN. I thank Senator McCain. I think America looks at us and says: Here it is, a week before Christmas, and we are debating the Defense appropriations bill, but it is interesting to note that the first appropriations bill that passed out of the Congress was the bill to fund us.
We put us first. We didn't put our troops first. We didn't put the Department of Defense first. We have had no inflation this year, and what did we do? We gave ourselves a 5.8-percent increase. The first appropriations bill to be passed and signed by the President. We put us first.
So here we find ourselves a week before Christmas debating the Defense bill, while we are in the midst of two wars, and there is an increase of only 4 percent. Yet we have all these people who say they are for Defense. We pass a bill that increases our own expenses by 5.8 percent and then we tell the Defense Department: You can't do that. You can't have what we have.
The fact is, it is easy to return 15 percent of everything you take in up here, in what you are allotted. I have done it, on average, every year I have been here. My employees are well paid. They work hard, but they are well paid. So we gave ourselves a 5.8-percent increase, but this Defense Department bill, in the middle of two wars, has a 4-percent increase.
That is not the worst of it because the average of all the increases right now is almost 11 percent on all the rest of the bills and here they are. That doesn't include any of the spending for each of these agencies--which averaged around 30 percent of their budget--that they got in the stimulus bill. Here we go: We give ourselves a 5.8-percent increase; Homeland Security, 7.2 percent; T-HUD, 23 percent; Interior, 16 percent; State and Foreign Ops, 33 percent. We did ours first to make sure we got us covered.
All of this is very ironic to me, based on the fact that out of every dollar we spend this year, 43 cents of it is borrowed. Of every dollar the Federal Government spends, 43 cents out of that dollar is borrowed. We are borrowing $4.2 billion a day. That is not every business day, that is every day of the week. There is $350 billion to $380 billion worth of waste in the Federal Government. Yet not one place in any of these bills do we eliminate duplicative services; not one place in any of these bills did we eliminate fraud; not one place in any of these bills did we cut the value of earmarks--though the number is down, only slightly, but the total dollar is up.
We made no attempt to do what every family in America is doing today; that is, to prioritize. Next year, it is going to be 45 cents of every dollar the Federal Government spends we are going to borrow. Why is that important? It is important because the people making the decisions to borrow the money are not the ones who will have to pay it back. We are going to transfer that. We are going to violate the tradition and heritage of our country because we are going to transfer a markedly lower standard of living to our children.
I met this little girl. She is from Maryland. Her name is Madelyn. If you divide the total debt by the total population--just the debt we owe now--and that is truly Enron accounting because it doesn't count the internal debt we owe or money we borrowed from Medicare, money we borrowed from Social Security, and other transfer funds--it equals $38,375. That is what it was when this picture was taken. It is well over $39,000 for every man, woman, and child, and that is just on external debt. The only thing she owns is a dollhouse.
The real tragedy is, when Madelyn is 45, everybody her age and younger will be responsible for $1.19 million worth of debt and over $70,000 worth of interest per year before they pay any other taxes, before they buy themselves a home or an automobile or before they send their kids to school. They will be $1.19 million in debt, plus combined unfunded liabilities.
This is the U.S. debt clock. It sits in the doorway of my office in the Russell Building. I had it out in the hall, but the Rules Committee would not allow people to look at that. I don't know whether they didn't want them to see it or it truly doesn't fit with protocol. Now I have a door open in my office and I have this on the live computer screen and it changes every day.
It is pretty interesting. This was as of November 21. So, November 21 to December 18, that is 27 days, we have borrowed another $100 billion since we took this picture off the Internet. We are at $12.118 trillion. Calendar year to date, the Federal Government had spent $3.285 trillion. The debt per citizen on the 21st was $39,000 and, per taxpayer, it was $110,000. Our deficit as of November 1, for the calendar year, was $1.409 trillion--all of it borrowed.
The private debt in the country is $16 trillion. That is our private debt. That is what all of us owe on our own stuff. The mortgage debt is $14 trillion.
If you look at the second screen that is outside my office, what you see is the total cost of the bailout so far--$11 trillion. We only have personal savings of $643 billion. Our savings per adult is less than $3,000. How do you take that $3,000 against the $39,000 and make any sense out of it?
The final screen shows the personal individual debt, the credit card debt, and the payment debt. It also shows our GDP. We are good as a nation. Our workers are good. We produce $91,000 worth of product per person every year. That is going to decline because of what the Federal Government is doing.
There was a guy once named Cicero and he warned of some things that were happening in one of the best known and most successful republics in the world. It happened to be Rome. Here is what he said. ``The budget should be balanced.'' I think 90 percent of America would agree with that:
The Treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
They didn't listen to Cicero, much like the Senate is not listening to the
citizens of this country and we are growing a Federal Government we cannot afford, outside the bounds of what this document, the U.S. Constitution, says is our legitimate role. If you go to it and look at article I, section 8, you see the enumerated powers and you go look at the 10th amendment and ask: How in the world is the Federal Government involved in all these things?
We have before us a bill to fund our troops and fighting two wars. Other than one other appropriations bill, we gave it the smallest increase.
By the way, in this bill is $18 billion of what we call emergency so we do not have to play inside the budget. We automatically transferred another $18 billion to Madelyn and her generation.
How do we get out of this? What do we do? We actually, in Congress, should be following the lead of the families in this country. What are families doing? Families are sitting down and making priorities. They are saying what are the things we must do? What are the things we want to do? What are the things we would like to do? Most of the ``What are the things we would like to do?'' are going out of the window for American families today. A large portion of the things families want to do is going out the window so they can maintain the things they must do. It is called making hard choices.
When you see that the Congress took care of itself before it took care of anybody else, it describes the problem in Washington. We are absolutely clueless as to what the average American is going through. We could have all the words on this Senate floor said that we want to say, but our actions speak far louder than any words we could ever say. What are our actions? Our actions are to steal the future and prosperity of our children. It is not a very noble cause.
We are here this week not because of the Defense Department bill. We are not here the week before Christmas because of this bill. We are here the week before Christmas because somebody has set an artificial deadline that we must pass a health care bill, any health care bill, so we can say we passed a health care bill. That is why we are here. When we look at health care in our country, we recognize that we have significant problems in making sure everybody has access to care. We know what the problem is on access to care because we know per capita we spend almost twice as much as anybody else in the world on health care. The problem plaguing access to care--and as a practicing physician for over 25 years--is cost.
We have some bill coming sometime that will not be available for 72 hours for everybody in the country to read, that by the time you add the 2,074 pages to the couple of hundred pages we are going to add on, nobody is going to understand exactly what they are voting on. But we are going to vote on it because we said we would. We are going to impact one-sixth of our economy and we are going to destroy the best of our health care system in the name of fixing some of the problems in our system.
We are totally disconnected with America, the America I know. There was a guy who said--I will paraphrase the statement:
Freedom is a precious thing. It is not ours by inheritance alone. It must be fought for and defended by each and every successive generation.
What is that freedom he is talking about and who was he talking to? He was talking to the American people. He wasn't talking to our troops. The freedom he was talking about was the liberty that comes when free people come together under a democratic Republic with a limited Federal Government to make the best choices they can make for themselves and their families, and the freedom to do just that. That person was Ronald Reagan.
I got an e-mail from a constituent of mine. I can't use the exact words because they are not appropriate for the Senate floor. But he kind of paraphrased that statement and then he said: Every now and then somebody comes along and pees it all away. He said: Son, don't let it be you.
Our freedom is being taken away in this country--not intentionally but unintentionally. Because as the Federal Government grows and expands, your opportunity to make choices for yourself and your family become limited. We have a health care bill that is going to spend $2.5 trillion over the next 10 years. It is going to cause premiums to rise, it is going to cause quality of care to go down, it is going to cause us to lose 1.6 million more jobs, and it is going to involve the Government between the patient and the caregiver. That bill will create 70 new government programs, 15,000 to 20,000 new Federal employees. It will create three panels that will ration care in this country directly. And it will in fact take Americans'--not just Americans on Medicare or Medicaid--Americans' freedom to make the best decision for them and their family as regard to their health care and stuff it in a box.
That is because we are going to tell you what you can have, what you can buy. We are going to totally disregard the art of medicine and we are going to practice cookbook medicine in this country.
A week ago we reversed the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation on breast cancer screening. We are going to have to do that hundreds of times every year under the bill that is being proposed right now because all of that is based on cost estimates. It was based on 1 out of every 1,970 women they find a breast cancer in between 40 and 50; but what people didn't say is in 1 out of 1,400 women between 50 and 60 they find a cancer. So on a cost basis they are right; on a clinical basis they are not.
The majority whip earlier today said the Republicans didn't have any ideas on health care. The fact is we do have ideas on health care. What we know from a Thomson Reuters study that came out in April of this year is that there is $700 billion in our system today that is not helping anybody get well and isn't preventing anybody from getting sick. If we want to truly cut the cost of health care, what ought to be required reading for every Senator in this body is the Thomson Reuters report. Because they can go through the fraud and abuse--19 percent of everything we spend. Unwarranted use--that includes me as a doctor doing tests I should not be doing. That includes defensive medicine, administrative inefficiencies, provider inefficiency and errors, avoidable care and lack of care coordination--duplication.
We have not attacked the disease of runaway health care costs in this country. What we have attacked is the symptoms. You do not cure people by treating their symptoms. You cure people by finding out what their disease is and curing the disease and treating the disease.
We are accused of being the party of ``no.'' I want to tell my colleagues and the American public, ``no'' is a wonderful word. When your child is misbehaving, you say ``no.'' When your adolescent child is making bad judgments, you say ``no.'' When somebody is stealing something from somebody else, i.e. liberty, you say ``no.'' When you are stealing the future, in terms of opportunity, we should say ``no.'' When you are creating a government-centric health care system rather than a patient-centric health care system, ``no'' is a great word.
We have heard all about why we do not have any ideas. We had two markups. The ideas we offered were rejected.
I see Senator Wyden on the floor. He has a wonderful health care bill. It is somewhat different than the one I introduced but it is a great bill. It does not fall into any of the traps the bill that is on the floor today falls into. It also addresses many of the problems that are outlined in the Thomson Reuters study on health care in America.
Saying ``no'' at the right time saves lives. Saying ``no'' at the right time saves money. Saying ``no'' at the proper time preserves our future. Saying ``no'' when no is the best answer is the correct, right thing to do.
We have a government we cannot afford.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time of the Senator has expired.
Mr. COBURN. I ask unanimous consent for 30 seconds.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. COBURN. We have a government we cannot afford. We are borrowing money to buy things we do not need. We earmarked $18 billion worth of projects this year. Some were good and some were terrible.
We eliminated no duplication in any agencies. We got rid of none of the fraud. We did nothing about efficiency, and we did nothing about creating priorities. I agree with my Democratic colleagues that health care should be a priority. When we had the leadership, we didn't do anything with it, and we should have. But mark my words, this is a turning point in America if we pass this health care bill. It is a turning point from which we will not recover.
I yield the floor.

There has been huge levity in the media in the UK and elsewhere about a poll which went badly wrong. Not the EU referendum (yet), but an attempt by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), which asked the general public to suggest an inspirational name for their new £200m research ship, soon to begin construction on the Mersey.
The well-meaning sincerity of the NERC, which clearly assumed that the name of some great polar explorer, scientific researcher, or even prominent environmental pioneer would emerge, sadly fell flat on its face.
Cialis Side Effects is just such as any other medication but do not necessity to worry and believe that all is bad. There is nothing surprising in this. All is simple and clear.

One of the most important duties I have serving as your Governor is to provide you directly with updates related to the operation of our state government. I also frequently provide updates on Facebook (Governor Scott Walker) and Twitter (@govwalker). Please feel free to share this update with your family, friends, and others who may be interested in state government operations.
Budget Update
During the last two weeks, the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) hosted three of four public hearings on the biennial 2013-2015 budget. After the public hearings are concluded, the Committee will make their recommendations and the budget will move to the Legislature. Both houses must pass the same version of the budget before it can come to my desk for final approval.
Public hearings are an important part of the budget process. The first hearing was hosted at Greendale High School in Greendale, WI, and 262 people took the opportunity to testify. A wide range of topics were discussed including residency requirements for Milwaukee, school choice, and issues specific to southeastern Wisconsin.
The second hearing was held at Lambeau Field in Green Bay and the main topic of discussion was school choice. You can learn more about the proposals for school choice here. Again, there was a large turnout and individuals were able to voice their opinions for and against different proposals in the budget. Wisconsin Dells held the third hearing at the Kalahari Resort and the proposal for DNA at the time of arrest was among the issues that were discussed.
The importance of these public discussions cannot be underestimated. The "Talk with Walker" sessions I held last winter greatly helped with shaping the budget, and I would like to thank all those who came out to register their opinions at the legislature's hearings.
The JFC is a 16-member committee made up of members from both the State Senate and State Assembly. The final public hearing will be held on April 18th at 10 a.m. at Baldwin-Woodville High School in Baldwin, WI.
China Preview
Today, I am embarking on a trade mission to China that will take place from April 13-21. I am excited to travel there and have the opportunity to discuss export and investment opportunities. During the visit, there will be business meetings in Beijing, Shanghai, and Harbin. The delegation from Wisconsin is a total of 36 individuals, including representatives from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), and more than 20 business leaders from Wisconsin businesses.
China is an important and viable market for Wisconsin exports including industrial machinery, medical equipment, clean energy and clean water technologies, and agricultural products. China is Wisconsin's third largest export market. In 2012, exports to China increased by 11.8 percent to $1.5 billion.
In addition, I will participate in the China-US Governors Forum taking place in Beijing and sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
Learn more about the China mission trip online at www.inwisconsin.com/chinamission2013 or follow on Twitter at #WIGovChinaTrade for updates on the trip.
It has been a pleasure communicating with you. It is an honor to serve as your Governor and represent the residents of Wisconsin.
Governor Scott Walker

Tumors often have DNA repair defects, suggesting additional inhibition of other DNA repair pathways in tumors may lead to synthetic lethality. Accumulating data demonstrate that DNA repair-defective tumors, in particular homologous recombination (HR), are highly sensitive to DNA-damaging agents. Thus, HR-defective tumors exhibit potential vulnerability to the synthetic lethality approach, which may lead to new therapeutic strategies. It is well known that poly (adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors show the synthetically lethal effect in tumors defective in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes encoded proteins that are required for efficient HR. In this review, we summarize the strategies of targeting DNA repair pathways and other DNA metabolic functions to cause synthetic lethality in HR-defective tumor cells.

The Packers thought they were getting a much-needed pass rusher when they selected Reynolds out of Florida State with the 10th overall pick in 2001. Reynolds was bothered by a knee injury his first two seasons but was ineffective even when healthy last year and was deactivated for 11 games.
Altogether, he recorded just 17 tackles and three sacks in 18 games over three seasons.
Reynolds, who has two years left on his contract, showed slight improvement during two minicamps this offseason, displaying more quickness off the line and an ability to beat inexperienced offensive tackles in one-on-one drills.
But that wasn't enough to extend his stay in Green Bay.
By trading Reynolds, due a $217,250 roster bonus on July 15, the Packers will take a $663,750 hit on this year's salary cap but will write him off their books for next year.
"We are taking our medicine this year," said Packers chief negotiator Andrew Brandt.
He declined "out of respect to the Colts" to reveal the year or round of the pick the Colts gave up or even to say whether it was conditional on Reynolds' performance in Indianapolis.
Few people in the NFL expected the Packers to get any compensation for Reynolds. Had he been released this month and claimed by another team, the Packers would have taken the same salary-cap hit as they did with the trade. This way, at least they got a draft pick in return.
Brandt and Colts president Bill Polian first discussed a trade last month, when they served together on a panel discussion at Stanford University on contract negotiations and salary-cap management.
Although Reynolds was a bust in Green Bay, he's still young and relatively cheap.
At the Packers' minicamp last month, Reynolds insisted he still could be a star in the NFL if he could just get more playing time.
"I never doubt my ability," Reynolds said at the time. "I know what I can do and I've been great on every level, so I don't see any reason I shouldn't be great on this level. And I know I will be — it just hasn't happened yet.
"Some people are late bloomers and some people start off early. It's just happening a little later for me. But eventually it's going to happen for me."

Around 90 percent of the bottling plants for drinking water across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are in violation of the hygiene rules while the workers employed in these plants are untrained. These allegations come from a member of the consumer protection association. Member of the Al Ahsa Municipal Community, Haji Al Nujaidy stated that a study conducted in the Saudi universities has revealed that 70 percent of all the diseases which included rashes, gout, kidney stones and blood diseases are mainly caused by drinking contaminated water. He has urged all of the local municipalities and the ministries of health and water to fix the usage period for the water filters.
Safety Measures to avoid Contaminated Bottled Water
- These filters are not supposed to filter water above 20,000 liters of water.
- He also stated that the water trucks should be forcibly fitted with non-corrosive pipes. The drivers of these water trucks should always carry the health certificate while their tanks should be routinely checked for fitness after every 3 months.
- The fitness certificate should also be kept in the front of the vehicle.
- He added that they should also be displaying the emblem of their plant as well as their phone number on the outside of the vehicle.
- He further stated that all of the bottling plants for drinking water should be following the environmental protection and hygiene regulations. They should also meet the sterilization, storage, filtering and filling conditions.
- All of the equipment should also be made to undergo timely maintenance and all the tanks should be sterilized with the help of infrared rays after every four months.
- The plant itself cannot have an area smaller than 1200 square meters.
Several studies have indicated that around 50 percent of the bottling plants are not in compliance with the standards. The concerned authorities have closed down an astonishing 7 percent of the total bottling plants and have asked their owners to correct their shortcomings. However several of these plants simply resumed operations without any amendment. Around 24 percent of the samples taken from these plants were contaminated with E.Coli while 16 percent had decal coliform bacteria. The citizens of Saudi Arabia have called upon a strict enforcement of the rules and regulations on these bottling plants in order to prevent the spread of disease and ensuring better quality of water. Mushabbib Al Qahtani warned against the dangers of consuming water supplied by non corrosive pipes, saying they spread disease amongst the users.
Yousuf Al Ghamdi stated that most of the workers in this particular field are not even qualified to distribute water in a hygienic or healthy way. The spokesman of the eastern province municipality and the director of public relations, Mohammed Al Sufyan stated that the licenses for running these plants are issued by the respective municipalities after checking for the hygienic conditions of the facility. The desalination plants provide a list of certified and authorized distributors. These plants should be informing the authorities if any of the distributors stop dealing with them and subsequently start their own business operation.

Cinnamon Nut Peach Cobbler
Nelda Carnley
Peach cobbler is favorite for us but I wanted to do something a different with it, give it just a little pazazz. I don't know if I will be cooking peach cobbler any other way now that I have ate it with cinnamon and nuts. You can double the recipe and bake it in a lager dish, I just wanted to cook enough for my husband and me so I only made an 8" square dish. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
