Poll of Poles against US shield plan. Majority against.

clipped from www.reuters.com More than half of Poles oppose the location of part of a U.S. anti-missile shield on Polish soil, a poll showed on Tuesday, a day after the Polish president said the project was a foregone conclusion. Majority of Poles against U.S. shield plan: poll Tue Jul 17, 2007 1 of 1Full Size WARSAW Pollster CBOS said 55 percent of those surveyed opposed the anti-missile shield plans, while 28 percent had no objections. "Poland has agreed on the anti-missile shield location without negotiating," SLD deputy Jolanta Szymanek was quoted as saying by PAP news agency.

The Polish parliament must approve the plan to host the missile interceptors before the project can go forward. Securing parliamentary approval could be difficult, however, as one of the ruling coalition's junior partners, the far-right League of Polish Families (LPR), opposes the shield plan.

An opposition party, the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), has said the Polish government's tentative agreement to the project, without revealing what Poland would get in return, demonstrates "a disregard for public opinion and Parliament".

clipped from www.youtube.com Time-lapse video filmed in Antarctica, in and around McMurdo Station and Scott Base. Each year the sun is below the horizon for 4 months in the middle of winter, and above the horizon for 4 months in summer. During the couple of months in between we have more-or-less normal days. Includes shots of auroras and the very rare polar stratospheric nacreous clouds, which form when ozone depleting gases crystallize in the upper atmosphere in the intense cold. Summer population is about 1200 people, winter about 200.

Look at what the American Diabetes Association is spoon-feeding people with diabetes: sugar. Not to worry: We've got the solution right here Walking Out Cured It's a wonder no one has tried to have Mary Vernon's medical license revoked. Since 1999, the 52-year-old family doctor has been treating diabetic patients in Lawrence, Kansas, with an approach that was abandoned by most physicians in the 1930s. Worse, this Depression-era remedy is the opposite of the current guidelines established by the American Diabetes Association, a nonprofit organization that spent nearly $51 million on research in 2005, and so should know a thing or two about how to handle diabetes.
