It takes a long time to really get to that point. 216 years ago, i guess, is when turkey as a nation started that climb, at the end of the ottoman empire. You had the big movements of what they call social reform. We will leave the tail end of this event to go live to a discussion on how the zika virus is affecting Womens Health care in the u. S.

Director Michael Hayden provides an inside look at National Security. Hes interviewed by james woolsey, former cia director in the clinton administration. Host mike, first of all very fine book. Enjoyed a lot. Going to start right off with a couple of interesting chapters in the middle. One about pittsburgh and her history of growing up there in the same neighborhood. And the other about your family and what its like to have a family in the midst of espionage. I thought you might want to say a word about those before we jump into things like metadata and the rest is the first of all, and you. I didnt have a chapter on me in the book i had the manuscript and the publisher says what about you . So i went ahead and put one together. As you suggest i put it near the end.

Could right the ship. Hell reveal. But first the Troubling Development in the market today and that is biotech falling hard. And here is the worrisome part. News, and the ibb tumbling 1 on the day. But it wasnt just biotech. Take a look at names like facebook, amazon, netflix and nike. Starbucks getting tsh hit hard. As we head into the end of the year, what do you see . The biotech index, the ibb, trading up to 400. The move down to 1060 and when it broke through tim said there is a good chance we could see 285. And we saw that. To answer your question.
