Rangers Football Club has entered administration - meaning it has been docked 10 points, effectively ending its Scottish Premier League challenge.

The club appointed London firm Duff and Phelps as administrators at 14:50.

The move followed an unsuccessful legal bid by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the Court of Session in Edinburgh to appoint its own administrator.

HMRC lodged its petition over alleged non-payment of about £9m in PAYE and VAT following Craig Whyte's takeover.

Italian prosecutors have launched an appeal against the acquittals of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the 2007 murder of Briton Meredith Kercher.

The pair's convictions for murdering Miss Kercher in Perugia were overturned in appeal court last year.

A jury cleared American Miss Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend after doubts about the gathering of DNA evidence.

Republicans were elected in 2010, in large part, by promising to focus on nothing but jobs, jobs, jobs. Since then, they've focused on pretty much everything but jobs--NPR, Planned Parenthood, ACORN, bailouts, those New Black Panther dudes, earmarks, birth certificates, light bulbs, and now, of course, birth control. You get the idea.

It was hard for Republicans to talk about jobs when no one had them and voter pessimism was high. It's even harder now that the economy is showing genuine signs of life and consumer confidence is rising. The NASDAQ just hit an 11-year high, while the DOW just hit its own 4-year high. Obama's numbers on the economy are rising.

So they jumped with glee at the thought of wedging voters on birth control, only to find that people decided they liked birth control ... 40 years ago.

So now, after endless moralizing and sanctimonious preaching against sex for fun, Santorum wants to pretend he's got something else in his pocket? Ha ha ha!

He's a Republican. His job plan is to cut taxes for Mitt Romney. There. Done. Now that that's out of the way, he can get back to talking about what he really wants to talk about:

Your bedroom.

The power of knowledge is in mortal combat with the knowledge of power. It really is that simple... That's the Edenic apple we are all munching on.
