Venezuela's Chavez returns to Cuba for more treatment
I wonder how serous is his cancer that it came back?

US helps Pakistan search for 135 buried in snow
"The U.S. sent a team of experts Sunday to help Pakistan search for 135 people
buried a day earlier by a massive avalanche that engulfed a military complex in a mountain battleground close to the Indian border. At least 240 Pakistani troops and civilians worked at the site of the disaster at the entrance to the Siachen Glacier with the aid of sniffer dogs and heavy machinery, said the army. But they struggled to dig through some 25 meters (80 feet) of snow, boulders and mud that slid down the mountain early Saturday morning." See: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/world/5...-army.html.csp |

The US have so much invested in there that it is difficult to just cut ties like that. Someone doing foreign affairs for the US is finally using their brain; as much as Pakistan is a money sink.

The cartel's financial needs will drive it to respond to counter moves by its clients: When we drill more oil at home, OPEC can drill less to return to a tight supply-demand relationship. When we use less, OPEC can drill less. But that logic is not supported by actual data. Saudi Arabia has been increasing its production rate since 2009. The latest data point in the graph is also the highest. In fact, the total crude oil production by OPEC members also steadily increased in the same time period. I think it's pretty clear that the skyrocketing demand, the limited spare production capacity, and market speculation are mostly to blame. The evidence of Saudi Arabia raising oil price on purpose in that article is rather weak. |

You know that 12% of the country still thinks Obama is a Muslin... this issue alone is a worrying sign that the population of this country has a very serious problem when it comes to thinking critically. They are easily controlled by oversimplified talking points and catchy phrases.
Reading the comments section of that article is just truly depressing. It is like these people are begging to bend over and F**ked by corporations.

I wish I could magically transfer my partner's incurable, almost untreatable chronic neuropathic pain disorder to all of these people who think healthcare should only be for the rich. It'd be interesting to see how quickly they reverse their positions when they live in constant agony and the only relief is through expensive maintenance drugs they can't afford.
