We must understand that power is linked in world politics to oil. As the greatest industrial nation on the earth, America has an insatiable appetite and desire for oil. When coal was the number one energy in the world, Great Britain ruled the world because she had the greatest deposits of coal. When the power to move engines moved from coal to oil, then England and America began vying for control of the places on this earth that produce oil. Who are these rogue states that America says she does not like and how is oil connected to America’s displeasure?Libya. Libya is one of the three countries in the world with the sweetest crude oil. What was America and England doing in Libya? Did these people bother these two great powers? No, Libya has oil. Both America and Great Britain had military bases there. Libya had a king called Idris and Muammar Gadhafi, as a young man, a colonel in the Libyan military in a bloodless coup, overthrew the king, then pushed the British and the Americans out and nationalized the oil. Then, He was able to raise the standard of living of all Libyans and, with money left, he aided the liberation struggle of people all over the world. America and its administrations were upset with that. Read more...

A mother rat withholds nurturing licks from its pup and elicits a brain change that impairs the pup's response to stress as an adult, researchers in Canada found. A pregnant woman's dietary deficits increase her offspring's risk of diabetes, stroke and heart disease later in life, researchers in England have shown.
moms, especially moms of color. African-American women suffer maternal mortality rates far higher than any other ethnic group: about 46 of 100,000 African-American mothers die due to childbirth, as compared to much lower rates in Whites (12.4), Hispanics (12.8), and Asians (9.3). The authors of the report are still not sure exactly why African-American women are four times as likely to die than women of other races, but they suspect a combination of higher obesity rates, lower use of prenatal health care, less adequate care, and various risk factors as a result of lower socioeconomic status (e.g. higher stress). But the authors still seemed to be scratching their heads about how one ethnic group could make up only 6% of all California births, but 22% of maternal deaths.

he survey in question was released in March by the Pew Research Center and it asked questions about marriage and parenthood. Among other things, it revealed that while matrimony hasn’t exactly been relegated to the history books, views on the necessity of this institution—both as a statement about a relationship, and as a prerequisite for parenting—are shifting. For example, only 30 percent of the 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed said that, in life, having a successful marriage “is one of the most important things.” Also noteworthy, 66 percent of respondents in that age group disagreed with the statement that “unmarried, but coupled parenthood is bad for society.”

Growing up in Kansas there was a saying...if you didn’t like the weather just wait a few minutes and it would change. I have since discovered that same sentiment is used here in the northwest. It seems it is either too cold, too hot, too windy, too wet, too dry and never just right. Around the U.S. we have been seeing some very strange weather and you can call it global warming or whatever but it giving agriculture the smackdown on the mat. From coast to coast we are getting a mixed bag of weather. USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey says that another of Mother Nature’s tricks may be occuring.
A dollar plumbing three-year lows is hitting Americans squarely in the gas tank, and one economist thinks it could drive prices as high as $6 a gallon or more by summertime under the right conditions. With the greenback coming under increased pressure from Federal Reserve policies and investor appetite for more risk, there seems little direction but up for commodity prices, in particular energy and metals.
