AS U.S. RUNS AN OCCUPATION DISGUISED AS RELIEF
The battle-stretched US military Saturday vowed to keep up US assistance in Haiti as long as needed on Saturday as it pointed to a likely 45 to 50 day armed mission. Webmaster’s Commentary:
Don’t bet on that; the battle for the exploitation of oil and mineral rights in Haiti (which will, of course, still leave the Haitian people impoverished beyond belief) has just begun.

Back in December, the qualification dates for existing tiers of unemployment benefits were extended for an additional two months. Time is up at the end of February.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The latest official (and probably unrealistically optimistic) report from DC is that the unemployment slump will continue until at least the end of 2012.
Obviously, the States will not survive that long.
It may be that 2010 will be the summer of rage.
We live in a time of steadily rising unemployment, and,
consequently, much emphasis is being placed on stimulating job creation. To this
end, the federal government has already spent a lot of economic
stimulus money on a variety of infrastructure projects. An obvious
question to ask is whether any of these projects have directly
benefited the unemployed, beyond creating a few temporary jobs. It is
a no-brainer that the jobs to create first are the ones in industries
with the highest growth potential, where job creation can quickly
become self-sustaining. As a matter of public policy, it would make
perfect sense to provide seed money for what is bound to become a new
high-growth industry segment: serving the needs of the permanently
unemployed.
In order to counteract the rise in prices in the capitalist market,
Chavez encouraged communes to create new systems of distribution and
consumption. He gave the example of the Socialist Arepa shop in
Caracas that sells the popular Venezuelan food at about half of the
normal price, and makes the arepas from corn meal that was precooked
in socialist centres , and purchased at a non-profit price.

Attacking Cancer Cells with Hydrogel Nanoparticles

Other scientists believe that even moderate levels of exercise are
responsible for slowing down the aging process and even reversing it.
Many studies have shown that engaging in regular physical activity
helps to prevent the onset of chronic disease and can help to lower
cholesterol and reduce blood pressure. By slowing down the aging

prevented.
