Chilean financial scandal: credit card fine-print rewritten by company to inflate consumer debt, Jun 22, 2011

Marcela Ortiz, Editor CI Santiago Office
Chilean company, La Polar, is the star of the latest major financial scandal in Chile. The lack of regulation of the retail financial market is also a protagonist in the recent drama. Marcela Ortiz, Editor at Consumers International Santiago Office, gives an overview of the situation so far.

La Polar, a retail store that has sold clothing in Chile for decades, has been found to have renegotiated the terms of the debt of nearly half a million users (418,826 people, according to known figures to date) [of its store credit card] without informing them, probably since 2005.

Obama to set course for drawing down Afghan war - Yahoo! News

FILE - In this June 15, 2010 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in Pensacola, Fla. Nearing a critical benchmark in the Afghanistan war, President Barack Obama is considering both how many U.S. troops to bring home next month and a broader withdrawal plan to give Afghans control of their security in 2014. But there are deep divisions over how to achieve that, with military leaders favoring a gradual troop reduction and other advisers pushing for a significant decrease in coming months. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will set the course for drawing down the U.S. war in Afghanistan on Wednesday, when he is expected to announce plans to bring roughly 10,000 American troops home in less than a year.
In a prime-time address from the White House, Obama is likely to outline a phased withdrawal that will bring 5,000 troops home this summer and an additional 5,000 by winter or spring 2012, according to a senior U.S. defense official. That timeline could allow military commanders to keep high troop levels in Afghanistan for two more crucial fighting seasons.

Mediterranean Diet: Meal Plan for Weight Loss, Foods and Information on MedicineNet.com

Some experts consider the "Mediterranean diet" -- rich in plant foods and monounsaturated fats -- to be one of the healthiest in the world.

Heart Attack Causes and Treatments


Heart Attack Causes

Most heart attacks are the end result of coronary heart disease, an condition that clogs coronary arteries with fatty, calcified plaques. As blood flow is gradually impeded, the body may compensate by growing a network of collateral arteries to circumvent blockages; the presence of collateral vessels may greatly reduce the amount of heart muscle damaged by a heart attack. In the early 1980s, researchers confirmed that the precipitating cause of nearly all heart attacks is not the obstructive plaque itself, but the sudden formation of a blood clot on top of plaque that cuts off blood flow in an already narrowed vessel.
