| Many vets with PTSD prescribed opioid painkillers Posted: NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who are treated for pain are more likely to get very strong painkillers if they also have mental health problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a new study. That's worrisome, researchers said, because some people who take opioids -- which include OxyContin and Vicodin -- abuse the drugs or overdose on them, and those who already have mental troubles may be most at risk. "There's really been a culture of, 'Let's get rid of pain,' and I think unfortunately that pendulum may have swung too far," said ... |
| Obama: US will not stay in Afghanistan longer than Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday said the United States was committed to long-term ties with Afghanistan but did not want to keep troops there longer than needed to disable al Qaeda and ensure a modicum of stability as foreign forces withdraw. "President (Hamid) Karzai understands we are interested in a strategic partnership with the Afghan people and the Afghan government," Obama told reporters in a news conference. ... |

But in fact, they're so ingenious that it took until 3500 B.C. for someone to invent them. By that time — it was the Bronze Age — humans were already casting metal alloys, constructing canals and sailboats, and even designing complex musical instruments such as harps. |

| "Honor killings" require tougher laws, say Iraqi women Posted: BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, a father doused his three teenage daughters with boiling water and shot them because, he told a court, he suspected they were having sex. Two died. He said he killed them to defend his honor. Murder in Iraq can carry a death sentence but under laws that activists say are far too lenient for so-called "honor killings," the father was jailed for just two years. Medical examinations showed the girls were virgins. The light sentence was a result of Article 409 of Iraq's penal code which is often used in cases of "honor killings" by men. ... |
