AS THE WORLD LIVES ON–THIS POTUS BHO GETS IGNORED–RESTRICTIONS ON IRAN–WHO GIVES A FLY UP THE NOSE–AS RUSSIA WITH THE PUTIN DECLARES I WILL BUILD THEM NUKE PLANTS AND WATCH THIS BHO SMILE AND DO THE SHIMMY–SINCE ME RUSSIAN ALREADY BUILT ONE FOR THE MULLAH

Russia plans to sign a contract with Iran this year to build two more nuclear reactors at its Bushehr power plant as part of a broader deal for up to eight reactors in the Islamic state, a source close to the negotiations told Reuters on Thursday.

 

It was not immediately clear how this might affect six global powers' talks with Iran addressing disputed aspects of its nuclear program. Iran has resisted demands for cuts in its uranium enrichment capacity, pointing to plans for a future network of nuclear power stations.

Western powers want any lasting agreement with Iran to put to rest suspicions that it could develop nuclear weapons-making ability through enrichment. Iran denies any such intent.

The talks ended last week with little progress; they are to resume in Vienna in June.

Russia, one of the six powers, built Iran's only operating nuclear power reactor, at Bushehr.

THE PRICE OF GAS ABOVE $3.00 A GALLON SINCE 2010 - THANKS TO THE DEMOCRAT POTUS IN OFFICE–WHO ELSE CAN BE BLAMED BUT THE POLICY OF RESTRICTION–KEYSTONE PIPELINE ANYONE–OR THE TACTIC OF ENVIRONMENTALS DRIVE TO CONTROL THE FREE INTERPRISE OF ENERGY

Memorial Day weekend drivers will continue to take a hit as gasoline prices remain high.

May 20 marks the 1,245th straight day that the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline costs more than $3 a gallon, according to AAA data. That's nearly three-and-a-half years above $3 a gallon.

USA Today reported last September that, for the first time ever, gas prices had been higher than $3 a gallon for 1,000 consecutive days - beginning Dec. 23, 2010, through Sept. 17, 2013. Unfortunately, that awful record streak of sustained highs has not been broken. Gas prices dipped in the fall, down to $3.179 (Nov. 12), but surged again.

The national average on May 20, 2014, for regular gas was $3.642 a gallon, slightly less than the $3.653 a gallon average one year earlier.

On May 18, USA Today turned to the issue of gas prices again writing that "rumors about the demise of U.S. gasoline demand have been greatly exaggerated." Javier E. David of CNBC wrote for USA Today that international factors were keeping prices high and "defied the gravitational pull" of factors "that should blunt demand."

AAA's Memorial Day forecast predicted 31.8 million people will be driving over the holiday and that gas prices will be "relatively similar" to where they were Memorial Day 2013.

THE ONLY POTUS BHO WHO HAS ALLOWED THE GAS PRICE OF A BARREL OF OIL TO SKYROCKET AND STAY ABOVE $90 AND NOW SURPASSING $100 IN HIS TERM IN OFFICE–AND WE THE PEOPLE PAY FOR THE EVENTUAL COST OF LIVING WITH HIGH PRICES DUE TO THIS LIBERAL LEFTIST RUNNING OF THE ECONOMY–DON’T EXPECT AN APOLOGY FOR HIS MIS-MANAGEMENT AS WHAT WOULD A KOREAN WOULD BE FORCED TO DO–BUT LET’S GIVE THIS POTUS THE BACKDOOR PASS FOR THE WOES WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH

 

According to author Lisa Scherzer, gas prices, for example, have increased by 108% in the past ten years.

Fuel oil used in the house has gotten even more expensive, increasing 145% in price.

Coming in third on the list of things whose prices have increased the most in the decade is college tuition, and there are no surprises there. It’s well-documented that on average, college tuition jumps about 8% every year, and compared to college tuition prices in 2003, schooling costs 88% more.

Medical services make up two items on the same list, with hospital service prices rising 85% and veterinarian services going up 63%.

Interesting price jumps on the list include the food-related items, with beef and veal jumping almost 65% compared to the meat from a decade ago, and eggs getting 58% more expensive. Global food prices are on the rise due to the changing climate and growing population, so it makes sense that two of the most consumed foods in the world are getting more expensive to acquire.

THE LAST POTUS WITHOUT A USA MAN SPACE TRANSPORT THE DEMOCRAT BHO ADMINISTRATION GETS A THROW BACK FROM RUSSIA PUTIN OVER UKRAINE AND MAY NOW LOSE THE ISS–THE NASA FAILURE TO REPLACE THE SPACE SHUTTLE STEMS FROM THE DEMOCRATS IN POWER WITHOUT A VISION FOR SPACE EXPLORATION–THE US PAYS $71 MILLION PER ASTRONAUT TO FLY VIA RUSSIA

But now the spirit of co-operation appears to have died, with the International Space Station – the $150bn (£89bn) international research laboratory that is still physically divided along Cold War lines – becoming the rope in a tug-of-war between American and Russian politicians.

The dispute began in April, when a leaked Nasa memo revealed that the agency would be suspending all contact with the Russian government because of the country's "ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity".

Although the involvement of the US government was not explicit, the space agency's decision was widely assumed to have involved the White House and State Department. Subsequent export restrictions – more specifically, "high technology defence articles or services" – confirmed the US's intent to punish Russia's struggling space industry.

However, there's one area where the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, remains king: transport.

After the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011, the US was entirely reliant on Russian rockets – specifically Soyuz rockets, descendants of those used in the 1975 mission – to get its astronauts to and from the space station.

Last week, Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin, said that Moscow was "very concerned about continuing to develop hi-tech projects with such an unreliable partner as the United States", and declared that the country would reject US plans to use the ISS beyond the station's planned "retirement" in 2020.

Mr Rogozin later softened Moscow's stance slightly, saying that the Russians understood that the ISS was "fragile in the literal and figurative sense", and that it would "act very pragmatically and not put obstacles in the way of work on the ISS". But, for America, the incident has highlighted the dependency of its current aerospace programmes.
