BOSTON - Cancer patients, brace yourselves. Many new drug treatments cost nearly $100,000 a year, sparking fresh debate about how much a few months more of life is worth. The latest is Provenge, a first-of-a-kind therapy approved in April. It costs $93,000 and adds four months' survival, on average, for men with incurable prostate tumors. Bob Svensson is honest about why he got it: insurance paid. "I would not spend that money," because the benefit doesn't seem worth it, says Svensson, 80, a former corporate finance officer from Bedford, Mass.

If I Were A Member Of The Parliament
If I were a member of the parliament. Being a Parliamentarian is not merely a perk of being in power, its not about having front row seats to the political drama that takes place every single day in the Parliament and its not about maintaining your face value, as a "respectable" Parliamentarian. What I aim to achieve in the next few paragraphs, is that I shall try to explain to the best of abilities, the righteous duties of a Parliamentarian, and of course, logically linking to the topic as to what I can do, if I were a member of the Parliament.

What Israel wants from the Palestinians, it takes
By colonizing the West Bank and depriving Palestinians of basic rights, Israel has made a two-state solution impossible. Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Michael B. Oren, argues in his Sept. 15 Times Op-Ed article that Israelis want peace, and I believe him. They've said so often enough. But the Israelis want lots of other things too.

35000 feet.
Written on my Blackberry, En-route to Lahore at 35000 feet. Staring out the window in a rather pensive mood, I let me gaze linger about the horizon, pleased with the disposition, as it is, un-defyingly endless. Today has been a totally chaotic day. With less then 3 hours to spare, I woke up, rather was woken up today only to find that I had packed absolutely NOTHING. It isn't like I was going for a vacation, I was returning to my hostel for about 2 months, maybe more. I hadn't picked out the clothes that I was supposed to take along, hell I hadn't even picked out the clothes I was supposed to wear to the airport. Anyway, in purely chaotic disarray, the packing was completed and the cases locked and loaded in the car. I reached the airport, with only 45 minutes to spare. I went through the security check quickly, feeling relieved as it wasn't crowded, but what did I know fate had a nasty surprise planned out for me. Just as I turned to head towards the check in counters, my jaw literally dropped in astonishment. Swear words started flying out as I saw hundreds of heads badgering ignorant PIA staff at those counters. I was damn sure that I was going to miss my flight. Anyhow, in the nick of time, I made it to the check in counter, went through all of the processes and finally sat down in the plane. Even though I was hungry like shit, PIA just served me a very tiny sandwich and ice-cream. That's the service we get for exorbitant rates that are whisked out of our pockets. Nevertheless, I'm on my way to Lahore, hope the weather is okay down there, and hope and pray to Allah that I finally get able to study. Sent from my BlackBerry® Smartphone provided by Ufone
My Endless Love
Lionel Richie - My Endless Love. This has to be the pinnacle of all love songs. Love, let's define love. Attraction? Affection? Inclination? - bullshit. Ever try seeing the "other" side of this phenomena? What about the broken hearts? The hurt feelings? The bad memories? Who accounts for them? Questions right? A lot of them. Let's see who has the answers. Sent from my BlackBerry® Smartphone provided by Ufone
Flying High!
Ai'te people! After over 4 months of lazying around and doing stupid things in this awesome city of Karachi, I finally bid you all farewell, as I sit on the uncomfortable PIA seat inside the place. Adios Amigos!

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".. and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?" One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, "That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?" The little girl replied, directly into the pastor's clip-on microphone, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a bitch to iron."
6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!" I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy." "I know," she replied, but what's growing in your butt?"
7. A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine.." His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?" The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom." "And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked. "Yes," he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?" The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition." The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?" After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite scones wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite scones. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted Irish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in rumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a scone at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a wooden spoon ...... ......... ......... Fuck off' she said, 'they're for the funeral.'

There was a boy whose parents were very strict in his upbringing. They never allowed him to meet any girls, except his own relatives. However, one day he saw one of his best friends kissing a girl and he went to his mother and asked her what they were doing. His mother told him, "It's called kissing and any boy who does that to a girl will die that very minute!" On his 21st birthday he went out with some friends who introduced him to one of the sweetest girls around town. She knew that he had never been kissed before. When she eventually got some time alone with him, she tried to kiss him but he resisted.
She asked him, "What are you afraid of, it won't hurt." He said, "My mother said if I kiss a girl I'll die this very minute!!" She replied, "Don't be a baby, now come on kiss me." With that she gave him a hot one square across the lips. He began to cry, "Oh no I'm going to die!!!" She said, "Why are you going to die?" He replied, "I've just kissed you and already one part of me has begun to get stiff!" Sent from my BlackBerry® Smartphone provided by Ufone
