...much as the success of the modern production of beliefs. The modern health-care narrative is so firmly entrenched that it needs no introduction. You are sick; you visit the doctor; he diagnoses the illness; he prescribes the appropriate medication; you get better. Often this process, and not the actual treatment, cures us with its normality. This is why 55 percent of Chicago doctors have prescribed a placebo treatment to their patients...
...There's this new guy, Samuel, whom we met last week, who can control ink, but his actual described power is to control the earth. He wants to find someone to replace his dead brother within his entourage at the carnival. So he goes after Peter Petrelli by pretending to be someone he previously saved and suing him for injuries.

At the end, Samuel collapses a big fancy house into a sinkhole...

"Seismic airguns are very loud, and under certain circumstances they can cause actual physical damage," says Rose. "When a species such as the humpback dolphin is already facing many threats and is hovering on the brink of extinction, adding to their risks by subjecting them to stress from airgun surveys could be the difference between making it and not making it," Rose says.

...Actual warfare has become infinitely more costly in recent generations - as the bloody conflicts of the 20th century proved. Thus sanctions, by and large, have become war by other means. The U.S. has applied such measures more than 100 times since World War I, against more than 75 countries. President Franklin D. Roosevelt imposed them as a check on Japanese imperialism in 1940, Ronald Reagan leveled them as a way to combat martial law in Poland, and a legion of leaders have used sanctions in recognition of the atrocities perpetuated in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Kim Jong Il's North...
