Hugo Chavez Dies at 58
V e n ez u ela n P re sid e n t
Hugo Chavez, the charis­
matic leftist who domi­
nated his country with
sweeping political change
and flamboyant speeches,
died Tuesday at age 58,
after a long battle with cancer. Chavez held
sway over Venezuela through a cult of per­
sonality, government reforms that champi­
oned the downtrodden, and an endless
stream of rhetoric denouncing capitalism,
imperialism and the United States.

the child was taken to another fam ily
member ’ s home. It is unclear who found him.
Police did not release additional details.
Lawmakers Help Schools
Kitchen looking more like an office?
At this rate, you might want both.
State lawmakers have announced a new bud­
get proposal that will help stabilize funding
and save money for Oregon schools over the
next two years. K -12 schools are expected to
receive the funding equivalent of $6.75 billion,
which for Portland would help avoid a $17
million budget gap that was projected due to
federal sequestration funding cuts.

The Dow Jones industrial average reached a
record high on Tuesday, a key level in its
recovery from the 2008 financial meltdown.
Since the last record, the housing market
collapsed, the econom y has stum bled
through years of slow growth and high un­
employment, and the country has experi­
enced the worst financial crisis since the
Great Depression
New figures show a dramatic jum p in heat-
trapping carbon dioxide, making it very un­
likely that global warming can be limited to
another 2 degrees as many global leaders
have hoped. Scientists say the rise in CO2
reflects the world's economy revving up and
burning more fossil fuels.
North Korea Vows to Cancel Cease-fire
North Korea vowed to cancel the 1953 cease­
fire that ended the Korean War, citing a U.S.-
led push for punishing U.N. sanctions over
its recent nuclear test, and ongoing U.S.-
South Korean joint military drills. The state­
ment came amid reports that Washington
and Beijing have approved a draft of a U.N.
Security Council resolution calling for sanc­
tions in response to the nuclear test.
