BRADDOCK — Highmark's Allegheny Health Network has opened an urgent care center in Braddock, a Pittsburgh suburb where the rival University of Pittsburgh Medical Center closed a hospital almost five years ago.

UPMC closed the 123-bed hospital on Jan. 31, 2010, because it was losing money. Residents objected that it would cost the impoverished suburb badly needed jobs and make medical care inconvenient. The nearest UPMC urgent care center is nearly nine miles away in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood, according to a UPMC website.

The Braddock Urgent Care Center, which opened Monday, has 12 patient exam rooms, and facilities for blood work and X-rays.

NEW YORK — The price of oil plunged again Monday and fell below $50 a barrel for the first time since April 2009 as evidence mounted that the world will be oversupplied with oil this year.Benchmark U.S. oil dipped to $49.77 before closing down $2.65, or 5 percent, to $50.04 a barrel. Brent crude, a global benchmark used to price oil used by many U.S. refineries, sank $3.31, or 5.9 percent, to $53.11.In June of last year oil traded above $107 a barrel. But rising production outside of OPEC, especially in the U.S., boosted supplies just as weakness in the global economy slowed the growth in oil demand. OPEC's decision in November to maintain existing production levels accelerated the rout in oil prices.
