A few years ago members from a the U.S. Black Caucus visited Cuba and stated that there are very little to no doctors in the poor black communities in America and that they were in need of doctors. When The President of Cuba Fidel Castro heard this he almost immediately announced the Scholarships for Black and Latino people to attend Cuba's Latin American School of Medicine. This is despite the issues between Cuba and America.
A Large part of Cuba's population are people of African descent and this scholarship has already benefited countless people. Our People basically found assistance from the outside in order to Help the plight of Black people in poor communities and combat the system that is in place. There a few hundred students in the program now with full scholarships and There are 47 students that have already graduated from the program and a few of them are already working in U.S. hospitals currently. This is proof that the credential earned from this Med school are being honored and respected around the world. America systematically uses this racism and discrimination to affect the Black Population and Cuba has effectively stepped in and provided opportunities for people who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend med school due to its extreme expensive cost and the resulting debt.

new tumblr feature idea #485
disable reblogs per individual post.
incidentally, feel free to reblog this.
I like it in theory, but to be devil's advocate for a minute: 1) it'll never happen, because 2) it's not enforceable in practice.
Once you post something, there is no way to stop someone from just pasting the whole thing into a new post.
Sure, you might stop some of the lazier ones by taking away the one-click access. But the real creepers won't be deterred. Look at how many images find their way here, totally unattributed, from all over the place.
There are a lot of features tumblr needs. #1 would be the ability to go private, imho. No public URL, and you get to pick who sees you in your private stream (like a protected Twitter feed or a properly locked-down Facebook page). If tumblr could provide that, most other privacy concerns would fade quickly.

Making useable energy from waste sounds like a utopian concept from a science fiction movie set far in the future: too good to be true.
But here in Canada it's actually happening.
Enerkem, a Montreal-based firm started in 2000, has commercialized technology that derives energy and chemical feedstocks from wide variety of non-recyclable municipal solid waste. This includes industrial, commercial and institutional solid waste and construction and demolition debris.
Enerkem's proprietary tech converts the mixed textiles, plastics, fibers, wood and other non-recyclable materials into chemical-grade syngas, and then into fuel.
Cellulosic ethanol, to be precise.
"Enerkem is considered the first company to have developed a green chemistry process capable of breaking down waste materials that are chemically and structurally heterogeneous and converting them into a pure, chemical-grade, stable and homogeneous syngas, which we then condition so that it can be converted into advanced biofuels and renewable chemicals," explains Marie-Hélène Labrie, Enerkem's vice-president of communications.
Methanol is first derived from waste feedstock as a chemical building block for the production of ethanol. But Enerkem can sell this methanol as an end-product, or use it as a key intermediate to produce other renewable chemicals.
"Methanol has many usages in the chemical industry," says Enerkem Director of Communications Annie Paré. "It is also used for windshield washer fluid."
These industrial chemicals include methanol and other chemical intermediates that form everyday products such as textiles, coatings, adhesives and paints, to name a few. Paré references a 'Chemical Markets Report' that states the global renewable chemicals market will be worth US$59 billion in 2014.
A full-scale Enerkem waste-to-biofuels facility is now being built in Edmonton, with another under development in Pontotoc, Mississippi and yet another ready to break ground later this year in Varennes, Quebec. This facility, called VANERCO and to be operated by GreenField Ethanol, will employ between 30 to 40 engineers, technicians, operators and other staff. Enerkem also currently operates a commercial demonstration facility in Westbury, Quebec and a pilot plant in Sherbrooke.
"Our Edmonton facility is the very first collaboration in the world between a waste-to-biofuels producer and a metropolitan centre (the City of Edmonton) to address waste disposal challenges," notes Paré. "It will be operational by this summer."
And more plants will come. "There is strong increased interest from cities in alternatives to landfilling waste," Paré explains. "Large industrial companies, including chemical companies, are also very interested in sustainable energy solutions and producing greener everyday products."
The technology developed by Enerkem goes beyond diverting solid waste from landfills and creating energy from it. Through the use of the cellulosic ethanol made by Enerkem's technology, greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced.
It's estimated that the VANERCO project will reduce the Quebec's greenhouse gas emissions by about 110,000 metric tonnes of CO2 every year, meeting the Government of Québec's commitment to reduce GHG emissions to 20 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, under the province's 2006-2012 Climate Change Action Plan.
The company's breakthrough technology was initially inspired by the research of Dr. Esteban Chornet, professor emeritus (chemical engineering) at the Université de Sherbrooke. "Dr. Chornet actually conceived the idea for the Enerkem technology while observing his father using wood waste from his sawmill to make electricity in the late 1930's in Mallorca, Spain," notes Labrie.
Together, Chornet and his son Vincent brought the technology platform to market, a four-step thermochemical process that includes feedstock preparation, gasification, cleaning and conditioning of syngas, and catalytic synthesis of fuel.
Only a relatively low temperature and pressure are needed to operate the entire system, and the first phase of the Enerkem process is auto-thermal, which means that the heat required is created by the chemical reaction itself.
Astonishingly, the Enerkem process produces more than four times the energy required to operate. "This means for one unit of energy used to operate the plant, we produce four units of usable energy in the form of ethanol," Paré notes,
Labrie says the biggest challenge for Enerkem – and in her opinion, for the cleantech sector in general – has been to raise the private capital to get their tech to the commercialization phase. She says the company's business model, rigorous scale-up plan and solid team has enabled them to meet this challenge – to attract strong private investors, including venture capital funds, institutional funds and industrial partners.
The company is majority-owned by investors keen on clean technology such as Waste Management, Braemar Energy Ventures, Investissement Québec, Valero, Cycle Capital, The Westly Group, Fonds de solidarité FTQ and Fondaction CSN.
Enerkem believes the demand for ethanol will continue to grow in the coming years. "The advanced ethanol market is driven by a number of factors," Paré says, naming government policies, private investments, infrastructure development such as higher ethanol blends, as well as technologies reaching the commercial deployment phase.
She says consumers are continuing to ask for more choice at the pump while car manufacturers are working to improve fuel economy, an area in which ethanol can certainly help by delivering high octane ratings and lower emissions. "We equally observe a high level of interest and a growing demand on international markets for advanced biofuels and renewable chemicals," Labrie adds. "Moreover, ethanol should continue to be cheaper than gasoline."
Enerkem also sees the overall future of Canada's cleantech sector as bright. "The Canadian clean technology industry has over 700 companies comprised primarily of small and medium companies, and over 74 per cent of these companies are exporters," says Labrie. "According to Analytica Advisors, this sector is expected to continue to grow significantly and has the potential to become a $32 billion market by 2022."

SEBASTIAN INLET -- Human night owls have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of sea turtles nesting on the beach this summer, especially if the weather is less than ideal, said Sebastian Inlet State Park rangers.
On May 15, the state park began accepting reservations for the free guided turtle walks leaving from the McClarty Treasure Museum in June. Reservations for dates in July will open on June 15.
The turtle walk program begins at 9 p.m., Friday through Tuesday, except on July 4, said Sebastian Inlet Park Ranger Terry O'Toole.
"We see turtles on 75 percent of the trips and that's a pretty steady trend, but there's always that 25 percent," he said.
From his 34-year experience as a ranger, the best times to see a mama turtle come up on the shoreline to lay eggs is on "miserable" evenings.
"On nights with bad weather, where it's drizzly, rainy and just miserable, we usually see turtles," Ranger O'Toole said.
The turtle walk program begins at 9 p.m. with an educational presentation by a ranger, which includes hands-on visuals and a slide presentation.
While tour guests are introduced to the types of sea turtles that can be found nesting on Indian River County shores, their sizes and how the human population can help the turtle population, "turtle scouts," state park volunteers are walking the nearby beach in search of a turtle nesting.
If a turtle is found nesting, the group will be escorted directly to the site, but if no turtle is found by 10 p.m., guests could walk up to three miles and stay as late as 1 a.m. waiting and searching for a turtle to come ashore, Ranger O'Toole said.
This turtle nesting season has been an exciting one already, with the first-ever sighting of a Kemp's ridley sea turtle nesting on the shore just two weeks ago, he said.
The Kemp's ridley sea turtle is the rarest sea turtle and is critically endangered.
Loggerhead sea turtles and the large leatherback sea turtles have also been spotted since the nesting season officially began May 1.
Loggerheads are a threatened species, while other two sea turtles that commonly nest on Florida's coast, leatherbacks and green sea turtles, are both considered endangered.
Nesting loggerheads are the only turtles rangers are permitted by the state to show tour groups.
Tour visitors are advised to wear clothing that will cover them from mosquitos and to wear an insect repellant with DEET. Participants should be in moderate physical condition, able to walk up to three miles in the beach sand, Ranger O'Toole said.
For more information about the sea turtle walks at Sebastian Inlet State Park, call (772) 388-2750 or visit www.floridastateparks.org/sebastianinlet/default.cfm.

Like millions of Americans, Bill and Helen Bluett's greatest financial asset is their home, a Spanish-style dwelling just a quarter of a mile from the ocean in San Clemente, Calif.
Selling the place and buying a cheaper one elsewhere could have brought the couple hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra money for their retirement years. But there was one problem with that idea.
So this year, the Bluetts signed up for a reverse mortgage, a type of loan that allows older borrowers to tap their home equity without making payments as long as they live in the house.
With the money, the Bluetts are more than able to take on projects like remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms. More important, Bill Bluett said, the reverse mortgage makes them financially prepared for "any emergency, whether it's medical or whatever, that might come up" in the years ahead.
"My wife and I decided it would give us a lot of peace of mind," he explained.
Reverse mortgages have been criticized for high upfront costs. Lenders may charge 2 percent of the loan amount in origination fees, and most borrowers also pay 2 percent for mortgage insurance, along with other fees that can far exceed those in conventional home loans.
Loan amounts often are subject to strict limits, which vary based on location, and many financial planners still are not familiar enough with reverse mortgages to guide their clients.
But in an era when legions of older homeowners are sitting on vast amounts of untapped equity, reverse mortgages seem to be catching on. Competition has started to push down costs, and lenders are beginning to offer loans on unlimited amounts, a noteworthy shift in an industry that has mostly relied on federally insured mortgages with strict caps.
In recent months, Countrywide Financial Corp., Bank of America Corp. and BNY Mortgage Co. have scaled up their efforts in the growing field.
After years on the sidelines, Wall Street has entered the game, with investment banks for the first time purchasing such loans in a secondary market, which may further stir innovation and encourage more lenders to offer reverse mortgages. At the current rate, lenders could sell more than 100,000 reverse mortgages this year, more than double the number from 2005.
"The significant thing in the last several months is that the big boys are coming in," said Bart Johnson, president of Irvine, Calif.-based Financial Freedom Senior Funding Corp., a leading provider of reverse mortgages. "The last six months to a year have been incredible."
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson recently described reverse mortgages as "the bright spot in today's housing market," adding that "their significance will only increase as more Baby Boomers reach retirement."
In a conventional mortgage, the lender lends you money to buy a house, and you gradually pay down the debt and build up equity as you make monthly payments.
In a reverse mortgage, the lender gives you the money -- as a lump sum, in monthly installments or as a line of credit -- and takes your home equity as payment.
Typically, reverse mortgages don't have to be paid back until you sell your home, move or die. People must be at least 62 to qualify for a reverse mortgage.
As with all loans, reverse mortgages have fees and charge interest.
For example, a 78-year-old borrower whose home is worth $200,000 might end up with a reverse mortgage of $123,000, based on his age, interest rate levels and other factors. In this case, the borrower might pay about $13,000 in upfront fees, including a $4,000 loan origination fee, $4,000 in mortgage insurance and a $4,000 "set-aside" to cover servicing costs for the life of the loan, according to Fannie Mae, the federally chartered lender.
Based on recent interest rates, such a loan might come with an adjustable interest rate of about 6 percent, with interest charges compounding during the life of the mortgage.
'Backward' move can pay off
Reverse mortgages let older borrowers tap their home equity with no payments as long as they live there

And while state education officials say the mandated federal changes are a way to ensure college preparedness and mastery of basic skills, there are growing pockets of opposition to the plan across New York and the nation.
From The NYS Education Dept. Common Core resources

"What we are looking for is not walk away from evaluating teachers, not to walk away from testing, but to walk away from consequences tied directly to standardized tests," NYSUT President Richard Ianuzzi tells WBEN.
Even the best of lesson plans need to be continually adapted to student needs, he said in a prepared statement, and "you don't test what hasn't been taught" or the result is meaningless data.
The teachers union is one of several groups beginning to speak out against the common core curriculum and related standardized testing.
Last month, a coalition of 7 education groups ranging from the NEA to The State School Boards Association joined together to speak out against the plan and how it is being implemented.
Other examples of a the rebellion against the standards.
A rally against the curriculum and related standardized testing brought approx. 2,500 to Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo last week. Organizers- like Prof Walter Polka, a former school superintendent who now teaches at Niagara University say districts need to start pressing for reform. "It's eroded local control of the curriculum," Polka says
Nationwide, Indiana and Georgia have taken steps to repeal the common core idea, while Florida and Texas are beginning to look at reforming the way it is implemented.
In Tennessee and elsewhere, the push against the common core has made for some unusual pairings, with conservative Tea Party groups joining with progressives like the Badass Teacher Association, a group that says teachers are being micro managed.
"There are people in this fight fighting for different reasons, but the objective is the same," Karen Bracken, a founder of Tennessee Against the Common Core recently told NBC News. "Some people are concerned about the data. Some are concerned about the textbooks. Some are concerned about the constitutionality. Some people are concerned about the union issues,' she said.

Common Core State Standards are K-12 English Language Arts/Literacy and Math standards that will create a clear, consistent level of knowledge for our public school students no matter where they live.
They Will Deepen Problem-Solving Skills and Critical Thinking
They Promote Greater Opportunity s
They Bring Back Flexibility and Creativity
They Call for Collaborative Decisions
Implementation is the Key to Success
Fifteen members of the Learning First Alliance, a partnership of national education organizations representing more than ten million parents, educators and policymakers, have agreed on the following statement:
The Learning First Alliance believes that the Common Core State Standards have the potential to transform teaching and learning and provide all children with knowledge and skills necessary for success in the global community.
To meet this potential, teachers, administrators, parents and communities are working together to align the standards with curriculum, instruction and assessment. Their work – which includes providing the pre-service and professional learning opportunities educators need to effectively teach the standards, making necessary adaptations to implementation plans as work progresses and field-testing efforts to ensure proper alignment – will take time.
Rushing to make high-stakes decisions such as student advancement or graduation, teacher evaluation, school performance designation, or state funding awards based on assessments of the Common Core standards before the standards have been fully and properly implemented is unwise. We suggest a transition period of at least one year after the original deadline in which results from assessments of these standards are used only to guide instruction and attention to curriculum development, technology infrastructure, professional learning and other resources needed to ensure that schools have the supports needed to help all students achieve under the Common Core. Removing high-stakes consequences for a short time will ensure that educators have adequate time to adjust their instruction, students focus on learning, and parents and communities focus on supporting children.
During this time, we urge a continued commitment to accountability. We recommend that states and districts continue to hold educators and schools to a high standard as determined by the components of their accountability systems that are not solely based on standardized tests, including other evidence of student learning, peer evaluations, school climate data and more.
We have seen growing opposition to the Common Core as officials move too quickly to use assessments of the Common Core State Standards in high-stakes accountability decisions. Such actions have the potential to undermine the Common Core – and thus our opportunity to improve education for all students. We must take the necessary time to ensure we succeed in this endeavor.

Kourtney Kardashian and her baby daddy Scott Disick are reportedly living apart. According to a new report by In Touch magazine, Scott moved out of the home he shares with Kourtney and has been staying at the Beverly Hills hotel. And they claim he was seen getting cozy with a brunette that wasn't Kourtney. "The woman was in her 20s and exotic-looking," a source told the mag. "She was pulling a small suitcase on wheels and Scott put both his arms around the small of her back, kissed her on the cheek and whispered into her ear. When Scott pulled back, he kept his hand on her hips and leaned back, as if to check her out." Seems like the Kardashian women are having trouble with their men, Kim better keep Kanye close!

Google Gets Set to Take on its Partners
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Eric Schmidt, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) chairman, was recently spotted using the company's upcoming Moto X phone, an offering that should help Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) fortunes and frighten players like Samsung (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF).
Indeed, the first big launch of a Motorola phone since Google bought Motorola Mobility for over $12 billion in 2012 changes the dynamics in the cell phone market in a big way. While Google has repeatedly stressed that it wanted Motorola's patents, it now looks like it will be taking on all of the phone makers who have bet their future on the company's Android operating system (OS).
A Risky Move
That's a risky move for Google that takes it out of its position of neutral ally. In fact, the company's search and Android businesses historically made money by getting as many people to use them free of charge as possible. Google earned its keep by selling advertising and applications.
That's been a huge business success for the search giant, with sales going from $1.4 billion to over $50 billion over the past decade. Earnings have gone from $0.40 a share to over $32. That's incredible growth. The only problem is that new businesses aren't as profitable as the old ones, leading the profit margin to fall 10 percentage points over the last three years.
Top-line growth has hidden that decline, but the issue is notable enough to make it into the company's annual Risks list. Now that Google is shifting its model to take on the partners that have been so important in building its business, the top-line could see pressure, too, if other mobile operating systems gain in popularity. Investors need to watch margins and sales at Google and be prepared to sell if either head south.
Ready Made
A year ago there wasn't a notable competitor to Android other than Apple's Mobile OS. But Apple doesn't give its technology to anyone. Microsoft's, however, recently launched a new version of Windows Mobile with Nokia's Lumia acting as the showcase. The updated Windows Mobile could quickly find itself the bell of the ball as Google partners scramble to find alternatives to Android.
Microsoft's top line has been heading higher since the end of the 2007 to 2009 recession. Although new product launches took the bottom-line from about $2.70 to $2 between 2011 and 2012, growth investors should like the opportunity that Google is basically throwing in Microsoft's lap.
Second quarter earnings, which included a large write-off for the Surface tablet, has investors worried about Microsoft's mobile ambitions again. That said, the yield of around 2.6%, backed by a decade of annual dividend hikes, is still notable. Growth and income investors should take a look at this mobile alternative as Google gets set to take on its partners in the space.
Going it Alone
Than there's Samsung, whose Galaxy phones and tablets are the only true competitors to Apple's iPhone and iPad products. The only thing is that the Galaxy products use Google's Android. Unlike many phone players, Samsung has the size to build its own mobile OS.
Tizen, as the OS is called, is set to debut later this year. Although the effort is worthwhile, it's a risky bet to make at a difficult juncture for the company. Like Apple, Samsung appears to be facing a sales slowdown. Bringing out a new OS could either give it an edge or turn into a massive disaster.
The fear of a disappointment should be high on investors' minds. Microsoft's first mobile OS was horrible and had to be largely reworked. Nokia's efforts to build an OS were a total write-off, as it chose to dump the OS to partner with Microsoft for a much needed cash infusion.
Samsung's shares have been trading lower on sales concerns. Investors should probably just avoid the stock. Tizen might be the right move, but investors are being driven by emotion today and a self-made OS could turn the company's fortunes for the better or the worse. The risks are just too high.
The Biggest Fears Realized
Google stepping into the mobile phone ring is probably among the biggest fears for its partners. Now that Moto X is out of the bag, look for changes in the industry. Microsoft is likely to be a big winner as Google partners look for more OS options.
Google, meanwhile, is taking a big risk that could hinder sales at a time when its margins have been contracting. Investors should keep a close watch. Samsung is also taking a big risk by trying to build an OS on its own. Investors have already soured somewhat on the shares and this added risk won't help. Avoid the stock until its efforts to revitalize growth begin to show results.

Although Schubert almost certainly set this poem as early as 1817, it was published later in Beiträge zur Bildung für Jünglinge, a type of Boys' Own Paper edited by Mayrhofer. This boatman is a role-model for the young of brave, manly behaviour in which Biedermeier morals comfortably meet Victorian values. The heroes of the English boys' paper would probably have suited the mood of rising German nationalism in Schubert's time. Wyndham Lewis described them thus: 'Tough conquering Nordics ... crammed with experience and philosophy... blundering through trackless forests and lethal swamps foiling villains of Latin origin'. Illustrations depicted these gallants in heroic profile, resolute, good looking, in control of life's tempests - in short all the things which this poet and this composer were not, but perhaps would have liked to be. Mayrhofer's passionate espousal of the ideals of Greek antiquity provides another clue to his desired self-image. He casts himself in this poem as a hero worthy of the Sacred Band. The wish-fulfilment fantasy of this picture perhaps robs us of the complete engagement we feel when a poem allows Schubert to create more vulnerable characters. But there is no doubt that this is a splendid piece of bravura, a good 'sing' composed, as Einstein says, 'in a single stroke'. In Der Strom, from the same year, the poet's life is compared with the water's erratic meanderings; in Der Schiffer the water, powerfully though it rages, is powerless to alter the boatman's course. Man is on the way to taming nature. The harmonic clashes on 'ich peitsche die Wellen' (and equivalent places) are particularly fine and there is yet another new piano figuration for water music, this time a wild force held on a tight leash by human willpower. Schubert responds magnificently to this set-piece challenge, and yet it must be said that the greatest Mayrhofer songs develop and change in their course, something which is denied to this single-minded tableau. If these words have a hollow ring to them it is because Mayrhofer's battle against the elements (or more particularly, the elements in society which he despised) was a Walter Mitty fantasy: however much he tried on the costume, Mayrhofer was no intrepid boatman. He never quite dared to stand openly against the prejudice and narrow mindedness of his times, and was even forced to work at a later date for the most authoritarian of employers, the Imperial Censor's office. The frustrations of Mayrhofer, the tender revolutionary, seem obvious to us now but these resentments lay hidden from most of his contemporaries, festering in his troubled mind. Writing subversive poetry like this (acceptable to the censor who of course wrongly assumed the boatman upheld traditional values) was a means of escape and release.

Before Monday's game against Missisquoi Valley Union High School, Enosburg boys basketball Assistant Coach Jeremiah Melhuish addressed his team.
"This is a game for our brother. Tonight, we get to honor him. Honor him as a person, honor him as a player, honor him as a friend, honor him as a brother," Melhuish said. "Let's go out there, let's make our legacy, for Enosburg, for B.G."
B.G. stands for Brandon Gleason. In a season filled with tributes and dedications for Gleason, Monday night he received the ultimate honor. His number 11 was raised to the ceiling of the Enosburg Falls Gym. Brandon's younger brother Devin and his older sister Maria did the honors.
It's been nearly nine months since the seventeen year old star volleyball and basketball player was killed in a car accident, hit by an alleged drunk driver.
"There were players before the basketball season having a tough time, not playing and thinking more about Brandon," Enosburg Head Coach Matt Luneau said. "The basketball has been a relief for them."
"It's never easy losing someone especially someone so close," Enosburg Senior Nicholas Carpenter said. "Just bringing him up makes it easier for us to remember him to think of all the good times."
As for the game, the Hornets rallied from a five point deficit late to send the game into overtime. Enosburg went on to a 59-48 win. The margin of victory, 11 points, the same number worn by Brandon Gleason.@
In the year 2020, when Devin Gleason joins the Enosburg basketball team, he will be wearing the number 11, but for now it's the current bunch of hornets that are keeping Brandon Gleason's legacy going.

Sportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook All RSS Feeds
Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbooks) - With jockey Ramon Dominguez hospitalized after suffering a fractured skull, trainer Graham Motion and owner Team Valor International have named Joel Rosario as Animal Kingdom's jockey.
Rosario will be aboard the 2011 Kentucky Derby winner in the $300,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap on Saturday, Feb. 9. Animal Kingdom was ridden by Rafael Bejarano to a runner-up finish behind Horse of the Year Wise Dan last November in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Dominguez was set to take over riding the 5-year-old this year.
Animal Kingdom has been working out at Palm Meadows Training Center for his 2013 debut.

And Sand Becomes Glass
by Tsuki Yuuki
With time, heat, and pressure, coal becomes diamonds.
He'd learned that years ago, and remembered it after the Chuunin exam. He'd wondered if it was true, and had asked Temari. Still adjusting to him not being utterly vicious and homicidal, she'd looked at him strangely, then confirmed it was true.
Something so ugly and cheap turning into something so pretty and valuable was amazing.
Coal becomes diamonds. He wasn't coal, he'd told Temari.
No, she'd said, he wasn't. He was sand.
And sand? He'd asked. What about sand?
Coal becomes diamonds, she'd replied, and sand...
...Sand becomes glass.
Gaara smiled.

Oh, this isn't just about pets now! If they open things up I want NPCs! Who doesn't want a mini Garrosh or Jaina up there beating down the baddies?! I can totally see a For The Alliance group formed up so some hunter can tame Garrosh. All we need to know is how would the pet biscuits work on our tamed NPCs? :)

Being a Jeff Burton fan, I didn't understand why he took four tires on that last stop. Add a slow stop and he came out twelth (finished 10th).

Two tires, four tires and flat tires
By admin | March 21, 2010
By Richard Allen
As many races do, the Food City 500 at the Bristol Motor Speedway came down to tires. For that matter, tires played a major role over the course of the entire event.
On the last pit stop, which resulted in a restart with ten laps to go, Kurt Busch and his crew opted to change four tires as did Jimmie Johnson's #48 team. The cars of Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart were given only two tires in order to grab track position with such a short distance remaining. As it turned out, Johnson's four tire gamble paid off with a victory. At the same time, Busch's four tire gamble resulted in a 3rd place finish after the #2 car had dominated much of the race.
The first place team is in somewhat of an unenviable position in regard to late race cautions. If they take two tires then get passed by someone who took four they will be second guessed. If they choose four tires and lose track position they will be second guessed. The second scenario is what happened with Busch's team.
Johnson's crew chief, Chad Knaus, remarked after the race that his decision was an easy one. He figured his car would exit pit road somewhere between 4th and 8th spot but that the four new tires would provide enough traction to get around the drivers with two older tires.
As it turned out, the decision by Knaus proved to be the right call because Kenseth's restart was a poor one, which held Busch up long enough for Johnson to get ahead of the #2 Dodge and go on to victory.
Besides the debate over how many tires should be taken, tires were a factor in today's race in another way. Numerous cars blew right front tires throughout the day. And this is not the first weekend that has been true.
"I wouldn't mind one weekend without a blown tire,†Denny Hamlin remarked via twitter after the race. "So far we're three for five.â€
Kyle Busch also blew a right front which sent his car bouncing off the outside wall. However, the younger Busch did not immediately blame tire manufacturer Goodyear after his incident. "I blew the tire out because I've had to be on the brakes too much,†he said with disgust over his in-car radio.
Last race in Atlanta there were tire issues as well as numerous tires that had worn down to the cords during long runs. In some cases the excessive wear caused unscheduled pit stops. Tire failures also led to accidents on the AMS track as well.
Some of the tire issues were attributed to punctures in Atlanta. No doubt, the tire issues in Bristol will be blamed on poor setups.
Whatever the cause, the last two races on the Sprint Cup schedule raise many of the same questions on the same issues as have been discussed before in recent NASCAR history.
Are the teams pushing the envelope a bit too much on setups and creating their own tire problems? Kyle Busch's comment today indicates that is at least a possibility.
Are the tires provided by Goodyear not up to the challenge? We've heard Tony Stewart's thoughts on that possiblity before.
Is the Car of Tomorrow part of the problem? Since the car's inception there have been numerous races in which tires have been at issue.
The fact is, the last two races have been among the best non-restrictor plate races NASCAR has had in some time. There has been good competition and excitement. Part of the reason for that has to be that the tires are finally allowing for enough grip that drivers can race rather than just hold on. So, it would seem as though it is up to the teams to find a way to get their cars to work around the tire as long as the tire is providing competitive racing.
As I have said so many times before, if NASCAR would get away from all the sameness they mandate and let teams have more freedom in areas such as shocks, springs and other aspects of car setups it would make for better racing and would allow for getting the most out of the tires. Then, the drivers and crews could come up with the combinations to allow for speed and safety.
Tires are a huge part of racing. The last couple of weeks have seen some tire failures but there has also been good competition and strategy. Hopefully, the latter can continue.

I thought the tire debate was answered after the last race in Atlanta, lol. The answer, from the majority of the fans (likely those that hate HMS/affiliates of HMS) was that is was clearly the setups that those teams were using…
Fast forward to Bristol, HMS has no tire issues (save for the Biffle/Martin mess,but that wasnt a failed tire, just a flat tire from dumb driving), and Toyota seemed to have the most issues….now all of a sudden it is Goodyear….LMFAO
If it was Goodyear this week, it was Goodyear in Atlanta. If it was set us in Atlanta, then it was st ups at Bristol. We cant pick and choose the reason, based on which teams had tire issues, and which teams didnt

It wasn't the 2 or 4 tires that amazed me it was the fact that from 15 or so back took tires. Only 10 laps left, they're not all going to get by you. And if #15 stays out, the remaining cars on the lead lap are staying out too. Even more cars for those other guys to pass. In 10 laps. At Bristol.

Given the performance of multiple teams throughout the race that tried the two tire strategy, I think four tires was the right choice. Even if Kurt would have had the outside lane on the restart, I don't think two would have held off four. The tire that Goodyear brought showed that balance was a problem and left side wear, although not as catastrophic as some rights, was definitely a factor.
And, the crew chief always has the final say. If he chooses to listen to the driver, it's still his call.

A Web posting on an Internet community yesterday targeted a middle school history teacher who allegedly praised the resumption of U.S. beef imports.
The person who posted the allegation also gave out the teacher's name, school and cell phone number, urging others to gag the teacher by making protest calls to the teacher and the school.
Once the post was put on the community's forum, the school and teacher were inundated with angry calls and cursing text messages. The teacher canceled his cell phone service yesterday afternoon.
Comments blasting the teacher continued to be posted, but one anonymous individual urged that no harm come to the teacher, calling the accusation undemocratic cyber-terrorism.
A co-worker of the teacher said, "I read the allegation and it's completely unfounded. Nobody has bothered to check the truth. All they seem to focus on is attacking [the teacher]. We cannot teach anything to our students."
Another student at the school said, "Yes, the teacher talked about beef, but he did not support importing American beef. Our friends and other students admire him. He is an enthusiastic teacher. We're all shocked that this false accusation was posted on the Internet."
Hyeon Tae-soo, a sociology professor at Korea University in Seoul, said, "This personal attack and the ensuing witch hunt against a person's integrity is an unforgivable act. It's public abuse in the name of democracy."
Might as well have posted the whole article. If this kind of intimidation keeps up, are the netizens any different than the "monster" Japanese parents we read about last week, dictating school curriculum and policy via bullying? Ironically, this comes on the heels of huge protests celebrating Korea's democratic history and the commemoration of June 10th, comes as these protests are rendered as a matter of national survival and democratic expression, and comes as these beef imports are being represented as blatant disregard for the will of the people. This teacher's actions also contrast with the very vocal Korea Teachers' Union (KTU) and their unabashed anti-beef, anti-American agenda.
This is a lone reported case, so it's unwise to make sweeping generalizations about attacks against teachers, though I have no doubt that a teacher who does not toe the national company line will face severe consequences. Cyberbullying, though, is rather common around here, and Korean netizens can be a very wild, enthusiastic, irritable, inflammatory, and hateful bunch. Off the top of my head I recall them shutting down the FIFA website, driving a teenage girl to suicide, and driving a couple celebrities to suicide, to say nothing of the myriad campaigns to do something or other. On the topic of "witch hunts" we have, as Gusts of Popular Feeling reminds us, the Dog Poo Girl and English Spectrumgate. And on the topic of teachers being disciplined and canned for controversial beliefs, we remember Gerry Bevers, who was not rehired by his university after writing unpopular views about the Liancourt Rocks.
Given the power netizens and citizen journalists have around here to both represent and shape popular opinion, and even to infiltrate the mainstream media, I suspect this type of intimidation against teachers will be an increasingly popular trend. I was going to snidely comment that perhaps this teacher should learn to understand Korea's unique culture, but I couldn't fit it in anywhere. I do know that all of us are getting very interesting lessons in Korean culture throughout all of this, though.

The New York Rangers were once again sent looking for answers after their 4-1 to the Ottawa Senators Thursday night at Scotiabank Place.
After their 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night, the New York Rangers looked to come out and play the kind of hockey that put them atop the Eastern Conference.
The Rangers got off to a fast start when Ryan Callahan scored off a pass from Brad Richards less than five minutes into the game. The Rangers held the lead for just over a minute when Zack Smith fired a slap shot from the right circle passed Marty Biron. Nick Foligno gave the Senators the lead late in the first period after putting home a rebound from a shot by John O'Brien.
The Rangers put the pressure on the Senators in the second period but could not find a way to get the puck passed Sens goalie Ben Bishop. Bishop, who made 25 saves, came up big when he had to and kept Ottawa in the lead. The Rangers held the Senators to just seven shots through two periods.
In the third period the Rangers once again had their chances to tie the game but could not score. The Senators extended their lead with fourteen minutes left in the third period when Biron could not handle a wrist shot from Daniel Alfredsson, and Kyle Turris buried the rebound. The Rangers were slow getting back on defense, and allowed Turris to skate the length of the ice and put the Senators up 3-1. Jason Spezza added an empty net goal with 1:27 left to seal the win for the Sens.
The Rangers were held to one goal for the second straight game, both 4-1 losses, and have surrendered 11 goals in their last three.
The Rangers, whose division lead has shrunk to six points, will travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks Friday night. The Blackhawks beat the Rangers 4-2 on Feb. 16 in New York. The Senators will be home home against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.
