Stage 6 shutting down

There are a lot of other details involved, but at the end of the day it’s really as simple as that.

With Fidel Gone, Will Cuba Become a Global Ethanol Player?

Fidel Castro hates ethanol. He thinks it punishes the poor by driving up food prices. But Cuba produces a lot of sugar, and with Fidel's brother Raul -- a fan of biofuels -- calling the shots (at least for the time being), Cuba could become a key player in the global ethanol game.

zi, zau! :)
o alta zona in care Cuba e foarte tare este medicina.

scapa de 'la revolucion' si in 10-15 ani o sa planga 50% din Miami ca vor inapoi acasa.

Manga in Romania

Romanian Rhapsody
Cory Doctorow

[...]The artwork in the individual panels veered from traditional Japanese manga to surreal, "adult" images seemingly lifted from the French classic magazine Métal Hurlant to stuff that could have come from the pages of the latest Marvel comic. The text, too, was a glorious linguistic salmagundi, mostly Romanian, but with English, French and Japanese phrases sprinkled liberally throughout.[...]

Social networking site, MySpace.com, panders to religious intolerants by deleting atheist users, groups and content.

Early this month, MySpace again deleted the Atheist and Agnostic Group (35,000 members). This deletion, due largely to complaints from people who find atheism offensive, marks the second time MySpace has cancelled the group since November 2007.
