Rat or Monkey?

Which one is closer to humans?

So wouldn't it be logical for scientist to see the reactions of certain elements on a monkey oppose to a rat? All the poisons and healing drugs that is patented are experimented on rats? I'm thinking that the medicine empire has a few scientists on the payroll.
Science is a brick in societies wall of knowledge. The way science is used is what we as humans have to examine thoroughly. Funded research has a probability of being bias one way or the other. Not saying that all funded research is tainted but without integrity and compassion from the scientist, outcomes could be persuade.
All I am saying is that if a science research was done on both a rat and a monkey, I would lean more to the monkey outcome versus the rat outcome.

The Cost of Greeducation

Do Universities have the right to all the monies generated by it's student-athletes?
As far back as I can remember I've always heard of situations of Universities suspending athletes for receiving money for any purpose and being told that they couldn't maintain full time jobs. I've always heard of boosters giving money to young athletes to try and steer them to their school. If not money then gifts where either given to them or to their families. Winning programs generate money.
People love to be entertained so sports and competition is usually chosen the most. So a couple of real good players can make a bottom-line look great, which in turns allows pay increase, new facilities, and a little prestige that is outside of education.
The cost of education today is increasing and loan interests or also increasing. Universities are sucking up all the money and not spitting out a dime to student-athletes to atleast maintain at a minimum existence.

In the recent University of Miami scandal, about the alum that allowed star athletes to benefit off of him to attend the "U", is just an example of how a student is gonna do what it takes to maintain. A great player is going to play where he can benefit the most. More wins makes more televised games. Universities generate all that money off the sweat of students athletes and expect them to survive with the strict rules of the school. Many students receive food stamps from the government.

Do you think student-athletes should get paid?

Georgetown v.s. China FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The men's basketball team at Georgetown college participated in a goodwill trip to China to play in a few scrimmages during their off season. While playing the Bayi Rockets on Thursday a violent brawl broke out on the court, forcing the game to be ended early.
The players were gathered on the court throwing chairs and exchanging blows as the crowd looked on in horror. Georgetown coach John Thompson III pulled his players into the locker room with 9 minutes to spare and the game tied at 64.

A Whale Trapped

This 30 ton whale was caught in a river during low tide and it's stuck there to die. It is estimated to be $60K plus to help this whale out of the river. Ft. Bragg is the closest base, about two hours away, which needs the use of military choppers because of the weight of the whale.

Michele Bachmann Wins the Iowa Straw Poll

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann surprisingly has won the 2011 Iowa Straw Poll. The Straw Poll sheds light on the favorite for the front runner of the Republican party. Doesn't mean that it's a sure shot for Bachmann, but right now she sits in the "pole position" in this race. At one time they labeled Michele Bachmann as psycho by the statements she has made in the past. Thinking that people of African descent had life better during slavery then the present day. Now that's a crazy statement. Lately reporters have been going hard on Michele Bachmann and really busting her chops. Asking questions that put her on the spot and making her pause before she replies.
Michele Bachmann has an uphill battle against Romney and Pawlenty regardless of her winning the Iowa Polls. Bachmann represents the "Tea Party" movement. Their movement is to reduce gov. in spending and assure the nation's debt would not increase.

Does Congresswoman Michele Bachmann really have a chance of winning the GOP nomination?
