      This map breaks down the poverty in rural counties by race or nationality. African Americans have the highest number in poverty especially in the rural communities. Hispanics are the next, then Indians and I am assuming that Cuacasians stand for other. Irony.

  • With installed wind capacity growing at 30 percent over the past few years, it is an entirely realistic goal to for wind to provide 12 percent of the world's energy by 2020.  Along the way, this would create two million jobs, and save more than 10,700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

Stopping Africa's medical brain drain -- Johnson 331 (7507): 2 -- BMJ - 0 views

shared by jcoop11 on 30 May 07 - Cached
  • Only 60 of the 500 doctors trained in Zambia since independence are still there.4 Mozambique has only 500 doctors for a population of 18 million.5
  • Any number of incentives have been tried to persuade doctors to remain in or return to their countries of origin—enhanced salaries, better pensions, cars, and housing allowances. Ethical recruitment codes may make us feel that we occupy the moral high ground. But, as long as the rich countries have plenty of vacancies, the flow of healthcare professionals from South to North will continue.
