NIU/Castro

The whole NIU thing is really scary and I never thought it would happen around here until it did. Especially since I know a couple people at NIU. My brother said that his student teacher in math was shot during the shootings and is critically injured, and she was the girlfriend of that Dan guy who got killed and she since she is unconcious she doesn't even know that he is dead. That is just so sad.
I was really suprised that Fidel Castro stepped down and gave the throne to his brother. Is there a reason why he stepped down, or did he randomly do it? or did I miss something? I don't think anything is going to change the relationship between the US and Cuba until Fidel is dead because I still think Fidel is going to be telling his brother what to do or something sketchy like that.
