What a drag...

Yup, I'm leaving KHV. For good, probably not.

I'll probably post once in a while, but don't expect much. I've just lost the urge to post here, and people just seem more...heartless? That's probably just me, but...

Talk to y'all later...I guess.

Kaboom?

Holy shizzle. Did anyone else watch WWE on Monday?

Heh, Mr. McMahon's limo 'sploded. O.O I knew people hated the guy, but I didn't know they hated him THAT much...

He's deeaaaad. It sounded like nobody really gave a flying crap at the ECW yesterday either.

The Loch Ness; Fact or Fiction?

For years, people have been debating over the Loch Ness monster, which is rumored to live in one of Scotland's old lakes. Some people have been starting to believe it, after a few video records, and a couple of pictures that apparently show the monster's head out of the water, a few ripples here and there, whatever.

What do you think about the Loch Ness? I personally think it's pretty fake.

I third it!

You'd think people nowadays with super technology and all this other BS would have the brains to know when you have a super bad disease (no matter what the heck it is) to stay home, away from others...just to make sure you don't start another smallpox epidemic. But this proves how careless we can be anymore!

Wonderful.

Some people need to be SMART, and actually LISTEN to their doctors. They're THERE for a reason!

Wonderful.

In an effort to contain the spread of this often-lethal form of the disease known as XDR TB, health authorities are asking passengers who traveled on either flight (Air France Flight 385 from Atlanta to Paris on May 13 and Czech Air Flight 0104 from Prague to Montreal on May 24). to come forward for testing. Tuberculosis is an airborne bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs and is usually spread by people in close quarters. While rates of the disease are fairly low in the United States (fewer than 14,000 cases were reported last year), it is a leading health problem worldwideâ€”particularly for those with compromised immune systems. There were 1.6 million TB deaths in 2005 according to the World Health Organization.

NEWSWEEKâ€™s Eve Conant spoke with Dr. Carl Nathan, chairman of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College and a leading tuberculosis expert, about how the disease spreads and why lengthy quarantines may be the medical communityâ€™s best weapon against the most deadly strains. Excerpts:

NEWSWEEK: Most of us have heard of TB, but not of XDR-TB. What is that and how does one get it?

Carl Nathan: TB is usually a treatable disease, but youâ€™re often looking at more than six months of treatment with multiple drugs, which unfortunately is hard for a lot of people to manage. In many parts of the world people also may not have as much access to medicine and so they interrupt treatment. TB can be resistant to one or more drugs, the two most important are isoniazid and rifampin. If your body is resistant to these two drugs itâ€™s called multidrug resistant TB, or MDR-TB. XDR-TB comes when a person is resistant to those drugs, to another important group of drugs called fluoroquinolones, and to all injectable drugs. So thereâ€™s very little left to do for them. This is a very serious problem.

What are a personâ€™s chances of surviving XDR-TB?

For someone with XRD-TB, the full-blown disease, the fatality rate is very high as there is very little to be done about it. Itâ€™s potentially untreatable and a great public health concern. There are an estimated 450,000 cases per year of MDR-TB with a fatality rate of 67 percent. This resembles the situation before there were any drugs for TB, leading up to 1950 when there was a 50 percent fatality rate. This is made even worse by the fact that so many people with MDR-TB are also HIV-positive, making it even more lethal. XDR-TB is the worst of all, itâ€™s already been reported in 17 countries and is estimated to be 10 percent of all MDR cases. This means there are 45,000 people with XDR-TB worldwide. The fatality rate isnâ€™t exactly clear yet, but the Lancet reported that in a South African population of 53 people with XDR-TB, 52 died. The median survival time after diagnosis was 16 days.

Are airline passengers particularly vulnerable?

The risk factor really comes from sharing air. If you look at an airplane, like the case now, youâ€™ll find that the infection rate of people who are potentially exposed is actually quite low. There was a similar case in 1996 reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, but the person in question had MDR-TB. It was found that a traveler with MDR-TB seemed more likely to infect a person if on a flight more than 8.5 hours, and only those people nearest to them. So infection didnâ€™t come through the recirculated air, but through direct exchange. There was a 6 percent infectivity rate among passengers. Thatâ€™s encouraging, thatâ€™s not everyone on the plane.

Well, this is wonderful. Now we have a drug resistant TB to worry about...with a 67% death rate. The doctors told this idiot who had the disease not to travel, but he had to anyway.

Kingdom Hearts Characters are Stranded On An Island (rpg)

"Axel likes me in more ways than one?...That's kinda creepy..." Roxas inched away from Axel slowly.

"Oh well." He pulled out his black Nintendo DS, and inserted Pokemon Pearl into the slotty-thingy.
