I bet that Gustavo Santaolalla - Deportation/Iguazu is one of the most used pieces of music in films

Whenever I am feeling down I know that I can always tune in to these people making silly faces. They turn my frown upside down.

Once again I have found myself amazed at Nachtwey's skill and critical eye. The pictures certainly do this justice.

XDR-TB was totally preventable. It still may be. There is a crucial point where it will stop being so. There will be no cure. The only way to avoid this is to mass-produce the drug to cure TB, and ensure that every person diagnosed receives the proper dosage. This strain formed by people not finishing their antibiotics because they felt better. Now more are dying.

Darthsherrow, what do you do when you are sick ?
Bet you go to a dokter. So would everybody when there was one.
Think about that for one hour and then review your ridiculous statement.
