This is the time to have some extra money.
If you have extra money BUY STOCKS!!!!
Why are people so afraid to buy at times like this. Buy low, well high. This is low-time people!!! Just don't buy bank stock :) |

Ah. Day 14 of work today. Wasn't that much, but went into the office to get going on $1000 worth of expense reports, that I wouldn't mind getting paid for.
So happy to be home, but also so sick. Never had a head cold quite this bad before, but it will be gone in a matter of time!
Driving in Portland is so crazy. All the one way streets and then you are driving and all of a sudden a train is behind you. Wasn't sure what to do, so just acted like normal...I think that is what I was supposed to do?!
Love this video. Love The Lonley Island, which you can totally tell this did this! |

XDR-TB is the abbreviation for extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis, also called extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. One in three people in the world is infected with dormant TB germs. Only when the bacteria become active do people become ill with TB. Bacteria become active as a result of anything that can reduce the person’s immunity, such as HIV, advancing age or some medical conditions.
TB can usually be treated with a course of four standard, or "first-line," anti-TB drugs. If these drugs are misused or mismanaged, multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) can develop. MDR-TB takes longer to treat, and requires "second-line" drugs that are more expensive and have more side effects. XDR-TB can develop when these second-line drugs are also misused or mismanaged and become ineffective. Treatment options for XDR-TB are seriously limited. ...

A lot of people were coughing on my bus this morning. That's the worst--being stuck in an enclosed space thinking about all the germs floating through the air. I haven't been sick since last year. It's time to start taking more vitamins and washing my hands as if I have an obsessive-compulsive disorder. |

When September Ends: This week marks the final week of September, and with P!nk holding down the #1 spot for a third consecutive week, a very interesting event has occurred. New female artist September is held to the #2 spot for the 4th consecutive week. In fact, September has been at #2 every week this September. September is not the first month named artist or song to chart, but no month related song has had such a presence in its namesake month before. Can September rule the chart and move to #1 come October? Christina Aguilera and Jordin Sparks are moving to make sure September's reign at the #2 spot ends when the month does.
Chart for Week Ending September 28th [Last Week's Chart]
#1 So What - P!nk
#2 Cry For You - September
#3 Keeps Getting Better - Christina Aguilera
#4 One Step At A Time - Jordin Sparks
#5 Disturbia - Rihanna

He is the winner of the 2007 TED Prize, awarding him $100,000 and one wish to change the world. This was his wish: "I'm working on a story that the world needs to know about. I wish for you to help me break it in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digital age."
