btw does it strike any USians as odd that Russia Today seems to be the best source for US news?

The major networks have an agenda and anyone who doesn't think so needs to get their rectal inversion syndrome checked out. Two or three different groups broke it all at the same time, a couple of citizen journal blogs, I think infowars(which was linked on drudge), and a local conservative talk radio show 620? 580? something like that I can't remember where it was or the frequency who got tipped by someone who was on the flight.

Why look, it's KOTOR2 on steam...
Cool, I lost my physical copy at some point and wanted another playthrough. And in a nice coincidence it's come out less than a month after the Sith Lords Restored Content Mod was finished.

Technology doesn't replace due diligence. Nature is not tamed yet.

Her biggest problem when she walked in the doors? Usually to start cracking peoples heads and getting them to wash their hands. The second, was to not scratch their ass while on the job.
Reality is, they live in all hospitals, and these bacteria KILL because hospital staff allows them to by their own negligence

The blinking function happens automatically on stop lights when they malfunction or lose power. I know where I live all the lights are monitored remotely these days so if there is a malfunction or a problem no one needs to call it in. Ours even have traffic monitoring cameras on pretty much every light here in town. They use these cameras to monitor the traffic flow and adjust the timing of the lights based on it. Apparently this is not the case with that light where you live.
How Scientists Stopped Klebsiella Pneumoniae:
The woman went into strict isolation: Everyone entering her room donned a protective gown and gloves and rigorously washed their hands. Her medical equipment got special decontamination. All other patients in the ICU had their throats and groins tested regularly to see if the bug was spreading.

Update: The lead author, David Gilichinsky passed away on 18 February, just two days before his final paper was published.
