Antibiotics... Do we need a change?

Antibiotics have been around for a long time. I dont think anyone can really remember a time without them.  Wealthy countries take for granted the antibiotics because they can use the most strong ones to fight off the bacteria. But does this really work now? Studies have shown that over 100,000 people have died from bacteria resistant to our antibiotics. Over the years we have grown an immunity to these antibiotics and even have found new and developing diseases that could potentially kill us. To prevent resistance from developing, doctors are encouraged to conserve the newest, most powerful antibiotics, using them only in the most necessary of circumstances. While this preserves the drug’s value as a treatment option, it also means that sales will be slowest when a compound is new, and will pick up only toward the end of its patent life, when it can easily be supplanted by cheaper generic brands.


I hope that they find more cures and antiobiotics for everyone. I dont think its fair that they keep it from people to only use in the most necessary situations. Every year over 100,000 people die from bacteria resistance? Well then what are our doctors doing? What about the scientists? Aren't they supposed to be figuring out new cures for everything especially ones that could potentially harm alot of people. I sure hope to see some new antibiotics come out to help all of the sick people!

Britney Spears's Boyfriend....Nice or Not so nice?

It has been announced that Britney Spears recent boyfriend Jason has hit her and not just on one occasion. There has been pictures where you can tell that she had a black eye. But the question still remains.. was it her new beau? Her former husband Jason Alexander has reported that it is not the first time. He is alerting the media, not for the "large check" he recieved, but for how concerned this is making him for Brit. STAR is being sued for Libel because Britney believes that what they said were both untrue and hurtful. Apparently Alexander has an audio with spears telling him about this. So what shall they do now?

   I'll tell yah what they should do. I think that the magazine STARR should stay out of Britneys personal life. If she doesnt want to let anyone know what is going on then let her be. Yes its bad to think she is getting hit, but really? If i was in her position I would get up and leave the man.

Bomb Threat at School?

     I was recently informed about a bomb threat that Western Technical College Had this morning. A person carved "Bomb Threat" into the smoke detector in the boys bathroom. Everybody got evacuated from the Colemann Center and went into the Kumm Center while they searched the Coleman Center for the bomb. This was at 9:00 am this morning and I was lucky to be sleeping in the residence hall while this happened so I didn't have to deal with all the chaos.
    I personally think that someone did it to get out of class. I don't understand how people can be so stupid, it is totally to get out of class. If something like this occurs I don't think that we should have classes because what if they actually weren't kidding and just wanted people to think that? Then plenty of people's lives would be in jeopardy. I hope that it doesnt happen again cause that is not something to joke about!
