Are you sick and tired of the BCS? Do you want to see a change in the format? Do you feel like ESPN has too much power, that they sway the tide so to speak a little too much? The free ride for the Big Ten and Pac 10 must come to an end. We the fans deserve a better system, and the BCS must go.

Needle Time


Went today and got my TYPHOID and HEPATITIS B shots. Felt so good.

The single-dose injectable vaccine (Typhim Vi) containing capsular polysaccharide antigen became available in February, 1995. The protection offerred by this vaccine is effective starting 2 weeks after injection and should last for 2 years. Subsequent booster doses are recommended at 2-year intervals. This vaccine can be used in children as young as 2 years old. Side effects, while greater than those of the oral vaccine, are much less than those experienced with the old 2-dose injectable vaccine.

The hepatitis B vaccination is a noninfectious, yeast-basedvaccine given in three injections in the arm. It is prepared fromrecombinant yeast cultures, rather than human blood or plasma.Thus, there is no risk of contamination from the bloodbornepathogens nor is there any chance of developing HBV from thevaccine.
