reaction
Now, it is so cool and some cold in Korea. So there are so many patients with h1f1. Till now, dead men are aapproximately 34, and many chldren are sick with h1f1, so many school are closed temporary. I'm so afraid of my babies' healthy, and I do want know U.S.A'policy with H1F1. and so I seached it. I found a few articles, there are so bad news. I'm disappointed.
Anyway, I want my babies to be healty, I'll be more careful. I must look up local flu outbreaks, call a hospital when they give a shot, must keep our babies' hand clean.

summary
H1N1 flu to-do (and don't do) list
1. Look up local flu outbreaks.
If you're getting most of your news from the Internet -- and about 40 percent of people say they do -- you may not be up on H1N1 activity in your community.
2. Don't panic.
For most people, an H1N1 infection is generally mild and can be cured with time, bed rest, and fluids. The virus is serious, though -- particularly for those in high-risk groups.
3. Stay home.
Are you sick right now? Say, with flu-like symptoms such as fever, aches, stuffy nose, and chills? Sorry, but it's quite possible you already have swine flu. Experts say that flu activity is higher-than-normal for this time of year and almost all of it is due to H1N1. If you (or your child) are not in a high-risk group, it's best to stay put.
4. Understand the risks.
While the symptoms of H1N1 may be no different from seasonal flu, there are some key differences. H1N1 may be easier to catch than regular flu, and younger people may be more likely to come down with it than older people.
5. Get a pneumonia vaccine.
the pneumonia vaccine, a shot that can help prevent any illness caused by certain types of pneumococcus bacteria, including meningitis and ear infections, may be a good idea too.
6. Wash your hands.
7. Don't stock up on face masks or Tamiflu
8. Get a swine flu vaccine -- really.
If you or your child is perfectly healthy, you can get the nose-spray version, which contains a weakened, but not killed, virus. Unfortunately, if you're in a high-risk group, you may have to wait a bit for the version with killed virus, which is given in shot form. Those should be available in mid- to late-October
9. Be prepared
"Get immunized, wash your hands, cover your mouth and nose if you're sneezing or coughing, stay home if you're sick, and if any warning signs come up -- difficulty breathing, not responsive as usual, unable to take fluids, or after a day or two of the fever coming down and having more fever and cough again -- see the doctor," says Litman.

News of choice #1 Why do we demand only idol star to have patiotism?

A month ago, I heard strange news that a idol star was blame for his private, and critical word of korean. When he said critical word, he was so young.
But a month ago his fault was reaveled, every korean foud that, he was blamed, finally he must retire his job.
At that time I was very busy because I prepared to move to U.S.A. I just herad that news, and I thought it's not fair and really funny and sad. Of course he made a mistake. Bur why do we demand only idol star to have patriotism? Usually we must demand politician to have more powerful patriotism. But we easily forgive politician's fault and want to believe them. I'm so mad and sad. As Jae-bum, so many politician must retire. And we must do only right.

Today I looked in korean news on internet, I found his theseday life.
I don't want to see another Jae-bum. I want Korean to be fair.

A new television program of KBS-2TV "Toward the Sunday Night," will feature Jae-beom, who withdrew from the top boy band 2PM due to his critical remarks about Korea.

Producers of the program said on Thursday, "One month after this promising idol star left Korea, we met him in Seattle for the first time."

"Though we met him in person and requested an interview, Jae-beom refused, saying he could not give any comment at the present moment. Instead, we could cover how he was getting along in the United States. He showed up at a B-boy competition and talked to his friends." they added.

The TV show will cover both current issues and social phenomena in fresh perspective.

"Toward the Sunday Night" will make its debut at 11:35 p.m. on Oct. 25.

Jae-beom left the seven-member boy band 2PM due to controversy surrounding critical remarks against Korea.

His criticism -- which was posted in English four years ago on his personal MySpace account -- was revealed and spread on the internet last month, arousing huge controversy in the nation.

Jae-beom, who was leader of the boy band, announced that he would quit 2PM, and left Korea on Sept. 8 for Seattle, where his family is residing

dirt! Why did he do that?

Maximus let dirt fall through his finger.
Why did he do that?

I think that action is very important symbol.
Maximus' soldier were just farmer before war. Of course so was he.
Every farmer loves dirt, and they know what dirt mean.
Dirt is origin of life, for farmers dirt is his wealth.

That action also means to return home after victory of this war.

So Maximus did that.
