Surgeon General also said that the medical examination of other patients and the hospital staff, whom patient M. may have contacted, did not return any positive results to A/H1N1 antibodies. As a result, Onishchenko said that Mr. Lvovs statement on national television was 'an act of informational terrorism.'

It is never about how good your voice is;
it is only about feeling the urge to sing, and then having the courage to do it with the voice you are given.

Expect and do

Direct, focus and sustain your actions with your expectations. Make your expectations come to life with your actions.

Your efforts are more effective when they're driven by positive expectations. Your expectations exert the most powerful influence when they're backed up by consistent action.

Expectations without actions amount to little more than empty wishes. Actions without specific, positive expectations will fail to achieve the desired result.

Expect the best of yourself and others. Then do what it takes to actually achieve the best.

Let your expectations be the driving, directing force behind your actions. And take the committed, persistent actions that will achieve what you expect to achieve.

India's first lunar mission has found evidence of large quantities of water on its surface, The Times newspaper said.

The discovery has opened the door for possible moon bases being established, with astronauts taking advantage of the water on the surface.

After further analysis is done, the next task for scientists will be to figure out how to exploit the water to move towards an international lunar base, director of the International Lunar Exploration Working Group Bernard Foing told MSNBC.

NASA's website says it will hold a media briefing to "reveal new scientific findings about the moon" from data collected during national and international space missions".

George:
So that's that.
Easy huh?!
Tell those stupid people that ... now that India discovered water, we can "go" to the moon and no one will notice anything.
We, NASA, never ever discovered water on the moon; not in 1969, not in 1970, 72, 73 ...
No, we didn't MISS it.
No, we didn't overlook the fact their could be water on whatever frickin planet?! No.
We just FORGOT to mention it ... atya
The search of water: mankinds great quest.
And we simply forgot to tell ya.
In your face.
Oh BTW: didn't we tellya we found Water on Mars?
Well, we're about to ... soon ...
But first collect some more taxmoney and then even more ... coz now we can go to the moon!
You can see that now don't ya? How important that is for us.
Coz of any war or whatever fear we put on you, we must be able to flee! To the moon.
And we need money for that! Your money ... so give it to us, you stupid ignorant sleepers!

Just speaking my mind folks, cheer up and have fun!

Laugh about it as much as you can and don't let 'them' piss you off.
There is no THEM anyway. It's ALL ONE.
