SARs stands for Severe acute respiratory syndrome. Despite massive media attention and hype, SARs has only infected 8042 people to date and only 772 of them have resulted in death (therefore having a mortality rate of 9.6%)
The symptoms of SARs are flu like and death is caused by respiratory failure.
The human body can actually normally fight off the disease if breathing support is given, however as the disease was first discovered in Southern Asia, lack of understanding and medical care was what caused the majority of the deaths.
Despite SARs disappearing and causing very few deaths, the short media induced panic damaged the tourist trade of many Southern Asian countries significantly.

A senior English research project (also known as a Senior Disseration or Senior Thesis) designed to drive the said Graduating class to the brink of insanity. The process of the Career Search revolves around the chosen career you are going into or are planning on going into once you graduate from your alma mater.
The process is very frustating and very confusing to an extent; it consists of an introduction, review of literature you find on your topic (usually five internet and print sources are required); a 'shadowing' experience (when you go off to a distant place, miss a day of important classtime, and possibly not even <i>find</i> anything on your topic), and an interviews section, along with a Works Cited (Bibliography) page. The researching portion for your Review of the Literature usually consists of a grueling six weeks (or two thirds of a nine-weeks) period, in which one will search desperately through several Department of Labor study books and useless webrings to try and find information on your career, only to come up empty handed.
Once your Research of literature and whatnot is completed, you move on to do your 'Shadowing' experience, and your interviews. Your 'Shadowing' consists of a seven-eight hour experience where you pick someone in your chosen profession and literally follow them around all day (hence the term Shadowing). You're meant to try and learn something from this experience, however, such is not always the case, especially when you're set up to shadow someone in your career that doesn't even want you following them around. Interviews are simply periods when you sit down with a person, call them on the phone, or e-mail them to ask them questions; four of these types of Human Sources are required for your paper, but typically you may end up drawing duds on some of them and end up with two or three.
All in all, the process takes up to twelve weeks of time, usually beginning in the second quarter of your first semester and wrapping up just in time for the pressure of your midterm examinations to swoop down upon you like a rabid beast and feast on your now dead, festering soul.

By far the most talented and musically adept Metal Band to not ever be signed to a major label. They made songs that were featured frequently in UFC, and their fanbase was huge in Florida, but they still haven't received the recognition they deserve for all of their music. Although mainstream music primarily consists of Emo crap, Poser Metal, and Rap, Scars of Life should have made it mainstream. They broke up in 2005, after lead singer Kyle Shapiro had lost his taste in music. They are, were, and always will be the most greatest Metal Band to never make it Mainstream. Don't know WHAT THE FUCK I'm talking about? Check them out for yourself at: Audiostreet.net, scarsoflife.com, wikipedia (no songs, just more links and a way more in depth non-opinionated biography)

Get the Scarsdale mug.a damn "talent" search for divas in the WWE. It basically has a bunch of untalented sluts bidding for a contract with WWE.
Paris Hilton has about as much singing talent as a WWE Diva Search competitor has wrestling talent, which is not very much.
