Don't judge the artistic merits of a print by what it sells for in some hyped-up auction or show market. The two things aren't directly related. Asking prince is 1)related to what they think they will
get away with; 2)related to supply and demand; 3)more about the autograph on the image and its
collectibility than often the image itself. Just look at the prices demanded for kindergarten-techniqe and archivally worthless Cindy Sherman prints. When Ansel died, a Moonrise print went at aution for
40K, another for 60K, then one well over 100K. But he printed something like 350 of them! Not exactly rare. So all of a sudden the market was flooded and the prices were back down to around
15K, right at the price where you could have walked right into a dealer and bought one all along,
or even for less, when he was still alive! Never underestimate the appeal of conspicuous consumption
when it comes to what people will pay for art.

Caterpillar Plays Jenga With 600-Pound Blocks And Massive Machines
The heavy equipment brand creates its own unique version of the popular game.
When Leslie Scott launched Jenga at the London Toy Fair in 1983, chances are this isn't what she had in mind. As part of its ongoing "Built For It" campaign, heavy equipment brand Caterpillar and agency Ogilvy & Mather New York took five of its machines, including an excavator and a telehandler, and set up what must be the world's biggest game of Jenga.
The set-up is made of 27 blocks, weighing in at 600 pounds each. It's an impressive feat, though any seasoned player could've told them they started taking from the bottom a bit too early. Here's hoping they do Mouse Trap next.
Watch the behind-the-scenes video below.

Representative Peter Welch (Democrat, Vermont and, by the way, my representative) has announced that he is in favor of raising the tax on gasoline. He has a safe seat and, anyway, in Vermont it isn't politically dangerous to propose a tax increase, especially if it can be somehow made into a positive for jobs and infrastructure and a negative for automobiles and oil companies. Vermont is eagerly anticipating the arrival of cars that are powered by wind.
Meanwhile, there are people who must drive. For whom gasoline is not a discretionary item on the budget. They will have to cut back on organic arugula.
The argument for the tax is that the highway trust fund is "running out of money." This seems odd, since a tax of more than 18 cents a gallon remains in place and the money it captures (which must be quite a bit) goes into this fund. There are probably a lot of things that could be done with that money, especially if it were spent with the kind of discipline of which government is incapable.
What "running out of money" means in Washington is that there isn't enough of it to do all things that Congress would like to do. Things that will result in ... reelection for incumbents.
So, when the time of "running out of money" is very near and shadows fall across the land, Washington begins threatening a loss of jobs and lousy roads.
It has learned that if you want to make them come across with the money, you must first make them feel a little pain.
Works every time.
Another day, another national crisis. Yesterday it was immigration and another threat/promise to go it alone.

In this week's issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD I have a long feature on how America's hipster theme park Portland, Oregon, destroyed its infrastructure and jobs base in order to indulge a bizarre obsession with public transportation and other cultural fetishes. Among other things, I noted that the city isn't budgeting for "major road paving" for the next five years.
For most Americans—make that most of mankind—the car is an instrument of mobility, flexibility, and speed. Yet officials in Washington, transportation experts, state and local functionaries, planners, and transit officials are puzzled why their efforts to lure people from their cars continue to fail.
In 2008 the Virginia Department of Transportation began work adding a fourth lane to the six-mile stretch of I-95 between the Springfield interchange and the exit for Virginia State Road 123. This is likely of very little consequence to you, but it was a life-changing moment for me: I live not far from State Road 123. And my daily commute along that stretch of I-95 had been slowly killing everything that was once good inside me.

Women's Basketball
'Jacks rebound from Monroe loss, beat Middlesex women
Molock's 16 leads four Chesapeake players in double figures in 64-55 triumph
COLUMBIA Armed with reinforcements, Chesapeake College bounced back from Friday's 85-55 women's basketball loss to Monroe Community College to defeat Middlesex Community College, 64-55, Saturday night.
The Skipjacks, who dressed just five players for the Monroe contest, added two new players from the college's softball team Becky English and Courtney Aubel - just in time for Saturday's game. That reserve strength, along with a balanced scoring attack led by Ashley Molock's team-high 16 points, gave the Skipjacks a split of their season-opening appearance in the Howard Community College mixer.
"I was pretty pleased with the offense," said first-year Skipjacks head coach Damon Nichols, who played and coached in Chesapeake's men's basketball program prior to accepting the women's head coaching position last spring. "We'll be a better team when they get the defensive philosophy down."
Dee Farlow scored 15 points, Amber Sullivan added 14, and Melonie Jones contributed 11 as four Skipjacks reached double figures against Middlesex. English, without the benefit of a practice with her new team, added seven points.
"She (English) helped us out a lot, especially being her first game and not knowing our offense," said Nichols.
Monroe (N.Y.) College 85, Chesapeake 55
COLUMBIA Jessica Previlon had a game-high 24 points and seven rebounds, and Alexis Sprewell added a double-double with 12 points and 10 boards as Monroe wore down the short-handed Skipjacks.
"They (Monroe) were very good," said Chesapeake head coach Damon Nichols. "Our girls competed until fatigue got to them, and Monroe took over from there."
Melonie Jones scored a team-high 21 points and added six rebounds to pace Chesapeake. Skipjack Amber Sullivan chipped in with 14 points and a team-high seven rebounds, and teammate Ashley Molock also reached double figures with 13 points.
The Skipjacks host Harcum College Tuesday at 5 p.m. as part of a women's-men's basketball doubleheader.

RAVENNA, Ky. (WKYT) - Several buildings had to be evacuated Sunday afternoon after a gas leak in Estill County.
Emergency Management officials say the gas leak occured on Main Street in Ravenna. They say they had to evacuate half a block on either side of the building as a precaution.
It all started at a local veterinary hospital in Estill County and crews evacuated about two dozen people, including families attending a church service nearby.
"It scared everybody pretty good. And some of them had kids downstairs and they were trying to get down there to get them and everything. It worked out alright," said Arthur Ballard, who was involved in the evacuation.
No cars were allowed on the roadways near the leak and residents were asked to avoid the area for several hours while they worked to repair it.
We're told everyone is safe and can return to the area.

Financial Regulation – Biased against Clean Energy and Green Infrastructure?
Much has been written about the policies required to make clean energy attractive for investors. However, in many cases, even when supportive policies are in place, results have been mixed, with limited uptake unless risk adjusted returns are extremely – some would say overly – generous. This discussion paper identifies a number of areas in which the regulation of investment itself, rather than policy relating to underlying assets, companies or technologies may be holding back the flow of investment.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - The Tates Creek football team is primed for a big season in 2013. The Commodores graduated their top running back Dennis Oxendine, but return a host of other players.
Coach Mike Harmon says the team returns the majority of players on both sides of the ball and should be a couple players deep at every position. The Commodores also have three quarterbacks that could see playing tie. Harmon says the team has tons of experience but hasn't won a lot of games. His team will have to figure out how to get over that hump in 2013.

American Exceptionalism and the United States Prison Population
There has been a lot of debate in the media in the past year, or so, about American Exceptionalism. Put simply, American Exceptionalism is the idea that the United States of America is fundamentally different than other nations. The idea was popular during the midterm elections as a way for Republicans to try to show that they love America more than the President. It's perhaps more interesting to argue about that than the details of health insurance regulation.
I recently took my son to Philadelphia, to the National Constitution Center. The museum starts with a seventeen minute live action play about our Constitution. It's hard not to buy into the idea and ideal of American Exceptionalism in Philadelphia. If there's a reason to think we're different, and better, surely it has it's roots in what happened in that city. (That said, a bit of distance to reflect on the idea of [insert nation here] exceptionalism may simply reveal that it isn't meaningfully different than patriotism).
I do think America is qualitatively different than other countries. I agree with a form of American Exceptionalism in three ways. First, I think this country, unique among others, celebrates and encourages people to carve their own path in life. Americans innovate and rally and strive. In a deeply unquantitative and unscientific way, I think Americans do that more than other people. That's to be applauded.
Regrettably, America is exceptional in a second, more numerically verifiable way. We have more people in prison than any other nation on the planet. That's not in relative numbers, but in absolute ones. We have 2.3 million people in prison, compared with China's 1.6 million. Considering that China is four times the size of the United States, and is not, ahem, freedom loving, that's stunning.
I have close relationships with a number of prosecutors, and, at times, I'll ask them about their work. The question I come back to is this - If the United States locks up more people than any other country on the planet, what does that same about America? Are our citizens uniquely inclined toward criminal activity? Are we, as a people, more deserving of prison time?
I don't think that's the answer. I think we can accept that it can be the answer (we're not Australia, after all). Rather, I think the answer, as David Simon has argued, is that the war on drugs has been a war on poor people. Though I don't think a prosecutor is allowed to agree (unless he or she thinks it's ok for a country to declare war on poor people, which is a separate problem).
Rather, I think a third kind of American Exceptionalism explains how prosecutors react to our unconscionably high number of prisoners. Years ago, I went to a talk by then Chief-Justice Rehnquist. He was explaining that he was in Finland, meeting with the Attorney General of that country. He asked her if the Supreme Court of Finland has the power to declare an act of parliament against the law in Finland. The Attorney General consulted with her advisors and said that they could, but never had.
To Rehnquist, this answer illuminated a key difference between Americans and the rest of the world - it is unthinkable for an American to have power and not test it's limits. We are, according to our late Chief Justice, a power-hungry people.
I have talked to a number of prosecutors, and I can see the lure of the position. One can walk into a lot of opportunities from a U.S. Attorney's Office. But I don't know one yet who I've heard offer a thoughtful response to how dramatically out of whack our prison population is with the rest of the world. I can see, though, how Rehnquist could offer an explanation why people who increase our prison population don't stop to think much about its size.

text: Inside Stephen King's Writing-Obsessed Family Just one member is not an author By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Jul 31, 2013 1:34 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (16) (Newser) – In Stephen King's immediate family, just one member is not a professional writer. King's wife, both of his sons, and his daughter-in-law all have published books to their names; his daughter, the outlier, is a Unitarian Universalist minister. An extensive New York Times Magazine profile on the family calls it America's "first family of letters," noting that writing is the "family business." As kids, Naomi King, Joe Hill, and Owen King passed the time by reading books out loud to their father and each other, discussing literature, critiquing each other's work, and playing storytelling games. Joe, at the ripe old age of 11, started writing two hours every single day (weekends and holidays included), just like his dad. Even daughter-in-law Kelly Braffet, who married Owen, grew up an obsessive Stephen King fan. The profile takes a look at each member individually: Tabitha King, who was her husband's biggest support during his early, struggling years as a writer and who threatened to kick him out years later if he didn't kick his addictions first; Naomi, who was born with an adrenaline deficit and thus can't truly appreciate her father's horror novels; Joe, who took a pseudonym and didn't even reveal his true identity to his agent for eight years, in order to stay out of his dad's shadow; Owen, who has no interest in writing horror because his dad's many movies left him a bit "squeamish"; Kelly, who says she was too nervous to speak in front of her idol and future father-in-law for the first two years she knew him; and of course, Stephen himself, who likes to ask his 10-year-old grandson such macabre questions as, "So if I had a stroke, what do you think I should do? Should I go into a nursing home? Would that be the best thing?" The full profile is worth a read. Stephen King watches with his son, Joe Hill, during Game 1 of the American League Championship baseball series between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox, Oct. 12, 2007, at Fenway Park in Boston.

What might have been intended as pranks could have serious repercussions. Police are looking for three white males in connection with two separate water balloon attacks Monday night.
An international student suffered facial injuries, including a possible broken nose, after being assaulted at this College Main location shortly before midnight.
While investigating that incident, police were approached by another student who said he was hit by water balloons on Boyett Street.
Bryan and University police are investigating the attacks.

A Valley Springs man has been found guilty of raping a six-year-old girl last summer.
After three hours of deliberations, a Minnehaha County jury of seven women and five men found 57-year-old Kevin Buchholtz guilty of first degree rape, sexual contact with a child and indecent exposure.
Buchholtz is now facing life in prison for molesting the six-year-old girl inside the garage of his Valley Springs mobile home last summer and then again inside the bedroom.
"Absolutely, ultimately justice was served and the people of Valley Springs can sleep a little better now," Minnehaha County Deputy State's Attorney Crystal Johnson said after the verdict was read.
The six-year-old said in a recorded interview that Buchholtz fondled her in June 2011 when she was helping him clean the garage. She also said he exposed himself to her and fondled her inside his bedroom. The victim also told investigators that Buchholtz would give her pop and chips, had squirt guns in his house and even gave her a doll.
"It's very important and that interview is done shortly after her initial disclosure so everything is still fresh in her mind even though we are 14 months after the incident took place," Buchholtz said.
During closing arguments Buchholtz's attorneys questioned the girl's story.
"Law enforcement and those investigating this case saw what they wanted to see and they built their case around an innocent man," Deputy Minnehaha County Public Defender Mike Miller said. "The investigation was a witch hunt."
Defense attorneys said the fact that Buchholtz had pop, chips and toys in his house didn't make him a child molester. They also said that the six-year-old was confused by a different time when she said two young boys exposed themselves to her inside a garage.
But the jury didn't buy those arguments and prosecutors say it just didn't make sense that the six-year-old victim would make up all of the disturbing the details that she shared with investigators and the jury.
"If this girl was making it up, if this girl was lying, she had to be a genius liar," Johnson said.
Buchholtz faces a maximum of life in prison with the first degree rape charges.
There are still two other cases pending involving victims from Valley Springs.

This lopen-air market is a descendant of the haphazard pushcart trade that gave this part of the city its distinct lively character in the early part of the 20th century. It's amusing to see the old telephones, typewriters, and other arcana all haphazardly displayed—as well as the shoppers scrambling and vying with each other to reacquire such items. Professional dealers sell secondhand and vintage clothing, hats, and purses. New fashions are mostly for generic alterna-types who will enjoy a wide selection of slogan T-shirts, hippie bags, and jewelry for every type of piercing. The flea market is open Monday–Saturday 9–6.

|Impact of Statin Therapy on Late Target Lesion Revascularization After Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation (from the CREDO-Kyoto Registry Cohort-2).
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22381164 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Therapeutic strategies preventing late target lesion revascularization (TLR) after drug-eluting stent implantation have not been yet adequately investigated. In 13,087 consecutive patients undergoing first percutaneous coronary intervention in the CREDO-Kyoto Registry Cohort-2, we identified 10,221 patients who were discharged alive after implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) only (SES stratum 5,029) or bare-metal stents (BMSs) only (BMS stratum 5,192). Impact of statin therapy at time of discharge from the index hospitalization on early (within the first year) and late (1 year to 4 years) TLR, was assessed in the SES stratum (statin group 2,735; nonstatin group 2,294) and in the BMS stratum (statin group 2,576; nonstatin group 2,616). Despite a significantly lower incidence of early TLR (7.8% vs 22.2%, p <0.0001), SES use compared to BMS use was associated with a significantly higher incidence of late TLR (7.7% vs 3.0%, p <0.0001). In the SES and BMS strata, the incidence of early TLR was similar regardless of statin use. In the SES stratum, the incidence of late TLR was significantly lower in the statin group than in the nonstatin group (6.1% vs 9.6%, p = 0.002), whereas no significant difference was found in the BMS stratum (2.6% vs 3.3%, p = 0.38). After adjusting confounders, risk for late TLR significantly favored statin use in the SES stratum (hazard ratio 0.73, 95% confidence interval 0.54 to 0.98, p = 0.04), whereas the risk decrease was not significant in the BMS stratum (hazard ratio 0.74, 95% confidence interval 0.46 to 1.20, p = 0.23). In conclusion, statin therapy at hospital discharge was associated with a significantly lower risk for late TLR after SES implantation.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Ongoing pain along the inside of the foot and ankle merits a visit to the doctor, according to the March issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter. That pain could be a symptom of fallen arches — a change in the tendon that normally provides stability for walking and support for the foot's arch.
The earlier this problem, known as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, is identified, the more likely that noninvasive treatment will help. Untreated, the tendon will continue to degenerate.
The posterior tendon is on the inside of the lower leg starting at a muscle in the calf and attaching to bones on the inside of the foot. Injuries to this tendon are among the most common foot and ankle problems. They may occur over time with wear and tear, with overuse during high-impact sports, or during a fall.
Obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and steroid injections can increase the risk of tibial tendon dysfunction. Fallen arches are more common in adults over 40, and affect women more often than men.
Symptoms include swelling on the inside of the ankle, pain that worsens with activity or walking on uneven ground, difficulty walking or standing for long periods and, eventually, pain on the outside of the ankle due to the heel bone shifting outward.
Diagnosis requires a physical exam and often includes X-rays or other imaging. Treatment depends on the extent of the tendon problem. The goal is to reduce pain, stabilize the foot and prevent additional changes to the foot's integrity.
Conservative treatment choices include:
Surgery may be considered if pain doesn't improve after six months of conservative treatment. Surgical options include replacing the damaged tendon with another tendon from the foot, realigning bones to create a more normal arch, or fusing joints to stabilize the back of the foot.

Soybean-meal exports from India, Asia's largest supplier of animal feed, may climb 25 percent next year as domestic oilseed output surges to a record, according to Adani Wilmar Ltd., a processor and exporter.
Shipments may jump to 5 million metric tons in the year beginning Nov. 1, from an estimated 4 million tons this year, Atul Chaturvedi, chief executive officer, told reporters in Mumbai today. Traders likely sold 250,000 tons to 300,000 tons of soybean meal from the new crop, less than the 700,000 tons contracted to export a year earlier, he said.
Increased supplies from India may accelerate a 12 percent decline in soybean-meal prices this year in Chicago and boost sales at processors including Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd., Adani Enterprises Ltd. and KS Oils Ltd. The December-delivery soybean meal contract fell 1.5 percent to $330.10 a short ton on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday.
Prices may "remain under pressure" in the next few months as buyers wait for a further decline in rates, Chaturvedi said. India's exports will gain next year as "Japanese demand is robust and exports to Europe and Japan will be better than last year," he said.
India competes with the U.S., Argentina and Brazil to supply animal feed to China, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea. Soybean meal, India's largest meal export, is added to poultry feed as a form of protein to aid birds' growth. The country usually exports more than 70 percent of its output.
Normal Monsoon
Soybean production may exceed 11 million tons in 2011-2012 after above-normal monsoon rainfall helped farmers to increase area under the oilseed, Chaturvedi said.
Farmers planted soybeans in 10.32 million hectares (25.5 million acres) as of Sept. 16, compared with 9.32 million hectares a year earlier, according to data from the farm ministry. The monsoon, the main source of irrigation for the nation's 235 million farmers, has been 4 percent above a 50 year average, according to the India Meteorological Department.
Crude palm oil imports by India have "dried up" since Sept. 15 after Indonesia announced a cut in tax on exports of refined palm oil products, Chaturvedi said. Refiners have halted purchase of unprocessed palm oil as they fear a flood of imports of refined oil, he said.
"Indian refiners would not sign their own death warrants by signing import contracts now," he said.
Indonesia will levy a maximum tax of 10 percent on refined, bleached and deodorized palm oil from Oct. 1, while crude palm oil will be taxed at a maximum of 22.5 percent, according to a Finance Ministry Decree signed Aug. 15.
Palm oil prices will remain "depressed" as Indonesia's efforts to boost refined oil reduces demand for supplies from Malaysia, the second-biggest supplier, LMC International Ltd. Chairman James Fry told an industry conference in Mumbai today.
Prices in Malaysia may drop to as low as 2,525 ringgit ($794) a ton by March if the Brent crude oil price drops to $87 a barrel, he said. Palm oil futures, which have lost 21 percent this year, closed at 2,992 ringgit in Kuala Lumpur on Sept. 23. Brent for November delivery fell 1.4 percent to $103.97 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange yesterday.
Edible-oil imports by India may increase to 8.5 million tons to 8.8 million tons in the year beginning Nov. 1 from an estimated 8.3 million tons this year, Chaturvedi said.

|An evaluation of selected methods for the decontamination of cattle hides prior to skinning.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22062817 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The effectiveness of different decontamination treatments in reducing microbial loads on cattle hides was assessed. The 10-s hide treatments were conducted using a wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner filled with one of the liquids (heated to 50 °C) indicated below, followed or not by 10-min drying in the air. Also, the hide was clipped, followed or not by 10-s singeing using a hand-held blowtorch. Before and after each decontamination treatment, the hide was sampled (100 cm(2) areas) by a sponge-swabbing method to compare the total viable counts of bacteria (TVC). The largest bacterial reduction (P<0.001; 2.31log(10) cfu/cm(2)) was achieved by singeing of previously clipped hide. Treatment of hide with a food industry sanitizer solution (10% Betane Plus) resulted in significant reductions of 1.80 (P<0.001) and 1.98log(10) cfu/cm(2) (P<0.001) without and with subsequent drying, respectively. Treatment of hide with a food industry disinfectant (P3-Topactive DES) significantly reduced TVC by 0.97 (P<0.001) and 1.18log(10) cfu/cm(2) (P<0.001) without and with subsequent drying, respectively. Treatments of hide with water alone or with a food-safe detergent solution (Formula 963B), or hide clipping alone, did not produce significant decontamination effects. Since hide contamination is associated with microbial contamination of the carcasses, the results indicate that post-killing/pre-skinning hide decontamination (used alone, or in combination with carcass decontamination) has a potential to improve microbial meat safety. Nevertheless, further research is required to optimise the efficacy of these treatments in the reduction of specific pathogens under commercial conditions.

Do u think there is some dark Organization spreading the HIV around the world? or its just randomly spreading due s3x?
It is treatable now. I would be more worried about fluoride and aspartame in food and water if I were you. Oh and bankers and corporations!
I said treated, I did not say cured. It is safe to have sex if you are safe and your partner is willing to take extra precautions. From the way you come across I very much doubt that you have HIV.
There was a theory, back in the mid-80s, that AIDS was created by a scientist just so it would kill black people thru sexual transmission, thus opening up Africa again to European/American expansion, but something went wrong.

And there was the theory about the Canadian gay guy who had sex with an infected African monkey and brought the disease to North America.

Very prevalent theories, 30 years ago!
Of course its a conspiracy. Same with the horse meat in UK burgers. Its a plot by the french to make all us Brits into horsefaced morons, or as we call them here, the upper class. Aids is a variation of a monkey disease that mutated and infected man. There is no evidence of a plot to kill blacks, queers or smackheads just the typical paranoia of the insecure, lonely and mad.
I knew a lady who was a microbiologist in a medical research lab in another country. They believed that it was a virus created and injected to prisoners of war before they were released in Angola, their release depended on if they were willing to take the injection.
It was said that the reason for it's introduction was to reduce the population of humans in Africa. Africa probably has more abundance of natural resources (minerals) than any other region in the world.
I think the origins came from a similar disease in monkeys that contaminated a cut in a mans arm in a very remote part of Africa. We can not do anything about such things however we can screw the banks and the corporations.
From what I've read it originated with *********** and continues by indiscriminate sex and failure to distribute appropriate methods of control, especially to poor countries (e.g., African ones), But I'm not sure of the true or continuing story around the aids virus.
Actually it's most often spread through drug addicts sharing dirty needles.
First Of All, Quit Being a Google Baby- You Believe Anything You See/Hear On Google Like It Came Out Of Your Parents Mouth.

Second, Regardless If Your 'Hocus Pocus' Dark/ Illuminati Organization 'Spread' AIDS, Google Won't Explain How/Why/When.

If Your Educated ( NOT BY GOOGLE) You Would Know Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Illness/Disease/Pain/ Whateva You Wna Call It Happened To That Person(s) Due To The Choices They Made.

You Might As Well Blame Every Illness To Some ' Hocus Pocus' Dark/Illuminati Organization, Why Target AIDS, Or Swine Flu, Chicken Pox? Ohh Bcus Google Said So.

I Won't Say I Know How/Where AIDS Started - Nor Comment On Some Ish I Read On Google But I Know AIDS And Every Other Disease Originated Long Before Google Came Along, And Like Propaganda, The Majority Of People Who Claim They Know How/Where They Began, Might As Well Start a Religion
yea the last part -
and if its not true they can't put it on the internet?
sex. Even if it were a dark conspiracy (which I don't beleive) sex would be the perfect medium for transmission.
And because it's on the internet it's real? Last I heard HIV came from momkey's to man via eating monkey meat
STDs are a natural part of life that sexual predators will always spread around. A society with character will not have many STDs floating around while a greedy society will feel plagued by them.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning talks about his good times in Indianapolis while owner Jim Irsay listens as they field questions after it was announced that the Colts are letting go of Manning after 14 years during a press conference at the Indianapolis Colts complex on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. (Matt Detrich / The Star)

Yes, it's an old subject, and a touchy one.
But in light of quarterback Peyton Manning's incredible start through three Denver victories this season -- he has 12 TD passes and zero INTs with a 134.7 passer rating -- you just knew a lot of people were going to say Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay made a mistake in releasing the four-time NFL MVP in 2012.
Many Colts fans would like to move on with QB Andrew Luck. Some never will, convinced Irsay should have kept Manning although the owner was advised by doctors that the quarterback might not ever play again due to a spinal neck problem that required ...

Process points way to cheaper, more flexible lithium batteries
Cheaper, flexible lithium batteries could be on their way thanks to a new manufacturing process developed at Leeds University.
Scientists led by physics professor Ian Ward have found a way to replace the liquid electrolyte that carries ions between the battery's electrodes with a gel-like polymer substance.
This means the battery wouldn't need a porous separator to stop the two sections of electrolyte from mixing or a rigid container to prevent the liquid from leaking out.
'With having [a battery] that is ultra-thin, flexible, conformable, I think we're going to revolutionise product design,' Hugh Rudden, a consultant helping the Leeds team to commercialise the technology, told The Engineer.
'We need to integrate other parts of the battery and that's what we're working on. But the thing that stops a battery from being flexible at the moment is the container.'
The new extrusion manufacturing process is what makes having a flexible solid electrolyte possible, he added.
The gel is sandwiched between an anode and cathode at high speeds of 10m per minute to create a highly conductive strip that is nanometres thick and can be cut into any size.
This permits a fully automated process that also seals the electrodes together so that there is no excess flammable solvent and liquid electrolyte.
'The polymer gel looks like a solid film, but it actually contains about 70 per cent liquid electrolyte,' said Ward.
'It's made using the same principles as making a jelly: you add lots of hot water to "gelatine" — in this case there is a polymer and electrolyte mix — and as it cools it sets to form a solid but flexible mass.'
The team is looking for partners from the electronics, automotive and energy industries to help commercialise the technology for practical application. Smaller batteries could be made available within 18 months.
Readers' comments (2)
Hydro Quebec used such type of polymer in their lithium battery many years ago.
According to the Hydro Quebec website, they are still using the traditional liquid electrolyte system, and hence the same problems as other solvent-based ('wet') battery systems.
The technology from Leeds is quite different, the gel electrolyte composition is unique, the battery cells are rugged and can best be described as 'solid state'.
With the proprietary continuous extrusion lamination process, this gives Leeds a unique product which has many advantages, e.g.
~ Lower cost – no separator / liquid
~ Safe – no hazardous solvents
~ Flexible and conformable cells
~ Continuous roll to roll production
~ Can produce large cells e.g. for EV's
