...borough's death rate from AIDS is nearly 10 times the national average, which health officials attribute to the fact that about 25% of its residents only learn they are infected after the disease has progressed to full-blown AIDS. In an ambitious plan announced at the end of June, the New York City Department of Health hopes to make HIV testing a basic part of routine medical care -as standard as mammograms, cholesterol screenings and setting broken arms. "Wherever you encounter the health care system, if you're offered the HIV test as part of the routine, then many...
...Alcohol Exposure John Cloud has it right about drinking with family [June 30]. My brother and I were given wine at dinner by my parents at a young age. My sons were raised that way as well.

Let's take a look! They begin with NewTyhuss, who writes, "sweet!" Things start going south with comment No. 4: "id hit it." (Good one, ZRace67!) After a week, we're down to eldergod: "why dont u shove that gerbil up yur ass and quit posting stupid videos." bwalhof writes...
...house prices keep falling, the cost of the program could rise--but would probably be dwarfed by other spending to combat the crisis. A worst-case taxpayer bailout of mortgage-market giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose plummeting stock prices caused consternation in early June, could cost as much as $1.1 trillion, according to Standard & Poor's. Which brings us back to the big question: Would a law that helps a few hundred thousand homeowners avoid foreclosure really have an impact on house prices? Well, compared to what...
