Since there has been so much chat here about cheating and condoms…who’s doing it, who’s donning one, and who’s choosing to opt out (not a good choice), I thought that since it is World Aids Day today, it was important that I show the numbers.

A chart for World Aids Day –  Taken from the animated charts at Aids In Africa

The numbers needed to describe deaths, infections, and orphans brought by AIDS in Africa are too large for us to understand. We can simplify these numbers into abstract models; we can show them in relation to one another; we can chart them, graph them, subdivide them into smaller more tangible numbers. However, we have to accept at the end that we are not capable of grasping the scale in which people of Africa are suffering and dying due to HIV/AIDS.

Diagrams also fail to connect statistics with the real people they are meant to represent. When looking at a chart, it is easy to forget that each number represents a real life, with real family members and friends. A death is not a single unit, but an end of a painful progression of sickness that leaves behind widows, orphans, and demoralized communities.

Despite their weaknesses, diagrams serve an important tool for explaining the complicted dynamics of this monsterous epidemic. Most of the “People Charts” above are generated dynamically based on information stored in an online database. This makes it much easier to update the statistics and keep the site up to date, an especially important feature since the epidemic is in constant motion.

Sources
Most of the statistics presented here, including HIV prevalence, cause of death, and HIV/AIDS models have been obtained through UNAIDS website and World Health Organization’s public online library. Information on drug prices is partly drawn from a report by Doctors without Borders.

Readers: And as usual, President Obama is doing something about issues that are important to us. Just another thing to add to all that he has already done for the American people and the world.

Today, Obama Administration officials and leaders in the AIDS community will speak at a World AIDS Day event at the White House to reflect on the lessons learned and the path forward in the fight against HIV and AIDS in the United States and around the world.  The White House World AIDS Day Event will include keynote remarks as well as a panel discussion with HIV/AIDS researchers and advocates and will be live streamed at 1:30 on www.whitehouse.gov/live.

Throughout his career in public service, President Obama has been committed to fighting HIV/AIDS here at home and around the world.  With the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) as a foundation, the President put forward an ambitious $63 billion Global Health Initiative (GHI) to combat HIV/AIDS, address other health challenges and assist partner countries to strengthen their health systems and build capacity to provide services sustainably.  Through the GHI, the President’s aim is to ensure our programs have maximum impact, as this Administration’s focus is on outcomes, such as lives saved — not simply dollars spent. Since taking office, the number of those on antiretroviral treatment has nearly doubled to 3.2 million – up from 1.7 million in 2008, and under the GHI, the U.S. continues to be the global leader in funding for HIV/AIDS.  The President proposed the largest request to date for PEPFAR for FY 2011.  Additionally, in October, the Administration announced an unprecedented multi-year pledge of $4 billion for 2011-2013 to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.  This pledge represents a 38% increase in U.S. support for the Global Fund, and is in addition to more than $5.1 billion provided to the Fund to date.

Domestically, the Office of National AIDS Policy released the first comprehensive National HIV/AIDS Strategy and Federal Implementation Plan for the United States with three key goals: reducing the number of new infections; increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV; and reducing HIV-related health disparities.

Jeffrey Crowley is the Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP)

Don’t be a number and don’t subject your partner to being one. Thoughts to share? Blog me.

Hi Nancy: Thanks for the compliment, but even more so, thanks for taking a step in the direction of doing something. Much appreciated. :)  ”Half The Sky” is certainly on my reading list. Let me know how you like it.

Pearl: GOAT? How can I not love that acronym, not to mention the definition! Thank you.

Rita: You said it better than I.

Ken: So…I’m dying to know…Did you get asked out on any dates? You know…did the grope get some rope worth pursuing? C’mon don’t hold back now. :)

Brenda: Gosh no. But when I thought no one did, I had to really read and re-read the article again just in case I was missing something. I wanted to see the other side. I mean after all this blog does point out quite often,  and rightly so, how men try to control and hold women down. But I could find no fault this time. I truly thought that this surgeon was being sincere, and I liked his metaphorical meaning, so I made it a point to say so. Anyway enough said. As far as you getting a facelift: Go for it if you ever feel like it. And yes, donate to the SPCA too. How cool. Love you back. :)

Kimberly: Thanks for the kudos. My readers continue to delightfully surprise me.

Scituate Handyman: Well thank you. Please come back and read again.

Vera: You have me cracking up. I wish I had thought of that. You actually got arrested? Please blog me and give us the dope on the verdict.

Zen Lill: Love the story. And ya gotta love the Lucy girl. I certainly do.

Terrance: I know. It’s sick isn’t it.

Larry: Is this the same Larry that has been begging for pics of ZL? You crack me up – Yes, you are keeping your options open aren’t you?!

Peace & Love: “Live it, Give it”…and make sure that you put one “on it“.

Good morning!

I HOPE Everyone enjoyed a very untraditional Thanksgiving celebration!

Here is an article that shows the hypocrisy of the Right. As if they couldn’t find a better role model for this message to their kids.  It shows the kids that the parents are as full of BS as the message.

Bristol Palin & The Situation Talk Abstinence, Condoms (VIDEO)

The Situation and Bristol Palin have teamed up for a new PSA to prevent teen pregnancy. In the skit, Bristol promotes abstinence while the Situation advocates safe sex.

“I know you’re all about that abstinence thing, but come on, B-Palin, are you serious?” he asks. “You’re not gonna hook up before you’re married? For real?”

“For real,” she says. He goes on to offer her Magnum condoms, which she declines.

Last year Bristol was named ambassador to the Candies Foundation, which aims to educate teens about the consequences of pregnancy.

Bristol received the lowest score on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Monday night despite having a personal best performance.

Oh and speaking of Dancing With The Stars, Bristol Palin didn’t exactly go out gracefully. My mother who is so into the show, read to me last night what Bristol said during the finale show. Let me just say, it isn’t exactly something I would want to hear from a supposed role model. Just another example of Right-wing hypocrisy.

“Going out there and winning this would mean a lot,” Bristol told the Dancing with the Stars audience during a clip package on the finale. “It would be like a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me.”

Readers: Yep, she proved it…fruit doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Just like mom, Bristol doesn’t just want to defeat you, she wants to crush anyone who opposes her. I just want to say to her, “Oh, grow up”, but then, as we all know, her mother never did.

If you have anything to say, say it here. Blog me.

Peace out.

Good morning!

For those of you interested here’s an update on DADT:

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’s Final Act: Stage Is Set For Hearing

WASHINGTON — The stage has been formally set for the final, theatrical hearing over whether or not Congress will repeal the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy this year or even next year.

On Wednesday, Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich), chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, announced that he will hold two days of hearings on the policy that restricts gays from serving openly in the armed forces. The hearings will come just days after a year-long report, commissioned by the Pentagon, will be released reportedly showing that DADT repeal would have a minimal impact on the temperament or readiness of fellow soldiers.

On Thursday, December 2, supporters of DADT repeal will be granted the first shot to make their case. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates; Admiral Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Jeh C. Johnson, the Department of Defense’s General Counsel and co-chair of the Pentagon’s DADT Comprehensive Review Working Group; and General Carter F. Ham, commander of the United States Army in Europe and the second co-chair of the Comprehensive Review Working Group will all deliver testimony.

They will be followed on Friday by a day of testimony from those generally skeptical of appeal, including General James E. Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; General George W. Casey, Jr., chief of staff of the Army; Admiral Gary Roughead, chief of Naval Operations; General James F. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps; and General Norton A. Schwartz, chief of staff of the Air Force.

All told, it should be a dramatic two days of hearings and questioning, with particular attention being paid to those members of the Senate Armed Services Committee whose position on the policy is either vague (Sen. Susan Collins chief among them) or who’ve twisted themselves into pretzels attempting to hold up repeal (Sen. John McCain).

The betting money is that people will remain entrenched or even emboldened in their positions even after the hearings conclude. But what comes out of the Pentagon study and the subsequent testimony could give Democratic leadership the type of breathing room they need to keep DADT repeal inside the Defense Authorization Bill and, in turn, structure the debate so that Republicans no longer feel they can vote against it on procedural grounds.

Readers: I also want to give you an update on Maj. Margaret Witt, who is a decorated reservist flight nurse, that had been suspended from the Air Force in 2004, after 17 years of service. She was eventually discharged in October 2007 after the Air Force learned she had been in a long-term relationship with a civilian woman. Now thanks to the Obama administration, they have appealed a court decision ordering it to reinstate Maj. Witt who was  discharged under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Just another reason why I’m happy Obama is president. We women, gay or straight, need to have a president such as Obama on our side.

Comments? Give it up –  blog me.

Hey Zen Lill: Ha! Noted but did you notice all of the comments in regards to that? :) Okay, so I didn’t mean to negate you being the change you want to see. I’ve seen the change. All I’m saying is, don’t limit yourself. You can be the the change you want to see and give someone a piece of your mind too.  Ya know what I mean? So…next time I’ll use the word “and” instead of “but” to be clear. That being said, what I really want to say is, I just like my blog to benefit from the fire in your heart that I know you have. :)

Joyce: Laughed at your comment to censor stupidity. Would love to but stupidity is welcome here too. :)

Brittany: Doug is not perfect but neither am I. :) In regards to your man, nicely said. I am happy you are having happy sex.

Hi Ruth: Funny. I always say the same thing about my dog and protecting her. She needs to fear my voice commanding her to stay so that she doesn’t get tempted to run out into the street and get killed. I’m sure you get my drift on this one. :) How are you otherwise?

Jodi: Deciding to turn a blind eye eh? Ignorance is blissful. Perhaps for you it is better that way.

Barry: You can thank Wizz for that one. Wish I could’ve been there.

Peace out peeps….I’m out of here.

Good morning!

Over a year ago I wrote about Wendell Potter, CIGNA’s Health Insurance Executive and whistle-blower. Last night on Keith Olbermann, Michael Moore and Potter got to chat about the campaign against Moore’s movie “Sicko”. Here’s two clips:

Readers: An e-mail from Moore just in case you don’t have time to watch the clips.

Michael Moore and Whistleblower Wendell Potter on Olbermann Tonight: “We Knew as Much About Michael Moore as He Knows About Himself”

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Friends,

Tonight at 8:00 PM ET on Keith Olbermann’s show on MSNBC I will meet for the very first time the man the health industry sent to Michigan to, in his words, “spy” and do “reconnaissance” so they could try to defame me and my movie (“We knew as much about him probably as he knows about himself”).

Tonight I’ll get to talk to former Humana and CIGNA health insurance executive Wendell Potter, the man who has bravely come forward to expose not just the hundreds of thousands they spent trying to destroy “Sicko,” but more importantly how they profit in the billions from a system that kills 45,000 Americans a year who are uninsured.

Actually, it turns out tonight won’t be the FIRST time I meet Wendell. He wrote this morning on his blog that he flew to the little village where I lived in Michigan to attend a screening I was having for the people in the area. He even walked into the reception we had beforehand and got his picture taken with me. His blog reads, in part:

“I need to apologize to Moore for the role I played in the insurance industry’s public relations attack campaign against him and “Sicko,” which was about the increasingly unfair and dysfunctional U.S. health care system…[W]hile I was still working for the insurance industry, I traveled as an industry spy…to attend the official U.S. premiere of Sicko on June 16, 2007. Moore and I actually met that day, although he doesn’t know it. (I didn’t tell him who I was or who I worked for.) The picture accompanying this blog, taken at a pre-screening reception by another movie-goer, shows me on Moore’s left and my son, Alex, on his right. Alex, who has always been a big fan of Moore’s, traveled with me on the reconnaissance mission. Moore even autographed a “Sicko” poster for Alex. It’s quite a memento.”

If you’re free tonight, tune in to Keith’s show. I know I’m looking forward to meeting the man who ran over my “baby.”

See you then,
Michael Moore

Roger: And it will continue to be that way until men get a clue. Last time I checked it was men abusing and raping women, treating them like sex slaves, and second class citizens. Cheating may not be considered a big deal in the minds of men, but once again sans a rubber, it shouts, “I don’t give a shit about you.” I think that’s quite a bit to bitch about, don’t you? Oh, I love the way men can dish it out but they can’t take it. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

And as far as your additional comment about your needs: “Fuck your needs.” That’s the problem. From what I read here, most men are focused on their needs. If men spent half as much time thinking about themselves and thought just a little bit more about their women, women would be so overjoyed they wouldn’t have to spend so much time here reading and commenting on this shit.

Anna of Guam: It is sad to read about your polluted beaches. Hanging out at the beach is one of my most favorite things to do.  In regards to Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo, I’d get behind her on this issue if I was living in Guam. Thanks for posting.

Zen Lill: I love that you want to be the change you want to see. But, why does ranting make you feel a certain hatred when you’re pointing out the truth? I want to hear the same wit that you report that you rant to your male friends in person, to the men here. Why deny the men here the privilege of your clever words?

Oh…FYI: I get the “healthyatized”. “Stition”? I don’t quite get that one, but I like the creativity.

Wizz: Ah…I see you figured it out. Glad I could help.

Satchel: Merci.

Evelyn: Yep, that is the big news isn’t it? I HOPE all is well in your life.

Peter: It seems that stealing from the most needy, pretty much happens every day in this world in some form or another.

Jodi: I have to agree with Lili.

Comments? Thoughts? Ideas? Blog me.

Hello…

I love making up words. Especially when I can’t find a word to describe what I am trying to say. Sometimes I even think I am making up a word only to find it in the dictionary. I love when that happens too.

Evidently Rachel Maddow feels the same way about making up words when she can’t find the right one. Only when I make up a word I don’t apologize to Merrium or Webster. In fact I think my made-up words should be added to the dictionary! And perhaps Maddow’s should be too :)

Her new word? “Spinefulness”

spinefulness |?sp?n?fo?ln?s|

adjective

1. Having spine or backbone; invertebrate

Democrats show rare spinefulness

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Readers: Let’s HOPE the “spinefulness” is a lasting thing. Thoughts? Blog me.

Wizz: I just saw your note. I am well – thanks. Next time Blog me. I would’ve love to have seen Basia. Doug wasn’t around and perhaps I could’ve had someone else take me. HOPE you are well too.

Zen Lill: It looks like it’s you and me babe. :) Men actually stated to you that because they chose to have a wife and kids that they deserved more money (and ‘family time’ off) ? And what do women deserve when they have to put up with men’s shit? Certainly better pay to say the least. But instead many women find the man cheating on her or leaving her for a younger newer model for some new p***y. As the saying goes, “Two inches more and you’d find some new p***y right here.” :)

I was reading the Huff Po the other day and all I kept seeing were articles of women discovering their man cheating and divorce was now in the works. Why do you think so many young women are opting out of marriage when they discover they don’t need a man to take care of them; they are totally self sufficient. Why bother. Sad, but they have a point with the way men cheat and the high divorce rate.

Got to run to my class, that works my butt and kicks it too!

Peace out.
