So, the Massachusetts legislature wrapped up the FY07-FY08 session early Friday morning. The wonky-hot legislative item that AAC was watching was the Senate President’s Healthcare Cost Containment bill, S2863 – followed by the press primarily for its attempts at restricting gifts from pharma. Check out HCFA’s blog to get a blow-by-blow on the fight put up on the issue of limiting gifts from pharma and the historic same sex equity bills enacted.
The component of this legislation that stoked AAC’s fire is the establishment of a program for the statewide adoption of electronic health records by 2015. A statewide inter...

Exhaustion is the only word to describe today, the first day of the conference. I can think of a few more in my wordsmithing toolbox.
Well, my day was like a reality show on crack. The first stop is always the PWA lounge, where membership has it’s privileges. I like to think of it as the rewards system for those who have earned enough frequent flyers of bare cock (and et al) points where lots of coffee, sandwiches, nibbly things, along with wireless internet can be had.

I realized that potentially the subject of bottom feeders came up and it could be interpreted the wrong way. So for my own piece of mind I just need to say this. The OAN, and ICAD have done a great job administrating the scholarships that have gone, especially since the turn around time for processing them was extremely limited.
There has been a record amount of scholarships gone out this year, and this is great. No matter how hard an organization tries there will be those who exploit it, and I’m not sure how you get around that.
In addition, I’m not even sure why I’m even surprised, but I was when I heard of the...

A good friend Rachel Lillis has volunteered to be the curator of the exhibit and while Rebecca and I are in South Africa. She is currently in search of some new venues starting in November.

This was not the case last night. The even louder music confirmed that this tiny room with the safe that doesn’t work, and desperately needed a furniture rearrangement, was a room they reserved for conference discounts.

In the last few days, news about HIV/AIDS has been a mixed catnip bag. The brakes were put on a clinical trial for an AIDS vaccine- bad news. Also, a new report is suggesting that the epidemic's impact on the African American community here in the U.S. rivals the impact in other parts of the world. While on the other end of the spectrum, a couple of doctors in Texas think they've found the Achille's heel in HIV, and are talking ...

On the eve of the International AIDS Conference being held next week in Mexico City, President Bush signed into law the much anticipated PEPFAR Reauthorization Bill. The bill calls for a $50 billion U.S. commitment to fight HIV/AIDS across the globe. Although disappointingly the bill still promotes abstinence-only prevention programs, encouragingly the bill includes language that will help ease HIV/AIDS based travel restrictions in the U.S. This is a laudable, major piece of legislation that will undoubtedly save many lives.
Many pundits are saying PEPFAR could be the cornerstone of the President’s foreign policy legacy....

As the global AIDS community prepares for the conference beginning Sunday in Mexico City, President Bush is signing the reauthorization bill for PEPFAR today. It has been named after Tom Lantos and Henry Hyde, Democratic and Republican members of Congress who passed away within the past year. When Elizabeth Dole attempted to name the bill for recently deceased Senator Jesse Helms, there was much backlash, given Helms’ early opposition in the 80’s and 90’s to AIDS spending, a disease he saw as a result of deviant behavior. Helms would go on to have a near deathbed conversion to support the cause of HIV/AID...

I finally have done it. My “Big-ol’Gay Pilgrimage” to see Donna Summer. The show was fabulous, her voice is still amazing, and it was a lot of fun. The draw back was that we had to drive all the way to Casino Rama, about an hour and a half (if you count getting out of the city).

HIV digs deeper into Deep South
Sunday, July 20, 2008
DAVE PARKS
[birmingham] News staff writer
HIV has burrowed into the Deep South, feeding off some of the most impoverished people in the nation and creating a health catastrophe, according to a report being released Monday in Birmingham.
The report from the Southern AIDS Coalition says federal funding to fight the disease has not followed the epidemic’s path, with an unfair share of money for treatment, education and support services remaining in other, wealthier parts of the nation that have fewer new HIV cases and declining death rates.
“Rising infect...

This deep dark depression has settled in like a bay fog. I stopped going to the Conspiracy Cafe and just about stopped going anywhere.The Summer here in Eastern Mass is one of the weirdest I've ever seen, unending hot super humid days, marked by some of the most violent thunderstorms I can recall that arrive out of nowhere, dump 2-4" of rain then disappear. We're getting anywhere from 2-6-8 of these a week, brief violent downpours.

Author asks LAT to save Book Review
Yesterday it was the Book Review’s former editors pleading to keep a distinct books presence in the Los Angeles Times. Today, Los Angeles author Daniel A. Olivas (Latinos in Lotusland, among other books) emailed Times editors with an appeal that’s both civic and personal.
Los Angeles Times:
My wife and I are distressed by the reports concerning the Times’ plans to scrap the Sunday Book Review and downsize it to a few pages in the Calendar section.
While we understand the economic difficulties the Times and other print media are suffering through, the Sunday Book ...

Book editors protest cuts at the Times
Four past book editors of the Los Angeles Times — Sonja Bolle, Digby Diehl, Jack Miles and Steve Wasserman — released a letter protesting the planned termination of the Sunday Book Review, which apparently will be replaced by a smaller number of pages appended to the Calendar section.
LOS ANGELES, Calif.–As former editors of the Los Angeles Times Book Review (1975 through 2005), we are dismayed and troubled at the decision by Sam Zell and his managers to cease publishing the paper’s Sunday Book Review.
This step signals the end of an era begun 33 years ago when Oti...

Just popping in to say I'm still alive. Visiting family and away from home for a couple of days- all is well!
On the good news front, Team Supersnack officially ranked in the Top Ten fundraisers for the AIDSWalk NY, at number 10. And the team's very own Leigh-Taylor Smith, who helped raise funds and walked with us as herself and Miss Brooklyn, just won MISS NEW YORK over the weekend.
Even though it's been two months since the walk, Team Supersnack had a very good week!
Positively Yours,
Shawn
