Links: Hate Crime to HIV/AIDS to Healthcare to Apple

Hundreds of members and supporters of Israel's homosexual community have rallied in Tel Aviv a day after a masked gunman killed two people at a gay youth centre.


***********************************************************



A new strain of the virus that causes AIDS has been discovered in a woman from the African nation of Cameroon. It differs from the three known strains of human immunodeficiency virus and appears to be closely related to a form of simian virus recently discovered in wild gorillas, researchers report in Monday's edition of the journal Nature Medicine.


***********************************************************



Confusing claims and outright distortions have animated the national debate over changes in the health care system. Opponents of proposals by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats falsely claim that government agents will force elderly people to discuss end-of-life wishes. Obama has played down the possibility that a health care overhaul would cause large numbers of people to change doctors and insurers.
