Desert Sun Publishes Series On HIV/AIDS Amid Proposed Funding Cuts In California State Budget
The Desert Sun published a series of articles related to HIV/AIDS. The articles include a feature profiling people living with the virus and others looking at efforts by advocates to offer culturally appropriate information on HIV to Hispanics, blacks and other minorities; the efficacy of antiretrovirals, and how the drugs are enabling people to live longer; and the potential effects of proposed state budget cuts on HIV/AIDS programs in Riverside County (Brambila, Desert Sun, 6/10).

'Past Time' To Denounce Tiller Murder, Violence Perpetrated By Some Antiabortion Advocates, Opinion Piece Says
In the wake of the shooting death of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller, columnist Ellen Goodman writes in the Boston Globe that she "can"t help wondering whether rhetoric can justify a crime in the mind of a fanatic." She continues, "Can"t words provide the sort of perverse moral platform that jihadists stand on and the alternate universe in which a "lone nut" can find a home?" Goodman writes that she does not blame Tiller"s death on "everyone who checks a pro-life box on the pollster"s chart," but it is "well past time for the antiabortion movement to denounce those who are in the profession of inflaming passions."Tiller "was a doctor of last resort for many women, especially those women for whom the sonogram did not bring joy but tragic tidings," Goodman writes, adding, "He refused to be cowed. At the very least, he should be buried with truth." In his recent commencement address at the University of Notre Dame, President Obama asked, "As citizens of a vibrant and varied democracy, how do we engage in vigorous debate? How does each of us remain firm in our principles, and fight for what we consider right, without demonizing those with just as strongly held convictions on the other side?" Goodman writes, "One way is for those who truly "denounce the murder" to take on the chorus, the back-up singers, who still provide the doo-wop for the next deranged soloist." She concludes, "You see, this suspect was not such a lone gunman. And no, I am afraid, this was not an isolated incident" (Goodman, Boston Globe, 6/5).

Ensure A Safe Drinking Water Supply During Hurricane Season With Hydration Technology Innovations Water Filtration Systems

In support of National Hurricane Preparedness Week, Hydration Technology Innovations (HTI) (www.htiwater.com) aims to educate people about a proprietary water filtration system that was created in conjunction with NASA and the Department of Defense, and is being used by disaster relief organizations and branches of the United States military. Using forward osmosis technology, HTI has developed a personal filtration system that turns any type of contaminated or polluted water into a safe, nutrient drink. No electricity, no pumping, and no bitter chemicals are required. The HTI LifePack water filter provides up to three liters per day of a clean, nutrient drink from any water . - Over a three-day period, the LifePack can produce more than nine liters (20 lbs) of a clean drink. - LifePack can be used with any water , even standing water from drains, puddles or gutters. - LifePack will produce a fresh, safe, clean drink in just six hours, without chemicals, hand pumps or a need for maintenance. LifePack allows users to scoop water from a puddle, drain or gutter to produce safe drinking water for their families following a hurricane or other natural disaster. This same water filter technology was used by the National Guard during Hurricane Katrina to filter contaminated waters from the streets of New Orleans into a clean, safe drink that provided nutrients and electrolytes to the Guard during search and rescue efforts. "This technology employs a micro filter that is remarkably advanced and extremely simple to use," noted Keith Lamp, Chief Technologist, HTI. "In fact, young children used the LifePack easily in the aftermath of the Sri Lanka tsunami. We expect to see the HTI filter system embraced more and more by government institutions and hospitals, as well as private citizens, in the event of natural disasters or other emergencies where survival depends on having clean, safe drinking water." Purity levels of the water produced from the HTI LifePack are comparable to reverse osmosis systems, and the filter meets EPA standards for the removal of biological pathogens (viruses, bacteria, cysts).
