...dying not from AIDS, but from witchcraft. Meanwhile, many HIV activists encourage medical doctors in these contexts to rely on the assistance of traditional healers (who are known to spread the myth that sleeping with a virgin cures diseases. While one NGO in Zimbabwe has already tried to debunk that myth, it is astonishing that donors spend millions of dollars on expensive HIV testing and (comparably) miniscule resources are spent on providing vital information to containing the spread of AIDS...
...Folks close to the two companies confirm that the same iPhone models you find at AT&T and Apple stores, as well as at BestBuy, are going to be carried by Wal-Mart, if not by Christmas, then the end of December.

Most wines are sold only locally, and Alaska won't even ship its product, which is made from grapes from other states. So if you try to duplicate this project, know that it's best undertaken slowly while traveling around the country--or during the summer, when you have a lot of interns...
