...Brown University, found that nearly half (45%) of the 201 HIV-positive men surveyed were high-risk transmitters: among them, the most likely to transmit HIV to partners were young men who drank heavily (more than five glasses of alcohol a day at least once in the past six months), were diagnosed with HIV within the past nine years and reported using methamphetamine. Three-quarters of the surveyed men were Caucasian, half had graduated from college, and only half had a detectable HIV viral load.

Anthony in particular was sniping from three-point land with positively European brio - shooting four of six from behind the arc. Consistently, the US swung the ball crisply in the half-court game, found the open man, and then nailed long-range jumpers: Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Tayshaun Prince (three of four) and Deron Williams all made three pointers. Overall, Team USA shot 12 of 25 from...
