...part of that exchange, Lu's CDC team shared with Ho, in the first presentation of its kind to anyone outside the Chinese government, the details of AIDS penetration in Yunnan. Last March Lu informed Ho that in a 2002 survey of high-risk populations, 43% of IV drug users had shared needles with others in the past month, and that among female sex workers, 89% were unaware of their risk of contracting HIV. A majority of sex workers, about 60%, reported inconsistent condom use. Since they have begun collecting data, says Lu, there has been...
...photography of ferries in California, Texas, Louisiana and Washington State. In yet another incident, a guard confronted three Middle Eastern men who were photographing and videotaping the Towne Square Mall in Boise, Idaho.

Film, fashion and furniture all get sucked into the vortex of this monster mash. As the Australian Centre for the Moving Image's Victoria Lynn writes in the catalog, the exhibition's approach "is more in line with the ways in which we absorb and process information today: through fragments, a myriad of databases and search engines...
...human character generally. I consider man as formed for society, and endowed by nature with those dispositions which fit him for society ... his mind is perfectible to a degree of which we cannot as yet form any conception. It is impossible for a man who takes a survey of what is already known, not to see what an immensity in every branch of science yet remains to be discovered, & that too of articles to which our faculties seem adequate...
