New Scientist:The global AIDS epidemic is expanding most rapidly in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
In 2002, there were 250,000 new infections in Eastern Europe and the Central Asian republics, bringing the total for the region to 1.2 million.
...The sharing of needles by drug users is the main route of HIV transmission in these countries. |

| Classical Dogs |

Dogs prefer Bach to Britney
The dogs made most noise when listening to Metallica. But classical music calmed them down, making them rest more and stand up less. Ironically, Bach (as well as the other classics) had them barking least of all. Pop music made little difference to their behaviour, compared with silence.
There have been numerous studies on animal reactions to music, including one finding that cows produce more milk when they are played slower tunes and another that playing a radio increases egg production in hens |

four love haikus
*******
watching sperm whales
jumping up and down the ocean -
Maui vacations
*******
a night flower
moth feels the petals
wings go down and up …
*******
thousand waves
coming three and one, three and one -
hot sand soaked wet
*******
wind touching the cliff
slips around in ripples -
birds rise up and cry
*******
