NYTimes’ famous editorial author Thomas L. Friedman uses Wall Street Journal reporter’s direct quote in his opinion piece.
The City of New York is doing something truly brilliant by offering an H.I.V test to all those who enter public health clinics and hospitals.
I remember when I went to Bronx Science, one year a panel of people came to the school and told us that the district in which the magnet school is located has the higher percentage of AIDS in the United States.
I don’t know if that statistic is still accurate, but it sure as hell makes sense to do what NYC is planning.

You’ve heard of crazy bartering stories. I’ve heard them too, but never actually tried it out on my own.
Yesterday I went to sit down at Dr. Swati’s dental office as I often do when I find myself bored. We talk about everything from the local food to differences in dental school and dental practice in the U.S. & India.
For some reason she had a bag of green chilis laying on her desk yesterday. She said they were for home - as they go through a lot of chilis. She asked if I would eat one. I said sure I’ll eat one - but for each one I eat, you have to give me a free filling. (I have 3 cavities.) She agreed.
I was able to eat only 2 chilis. A lot of pain, a lot of tears, and a lot of burning happened when I ate these raw chilis - chewed them thoroughly - but at the end of it, here I sit today in front of you with 3 fillings having paid for only 2.
Now that’s hot.
Blue is a good color for peace I feel. I think I’ll be changing the colors monthly on the site. Maybe less, maybe more. But changing colors feels good, you know? There’s no rule that says that a blog can’t change colors.
Maybe there is but I feel rebellious.
