Chicago has one of the largest and most active AIDS service organizations in the United States. They have recently unveiled an impressive new Web site that caters for people newly-diagnosed with HIV, which causes AIDS. About 40,000 people in the State of Illinois, where Chicago is located, are living with HIV and AIDS, with about 1,000 adults being diagnosed every year.
The PEERSpeak Web site provides a creative approach to the subject by using fictional characters to illustrate the challenges people face when they get a diagnosis. The content was developed by people living with HIV/ AIDS who know how overwhelming it can be to cope with the medical and social consequences of their condition.
It provides information for those who have recently been diagnosed with the virus and have no one to talk to, as well as those who are interested in providing helpful information to people living with the virus.
The characters range from a woman who was recently diagnosed with HIV after being insisted on having unprotected sex from her boyfriend to a former heroin user who is trying to get his act together to fight his infection to a gay man who is undergoing denial, which usually accompanies an HIV diagnosis.
The site was developed by Test Positive Awareness Network together with the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. The National Library of Medicine awarded a $60,000 grant to the organization, while NogginLabs built the site on a pro bono basis.

WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..more wait ..
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

This info is priceless. How can I find out more?
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I impressed reading your article. I keep searching for some good ideas about this on Yahoo. Great then for having some points on your ideas, I will be save this. Keep the good job but Ill be in touch. Lookin’ forward
