U.S. Herpes

_rates remain

__high – CDC


By JoAnne Allen

U.S. herpes rates remain high

 

About 16 percent of Americans

between the ages of 14 and 49

are infected with genital herpes,

making it one of the most

common sexually

transmitted diseases,

U.S. health officials

said on Tuesday.

.

.

Black women had the

highest rate of infection at

48 percent and women were

nearly twice likely as men

to be infected,

according to an analysis

by the U.S. Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention.

.

.

About 21 percent of women

were infected with genital

herpes,

compared to only

11.5 percent of men,

while 39 percent of blacks

were infected compared to

about 12 percent for whites,

the CDC said.


There is no cure

for genital herpes,

or herpes simplex

virus type 2 (HSV-2),

which can cause

recurrent and painful

genital sores and also

increases the likelihood

of acquiring and

transmitting the

AIDS virus.


It is related to herpes

simplex virus 1,

or oral herpes,

which causes

cold sores.

.

.

Several drugs are available

to treat herpes symptoms

and outbreaks,

including acyclovir,

which is available

generically or under

the Zovirax brand name,

and valacyclovir,

known generically

as Valtrex —

both made by

GlaxoSmithKline

PLC (GSK.L).


Ganciclovir,

sold as Zirgan,

is made by privately-held

Sirion Therapeutics, Inc.


The CDC estimates that

more than 80 percent of

people with genital herpes do

not know they are infected.

.

.

“The message is

herpes is quite common.

The symptoms can be

often very innocuous,”

Dr. John Douglas of the

CDC said in a teleconference.


“Because herpes is so

prevalent it becomes …

a really important reason

to use condoms on a

consistent and correct

basis with all of your partners,”

Douglas said.

.

.

Douglas said the increased

rate of infection in blacks

is not do to increased risk

behavior but likely due to

biological factors that make

women more susceptible

as well as the higher rate

of infection within black

communities.


The CDC estimates that

there are 19 million new

sexually transmitted disease

infections every year in the

United States,

costing the health care

system about $16 billion

annually.

LADY

GAGA

has taken her pledge

never to be seen in

normal clothes to a

dangerous new level,

.

the Music Biz page

of the amazing

U.K. Sun reports

March 9th, 2010.

.


.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The crackpot US singer

had to be undressed by cabin

staff on a flight from London

to America after her legs

began to swell due to

another odd outfit.


Bonkers GaGa

had boarded a long-haul

flight at Heathrow wearing

black and yellow TAPE and

giant blue shoes designed

by her pal, the late

ALEXANDER McQUEEN.

.

.

Her daft garb was so

uncomfortable it brought

on the early stages of the

potentially deadly

deep vein thrombosis.


The experienced flight crew

told GaGa she’d best get it

off quick or risk long-term

damage.

.

.

Only last week GaGa

had boasted to TV host

JONATHAN ROSS

of the lengths she would

go to to avoid wearing

comfy clothes.

.

.

She insisted:

“I would rather die

than have my fans not

see me in a pair of

high heels.


I’d never give up my

wigs and hats for anything.”


When a pop star risks

gangrenous limbs for fashion,

you can’t knock that.

.

.

MADONNA seems

dull by comparison.



Director JONAS AKERLUND

has continued the story from

where the quirky Paparazzi

vid left off.


Lady G is now locked up

in jail for killing her boyfriend –

but is having a great time

and doesn’t want to leave.


But the idea of GaGa

settling down for an eight-hour

flight to New York in huge

blue heels is priceless.

.

.

An airline source said:

GaGa was a high-risk

DVT case so she was

advised to change out

of her clothes.


But the outfit was so

cumbersome she needed

help changing out of it.


She was particularly miffed

about ditching her heels.


She was wearing them in

memory of her friend Alexander.”


It was an unusual trip even

without GaGa’s health scare.


The singer had waited to

board in the posh Concorde

Lounge of Terminal 5 with

LIAM GALLAGHER,

P DIDDY and

the GELDOF sisters.


That group definitely

have a story or two to

share about fashion nightmares.

.

.

When GaGa appeared

on the Jonathan Ross show

they chatted about Slankets –

blankets with sleeves.


And she even gave him

one as a gift afterwards.


Sounds like she’d have been

better off wearing one of the

cosy covers on the flight.


I’m sure her fans

wouldn’t be too offended.

Woman,

101,

grows horn


_____March 9th, 2010


___ANANOVA


A 101-year-old woman has

grown a horn on her head -

and now fears she’s

growing another one.


Zhang Ruifang,

of Linlou village,

in central China’s Henan province,

noticed a small lump on

her forehead last year.


But it is now six centimetres long –

and a small lump has now

appeared on the other side

of her forehead.


Her youngest son,

Zhang Guozheng, 60,

said the horn started

as a patch of thick,

rough skin on the left

side of her forehead.


“We didn’t pay too much

attention to it at first,”

he said.

“But as time went on

it just grew and grew.


“And now there is

something growing on

the right side of her

forehead and it seems

quite possible that

it’s another horn.”


Zhang has seven children –

six boys and a girl –

and many grandchildren.


Her eldest son

is 82-years-old.


The family live in a rural

area and don’t have the money

to send her to hospital –

but they say she is in no

pain and enjoys a peaceful life.

Baby Born

With Tail


_____March 8th, 2010


___ANANOVA


Surgeons in China

have operated to remove

a five inch tail from a

four-month-old baby girl.


The little girl,

called Hong Hong,

was born with the tail

but it had since doubled in size,

reports the Anhui Market Daily.


Her father,

Hou,

of Lixing town in eastern

China’s Anhui province,

said he had been “shocked”

to see the tail at birth.


“I wanted to cut it off

when she was born,

but doctors suggested

we wait some time,

as a newborn is too weak

to take such a surgery,”

he said.


He checked the tail each day,

hoping it would get smaller

but instead it just

“grew bigger and bigger”,

he added.


Doctors at the Anhui Provincial

Children’s Hospital said they

too had been surprised

by the case.


“It’s very rare,

about one in a million.


We have never seen

anything like this before,”

said Dr Sun Jun.


X-rays had shown that

the tail was connected to

a fatty tumor within

the spinal column.


Dr Sun said the surgery

had been successful, but

it was still too early to

say whether further

treatment would be necessary.

Watching the movie
“The Hurt Locker” on
cable just a few minutes
ago,
I can see why it won so
many Oscar Awards.

Jeremy Renner was so real,
I could not imagine anyone
else in the part.

The directing by Kathryn
Bigelow was outstanding.

This was not a cookie cutter
Hollywood movie with the
big names in every scene
that kept reminding you you
were watching a movie.
.
.
I was in the Marines but
I never saw combat,
but the action scenes looked
real to me,
not that I would know.

The one thing I kept
hearing about this film before
I saw it was that it was
“anti-military”.

I saw none of that.

It showed the Army
in a true light,
regular people being heros
every day in the fog of war
where few things are as they
seem and nothing is black
and white but all shades
of gray.

Soldiers risking their lives
daily because of a deep
conviction that it was the
right thing to do.

I found this movie very
pro military,
a refreshing change from
the Oliver Stone school
of film making.
.
.
It made me feel good
to have served,
and it made me feel guilty
that I did not fight in combat
because I served in peacetime.

This movie was patriotic
without flag waving or
lofty speeches.

This movie made me
proud to be an American
and even more determined
to save our land from the
slippery slope of Socialism
which leads to Communism.

That “The Hurt Locker”
won so many Oscars tells
me one more thing.

Hollywood is not as Left
Wing anti-American as
it has been for decades.

There may be hope
for Tinseltown yet.

A special effects technician
was left permanently injured
on the set of Oscar-winning
war drama The Hurt Locker
when explosive powder
accidentally ignited feet
away from star
Jeremy Renner,
WENN reports March 9th, 2010.

The actor,
who played an explosives
defuser in the gritty film,
was terrified when the unnamed
crew member attempted to fashion
a bomb but accidentally created
a massive blast on the desert
set in Jordan.

The star wasn’t hurt in the accident,
but the specialist wasn’t so lucky.
.
.
Renner recalls,
“Our special-effects guy had
to use Chinese fireworks for
gunpowder.

He had to break them in
half and grind them out.

“So he’s doing this on a rock,
the heat’s getting to him,
and he doesn’t realise that the
heat’s also going on
the black powder,
and he’s creating friction,
so it blows up in his face.

I was two feet away,
and it literally fried his nose off.

“His vision and his
ears were all messed up,
but he was back to work
two days later.

He’s all right now,
but I’m sure he’ll
forever be damaged.”

I want
everyone
to see
my d***’


By Tim Nixon

____February 23rd, 2010


Gordon Smart’s
Bizarre page

The U.K. Sun


THESUN.CO.UK



LADY GAGA

lives up to her wacky image-

admitting she can

understand how the

rumour that she’s

a hermaphrodite started.

.

.

_______

.


The US singer –

who sports a fake bulge

under her trousers on the

latest cover of Q mag –

has been the subject of

frenzied speculation over

the state of her genitals.


And Gaga has played

up to the gossips,

telling Q:

.

“We all know that

one of the biggest

talking points of the

year was that I have

a d***,

so why not give them

what they want?


“I want to wear

a d*** strapped

to my vagina.


“I also carry myself

onstage in a masculine

way and sing in

a low register.


This is not out

of nowhere,

right?


“I want to comment

on that in a beautiful,

artistic way.


How I wanna show it.


And I want to

call this piece

Lady Gaga Dies Hard.”

.

.


The Poker Face star

also blasted draconian

attitudes to women

who sleep around.


She added:

.

“When a guy says,

‘Oh I f***** all

these chicks this week,’

there’s a high-five

and giggling.


“But when a woman

does it and its publicised

or she’s open about her

sexuality or she’s free

or liberated,

it’s,

‘Oh, she must

have a d***.’


“There’s a threat.”
