AIDS threatens elderly but stigma hinders treatment

AIDS threatens elderly but stigma hinders treatment
China has reported a soaring number of the elderly living with HIV/AIDS, but gettingjewelry shopthem treatment remains a thorny task for grassroots medical professionals as the stigma of the incurable epidemic lingers.
Figures revealed Wednesday by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that the number of HIV-positive men in their 60s and above accounted for 8.9 percent of the country'scheap wholesale jewelry total last year, while the group only took up 2.2 percent in 2005.
The surge in HIV infections among the elderly was mainly caused by elderly men's increasing involvement in sexual services, as their sexually active period has been prolonged due to improved living standards and health conditions, according to Wu Zunyou, director of the CDC HIV/AIDS prevention and control center.
"Some old men have adopted a more open attitude to sex than before, and nowadays, they have more access to commercial sex, especially cheap services," said Lu Lin, directorjewelry storesof the CDC in the southwestern Yunnan province.
In addition, the increasing number of the HIV-positive elderly also resulted from the country's intensifying HIV testing efforts, Lu added.
"Many old people living with HIV refuse to receive treatment. Some of them are retired government employees," said Kang Jun, head of the HIV/AIDS prevention and control office in Yunnan's Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture.
Their primary concern is that if they accept treatment, their situation will be made public, and they will therefore "lose face," according to Kang.
Despite years of anti-discrimination campaigns in China, HIV/AIDS is still deemed as disgraceful by many people and patients themselves.
Influenced by the Confucian thoughts, Chinese culture places high value on an individual's reputation, especially the older generation, who are more tied to tradition.
Another justification for discount fashion jewelryrefusing treatment given by some HIV-infected elderly individuals is that "they are already old and don't have much time to live anyway," Kang said.

'Twilight' stars leave imprint on Hollywood

'Twilight' stars leave imprint on Hollywood

"Twilight" actors Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, made their mark on Hollywood yesterday, leaving imprints of their hands and feet outside Grauman's Chinese Theater.,BlackBerry Wholesale,

The "Twilight" stars were greeted by hundreds of screaming fans as they added their hand and footprints to those left by Charlie Chaplin, Frank Sinatra and dozens of other movie icons in past years, in the cement outside the movie theater.

"I've been so enamored by this 'business,' I think this is the coolest thing I've ever done in my life,,Bears football jerseys cheap," said 21-year-old Stewart, who plays Bella Swan in the vampire romance.

Pattinson, 25, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the films, thanked the fans for their support.

"This is just an incredible honor, as to how young we are, it's kind of ridiculous and amazing at the same time.Prada handbag sale And it's all down to you guys to drive this franchise forward," he said.

Lautner, 19, who plays werewolf Jacob Black, added, "There are a few moments that mean so much, it's really even hard to explain, and this is definitely one of those.

The "Twilight" films are based on a series of best-selling novels by author Stephenie Meyer and tell the story of a young girl falling in love with a vampire boy in a world where vampires and werewolves roam in disguise among the living.

The first three films, produced by independent studio Summit Entertainment,,Air Jordan Shoes, have made more than US$1.8 billion at the worldwide box office, according to Box Office Mojo.

Tokyo takes twin-track approach to Beijing

Tokyo takes twin-track approach to Beijing

With the increasingly skeptical tone of some of its statements regarding China, Japan's new administration has opted for a twin-track approach in its dealings with Beijing,NEC Projector Lamp showing caution on security issues but wishing to be cooperative in the economic field, analysts said.

In a recent interview with Financial Times,,Moncler men jackets, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda called for closer co-operation among regional neighbors to persuade China's military to abide by "common maritime rules".

"(We will) appeal in all kinds of meetings for China to abide by the rules," Noda said. "The important thing is to create an environment where China will make a positive contribution to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region."

"The implicit message he sent is China doesn't conform to international rules,discounted designer handbags " said Liu Jiangyong, a professor of Japanese studies at Tsinghua University.

But that is groundless as Noda didn't specify where and when China had failed to conform to international rules, said Liu.

For example, Japan criticized the activities of Chinese vessels and aircraft in the East China Sea, but part of that sea is disputed by China and Japan, said Liu.

"Noda doesn't appear to want to solve problems. His remarks just complicate matters," said Ma Gang, a professor at the National Defense University in Beijing.

In the interview, Noda also said he hoped there would be discussion of the issue at this month's East Asia Summit in Bali, Indonesia.

Noda's remark was one of several since he took office in early September, in which he bluntly expressed concern over the speed and "opaqueness" of China's military development, according to Yang Bojiang,Moncler women's jackets a professor of Japanese studies at the Beijing-based University of International Relations.

What is more worrying is that Noda's rhetoric is accompanied by action. Japan's Self- Defense Forces are deploying forces from northern Hokkaido to the nation's southwestern islands to carry out a military exercise this month, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.

This is in line with a medium- and long-term shift in Japan's defense strategy from the north to the southwest, which was outlined in the new National Defense Program Outline adopted last year.

Seeing China as a potential rival, according to Liu, contributed considerably to the strategic shift.

Japan has also weighed in on the South China Sea issue, citing "freedom of navigation" as the cause for its concern.

In a September joint statement, Noda and visiting Philippine President Benigno Aquino called for compliance with international norms in seeking a solution to disputes in the South China Sea.

Japan has no territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea. China has made clear that internationalizing the South China Sea issue would only make the issue more complicated.

"Japan's involvement in the South China Sea is in response to US claims of interest in the area," Yang said.

Tokyo and Beijing had a diplomatic spat in September 2010 in the East China Sea. Japan detained a Chinese fishing boat captain whose vessel had collided with Japanese coastguard ships in waters near China's Diaoyu Islands. The captain was later released, but not before relations had been damaged.

Despite taking a suspicious and critical stance toward China on the strategic and security front, Japan wants to cash in on rapid economic development in China, the second-largest economy in the world and Japan's largest trading partner, experts said.

In his interview with the Financial Times, Noda stressed Japan wanted a "win-win" strategic partnership with China.

However, the hotly debated Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) may hamper China-Japan economic ties.

Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, the nation's most widely circulated newspaper, said in an editorial that the TPP has the tacit purpose of countering China.

"Obviously there is a China consideration," said Yang. "TPP is the economic part of Washington's 'return to Asia' strategy. It risks undermining the current economic cooperation framework such as APEC and ASEAN plus 3 (China, South Korea and Japan) and reducing China's economic influence."

However, Japan does not embrace the TPP whole-heartedly as it faces strong opposition from domestic farmers because it threatens the price advantage they currently enjoy.

Mainichi Shimbun, another major newspaper in Japan, recently described Noda's foreign policy as "leaning toward a Japan-US alliance, countering China, and lacking diplomatic channels with China".

The description, according to Chinese experts, is generally true. "Noda's cabinet lacks China hands who can ease China-Japan relations," said Yang.

Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Genba will visit Beijing on Nov 22 and 23 in preparation for Noda's first visit to China, according to Kyodo News Agency. Noda has already visited to the US and South Korea since taking office.

Toyota's new robots can aid the disabled

Toyota's new robots can aid the disabled

TOYOTA unveiled its ambitions for high-tech health care yesterday, displaying experimental robots that the auto giant says can lift disabled patients from their hospital beds or help them walk.

The company aims to commercialize products such as its "independent walk assist" device sometime after 2013 - seeking to position itself in an industry with great potential in Japan, one of the world's most rapidly aging nations.

Eiichi Saitoh, a professor in rehabilitation medicine, demonstrated the "walk assist" device yesterday, strapping the computerized metallic brace onto his right leg, which was paralyzed by polio.

He showed reporters at a Toyota facility in Tokyo how the brace could bend at the knee as needed, allowing him to walk more naturally and rise from a chair with greater ease than the walker he now uses. Wearing a backpack-like battery,Demeco Ryans white jerseys Saitoh walked up and down a flight of stairs, smiling with delight.

Saitoh said he had tried Toyota's machines with patients and was confident they helped people recover more quickly from strokes and other ailments that curtailed movement. "It may be difficult to predict the future, but the era of an aging society is definitely coming," he said. "We need partner robots to enrich our lives."

Toyota also demonstrated an intelligent machine with padded arms that can help health care workers lift disabled patients from their beds and then carry them around. Another mobility aid worked like a skateboard to help people relearn balance.

Toyota officials said technology for autos such as sensors, motors and computer software are being used in such computerized gadgets to help people get around, and what they learn about mobility for people will likely be of use in future cars.

Prices and overseas sales plans of all the machines are still undecided,,cheap adidas shoes, Toyota said.

Toyota has previously shown human-shaped robots that played the trumpet and violin, and those that move around and talk about Toyota cars at showrooms.

Rival automaker Honda Motor Co has developed a sophisticated humanoid robot called Asimo, which can run, talk and dance.Sanyo Projector Lamp But Asimo has been limited to showrooms and labs and has yet to enter any hospital or home.

Toyota faces competition from other firms that are all working on gadgets to tap into the health care business. Honda also has demonstrated machines worn on the legs that help people move. General Manager Akifumi Tamaoki said Toyota is keeping its offerings simple, compared to those from Honda, so they can enter everyday life easily.,Cheap authentic nfl jerseys,

Storm no longer star-smothered

NRL: Storm no longer star-smothered

There's a story that occasionally bounces around footy circles about a journalist who once compared the merits of a Manly line-up to that of the Warriors before the first game of an NRL season.

The upshot of the piece was that not many of the Manly side would get a run with the Warriors. Manly coach Des Hasler allegedly pasted the story to the Sea Eagles' dressing room wall, and later identified it as motivating his side to post an emphatic victory.

Hardly a surprise, then, that Warriors captain Simon Mannering was reluctant to enter into a discussion about the relative strengths of the Melbourne Storm team sheet post salary cap scandal.

Mannering was particularly sensitive to suggestions that the Storm pack isn't what it used to be.

"It is easy to look at a team list and say 'we are better than them'," Mannering said. "But it is a matter of doing the job on the field.

"I am definitely not going to talk down their forwards at all. They have done a job for them all year. It is not how good their team looks on paper, it is what they do on the field. And it is going to be a very tough battle [tomorrow night]."

All true enough. Also true, however, is the fact the Warriors wouldn't swap many of their forwards for those in the Melbourne line-up. The Storm may still be a major power, but they aren't the star-smothered side they were before being to forced to dump a good few hundred thousand bucks of illegal salary.

Consider the names missing from the Storm side that somehow lost to the Warriors the last time these two sides met in the finals in 2008. Gone from the starting line-up that day are Greg Inglis, Israel Folau, Dallas Johnson,,Anime supplier, Ryan Hoffman, Michael Crocker, Jeff Lima and Brett White. On the bench, somewhat incredibly, sat Jeremy Smith, Adam Blair and Antonio Kaufusi.

A 2011 replacement corps that includes Bryan Norrie, Jesse Bromwich, Kevin Proctor and Jaiman Lowe may have more than held its own this year, but they aren't about to put the fear of god into any side or, for that matter, blow out too many wage bills.

"They stick to the same structure that has worked for them before and obviously they are very well coached and very well directed around the footy field," Mannering said. "So I don't think they have changed too much."

Maybe not, but the Warriors certainly have. Just five players remain from the side that beat Melbourne on that famous Sunday afternoon when Michael Witt, to the consternation of every Kiwi watching, held the ball aloft in triumph before grounding it for the winning try.

One area where the Storm most certainly will have an advantage is conditioning. Having been battered in Brisbane and surviving a heart-stopper in Sydney, the Warriors will surely be weary when they pitch up in Melbourne. The Storm, by contrast, have had two weeks to ensure they are primed to book their grand final spot.

"That is the advantage of finishing top of the table,,starcraft 2 Coaching," Mannering said. "You get the week off between games. ... But we are here now and you can't be looking back or feeling sorry for yourself because you have travelled [to Australia] and back a few times.,Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys, It is game on. It is a big occasion and one we have to be up for."

Cleary interprets a rugged schedule that has sent his side across the Tasman for five of the last six weekends and pitted them against finals contenders in five successive weeks as a positive.

His players, he said, should be well-used to the rigours of life on the road.

"It is an issue but you can see the finish line,,wholesales mac Lip gloss, so you try to put that sort of thing to the back of your mind," he said. "There are certainly no excuses about being match fit for this game."
