Just heard on NPR that someone has come up with a pill that prevents HIV transmission 90% of the time.
Link?

Not the NPR article, but what literally 5 FUCKING SECONDS OF GOOGLING found:

QuoteThe Food and Drug Administration approved Monday the first pill aimed at preventing HIV infections in healthy people who risk contracting the disease through unsafe sex.

The medication, Truvada, is the first drug shown to protect people from becoming ­infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. It is already used to treat HIV-positive ­patients.
...
If participants stuck with the regimen and had high levels of the drug in their blood, Mayer said, they were less likely to get HIV, with protection rates approaching 90 percent.

Another trial involving heterosexual couples where one partner was infected and condoms were used routinely found Truvada reduced the risk of infections by 75 percent.

#6 Los Angeles Dodgers ($1.4 billion)

:blink:

That's only due to the recent acquisition, and includes all the parking assets as well.  6 months ago, they weren't worth that much.


Redskins is the one that surprises me. Worth more than the Pats. They must have extra assets too. Good on them.

One thing the Skins have is ownership of the stadium.
