Stephanie, I can't speak to the test results, but my impression is female-to-male vaginal intercourse transmission of HIV is actually pretty rare; there's a 25% chance of transmitting the virus to a child during birth, assuming there is no treatment. If HIV status is known, they give drugs and do a C-section and the risk is very low. (This is Wikipedia talking).

There are ways today could have gotten worse.

They have happened.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just saw Jenna Fischer's dress. Oh, dear.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And the local B&N has The Book.

I bought it at the local Borders over the weekend. It's this week's lunchtime reading.

Which means I'd better get going.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

happy birthday, Lee.

Motivation for the able but unwilling.

1) rewards for perfect assignments - as in the ability to skip something. For me the killer was 30 math problems - I always did the last few, that were more complex - so that I knew what I was doing - which was the pt of the homework - If there had been some sort of system where if I did the 5 hardest correctly and didn't have to do the rest _ I would have done even better in math -

2) serious repercussions for not handing in an assignment. Even ungraded stuff has to be turn in. since this is work skills you are teaching - the consequences should be as serious as not doing something at work - x number of missed , undone or incomplete assignments means not a zero in the homework part of the grade - but a drop of a letter grade ( depends on the class - but some where between two and 5 assignments missing)
