The life and times of Johnny Manziel

COLLEGE STATION ? The complicated life of Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, just got quite a bit more complex.

The NCAA is investigating Manziel on whether he was ?paid for signing hundreds of autographs on photos and sports memorabilia in January,? ESPN?s Outside the Lines has reported.

According to an online ESPN.com story: ?Two sources tell ?Outside the Lines? that the Texas A&M quarterback agreed to sign memorabilia in exchange for a five-figure flat fee during his trip to Miami for the BCS National Championship Game. Both sources said they witnessed the signing, though neither saw the actual exchange of money.?

An A&M official couldn?t be reached for comment this afternoon. The Aggies reported for camp today and are scheduled to hold a press conference ? Manziel is supposed to participate ? starting 11:30 a.m. Monday. They take the field for the first time under second-year coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday evening.

Abstract (provisional)

Background

We assessed the effectiveness of an integrated individual, community, and structural intervention to reduce risks of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among female sex workers (FSWs).

Methods

Integrated individual, community, and structural interventions were implemented from 2004 to 2009 in six counties of Shandong Province. Post-intervention cross-sectional surveys were conducted in six intervention counties and 10 control counties.

Results

Of 3326 female sex workers were recruited and analyzed in the post-intervention survey with 1157 from intervention sites and 2169 from control sites. No HIV positive was found in both intervention and control counties. The rate of syphilis was 0.17% for intervention sites and 1.89% for control sites (OR = 11.1, 95%CI: 2.7, 46.1). After adjusted for age, marital status, education, economic condition, recruitment venues, the rates of condom use in the last sex with clients(AOR = 2.7; 95%CI:1.9, 3.8), with regular sex partners(AOR = 1.5; 95%CI:1.1, 1.9) and consistent condom use in the last month with clients (AOR = 3.3; 95%CI: 2.6, 4.1) and regular sex partners (AOR = 1.7; 95%CI: 1.3, 2.3) were significantly higher in intervention sites than that in control sites. The proportion of participants correctly answered at least six out of eight HIV-related questions (83.3%) in intervention sites is significant higher than that (21.9%) in control sites (AOR = 24.7; 95%CI:2.5, 42.7), the five indicators related to HIV-related intervention services ever received in the last year including HIV testing(AOR = 4.9; 95%CI: 2.8, 6.7), STD examination and/or treatment(AOR = 5.1; 95%CI:4.2, 6.4), free condom(AOR = 20.3; 95%CI:14.3, 28.9), peer education(AOR = 4.3; 95%CI:3.5, 5.4), education materials(AOR = 19.8; 95%CI:13.1, 29.8) were significantly higher in intervention sites than that in control sites, the participants in the intervention sites are more likely to seek medical treatment when they had any disorders (AOR = 3.2; 95%CI:2.5, 4.2).

Conclusion

This study found that the integrated individual, community, and structural interventions showed positive impact in reducing HIV and STI risks among FSWs.

HS State Baseball: Van Buren Stuns Don Bosco

DES MOINES, Iowa - Victory was almost near for the Don Bosco baseball team on Saturday in the state tournament.

The Dons had a 5-2 lead over Van Buren going into the bottom of the seventh inning. All they needed was three outs to advance, but Van Buren had other plans scoring five runs to tie the game.

It went into extras. In the bottom of the eighth, Van Buren had the bases loaded. Robert Barker ended up getting hit by a pitch, the winning run would score and the Warriors would shock the Dons winning 6-5 in eight innings.

Owners of both devices report that they're receiving over-the-air updates to the new OS. There isn't yet word of any GPE-specific additions, but we'll let you know if there are surprises in store.

Update: AnandTech has noticed a few GPE-specific changes. Most home screen icons appear larger, infrared now works on the HTC One, and Bluetooth-based internet tethering is now an option for the Galaxy S 4.

Union Boss Makes Case Against Arming Teachers: ?If I Make My Teacher Angry, Is My Teacher Going to Shoot Me??

New Jersey American Federation of Teachers president Donna Chiera, when asked Thursday on NBC's "Today" about how arming teachers in the classroom might impact students, had this to say:

"I would hate for students to say, 'Oh, my goodness, if I answer the wrong question, is my teacher going to shoot me? If I make my teacher angry, is my teacher going to shoot me?'"

will my teacher shoot me

Newsbusters reports that guest host Carson Daly followed up thusly: "Do you think they would they make that connection?" (And check out news reader Natalie Morales' facial expression directed toward Chiera at this point):

Chiera didn't back down; she went further:

"Because of the media and everything they've been exposed to, where people on a regular basis they see on TV, someone got mad and pulled out a gun. I also think it impacts parents. Parents many times come into classrooms to have uncomfortable conversations with teachers. And I wouldn't want parents to come in and be hesitant to say something to me with, 'Is this the teacher who's packing the gun, and what do I have to be fearful?' I think it would make an environment of fear."
