CDC: HIV cases increase for gay men, decline for Black women. "Between 2008 and 2010, the number of newly infected black women dropped 21 percent, according to the CDC report.

Can pink and poison save the rhino? "Materials are not exactly injected but rather, as the Rhino Rescue Project says, "infused into the horn using a patented high-pressure device."

But the point of the song is the importance of living every day to the fullest and staying young at heart, and these are things I truly believe."
