A Doctor Who Died In The Pittsburgh Shooting Is Being Remembered As A Hero To Patients During The AIDS Crisis

"He would hold my hand, without gloves, when I was feeling really bad," one of his patients said. He "kept us alive the longest."

Throughout his career, Rabinowitz continued to support and champion the LGBT community, dedicating his time to treating people with HIV and AIDS, according to the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, which published a report chronicling the fight against AIDS in Pittsburgh from 1981–2014.

“There were a handful who openly welcomed and accepted patients with AIDS. There were no treatment protocols yet, so these doctors and their patients used whatever information they could gather to develop treatment plans. They learned together,” one of the report’s authors wrote, referencing Rabinowitz.

Probably the coolest thing to ever happen to me was earlier today when the singer of Municipal Waste liked my Halloween costume enough to regram it.

Jonah Hill’s directorial début, “Mid90s,” tells a coming-of-age story that is timeless, but the setting couldn’t be more specific. The movie takes place in the tiny, beloved gap between two great waves of popularity in the history of skateboarding: the vert-ramp craze of the 1980s (when Tony Hawk was a gangly teen-age genius) and the corporate craze of the late 90s (when Tony Hawk became Tony Hawk) that followed the high television ratings for this new “extreme” sport.

“Thank YOU,” writes Cara Christensen, a first-grade teacher in Washington State who read NPR’s deep-dive into the troubled Public Service Loan Forgiveness program (PSLF). The reporting, she says, “made me feel not so alone.”

We received dozens of e-mails, tweets and Facebook comments from aggrieved borrowers responding to news that, over the past year, 99 percent of applications for the popular loan-forgiveness program have been denied.

PSLF offers the promise of loan forgiveness to nurses, teachers, first-responders and other student borrowers who work in public service for 10 years while keeping up with their loan payments. But it has been plagued by poor communication from the U.S. Department of Education and mismanaged by servicing companies the department pays to run its trillion-dollar student loan portfolio.

Many borrowers who wrote in share eerily similar stories, of making payments for years, while working in public service, only to find out they don’t yet qualify for the program because of a technicality. Perhaps, they’re enrolled in the wrong repayment plan or hold the wrong type of loan.
