Heading into the 21st century, queer activism was at a crossroads. While the AIDS epidemic was far from over for the millions of people who lacked access to adequate health care and could not afford expensive antiretroviral therapy which cost thousands of dollars a year even with insurance many larger gay organizations had moved on from the issue. With gay marriage and access to military services held up as preeminent issues by groups like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the more radical impulses of groups like AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) shifted from center stage and into the margins of the community.
Columbus Partnership assumes active role in Downtown development
Columbus CEO
Among all of central Ohio s commercial real estate transactions in March, the one for 145 S. Front St. might have raised the most eyebrows.
The 200,000-square-foot state office building, empty since 2007, was sold for $3 million.
Instead of a developer, the buyer was the Columbus Partnership, the private, nonprofit collection of the area s most powerful corporations, which announced plans to turn the seven-story building into a mix of offices, retail space and residences.
The Partnership has been active in economic development since its founding in 2002, but until now, has stayed away from bricks-and-mortar.

BYU electrical and computer engineering professor Wood Chiang and a team of engineering students have created the world’s most efficient, high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) microchip. ADC microchips convert analog signals to digital signals. The piece is present in almost every electronic; the faster and more efficient it works the faster it is to upload and download items and other aspects like video quality, Wi-Fi and battery life improves.
Chiang and the engineering students beat the current record by a long shot. Their ADC uses only 21 milli-Watts of power at 10GHz for ultra-wideband wireless communications. In comparison, competing ADCs use hundreds of milli-Watts or even Watts of power at similar speeds. This makes their ADC faster while using less ener
