WASHINGTON (AP) – A baby born with the virus that causes AIDS appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who’s now 2½ and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection.
There’s no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus’ genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world’s second reported cure.
Specialists say Sunday’s announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus.
“You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we’ve seen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn’t diagnosed until she was in labor.
“I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and deserved our best shot,” Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby’s blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child “functionally cured,” meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven’t been completely eradicated.
Next, Persaud’s team is planning a study to try to prove that, with more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. “Maybe we’ll be able to block this reservoir seeding,” Persaud said.
No one should stop anti-AIDS drugs as a result of this case, Fauci cautioned.
But “it opens up a lot of doors” to research if other children can be helped, he said. “It makes perfect sense what happened.”
Better than treatment is to prevent babies from being born with HIV in the first place.
About 300,000 children were born with HIV in 2011, mostly in poor countries where only about 60 percent of infected pregnant women get treatment that can keep them from passing the virus to their babies. In the U.S., such births are very rare because HIV testing and treatment long have been part of prenatal care.
“We can’t promise to cure babies who are infected. We can promise to prevent the vast majority of transmissions if the moms are tested during every pregnancy,” Gay stressed.
The only other person considered cured of the AIDS virus underwent a very different and risky kind of treatment – a bone marrow transplant from a special donor, one of the rare people who is naturally resistant to HIV. Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco has not needed HIV medications in the five years since that transplant.
The Mississippi case shows “there may be different cures for different populations of HIV-infected people,” said Dr. Rowena Johnston of amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. That group funded Persaud’s team to explore possible cases of pediatric cures.
It also suggests that scientists should look back at other children who’ve been treated since shortly after birth, including some reports of possible cures in the late 1990s that were dismissed at the time, said Dr. Steven Deeks of the University of California, San Francisco, who also has seen the findings.
“This will likely inspire the field, make people more optimistic that this is possible,” he said.
In the Mississippi case, the mother had had no prenatal care when she came to a rural emergency room in advanced labor. A rapid test detected HIV. In such cases, doctors typically give the newborn low-dose medication in hopes of preventing HIV from taking root. But the small hospital didn’t have the proper liquid kind, and sent the infant to Gay’s medical center. She gave the baby higher treatment-level doses.
The child responded well through age 18 months, when the family temporarily quit returning and stopped treatment, researchers said. When they returned several months later, remarkably, Gay’s standard tests detected no virus in the child’s blood.
Ten months after treatment stopped, a battery of super-sensitive tests at half a dozen laboratories found no sign of the virus’ return. There were only some remnants of genetic material that don’t appear able to replicate, Persaud said.
In Mississippi, Gay gives the child a check-up every few months: “I just check for the virus and keep praying that it stays gone.”
The mother’s HIV is being controlled with medication and she is “quite excited for her child,” Gay added.

And I would’ve done the same thing too !!
Tennessee Maintenance Worker Walter Slonopas, 52, quit has job at Contech Casting LLC after his W-2 was sent to his home, stamped with the Number “666″. The company claims their payroll paperwork was outsourced to a separate company, and the company just so happened to decide to number all the forms that were sent out, leaving Walter with the unfortunate circumstances of being left with The Mark of the Beast.
But if you think that’s no big deal.. take the fact that on Walter’s first day on the job in 2011, he was supposed to receive a Time Card with his Employee Number #668. However, due to an “error” in the Human Resources Department, he received a Time Card with the Employee Number #666 instead. He complained about it at the time, and had the number changed after already threatening to quit.
Walter has told The Tennessean, who broke the story.. that “God is more important than Money“, and that if he were to accept the form, he would be condemned to Hell. While that may be a bit much.. I’ll tell you one thing. If on my First Day on the Job I received a Time Card with the Number 666 on it… I would have FOR SURE Bounced right then and there. I would have taken it and accepted it as a sign that the job just wasn’t for me.
Of course, Walter did the Rational and Reasonable thing and kept his job, but apparently receiving the W-2 was just too much for him.
Props… Cause now he’s World Famous !! And Prophecy’s Hero !!

You Will Never Be Forgotten. And Every Day We Live Will Be In Honor And Remembrance Of You... Our Dear Friend Chris Guerra
On New Year’s Day, I had just written a New Year’s Post… And In It, I gave emphasis to the hope of turning our World around.
Just a few hours later… I was a recipient of the Sudden and Tragic News , that none were able to properly confirm at the time… but that we had all hoped that there must have been some mistake. That it couldn’t be him.
We heard news that our Dear Friend Chris Guerra lost his life in pursuit of photos of Justin Bieber after his Ferrari was stopped by California Highway Patrol. Chris of course tried to get a shot of the routine stop, a risk that i’m sure he did not foresee would cost him his life.
After the officer asked for Chris to return to his Vehicle, he was struck by an SUV, an event that took Chris away from us on this Earth and his Loved Ones.
Since then, I have seen this Realm of Entertainment News Media and the people involved do some of the most shameful, and also some of the most Honorable things I have ever seen or expected from the people in this Business.
In Life... Few Could Be Happier Than Chris Living Out His Passion... And Being With Good Friends
One of our close friends was blessed enough to be the last person that Chris spoke to before leaving this Earth. Chris told him, just 30 minutes before he died, that he had seen Justin Bieber smoking what he believed to be a Marijuana Pipe, while driving his Ferrari, and that his intent was to capture an image of this. The pursuit of this goal is what shortly thereafter took his life. An event that all of us who were lucky enough to call Chris “Friend” wished we could just turn around, or prevent. But there is no turning back. 12 days has passed, and Chris is still no longer with us.
Our friend was interviewed by TMZ Live, where he told Harvey Levin that Chris was in pursuit of these photos. Less than 24 hours later, Bieber’s Camp released a statement through TMZ, stating that Chris “Absolutely Lied” about Bieber smoking pot. Less than 48 hours after that, TMZ published photos of Bieber smoking what appeared to be a Blunt full of the sticky green.
While some people out there thought “Big Deal… He’s just smoking Pot”… My answer is.. Well, it’s not a big deal that Bieber smoked pot. I’m actually inclined to believe, and I have also heard through my sources that he is in fact involved with a lot more than the Chronic. But it is the fact that he lied about a Good man, who was only being completely honest about what he saw, who tragically lost his life the day before… That is what is Evil. That they were willing to assassinate the character of a good and honest man who tragically lost his life… willing to defame a man who couldn’t defend himself… all to perpetuate your money making public image.. which turned out to be nothing but a facade. that is what is immoral.
But Chris’s name has already been vindicated. But he is still no longer with us.
Just this past Thursday, His family laid his body to rest. This actually might not have been possible if not for the help of Hollywood’s Ultimate Bad Boy… Charlie Sheen, who donated $12,000 to Chris’s family. His statement is one of the most honorable statements I would have ever imagined to come from Charlie. He simply said:
“A tragic incident like this erases the line between the photographer and the subject. It’s an unforgiving moment that begs us all to be human and work as one to prevent this in the future. As parents, we are all not supposed to bury our children. My deepest condolences to the families involved. “
Chris Guerra... He Now Has His Angel Wings... Guaranteed. And He Is Watching Over All Those He Loved While Here On Earth
God Gained A Great Soul That Day
- You Were Our Friend On Earth. Now Our Angel In Heaven. We Will Always Love You And Miss You Chris
Don't Be Sad. The World As We Know It NEEDS To End
So far so good. Our Planet is still in Tact. No fragments of Earth in Space that we have to jump around on with the deep void of cold outer space around us.
It is December 21st, 2012 and we are all still able to live and breathe on Planet Earth. Let Today be the day we finally “dead” our past, and move on to brighter futures.
If recent events have not shown you already… We As A People Are Losing The War Over Ourselves !! We Are Losing Left And Right.
It is now Our Responsibility to start taking Stands… And I Mean Serious Stands for What Is Right. And if you don’t know what that is.. then let your first job be seeking after Truth and Knowledge.
Life is a Gift. We were All thrown into this same one World and we will each have to depart from it one day.. Either Individually… or as a Whole the next time we try to predict a Doomsday… Or Even Worse… If the Doomsday Is By Our Own Hands.
Don’t Get It Twisted. These Are Still Very Clearly The Last Days. So Save Your Soul.
Cause It’s The Only Thing You’re Taking With You.
God Bless.. Happy Holidays… And Thankfully… Look Forward To A Happy 2013

Somebody's Happy
Lucky Bastards !!
2 tickets had the astronomical luck of hitting the record-breaking Powerball on November 28th, 2012, in the amount of $587.5 Million Dollars, according to the Powerball Website. So either 2 individuals, or groups of Individuals, will be walking away with about $150 Million after taxes, if they choose the lump sum cash amount. Which I would, considering nobody can guarantee life for 25 years.
There were about 9 Million other smaller prizes awarded (sux for them), scattered throughout the 31 states that play the game. This is the 2nd highest Lottery Prize in the World, after the $656 Million Dollar Prize that was given to 3 winning Mega Millions ticket holders in March of this year.
The winning Powerball Numbers are 5-16-22-23-29 and the Powerball number is 6

No Drake Left Behind
Not that he really needed it at this point… But I guess when you’re 25 sittin on 25 Mill… Graduatin High School’s a Part of the Deal.
Props to Drake who apparently has been taking GED courses over the last 5 months and graduated with flying colors after passing his final exam with 97%
Contrary to DMX’s opinion, i actually have much props for Drake’s talents and abilities, and kinda glad he didn’t focus on meaningless things like graduating high school. Ha !! I say meaningless only because I don’t believe in formal education, at least not in the United States where it’s filled with lies and attempts to actually lower our intelligence as evidenced by our declining education over the last generation or so.
But Drake found it necessary. Maybe he wants to go to college too. Phuck that szchitt homey. Keep making music.

Whether Plasmas, Tubes Or Even L.E.D.'s... Lizzi & Parisi R 2 Hott 4 T.V.
Sources reveal that Two of the Most Challenging TV Personalities & Socialites, both of whom share the same Italian Aristocratic Background… Have teamed up to do a Television Reality Show after several years of Friendship. The very targeted and lovable Sabrina A. Parisi and Queen of Controversy Vikki Lizzi.. Who was named the #2 Reality Villain of All Time in 2008 by ABC News.
From Moment One, Parisi and Lizzi’s friendship began in quite the unconventional manner they were introduced by a Random Paparazzi on the Red Carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas for 2007… And Like a Hollywood Fairytale their bonding on the red carpet was captured not only by the paps but also by the camera crew filming for Parisi’s TV special “Don’t Call Me Paris” for one of Europe‘s largest network’s Nova Television. Unlike many Hollywood fairy-tales and (un)True Hollywood Stories, they both managed to keep their friendship sturdy and now according to sources, they just finished filming a TV special for TLC which airs in October and the Flynamic Duo are also in the planning the preliminary stages of THEIR OWN SHOW. I wonder what this is going to be about.. One never knows with these two Italians in America…
And ya aynt hurr from me.. but apparently the show’s production is being quite hush hush about its special plot.. but it is confirmed that there were some awkward conflicts along with mounting tensions behind the scenes with some of the cast members. Sounds like the recipe for success in the realm of Too Hot For Reality T.V.
See No Need 2 Adjust Ur Screens... You're In The Presence Of Heavenly Beings
But Props to Prophecy, who will likely be the first to find out… in the meantime.. we will be patiently waiting…

A Clever Man made History this week in the Endless War between Civilians and the Police.
He decided to pay his $137 Traffic Citation to the Station in the form of 137 $1 Bills in the form of Origami Pigs. Then threw them into 2 Donut Boxes in such a beautiful arrangement.
Smart thing for him he decided to YouTube it of course, Published On September 11th No Less, for the first video under the Moniker “Bacon Moose” to make sure this Historic event would be seen Forever & Ever all Across the Globe.
An Army Of 1... Hundred and Thirty Seven Origami Dollar Cops.. I mean Pigs In Donut Carriers
This Dude probably did something that Everyone wished they could do… but Had the Balls To Do It. As well as the Patience and Skill. Props to Him for making a statement and solidifying a Moment in Time in Such a Historic Way.
But in the End… “The Man” Still won. Making the guy undo his every Dollar before accepting payment.
Hey, as long as he got the video.
