@Josh- Great AIDS post! (srsly)
HIV CURED
for sweet, simple adam: the huffington post
for everyone else:
HIV entry into CD4+ cells requires interaction with a cellular receptor, generally either CCR5 or CXCR4. We have previously reported the case of an HIV-infected patient in whom viral replication remained absent despite discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy after transplantation with CCR5
32/32 stem cells. However, it was expected that the long-lived viral reservoir would lead to HIV rebound and disease progression during the process of immune reconstitution. In the present study, we demonstrate successful reconstitution of CD4+ T cells at the systemic level as well as in the gut mucosal immune system following CCR532/32 stem cell transplantation, while the patient remains without any sign of HIV infection. This was observed although recovered CD4+ T cells contain a high proportion of activated memory CD4+ T cells, i.e. the preferential targets of HIV, and are susceptible to productive infection with CXCR4-tropic HIV. Furthermore, during the process of immune reconstitution, we found evidence for the replacement of long-lived host tissue cells with donor-derived cells indicating that the size of the viral reservoir has been reduced over time. In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that cure of HIV has been achieved in this patient.

R. Kelly - A Tribute
R. Kelly on Fallon a couple nights ago showed off a new soultry sultry sound that should make the cut on more than a few background-music-to-boning mix tapes. After seeing it though, it did cause me to reminisce on the legend of Kels--here's just a taste of his greatness....
Oh and if you haven't seen Aziz Ansari's bit on him, check it out now.

New music: J Roddy Walston and The Business
Hey fellas --
Remember how you started listening to Kings of Leon before everyone else did? Then The Hold Steady came along, and you we're early for that party, too? You should hope J Roddy Walston and The Business comes to your bar soon. You have to figure a man doesn't make the album cover a photo of himself face-down, passed-out for nothing.
In a sign of the times, the credit for this find goes to Andy Klatt. Which means that if you happen to hate all the fun J Roddy is having, Andy deserves blame.

We are getting the band back together
Exactly 1/2 fortnight from today, Zach and I will be opening our doors for an evening of pre-gramming, to be followed by the bars. Let's get all the out-of-towners under one roof and then get silly.
We made a facebook event, so I expect anywhere from 9-13 non-blog members to attend.
Looking forward to seeing everyone...
Josh- just to confirm in case you call me again at 3:30 looking for a vacant bedroom in which to fellatiace (not sure how to spell the verb form of this) a girl, we still do not have a 3rd bedroom.

| Bangs, beanie, tight esoterically-designed t-shirt, ironic finger-mustache tattoo... Looook out, Josh! |
A white person getting a tattoo is a major step in their life as it presupposes that their taste at this given moment is good enough to sustain them for the rest of their lives. Needless to say, this is a near impossible task. This is why you don’t see a lot of white people with R.E.M. or Strokes tattoos.
White people can only get tattoos of the only thing that they are guaranteed to like in five years, and needless to say it’s a short list. But two things will never go out of style with white people: humor and irony.
An ironic/funny tat can come in many forms: a piece of bacon, old Nintendo characters, mustaches on the inside of their finger, or Asian Characters that say something funny and self-aware like “dim sum,”"chicken fried rice,” or “I can’t read Chinese.”
The Chinese or Japanese character is an interesting case study about the dangers of getting a tattoo with a personal meaning. You see, about fifteen years ago these were considered to be acceptable. Then the wrong kind of white people started getting sentences like “trust no one” or words like “beauty,” “truth,” or “endurance.” To make a more modern analogy, it would be like The Arcade Fire being featured on a Jock Jams CD.
White people learned their lesson.

from the david klatt school of gournalism
and from the ongoing annals of Everything Kanye Does is Perfect, his speech after winning Stylemaker of the Year from some dingles:
The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, "What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?" And, "How does creativity apply across the board?" Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields? I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, "You're finished. The shoe's finished." When it was ready it was like the dream of putting together the fabric and having the energy that I knew of being a street kid, of being a boy out of Chicago, and enjoying every day and the way I can connect with this. It's like, you can't play the video game anymore. And that's what it's about. So many people in this room, they can't even go on vacation without being creative. They can't sit on the beach, they have to create constantly. And that's how I feel with this album coming out.
I feel convicted. I feel a level of honesty. I feel a level of truth. I feel like a 5-year old. I feel like I'm getting closer to the 5-year-old inside of me and I feel like I have to represent that 5-year-old, even, even at the risk of my public ... Maybe I can't find the words right now, but we know what it is. Some people hate me. But nonetheless, my biggest moments, my biggest Internet-crashing moments were the opinion of a 5-year-old. The opinion of a 5-year-old, the spirit of a 5-year-old with the responsibility of a 100-year old. Where the truth will set you free or the truth will close doors. What compromises do we have to make? How many compromises do we have to make every day in this field just to keep things going? Just to be able to sell a product?
And looking at my project now versus Graduation, and look at what's happening — what is the impact? What is the impact of last year? What did it have on me? Years from now, hundreds of years from now, what will be written in the history books? If you want to just understand how much I care, how selfless I am, how much I could give ... For this to be the fifteen-year anniversary and for me to stand up here and be the first male to be honored for an influencer award or to be even recognized, because I sit back and as I say, "Let's have a toast for the douchebags" ... Fashion breaks my heart.
You know, when they do a magazine of No. 1 New Yorkers or something like that and I'm blatantly left out, I feel like ... It hurts me. And I just appreciate the people in this room that are open-minded enough to remember when they were a 5-year-old. To remember when they could color outside the lines, to remember when they could give their opinion honestly without affecting their job, without it affecting their well-being. Or their kids having to go to the same school because they're convicted about what they really, really believe. I thought that's what true art was. I thought that's what a true artist was. And to be able to stand up here in front of you guys and be recognized after all of this means a lot to me, and it means a lot for me to say this right now. Convicted right now. Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It's rage, it's creativity, it's pain, it's hurt, but it's the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music. To let my pain hit the radio and thank you for this moment of acceptance.

i'll see your feeble bball storylines, and raise you one that can't possibly fail. a venture, a collaboration, a creative melding for the ages. a real instant classic.
and if it's from a euro site, you know it's legit. and if anyone could spit fire and lay down a hot track in the middle of the season, you know it's from arguably the most electrifying athlete in sports. yea, i said it.
now, just got to decide if i end with "boomshockalocka," "the nail in the coffin," or "he can't buy a bucket?"
and that song does rule. good find.
lobster hat, fishnet speedo, invisible dog leash. well, i'm packed.
this song rules
Also, does anyone else agree that the NBA may be the best professional sport right now? So many story-lines! The Bulls might be a contender! LeBron is a villain now!

Some good news from LA LA LAND...
The Hobbit is ON, Peter Jackson's in the director's seat, and Bilbo Baggins is being played by Martin Freeman, or as you may know him, Tim from the Office.
Jackson said about Freeman:
“Despite the various rumours and speculation surrounding this role, there has only ever been one Bilbo Baggins for us. There are a few times in your career when you come across an actor who you know was born to play a role, »
NICE
