Surprise!

The pilot says we're stopping in Chicago for the night. Are you around?

Let's watch the Hawks and drink beer! I'll tell you about the two separate times this month that people have talked to me about how LOTR Dance Party recently reminded them - and people we've never met - how much we controlled high school.

Whose coming with me?



April 7th - April 10th

I'm rounding up some friends (some old, some newish) to partake in a weekend of food and music filled debauchery. See me for details, but know my flight is booked. This is actually happening.

Pass the Damn Treaty

If there was any doubt, this picture should prove that it's probably best not to let these people have nuclear weapons.

@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{Delta}32/{Delta}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 CCR5{Delta}32/{Delta}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.

COOPA'S BACK!!!

Well it looks like my blogger account disappeared on me so I have been out of the loop for a few months now. Thanks to Mitch I'm back on so sorry for being so mia lately. I'll begin with nothing else than the best hockey goal ever...

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.

Besides being awesome, this video has a meaningful story behind it.

And here's a cool way to gush over Girl Talk's creativity.

"Jesus saves, but Gretzky scores on the rebound."

That one is from Kevin Griffith from Columbus, Ohio. People are writing in to this blog with the best graffiti they've seen.

My second favorite so far: "Hammertime" - on a stop sign
