Since HIV was discovered 30 years ago this week, 30 million people have died from the disease, and it continues to spread at the rate of 7,000 people per day globally, the UN says.
There's not much good news when it comes to this devastating virus. But that is perhaps why the story of the man scientists call the "Berlin patient" is so remarkable and has generated so much excitement among the HIV advocacy community.
Timothy Ray Brown suffered from both leukemia and HIV when he received a bone marrow stem cell transplant in Berlin, Germany in 2007. The transplant came from a man who was immune to HIV, which scientists say about 1 percent of Caucasians are. (According to San Francisco's CBS affiliate, the trait may be passed down from ancestors who became immune to the plague centuries ago. This Wired story says it was more likely passed down from people who became immune to a smallpox-like disease.)

EFCC Arrest For Speaker Dimeji Bankole
Huhuonline can disclose that the embattled former speaker of the House of Representatives, Oladimeji Bankole, has been arrested by EFCC. Rt. Hon. Bankole,who is set to formally hand over tomorrow to the seventh session of the House of Representatives, had said he will meet with the antigraft agency, on Monday at 2pm, after refusing to honour two previous invitations.
Confirming his arrest, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC explained that its operatives arrested the former Speaker of the House of Representatives ahead of the Monday date he gave to surrender himself because he was discovered to be plotting other schemes to thwart his voluntary surrender or arrest on Monday.

N10bn Saga: How Dimeji Bankole and Others Shared the Money
Fresh facts which emerged at the weekend concerning the N10billion loan scandal in the House of Reresentatives that just ended its tenure suggest that the sourcing which resulted in the present situation was the product of an executive session where
members insisted on enhancing their allowances.And whereas former Speaker Dimeji Bankole is the one facing the fire, Sunday Vanguard is now in possession of documents which show that the genesis of the hoopla was an executive session of the House of Representatives on Thursday March 25, 2010, where Hon. Aminu Tambuwal briefed the House regarding the “restiveness of members and the possible crisis that may erupt in the House because of the issue of enhanced allowances that members have been clamoring for”.

Revealed:Ndi Okereke- Onyiuke Faked Doctorate Degree
The former head of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Ndi Okereke–Onyiuke, does not officially hold the title Doctor. Huhuonline has obtained credible fresh evidence showing that the credentials she presented to the NSE, and on which basis she was recruited into the NSE were forged and contained a number of false and misleading claims, which one senior US official qualified as “grievous and embarrassing” to warrant criminal prosecution.
Ms. Ndi Okereke–Onyiuke was recruited at the NSE in 1983 on the basis of her curriculum vitae which claimed that she had obtained a Ph.D in Business from The Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York in the United States of America.

Harold Camping says world will actually end in October
OAKLAND, Calif. – A California preacher who foretold of the world's end only to see the appointed day pass with no extraordinarily cataclysmic event has revised his apocalyptic prophecy, saying he was off by five months and the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.
Harold Camping, who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven Saturday before catastrophe struck the planet, apologized Monday evening for not having the dates "worked out as accurately as I could have."
He spoke to the media at the Oakland headquarters of his Family Radio International, which spent millions of dollars_ some of it from donations made by followers — on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judgment Day message.

Video Inside:Doomsday prophet, followers ‘Surprised’ world didn’t end
It's hard to feel bad for someone whose doomsday predictions caused so much anxiety, but 89-year-old Harold Camping's recent admission that he's "flabbergasted" the world didn't end last weekend sounds somewhat pitiful.
"It has been a really tough weekend," Camping said Sunday, after emerging from his Alameda, California home for the first time to talk to a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm looking for answers ... But now I have nothing else to say," he said, adding that he would make a full statement today.

The World Is Coming To An End On May 21, 2011
The End off the World prediction for May 21st is spreading all over the internet, but it is not what you think it is. The May 21st End of the World prediction only applies to those who will be saved on Judgment Day 2011 in the Rapture. Those who aren’t saved in the May 21 Rapture will suffer a different fate, and an End of the World date 5 months after May 21st.
May 21st Judgement Day is going to be the decisive day when Jesus returns for the Rapture. True believers will be brought to Heaven, and that will be the End of The World for the approximately 3,000,000 people will be saved, according to Harold Camping.
The remaining people on earth that are not saved by Jesus in the May 21 Rapture will be sentenced to 5 months of torment under the rule of Jesus during the End of Days. The End Times will cause anarchy, chaos, disasters, and the end of civilization as we know it. Everyone left on earth will be well aware that Jesus is Lord, but savior will not be an option after May 21 Doomsday.
