This isn’t the first time that bone marrow transplants have been used to serve as a cure for AIDS. There are two other documented studies…both in the early 90’s. This case is the first to show results. Though it’s hard to say right now if science has stumbled upon a miracle, this could mean saving millions of lives around the world.

County Capt. Dennis Cross said. "If the weather forecast holds and we continue to get the great work being done in the last 24 hours, we're hoping midweek."The most extensive losses have been in the Oakridge Mobile Home Park in the Sylmar district of Los Angeles, where winds clocked as high as 70 mph drove a wall of flames across the hillsides and destroyed nearly 500 homes. Authorities combed through the scorched wreckage Sunday in an effort to account for the park's residents, only 134 of whom had been accounted for earlier in the day.No bodies were found during the search, and police believe most of those living in the 608 mobile homes fled the fire, Deputy Police Chief Michael Moore said.

Doctors have given a woman a new windpipe with tissue grown from her own stem cells, eliminating the need for anti-rejection drugs."This technique has great promise," said Dr. Eric Genden, who did a similar transplant in 2005 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. That operation used both donor and recipient tissue. Only a handful of windpipe, or trachea, transplants have ever been done.If successful, the procedure could become a new standard of treatment, said Genden, who was not involved in the research.The results were published online Wednesday in the medical journal, The Lancet.The transplant was given to Claudia Castillo, a 30-year-old Colombian mother of two living in Barcelona, who suffered from tuberculosis for years. After a severe collapse of her left lung in March, Castillo needed regular hospital visits to clear her airways and was unable to take care of her children.Doctors initially thought the only solution was to remove the entire left lung. But Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, head of thoracic surgery at Barcelona's Hospital Clinic, proposed a windpipe transplant instead.Once doctors had a donor windpipe, scientists at Italy's University of Padua stripped off all its cells, leaving only a tube of connective tissue.

Fourteen-year-old D’Zhana Simmons of South Carolina lives 4 months with no heart, leaves the hospital. Simmons says she felt like a "fake person" for 118 days when she had no heart beating in her chest. Since July, she's had two heart transplants and survived with artificial heart pumps — but no heart — for four months between the transplants. Last spring D'Zhana and her parents learned she had an enlarged heart that was too weak to sufficiently pump blood. They traveled from their home for a heart transplant. But her new heart didn't work properly and could have ruptured so surgeons removed it two days later. They did something unusual, especially for a young patient: They replaced the heart with a pair of artificial pumping devices that kept blood flowing through her body until she could have a second transplant. This “fake heart” was in D’Zhana for four months. She was able to receive a real heart on October 29th. Doctors say she’ll be able to do most of the things teenagers do.

It is also the scene of an internal political struggle between the Iraqi Islamic Party, one of Iraq's main Sunni parties, and the Awakening movement, the first anti-al Qaeda in Iraq movement established in the country.

In Berlin it seems that an American man has been cured of AIDS. He received a bone marrow transplant 20 months ago and now shows no signs of having the virus. Researches can’t determine why it is that his virus disappeared, therefore the can’t completely credit his transplant with his recovery. This isn’t the first time that bone marrow transplants have been used to serve as a cure for AIDS. There are two other documented studies…both in the early 90’s. This case is the first to show results. Though it’s hard to say right now if science has stumbled upon a miracle, this could mean saving millions of lives around the world.

Firefighters will need at least until midweek to get control of wildfires that have destroyed more than 900 homes and other structures in Southern California, a Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman says.High winds have fanned blazes from Santa Barbara to Anaheim since Thursday, scorching an estimated 35,000 acres of land. Sustained winds were expected to ease Monday, but locally gusty conditions and humidity in the single-digit range could continue into Tuesday, the National Weather Service predicted."If we were being very optimistic, we would be looking at the middle of the week," L.A. County Capt. Dennis Cross said. "If the weather forecast holds and we continue to get the great work being done in the last 24 hours, we're hoping midweek."The most extensive losses have been in the Oakridge Mobile Home Park in the Sylmar district of Los Angeles, where winds clocked as high as 70 mph drove a wall of flames across the hillsides and destroyed nearly 500 homes. Authorities combed through the scorched wreckage Sunday in an effort to account for the park's residents, only 134 of whom had been accounted for earlier in the day.No bodies were found during the search, and police believe most of those living in the 608 mobile homes fled the fire, Deputy Police Chief Michael Moore said. But he urged those who escaped to call in and let investigators know they survived.Crews were still struggling to contain the blazes Sunday afternoon.

Doctors have given a woman a new windpipe with tissue grown from her own stem cells, eliminating the need for anti-rejection drugs."This technique has great promise," said Dr. Eric Genden, who did a similar transplant in 2005 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. That operation used both donor and recipient tissue. Only a handful of windpipe, or trachea, transplants have ever been done.If successful, the procedure could become a new standard of treatment, said Genden, who was not involved in the research.The results were published online Wednesday in the medical journal, The Lancet.The transplant was given to Claudia Castillo, a 30-year-old Colombian mother of two living in Barcelona, who suffered from tuberculosis for years. After a severe collapse of her left lung in March, Castillo needed regular hospital visits to clear her airways and was unable to take care of her children.Doctors initially thought the only solution was to remove the entire left lung. But Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, head of thoracic surgery at Barcelona's Hospital Clinic, proposed a windpipe transplant instead.Once doctors had a donor windpipe, scientists at Italy's University of Padua stripped off all its cells, leaving only a tube of connective tissue.

Fourteen-year-old D’Zhana Simmons of South Carolina lives 4 months with no heart, leaves the hospital. Simmons says she felt like a "fake person" for 118 days when she had no heart beating in her chest. Since July, she's had two heart transplants and survived with artificial heart pumps — but no heart — for four months between the transplants. Last spring D'Zhana and her parents learned she had an enlarged heart that was too weak to sufficiently pump blood. They traveled from their home for a heart transplant. But her new heart didn't work properly and could have ruptured so surgeons removed it two days later. They did something unusual, especially for a young patient: They replaced the heart with a pair of artificial pumping devices that kept blood flowing through her body until she could have a second transplant. This “fake heart” was in D’Zhana for four months. She was able to receive a real heart on October 29th. Doctors say she’ll be able to do most of the things teenagers do.

Two suicide bombers on Thursday simultaneously struck the Iraqi city of Falluja, destroying a school and killing at least 15 people -- including some of the students -- an Interior Ministry official said.Bodies are still buried beneath the rubble of the school, the official said.The attackers rammed oil tankers into two Iraqi police posts, one located near the destroyed school.The twin strikes, which occurred shortly after noon, left at least 147 civilians and police wounded, he said.Falluja -- a Sunni town about 35 miles west of Baghdad in Anbar province -- had been a stronghold for insurgents in the early days of the Iraq war, but U.S. and Iraqi military operations have chased many al Qaeda in Iraq cells out of the province.The U.S.-led coalition formally handed over responsibility for Anbar's security to the Iraqi government in September, making it the only Sunni-dominated province to have been transferred to Iraqi control.Once dominated by Sunni insurgents, Anbar is now a bastion of tribal opposition to the insurgents. It is also the scene of an internal political struggle between the Iraqi Islamic Party, one of Iraq's main Sunni parties, and the Awakening movement, the first anti-al Qaeda in Iraq movement established in the country.
