NYTimes: Enigmatic Leader of Iran Backs Overture, for Now

The Ayatollah is a conductor of the Iranian "orchestra."
His ear is the sense of his people recently polled.
He is trimming the sails on the Iranian sailship.
He is adjusting the seasonings on the Iranian soup.

His ministers are his seasonings, instruments, sails and pulleys.

Enigmatic Leader of Iran Backs Overture, for Now

Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, is getting all the attention, but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader, remains the man behind the curtain.

Re: The Promised Restaurant, DVOR

The other day, this past week,  in the midst of alot of craziness, I thought about that restaurant and our time spent there. It was a great mental escape - I'm sure I will "go there" again. --- On Thu, 7/4/13, bigstu52@gmail.com <bigstu52@gmail.com> wrote: From: bigstu52@gmail.com <bigstu52@gmail.com> Subject: The Promised Restaurant, DVOR To: bigstu52.sierra@blogger.com, "Jeffrey Kushner" <jeff@kushnerandkushner.com>, "Roberta Kushner" <roberta@kushnerandkushner.com>, "Sandy Levy" <sandylevy5@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, July 4, 2013, 7:45 AM Just in case you want to get on four planes for dinner at Dvor, a lovely spot at 14 Firula, Split, Croatia.  I would recommend taking a cab both ways, however.  I am so grateful that you guys allowed us to stumble along until we finally found this little piece of paradise.  I still hear the surf and the children playing and us laughing.  The sea bass we had is motivating me to explore different ways to prepare fish.

The Promised Restaurant, DVOR

Just in case you want to get on four planes for dinner at Dvor, a lovely spot at 14 Firula, Split, Croatia. I would recommend taking a cab both ways, however. I am so grateful that you guys allowed us to stumble along until we finally found this little piece of paradise. I still hear the surf
and the children playing and us laughing. The sea bass we had is motivating me to explore different ways to prepare fish.

NYTimes: Post-Transplant and Off Drugs, H.I.V. Patients Are Apparently Virus-Free

From The New York Times:

Mutation of protein on the surface of CD4 Lymphocytes makes them imperious to the aids virus. The HIV binds to a surface protein (or door) and then enters the cell. The surface protein is called the CCR5 receptor.

Post-Transplant and Off Drugs, H.I.V. Patients Are Apparently Virus-Free

Two H.I.V.-infected patients who had bone-marrow transplants for blood cancers have apparently been virus-free since they stopped taking antiretroviral drugs.
