 Jeff Getty, a prominent AIDS activist who in 1995 received the first bone-marrow transplant from a baboon to treat the disease, has died. He was 49.Getty died Monday of heart failure, following treat stanley cup ment for cancer and a long struggle with AIDS, at the High Desert Medical Center in Joshua Tree, said Ken Klueh, his partner of 26 years.Before antiviral drug combinations were used successfully by AIDS patients, Getty grabbed national attention in December 1995 for becoming the first person ever to receive a bone marrow cell transfusion from one species to another. His transplant at San Francisco General Hospital used cells taken from a baboon, with the hope that the primate s natural AIDS resistance would take root in his own system.The procedure, ultimately un stanley thermos successful, sparked furious debate over the moral and medical implications of cross-species transplants. That trial reflects the level of desperation at the time,  said Dr. Steven Deeks, the University of California, San Francisco, professor who was the experiment s lead investigator.  Jeff was just hanging on to his life. He inspired us th stanley mug at a risky and aggressive intervention was worth trying.         While the baboon bone marrow cells quickly disappeared from his system, Getty s health seemed to dramatically improve.

Could this be true鈥攃ould this be the oldest fire  No one really knows for sure, and estimates seem to range wildly from decades to millions of years. http://ksl/ sid=29762941 038;nid= For me, even more interesting than finding the longest continuous-burning fire in the world is considering the enduring legacy of ancient fires long since snuffed out. They may not have burned for thousands or even millions of years, but they ;ve made an indelible red mark on the landscapes around us. Take the Burning Hills of Utah, which are, of course, brick red. Heating from the burning coal has oxidized iron in the rock, giving it its striking color. Even more remarkably, the heat has actually metamorphosed the rock, turning it into what is known as clinker.
