Gov. Chris Christie's blunt talk has long been one of his hallmarks.
But Christie, who has verbally tangled with many, showed Wednesday he's willing to aim his barbs at the highest echelons of his own party.
In a State House news conference, Christie blasted Republican U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio for delaying a vote on a $60 billion aid package for Superstorm Sandy recovery.
"Do your job and come through for the people of this country," Christie pointedly said about Boehner.
Harsh criticism of Boehner by elected officials in New York and New Jersey turned into a bipartisan affair Wednesday. But it was Christie's remarks that drew the most attention, both for what he said and his willingness, as a Republican with higher aspirations, to so forcefully take on Boehner and Congressional Republicans.
The bill "could not overcome the toxic internal politics of the House majority," Christie said.
Under pressure, Boehner will schedule a vote Friday to fund $9 billion for the national flood insurance program. A vote on the remaining $51 billion will take place Jan. 15.
Even before word of the rescheduled votes came out, Christie said he could no longer trust such assurances.
"There is no reason for me at the moment to believe anything they tell me because they've been telling me stuff for weeks and they haven't delivered," Christie said.
Christie accused House Republicans of focusing on internal politics and "palace intrigue" instead of voting on the bill, which would financially assist states hit by the Oct. 29 storm. Sandy severely impacted New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
"There's only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims, the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner," Christie said.
A former prosecutor who flirted with running for president, Christie significantly raised his national profile this year, positioning himself as a tough-talking, no-nonsense chief executive. He delivered the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in Tampa and hopscotched around the country to campaign for Mitt Romney and Republican Congressional candidates.
But there has been little love lost of late between Christie and some members of his party. Before blasting Boehner, Christie drew the ire of some Republicans after touring the storm-damaged Jersey shore with President Barack Obama.
The two men embraced on the tarmac in Atlantic City days before the election and Christie effusively praised the president's handling of the storm. Christie said his loyalty to the people of New Jersey trumped politics.
Christie is seeking re-election, saying he wants to see through the Sandy recovery, something that a failure to vote on the bill is tying up, he said, keeping people from rebuilding homes and businesses.
In a Republican Party trying to figure out what it stands for, Christie could be positioning himself as both a potential conservative candidate who is not beholden to Tea Party notions and a pragmatist who is willing to work across party lines to get the job done.
Should he plan to run for president in 2016, Christie's stance could gain traction with an electorate that generally disdains Washington — a stance that Christie drove home Wednesday.
"It's why the American people hate Congress," Christie said of the failure to vote on the Sandy bill.
Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, said Christie's attack is emblematic of a division emerging in the Republican party between conservative members calling for spending cuts wherever possible and others who think allocating money is necessary in certain cases.
"This is an example of another moment of him separating himself from a section of the GOP that is not very well-liked right now," Zelizer said of Christie. "I don't think it's politics. I think it's general frustration."
Leo Quigley, whose house in New Jersey's Little Ferry was damaged in the storm, said he's glad that Christie so forcefully criticized Boehner.
"I think he's right," Quigley said. "Some people are living in bad circumstances right now because of this, and that's to be blamed on the Congress."
Gigi Liaguno-Dorr, whose bar, Jakeabob's Bay, in Union Beach, was destroyed, said she and others in her blue-collar New Jersey town feel as though they've been ignored. She thinks Congress dragged its feet on the bill, but wants to know where the money will be allocated if the bill is approved.
"If Christie was out there blasting them, God bless him. Good for him," Liaguno-Dorr said. But once they release it, where is it going to go?
Liaguno-Door criticized Christie for not visiting her town, though he did mention it Wednesday as a place where a delay in aid would have detrimental effects.

In life, Andrew Breitbart was the conservative blogger and provocateur whose sometimes controversial efforts against his ideological adversaries, both real and imagined, made him one of the most polarizing figures on the contemporary political scene.
In death, however, it was clear Breitbart had earned the respect not just of conservatives but of some progressives, too. The latter may have disagreed with his political views and tactics, but they admired his energy and the entrepreneurial verve with which he waged his campaign.
That doesn't mean that some on the other end of the political spectrum from Breitbart didn't find it difficult to express charity after hearing of the tragedy of a suddenly dead father leaving behind a wife and four young children. Breitbart's grenade-throwing style of political combat made it hard for some to forgive. That chilly sentiment wasn't uniform, however.
Breitbart, who had turned only 43 a month ago, may have seemed like a creature of the Internet age. But he was only the latest in a long line of American polemicists extending back to the nation's early history.
In his way, Breitbart was a hyperactive Web reinterpretation of the pre-Revolutionary pamphleteer Thomas Paine. Or of Philip Freneau, who, as a Philadelphia journalist during the early American republic, was an anti-Federalist propagandist for then-Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.
Breitbart's influence on the great debates of his day obviously wasn't close to being in the same league as Paine's was in his. But his impact was undeniable and will be remembered for some time.
At the top of his greatest hits, so to speak, would be his contribution to the takedown of ACORN, the now defunct network of groups that advocated for low-income Americans, whose demise Breitbart hastened.
It was Breitbart who posted on his website James O'Keefe's hidden-camera video of workers for ACORN appearing to allegedly abet a faux pimp and prostitute.
Also near the top of the list would be Breitbart's role in the Anthony Weiner affair. The blogger's possession of suggestive photos that the married then-congressman sent to women via Twitter eventually forced Weiner to resign from Congress.
But Breitbart will also be remembered for an ends-justify-the-means approach that sometimes misfired.
Never did that seem truer than in the Shirley Sherrod case, in which Breitbart edited a video of the then-Obama administration Agriculture Department official to make it appear she had told an audience of fellow African-Americans that she once discriminated against a white farmer seeking federal help and was proud of it.
When the full version of the video emerged after Sherrod was forced out of her job, however, it showed that she had actually told the audience she had helped the white farmer despite conflicted feelings from all the discrimination she and other Southern blacks had experienced.
The moral of her story was that discrimination was wrong — exactly the opposite of what Breitbart's edited version of Sherrod conveyed. Sherrod sued Breitbart, who never apologized for the incident.
Sherrod, on Thursday, issued a succinct statement that belied all the emotions stirred up by her virtual encounter with Breitbart. The statement, as it appeared on CNN, said:
"The news of Mr. Breitbart's death came as a surprise to me when I was informed of it this morning. My prayers go out to Mr. Breitbart's family as they cope during this very difficult time."
Breitbart got his start in the world of of partisan propaganda/journalism with Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report, then worked with Arianna Huffington; he first met her when she a conservative. After her political transformation to a progressive, he helped her start the Huffington Post.
In an emailed response to a request from NPR for reaction, Arianna Huffington wrote:
"... I was asked many times this morning for my thoughts on what Andrew meant to the political world, but all I can think of at the moment is what Andrew meant to me as a friend, starting from when we worked together — his passion, his exuberance, his fearlessness. And above all, what I'm thinking of at the moment is his amazing wife Susie and their four beautiful young children. My love and thoughts are with them right now."
While he was a fierce, no-holds-barred partisan for his side, that didn't stop liberals from paying their respects Thursday. It was noted that even though he was a conservative, he publicly supported gay rights. Lisa Derrick, who knew Breitbart and whose LA FIGA blog is part of the FireDogLake community of blogs, wrote:
"Andrew was an instigator, a rabblerouser and while our politics so did not line up, he became an unlikely ally of the LGBT community last year when [he] told a CPAC audience"" 'If being conservative means rejecting gay conservatives because they are gay, then fine, I'm not a conservative.'"He later resigned from the board of GOProud over allegations that the group's leaders, Christopher Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia, had outed an official working with Rick Perry's presidential campaign."I disagreed with a lot of what he did, but I appreciated that he existed, if only to be a huge counter balance ..."
But while some on the left, like Derrick, noted the loss of someone they saw as a worthy opponent, conservatives mourned the loss of a blogger-activist whom many on the right viewed as a brash champion for their causes.
Erick Erickson wrote on RedState.org:
"What I admired most about Andrew was his willingness to be the lightning rod despite criticism from both the left and the right. He was the lightening rod and when lightening struck, Andrew used the brilliant flash of light to direct everyone's attention to precisely what he wanted them to see. He was a master at it. The attention he garnered was never about getting attention for himself, but using the attention to tell the story and share the news he wanted told and shared."
The Republican presidential candidates weighed in as well. Mitt Romney tweeted:
"Ann and I are deeply saddened by the passing of @AndrewBreitbart: brilliant entrepreneur, fearless conservative, loving husband and father"
Rick Santorum told reporters:
"He will be, what a huge loss ... for our country and certainly for the conservative movement and my prayers go out to his family. I'm really sorry to hear it."
Breitbart was an early presence at Tea Party rallies nationwide, and there was a profound sense of loss in that movement.
NPR's Neda Ulaby interviewed Jenny Martin for Thursday's All Things Considered. Asked for the reaction of Tea Party activists to the news of Breitbart's death, Martin said:
MARTIN: "They feel like lost a true patriot and they lost a fighter who was willing to fight fearlessly for our core values of our country. ... He set the tone for a lot of the political discussions that happen today. He created news. He broke news. His voice will be missed."

Delays dog holiday shipping
NEW YORK - Santa's sleigh didn't make it in time for Christmas for some this year due to shipping problems at UPS and FedEx.
NEW YORK - Santa's sleigh didn't make it in time for Christmas for some this year due to shipping problems at UPS and FedEx.
The delays were blamed on poor weather earlier this week in parts of the country as well as overloaded systems. The holiday-shopping period this year was shorter than usual, more buying was done online and Americans' tendency to wait until the last possible second to shop probably didn't help either.
Neither company said how many packages were delayed, but noted it was a small share of overall holiday shipments. While the bulk of consumers' holiday spending remains at physical stores, shopping online is increasingly popular and outstripping spending growth in stores at the mall.
The problems appear to have affected many parts of the country. The Associated Press spoke with people in Alabama, California, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia who didn't receive presents in time for Christmas.
Many were left with little or no time to make alternative plans.
Jeff Cormier and his Dallas family were among those who ordered gifts that didn't arrive.
He had three separate UPS packages - including two with expedited shipping - delayed.
"I've had to apologize to three different people when I thought I had everything wrapped up and good to go way before," Cormier said.
He and his wife are celebrating their baby daughter's first Christmas and flew in his grandmother from Ohio to join them. Her gift, a customized iPhone cover with a photo of her new great-granddaughter, didn't come in time.
"My wife and I had our presents to open. Our daughter had her presents to open. And my grandma, she didn't have anything to open," Cormier said.
"We apologize that our customers did not receive their packages on Christmas," said Natalie Godwin, a spokeswoman for UPS.
Godwin said snow and ice in the Midwest last week and an ice storm that hit Dallas 2 1/2 weeks ago were partially to blame. She also said the volume of packages shipped exceeded the capacity of UPS, but would not share the number of packages shipped or what the company's maximum capacity is.
UPS did not make pickups or deliveries yesterday. Extra workers were being brought in last night to the company's hub in Louisville, Ky., to sort packages for delivery today and tomorrow, according to Godwin.
Godwin said "UPS will honor its peak shipments commitments" to customers who used its air delivery service. Those shipping by ground have no guarantee past Dec. 11. Godwin said she didn't know if customers would receive refunds.
However, some FedEx customers were able to pick up packages Christmas Day at local FedEx centers.
"We're sorry that there could be delays, and we're contacting affected customers who have shipments available for pickup," said Scott Fiedler, a spokesman for FedEx Corp.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, FedEx handled 275 million shipments, according to Fiedler. Those that were not delivered in time, he said, "would be very few."
Three people told the Associated Press that when they tracked their packages online, FedEx said deliveries to their homes were attempted but failed because "the business was closed." During follow-up calls with customer service, they said they learned that the local depot was overwhelmed and didn't attempt delivery.
On Sunday, Eric Swanson ordered a doll for his daughter and a sweater for his wife through Amazon.com and an affiliated site. As an Amazon Prime customer, there was a promise of two-day delivery, getting the gifts to his Carmichael, Calif., home just in time for Christmas. One was shipped via UPS, the other FedEx.
"I thought it would happen," Swanson said. Online tracking tools said the packages would arrive by 8 p.m. Tuesday. Neither did.
Amazon.com has been notifying some customers affected by the UPS delays that it will refund any shipping charges and is giving them a $20 credit toward a future purchase.
Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako said the company processed orders and got them to its shippers "on time for holiday delivery" and is now "reviewing the performance of the delivery carriers."
While some customers may get money back, they might think twice about ordering online next year.
"My wife understands but my 5-year-old daughter . . . I think we're going to let it be a surprise when it comes," Swanson said. "Next time, if I need to get a gift and cut it that close, I will just have to enter the fray and go to the mall."

Congress returns from a two-week recess amid reports that a gun deal in the Senate may have gained late momentum; a focus on immigration to include a rally on Capitol Hill; and a budget proposal from President Obama that already has some in his own party fuming.
Here's what's happening on key issues this week:
Obama travels to Connecticut on Monday to keep the focus on gun control in the state where, nearly four months ago, 20 young children and six educators were massacred. Last week, the Connecticut Legislature passed tough new state gun restrictions, a measure signed into law by Democratic Gov. Dan Malloy.
While some states have taken action to toughen and, in some instances, loosen gun restrictions since the Dec. 14 shooting in Newtown, Conn., Congress remains slowed by its own processes and the competing political pressure of interest groups.
The Washington Post and The New York Times reported Monday that despite opposition from the NRA, "fresh Republican support" could allow a bipartisan agreement on a measure to expand federal background checks for gun buyers. The idea has overwhelming public support in polling, and would close a loophole in current law that requires no such check for sales at gun shows.
The idea was considered an important but relatively middle-of-the-road proposal among post-Newtown calls for a new ban on assault weapons and a bullet limit in ammunition clips. But over time, support in Congress failed to materialize sufficiently to assure much of anything would become law. Now, background checks might form the framework of any deal on Capitol Hill. The Post reports:
"In a move that could draw other Republicans as well as Democrats from conservative states who have not yet backed Obama's agenda, Sen. Joe Manchin III (W.Va.), a key Democratic broker, has spent the past few days crafting the framework of a possible deal with Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.).
"Manchin and Toomey are developing a measure to require background checks for all gun purchases except sales between close family members and some hunters, which addresses concerns of some conservatives."
The Post reports that if the deal comes together, it would be worked into a bill that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., hopes to bring to the Senate floor as early as this week.
Still, at least a dozen Senate Republicans have threatened to filibuster any new gun control measure.
Both the Senate and House are expected to continue work on immigration bills this week. Most of the focus has been on the Senate, where a bipartisan "Gang of Eight" could be close to presenting its plan for a deal that would include a path to citizenship for some 11 million immigrants now in the country illegally. During the congressional recess, organized labor and business groups indicated they are willing to reach agreement on a "guest-worker program" for immigrants, a key concession.
And organizers say they expect thousands to rally near the Capitol on Wednesday calling for comprehensive changes to the nation's immigration laws.
On Wednesday, Obama will send Congress his proposal for the federal budget for fiscal year 2014. His proposal comes after passage of a Democratic version in the Senate and a Republican version in the House. None of the three options will become law, but instead represent negotiating positions of their authors.
For Obama, the most significant aspect of his plan is probably the one revealed last week, a unilateral offer from Obama to consider reductions in Social Security and Medicare benefits in exchange for new taxes as part of a long-term budget deal. Opposition ranged from the AFL-CIO — which called the alternate measure of inflation Obama is proposing to determine Social Security benefits "fraudulent" — to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who rejected the idea of new tax increases.

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
This document describes the use of Apache's Handlers.
Related Modules | Related Directives |
A "handler" is an internal Apache representation of the action to be performed when a file is called. Generally, files have implicit handlers, based on the file type. Normally, all files are simply served by the server, but certain file types are "handled" separately.
Handlers may also be configured explicitly, based on either filename extensions or on location, without relation to file type. This is advantageous both because it is a more elegant solution, and because it also allows for both a type and a handler to be associated with a file. (See also Files with Multiple Extensions.)
Handlers can either be built into the server or included in
a module, or they can be added with the Action
directive. The
built-in handlers in the standard distribution are as
, which is the handler used by
default to handle static content. (core)mod_asis
)The following directives will cause requests for files with
the html
extension to trigger the launch of the
CGI script.
Action add-footer /cgi-bin/footer.pl AddHandler add-footer .html
Then the CGI script is responsible for sending the
originally requested document (pointed to by the
environment variable) and making
whatever modifications or additions are desired.
The following directives will enable the
handler, which is used for files which
contain their own HTTP headers. All files in the
directory will be processed by
the send-as-is
handler, regardless of their
filename extensions.
<Directory "/web/htdocs/asis"> SetHandler send-as-is </Directory>
In order to implement the handler features, an addition has
been made to the Apache API that
you may wish to make use of. Specifically, a new record has
been added to the request_rec
char *handler
If you wish to have your module engage a handler, you need
only to set r->handler
to the name of the
handler at any time prior to the invoke_handler
stage of the request. Handlers are implemented as they were
before, albeit using the handler name instead of a content
type. While it is not necessary, the naming convention for
handlers is to use a dash-separated word, with no slashes, so
as to not invade the media type name-space.

Meletius IV (Metaxakis) of Constantinople
His All-Holiness Patriarch Meletius IV (Greek: Μελέτιος Δ'), born Emmanuel Metaxakis (Greek: Εμμανουήλ Μεταξάκης), was the 261st successor to the Apostle Andrew and Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1921 to 1923. Afterward, as Meletius II, he also served as Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and all Africa from 1926 to 1935. Before he became Ecumenical Patriarch, he was Archbishop of Athens from 1918 to 1920 as Meletius III.
Early life
He was born on September 21, 1871, in the village of Parsas on the island of Crete. He entered the Seminary of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem in 1889. He was tonsured with the name Meletius and ordained a hierodeacon in 1892. He completed the theological courses at Holy Cross and was assigned as secretary to the Holy Synod in Jerusalem by Patriarch Damianus in 1900.
Meletius was evicted from the Holy Land by Patriarch Damianus, along with the then-administrator Chrysostomos, later Archbishop of Athens, in 1908 for "activity against the Holy Sepulchre." Meletius Metaxakis was then elected Metropolitan of Kition in Cyprus in 1910. In the years before the war, Metr. Meletius began successful talks in New York with representatives of the Episcopal Church of America, with the intention of "expanding relations between the two Churches."
After the death of Patriarch Joachim III on June 13, 1912, Meletius was nominated as a candidate for the Patriarchal Throne in Constantinople. However, the Holy Synod decided that Meletius could not canonically be registered as a candidate. Instead, he would continue in his metropolis until 1918 when, with the support of his political allies, he was elevated to the position of Archbishop of Athens in 1918. This would be a temporary measure, for after a series of political changes in Greece, he was later deprived of his see.
Archbishop of Athens
A staunch supporter of Greek Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos, his fortunes were linked with those of the Venizelists. The expulsion of King Constantine in 1917 allowed Meletius' installation as Archbishop of Athens, but the 1920 electoral defeat of Venizelos allowed the king's return and Meletius' deposition. His replacement as Archbishop was the Royalist Archbishop Theocletos, the man whom he had displaced two years previously.
During his tenure as Archbishop, he tried to apply order to the patchwork of independent "trustee" Greek parishes in America by applying a 1908 Patriarchal decree that gave episcopal oversight of the Americas to the Church of Greece, and even visited America in the summer of 1918 to survey the situation. Upon his return to Greece three months later, he appointed Bishop Alexander of Rodostolou as his resident American legate. Alexander was delegated the unenviable task of initiating canonical order among the independent Greek parishes throughout North America.
While Archbishop he also journeyed to England where he conducted talks concerning the union between the Anglicans and the Orthodox Church.
Following his deposition, Meletius, like so many other political refugees, fled to the United States in February 1921. Still recognized as the legitimate head of the Church of Greece by his American legate, Bishop Alexander, Meletius presided over the organization of some Greek parishes in North America into a formal "Greek Archdiocese" on September 15, 1921. In effect, this was the first step towards the establishment of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America, which was incorporated in 1921, and officially recognized by the State of New York in 1922.
In another twist of fate, the exiled Meletius was elected Ecumenical Patriarch two months later on November 27, 1921. He was not about to give up his American creation, however, and in one of his first acts as patriarch, he repealed the 1908 Tomos on March 1, 1922. This effectively transferred jurisdiction of the new Greek Archdiocese from himself, as Archbishop of Athens, to himself, as Ecumenical Patriarch. His justification for this move was a reference to Canon 28 of the 451 Council of Chalcedon, which he claimed granted the Ecumenical Patriarchate jurisdiction over Orthodox Christians in all "barbarian lands." This was formalized on May 11, 1922, when Meletios declared the Church of America as an Archdiocese and appointing the Rt. Rev. Alexander Titular Bishop of Rodostolon, as his Patriarchal Exarch.
Unfortunately, the hopes of the immigrant Greek community that their long canonical disorder in America would be settled was not realized. The royalists in Greece rejected both the creation and subsequent separation of a "Venizelist" Archdiocese in America. Metropolitan Germanos (Troianos), a royalist partisan, was sent from Greece to challenge Alexander for control of the new archdiocese. Spurred on by the two New York Greek language dailies, the Royalist Atlantis, and the Venizelist National Herald, the fledgling Greek Archdiocese rapidly disintegrated into violently opposed factions. It would remain bitterly divided for almost a decade (1922-1931) until the moderating influence of the future Patriarch Athenagoras.
Ecumenism and Anglican outreach
His entreaties to the Anglican Church courted controversy within Orthodoxy. On December 17, 1921, the Greek Ambassador in Washington sent a message to the prefect at Thessaloniki stating that Meletius "vested, took part in an Anglican service, knelt in prayer with Anglicans, venerated their Holy Table, gave a sermon, and later blessed those present."
Under pressure from Meletius, the Patriarchate of Constantinople accepted the validity of Anglican orders in 1922—an act against which even Rome protested. Then, in 1923, Meletius initiated the "Pan-Orthodox" Congress (May 10–June 8). On June 1, clergy and laymen who were dissatisfied with the innovating Patriarch held a meeting which ended in an attack on the Phanar with the goal of deposing Meletius and expelling him from Constantinople.
On July 1, 1923, on the pretext of illness and the need for medical treatment, Meletius left Constantinople. On September 20, 1923, under pressure from the Greek government and through the intervention of Chrysostomos I (Papadopoulos) of Athens, Meletius retired as patriarch. This coincided with the failure of the Greek expedition in Asia Minor, and may have also played a role.
Later life
After his retirement from the Constantinople Patriarchate, he was elected Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa and was enthroned as Meletius II of Alexandria on May 20, 1926. He served until his death on July 28, 1935, and was buried in Cairo, Egypt.
According to a listing of famous Greek Freemasons on the official website of the Grand Lodge of Greece1 (Megali Stoas Tis Ellados), Meletius Metaxakis is listed as a Freemason in the Lodge: "ΑΡΜΟΝΙΑ" (HARMONY):
- "Μελέτιος Β' (Εμμ. Μεταξάκης) - Αλεξανδρείας και Οικουμενικός Πατριάρχης - ΑΡΜΟΝΙΑ"
- (transl. Meletios II (E. Metaxakis) - Alexandria and Ecumenical Patriarch - HARMONY)
Metaxakis was one of the most fascinating characters in Orthodox church history. He was the only man successively to lead three autocephalous (independent) Orthodox Churches: those of Greece, Constantinople, and Alexandria; and to rule a diocese in another, that of Cyprus.

March 07, 2013
By LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press
A baby born with the virus that causes AIDS appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday March 3, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who's now 2½ and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection.
There's no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus' genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world's second reported cure.
Specialists say Sunday's announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus.
"You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we've seen," Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn't diagnosed until she was in labor.
"I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and deserved our best shot," Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby's blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children's Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child "functionally cured," meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven't been completely eradicated.
Next, Persaud's team is planning a study to try to prove that, with more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. "Maybe we'll be able to block this reservoir seeding," Persaud said.
No one should stop anti-AIDS drugs as a result of this case, Fauci cautioned.
But "it opens up a lot of doors" to research if other children can be helped, he said. "It makes perfect sense what happened."
Better than treatment is to prevent babies from being born with HIV in the first place.
About 300,000 children were born with HIV in 2011, mostly in poor countries where only about 60 percent of infected pregnant women get treatment that can keep them from passing the virus to their babies. In the U.S., such births are very rare because HIV testing and treatment long have been part of prenatal care.
"We can't promise to cure babies who are infected. We can promise to prevent the vast majority of transmissions if the moms are tested during every pregnancy," Gay stressed.
The only other person considered cured of the AIDS virus underwent a very different and risky kind of treatment — a bone marrow transplant from a special donor, one of the rare people who is naturally resistant to HIV. Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco has not needed HIV medications in the five years since that transplant.
The Mississippi case shows "there may be different cures for different populations of HIV-infected people," said Dr. Rowena Johnston of amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. That group funded Persaud's team to explore possible cases of pediatric cures.
It also suggests that scientists should look back at other children who've been treated since shortly after birth, including some reports of possible cures in the late 1990s that were dismissed at the time, said Dr. Steven Deeks of the University of California, San Francisco, who also has seen the findings.
"This will likely inspire the field, make people more optimistic that this is possible," he said.
In the Mississippi case, the mother had had no prenatal care when she came to a rural emergency room in advanced labor. A rapid test detected HIV. In such cases, doctors typically give the newborn low-dose medication in hopes of preventing HIV from taking root. But the small hospital didn't have the proper liquid kind, and sent the infant to Gay's medical center. She gave the baby higher treatment-level doses.
The child responded well through age 18 months, when the family temporarily quit returning and stopped treatment, researchers said. When they returned several months later, remarkably, Gay's standard tests detected no virus in the child's blood.
Ten months after treatment stopped, a battery of super-sensitive tests at half a dozen laboratories found no sign of the virus' return. There were only some remnants of genetic material that don't appear able to replicate, Persaud said.
In Mississippi, Gay gives the child a check-up every few months: "I just check for the virus and keep praying that it stays gone."
The mother's HIV is being controlled with medication and she is "quite excited for her child," Gay added.
The United Nations agency that guides the global fight against HIV/AIDS, known as UNAIDS, hailed the news.
"This news gives us great hope that a cure for HIV in children is possible and could bring us one step closer to an AIDS-free generation," said UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibe. "This also underscores the need for research and innovation especially in the area of early diagnostics."
Associated Press writer Ron DePasquale contributed from the United Nations in New York.

More than 40,000 scientists in Spain have signed a petition calling on the government to end cuts to their budget. They're blaming austerity for an exodus of the country's best and brightest researchers.
Lauren Frayer has more from Madrid.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: (Spanish spoken)
LAUREN FRAYER, BYLINE: Hundreds of lab-coated scientists delivered their petition to Spain's Economy Ministry. They marched there last week because the Science Ministry, itself, was closed in budget cuts.
Spanish universities are now allowed to fill only one in 10 jobs that open up. And researchers are still waiting for grant money due last January.
ANXO SANCHEZ: You don't have the money, you can't start the project. And this I am seeing all around me.
FRAYER: Anxo Sanchez is a math professor, who's seen his department gutted. And he worries if there will even be a next generation of Spanish scientists.
SANCHEZ: I feel that my research is going to suffer soon - both my research and my family. So far, I believe my kids are receiving a good education. But as more and more good university professors are leaving, this may not be the case anymore.
FRAYER: Research has been cut 40 percent in the past three years. Ruling conservatives are offering tax breaks to private sector labs instead. Marta Elvira is a management professor.
MARTA ELVIRA: There have been opportunities for partnerships. But obviously, that doesn't make up for the unavailability(ph) of public funds.
FRAYER: Elvira returned to Spain five years ago from California. Had she waited any longer, she says she probably wouldn't have found a job here.

Marimekko Unikko Jacquard Throw Blanket
Collection: Pre-Fall 2024 Home.
Print: Maija Isola 1964.
Material: 100% Cotton.
Description: The Unikko pattern blanket is made of organic cotton with a jacquard knit. The blanket has short fringes on all sides. The pattern's colors are reversed on the other side of the blanket. Products woven with the jacquard technique may vary slightly in size. Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.
Dimensions: 59" x 86"
Care: Machine washable, warm water, do not tumble-dry. Shrinkage max. 6%. Reshape to dry.
About: Marimekko is a Finnish lifestyle design company renowned for its original prints and colors.

No matter how hard you try to avoid, at some time, you'll need some financial help from a lending institution. If you are in a financial crisis and can't find any help, getting a loan is your best bet. Make sure that you live in an area near a lending company.
If you are living in Irondale, Alabama your best option for immediate financial need is to consider payday loans Irondale in AL. This loan can help you with your financial issues with fewer requirements. However, this is a short-term loan, so you have to pay it within 7 to 14 days or on your next payday. Many people who are on a tight budget are thankful that such a loan exists.
If you need the money and your credit history is not as impressive, you may try applying for a short-term loan. And if this is your first time to take a loan, don't worry.We will help you on your way to getting the money. This post will provide the vital information you need to help you decide.
Irondale payday loans strictly follow the rule governing the lending industry. According to law, all short-term lending in Irondale in AL is governed by the Colorado Revised Statutes 5-3. 1-101 et seq. The law allows the borrowers to lend money up to $500. The loan term is not as short as you think it is.They will enable a minimum of six months. However, Colorado law limits the interest rate the lending company can charge, allowing up to 45% of the annual percentage rate (APR).
Before you consider applying for a short-term payday loan in Irondale, Alabama near your area, you need to understand that these types of loans have high rates and fees that could trap you and pin you down into a cycle of debt. A borrower may end up applying for another loan to pay back the first loan and so on.
As a result, you will need to pay several lending companies at the same time. Not to mention, the interest rates and other charges are such a burden. If you think you cannot handle the fees and the length of payment, you can look for alternatives:
Some of the options you can consider are as follows:
You can search for local resources such as non-profit agencies, local charities, and government agencies. These institutions offer free financial services, and they provide help to pay your rent, utilities and even give food.
You can discuss the matter with your biller providers and request for an extension. If you are behind, you can request a longer payment scheme or extend your due date.
You can look for additional ways to earn an income. There are lots of online jobs and other land-based jobs.You can apply for them without affecting your 9 to 5 job. You can sell old items that you have but with value. You can apply as a rideshare service or a deliveryman and others.
Other essential factors you need to know before taking the short-term loan:
Be aware of the monthly maintenance fees. It should not be over $7.50 per $100 loaned and should not exceed $30 per month.
Renewal fees should not go above 45% APR.
The financing fees in Irondale payday loans should only add up to 20% of the amount loaned for borrowers of $300, and an additional 7.5% in every $100 if it exceeds $300.
People are confused about whether payday loans and cash advance are the same. If you are just a first time borrower, you will surely have a hard time determining this. They seem to be similar, but they differ in many aspects. Below are some of the obvious difference between the two services:
Both cash advance and payday loans are short term loans. They differ on how you can get them. A cash advance can be accessed using your credit card. With a payday loan, you need to fill-up a form and submit the requirements online or through the loan store.
In cash advance, the amount of loan depends on the credit limit assigned by the company. The payday loan amount will range between $100 to $1000.
Cash advance loans add up interest in an instant and allow you to pay it long term. The payday loans also have interest charges, but you need to pay it right away most of the time. Depending on your pay cycle,it can be two weeks or even one month.
Cash advance loans may add up 24% APR which is quite lower than the payday loans, which typically has 400% APR.
To get a cash advance, you need to have a credit card while the short term loan is availed via bank account.
Cash advance has $10 to $20 fee, which is 3% to 5% in every transaction. The short term loan may add around $15 to $30 per $100 borrowed.
If you think short-term loans are the best solution for your money immediate needs, then your decision should depend on various factors. Also, you need to be sure as to whether or not payday loans are allowed in your state, the highest amount you can get, and how long you need to repay it.
Just like any other payday loan, the payday loans no credit check in Irondale in Alabama are easy, fast, and short term. You can apply for the payday loans Irondale no credit check anywhere. All you need to do is to submit a photo ID and your bank statement to get cash. If you need to pay your house rent, for your vehicle repair, pay off utility bills, short-term cash advance, and medical expenses, you can easily get it via payday loans Irondale no credit check.
Some lending companies may require you to bring your signed check so you can get the amount you need. Recently, many people found these loans very uncomfortable due tohigh-interest rates and a maximum loan amount of $400. Aside from the interest added to the principal loan, the loan is designed as a single payment. However, in 2012 that loan fees were reduced as implied by the US legislation.
Payback of money was divided into six installments over six months without penalty within a certain period. The essential and basic rule is to pay the amount within the stated period on the terms and conditions.
Most times, each borrower will go through a credit check upon applying for a loan through financial institutions. It's a different story with these reliable loans, and the borrower may undergo a soft credit check for security purposes. These loans rely on paychecks and other information. So, they do not focus a lot on your credit score. Instead, they are more into checking a better and clearer view of the borrower's status.
There is no doubt, such loans are easier and justified as compared to other financial aid from the banks. However, if you don't have a checking account, you can still apply for a loan and get the money. They will base the approval on your salary and credibility.
Online loansare an easy way to help solve your financial problems. It is hard to find ways to unexpected expenses, like seasonal cost, repair bills, and emergency fees. The payday loans online in Irondale in AL can help you overcome money problems. The process of getting a loan is easy. With just a few clicks, you can recover from your financial stress fast. As compared to a bank loan, applying online is very simple, providing you peace of mind fast.
Payday loans are very flexible. You received the cash when you needed, and where you need it. The amount of money may range from $100 to $1500, depending on your financial situation. Payday loans Irondale no credit check eliminates the long lines, hassles, and waiting time. Your loan application remains confidential, and each applicant is assured.
The process of online payday loans in Irondale, Alabama is similar to other states. A borrower should fill-up an application form, including your basic personal information. It depends on the lending platform the borrower prefers. The lending company then evaluates the form, or forward it to different direct lenders via an affiliate loan agency.
As soon as the lender finds the borrower meets all the criteria, a notification is sent that his application is approved. It's because of this it is also called as guaranteed approval loans. Signing the agreement is the next step. The lender and the borrower will have a copy of the agreement. You have to read and understand the agreement thoroughly before affixing your signature. Clearing any doubts about the terms and conditions is a good move. Once everything is settled, the cash is then transferred to the borrower's account within 24 hours or less.

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
Description: | Group authorization using DBM files |
Status: | Extension |
Module Identifier: | authz_dbm_module |
Source File: | mod_authz_dbm.c |
Compatibility: | Available in Apache 2.1 and later |
This module provides authorization capabilities so that
authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions
of the web site by group membership. Similar functionality is
provided by mod_authz_groupfile
Apache's Require
directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that
a user is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_dbm extends the
authorization types with dbm-group
Since v2.4.8, expressions are supported within the DBM require directives.
This directive specifies group membership that is required for the user to gain access.
Require dbm-group admin
When this directive is specified, the user must be a member of the group assigned to the file being accessed.
Require dbm-file-group
Note that using mod_authz_dbm requires you to require dbm-group
instead of group
<Directory "/foo/bar"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Secure Area" AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMUserFile "site/data/users" AuthDBMGroupFile "site/data/users" Require dbm-group admin </Directory>
Description: | Sets the name of the database file containing the list of user groups for authorization |
Syntax: | AuthDBMGroupFile file-path |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_authz_dbm |
The AuthDBMGroupFile
directive sets the
name of a DBM file containing the list of user groups for user
authorization. File-path is the absolute path to the
group file.
The group file is keyed on the username. The value for a user is a comma-separated list of the groups to which the users belongs. There must be no whitespace within the value, and it must never contain any colons.
Make sure that the AuthDBMGroupFile
stored outside the document tree of the web-server. Do
not put it in the directory that it protects.
Otherwise, clients will be able to download the
unless otherwise
Combining Group and Password DBM files: In some cases it is easier to manage a single database which contains both the password and group details for each user. This simplifies any support programs that need to be written: they now only have to deal with writing to and locking a single DBM file. This can be accomplished by first setting the group and password files to point to the same DBM:
AuthDBMGroupFile "/www/userbase" AuthDBMUserFile "/www/userbase"
The key for the single DBM is the username. The value consists of
Encrypted Password : List of Groups [ : (ignored) ]
The password section contains the encrypted password as before. This is followed by a colon and the comma separated list of groups. Other data may optionally be left in the DBM file after another colon; it is ignored by the authorization module. This is what www.telescope.org uses for its combined password and group database.
Description: | Sets the type of database file that is used to store list of user groups |
Syntax: | AuthzDBMType default|SDBM|GDBM|NDBM|DB |
Default: | AuthzDBMType default |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_authz_dbm |
Sets the type of database file that is used to store the list of user groups. The default database type is determined at compile time. The availability of other types of database files also depends on compile-time settings.
It is crucial that whatever program you use to create your group files is configured to use the same type of database.

Republican questions about how and when changes were made to his administration's "talking points" about last September's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, are a "sideshow," President Obama told reporters at the White House on Monday.
"There's no there, there," the president declared.
"What we have been clear about throughout," Obama insisted, is that "we were not clear who exactly had carried this out."
Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, died in the attack.
Obama spoke during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, in which they also took questions about:
-- The IRS's targeting of conservative groups, which Obama called "outrageous," if true.
-- The situation in Syria. Cameron told NPR earlier in the day that plans for peace talks involving the U.S. and Russia mark a "real breakthrough."
Minutes after the president's remarks about Benghazi and the questions Republicans have been raising, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, tweeted a link to a Wall Street Journal op-ed headlined "Benghazi Disinformation Points." That piece begins with this:
"Friday's revelation that the Obama Administration's talking points on Benghazi were revised a dozen times adds another reason not to trust the official story line. It also gives Congress new cause to keep digging."
