HIV/AIDS Awareness
My domestic partner has been with a community health organization that combats HIV/AIDS especially underprivileged communities. The magazine POZ had this article about a superhero group named the O+Men by Digital Noixe Publishing. A band of HIV-positive crime fighters that gained powers from an AIDS antidote gone awry. I have been unable to find anything else on the inter-web about it the O+Men, but below is a link to the clinic.

Shasta Lusk
My nephew, Evaristo Castillo, passed Shasta Lusk at a park one day in Austin. Later they met as extras on the set of a Colin Farrell
movie. They eventually become a couple even & appeared in a film "Tom's Wife" together. Shasta has left for Hollywood to
find fame. I wish her the best.
See more of her at www.silvermoonpictures.com or on imdb. My nephew, Evaristo, is on imdb as well, but he needs to send in a pic.

Helios Gene Gun
This is very sci-fi. What are the future applications of something like this?
The Helios Gene Gun is a new way for in vivo transformation of cells or organisms (i.e. gene therapy and genetic immunization aka DNA vaccination. This gun uses Biolistic particle bombardment where DNA- or RNA-coated gold particles are loaded into the gun and you pull the trigger. A low pressure helium pulse delivers the coated gold particles into virtually any target cell or tissue. The particles carry the DNA so that you do not have to remove cells from tissue in order to transform the cells.

My comic retailer did not pull this for me and I was peeved, but then I found out that is was a free comic on Free Comic Day 2007. At least I can read it on-line at Dark Horse. "Conceived and written by Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance), The Umbrella Academy features interior art by Gabriel Bá (Casanova) and Dave Stewart (Hellboy) and covers by multiple-Eisner-Award-winning artist James Jean (Fables). The Umbrella Academy debuts with a 12-page story set before the start of the upcoming series." Thanks to the fine folks at newsarama.com.

Black Summer
If you enjoy comics, you should read Black Summer from Avatar Press. "The American military machine is mobilised in pursuit of John Horus -- and his one-time comrades. Withheld information and misplaced anger leads to open fire in the streets of the city that the Seven Guns came from, and the hammer of the wrath of the government and the people is about to come down on five people who, just twenty four hours ago, were at best forgotten heroes."
