(CNN) -- A 2-year-old Mississippi girl is the first child to be "functionally cured" of HIV, researchers announced Sunday.
Researchers said they believe early intervention -- in this case within 30 hours of birth -- with three anti-viral drugs was key to the outcome.
A "functional cure" is when the presence of the virus is so small, lifelong treatment is not necessary and standard clinical tests cannot detect the virus in the blood.
The finding was announced at the 2013 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta.
The unidentified girl was born HIV-positive to a mother who received no prenatal care and was not diagnosed as HIV-positive herself until just before delivery.
"We didn't have the opportunity to treat the mom during the pregnancy as we would like to be able do to prevent transmission to the baby," said Dr. Hannah Gay.
Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, told CNN the timing of intervention in this case, before the baby was diagnosed HIV-positive, may deserve "more emphasis than the particular drugs or number of drugs used."
"We are hoping that future studies will show that very early institution of effective therapy will result in this same outcome consistently," she said on the eve of the conference.
High-risk exposure
Dr. Katherine Luzuriaga, an immunologist at the University of Massachusetts who worked closely with Gay, called the developments fascinating, including the fact that the toddler was found to have no virus in her blood even after her mother stopped giving her treatment for eight to 10 months.
"This is the very first case in which we've conclusively been able to document that the baby was infected and then after a period of treatment has been able to go off treatment without viral rebound," Luzuriaga told CNN.
Because it was determined the Mississippi mother was HIV-positive, once the baby was delivered, Gay immediately began giving the infant antiretroviral drugs in an attempt to control HIV infection.
"We started therapy as early as possible, which in this case was about 30 hours of age," the physician said. "And because it was a high-risk exposure, I decided to use three drugs rather than one."
Within a couple of days, Gay confirmed that the child was HIV positive. She says the baby had probably been infected in the womb.
The child remained on antiretroviral drugs for approximately 15 months. Her mother then stopped administering the drug for some reason and care was resumed after health officials intervened, Gay said.
Researchers have long known that treating HIV-positive mothers early on is important, because they pass antibodies on to their babies.
"One hundred percent of (HIV-positive) moms will pass those antibodies, but in the absence of treatment, only 30% of moms will transmit the actual virus," Luzuriaga told CNN.
HIV-positive mothers given appropriate treatment pass the virus on in less than 2% of cases, Luzuriaga said.
"So all babies are born antibody positive, but only a fraction of babies born to HIV positive women will actually get the virus, and that fraction depends on whether the mom and baby are getting antiviral prophylaxis (preventative treatment) or not," said Luzuriaga.
Newborns are considered high-risk if their mothers' HIV infections are not under control or if they are found to be HIV-positive when they're close to delivering.

Moving quickly to suppress the virus
Usually, these infants would get anti-viral drugs at preventative doses for six weeks to prevent infection, then start therapy if HIV is diagnosed.
Investigators say the Mississippi case may change that practice because it highlights the potential for cure with very early standard antiretroviral therapy (ART).
ART is a combination of at least three drugs used to suppress the virus and stop the progression of the disease.
But they do not kill the virus. Tests showed the virus in the Mississippi baby's blood continued to decrease and reached undetectable levels within 29 days of the initial treatment.
Dr. Deborah Persaud, a virologist with Johns Hopkins Children's Center, was lead author on the report.
The early treatment likely led to the infant's cure, she said.
"Prompt antiviral therapy in newborns that begins within days of exposure may help infants clear the virus and achieve long-term remission without lifelong treatment by preventing such viral hideouts from forming in the first place," Persaud says.
Persaud and Luzuriaga are part of a group of researchers working to explore and document possible pediatric HIV cure cases. The group was funded by a grant from amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research; and the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Rowena Johnston, amfAR vice president and director of research, said it is "imperative that we learn more about a newborn's immune system, how it differs from an adults and what factors made it possible for the child to be cured."
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, is enthusiastic about the findings.
"The best way to either eliminate the virus or allow the immune system to suppress residual virus is to treat someone as early as possible after infection so as not to allow a substantial reservoir of the virus to take hold," Fauci told CNN.
"At the same time, you prevent the immune system from being severely damaged by the continual replication of (the) virus for an extended period of time," he said. "The situation with a child born of an infected mother where most of the infections are transmitted to the newborn at or around the time of delivery provides an excellent opportunity to cure an infected baby, and this approach deserves further study."
"Berlin patient"
Researchers say the only other documented case of an HIV cure is that of Timothy Brown, the "Berlin patient." In 2007, Brown, an HIV-positive American living in Germany, was battling both leukemia and HIV when he underwent a bone marrow transplant that cured not only his cancer but his HIV as well.
In an interview last year, Brown told Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, he was still HIV-free.
"I've been tested everywhere possible," said Brown who now lives in San Francisco. "My blood's been tested by many, many agencies, I've had two colonoscopies to test to see if they could find HIV in my colon, and they haven't been able to find any."
But Brown's case is rare.
And, the procedure, which is extremely dangerous, won't work in most patients because the bone marrow he received had a special genetic mutation that made the stem cells in it naturally resistant to the virus.
Researchers tell CNN only 1% of Caucasians -- mostly Northern Europeans -- and no African-Americans or Asians have this particular mutation.
Last June, five years after he was "cured," reports surfaced that "traces" of the virus had been found in Brown's blood.
Even then, some HIV experts said that doesn't matter, that he's been cured. In fact, many AIDS experts believe Brown has experienced what's called a "sterilizing" cure, meaning the virus has been eliminated from the body entirely.
Routine clinical testing on the Mississippi toddler continues, Gay says.
So far, there is no evidence of the virus.
"On the ultra-sensitive testing, we are occasionally getting signals so we cannot say with certainty that this child is absolutely clear of HIV, but we will continue to follow up with the baby," Luzuriaga said. "We have formed a hypothesis and that is already driving the design of new studies and clinical trials that will help us to answer the question of whether by coming in very early we will be able to treat children for a while and then remove them from therapy."

As I get older and with each year that passes me by, I've begun to notice my parents aging. I still consider them young for their age, but they aren't as youthful and spry as they once were. They complain of aches and pains that weren't present before. They have ailments for which they need medicate. They doze off while we watch TV together, just like how they used to complain of their parents doing so while they spent time together. They're becoming more forgetful. They are slowly being adorned with wrinkles and gray hair. It has made me realize how little I know about my parents.
My partner has been pushing me to document my parents' life stories, and to also document the recipes that we grew up with. She wants to ensure that we can pass down our family stories to the next generation. You see, I know very little about my family history. I can recall bits and pieces of my parents' childhood, but not enough to tell a story. It saddens me. I had so many opportunities to spend time with my great grandfather and grandparents to learn more about them and their life in China, but I didn't. Hindsight is always 20/20, right?
I lost my heritage while desperately immersing myself into Western cultures while growing up as an Asian-American. I didn't want to be Chinese. I thought I was the ugly duckling next to my non-Asian classmates while in grade school. I wanted to be the blond hair, blue-eyed girl next door. If someone asked me what I was, I'd quickly respond with, "American." I hated checking the "Asian" box for my ethnicity. I used to always wonder to myself, why did I have to be Chinese? Why me? It just wasn't fair. I can also recall how I didn't like to be out in public with my parents because I was so embarrassed by their broken English. Thankfully, this all changed during the mid-90s when Amy Tan came out with The Joy Luck Club that I gained some pride in my nationality.
I realize that it's not too late to start interviewing my parents and my relatives. I just don't want to keep procrastinating this project or else it might just be too late. So I'm going to do what my partner suggested, and dedicate a series titled, My Chinese Family. I hope you'll enjoy the stories and the recipes, as much as I have as a child and still do as an adult.
To start off this series, I wanted to dedicate this post to my Mom. She is my hero. The most influential person in my life. My brother and I are very lucky to have her as our Mom. She's also an amazing chef… we ALWAYS look forward to Monday night dinners at Mama Chang's! One of the ultimate comfort foods for me is my Mom's Chinese chive dumplings with shrimps and scallops. My Mom doesn't cook with recipes… it's a little dash of this, and a little dash of that. So it was always hard trying to cook with my Mom when I was growing up. And to this day, it's still hard because now I'm trying to translate her dashes into measurements 🙂
Chinese Chive Dumplings (Jiaozi) with Shrimps and Scallops
1 large bunches of Chinese chives, rinsed and drained, chopped into 1/4-inch dices
1 pounds scallops, chopped into 1/4-inch dices
2 pounds shrimp, chopped into 1/4-inch dices
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth or water
3 packages pot sticker wraps (or homemade dumpling dough)
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together, except for the Chinese chives. Using a pair of chopsticks, mix the ingredients in ONE direction [This technique allows everything to combine; whereas, if you were to mix in all directions, the mixture would separate, rather than come together. It works because my Mom says so :)] until thoroughly combined, about 5 minutes. [Your forearms will certainly get a good workout.] Next, pour in the Chinese chives and mix in one direction for another five minutes until all the ingredients have been thoroughly combined. This may sound yucky to some, but take a piece of the Chinese chive and place it in your mouth to test the seasoning. If it seems bland, adjust the seasoning with adding a little extra more salt.
Heat a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. [Trust me, you'll want to do this ahead of time to get the water to boil faster because you'll want to eat those dumplings immediately after their wrapped. And besides, you never want to watch a pot to boil water or else it'll just take longer (or so it seems).]
Prepare a small bowl of water and cut open the pot sticker wraps. Place a small portion (about one heaping tablespoonful or a little more if you are advanced) of the filling into the middle of each wrapper. Wet the edges of the dumpling with water. Fold the dough over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Continue with the remainder of the dumplings.
As you get down to the last few dumplings to wrap, turn the heat to high to boil the pot of water. Once it comes to a boil, add a teaspoon of sesame oil [this helps them to not stick] and half the dumplings, giving them a gentle stir so they don't stick together. Bring the water to a boil, and add 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover and repeat. When the dumplings come to a boil for a third time, they are ready. Carefully drain and remove. If desired, they can be pan-fried at this point.
Serve with your favorite Chinese dipping sauces. I love to dip mine with a mixture of soy sauce, white distilled vinegar, and a homemade Chinese XO sauce. Yum.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chief executive officer of Japan's SoftBank Corp on Tuesday called the U.S. wireless market an oligopoly plagued by slow speeds and high prices and said his company's Sprint Corp could shake up the competition, but it would require a scale that Sprint cannot reach alone.
Masayoshi Son, the billionaire CEO of SoftBank, in his first public speech to a U.S. audience since his company gained control of Sprint last year, lambasted the U.S. wireless market as offering "pseudo-competition."
Son did not directly speak about his efforts to engineer a merger of Sprint and T-Mobile US Inc, the No. 3 and No. 4 U.S. wireless carriers, but told reporters he hoped to meet again sometime with U.S. regulators, who so far have given a cold shoulder to such a deal.
He made a pitch for Sprint to not only challenge its traditional wireless competitors - No. 1 player Verizon Communications Inc and No. 2 AT&T Inc - but also wireline Internet providers such as Comcast Corp.
"I brought the network war and price war (to Japan). I'd like to bring that to the States," Son told an audience of industry officials at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"I would like to provide an alternative to the oligopolistic situation that two-thirds of American households can only get access to one or two providers. I'd like to be a third alternative with 10 times the speed and lower price."
Son said Sprint has the same type of radio frequencies that helped SoftBank compete in Japan and SoftBank has technologies that could boost speeds and lower prices, but his companies needed more towers and other support to properly challenge the biggest Internet providers.
"We have the spectrum. We have the technology. But we need scale, efficiency to make an investment for the network," Son told reporters after his speech.
"We are already free cash-flow negative. So we can start a small fight but it does not scale, it does not last, it's not sustainable. We need to have a real fight, a long and deep and heavy fight. And for that, we need scale."
Both the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Tom Wheeler, and U.S. antitrust chief William Baer expressed skepticism about a merger of Sprint and T-Mobile after Son's round of meetings in Washington in February.
SoftBank is now focused on convincing the parties involved with the merits of a merger, a senior company executive said, adding that any moves toward pursuing a deal were now on hold. The official declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly.
Son, who once threatened to set himself on fire as he pushed Japanese regulators to let him set up a high-speed Internet service, has shown he does not give up easily. He said he was not planning on new meetings with U.S. regulators during this trip, "but whenever we have the opportunity sometime in the future, that is I think necessary."
Softbank said on Tuesday it hired Bruce Gottlieb as its executive vice president for legal and regulatory affairs in Washington. Gottlieb has been president of the National Journal since 2012 and is a former chief counsel of the Federal Communications Commission.
"Last year, we made the largest-ever foreign investment by a Japanese company in the United States and we expect Bruce will play a key role in helping us manage the investments we have made in the U.S. mobile internet industry," SoftBank Holdings Inc President Ron Fisher said in a statement.
Son has repeatedly expressed his desire to make SoftBank the biggest mobile-related corporation in the world, and in the past has harshly criticized U.S. mobile networks and the degree of competition in the industry.
The potential for the deal and Son's criticisms have given an edge to the dynamic among top wireless executives.
"If Mr. Son is having a bad experience with U.S. wireless, it must be because he's using Sprint," Jim Cicconi, AT&T's senior executive vice president for external and legislative affairs, said jokingly in an emailed statement.
Even T-Mobile's CEO, John Legere, an avid user of social media site Twitter, quipped last week, "Remember when people actually liked @sprint? Yeah, me either. #SprintLikeHell"

A crow pursues a worm through a field. Today, the worm makes it home... The crow, however, eats some grass... Wham! Meanwhile, out in space, a tiny renegade ship piloted by Snott a booper-being escapes from the evil Queen with a stolen ultra-high tech, indestructible, super space cyber suit on board. The craft is being pursued by the infamous bounty hunter Psycrow. Psycrow pulls out a gun to make Snott hand over the suit. Snott reaches inside for a slightly bigger gun. This of course worries Psycrow because he has gun envy. He reaches inside and pulls out the huge Motha' Blaster of them all! Snott throws up his hands in numb despair, but as Psycrow pulls the trigger Snott jumps in the backpack of the suit... Blaze! The ship is cooked away, the suit falls helplessly to Earth, Psycrow sees he must pursue the suit. Back on Earth the worm wonders if it is safe to come out of his hole. He looks right, he looks left.. It seems to be safe unknown to him the suit falls to earth. The suit land right on top of the worm. Luckily, he rest safely within the neck section of the suit. The space particles interact with the worm's soft flesh causing some kind of radical light speed evolution. Suddenly, the worm realises he is in control of the suit. Thus ...The birth of EARTHWORM JIM. Jim's creativity is kicked into action as he realises he has something attached to his belt He pulls it out Unknown to him, its a plasma blaster. Meanwhile the crow in the background investigates the hole... BLAM! Jim fires off a plasma shot ...SQUAWK! Is heard in the background. The crow attempts to get up. Earthworm Jim lean against a tree to rest a bit, but he doesn't realise that the suit possesses overwhelming power and he topples the tree with ease... on to the crow, destroying his old nemesis. Earthworm Jim figures he has it easy from now on, until he hears something over his shoulder. Spying over the toppled tree, Jim sees Psycrow talking to the Queen, announcing that he has evidence that her suit is very near. Jim disappears into the city and embarks on the greatest adventure of his life. ____________________________________________ |QUESTIONS ABOUT EWJ (Answered by Dave Perry)| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Where did the suit come from ?

Only one prototype was made before it was stolen by a spy. How did Jim end up with the suit ? It was stolen by the Booper-beings who ran as far away from the Queen as they could. Unfortunately, the ship that was carrying the suit was blasted out of the sky by the Psycrow, a freelance bounty hunter, the suit fell out of the sky and landed on a lowly earthworm, who was then transformed into the mighty Earthworm Jim by the suit's molecular moulding properties.

Fifi's can be killed with a couple of shots from your blaster Pressing up while swinging across a chain prevents Fifi from taking a good chunk out of your arse. At the start whip the fridge to launch the cow so you can continue. Jumping while climbing the conveyer belt speeds up the process. Hooked rocks and mounted moose heads are great things to swing from. Use the Whip (A button) to grapple onto them. At the second continue point the level splits into two paths the high road to the right that has lots of weapon power-ups and the low road to the left accessible from swinging from the moose antler which in the end gives you an extra life, I suggest taking the "high road" then backtrack and take the "low road". If you are on a zipline that is going nowhere, shoot in the opposite direction you want to move. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A Extra Life & a Mega Plasma Blast- Just ahead after launching the cow there will be a ledge leading to a pile of tires, between the ledge and the tires is a gap. You can jump of the ledge and helicopter (Tap the B button repetitively ) down the gap to a lower section of the level. Now swing across the long chain and you will find a Extra Life & A Mega Plasma Blast (MPB). Shortcut & 7 Mega Plasma Blasts- Climb to the top of the first tire pile then bounce to the left there should be a platform there. From this platform jump onto the zip-line now jump when you see another zip-line and whip so you grapple onto the moose antlers, you should land onto a chain. Now climb across the chain to a platform. From this platform jump to the zip-line. Now jump from zip-line to pulley to the next platform. Now make your way to the warp toilet killing two Fifi's and collecting one MPB. Now jump on the toilet and you will warp. Now collect the close MPB and jump on the platform on the right with another MPB then jump again and collect another MPB. Now jump and whip the hook collecting another four MPB's in the process. Walk left now and you will emerge into the cavern below the Junk Thing. A Extra Life & 2 Mega Plasma Blasts- Climb to the top of the first tire pile then bounce to the left there should be a platform there. From this platform jump onto the zip-line now while on the zip-line hold right even once you fall off, you should land on the next zip-line. This will lead to a tire cavern with a MPB, jump in the alcove to the right until a swirl of light appears now there will be a Extra Life next to the MPB above the conveyor belt to get them carry after the conveyor belt there is a Continue point from that walk right till you see a higher platform. Jump up to it and from it jump and swing across the hooks to the bonuses. 750 Plasma Rounds and 2 Mega Plasma Blasts- After the first tire pile climb up the platforms to a level with a Fifi. Now walk left till you can't any more then climb up the rock face jumping while doing so. It should unlock 3 Plasma Power Cells below the chains to the right. Now after collecting them walk right until you see a cow road sign. Now jump to the rock face and climb as high as you can then move to the left, you should be climbing on a offscreen chain, follow it to the two MPB's. 100% Suit Power after fighting the Junk Thing- After killing the Junk Thing walk right and jump up and pull yourself up from the edge, then walk a little right till you see a swirl of light. Now swing from the hook above you to the left so you collect the 100% Suit Power. 500 Plasma Rounds and 16% Suit Power while fighting Chuck- After Chuck starts moving back jump on the spring but hold down B once you land on it. You should fly up to a platform with bonuses. You can also do this before Chuck even appears. __________ |Junk Thing| (Mid-level Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ WARNING! will flash up on the screen halfway through this level. Now you will have to fight the Junk Thing. First it will be in it's Human phase where it will stomp so trumpets fall on you, simply shoot it. Now it will go to it's Tank phase where it will shoot anvils at you, so shoot it some more till it starts moving. Now you must not let it get close to you or it will quickly change back to the Human phase and uppercut you. So continue shooting while avoiding it with well timed jumps. _____ |Chuck| (Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯ Ok, this guy is pretty easy when you know what you're doing. Do not shoot Chuck or he will just regurgitate fish at you. To kill him you must wait for the magnet to drop a crate, then you must whip it to right onto the spring so it bounces up and hits Chuck. Beware though if there is already a crate on the screen the magnet will drop a trumpet which is quite painful, so whip it or shoot it before it falls on you. After being hit he will regurgitate fish at you so walk towards the spring. Now after you whip three crates at him he will start moving, now you must time your whips so the crates will hit him. After six crates to the hiney, he will explode off screen. **************************************** A N D Y A S T E R I O D S - Sub-level **************************************** Control Pad- Steer Pocket Rocket A Button- Use Asteroid Shield B Button- Accelerate This level is sandwiched between most levels. In it you race against Psycrow on your Pocket Rocket, while avoiding asteroids on the way to the finish line. If you lose you will be forced to fight Psycrow, if you lose just shoot him till he's dizzy then whip him. Try to collect the Asteroid Shields because when used they give you invincibility for a short time and any contact with Psycrow will cause him to drop back considerably. Obviously always try to beat Psycrow to the Atomic Accelerators, try nudging him into the asteroids. Also collecting 50 Fuel Pods will earn you a continue. **************************************** W H A T T H E H E C K ? **************************************** This level is kind of cool! The music and Evil the Cat dancing in the back gives it real atmosphere. Evil the Cat is one of the coolest bosses, He acts like a real cat; cleaning and preening himself in mid-battle and the 9 lives to kill him is a comical touch! ____ |Tips| ¯¯¯¯ Kill Demons with the whip attack. It is more economical then blasting them. Lawyers can be killed with a whip then a flurry of plasma, You will be given a Mega Plasma Blast for your trouble. Watch out for the blisters on the ground if you step on them you will be chased by a wall of fire, so jump over them. Run on the Gems in the opposite direction their spinning for varied results. Whip the cranks to open the gates. But be quick they will only be open for a short time. After killing the Snowman, To avoid the stalactite shower caused by Evil's bomb do not go near the 100% Suit Power (Orange Orb) up ahead. After floating up on the Gems that don't require running on them jump to the left to collect a life. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Extra Life and Shortcut- After the first fire wave there is a large hill with a 100% Suit Power on top, from the top jump off to the left and helicopter to the left you should land on a platform now whip the hook above and you will swing to a Extra Life. Now run back up the hill and helicopter down to the platform again now jump to the platform above by jumping out then back in, you should pull yourself up onto the platform. Avoid the Snowman- When you meet the first Lawyer there should be a crank nearby. So stand in front of the crank then press down (while facing right) then whip. You should grab onto a hook and you will swing down. A Extra Life & 4 Mega Plasma Blasts- After the Snowman there is a Continue Point. Above it is a hook, jump and swing to the right from the hook and you should land in a cavern with a Life and 4 MPB's. Shortcut- On the platform after floating up on the Gems that don't require running. Jump and helicopter to the right, you will land on a glitched platform. No jump up and to the right. _______ |Snowman| (Mid-level Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Simply attack him while jumping to avoid his fireballs. ____________ |Evil the Cat| (Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ In the first phase Jim will be without his suit and Evil will have a really big gun that shoots fire. Simply jump the fire it shoots out. After 20 blast go into the pillar below Evil, it will move to the next phase. Now you will have to use your reflexes (hopefully their like a steel trap). Evil will jump from seemingly random places, so shoot him when he pops up. After each hit 2 waves of fire will appear so jump and helicopter to avoid them. After he loses all 9 lives you will win. **************************************** D O W N T H E T U B E S **************************************** I consider this and Tube Race one level, since the graphics are the same and there is no Andy Asteroid level in between. ____ |Tips| ¯¯¯¯ Sea Mines can be killed with single whip. To avoid the Drone Cats, wait till they start walking away from you then follow them up to the bubble, Now jump up and press up to pick up your bum then after it walks past jump down and continue. To get past the Drone Kittens find the switch (it is above the hamster cage) and whip it. Then jump on the hamster and hold down any button so the hamster chomps all of the Kittens. In the Sea Pods use short bursts to prevent cracking the hull. If you cannot go any further because of a airlock look for a switch to whip. To refuel the Sea Pods with air, line the spout to the left of the pod with the tip of the air supply station. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 100% Suit Power & 3 Mega Plasma Blasts- In the first Sea Pod float up then follow the sea roof (?) to the right until you get to a steel bar coming out of the rocks. Then float up and to the left to collect the bonuses. A Extra Life- After the 2nd Sea Pod you will have to be beaten up by a Drone Kitten to continue. Right after being thrown by the kitten jump. Now you will float up to the Extra Life. **************************************** T U B E R A C E **************************************** This level contains the hardest boss in the game, Bob is so hard I won't even give a strategy to kill him, your on your own. ____ |Tips| ¯¯¯¯ Jump over the kitties at the start, don't bother shooting them. In the Pod Race you can probably go full boar for the first half, but slow down when the turns get sharper. After the Pod Race in the mine field jump up a lot you will be sucked up and you will be able to collect 750 Plasma Rounds. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 100% Suit Power- At the start after a walking past some kitties then through another tube you should appear in a large room. Whip the hook above you and swing to the right as hard as you can, you should cling onto an edge above the hamsters cage. Climb up and you will be rewarded with 100% Suit Power. 2 Extra Lives and 750 Plasma Rounds- In the Pod Race after the first steel bar lattice slow down and inspect the rock above you should find a hole to a grotto with an Extra Life, Now exit and soon above you is a cache with 3 Plasma Power Cells. Now continue but after the 2nd lattice inspect the rock above for another cache with a Extra Life. Hidden Air Supply- After the small gap which is a shortcut there is a U-Turn. Inspect the bottom left of this U-Turn for a passage into the Hidden Air Supply. **************************************** S N O T A P R O B L E M **************************************** Control Pad- Shifts jim's weight in the direction pressed. A Button- Shoulder barge. This one of the most fun levels in the game. You and Major Mucus have a bungee jump contest to the death that is quite easy to pass once you get the hang of it. Mucus Phlegm Brain in the goo below is the biggest threat in this level. He can kill you with one bite so stay away. The easiest way to beat Major Mucus is to follow this pattern. On way the way up hug the wall but hold up on the Control Pad so the Major can't hurt you, he will follow your example and hug the wall too. Then when you reach the top push out then down then back, Now press A and barge the Major into the wall a lot, repeat. **************************************** L E V E L 5 **************************************** ____ |Tips| ¯¯¯¯ At the start swing to the left from the hook above to get some Plasma Rounds. Shoot at the One-Eyed Slimes till they explode then shoot all the grubs they release though it is possible to kill them with whips. The Brains can be killed with one whip. To get the escalators working jump from the ions at the start (but time it so so you don't get electrocuted), then swing from the hook to the plasma balls then make your way up to the target then shoot it. Whenever EWJ disappears behind a pillar jump to collect power-ups. When you hop in a cage it will take you to two places with 8 chutes that amoeba will come down at you, you must shoot them so you don't loose any life. So here are the sequences that they come down from the chutes: Think of it like a compass. eg. The left chute is the W chute. 1st set of chutes- NE, W then NW, W then NW, NE, W then NW then finally NE. 2nd set of chutes- W then NW, E then NE, W then NW, E the NE, W then NW, E the NE, W then NW then finally E the NE. If Professor Monkey for a Head is beside a value, whip him then shoot all the flying eyes he has released. In the "Naked Worm" sub-level when you are naked for the second time jump for two 100% Suit Powers and Plasma Rounds. Also when you are naked jump in the fans as they will speed you up. If Professor Monkey for a Head is swinging on a chain jump up onto the chain and shoot him till he goes to the next chain. To destroy the irises that release flying eyes, whip them. Whip the red valve for bonuses, beware after a couple of spins it will produce One-Eyed Slimes. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Who Turned Out the Lights? - Secret Level After your third encounter with Professor Monkey for a Head there should be a group of red lights in this pattern up ahead after you swing from a hook : : · · Jump into the larger middle light to warp to the secret level. : : ·1st Area- Head right till you get to a spotlight then jump up to the left to the spotlighted platform but kill the eyes before you jump. Now shoot the eyes to your left then jump towards them then jump to your right so you can grab onto the chain. Now follow the chain to the right till you get to a Extra Life then drop down to the exit door. ·2nd Area- Move right till you can't any more then shoot the eyes above then jump up to where they were. Now jump from spotlighted platform to spotlighted platform till you get to the exit door. ·3rd Area- Go right till a wall blocks you then jump up to a platform, then walk right till you hit another wall then jump to the left for another platform. From this platform jump and helicopter to the right. Now walk as far as you can to the right then walk left to collect a Extra Life then walk left through the. Now go back to the platform you helicoptered from then walk left till you get to a spotlight. Now jump up and walk right to the exit door. ·4th Area- Walk to the right till you hit a wall, then swing to the left from the hook (It sparkles), hold left constantly and whip again to latch onto the next hook which will take you to the exit door. ·5th Area- Walk right till you meet the huge eyes then run left till you are much higher then the eyes. Then jump over the eyes and make a run for the teleporter. 20% Suit Power & a Extra Life- In the "Naked Worm" sub-level after the first time your re-united with your suit head left on the conveyor belt but jump before the caged roof ends. Now whip up the hooks with a pendulum motion to the platform with the bonuses. 100% Suit Power & 1000 Plasma Rounds- After your re-united with your suit for the second time and you have to swing from a hook to continue, jump down below instead then jump left and collect the bonuses. Once your finished go up the suction tube. ______________ |Chicken Walker| (Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Avoid the Chicken Walker by jumping over it when it is walking, and running under it when it is floating. Shoot all the eggs it lays. To kill it you must whip the target when it is below the chute so a amoeba falls on it. After a couple of hits you will warp to the next phase. Where you and the Chicken Walker are falling in a shaft. Now you must shoot it a lot, when it starts laying eggs instead of bombs you know it's almost dead. If it gets too low pull up and it will follow. **************************************** F O R P E T E ' S S A K E **************************************** _____________________________________________ |How to care for your Purple Worm Eating Puppy| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ My puppy keeps falling into the abyss? This is easily solved, just give the little dear a good whip to the arse and it will send him flying with a sharp yelp! My puppy is too fast, I can't keep up? Shoot a Plasma Blaster at the little dear and he will hit the decks faster then someone on the other side of Mike Tyson's fist. That should slow him down. My puppy gets angry when he is constricted by the tentacle of a Unipuss, is this preventable? Yes, Simply shoot the tentacle till it hides in submission or whip your puppy so it flies over it. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it does get constricted that tentacle won't bother you any more. I cannot attend to my puppy, U.F.O's keep getting me with there magnets? Try shooting the U.F.O's till they explode. Are asteriod showers good for my puppy? Your puppy has been applied with Scotch Guard Asteriod Plus so it shouldn't be affected by asteroid showers, but they do affect you so blast away at them. How do I use springs with my puppy? Whip him onto them then jump on the spring, when he reaches the edge jump off. How do I play with my puppy on the See-Saw? Jump on the See-Saw so it dips to the left side, then when your puppy walks on this side quickly run to the other it will send him flying. But you and your puppy would have more fun if you just whip him constantly to get over gaps! I cannot attend to my puppy, cement mixer things get in my way? Just shoot them till they explode. ______________ |Advanced Route| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Once you reach Peter's House whip him so he glides over it so you can take the Advanced Route. The Advanced Route is fairly hard but you will net many Extra Lives on the way to Peter's Castle. **************************************** B U T T V I L E **************************************** ______________ |Use your Head!| (Sub-level) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ All you basically have to do is jump of the platform then helicopter all the way to the bottom while avoiding thorns, but it does split into two ways twice. So here are your choices: ·1st Fork- The left way is narrower & more twisty, it has 2 MPB's and an Extra Life. The right way is wider & less twisty but it's bonuses can only be got with a well timed whip to a hook. It has 4 MPB's and an Extra Life. You can also get the left way's Extra Life if you helicopter to the left as hard as you can, and the you land on a thorn so you jump up to collect it. ·2nd Fork- The left way is much easier, but you will only get some health and a Extra Life. The right way is much harder but you will get 4 MPB's and an Extra Life. ____ |Tips| ¯¯¯¯ The hanging moss can be swung across like chain's and rope's To get the power-ups below the hanging moss that are out of reach, swing across all the way to the right edge. Then swing all the way back. To get the 2 MPB's below the column of hooks. Swing from the lowest hook from both sides. If you are having trouble with the 2 columns of hooks. Try holding up when you swing from hook to hook in a pendulum motion. If you are stuck try looking for a hook or take a leap of faith and helicopter over some thorns. To destroy the hives, shoot them till they explode. Then the bugs they produce won't affect you. To destroy the Butler Worms which can chop you in half with one bite. Lure them out then whip them. The Green Grubworms that lick you to death are invincible so just avoid them. You can only stand on the cocoons (look like basketballs) for a limited time, so jump around on them. The swirl of light that appears on a cocoon makes a Continue point appear on the Queen's butt. If you see any swirls of light on your final walk to the Queen. Backtrack for bonuses. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A Extra Life, 100% Suit Power, a Mega Plasma Blast and 1000 Plasma Rounds- After the first Green Grubworms you have to helicopter past thorns to get to the lower platform, walk all the way to the edge of this platform so a swirl of light appears. Now continue with the level until you land on a cocoon after you helicopter past spikes. Then you must whip the hidden hook to the left of this cocoon, this will take you to a Continue point. Now jump to the left and helicopter to the platform with the Extra Life and the 100% Suit Power. Now jump up on the platform above it and walk on it till a swirl of light appears. Now jump up to the MPB then jump again. Now jump and helicopter to the right collecting Plasma Rounds on the way. A Extra Life & 4 Mega Plasma Blasts- After you land on the Queen's butt you will find some cocoons with Butler Worms above them. Kill them then on the 3rd cocoon jump and whip to the left. You should grapple onto a hook and swing to a platform. On this platform grab the Extra Life and set a swirl of light. This swirl of light will make 4 MPB's appear further on. ___________________________________________ |The Evil Queen... ...slug for a butt's butt| (Warm-up Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Just jump and whip her butt while you avoid the spike platforms that appear. After several whips it will die. Remember to collect the 100% Suit Power after you kill it. ____________________________________ |The Evil Queen... ...slug for a butt| (End Boss) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Simply shoot her in this pattern: When you are directly above her shoot down, when you are directly to the left of her shoot right, When you are directly below her shoot up then suprisingly when you are directly to the right of her shoot left. This will suppress her enough that she won't be able to sick her bugs on you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iii)Codes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***PLEASE READ*** All codes mentioned below are input while paused in any stage Some acquire you to unpause right after they have been input. __________ |Debug Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Left + A, B, X, A, A, B, X then A.

A the only heir o the throne, her husband would become Monarch of the Galaxy! Ruler of the Universe! Master of All! Psy-Crow wants that crown for his own diminutive head. Jim has to stop them before they reach the Lost Vegas system where they can get a quick, non-consenting wedding 24 hours a day. Jim blasts off on their trail, following them from planet to planet. Many of these worlds are summer homes of his worst enemies like Evil the Cat (let's face it, Heck gets just too darn hot in August, even for Evil). Jim's not going alone this time. He's enlisted his pal Snott to help him chase down Psy-Crow and nab the woman of his dreams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iii)New Stuff! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All new levels (dah!).

To get a Extra Life. You can kill the musket wielding Octipi with a single whip, but you will probably be move successful with normal Plasma Rounds or Homing Missiles. To get past the Goldfish and it's Drone Cat, get a pig from the "Happy Oinkers" pigpen (press down while standing in the pen). and walk past the pigcute with it in tow. Now walk past the switch at the bottom of the chute. To collect the 2 Barn Blasters out of reach near the Bubble Gun, Go to the platform just after the first Continue point and snott swing across the two mucus patches to the branch that has them below it. Before the stair climber, go left and whip the bike chains above the Drone Cat to get past them to collect another 2 Barn Blasters. On the stair climber press forward to speed up and backward to slow down. So to get past the grannies speed up, slow down, speed up, speed up then slow down. You can kill the halfpiping Goldfish with a Mega Plasma Blast or a Homing Missile. To lift the weighted plug, pick up a pig from the "Heavy Pigs" pigpen, then stand on the wooden platform connected to the plug and whip to let it go. After putting two pigs on that platform the plug should rise. Before Bob there is a platform above you, climb up on it and walk around till a swirl of light appears then backtrack for 1000 Plasma Rounds. _______ |Secrets| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 32% Suit Power & 1000 3-Finger Gun Rounds- Before the "Happy Oinkers" pigpen is a base of a large tree with a hole in it. Stand so you can see EWJ through the hole and jump. 12 Homing Missiles & a Television- Drop of the rail after the Stair climber and parachute to the left, you will land in a cavern with bonuses. A Extra Life & 6 Mega Plasma Blasts- This ain't that secret but anyway. When you see a sign with the word "BONUS" take it's advice and follow it to a teleporter. It will teleport you to another stair climber. To get past the grannies slow down, speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down then slow down. Now jump off the platform & parachute back to get the Extra Life, Now after teleporting out go back to where the first teleporter was to get 6 MPB's. 100% Suit Power & a Television- After the Can of Worms you have to swing across rope like branches to get the next platform, a swirl of light should appear on that platform. Now go back across the branches then jump to the right to get the bonuses. NOTE: If you collected the other TV then went into the "BONUS" level the TV will do diddly squat. A Chip Butty & 2 Ammo Refills- Right after falling down the hole that you had to lift a plug to get to. Face to the left and press B twice really quickly. You should snott swing to a secret chamber with the bonuses. _____ |Flags| ¯¯¯¯¯ Earth Flag- At the start while your walking you will notice some Suit Power atoms below you. Go down the hole to the right of them then walk to the left until you collect a Homing Missile, then walk to the right until you get the flag. Worm Flag- On the way up the waterfall. Hard to miss! Jim Flag- Below a completely mucus covered roof is a pond follow this pond to the left to get the last flag. **************************************** L O R E N Z E N ' S S O I L **************************************** This is a bit different to a normal EWJ platform level since you use the Plasma Drill to dig through the level and you have to continually collect Stopwatches to delay a earthquake; that will damage your suit. I tried doing the usual Tips & Secrets for this level but it was too hard to put it in that format, So I decided to write a walkthrough in which you collect all the secrets on the way. Here it is, it's quite comprehensive: ______________________ |Excavation Walkthrough| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Walk right and drill at the soil blocking your way. Collect the first Stopwatch and kill the two larvae up ahead with the drill. Now drill a hole diagonally right (Diagonally always means diagonally up in this walkthrough) until you break through (The screen will stop shaking). Walk right then drop down and kill the two larvae down there. Now stand a little back from the right wall then clear all the soil above it by pivoting the drill back and forth (Rub your thumb between the up and right arrows of the control pad). Now do the same for each step till you get to top of the wall and then collect the next Stopwatch. Now drill diagonally left until you break through then climb up to the Continue point. Now head left drilling any soil in your way and collect the Stopwatch. Kill any ants then bury their hole by drilling the soil above it. Now head up and to the right until you get to a flame. Ignore it and jump and snott swing to a Chip Butty. Now head back to the flame, but ignore it again and jump to the left onto the platform with the mucus dripping off it. Now shoot the Psy-Crow Statue before it shoots something at you. Now snott swing from the mucus above you to the left to get to the next platform, then jump to the right and snott swing from the mucus above you to the left. Now jump to the right and destroy the statue, then jump to the left to another platform then jump up again to the platform above it. Then head right drilling any soil or larvae in your way and collect the Extra Life. Now jump of the edge of the platform and parachute to the right. You should collect a Worm Flag & a 100% Suit Power on the way down. Then distinguish the flame by drilling at the soil above it. Continue right, killing larvae on the way then once you reach the right wall excavate all the soil above you so you can snot swing to the left. Head right and kill any ants then bury there hole. Now jump up to the platform with the Psy-Crow Statue and quickly destroy it. Snott swing to the right from the mucus Now continue through the level destroying any statues on the way till you get to a Continue point. Head up collecting the Stopwatch on the way. Now from the right wall drill diagonally left pivoting a bit until the platform is cleared. Then jump up to the cleared platform and drill diagonally to the right again pivoting a little bit to clear the platform. Then jump up to the platform you just cleared and drill directly up, killing the larvae in the process. The distinguish the flame ahead. Now you will have to dig a very low tunnel, to do this hold left and tap Y just a little faster then once a second. You should dig a tunnel that just misses the chambers of ants and larvae above you. Now after you break through collect the Stopwatch and jump down and parachute to the left collecting Suit Power atoms on the way. Now dig a low tunnel to the right using the process stated before. Once you break through head right and collect the Stopwatch and the Earth Flag while destroying the larvae. Now jump up to the mouth of your last tunnel and drill diagonally left until you clear the platform above. Now jump up on the platform you cleared and drill directly up killing larvae in the process, then jump up and walkright setting off a swirl of light, then from this platform drill diagonally left until you clear the next platform then jump up on it. Now stand in the middle of the platform and clear all the soil directly above you, then stand on the right edge of this platform and drill diagonally left. Then climb up to the platform shaped like this '¯¯ . Now from that platform drill diagonally right until you clear the platform then jump up.

A Button- Makes Jim dive for puppies. B Button- Makes Jim face the other direction. In this level Psy-Crow has kidnapped all 600 of Peter's Puppies and he is flinging him out of an abandoned house. To save them from hitting the pavement in a yellowy mess you have to bounce them with a giant marshmallow across a courtyard to Peter's House. Puppy Love is featured three times in this game, each time getting progressively harder. It is sandwiched between Lorenzen's Soil & Villi People, The Flyin'King & Udderly Abducted and between ISO 9000 & Level Ate. If you drop enough puppies and the expendable puppy limit in the corner says 0, Peter is gonna put a can of whipass on you. This level is split into 4 Rounds, to finish a round you have to bounce a bomb thrown by Psy-Crow into the funnel then Peter will get it out and throw it at Psy-Crow. Psy-Crow will also toss Flags, Extra Lives & Can O' Worms if you get them in the funnel they will be counted as being collected. **************************************** V I L L I P E O P L E **************************************** Control Pad- ·Moves "Blind Sally" around. ·While shooting it aims the Blaster.

Shoot the little bluish sheep thingies from a distance because the explosion can hurt you. Collect at least 9 Meal Worms on the way to the Game Show. you can get Extra Lives and a Can O' Worms. After the first Continue point if you see a swirl of light backtrack. At the 1st split in the road if you go the Hard way you will get 4 Meal Worms If you go the Easy way you will bypass the Hard section. (dah!) At the 2nd split in the path the Hard way has twice as much Suit Power to collect on the way but it is harder. Since you collected at least 9 lives if use the answers below you will get: 200% Suit Power, 3×Ammo Refills, a Meal Worm, Chip Butty, 2×Extra Lives and a Can O' Worms. For "Repeat the Sequence", I'd have a pen and paper ready to jot down the sequence, repeat the sequence all 12 bumps of it and you will get a Suit Power atom, a Chip Butty, a Extra Life & a Can O' Worms. _________________ |Game Show Answers| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ How does Jim spell his first name?

Military, Products

According to Dr. Andrew Black, director and head of analysis at Hawk Intelligence Source Management, Russian manufacturers will produce the largest number of heavy helicopters between 2013 and 2022, followed by Sikorsky, Boeing and NH Industries. Black also warned that established western companies' market share could also come under threat from new entrants to the world market, including India's Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) and China's AVIC, with the light military sector providing them with early opportunities.
In a mildly pessimistic presentation on the outlook for the rotorcraft sector – upcoming opportunities and challenges – Black also told Helitech International 2013 conference attendees that the light civil aircraft sector has the brightest prospects over the 10-year forecast period, followed by the military medium/heavy sector, although even this will be weaker as the wars in south west Asia wind down. Demand for medium/heavy aircraft in the civil sector will continue to be affected by the recession, he said.
However, the industry panel took issue with some of these generalizations. Roberto Garavaglia, AgustaWestland's senior vice president for strategy and business development, argued that the company's more detailed model showed that the rapid change in the oil and gas support business, for example, with rigs moving up to 300 nm offshore, would drive the market for more capable aircraft.
Bell's director of marketing and sales support, Chuck Evans, argued that the need to replace 10,000 to 12,000 first generation five-seat turbine helicopters is a big opportunity for its new Short Light Single (SLS).
Eurocopter UK's managing director, Markus Steinke, said that the helicopter market today is where the fixed-wing market was 50 years ago, focused on special missions and the rich.
Alluding to the development of hybrids, he said that helicopters of the future will be fundamentally different mass market aircraft. "Beyond that 10-year outlook, you will all be surprised."

Superstar Nora Aunor will be working together with Coco Martin and Julia Montes in the upcoming film Padre de Familia (Padre de Pamilya). The movie, which is being shot on location in Malaysia, is directed by Adolf Alix Jr.
In Padre de Familia, Nora Aunor will be playing the troubled matriarch Aida while Coco Martin will be his son Noel who only wants the best for their family. Julia Montes is Pia who will have a big role in Noel's life.
Padre de Pamilya will be the first time that Nora Aunor will be working with both Coco and Julia while the latter tandem has already topbilled their movie A Moment In Time last year.
Aside from Coco, Julia and Nora, the movie, features a dream cast of powerhouse actors including Rosanna Roces, Baron Geisler, Joel Torre, Joem Bascon, Miles Ocampo, Manuel Chua, Paolo Diangson and Ms. Anita Linda.
"PADRE DE FAMILIA. Sino nga ba ang tumatayong haligi ng tahanan? Ang mapagparayang ina o ang anak na nagtataguyod ng lahat? Sa isang bihirang pagkakataon, magsasama ang dalawa sa pinakamahusay na artista ng kanilang henerasyon-si Coco Martin at ang nag-iisang Superstar Ms. Nora Aunor. Ngayong 2014," Direk Adolf shared in his Facebook page giving a background of the movie.
Based on the screenplay of Ralston Jover, Nikki Bunquin & Jerry Gracio, Padre de Familia is one gigantic movie you shouldn't miss this 2014.
