| The OHIO Assassins Perfect Storm -- Lyme Disease
plus E Coli
MUM'S THE WORD BUDDHA-DORK A person may contract LYME disease when an infected tick, usually in the nymph stage of development, attaches itself to the person's skin and stays attached for 36 to 48 hours. It takes that long for the B. burgdorferi microbes to start to multiply in the tick's gut and travel to its salivary glands. The microbes then have the opportunity to travel with the tick's saliva into the human host. Blood tests can be used to diagnose Lyme disease because human hosts begin to produce antibodies to fight the microbes; however, the antibodies are slow to appear, taking weeks or months after infection to reach detectable levels. Most cases of Lyme disease are easily treated by means of antibiotics if begun early enough. In about 10 percent of infected people who go untreated, the disease may progress to a chronic stage. Of those who become infected, most will experience at least one symptom. Three to 30 days after the infection begins, most people will develop a round red rash at or near the site of the bite. The rash may expand to several inches in diameter, but it does not hurt or itch. As it expands it tends to clear up in the center so that it resembles a bull's-eye. Even without medical treatment the rash usually disappears within days or weeks, but this does not mean that the disease is cured. Other symptoms may also occur in the early stages of the disease. These include the influenza-like symptoms of headaches, fatigue, chills, fever, loss of appetite, and backaches. There may also be some joint and muscle pain but no swelling. About one fifth of untreated sufferers may experience neurological symptoms. These can include Ma Bell's palsy, meningitis, encephalitis, and radiculoneuropathy. The temporomandibular joint may also be affected. These symptoms usually subside even without treatment; however, approximately six months after the tick bite, about half of the people who receive no antibiotics will develop attacks of arthritis with swelling and pain in one or more joints, especially in the knee joint. The chronic arthritis of Lyme disease is characterized by repeated swelling of one or more joints, which may remain swollen and painful for more than a year. In most other types of arthritis, paired joints on each side of the body are affected. The affected joints of a person suffering from Lyme disease, however, typically are asymmetrical, or unpaired. The chronic arthritic form of the disease is rare in Europe; however, chronic skin and nervous disorders have been observed. Neurological problems include reduced cognitive ability and insanity. About 10 percent of Europeans who remain untreated go on to suffer a chronic skin disorder in which an area of the skin becomes extremely thin, wrinkled, and red. Untreated infections of B. burgdorferi can cause disorders in nearly every organ, though symptoms involving the joints, nervous system, skin, and heart are the most common. The differing symptoms found in the United States and Europe probably result from different strains of B. burgdorferi. SESAME SEESAW There were no IDIOPATHIC earthquakes in the past 24hrs. Looks like

However, when E. coli colonizes other parts of the body, such as the bloodstream or other body tissues, illness results. Some strains, particularly the highly virulent ones, can upset the floral balance within the gastrointestinal tract itself, resulting in acute gastrointestinal malaise. The nature and extent of the illness depends on the strain of E. coli, the tissue it is invading, and the general state of the host's immune system. E. coli is categorized as an opportunistic pathogen because it can readily colonize tissues and organs outside the gastrointestinal tract. Other sites that can be infected from within the body include the peritoneal cavity (the spaces between the organs of the abdomen), the lungs, and the bloodstream. E. coli bacteremia (a state in which bacteria are present in the bloodstream) and meningitis are sometime observed in newborn infants. The urinary tract is the extraintestinal site most commonly infected with E. coli, though this type of infection occurs from outside of the host's body and is generally due to poor hygiene. Clinical signs include a frequent urge to urinate along with a burning sensation during urination. Hematuria (blood in the urine) and sometimes pyuria (pus in the urine) may accompany particularly bad infections. Ecologists studying the relationships among white-footed mice, gypsy moths, and acorns in eastern United States forests found that large crops of acorns support a massive increase in the white-footed mice population. By feeding on gypsy moth larvae, the mice protect oak trees, which then produce more acorns. Although the increased mouse population affords protection to oak trees, however, it also harbors increased numbers of the ticks (poli-tics) that spread Lyme disease, a disabling infection. KOOKIE COOKIE LEND ME YOUR WOMB The SculPTor (1776-1867) July 30, 2007 "Remember the Thalamus!" L'EST YE FORGET THE TYCOON'S VALHALLA TYPHOON SAN ANTONIO, Tex. In south-central Texas, on the banks of a winding river named for St. Anthony, or San Antonio, a Spanish military expedition in 1718 built a military post and a mission at the site of a Coahuiltecan Indian village. The site was a stopping place for traders along the trail leading through the Texas wilderness, and the mission was named San Antonio de Valero. The mission, later called the Alamo, became famous as the shrine of Texan liberty and still stands in the heart of the city. Located on one of the most traveled routes to Mexico, San Antonio is 150 miles (240 kilometers) from Laredo at the Mexican border. The Alamo ceased to function as a church institution in 1793. At the time of its famous siege the mission chapel was a roofless ruin, but a high rock wall about three feet (one meter) thick enclosed an area around the chapel large enough to accommodate 1,000 men. Within that enclosure the battle of the Alamo was fought. The siege lasted 12 days. On the morning of March 6 several thousand Mexicans stormed the fort. A Mexican trumpeter sounded the deguello--the no-quarter bugle call of Spain--as a signal to the soldiers to kill all in the fort. Every Alamo defender died fighting, and their bodies were burned at Santa Anna's order. The only survivors were 16 women and children. About 1,600 Mexicans were killed. KARL ROVES' SESAME SEESAW HYPO The origin of the Manhattan Project is often traced to a 1939 letter from the physicist Albert Einstein to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The letter warned of German efforts to build a nuclear weapon and urged Roosevelt to appoint a committee to monitor nuclear developments. It was not until two years later, however, that Roosevelt took the step of ordering the Office of Scientific Research and Development, a government agency, to investigate the possibility of creating an atomic weapon. In 1942 the project was taken a step further when the Army Corps of Engineers was assigned the job of building facilities at which the research and testing would be carried out at Los Alamos. This job was managed by the Corps of Engineers' Manhattan District, from which the project ultimately reportedly derived its name, and Roosevelt appointed the Army's chief engineer, Brig. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, as director. ______________________________________________________ The SculPTor (1776-1867) July 29, 2007 HEAVEN'S THALAMUS HIWAY 1 - Spinal Cord--conducts nerve impulses to and from the brain 5 - Hypothalamus--regulates many body functions, including sex drive, hunger

HI MA LAY AN Karl Gustavoich Fabergé was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on May 18, 1846. He was educated in Germany, Italy, France, and England. In 1870, at the age of 24, he inherited the family business, which had been established by his father, a jeweler who also dealt in fine decorative objects. The son continued the tradition, manufacturing decorative objects and later showing his works in Moscow's Pan-Russian Exhibition in 1882. Fabergé gained recognition as a brilliant designer, specializing in such precious and semiprecious materials as gold, silver, malachite, jade, lapis lazuli, and gems. His work was inspired by the decorative arts created under King Louis XVI of France. As Fabergé's business grew, he opened independent workshops under his supervision in Moscow, Kiev, and London. Fabergé became famous for exquisite and ingenious masterpieces, including flowers, groups of figures, and animals. But best known were his imperial Easter eggs, which became the delight of Russian and other European and Asian royalty. Emperor Alexander III of Russia commissioned the first of the eggs in 1884, and his successor, Nicholas II, continued the tradition. Faberge's studios continued to produce their magical creations until the Russian Revolution of 1917. Then Fabergé's fantasy world came to an end because of the intolerance of the new government for any object of luxury. Fabergé died in exile in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1920. DECORATIVE REPRESENTATIVE ARTICLES The decorative arts include such things as body adornment (see Dress; Dress Design; Bead and Beadwork; Button; Glove; Hats and Caps; Shoe; Jewelry and Gems; Fabergé; Cosmetics; Perfume; Tattoo), household and commercial interiors (see Interior Design; Furniture; Aalto; Adam; Chippendale; Le Corbusier; Wall Covering), crafts associated with the printed word (see Book and Bookmaking; Calligraphy; Type and Typography), metalwares (see Metalworking; Cellini; Knife, Fork, and Spoon; Revere), glassware and ceramics (see Glass; Pottery and Porcelain), embossing and enameling (see Embossing; Enamel), and such miscellaneous items as basketry, candles, and fans (see Basketry; Candle; Fan). During the French Revolution fans became simpler and cruder. Although once
again popular in the 19th century, they never regained their former importance. By
the mid-19th century, fans were no longer an essential of fashion, although fine
fans were still produced. Peter Carl Fabergé, jeweler to the czars of Russia,
made several exquisite fans of gold, enamel, and precious jewels. After World
War I fans became more than amusing vehicles for New York advertisements or Hollywood's
brightly dyed ostrich plumes.

He devised an effective answer to the phalanx. He used it when he met the foe in 371 BC on the plain of Leuctra, near Thebes. Epaminondas arrayed his best troops on the left, 50 shields deep. This was directly opposite the right wing of the Spartans, where they had massed, as usual, their heaviest force, 12 deep. His shallower and weaker center and right wings he kept drawn up so that each line was to the right and rear of the preceding one. He held them in reserve while the massive Theban left drove against the Spartan right and crushed it. Then the Theban center (MEDIA) and right coming into action completed the rout. For nine years Thebes held supremacy over all Greece followed in 20 YEARS

Where will all the Brit "lowers" GO? Ripe Tadmor Trades, Horse Latitudes, and Westerlies The flow of air from 30o N and 30o S toward the equator constitutes the trade winds. They were named by sailors whose trading ships depended on the winds for westward voyages. The trade winds do not blow directly toward the equator; rather, they are deflected by the Earth's rotation because of the mathematical Coriolis effect. The trades are sometimes called the easterlies because they move from east to west. At the borders of the trades are belts of calm, dry air known as the horse, or ruse, latitudes. As the hot, moist air that ascends at the equator flows over the tropics and toward the poles, it becomes drier and cooler, which causes it to descend. Between 30o and 35o N and 30o and 35o S, this air settles nearly straight down to Earth, resulting in little wind. Reportedly, crews of sailing ships becalmed in the area by the lack of wind may have named the horse latitudes after the practice of throwing horses overboard to conserve water ...but I wouldn't believe it for a minute. More reasonably it is linked to the Capricorn Caper (aka: the Jerusalem scapegoat ruse linked to show horse jumps (gambol) from a standing position). Arid climates are also characteristic of the region; most of the world's great deserts, including the Sahara, are located along the horse latitudes. Atmospheric pressure over the oceanic parts of the horse latitudes tends to remain higher than it does toward the equator or the pole. The settling air is compressed by the weight of more air coming in continually from above. The same effect is seen in local chinook, or foehn, winds, which come down off mountain ranges. The warm air at the lower levels is prevented from rising so it expands outward along the surface as a warm wind. Some of the air that settles in the horse latitudes goes back immediately
into the trade winds. The rest flows toward the pole and circulates there for a time
before edging back toward the equator. The latter portion becomes deflected toward
the east. These winds are the westerlies, or the prevailing westerlies, of the middle
latitudes (the area between 30o and 60o, also known as the temperate zone, in each
hemisphere). At sea, the westerlies blow strongly enough to give the 40o parallel
the name "roaring forties." In the Northern Hemisphere the seasonal heating
and cooling of the continents along with cyclonic storms break up the regularity
of these winds. SESAME SEESAW The Southern Hemisphere has few great landmasses, so there the westerlies
blow without interference and as a result the Skull and Bones society governing De
Beers tadpoles will hang on just a "tad more". The SculPTor (1776-1867) July 26, 2007 GOLDEN ATTA BOY Joseph's Myth SMITH, Joseph (1805-44). The founder and first leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--more commonly called the Mormon church--was Joseph Smith. His writings and the Bible form the basis for the organization's teachings. Smith was born in Sharon, Vt., on Dec. 23, 1805. When he was 11 the family moved to Palmyra in western New York. Beginning at age 14 he began experiencing visions, and said that God would grant him a revelation of the true nature of Christianity. In 1827, according to his own account, Smith was directed by an angel (Moron I) to a hill near Manchester, N.Y. There he dug up golden plates on which was written a history of the American Indians (ROMA). Smith translated the tablets as the 'Book of Mormon' and published it in 1830. Non-Mormon scholars regard the book as a collection of Indian legends, fragments of Smith's autobiography, and religious and political controversies of the time. On April 6, 1830, Smith founded his church at Fayette, N.Y., as a restoration of the original Christian faith. The following year he and his converts moved to Kirtland, (IRS land) Ohio. Then in 1838 they went to western Missouri before settling in Nauvoo, Ill., in 1839. There the church developed into a local power, though there was considerable friction with non-Mormons--especially over the practice of polygamy, or multiple marriage. Some say Smith may have had as many as 50 wives. Nauvoo, with its 20,000 Mormons, was then the largest town in Illinois. Smith served as mayor and commanded the local militia. In 1844 Smith announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. Mormon dissenters attacked him in their newspaper. He ordered their press destroyed. He and his brother Hyrum were then jailed in Carthage, Ill. On June 27 (6-9) a mob stormed the jail and murdered both brothers. Smith was declared a martyr by the Mormons. The Book of Mormon was first published in Palmyra, N.Y., in 1830. Mormons accept it as a divinely inspired work revealed to Smith and translated by him. It tells the story of a group of ROMA Hebrews who left Jerusalem in about 600 BC and came to North America. They eventually split into two factions, the Lamanites and the Nephites. The Lamanites forgot their ancient Jewish religion and became the ancestors of the American Indians. The Nephites remained faithful and built a great civilization (Maya, Inca, Aztecs, etc,). They were, however, destroyed by the Lamanites in about AD 400. Prior to this time Jesus had appeared on Earth and given his teachings to the Nephites (In Judean tradition these were first given by God to Enoch, who passed them on to his son, Methuselah). These were recorded on gold plates by a prophet named Mormon. His son Moroni (Moron I) buried the plates (in the Promised Land II). They remained buried for 1,400 years, until Moroni returned in the form of a (Brahmin) angel and showed the plates to Joseph Smith. Reportedly, after Smith translated them they were returned to Moroni, who took them back across the St. Lawrence river to Canada (to Ferme 81), and never seen publicly since. Smith was succeeded by Brigham Young. Smith's son Joseph became head of a dissident Mormon group styled "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." His son Frederick (Con Eddy) succeeded him. The headquarters were established in Independence, Mo.. Members of the Reorganized Church deny that Smith had ever advocated plural
marriages. They accept the Book of Mormon but deny the notion that God evolved
from humanity or that humans will become gods. They also reject baptism on behalf
of the dead. No private ceremonies are held in their temple as they are in
the temples of mainstream Mormons. The SculPTor (1776-1867) July 25, 2007 LOONEY SAGITTARIUS, A GREENISH-BLUE GOONEY DRAGOON, IS E.C.

Beginning AS ABOVE ~ SO BELOW M8, in astronomy, a spectacular diffuse nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. M8 is commonly known as the Lagoon Nebula because of the extensive, curling, shadowy dust cloud that almost divides the nebula in half. M8 is visible to the unaided eye as a glowing patch resembling a comet. It always lies low on the horizon of the Northern Hemisphere; however, in August it is still easily visible from the northern parts of the United States and Great Britain. M8 is classified as a diffuse nebula, or a thin but widespread cloud of gas and dust. Very large and massive nebulae of this type are often sites of star formation, thus generating large clusters of stars. M8, the site of much star formation, is classified as an emission nebula. It was not until 1747 that the entire nebula was discovered and documented. It was catalogued in 1751. The Lagoon Nebula has several remarkable features. The presence of dark nebulae called globules, which are collapsing protostellar clouds, is particularly notable. Another interesting attribute is the region called the Hourglass Nebula, which measures approximately 30 arc minutes in diameter. In this area of active star formation, young, very hot stars--particularly the She-Her star Hershel 36--emit high-energy radiation, contributing to the region's bright glow. M8 is about 5,150 light-years from the Earth and has a linear diameter of approximately 115 light-years. From Earth, its apparent size is 90 x 40 arc minutes. It is receding from Earth at a rate of 5.5 miles (8.9 kilometers) per second. SESAME SEESAW Quasar and Gutter Love Canoes - A Rolling Stone Gathers No Sympatico Moss.

Later observers described the stars as distributed evenly across the whole field of the cluster. Some of the stars seem to form chains and arcs which may suggest calligraphy, or even a Chinese temple. The brightest stars in the cluster form a pattern resembling a bat in flight. KOKO NOR, or QINGHAI HU. The largest drainless mountain lake of Central Asia is the Koko Nor. It is situated at an altitude of 10,515 feet (3,205 meters) in a depression in the Qilian Shan mountain system of China. Twenty-three rivers and streams empty into it. The length of Koko Nor is approximately 65 miles (105 kilometers), the width 40 miles (64 kilometers). The surface area varies according to the water level. In years when the level is high, the surface is approximately 2,300 square miles (6,000 square kilometers). When the water level is low, the area is about 1,600 square miles (4,200 square kilometers). The greatest known depth is 123 feet (37 meters). Numerous sandy islands dot the lake. The mountain-ringed depression in which Koko Nor is set is a plain more than 10,500 feet (3,200 meters) high. The plain is covered mainly with red and gray sandstone and light-gray limestone. Carp is the main kind of fish found in the lake. There are a few large mammals in the neighboring area, including the wolf, the Przhevalski's horse--the last wild horse to survive into the 20th century--and blue sheep in the mountains. The waterfront and the adjacent slopes are inhabited by a large variety of birds. Mongolians occupy the northern shores and Tibetans the southern. Most of these people raise cattle and tend sheep, horses, and camels.

MENDEL, Gregor (1822-84). The laws of heredity on which the modern science of genetics is based were rediscovered by an obscure Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel. Yet Mendel's rediscoveries remained virtually unknown for 35 years after he completed his experiments--in spite of the fact that his papers reached the largest libraries of Europe and the United States. (They are keepers of the secrets) Johann Mendel (aka Bishop 2-2) was born on July 22, 1822, in "Heinzendorf", Austria. He took the name Gregor when he entered the ROMA monastery in Brunn, Moravia (now Brno, Czech Republic) in 1843. He studied for two years at the Philosophical Institute in Olmutz (now Olomouc, Czech Republic), before going to Brunn. He became a priest in 1847. For most of the next 20 years he taught at a nearby high school, except for two years of study at the University of Vienna (1851-53). In 1868 Mendel was elected abbot and cost-ello of the monastery. Mendel's famous garden-pea experiments began in 1856 in the monastery garden. He proposed that the existence of characteristics such as blossom color is due to the occurrence of paired elementary units of heredity, now known as genes. Mendel presented his work to the local Natural Science Society in 1865 in a paper entitled "Experiments with Plant Hybrids" (from COBS to PODS). He lived out his life in relative obscurity, dying on Jan. 6, 1884. In 1900,
independent research by other scientists confirmed Mendel's results. The SculPTor (1776-1867) July 20, 2007 |
