What does the spleen do anyway?
The spleen, located in the upper-left part of your abdominal
cavity, is one of those organs we don't often think about,
but it's actually a pretty integral part of your immune
system. The spleen filters out foreign organisms that infect
your blood, removes old or damaged platelets and red blood
cells, and forms some types of white blood cells. It also
stores extra blood and releases it as it's needed.
Nevertheless, it's not a vital organ, and about one percent
of the population is spleen-less. When the spleen is
removed, the liver takes over some of its duties. You might
be less resistant to infection for awhile, but you'll live.
Where do we get the expression to "vent one's spleen"?
To vent one's spleen means to let go of your anger, to rant
and rave and get it all out. In ancient times, people
believed the spleen was the seat of the emotions. Now we
accord that honor to the heart.

'Iraq al-Qaeda' make kidnap call
The leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, has
called for kidnapping of Westerners, according to a
recording issued on the internet.
"I call on every holy fighter in Iraq to strive to capture
some dogs of the Christians so that we can liberate our
imprisoned sheikh," the tape says.
It is a reference to Egyptian cleric Omar Abdul Rahman, held
in the US over the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Issued on Islamist websites, the tape's authenticity could
not be verified.
It appears to have been issued to mark the beginning of the
Islamic holy month of Ramadan, normally a time for prayer
and fasting.
"I congratulate the Muslim nation on the occasion of the
holy month of Ramadan, the month of jihad (holy war).
"I ask God to make it a month for honour and victory for
Muslims," the voice says.
It also discloses for the first time the number of non-Iraqi
insurgents said to have been killed fighting US-led forces
in Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
"More than 4,000 emigres and many more of the supporters of
righteousness [Iraqi insurgents] have given their blood to
Iraq," the speaker says.
Beginning in the spring of 2004, the group under the
leadership of the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi staged a string
of high-profile kidnappings.
Some of the foreign hostages were beheaded, with the images
posted on the internet in video footage attributed to
Zarqawi's group.
The wave of abductions caused many foreigners to leave Iraq
or live under the protection of armed bodyguards in heavily
fortified compounds.
Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also known as Ayyub al-Masri, was
identified by US forces as Zarqawi's successor after they
killed him in a raid in June 2006.

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -

Anaphylaxis: A Medical Emergency
PART 10 of 11
A vasovagal reaction is sometimes confused or mistaken
for an anaphylactic reaction. Again, nurses are trained
to recognize the difference. And again, it takes
practice and speed to do this. Basically it is a
reaction to the procedure rather than the chemical
“stirring up” of the ingredients of the “intruder” I am
sure you have heard of people fainting at the sight of
needles or blood. Some faint when the needle is
actually put into their body. It happens within the
first few minutes after the injection. Although this
too is an unwanted reaction, it is much more “welcome”
by a health care provider than an anaphylactic
reaction. In giving flu shots, nurses experience this
one more frequently and deal with it in a much more
“relaxed” manner. I recall a very busy evening flu
clinic in a huge warehouse. There was a lot of
goofiness going on and no one was really being serious
about the injections. Suddenly I heard loud crash. “My
last injection” had passed out and was caught between
two chairs. He was very large. It took some maneuvering
to get him on to the floor. (I always make my patients
sit down for the injection and for a couple of minutes
after it.) We ended the evening in a very subdued
manner. One more short story. If you instinctively know
you don’t want this injection, don’t have it. I had a
grandfather who passed out three times in ten minutes
(from one injection!). His granddaughter had challenged
him to a flu shot! He didn’t want to tell her that
while in the army, he passed out each time he was given
an injection. Eventually they gave him only when he lay
down! He didn’t want her to find out he was a sissy!
Pride goeth before a fall, and in this case, three
falls. Use some common sense.
What is the difference between these situations? In a
vasovagal reaction, the person looses momentary
consciousness, or just feels very faint (lightheaded).
Their pulse is weak and they are often cool to the
touch. Here is a good site to learn more.
http://www.hrspatients.org/patients/signs_symptoms/
fainting/default.asp
We put cool, moist cloths on people’s foreheads or the
back of their necks. We get them to take deep breaths.
This usually lasts a few minutes and the person is
fine. Always, the nurse will take a respiration, pulse,
and blood pressure reading. These are excellent
indicators of their state of health at that moment.

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
The News Doesn't Change Much But The Trend
Is Showing Conditions Becoming Worse
One of the difficulties in writing a column like this based
on the news is that the news doesn't change much. Oh,
different and independent articles cover different things
that happen all over the globe, but the overall tone, the
overall message, the overall thrust is the same from day to
day.
There are some who say that times in the 50's were much more
peaceful. There are others who say "Yeah, but today we have
television and the story is on the air within hours of it
happening, maybe minutes." That is not the reason the world
is at war, full or unrest and fearful. The reason the world
is at war, full of unrest and fearful is because it is.
People have changed. Technology has allowed people to do new
and different things. We are not fearful because we get the
news. The 1950's, in spite of the cold war and the Korean
war, were more peaceful than the world today.
It is a truth that the effect of seeing all this stuff on TV
does make us more unsettled, fearful, untrusting. But
broadcasting the news on TV does not in and of itself create
the condition on which it reports.
The only thing one must always keep in mind is that there is
no mandate that any broadcaster or journalist must tell the
truth. That is a well known principle in American
journalism. So pick your sources carefully.
One other thing about the 50's. If we use that decade as the
"base" decade we find that the world's woes, that is to say
wars, terrorism, fear, have accelerated and grown at an
enormous rate. That may not be too bad, except there is no
reason to believe it will stop. There is nothing on the
horizon that allows me to think the condition will do
anything except become worse.
Mother Nature will step in pretty quick and begin leveling
the playing field. There will be natural disasters that will
eliminate much of the population and cause our "mentality"
to change or our fundamental philosophies to change. Then we
will consider peace and most of us will become peaceful
people. That is why I speak of peace now. It is vitally
important to your's, your children's future. And the
choice is yours right now.
Peace is a personal responsibility. It will not come to
governments until the people are peaceful and then peaceful
people, getting elected, can begin to make peace happen. It
starts with YOU. It is your choice. That is why I recommend
you read The Saga Of Pinehill Books I and II. There you will
find the way to peace and prosperity.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Landlubber: How did the "landlubber" get that name?
The "Lubber" is not, as so many suppose, from "lover," but
from the Danish lobbes, meaning a "clown" or "bumpkin". So
the term means any person who lives on land and acts
inexperienced or awkward aboard ship.

HA! HA! HA!
A Scout Master was teaching his boy scouts about survival in
the desert.
"What are the three most important things you should bring
with you in case you get lost in the desert?" he asked.
Several hands went up, and many important things were
suggested such as food, matches, etc.
Then one little boy in the back eagerly raised his hand.
"Yes Timmy, what are the three most important things you
would bring with you?" asked the Scout Master.
Timmy replied: "A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of
cards."
"Why is that Timmy?"
"Well," answered Timmy, "the compass is to find the right
direction, the water is to prevent dehydration."
"And what about the deck of cards?" asked the Scout Master
impatiently.
"Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, some
jerk is bound to come up behind you and say, "Put that red
nine on top of that black ten!"
