Precarious World - Steve Quayle - Coast to Coast AM Classic
http://www.jetnews.us Date: 01-06-11 Host: George Noory Guests: Steve Quayle Author and researcher Steve Quayle riffed on a variety of topics such as giants, weather modification, secret aircraft, biblical prophecy, genetic engineering, the Illuminati agenda, and Planet X. The machinery to affect weather has gotten smaller and cheaper over the years, and there are currently 72 ionospheric heaters, in addition climate-controlling technology like Project HAARP, he outlined. Sightings of silent triangular-shaped craft are on the rise, and a battle in outer space is imminent, said Quayle, naming "extra-dimensionals" and black-ops as some of the participants. The "super-soldier" program, Stargate technology, and CERN are involved in efforts to re-animate ancient giants, who were some 12-18 ft. height, he declared. "We are experiencing now the full implementation, in my opinion, of the Luciferian war on humanity. We talk about the New World Order, the Illuminati, the International League, but what is the prime directive of all those entities? It #39;s the destruction of a five and half billion people," he cautioned. Quayle reported his recent conversation with a "high ranking Goldman Sachs official" who #39;d visited one of the elite #39;s underground cities that was being prepared. The official warned him that a "global flu" had already been determined, and a mandatory vaccination will be required, with those who refuse to take it being sent to FEMA camps.

New Rochelle, NY, November 13, 2012Following an infection, dysregulation of the immune system can result in a systemic inflammatory response and an often fatal condition called severe sepsis or septic shock. Sepsis is not uncommon, yet its cause and underlying immune dysfunction remain poorly understood. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), a component of the immune system, now appear to have an important role in suppressing the immune response in advance of sepsis, and understanding this role may lead to new therapeutic strategies for improving patient outcomes, as described in a review article in Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, a peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free online on the Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research website.

Li-Na Jiang, Yong-Ming Yao, and Zhi-Yong Sheng, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, and Hebei North University, Zhyangjiakou, China, review the growing body of literature supporting a link between alterations in Treg function and the development of sepsis, based on animal studies and preliminary human studies. In the article "The Role of Regulatory T Cells in the Pathogenesis of Sepsis and Its Clinical Implications (http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/jir.2011.0080)," the authors suggest that accumulating experimental and clinical evidence indicates that manipulating Tregs may offer a promising strategy for treating patients with septic shock.

"Regulatory T cells are receiving much attention as important determinants of both beneficial and detrimental immune responses," says Co-Editor-in-Chief Thomas A. Hamilton, PhD, Chairman, Department of Immunology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation. "This review brings focus to the function of this important cell population in the context of sepsis, a condition more frequently associated with innate immunity."

Are we closer to understanding the cause of deadly sepsis?

Amarillo, TX - New research at WTAMU is putting the school at the forefront of genetic engineering.

Scientists at WT are celebrating the successful birth of a cloned calf - their second this year. And these two recent successes represent major strides toward improving stock lines, and ultimately, our food supply.

The word "cloning" tends to make many people uneasy, but in this sense, "cloning" is really just an expedited form of selective breeding.

"Alpha," a young bull, and "Gamma," a days-old heifer, were recently born using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer. In simplest terms, that means putting a reprogrammed cell into a surrogate mother. The idea is that by systematically improving the gene pool, you can create better and stronger breeds, as WTAMU Associate Professor of Animal Science Dr. Ty Lawrence explains,

"We hope to create a new breed of cattle that currently does not exist. And this new breed of cattle will be a piece of the best of the best of the best from all existing breeds and their crosses."

By isolating the most desirable traits, researchers can create higher-yield cattle more resistant to drought and disease, as veterinarian Dr. Greg Veneklasen says,

"It's not just about meat; this is about genetic disease, this is about infectious disease. This is a model that we've created that we can use ... we can use this model for many different things."

And each new model is a step closer toward creating the ideal food animal.

Alpha and Gamma, for instance, are both Yield Grade One Prime beef, which represents about one in 15,000 cattle.

And advances like these are putting WTAMU on the map, as Dr. Don Topliff says,

New Rochelle, NY, November 15, 2012Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the cause of infectious mononucleosis and a risk for serious disease in liver transplant recipients. Molecular tests that can identify early protein markers produced by EBV may have value for diagnosing active infection. The benefits of this diagnostic approach in patients with mononucleosis and in EBV-infected transplant patients are evaluated in an article published in BioResearch Open Access, a bimonthly peer-reviewed open access journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the BioResearch Open Access website.

Andrea Crowley, Jeff Connell, Kirsten Schaffer, William Halla, and Jaythoon Hassan, University College Dublin and St. Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland, compared three immunoassay methods for detecting antibodies produced by the body in response to EBV infection and the presence of proteins that comprise the EBV early antigen complex. The researchers determined which of the diagnostic tests could better predict EBV infection in patients with mononucleosis or in immunosuppressed adult liver transplant recipients. The article "Is There Diagnostic Value in Detection of Immunoglobulin G Antibodies to the EpsteinBarr Virus Early Antigen?" presents the complete methodology and results of this study.

"Having the ability to predict the risk of developing EBV-induced lymphoproliferative disorders after a transplant has important consequences for patient care, as it would allow for prompt therapy and could potentially decrease patient mortality," says Editor-in-Chief Jane Taylor, PhD, MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
