From the Washington Post
At least 19 people in three Midwestern states have contracted a disease related to smallpox, marking the first outbreak of the life-threatening illness in the United States, federal heath officials said yesterday....
The disease, known as monkeypox, usually only occurs in central and western Africa. It is caused by a virus known as an orthopox virus, which is the family of viruses that includes the smallpox virus, one of the most dangerous diseases known to man and a feared biological weapon....
While much about the monkeypox virus is unclear, it does not seem to be as deadly as smallpox. Authorities estimate that monkeypox has a mortality rate of between 1 percent and 10 percent, compared with a mortality rate of about 30 percent for smallpox.
The monkeypox virus is believed to spread through physical contact with a sick person or infected animal, or through infected body fluids, although health officials said it apparently is not as easily spread as smallpox, which is highly infectious.

The floating island: a moden adventure with pykrete:
In late 1942, Lord Louis Mountbatten - the British military's Chief of Combined Operations - paid a visit to Winston Churchill at his official country home, Chequers. Mountbatten had with him a small parcel of great importance. A member of Churchill's staff apologized that the Prime Minister was at that moment in his bath.
"Good," said Mountbatten as he bounded up the stairs. "That's exactly where I want him to be." Mountbatten entered the steaming bathroom to find Churchill in the tub. It was generally not a wise thing to interrupt Sir Winston in his bathtub.
"I have," Mountbatten explained, "a block of a new material that I would like to put in your bath."
3 Farms Festival on the East River. I think MB is involved? Our pal Samoa is playing, and I'm interested in David Johanson's folk act, the Harry Smiths. It ain't Jazzfest, but could be a good time.
Nice pictures of the baby Red-tailed Hawks on Fifth Avenue, posted on Marie Winn's page. She's the author of Red-tails in Love as well as The Plug-In Drug and translations from the Czech, including Vaclav Havel.

The NY Post has a package of iPod stories dominating the entertainment section today. No news, but this sort of buzz must make Apple happy. Fittingly, the online paper doesn't include the hardcopy's "opinion" piece by pseudo-reactionary fop Jared Paul Stern, wherein he rails about geeks losing touch with the "real world". He's also found out about "something vaguely disgusting sounding called 'blogging'", which he identifies with "self-absorbed, gibbering baboons who obviously never leave the confines of their Dumbo studios." He does like gawker though, perhaps because, like him, they proudly wallow in their own snarkyness. (How's that for an ugly word, or is it snarkiness?) Anyway, it's the sort of criticism that's only leveled at success.

Meme this!
My goal with "Dr. P's Words ..." is to create an exo-toxic meme. As a personality, he's a bit inside the beltway, but breaking Rove, Wolfowitz, etc. into mass culture, revealing the men behind the curtain, should be a goal of anti-neos. Just yesterday David S. Broder advised in an oped that his friend Rove keep a low profile.
The good doc's words made a little headway towards meme-dom today with a link from bartcop E!
At least there's something buzzing in there.
