Citing Potential "Hate," Feds and Race Profiteers Descend on Florida
Written by Alex Newman
As race-hatred profiteers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson whip up a frenzy of hysteria over a hypothetical racial element to the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida last month, the Obama administration's Justice Department is reportedly investigating whether or not shooter George Zimmerman can be federally prosecuted for a "hate crime." And experts fear the situation is spiraling quickly out of control.
Some observers are even worried a "race war" may erupt as a group of racist blacks — the New Black Panther Party — offered a "bounty" for the "capture" of Zimmerman, who has not been charged with a crime. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," said New Black Panther leader Mikhail Muhammad during a rally in Florida, leading a group of followers chanting "black power."
"It's time for us, as black men, to take justice in our own hands. If you won't give us justice, we will have to take justice," Muhammad told the crowd. "An eye for an eye. A life for a life."
Local officials and law enforcement condemned the incitement to violence and warned that "vigilante justice" could result in criminal charges. But the anti-Semitic black supremacist group has repeatedly called for violence against whites, Jews, and law enforcement. And during the 2008 election, members of the party were caught on film carrying weapons and intimidating voters at polling places.
Obama's Justice Department refused to prosecute the high-profile cases, sparking resignations and accusations of racism within the upper echelons of the administration. But as the media hype surrounding the Florida shooting grows, even President Obama "shamelessly" poured fuel on the fire, further stirring up racial tensions in what critics called highly inappropriate exploitation of the tragedy.
"I think all of us have to do some soul-searching to figure out how did something like this happen," Obama said during a press conference, calling for federal involvement in the process. "And that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened as well as the specifics of the incident. But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: You know if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
Even respected black analysts have pointed out the administration's regular and inappropriate reliance on the "race card" to silence critics and advance an agenda. But it remains unclear why Obama felt compelled to inject skin color into the controversy surrounding Martin's death rather than remaining silent as the investigation proceeds or focusing instead on the teenager's individual humanity.
"This case is spinning out of control," said Zimmerman's attorney Craig Sonner, adding that he believed his client's life was in danger. "I hope there's a way to rein things in so it doesn't become an issue of a racial battle. I hope that things come back so that there can be a time for justice and for healing and not for just skipping the whole judicial process and going straight to sentencing."
More than a few analysts have even gone on the defensive, pointing out that federal statistics show black-on-white crime is far more prevalent than the other way around. Others have called for calm, seeking to defuse the hate-mongering and tone down efforts by professional race-baiters to turn a tragedy into an opportunity for political or financial benefit. But the hysteria is only growing louder.
On February 26, Martin, a black 17-year-old walking to his father's house in a gated community, was allegedly confronted by the Neighborhood Watch captain, Zimmerman, who is of Hispanic origin. The residential complex had recently experienced a series of burglaries, so Zimmerman called police and reported a suspicious person wearing a hoodie.
What happened next is not yet clear. Police reportedly told Zimmerman not to pursue Martin, but according to some reports about what has emerged so far, he may have done so anyway. After a scuffle, Martin was fatally shot in the chest. Now, activists want Zimmerman on trial for murder.
Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, however, said physical evidence at the scene and witness testimony gathered so far during a "fair investigation" supported Zimmerman's version of events — regardless of anyone's skin color or any assumptions reached by observers. Essentially, Zimmerman claimed he lost track of Martin and was on his way back to his vehicle when Martin attacked him, allegedly breaking his nose and smashing his head. Zimmerman said he responded to the attack by shooting Martin in self-defense.
Zimmerman's phone call to law enforcement was released by the police department, but did not shed much more light on the circumstances. According to some analysts, it sounds like he may have uttered a racial slur before the shooting. However, the shooter's attorney and others dispute that allegation, and the audio tape is not clear even after being professionally enhanced in a studio.
People who know Zimmerman – his family, friends, attorney, and others in the neighborhood – categorically denied that he harbored any racist sentiments at all. The black mother of a young teen Zimmerman was mentoring did not believe he harbored secret racial animosity either. And several reports have noted that Zimmerman even helped raise money for a black church.
Still, a coalition of race-baiters is attempting to exploit Martin's death to further the collective victimization agenda and stoke more hatred. Citing — bizarrely enough — the non-existent "First Amendment" right to "free movement" and "free access," Rep. Sheila Jackson (D-Texas) called the case a "civil rights" issue that needed to be dealt with by the federal government.
And federal investigators — encouraged by politicians, celebrities, and race profiteers — are reportedly probing the case in hopes of securing a "hate crime" prosecution. While the anti-constitutional statute would not have even been considered relevant in this case a few years ago, in 2009, Obama signed another unconstitutional law expanding the federal government's purported jurisdiction over state crimes potentially motivated by "hate."
Under the new statute, more categories of "hate" victims — homosexuals and transgender people, for example — were added to the list of federally protected groups. And a previous requirement that victims of "hate" be engaged in so-called "federally protected" activities like going to government school was dropped, opening the door to an even wider array of usurpations of state and local matters by the federal government.
But attorney Daryl Parks, who represents Martin's family, said a federal "hate" prosecution would be "a challenge, to put it lightly," adding that a state-level case would have a better chance of succeeding. "Most state laws tend to be better for the prosecution of state crimes," he told the board of the National Association of Black Journalists, noting that federal prosecutors could not get involved unless there was a definite racial component to the case.
"I think the focus is not necessarily a federal arrest over a state arrest," Parks said. "We want an arrest, period. And I think that the state aspect of that is the one that's most feasible, most attainable in this matter."
Meanwhile, controversial U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder would probably attract another firestorm of criticism if his badly tainted department attempted to trump state jurisdiction and pursue a "hate-crime" case — especially after failing to prosecute the New Black Panthers for blatant voter intimidation and well-documented civil rights violations. Holder is also under congressional investigation for trafficking guns to Mexican cartels in the Fast and Furious scandal and for an ongoing cover-up that could see him held in contempt.
Well over a hundred members of Congress have already called for Holder to step down. And casting another cloud of suspicion over his widely criticized term in office, Holder outrageously suggested the investigation into his deadly gun-trafficking operation was motivated by politics and race. "This is way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him both due to nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we're both African-American," he told the New York Times, prompting both ridicule and disbelief by analysts.
Critics have blasted the collectivist pandering surrounding the Florida case — efforts to define individuals by superficial characteristics like skin color or ethnic origin instead of the content of their character. Plus, the facts are not even all known yet. But with so much establishment-media hype, saner voices have been largely drummed out of the debate in favor of hysterical hate mongers and career collective-victimization profiteers.
The tragedy has also become a rallying cry for a broad array of political opportunists beyond racist agitators and the Obama administration. Anti-gun zealots, for example, have exploited the teenager's death to attack Second Amendment rights and Florida's laws governing self-defense.

Jimmie Payne, a former Mr. America and a longtime contemporary and friend of Jack LaLanne's who also operated gyms and designed equipment, died Friday. He was 85.
Payne had been on regular dialysis after he suffered renal failure about five years ago, and he was undergoing dialysis treatment when his heart failed on Friday, according to the Santa Rosa (CA) Press Democrat. He was still doing light workouts two or three times a week at Healdsburg (CA) Community Health and Fitness, the gym and racquetball facility he once owned, until an infection hospitalized him for several days three weeks ago, the newspaper reported.
"Jack loved Jimmie like a father and son," Elaine LaLanne, Jack's widow, told Club Industry today. "They were very, very close. Jimmie spoke at Jack's memorial. He was such a sweetheart. There was not a bad bone in Jimmie's body. Jack was so proud of him."
Payne met LaLanne, 12 years his senior, as a kid in northern California, and LaLanne served as his inspiration. The two put on bodybuilding and hand-balancing shows together at fairs, high schools, churches—even at prisons. Payne used to tell the story that in one of the hand-balancing acts that they did, they missed a trick, but nobody in the audience left. The reason? They were in San Quentin, the state prison in California.
"He was kind of my idol," Payne said of LaLanne in a 2009 interview with Club Industry. "Jack was amazing. He had one of the great beach bodies of anybody. He had a body you stopped to look at."
Payne, at 5-foot-6 and 150 pounds in his prime, was named Mr. America in 1950 by the International Federation of Body Builders. Payne also won four world wristwrestling championships, which were nationally televised, the Press Democrat reported. Like LaLanne, Payne hosted an exercise TV show. Payne's show, "Junior Mr. & Miss America Club," featured his two older children and aired in the Bay Area every Saturday in the late 1950s, according to the report.
Payne's death comes a little more than a year after LaLanne passed away at the age of 96 and a few months after the fitness industry lost another icon, Bob Delmonteque, who died last November at the age of 85.
A celebration of Payne's life will be held at 1 p.m. on March 11 at the Friedman Center in Santa Rosa, CA, the newspaper reported. Payne's family suggested that in lieu of flowers or donations, mourners "buy a gym membership and use it," according to the report.


text: Graduate from school of hard knocks-The Province May 15, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Player spent so much time injured he became club physiotherapist Marc Weber The Province Thursday, May 15, 2008 Chris Franks can heal their pain because he feels their pain. "Two ankle surgeries. Groin surgery. Hip surgery. Nose, face and cheek. Countless muscle pulls. Chronic lower back pain -- it's a genetic thing I inherited from my old man," Franks says, reciting his grocery list of grief. Franks, one of the longest-serving players in Vancouver Whitecaps history, was also one of the most often injured. Despite a playing career that spanned an impressive 12 seasons, from 1994-2005, he sits only 10th on the team's all-time games-played list. "I probably cost them more in physio than my contract was worth," Franks quips. Yet he has gained through his pain, and so have the Whitecaps. Franks is now in his second season as the team's head physiotherapist and there's no doubt that his past ailments have helped him in his current role. "He's probably had any injury we can come up with," says veteran midfielder Martin Nash. "When you tell him about an injury, he knows what's going on. He's a very good physio." "It helps that you can judge a timeline a bit better," adds Franks. "Tell them what their symptoms might be so they're not shocked why things are taking so long or why they're in so much pain." Franks' body was banged up at an early age. He recalls sharp pains shooting down his back and legs in high school, and after a basketball spill in Grade 9 he had hip surgery to remove bone chips. A couple of years into his Whitecaps playing career, while studying human kinetics at UBC, he started thinking seriously about a career as a physiotherapist. "It kind of just seemed like a good step for me -- you're in there [the medical room] all the time and you have an interest in sport and in the body," says Franks, who was treated by two of the best B.C. has ever produced in Alex McKechnie and Rick Celebrini. McKechnie is famous for treating Shaq and the L.A. Lakers, and Celebrini is currently the manager of medical services for Vanoc. "They were a really good example for what a physio should be," Franks says. "They were fantastic physios but also good handlers of personality." The relationship between physio and athlete, and physio and coach, is an interesting and important one. Balancing the team's interests with the individual's can be a delicate situation. "You go through the gamut," Franks says of working with coaches. "As a player, they either try and get you to push through it more, or they want you to be reasonably fully healthy. "This year it's been great in that Teitur [head coach Thordarson] is really understanding." Staying out of the physio room was always a challenge for Franks the player, mostly because prevention wasn't a priority on the pitch. "He was such a tough player -- relentless," says current Whitecap and longtime teammate Geordie Lyall. "There's a story with him in a UBC game. They were up like 5-1 and he goes flying into a tackle and breaks his leg. That's just the kind of guy he was." Actually the score was 4-0 in the 1994 CIS final when Franks charged into the fray and broke his ankle. He kept playing for a time, too. "You've heard of a 50/50 tackle," says UBC head coach Mike Mosher. "Well, Chris never met a 30/70 tackle he didn't think he could win." In hindsight, all those struggles -- the long days of rehabilitation, long nights trying to get his body to quiet down -- were a great resumé builder. As important perhaps as anything he's learned in a textbook or experience he's had with a patient. "He probably didn't have to study much," says Lyall. "He is a case study." Given the choice, though, Franks would have spent more time on the field and less on the training table. "I would rather not have had to have gone through all that," he says, "but it was beneficial, for sure." For him and for the Whitecaps. firstname.lastname@example.com - - - BEST AND WORST OF ... Chris Franks has endured six surgeries and broken his nose seven times. He works as a physiotherapist at UBC's Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre, in addition to his role with the Whitecaps.

Future Book Lover Born By Surprise
Photo credit: John Slater/Photodisc/Getty Images
Having a baby in public is never on any mom-to-be's birth plan, but if you have to pick a location, a children's library may be one of the coolest, especially if you love books. A British mom had the surprise of her life when her little one made a sudden appearance on what she thought was a typical Monday morning.
Hello, Baby!
A British mom was trying to take her four young children to school when she suddenly went into labor. According to witnesses, her water broke and she was escorted to a private area in a children's library that is not open to the public. An ambulance was summoned, but they realized that the baby was not interested in waiting, so they set up screens and assisted her as her little one was born in the library.
They also shared that her other four children were looked after and kept entertained by staff from a nearby office. "It could have been very frightening for them to see their mother in pain so we did everything we could to distract them and keep them occupied," said Emine Mustapha, Enfield Council.
A birth plan, out the window
Not everyone carefully constructs a birth plan — I never did, beyond, "Have a VBAC at the hospital." But some spend quite a lot of time and thought on minimizing interventions and having a good overall experience. However, when you go into labor suddenly and give birth wherever you happen to be, the only thing that usually goes according to plan is, "Have a baby."
If you could decide on a public location to give birth in, where would you choose? A grocery store? Walmart's parking lot? A mall? When you think about all of the various possibilities, a library really doesn't sound half bad.

Offensive in the Compact Segment Continues: Start of new Mercedes-Benz Plant in Hungary
- New B-Class now also in production at Kecskemét
- 4-door coupé to become second product for new plant
- Workforce to be expanded to more than 3,000 employees
- Dr. Dieter Zetsche: "With the start of production in Kecskemét, the
Mercedes-Benz offensive in the premium compact segment is shifting up a gear."
- New generation of Mercedes-Benz compact cars to be built in the Rastatt-Kecskemét production network
Kecskemét, Hungary – Daimler started production at its new passenger car plant in Kecskemét today. Passenger cars are now rolling off the assembly line in Hungary less than four years after the location decision was made in summer 2008. Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Plant Manager Frank Klein and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán welcomed around 600 Hungarian and German guests at the opening ceremony.
At the press conference, Dr. Dieter Zetsche stressed the importance of the new location: "With the start of production in Kecskemét, the Mercedes-Benz offensive in the premium compact segment is shifting up a gear. With the production network of the Rastatt and Kecskemét plants, we now have the capacity to meet the demand from many existing – and new – customers in the premium compact segment."
In this respect, Zetsche announced that another model series would also be coming to the new location – the 4-door coupé of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz compact cars. As part of the ongoing plant development, headcount is to be increased from around 2,500 to more than 3,000 by the end of this year.
Zetsche expressed his special thanks to Daimler's Hungarian partners in the political, administrative and social areas: "They welcomed us like a friend and actively supported us through every stage of the plant development. Their tireless commitment was one of the main reasons for the positive outcome of this project, and will continue to be a key factor in the success of the Mercedes-Benz Kecskemét plant."
Zetsche also praised the outstanding work of the Hungarian, German and international employees in developing the new plant: "This team has provided the perfect example of how we will expand our passenger car production capacity in the years ahead. We are thus laying the foundations for implementing our Mercedes-Benz 2020 growth strategy."
Frank Klein, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary Kft., said: "We are making history today: less than four years after the location decision was made, 'Mercedes-Benz Made in Hungary' has become a reality. From now on, we can show that we are a key pillar of the Mercedes-Benz production network. Our intensive preparations have enabled us to produce the established Mercedes-Benz quality right from the very first vehicle."
The first vehicle from the plant is to be auctioned off. The proceeds will be donated to the Hungarian aid organization Nemzetközi Gyermekment ő Szolgálat (International Children's Safety Service).
Additional capacity for B-Class production
The first product in the new generation of Mercedes-Benz compact cars, the B-Class is now built at the new plant. It went into production at the plant in Rastatt, Germany back in September 2011. With this increased production capacity, it is now possible to fully address the overwhelming customer response: Mercedes-Benz has already received more than 100,000 orders for the B-Class since its launch in November 2011.
Efficient production in the Rastatt-Kecskemét network
In total, Daimler has invested €1.4 billion in production of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz cars: €800 million for construction of the Kecskemét plant and €600 million for expansion of the Rastatt plant.
The joint production of the B-Class in Rastatt and in Kecskemét enables flexible and optimum management of both plants' capacity utilization. This volume flexibility is a key factor of the economic efficiency of the production network. In addition, the joint architecture of the new generation of compact cars ensures complete type flexibility in production: in principle, all models at the location can be produced on the same assembly line, in all variants of the product range and in any sequence.
The production network also includes the efficient logistical link between the two plants, which are part of the Daimler Rail Net network. The recently opened east-west rail link supplements the existing north-south links between the powertrain and vehicle plants in Germany. In particular, body parts, engines, transmission systems and other components are delivered from the German locations to Kecskemét by rail. From 2013, most of the completed vehicles will also be transported by rail in the opposite direction. Overall, when completed, this will save up to 60,000 tons of CO2 per year.
Perfect planning and green production from the outset
The plant in Kecskemét was the first passenger car production plant in the Group to be entirely digitally planned and to receive three-dimensional backup. This was an essential requirement for the perfectly-timed workflows and adherence to all deadlines and cost targets.
State-of-the-art, environmentally sound technology is used at the plant. For instance, the paint shop is one of the most modern and resource-friendly facilities of its kind with its innovative dry separation method. The overall energy concept is particularly geared towards efficiency, e.g. the ventilation system of the production shops with heat recovery, the use of highly efficient strip-lighting systems for illumination and the use of two district heating plants to supply electricity and heat.
The most attractive employer in the region
The plant is the most attractive employer in the region, especially since employee training is a top priority. All new employees undergo intensive training programs, which are available at the in-house training center in Kecskemét and at the German locations, particularly at the Rastatt plant. This thorough, high-grade training is the key success factor in producing top-quality vehicles to Mercedes-Benz standards at the location from the outset.
Innovative dual training in Hungary, strategic partnerships in the area of education
The Mercedes-Benz Kecskemét plant is also covering future requirements for qualified staff through strategic partnerships in the area of education. In particular, the plant is breaking new ground by offering high-grade dual vocational training based on the German model, which is being delivered in conjunction with Kecskemét City Council and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the county of Bács-Kiskun. The first 34 trainees started their courses in 2011, and the next intake of 36 trainees will start their training in September 2012.
In the tertiary education sector, the Mercedes-Benz plant and Kecskemét University of Applied Sciences have joined forces to enable practically-oriented, dual university education. The first students in this new training format will commence their studies in September 2012. With this offering, the partners are aiming to make the University for Applied Sciences the number one centre in Hungary for training of extremely well-qualified specialists for the automobile industry.
Hungarian companies benefit from the project
The Hungarian economy has benefited significantly from the choice of location. For instance, over 90% of the order volume for construction of the plant was placed with Hungarian companies. Operation of the plant also provides wide-ranging opportunities for Hungarian partners, for example service providers and craftsmen. Regarding the production materials for the new generation of Mercedes-Benz compact cars, 17 Hungary-based suppliers have been awarded a substantial order volume worth running into nine figures of euros.

What causes the startling, unbidden perception of something that seems very real but has no material existence outside of our own minds? The "poet-laureate of medicine," Oliver Sacks, takes us through the looking glass and into the fascinating world of hallucinations. Oliver Sacks, MD, is a physician, best-selling author, and professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (1985), An Anthropologist on Mars (1995), Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain (2007), and The Mind's Eye (2010). His book Awakenings (1973) inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Sacks is a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His newest book is Hallucinations (2012).
Indre Viskontas, a PhD neuroscientist and a Committee for Skeptical Inquiry Fellow, interviewed Sacks for our Center for Inquiry's Point of Inquiry podcast.
You have a new book out called Hallucinations, and some of our readers may have already come across an excerpt in the New Yorker called "Altered States," in which you describe some of your own experiences with hallucinogenic drugs. But before we delve into that topic, please tell us what is it that distinguishes a hallucination from other fantastical mental experiences, such as waking dreams or imagination?
Well, hallucinations can occur in full consciousness, unlike dreams, and they are projected externally and appear to have a real and objective reality, unlike imagined objects and people. They are similar to percepts (objects of perception) except they are, as it were, forced percepts in which there's nothing there to perceive. It's as if the perceiving parts of the brain have been forcefully activated internally.
I was initially struck by the beginning of your book, where you talk about people who have hallucinations because one of their senses has an absence of stimulation. For example, Charles Bonnet Syndrome, where people who are blind experience visual hallucinations. Tell us a little more about what's going on there.
First, a lot of my work is done in an old-age home. I see a lot of people who have impaired vision or hearing even though they are intellectually quite intact. And a good proportion—I can't say exactly but I would think close to a fifth of these people—develop hallucinations in the mode in which they are defective. So the blind and partially blind get purely visual hallucinations. Deaf people get auditory hallucinations, most commonly musical rather than verbal. People who've lost their sense of smell can get smell hallucinations.
One might say that people who have lost a limb get limb hallucinations. But I'm not quite sure whether phantom limbs belong in the same category with the others.
I open the book with a description of a patient whom I've been following for many years, who became very dear to me, and I was very sad when she died a few weeks ago, just short of her hundredth birthday. She was a remarkable old lady, strong and clear minded.
The nursing home phoned me saying she was apparently hallucinating and they didn't know what was going on. When I went to see her, she was puzzled. She said, "I've been blind for five years. I see nothing. Why am I seeing things now?" I asked, "What sort of things?" She described scenes with animals, with people looking at her, with falling snow and a snow plow. Very vivid visual vignettes, maybe two or three minutes long, and then there would be another one.
I asked if they were like dreams, and she said, "No, they're like film clips or maybe like going to the theater." Interestingly, she could never recognize the people or places she hallucinated. And she felt that when they did their thing it was autonomously without any relation to her or to her own thoughts or feelings. This is rather characteristic of hallucinations in Charles Bonnet syndrome. Other hallucinations sometimes are charged with affects (emotions) or the sense of familiarity. But not the Charles Bonnet ones.
You mention that in the case of these visual hallucinations, they were of unfamiliar things. Whereas, I think you also mention that when people have musical hallucinations they are generally of familiar melodies or tunes or music they have heard before. Is that fair to say?
Yes, it's a very striking difference. I've wondered whether it's because music is an already constructed thing, whether one takes in whole pieces of music as opposed to visual things which may not be completed, unless of course, one is hallucinating a painting or photograph. It's very much that what one sees has to be constructed like imagining an image. Whereas the musical ones are very much more like memories.
Do you know of any research in which people have looked at what's going on in the brain during these hallucinations? Say, for example, in the visual hallucinations, there's some other part of the brain that's also active that's doing the imagining or creating the scene.
Yes, well, there have been some very beautiful studies that have become possible with the advent of functional brain imaging, fMRI, and more recent forms of imaging, tensor imaging, that shows the white matter. If people were hallucinating faces, there tended to be abnormal activity in the so-called fusiform face area in the back of the right hemisphere in the inferotemporal cortex. If, on the other hand, they were hallucinating words or pseudo-words or letters, lexical hallucinations, then the visual word form area in the left hemisphere would be activated. And it looked very much that those systems of the brain involved in perceptual recognition generated hallucinations of that sort if they were being autonomously stimulated or released.
I think the studies of musical hallucinations have not sorted things out quite in this way because people hear [complete] pieces of music. What we find is a very widespread activation of all those parts of the brain, including cerebellum, basal ganglia, premotor cortex, and so forth that are activated when one listens to real music.
In these patients who are experiencing hallucinations in the absence of stimulation, and in particular, those healthy people you described who, after three days in a sensory deprivation chamber, began to hallucinate, it almost seems as though the hallucinations are a comfort rather than something they fear. Did you find that patients over time would learn to control either the content or the expression of their hallucinations?
Usually no control, or very little control, was obtained. But there tended to be accommodation. Once people with Charles Bonnet are reassured that there is no psychiatric or neurological calamity and they're not on anything hallucinogenic, they may then become quite accepting of the hallucinations. I quote one man who imagined his eyes saying, "We know blindness is no fun so we have concocted this small syndrome as a sort of coda to your sighted life. It's not much, but it's the best we can do." I'm slightly misquoting him, but that's essentially what he imagined his eyes saying. Charles Bonnet's grandfather who, as it were, was the original subject, would often compare his hallucinations to spectacles in a theater, and would sometimes like to go in a dark room in the afternoon for a hallucinatory matinee.
I was struck along the same lines by a description of a patient you wrote about. Her name was Gertie C. I believe she was a Parkinsonian patient. Could you tell our readers her story?
Gertie was a patient who had had the sleeping sickness, encephalitis lethargica, and a post-encephalitic syndrome which immobilized her for decades before she was put on L-dopa. She had all sorts of hallucinations, as do other patients on L-dopa. But it also become clear, when she got to know me and trust me (and I followed her for ten years or more) that she had had hallucinations long before she was put on L-dopa, mostly of a rather pastoral sort. She imagined lying in a meadow or floating in water. When she was put on L-dopa, her hallucinations became more social and more erotic, and apparently she got these quite under control so that she did not hallucinate until the evening. When it was time for her to hallucinate at 8:00 PM, she would say to her visitors, firmly but courteously, that she was expecting a gentleman visitor from out of town, and perhaps they could come another day. Her gentleman visitor, an apparition, would come through the window and brought her much comfort, both social and sexual. But she really seemed to have control of this. It never spread out of control, and it had this sort of humor that was engaging.
But she was an old hand at hallucinating. It may be that some schizophrenic patients—she was not schizophrenic—may also get on comfortable terms in this sort of way with their hallucinations. Incidentally, I mentioned in my book another patient who had Parkinson's disease (not post-encephalitic), and he was also prone to hallucinating visitors. But they never followed him out of the apartment. They were confined to his apartment, and he could get away from them, if he wished, by going outside.
About a year ago I cohosted a television show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, in which I had the opportunity to investigate claims of miracles across the U.S. Several of the episodes included people who reported having had visions of a religious sense. They would be very offended if I intimated at all that they might have been hallucinating. Is there a difference, at least in the medical field, between what people think of as a religious vision and a hallucination?
Well, there is certainly a difference in character. People are often rather quiet about ordinary hallucinations. But with religious experiences, they may become almost evangelical. There's a book in front of me at this moment which has been much talked about and is on the cover of Newsweek. It's called Proof of Heaven and subtitled, "A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife," by a man called Eben Alexander.
He had a nasty bacterial meningitis. He was in a coma for several days. But when he came to, he described an enormously complex so-called near-death experience. These experiences are often rather stereotyped in quality. People may feel they're in a dark corridor and moving towards some bright light. Feelings of bliss envelop them as they are drawn towards the light. They sense, in a way, that the light is the boundary between life and death. And they would then come back or "float back." In Musicophilia, I described such a sequence with a subject, another surgeon as it happened, who had been struck by lightning.
And he had this sort of blissful moment and then he said, "Slam! I was back." He was back because someone was doing CPR on his heart and his heart started beating again twenty or thirty seconds afterwards. So, his whole cosmic journey only occupied a matter of seconds. Dr. Alexander feels that his cortex was out of action while he was having his visions and therefore it must have been direct supernatural intervention. I think such a claim can't be sustained and indeed, a few seconds of altered consciousness as one emerges from coma would be enough to give him such a state.
People in these states may insist on their reality and feel their lives are transformed. And, as you say, may get angry if one says it was a hallucination. Of course, hallucinations, being brain events in the absence of any sort of objective world around one, can't be evidence of anything, much less proof of anything. Certainly the being in heaven hallucination may feel real at the time, but in retrospect, I think many people will almost regretfully say, well, it was a hallucination. It seemed intensely real but it can't be.
But other people may stick with the feeling that they have been vouchsafed a glimpse of the afterlife or, indeed, they have had quite a long sojourn there. One knows that what one had imagined was not reality. But if it leaks into hallucination, it may [seem to] be. I don't think hallucinations are evidence of reality any more than imaginings are.
I was struck by how you describe almost a continuum of belief in one's own hallucinations. You have people who, for example, on one extreme, have Anton's Syndrome in which they have damage to the occipital lobe and they're blind cortically. But they deny their impairment—despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. On the other extreme, you have people who immediately know that their hallucinations aren't real and they're skeptical of them. What is the difference between these two sets of people?
Anton's Syndrome, which I only touch on briefly, does involve all sorts of misconnections from reality testing. But with complex temporal lobe hallucinations, which during surgery can be induced by stimulating the temporal lobe cortex in the right place, can produce what Dr. Penfield, a pioneering neurosurgeon, called "experiential hallucinations," which seem intensely real. Although there may be a sort of doubling of consciousness, so the patient can say, "I know I am in Dr. Penfield's operating room, but I am also at the corner of 25th and First Avenue in South Bend, Indiana."
They might feel an intense sense of similarity in their investing somehow the present. I think one has to think in terms of various levels. These Charles Bonnet hallucinations are relatively low down in the ventral visual pathway. But by the time one comes to these temporal lobe hallucinations, one is finding co-activation of the amygdala and the hippocampal systems. This then may invest them, certainly, with a strong sense of emotion and familiarity. Also, to some extent, of [a sense of] reality.
You also describe—in the temporal lobe epilepsy patients—ecstatic hallucinations.
These so-called "ecstatic" hallucinations have been described for many years in the medical literature, and in the general literature. You have only to read Dostoyevsky's descriptions of his own seizures—descriptions he also splits among many of his characters. He would suddenly be arrested and cry, "God exists! God exists!" He would feel that he was in heaven and that everything was unified and made sense. It could sometimes be followed by convulsions, but he said for five seconds of this state he would give his whole life.
In these ecstatic hallucinations, there is a sudden transport of joy and also a sense of being transported to heaven or into communication with God. These seem intensely real to people and very pleasurable. There was an interesting study a few years ago when there was an attempt to treat some patients with ecstatic seizures. A lot of them refused to take medication, and some of them even found ways of inducing their own seizures.
If a seizure is pleasant, usually there is spiking in the right temporal lobe at the same time as people are having their divine vision. They may be a bit out of touch with the sort of daily reality around them. But lives are being transformed by this.
One of my favorite case histories, which I quote in my book, is of a bus conductor in London who, as he was punching the tickets, suddenly felt that he was in heaven and told this to all of his passengers. He remained in a very elated state for three days. It sounds as if he was in an almost postictal mania. Then he continued on a more moderate level, deeply religious, until he had another bunch of seizures three years later—and he said that cleared his mind. Now he no longer believes in God and angels, in Christ, in an afterlife, or in heaven. Interestingly, the second conversion to atheism carried the same elated and revelatory quality as the first one to religion.
I want to ask you about a personal experience of mine. I don't think I've ever experienced a full-blown hallucination, at least to my knowledge. But you might remember from the conversation we once had at dinner that I am a grapheme-color synesthete. For our readers who are unfamiliar with the term, it means that I see letters and numbers in color. Is this a hallucination?
No, I think that seeing letters and numbers in color or seeing music in color is really a constant physiological happening between two areas of the cortex, a letter-reading one and a color-constructing one. I think this sort of thing, which you can probably verify from your own experience, comes at an early age, and doesn't change. I suppose one might call it an illusion, in that one sensation is invested with the qualities of another sensation. This can take very complex forms. There's one professional musician who could taste different pitches—she tuned her violin by taste.
That's amazing. For me it just feels so natural, yet I know, intellectually, that the appearance of the color doesn't happen until my brain has somehow understood the symbolic meaning of a letter, for example.
That's interesting. And if you're given a sort of a nonsense string of letters, that doesn't light up at all?
Well, the letters do. But it's not until—say if I see two intersecting lines, it's not until my brain decides whether it's a T or an L that I see the color. If letters are occluded and I don't know what the letter is, there is no color. It feels instantaneous to me that the color comes on in line with the meaning of the letter. In that way, I wondered if there wasn't a part of my brain that is overlaying a hallucination. But I can see your point that it's more of an illusion because it's unchanging and it's always present.
Probably if you spoke to another letter-synesthete, you would find that he or she had different colors from you.
Yes, in fact, I've been working with an illustrator on a graphic novel. Her name is M.G. Lord. She's also a synesthete, and we have very heated arguments about what colors the letters should be.
Nabokov discovered when he was a child that he was a synesthete. But he complained to his mother that the letters in the alphabet set were of the wrong color. She agreed with him. But when she said the colors they were to her, the two of them disagreed. In general, synesthetes don't agree. This is especially striking for musical synesthetes. Liszt and Rimsky-Korsakov both thought [their musical synesthesia] was something absolute. But when they met they found that they saw very different colors and couldn't agree about anything.
I'd like to wrap up the interview with a more personal note from your own experiences. I was very much struck by one experience you described in which you had taken a hallucinogenic drug and you were waiting for a hallucination to appear. And then nothing happened. Can you describe that experience?
Yes, well, I was living then down on Venice Beach in the early 1960s, and there were a lot of drugs around. And people said to me, if you really want something striking take artane. Artane is a belladonna-like drug which is used in treating Parkinson's. And they said just take twenty, you'll still be in partial control. Anyhow, I took these tablets. At first I noticed nothing. I had a rather dry mouth, difficulty accommodating, my pupils were dilated. Nothing else. Then I heard a car door slam and footsteps, and I thought it was my friends Jim and Kathy. They often visited me on Sunday. I shouted "Come in!" and we chatted. I was in the kitchen.
There was a swinging door between the kitchen and the sitting room. I said, "How do you like your eggs done?" And we chatted in the four or five minutes while I prepared their ham and eggs. Then I walked out with the breakfast on a tray and . . . there was no one there. I was so shocked I almost dropped the tray. It hadn't occurred to me for a moment that all this was hallucinated, at least that their part of the conversation was hallucinated. I thought I'd better watch myself. But this was followed by some even stranger things, including having a conversation with a spider. I think the spider was real enough; there weren't any visual elements.
But then the spider said, "Hello." And for some reason it didn't surprise me any more than Alice was surprised by the White Rabbit. I said, "Hello yourself." And we had a conversation. Actually, an abstract conversation about some points in analytic philosophy. Many years later, I mentioned this to a friend of mine, an entomologist, the philosophical spider with a voice like Bertrand Russell. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, I know the species."
What is amazing is that you were expecting it. You were waiting for a hallucination.
Yes. Although I didn't think it would take that form. I thought it would be all sorts of dramatic visual misperceptions and hallucinations as one may get with LSD or mescaline and those drugs. But this time it was purely auditory, and oddly humdrum although at the same time deeply absurd. I wonder what one would have thought had they seen me talking learnedly to a spider.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Fast five, Wednesday edition: Five things you'll want to know about the 2014 Winter Olympics.
LIGETY SPLIT: Ted Ligety won the giant slalom at the Sochi Games with a dominating performance Wednesday, becoming the first American man to win two Olympic gold medals in Alpine skiing. Ligety finished his two runs in 2 minutes, 45.29 seconds. His first gold came in combined at the 2006 Turin Games as a 21-year-old. The only other American to win two Olympic golds in Alpine skiing was Andrea Mead Lawrence, in the 1952 Oslo Games.
BUBKA SPEAKS: Sergei Bubka, the pole vault great who heads the Ukrainian Olympic Committee, is urging both sides in Ukraine's political crisis to lay down their weapons and halt the violence that is bringing the country to "the brink of catastrophe." Bubka issued his call after clashes between riot police and anti-government protesters left at least 25 people dead and 240 injured in Kiev, the worst violence in the country's post-Soviet history.
WILD WIN: Vic Wild of Russia won Olympic gold in men's snowboard parallel giant slalom. It's Russia's sixth gold medal of the Sochi Games.
WOMEN'S HOCKEY CLASH: The women's hockey game everyone has been waiting for has nearly arrived. Canada and the United States, the two teams that have dominated international play, will face off in the gold medal game on Thursday. It's the fourth time in five Olympics the two teams will meet for the championship. Canada defenseman Jocelyne Larocque says it's going to be "just another game."
MEDAL MOVERS: Norway won two gold medals and a silver on Tuesday to be the biggest medal mover of the day, jumping to second behind Germany in the overall medal standings through 67 of 98 events. All of Norway's 18 medals in Sochi are in snow sports.

When your evenings are set with the perfect tune of jazz, it only gets more intimate. This jazzy evening complemented The Castle Press in Pasadena, one of the nation's busiest printing studios, along with Amid cocktail rounds, light snacks, space, ambiance, and everything that was part of this one remarkable night. The evening started with complimentary wine and tours of the printing studio followed by the performance.
MUSE/IQUE, an innovative cross-genre music organization that embraces the unexpected, curated by noted artistic director/conductor Rachael Worby, continued its popular Uncorked series with "Jazz Laid Down" on Monday, February 11, 2013.
I couldn't really understand at first, why jazz takes place at a printing palace? But all my questions were answered when I walked to my seat with my special guest and felt the universal energy this place brought to everyone in the audience.
A 46-ton press served as the stage as the worlds of music, dance, printing and motion intersect in an unusual setting where ultra-high tech digital presses and an 1850 Columbian Hand Press still in daily operation sit side-by-side, creating brochures and fliers for everything from sandwich shops to symphonies.
Featuring legendary bassist Charlie Haden as special guest along with the electro-acoustic jazz, funk and world music of TriTone Asylum and original choreography by Joffrey Ballet choreographer Alice Alyse performed by dancer Haylee Roderick. The jazz band along with the beautiful host Rachael Worby explained each song with its elements of music. I really like that particular quality of the show. I personally feel the sound of jazz when listening, but not really know how is collectively emerged to create a soothing classical piece. The evening was very special, specially when host and band members were interacting with the audience to give us a hint of why jazz lives in our hearts. From 6 years old to golden age attendees, the room was full of respect for jazz and the joy this genre brings to our lives. All guests received gifts from selected sponsors like: Cuties Oranges bag and a personalized blank card from Castle Press.
Susan and George Kinney are the proprietors of Castle Press, which partnered with MUSE/IQUE for this presentation.
Looking forward to next time.
Ps; let your heart dance to jazz.

Poco a poco, our trip to El Salvador is coming together, although we have come up against a few obstacles.
First step, passports. Carlos needed an American passport, our oldest son was an infant in his expired passport photo, and our youngest had never owned one. (Mine also needed to be renewed.) At the passport office, the clerk was very friendly but she regretted to inform us that Carlos's official Salvadoran birth certificate and official translation, didn't meet their strict identification requirements. "We need one with a raised seal," she said, running her finger across the flat piece of paper.
I laughed out loud. This certificate is his real birth certificate, not a copy. Good luck getting the government of El Salvador to send you another one designed to their specifications. (George Lopez voice: "Raised seal! 'Ta loca, raised seal!")
I pulled out Carlos's Naturalization Certificate and the clerk agreed that this would work – pero – she wanted the original. Anyone who has gotten their papers knows that the Naturalization Certificate is something you guard with your life – they cost hundreds of dollars to replace – but we didn't have a choice. We handed it over and she promised that once they were done processing the passport, they would send it back to us.
That was a few weeks ago and thankfully we've received three passports and Carlos's certificate back in the mail. (My passport is still processing.)
Final cost of passports, almost $500. Ouch.
There was no way to cut costs on passports, but we thought maybe we could on luggage. My parents generously agreed to let us borrow some of their suitcases but they're going to the beach two weeks before we plan to go to El Salvador, (which means I won't be able to pack early as I like to do.) Another problem? My parents wrote their surname in big block letters across the front of each suitcase. Walking around El Salvador with an Anglo name scrawled on our bags will make us (okay, me), look even more conspicuous than I already am. I kind of don't want to look like a tourist, if that's even possible. My plan for blending in is:
#1. Speak Caliche
#2. Wear sunglasses (Carlos says my blue eyes will give me away)
#3. Avoid sunburn
#4. Don't walk around with an Anglo name scrawled on my luggage
(If you have any other ideas, let me know.)
Anyway, determined not to buy new suitcases, we went to Goodwill. Their vast selection included a steamer trunk ala Titanic, (or "pirate box" as the boys called it), and a handful of smaller bags.
In the end, we bought suitcases. Hopefully that means we'll officially be traveling more.
The funny thing about buying the suitcases was that when we entered the luggage section of K-Mart where we ended up buying them, there was a guy who looked to be Latino in the aisle. He was wearing a fishing hat and clothes that suggested he might work in landscaping. (He also had side burns that would make Elvis jealous.) At first he said nothing to us – just kept pulling down suitcases, inspecting them, comparing them, and then putting them back.
I spoke to Carlos in Spanish, maybe a little louder than usual because I can be a show-off like that. The guy didn't even look up. I tried again. Nothing. I shrugged and decided maybe he was Filipino or deaf. Then he cleared his throat and asked Carlos, "Vas en viaje, eh?"
"Sí, pero están bien caras las maletas, man," Carlos said.
"Sí, muy caras," the man said, inspecting a price tag.
They were quiet for a moment and then the guy spoke again, "Y a dónde vas?…Guatemala?"
"Cerca," Carlos answered, "un poco más al sur. El Salvador," Carlos said, eyeing the not deaf, not Filipino guy.
"Oh, disculpa. espero que no te insulté," he said laughing.
"No, man. De ningún modo," Carlos said, before asking, "y usted es de Guatemala?"
"No, de El Salvador también…"
I watched the conversation, noting how neither Carlos or the guy used the Salvadoran "vos" – The guy didn't make eye contact with me, even when I asked if he wanted my older son to help him reach something on a high shelf. (My oldest son is taller than both Carlos and this guy.)
It was a strange encounter. What are the chances of two Salvadorans buying luggage in the same place at the same time? (Or one Salvadoran and one Guatemalan pretending to be Salvadoran? I'm not totally sure.)
Tickets were our next challenge. After sweating over the rising prices we kept finding online, Carlos finally called the travel agent. I don't know how she was able to do it, but she got us direct flights on TACA at the price and dates that we wanted.
We now have three weeks to get it together and aren't nearly ready. I'm relieved that passports, luggage and tickets are taken care of, but our last and greatest challenge still awaits.
Suegra is coming with us.

Re: What Would Be Boba Fett's Favorite Music?
hmmmm................. metallica and zztop, and maybe "welcome to the black parade" by my chemical romance.
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → General → What Would Be Boba Fett's Favorite Music?
hmmmm................. metallica and zztop, and maybe "welcome to the black parade" by my chemical romance.
Rock is an outlet to let your true emotions and feeling out, it is also a way to express your self in an oppressive culture. Take the song B.Y.O.B. from System of a Down, it expresses the way they feel toward the war in Iraq.
With the lyrics /Why do peasants fight the war?/ Who do we always send the poor?/ it is very expressive and questioning the current regime. That is my feeling on why Fett would listen to rock/metal. Also at the time that the classical composers like Mozart were alive their music was just as controversial as any rock bands today.
I doubt that Mozart was as controversial as Alice Cooper. You have to remember, Alice was getting decapitated by guillotine on stage while singing "I Love the Dead." Then Alice (dressed as something else) picks up the head, which has jugulars and veins and what not hanging off of it, and has it spit blood into the audiance. He was (and still is) doing this in the 1950s. Other than that, I agree with what you said, Wizard of Cars, completly.
You have to remember the standards of the time, he was not always in the Emperor's favor. In today's terms that would be the equivalent of being put on a no play list and banned from certain venues.
Fine, ignore my post... but I'm telling ya, he's not into rock. Boba has a hectic life, and if he was going to listen to something, I think he would enjoy something calming after a day of hard core, adrenaline-pumping, bounty hunting.
You all forget that Boba is a very complex individual. You all assume that he likes Rock music because he's a "badass, non-conformist, and an anti-socialist." I think you guys are kind of stereo-typing... because he can be ruthless, on the edge, etc., you all associate screaming vocals and electric guitar to his music tastes... I'm sorry, but I think you're looking at his character the wrong way. I don't think Boba could stand 10 seconds of any heavy metal band.
Now I can't get this horrible imagine of Boba head banging out of my head. >_<
Just my humble opinion though
Edit: Also, I don't think he'd enjoy lyrics too much. I think he would like something simple, mesmerizing, and just altogether relaxing
http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/jazzdow … hp?id=1234
listen to this jazz musician, I think this what Boba would like. It would help him reminisce...
Yeah i think your right. Maybe somthing tragic though like adagio for strings.
Thank you, glad you attempted that, but are you saying all people who listen to rock are generally angry and violent? I think that's stereotyping.
I think what we need is another female opinion on the topic... *waits*
I'm not trying to stereotype or anything it's just that a bunch of people who lead troubling or difficult lives listen to heavy metal and that kind of stuff.
You can just tell from the whole charecter he wouldnt listen to heavy metal it just dosent fit him.
I'd say punk. Though don't ask me why....
Thanks Guys For Messaging Back. Im Kinda New Here And I Think Of Him As A ....
Well Im Not Sure:/ I Think He Would Like Classic (piano Or Classic Rock)
Or Just Plain Metal:lol: Rock On Rob Zombie!
You can just tell from the whole charecter he wouldnt listen to heavy metal it just dosent fit him.
well I guess his whole quiet ways and stuff, that Jazz idea is starting to make sense to me
truly i dont think he is a jazz fan lol
In my imagination, I like to think he'd prefer classical.
He doesn't like conversation, so I doubt he'd want to hear lyrics.
He's got enough pent up anger as it is, so the raging metal would probably make him think too much about things.
He's an frighteningly intelligent man, so he's gonna appreciate something more intellectual.
And, when he's alone in Slave I on those long missions where there's a lot of time to feel lonely without his dad, I bet something soothing to listen too is quite therapeutic.
But then again for all I know he might like Blue Grass! ROTFL!
As far as individual songs go, I like to think he'd relate to "Running With the Devil" by Van Halen. Sounds a lot like him to me...
Now that you said that, Fettish, it sounds pretty reasonable to me. Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly" and the Eagle's "Desperado" would be good songs for him.
Classical music so says books.
Okay, another female opinion...
LOL I could be really silly and say Boba would love listening to boy bands...but I know that would get me cyber-slapped
Actually, I think he might prefer silence over anything. As was stated previously, yes, he is an intellectual and just might enjoy his cunning thoughts more than music.
If he did listen to music, I would tend to lean more toward rock/metal as well as far as being upbeat and the adrenaline-pumping music if he were getting ready for a hunt or task. No, I don't see him head-banging either. However, I believe he might throw in a classical/jazz song or two to appease his calm demeanor/ intellectual side as a wind-down.
I know I'm not really a help--I like music from Metallica and Aerosmith all the way to Tchikovsky--don't care much at all for Jazz, Bluegrass, and rap/R&B.
I'd hire Fett to kill off boy bands,and he'd probably do it for free (or at least damn cheap).I think as far as Fett is concerned there is two kinds of music in the universe...
Music he tolerates,and music he does not. And I believe there is a great deal more of the latter.
Boba Fett is a man of strong tradition and strong respect for the past. Even though he is a mercenary/hunter/killer, its been written in multiple books and stories that he has a moral side, even a 'soft' side, if you will. I dont think he would listen to music, as it would likely disrupt the concentration and focus on his surroundings that keeps him so keen on his work. However, if he were to turn something on while in the middle of space somewhere, it would probably be something Classical or even Jazz (see my first sentence)
I think the closest thing he would like would be rock. You can't go wrong with rock. Or paper, or scissors....
I can picture Fett killing a bunch of bad guys with Motzart playing in his helm, cant you?
I'm thinking that Boba Fett would listen to classical or at least something calm. Boba Fett is a very calm person. Although he might like to get his adrenaline pumping before a bounty. But then again he may just use stims.
I can picture Fett killing a bunch of bad guys with Motzart playing in his helm, cant you?
Or perhaps something by Bach like Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. That one is rather ominous and usually heard around Halloween
I can picture Fett killing a bunch of bad guys with Motzart playing in his helm, cant you?
This made me laugh so much it made my day. I mean thats awesome, Boba hearing all this peaceful Mozart music, while blasting some thugs to bleeding pieces.
I agree with Manji Ninja, Fett listening to Punk or Metal? Uhhhhh..... No....
Fett is cold and calculating, thats why we(or at least I) like him. Adrenaline-Type music would fit Bossk more than Fett, as Fett likes to keep his head clear and focus on the hunt. I imagine Fett placing music in general up with mind clouding emotions, though I suppose I could see him listening to some classical stuff, possibly.
^My Opinion
I like your avatar.
Boba would go for Metal, and Beethoven. Hard guitar, and intense, tormented classical. Yes. Without a doubt.

Maine Medical Center, in conjunction with the City of Portland, will detour traffic away from Congress Street between Forest and Weymouth streets for eight weeks starting May 7.
The detour will accommodate a large construction crane needed to add three floors with 225 additional spaces on top of MMC's visitor parking garage.
The parking garage construction and addition of two floors onto MMC's East Tower comprise Phase 1 of the medical center's $512 million expansion and modernization project. The first phase of the project was approved by the city of Portland Planning Board on March 27, and preparatory work on both the East Tower and visitor parking garage has been underway for several weeks. The visitor garage expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2018 while the East Tower is scheduled to be completed by late 2019.
The Congress Street detour was developed through multiple meetings with numerous city departments, including Traffic, Parking, Police, Fire and Planning, and was informed by meetings with neighborhood associations, residents and local businesses, including the Portland Sea Dogs.
"This detour will allow Maine Medical Center to safely and efficiently add 225 much-needed parking spaces to serve our patients and guests," said Jeff Sanders, MMC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We developed the route carefully, in full collaboration with the city and other key stakeholders, and we are committed to re-opening Congress Street as scheduled. We thank the community for its input and understanding as we make this important investment in our collective future."
Traffic coming into the city on Congress Street will be directed to take St. John Street to Park Avenue. Drivers can then return to Congress via Weymouth Street, or by taking other routes depending on their destination. Outbound traffic will follow the detour in reverse, taking Weymouth Street or other routes to Park Avenue.
MMC and City officials will carefully monitor all aspects of the detour as it gets underway, ready to respond with any adjustments or changes needed to improve traffic flow or address safety concerns. The detour will be fully signed, and signage will be installed well ahead of the construction area to fully inform motorists as early as possible. In addition, electronic variable message signs noting the detour have been deployed on I-295, allowing motorists to consider other exit ramps by which to enter Portland.
"We have brought many important perspectives to the table as we considered the detour alternatives, and are confident we developed a strong plan," said Portland City Manager Jon Jennings. "We want to stress that area businesses remain open and that we are doing everything possible to make sure they are not adversely impacted during this phase of the project. If any issues arise, we will address them swiftly and fully," Jennings said. "We absolutely recognize the importance of making this detour work for MMC and the city's residents, businesses and visitors."
Hospital patients and guests can access MMC's visitor parking garage via Gilman Street through a special entrance that passes through the MMC employee parking garage. Emergency patients and those who are scheduled for surgery should follow signage to the Emergency Department entrance where complimentary valet parking (cars will be stored at a nearby, off-site parking garage) be available. Details, including a detour map, are available at www.mmc.org/modernization.
Several METRO routes – 1, 9A, 9B and BREEZ – will detour off Congress Street to Park Avenue during the partial street closure. Bus stops along Congress Street between Weymouth and St. John streets will not be accessible during construction. METRO passengers should board buses on Park Avenue during the closure. Schedule delays may occur, as other traffic will also be detoured to Park Avenue. Updates and information will be posted on METRO's website at gpmetrobus.com
Altogether, MMC's $512 million project will create 128 new private patient rooms, add 19 procedure rooms for surgeries and other complex treatments, provide an additional 225 spaces for patient and visitor parking, and consolidate MMC employee parking into one nearby garage that will meet current demand and future growth. The project will also open Maine Medical Center to Congress Street with a new building and entrance that is expected to significantly enhance a major gateway to the city. Overall, the project optimizes bed capacity at the state's largest hospital and modernizes its aging facilities.
