There's more to climate fraud than just tax hikes
Written by Atheo | Aletho News | December 4, 2009
By now we know that Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory has been built on a mixture of hype and massaged data. Various carbon tax schemes have been put forward, even unprecedented proposals for a world wide taxation authority to be overseen by the UN. Does it follow that the primary agenda behind the fraud was implementing these new taxes, or were these proposed tax schemes secondary and part of a proclivity on the part of the state to seize any opportunity to enhance revenue?
In the three decades since AGW was made into a political tool by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party, tax laws have been "reformed" many times in Britain, as well as other Western nations dominated by the AGW meme. Margaret Thatcher and her Conservative Party were known for their opposition to social leveling through taxation. Reduction of public services, combined with hectoring the disadvantaged about self reliance, were hallmarks of British politics through the 1980's and beyond. In Europe and North America, today's overall level of taxation is not higher than that prevalent in 1979.
In Britain and the US, governments have been able to utilize the issuance of sovereign debt to increase military budgets while at the same time reducing capital gains and corporate tax rates creating an era of "borrow and spend" growth for the state sector. In the US, the higher income tax brackets have come down while middle class employees have seen increased social security deductions from their paychecks. These revenues were then "borrowed" by the general fund and in fact replaced the revenues lost due to the reduction of corporate taxes.
The burden of financing government spending has been increasingly shifted to the median wage earner and away from the investor and high income earner. Adoption of a tax collection system based on the consumption of energy would seem to fit into this general pattern, since working people spend a larger portion of their earnings on energy, and goods derived from energy, than do the wealthy. However, this outcome could be easily achieved by implementing a flat tax on income or a national sales tax. The rationale used to promote the flat tax is much simpler and would have been more likely to succeed than pushing the AGW carbon tax through fraudulent scaremongering. Right now a national sales tax would be politically far easier to implement in the US than a carbon tax.
Since the 1970's we have seen capital controls lifted allowing for the free movement of capital through most of the world. New tax credits and deductions came into existence which were, in fact, incentives for multinational corporations to shift their operations from industrialized nations to the third world. Lower corporate tax rates could be found in the third world while profits were repatriated at favorable rates. This enabled the shifting of production, and later services, to the third world through tax policies. The Kyoto protocol looked suspiciously similar to these tax policies in that it also created an advantage for the deployment of capital in low wage nations.
A "free trade" regime without tariff barriers would allow for the hyper-exploitation of third world labor while at the same time driving down first world labor costs. But due to the combined competitive disadvantages of poor infrastructure, inexperienced workforces, and transport costs, as well as the necessity of writing off stranded production assets in the developed nations, corporations based in the advanced economies demanded that their governments finance the restructuring of the global economy. Lower labor costs just couldn't compensate for the disadvantages of moving to China or India, at least not until infrastructure was improved and workforces were trained. Without government assistance, offshoring corporations would fail to compete in the marketplace with established industry at home. This motive, providing advantages to investment in the developing nations, is more plausible than the commonly assumed notion that the motive behind the AGW fraud was an excuse to raise taxes on consumers. There is a weakness in this proposition that is similar to the weakness described above regarding carbon taxes though, governments could have aided their corporations through tax advantages without all the complexity and risk involved in the AGW fraud.
Yet, there is another motive that is much more certain than either of the above possibilities, even more certain than the profits that Goldman Sachs stood to gain from carbon credits trading schemes. To understand this motive we must return to the time when the AGW meme was first promoted. Three Mile Island had recently been shut down following a near melt down. Unknown quantities of radioactive material were released across a vast area of Pennsylvania. 2,400 lawsuits were filed for death or disease suffered by family members which were ultimately denied access to federal courts. In the US, applications for construction of new nuclear power plants had a zero chance of approval by local authorities. The nuclear industry had come to a standstill. At the same time national policy makers, in conjunction with the military industrial complex, wanted to maintain a dynamic nuclear industry that included ongoing mining, milling, enrichment, research and development as well as a large pool of personnel with nuclear expertise. In fact, Thatcher's situation was particularly strained in that she wanted to discharge tens of thousands of coal miners, replacing them with the politically poisonous nuclear power plants. This feat would require an overriding fear, something that calls for the public to acquiesce and reserve their strong objections. There would be no way to sell such policies to the public without resorting to a paradigm changing ruse, one that defines any dissidence as a danger to the safety of society. AGW would provide that cover. In fact, it is hard to imagine any other paradigm change that could have subverted the environmentalist opposition to the nuclear industry.
If the AGW theory could be planted within a co-opted or deceived environmental movement, general acceptance of the alarmism would be seen by many as a victory for the environment despite the fact that CO2 is not actually a pollutant. An entire field of "science" could be elevated with the sole purpose of confirming the AGW theory, creating a consensus of credulousness among its membership whose entire careers are always at stake.
The din of propaganda would remain constant until a state of emergency appeared imminent. Nuclear power plants would be presented as the way out while the absence of any solution for nuclear waste disposal would be ignored. The high financial cost of the nuclear facilities would be absorbed much later by rate payers while the government would underwrite the investor's risks.
The AGW Svengali, Al Gore, is no stranger to promotion of the nuclear industry. Since the late 70's, he has been outspoken in support of new reactors, defending the aborted Clinch River Breeder Reactor, which was was scheduled to produce weapons grade plutonium, to the bitter end. Representation of nuclear interests is actually a Gore family tradition going back to the industry's foundation. Keith Harmon Snow reports:
A 1957 study by the Brookhaven National Laboratory estimated "the consequences of a very large reactor accident at a hypothetically small nuclear plant near a large city" at 43,000 injuries, 3,400 deaths and $7 billion in 1957 losses. Congress passed the "Gore Bill" of 1956, championed by then U.S. Senator Albert Gore (Sr.) of the pro-nuclear Gore dynasty. This became the Price Andersen Act — reauthorized by Congress again in 2002 – shielding the industry from significant liability for any major nuclear accident. The 1989 Presidential Commission of Inquiry into Catastrophic Nuclear Power Accidents determined that private nuclear corporations would be unlikely to survive unless the federal government insured the industry against such "unexpected and unknown" potential liabilities as the Bhopal disaster (Union Carbide), Agent Orange (Dow) and the Dalkon Shield.
To better appreciate the imperative of maintaining the nuclear industry one must acknowledge the tenuous hold on power that the Western elites possess. The global mass of humanity have little interest in the perpetuation of the existing power structure. While it is possible for a minority to rule over the majority, without an overwhelming technological advantage, military dominance is too costly both in lives and finance. Weapons of mass destruction have provided the ultimate terror instrument necessary to check organized challenges to military supremacy. This was why Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obliterated. Pax Americana arose from the annihilation of non-combatants. The capability of mass murder is why some nations have seats on the UN Security Council with veto power while others have one vote in the General Assembly. Maintenance of this disparity in destructive power is essential to the continued dominance over the non-nuclear nations according to Peter Phillips:
The U.S. Government is blazing a trail of nuclear weapon revival leading to global nuclear dominance. A nuke-revival group, supported by people like Stephen Younger, Associate Director for Nuclear Weapons at Los Alamos, proposes a "mini-nuke" capable of burrowing into underground weapon supplies and unleashing a small, but contained nuclear explosion. This weapons advocacy group is comprised of nuclear scientists, Department of Energy (DoE) officials, right wing analysts, former government officials, and a congressionally appointed over-sight panel. The group wants to ensure that the U.S. continues to develop nuclear capacity into the next half century.
The US nuclear energy industry is overseen by the Department of Energy, which also oversees the nuclear weapons complex through the National Nuclear Security Administration. The reliable lifespan of the current nuclear arsenal is measured in decades. Due to the untested decay characteristics of plutonium it is possible that much of the present arsenal could become unserviceable with little advance warning. The existence of a robust nuclear industry is a prerequisite for new weapons production capability which may be the main factor in Energy Secretary Chu's strident support for a new generation of nuclear power plants. AGW has been instrumental in the resurrection of nuclear power in the US and Britain. Seen in this light, the AGW fraud is not surprising.
The mass collusion in lies is actually a normal occurrence when "national security" is perceived to be involved. Institutions and foundations are relied upon to perform their roles. Entire industries conform to the dominant anticipated cap and trade system. Other nations have been co-opted or pressed into accepting the AGW meme. One only has to consider the warmongering lies about "Iraqi WMDs" or "Iranian nuclear weapons programs" to put the AGW fraud into perspective.

Why the 'Left' is Dead in the Water
By Gilad Atzmon | February 28, 2019
It seems that there is not much left of the Left and what remains has nothing to do with 'Left.'
Contemporary 'Left' politics is detached from its natural constituency, working people. The so called 'Left' is basically a symbolic identifier for 'Guardian readers' a critical expression attributed to middle class people who, for some reason, claim to know what is good for the working class. How did this happen to the Left? Why was it derailed and by whom? … continue

Uncertainty at the Northern Ireland Assembly could delay the introduction of a ban on smoking in cars with child passengers.
The landmark legislation, which is designed to protect children from the effects of tobacco smoke, comes into force in England and Wales on Thursday.
It will see the driver and any smoker fined £50 if they have someone under 18 in the car with them.
Neil Johnston, public affairs officer for the Chest Heart and Stroke charity, said constant flux at Stormont risks derailing attempts to bring the same law to Northern Ireland.
"The Miscellanous Bill for NI is currently going through the Assembly which will make it an offence here, but unless it is formally introduced by the end of October nothing will happen. It cannot be carried over into the next Assembly," he said.
"That means we would have to start all over again in the next Assembly, meaning it could be 2017 before it becomes an offence in Northern Ireland.
"The Scots are putting it into law at the moment as is the Republic of Ireland. That means Northern Ireland could be the only place in these islands without a ban.
"We feel it is very important to send out a message that society disapproves of the minority of people who smoke in cars where children are present."
The Stormont Department of Health responded that protecting people, particularly children, from second-hand smoke is a key objective of its 10-year tobacco control strategy.
"The department will monitor the implementation and impact of legislation banning smoking in cars carrying children in other jurisdictions, with a view to considering how best to introduce similar measures in Northern Ireland," a spokeswoman said.
Police and local authorities in England and Wales have been told they are able to enforce the law immediately, but are thought to favour a period of educating drivers rather than enforcement action.
A National Police Chiefs' Council spokeswoman said: "As the existing smoke-free law extends to vehicles, police forces will be following guidance from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health by taking an educational, advisory and non-confrontational approach when enforcing the new legislation."
Dr Anil Namdeo, of Newcastle University, said that his research found that even driving with the windows open while smoking exposed those in the back to dangerous levels of chemicals – more than 100 times higher than recommended safety guidelines.
"People think that by opening the window they are clearing the air, but what actually happens is the air is sucked in from outside and pushes the smoke backwards, straight towards the passengers in the back seat," he said.

"They were both adopted. As in I adopted them as adults. You see, after I lost my biological parents in '76, I thought I could cope. But turns out i really missed having someone to tell me how to run my life so I adopted these two last year."
"Well, how did your biological parents die?"
"They didn't die, I lost them. At Disneyland."

The person probably heard it as "any major illnesses in your family" or something like that. The reason I say that is my mother died when I was five and she was adopted. When I am asked the question regarding illnesses, I have no idea what I may have a predisposition to on my maternal side. My mother's death was due to an accident, not an illness.
Still, a funny answer :)

Hiking in Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria
Explore snaking trails, cross huge canyons, climb peaks with bird's eye views of the surrounding countryside, discover volcanic landscapes, admire amazing waterfalls... Get to know Gran Canaria's impressive natural heritage - much of the island is a UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve.
Gran Canaria , one of the Canary Islands, is a paradise for hiking. The island is well known internationally for its array of sun and sand options. Now, however, we suggest a different facet of Gran Canaria for you to discover: its countryside. The best way to do this is to explore its many tracks and trails on foot. Almost 43% of this enclave in the Atlantic Ocean is protected countryside, and it also has 32 ecological areas with special protection. Enjoy all the options available on this island that has been called a "miniature continent" on account of its wealth of countryside and varied microclimates. Put on your boots and set out for adventure.
Any time of year is ideal to visit Gran Canaria, although spring is the ideal time for hiking. At this time it rains little and the temperature is excellent. You will also find clear blue skies and stunning landscapes with an abundance of flowers. Before setting out, check weather forecasts and take time to choose which route you want to do. This is important because, despite the relatively short distances, the island's relief is rugged and sometimes complicated. Over the course of just a few kilometres you can sometimes experience sudden changes in temperature, humidity and sunshine. This is why it is best to make for the local tourist office wherever you are based, to get all the relative information.
Gran Canaria is an island of contrasts. The north has broad, open spaces, gentle trails and relatively flat landscapes, ideal for easier walks. Meanwhile, in the centre and south the main mountain ranges make their presence felt, with deep canyons such as those of the Macizo del Suroeste Nature Reserve, rocky landscapes and impressive volcanic craters in the Cuenca de Tejeda Nature Reserve, as well as areas where the endemic flora and fauna play an especially important role, as is the case in the Ojeda, Inagua y Pajonales Nature Reserve, home to one of the largest pine forests on the Canary Islands.
In this part of the island, routes are generally quite demanding, with snaking trails and steep gradients running from mountainsides to deep canyons. In any case, the choice of trails is huge and there are options suitable for all levels: old royal cattle trails that have been recovered and now form part of Gran Canaria's heritage, gentle forest tracks, trails for experts only... These trails are all harmoniously integrated into their surroundings and respect the environment. You just have to choose which one best suits your shape and your requirements.
As always, it is a good idea to bear certain things in mind when heading out to hike: use a good pair of hiking boots that are waterproof and provide good support to the ankles; wear long sleeves and trousers; take a water bottle and walking poles; avoid walking at the hottest time of day or in bad weather; never leave the main trail and avoid short cuts; wear a hat; take a waterproof, especially in April and May, and use sun cream and lip balm.
Get ready to discover volcanoes, cascading clouds on the peaks, weird rock formations, an extraordinary wealth of flora and fauna, waterfalls, viewpoints, springs... Take your camera to capture some of the most beautiful spots you could imagine, on the magical island that is Gran Canaria.

Was Boba Fett a Powertech or a Mercenary? BioWare has updated its Star Wars: The Old Republic page with everything you need to know about Bounty Hunters, the class Empire players will turn to once they're done waving lightsabers around.
Star Wars: The Old Republic will allow bounty hunter hopefuls to don the distinctive armor and utilize the high-tech weaponry that made Boba Fett what he was several thousand years in the future. Apparently not a lot has changed technologically between The Old Republic and trilogy time. They've still got jet packs. They're still freezing people with Carbonite. The only thing missing is teleporters.
Sorry, that's Star Trek.
The Old Republic will let you live out your own unique Bounty Hunter experience, as long as you don't mind flying the same ship as all of the other hunters (the Kuat Drive Yards D5-Mantis Patrol Craft) and sharing the same spunky Nar Shaddaan orphan computer hacking prodigy as your sidekick.
Other than that, and the fact that you'll be sharing a similar overall storyline, the experience will be completely your own.

- Sauber news
Hulkenberg will bring consistency - KaltenbornChris Medland November 6, 2012 « Young Driver Test gets underway | Button wants flat super licence fee »
- Drivers:
- Nico Hülkenberg
- |
- Monisha Kaltenborn
- |
- Sergio Perez
- Teams:
- Alfa Romeo
Monisha Kaltenborn admits she is hoping Nico Hulkenberg will bring more consistency than Sergio Perez when he joins Sauber next year.
Hulkenberg has signed a one-year contract to replace Perez who is joining McLaren from 2013. While Perez has impressed with three podium finishes this season, since the announcement of his move he has been involved in incidents with other drivers on three occasions in the last four races, and failed to score in any of them.
With Perez receiving a ten second stop/go penalty in Abu Dhabi, Kaltenborn admitted that she hopes to get more consistency from Hulkenberg when he joins the team.
"That's a target we clearly have, and I don't think this has anything to do with Sergio signing up somewhere else," Kaltenborn told ESPN exclusively. "I think he's making his experience - it is his second season - and that's part of the package you have with this kind of driver. So I don't think there is any link over there but it is clearly one of our targets that next year we have to have more consistency."
While Perez failed to score for Sauber, Kamui Kobayashi brought home eight points in sixth place and Kaltenborn believes the team has a good chance of overhauling Mercedes in the constructors' championship.
"The points which we've gained now are extremely valuable for that fight. It gives is further confidence looking at the next track, which is not so bad for our car as it appears to be from the characteristics, and Sao Paulo we've historically not been so bad at but you never really know what can happen over there.
"So it gives us that confidence that we can still manage to close it, but we know that it's getting tougher and tougher because the occasions you have got left are just fewer."

Modern Bedroom With Orange Cabinet
This bedroom is alive with color: a bright orange cabinet and pillows, striped wallpaper, vibrant artwork. The geometric rug in black and gray is the calm, neutral anchor.
Visit Original Photo
Chic Country Bathroom With Wooden Ladder
A wooden ladder adds instant charm above the toilet, offering a place to hang a hand towel and a basket to store extra towels and any other bathroom necessities. See more of this bathroom's remodel here >>
Coastal Bathroom With Blue Floor
To use a dark color in a space and maintain a light, airy feel overall, focus the shade in one main area, like the floor, ceiling or an accent wall. This bathroom pairs navy floor tiles with white walls and countertops and a blonde wood vanity.
High-Gloss Brown Vanity Pops in Contemporary Bathroom
A rich brown vanity in a high-gloss finish makes a bold statement in this contemporary bathroom. The bathroom's walls, floors and glass-enclosed shower feature softer neutral hues, allowing the striking vanity to take center stage.
Gray Eclectic Bedroom With Yellow Lamp
The bedroom is all about the mix. The mix of fresh patterns and colorful textiles create a cozy, comfortable and beautiful place to sit back and relax. A headboard was installed using left-over yardage from a project. The close-knit chevron pattern creates an unexpected headboard for the bed. The black and white pattern is a complement to the black and white knit pillow that Kelley likes to cozy up on. At the foot of the bed, Kelley Carter has incorporated a textile from her travels: fabric from the Philippines that adds a vibrant display to the bed. The patterned textile is filled with meaning, a reflection of Kelley's own Filipino heritage.
Modern Home Office Is Light, Bright
A custom built-in desk and wall of shelves create tons of space in this modern home office. Large windows let in ample natural light, creating a pleasant work environment.
Open Plan Kitchen With Gray and White Granite Island
This home's open floor plan allows for easy transition between the kitchen and living room spaces, which share an all-over neutral color palette. The kitchen boasts a spacious island with a gray and white granite countertop, allowing room for food preparation and casual dining at the countertop stools.
Southwestern Living Room With Stone Fireplace
HGTV Design Star contestant Michael Moeller gave this living room a cozy cabin-like feel with a Southwestern-printed chair, warm wood trim and a rustic stone fireplace.
Rustic Neutral Bathroom with Exposed Beams and Stone Mosaic Floor
Exposed wood beams and a custom stone mosaic floor bring rustic charm to this bath. A luxurious, nickel-plated farmhouse style tub framed by an arched entrance becomes the charming focal point of the room.
Black and White Kitchen With Glass Pendants
The lines in this renovated kitchen are clean and simple so as not to overwhelm the small room. A slim island brings more cabinet and countertop space. The countertops' white brightens up the look.
Yellow Mediterranean Home Exterior
This sunny Mediterranean home is a historic gem in Coral Gables, Florida. Designers worked carefully (and got the architectural board's approval) to bring an updated, more functional design to its kitchen and other rooms.
Formal Dining Room With Gold Table Decor
Designer Robin LaMonte used more ornaments and even place settings to carry those beautiful blue and cream hues into the dining room. Here, the soft shades help balance the dark wood of the dining table and chairs, keeping the space light and airy.
Elegant Yet Festive Foyer for the Holidays
With yards of garland and fairy lights, the foyer of this Atlanta home becomes a visual treat at Christmastime. Cream-colored ornaments and ribbons complete the display and echo the neutral tones in the stone flooring.
Dining Room Boasts Glam White & Gold Centerpiece
A glamorous white and gold centerpiece is key to dressing up this formal dining room for Christmas. Blue velvet gourds give the design a touch of color and echo the hues of the painting over the fireplace.
Double Doors Enlivened By Christmas Decor
Double doors shine all on their own, but designer Robin LaMonte paired these beauties with bright red bows and matching wreaths to make her client's front porch even more special. A doormat monogrammed with an "I" nods to the family's last name and keeps the elements at bay.
Outdoor Living Space Complements the Home and Existing Landscape
This outdoor living space was designed to reflect the home's interior design. The overlapping decks provide smooth transitions throughout the space and the tiered levels create visual points of interest.
Swimming Pool With Hardscape Levels, Waterfall Features and Striped Lounge Chairs
A large stone tile patio encircles this glamorous swimming pool with in-pool waterfall features. Striped lounge chairs create a space for relaxing, and the striped cushions complement the blue of the water and green of the palm trees. Small neutral tiles on the raised water features add a beautiful texture against the water.
Tropical Home Exterior WIth Textured Stone, Lavish Swimming Pool and Palm Trees
The walls surrounding the swimming pool feature a textured look, and neutral tones complement the stone exterior of the house. Raised water features within the pool add to the beautiful levels in the landscaping. Palm trees give the space the perfect tropical flavor.
Sitting Area Complete With Cool Breezes
With openings on two walls, this sitting area allows cool evening breezes to filter inside. In turn, the space is comfortable no matter what time of day.

Italy is never far from my heart - or my stomach. I had an amazing Italian mamma with a sleight of hand and no recipe in sight. Gnocchi, lasagna, cabbage rolls (a nod to her Istrian ancestry), muzzeto, polenta - she made it all effortlessly and we ate it thoughtlessly, thinking that everyone ate the same way. A favourite was her weekend pizza, the dough slightly thick and chewy, homemade tomato sauce adding a delicious sweetness.
It wasn't until years later, on my first trip to Italy, that I discovered another kind of pizza - the thin crackly crusted variety a la Napoli. It wasn't long before wood burning pizza seemed to make an appearance everywhere that a wood-burning oven could be squeezed into a restaurant corner, most famously at Spago in Beverly Hills.
Like any transplanted dish, the further the distance, the greater the risk of loss of authenticity. That's why I love Pizzeria Libretto. Chef Rocco Agostino and proprietor Max Rimaldi are committed to creating a truly genuine pizza of Neapolitan proportions. That commitment meant an investment in a 5000lb. oven shipped from Italy, and made by a third generation oven maker from Naples. It's a thing of beauty: the opening quite small to preserve heat, continually fed by wood to maintain the 900 degree heat required to make a beautiful pizza in 90 seconds.
The real deal
The wood not only feeds the oven; it adds a warm and rustic touch to the restaurant
While the menu is primarily focused on pizza, there is a carefully edited selection of antipasti, including amazing warm olives, and a salumi menu offering fare from local chefs.
Pizza is the star of the show at Libretto
I can remember the first time I had pizza with fresh greens on top. It was at a roadside osteria in Italy, where my cousins and our family had stopped after a day in the mountains. I remember thinking how absolutely fantastic that the mix of fresh and baked was, and Pizzeria Libretto's version does Italy proud.

Lincoln Memorial Hospital earns designation as Emergent Stroke Ready
Send a link to a friend
[July 07, 2014]
LINCOLN – Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital was named an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital by the Illinois
Department of Public Health – one of an estimated 20 critical-access
hospitals in the state.
The Illinois Stroke Law, passed in 2009 and updated in January,
identifies hospitals capable of providing emergency stroke care and
directs emergency medical services personnel to transport possible
stroke patients to those hospitals.
"This designation ensures that all stroke patients, regardless of
where they live, have access to rapid care within the narrow
treatment window," said Dolan Dalpoas, president of Abraham Lincoln
Memorial Hospital, an affiliate of Memorial Health System.
"Stroke designation for our hospital now allows local access to the
care needed beginning the moment a patient enters the hospital to
the time a life-saving, clot-busting drug is administered within the
recommended 60-minute treatment window."
To be eligible for the stroke-ready hospital designation, Abraham
Lincoln adjusted its emergency stroke care policies and procedures
to align with nationally recognized, evidence-based standards, such
as those from the American Heart/Stroke Association.
Each designated hospital has around-the-clock video-conferencing
capability with stroke-trained neurologists. ALMH launched a
partnership withMemorial Medical Center in Springfield, another
Memorial Health System affiliate, to offer video-conferencing
technology for stroke care in 2012.
"Our partnership with Memorial Medical Center gives our community
24/7 access to experienced stroke-trained neurologists who will work
with us to evaluate and administer the most effective and
appropriate treatments for people suffering from acute stroke or
other neurological conditions," Dalpoas said.
[to top of second column]
"This means more people in our community will have access to
neurologists and will receive the life-saving care they need
close to home," he said. "Any patients who may need a higher
level of care can be quickly identified and transferred to
Memorial Medical Center to receive additional treatments
including minimally invasive neurointerventional procedures.
Everyone else will be able to stay in their community and close
to home."
Memorial Medical Center is certified as a primary stroke center
by The Joint Commission. The certification recognizes Memorial
for "exceptional efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke
care," according to The Joint Commission.
"With stroke, time is brain. Each second a patient waits to be
treated denies the brain of much needed blood and oxygen," said
Dr. Katherine Anderson, the medical director in ALMH's emergency
department. "The cells and tissues in the brain begin to die,
causing what can be irreversible damage resulting in
disabilities like paralysis on one side of the body, loss of
speech and many other deficits."
[Text received; ANGELA STOLTZENBURG,
Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital is located at 200 Stahlhut Drive in Lincoln. For more

"Xerox's assessments are particularly sophisticated." states Louella Fernandes, Principal Analyst at Quocirca "ranging from quick basic assessments to detailed, interactive and predictive user-based analytics. Worthy of note are Xerox's Document Analytics and Process Analytics services, which evaluate paper-intensive processes and identify opportunities for digitisation and automation, providing the foundation for more detailed workflow assessments."
Quocirca cites Xerox's "strong vision for innovation around its ConnectKey MFP ecosystem which holds great promise as a key enabler for workflow automation for both SMBs and large enterprises.

One of Hollywood's most glamorous couples, Eva Longoria and basketball star Tony Parker, are headed for the rocks.
Longoria, star of "Desperate Housewives," filed for divorce Wednesday from Parker, point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, according to People magazine. The documents were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, one day after a rep for the actress called a report that Parker filed divorce docs in Texas "100 percent false."
"It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce," Longoria tweeted. "We love each other deeply and pray for each other's happiness."

About Group have the sort of mixed bag line-up that could almost only exist as a side-project and won't be called a 'super-group' any time soon. They comprise Hot Chip frontman Alexis Taylor, sometime Spiritualized guitarist John Coxon, keys and electronics journeyman Pat Thomas and, their most senior member, Charles Hayward, drummer in experimental post-punkers This Heat. Other than a general propensity towards tuneful experimentation it isn't the sort of line-up that in itself offers up any specific clues as to the musical fruits of their collaboration, but the relaxed (although never soporific) pseudo-improvisations on Start and Complete share a cohesive sonic vocabulary and exactly the sort of vibe you would expect of an album recorded entirely within one day and with little preparation. It's a peculiarly subdued brand of spontaneity that About Group muster and one for which pleasantness is expertly done as it is overdone.
The sound of plaintive electric piano and organs dominate the album, playing the melodies which Taylor, the primary songwriter, wrote as the basis for the whole record. Sympathetic drumming and dry toned guitar are the most common bedfellows with the odd flourish of electronic noise a reminder of Taylor's dayjob. There's nary an in-your-face melody or a particularly abrasive sound to be found, the odd classic rock guitar crunch aside. Most tracks have a vaguely jazzy feel, nowhere more so than on the extended jam of Terry Riley cover 'You're No Good', but there are moments where this improvised playing merely indulges the jam-band clichés; see the drumming pauses, organ fills and guitar licks of the latter section of the aforementioned song. To their credit, however, it remains an interesting take on the tape-loop experimentations of the original, particularly the dissonant layer of organ which relocates the eerie static of the original's intro to the end of the song. Not to mention the fact that Alexis Taylor totally owns the soul-pop core of the song, assimilating the two original vocal parts into one.
However, it's Taylor's own melodic prowess that shines brightest throughout. Musically the gorgeous 'Don't Worry' is probably not a million miles away from Rod Stewart's swaggering ballads, but Alexis Taylor's gently reassuring vocals certainly are and the wah-wah guitar noodling, which would otherwise border on tasteless is somehow tempered by the languorous feel. Likewise, following track 'With Each New Day' transcends the clumsy guitar twiddling by virtue of a gorgeous almost imperceptible swell (perhaps more of a blush) throughout the entire song, from the submerged tremor of the spare guitar strums to Charles Hayward's subtle drumming variations culminating in flurries of hi-hat. If it's possible to tenderly drill a snare drum Hayward achieves it on 'Perspective', the nuanced playing all the more appreciable thanks to the raw, but clean, production. The song itself is another electric piano and organ heavy bit of sappiness, which actually sounds like it resolves itself in the following the track, the very brief and focussed uplift of 'There's A Way To End This Run Of Doubt'.
The downside to About Group's approach to recording Start and Complete is their over-reliance on a few specific sounds. The record's cohesion of style and mood becomes a drawback over an album's length. While no parts were set in stone before recording, it sounds like the musicians' different instruments/roles were rather strictly adhered to. While About Group are never less than tuneful, too many of the songs feature plaintive melodies played on electric piano and organ, which unsurprisingly starts to weary. Where the melodies are occasionally less memorable or affecting there's a tendency compensate with incongruous sounds, like the crude organ undermining 'Dreamt I Saw You Late Last Night'. The eccentric organ trills of 'Repair Man' are its only distinguishing feature, but on the other hand 'Sinking Song' stands out stylistically with its appropriately rippling organs and submerged pounding toms, but lacks the melodic chops. If the album is listened to in sequence the title-track (12 of 14) is just a paler version of earlier tracks with tokenistic off-key piano. Thankfully, 'Rough and Smooth' is both remarkably intimate, just Taylor's vocals and simple organ for it first half, and also possessed of a restrained, but spontaneous, extravagance provided by unexpected runs up and down the piano. It's goes a little way to redressing the front-loading.
It's easy to wonder whether Start and Complete might have felt closer to the latter word of the title if more time had been spent on collaborative writing and recording, but conversely that may have just sacrificed the casual and relaxed spontaneity which is About Group's greatest charm, while also diluting Taylor's songwriting. Essential only for Alexis Taylor's fanbase? Yes, but an intriguing and easily loveable record for many more.

Without warning, Deathwing the Destroyer has emerged from the bowels of Deepholm in the Elemental Plane, unleashing a wave of destruction that has changed Azeroth forever. As the Horde and the Alliance strive to persevere, increasing hostilities between the two factions threaten to leave the world vulnerable to Deathwing's schemes.
This soundtrack's broad spectrum of melodies embodies Azeroth's uncertain future: the dire rumblings of war; the tortured lamentations of a world under siege; and the faint murmurs of hope that endure within Azeroth's brave heroes, urging them to act before Deathwing's shadow engulfs all.

Are you ready? Let's go!
The be-ootiful Schla La Las are back with a second demo offering, featuring three happy, sunny, smiley saturday night dancing tunes. Fuzzy guitars, harmonies, girls shouting, and (wooo!) a handclap break! I love handclaps. And I love coordinated band costumes. Especially in black and white with supercool millinery. These girls should be made into action figures.
'Are You Ready?' is an anthem for all the girls getting ready to hit the town... lipstick on wine glasses, jewellery boxes with beads spilling out, waiting for nail polish to dry as the taxi pulls up outside... it's excited, disarmingly honest, gorgeously simple femme-pop.
There's quite a lot of bands doing this kind of stuff at the moment, from The Detroit Cobras and The Come Ons to the 5678's and The Pipettes, but The Schla La Las are still a great example of the genre. It would be nice to hear what they would come up with given the chance to create some more polished recordings, and with several summer festival appearances on the cards maybe that chance will come sooner rather than later.

SkyCity sees Philippines potential, says no disclosure needed
SkyCity Entertainment Group, which recently quit its stake in the Christchurch casino, says the market in the Philippines is "attractive" but nothing needs to be told to shareholders yet.
The company made a statement to the stock exchange comes after chief executive Nigel Morrison told the New Zealand Herald the company has sent top executives to Manila and might make a move this year.
He told the paper SkyCity has enough strength in its balance sheet to make the investment, which was reported at some $200 million.
"We are always looking at ways to grow the business beyond our existing markets and proactively review new opportunities to create shareholder value," Mr Morrison says in a statement.
"Whilst we have visited the Philippines and consider the market to be attractive, there is nothing that requires disclosure to our shareholders."
The casino operator has already signalled plans for a $A300 million upgrade of its Adelaide operation and is waiting on the outcome of an auditor-general's inquiry into building a $350 million convention centre in Auckland before going ahead with that investment.
Shares in the Auckland-based company were unchanged at $3.97 yesterday and have gained 5.8 percent this year.

The Axis of Evil, the latest installment of Big Finish's Bernice Summerfield audio series (featuring the further adventures of the former Virgin Doctor Who: The New Adventures novel companion) by Paul Cornell, is out... but they've pulled a fast one. Indeed, "The Axis of Evil" isn't actually the story's title, as Big Finish have managed to keep hidden the real title - it gives away an important clue about the story. SPOILER WARNING... highlight the following text for details, and remember, you have been warned!!! The actual title of the serial is Death and the Daleks, not "The Axis of Evil," and features the true masters of the Fifth Axis, the dreaded Daleks. The back cover blurb reads as follows: "The Braxiatel Collection has been occupied by the Fifth Axis. Who seem to be led by a figure from Bernice's past. Behind him lies the evil time travelling power of the Daleks. As Bernice's friends rise up to end the occupation, Bernice embarks on a desperate rescue mission, to somewhere she last went long ago. Braxiatel confronts his destiny, Jason risks all for his love and lives are shattered and lost as the battle of the Braxiatel reaches it's epic conclusion. Our heroes will live free or die..."
