Big unions opposed to automated checkout lanes spend lavishly on CA Rep. Fiona Ma (D-San Francisco

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

no automatic union dues

Follow the money that flows from the Big Unions to CA politicians. It’s time that CA voters pass a law that stops automatic removal of union dues by employers who then pay the unions.

Change the law so the unions have to get the union dues directly from members.

That would sever the stream of money that flows into the politicians pocket book via unions. DrCameronJackson@gmail.com (more…)

Trojan Horse of Obama-Care in 2012 – who best to slay it? Romney with Romney-Care,Gingrich with individual mandate, MD Ron Paul or ??

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Trojan Horse 300x240 Trojan Horse of Obama Care in 2012 who best to slay it? Romney with Romney Care,Gingrich with individual mandate, MD Ron Paul or ??

Trojan Horse Obama-Care

Let’s keep focused on the ball: repeal Obama-Care. That is the goal. And all sorts of things will flow from the repeal.

With no Obama-Care the government cannot wipe out private health insurance. With no Obama-Care the takeover of one sixth of the economy ceases.

Remember, Obama-Care — a Trojan Horse in hour midst — already spends big bucks.

Who best will slay the Trojan Horse of Obama-Care? Romney the business man who pragmatically solves problems? Romney on the surface talks like a conservative but … Visionary Newt who defended Reagon and his policies on C-SPAN in the early 1980s for hours in the evening with the cameras rolling and nobody except a handful freshman Republicans there? Energetic and no baggage Rick Santorum who socked it to Romney on Romney-Care and who strongly opposes Marxist and socialists world wide?

You got to admit that the MD old man Ron Paul knows from personal experience how government has harmed the practise of medicine. Ron Paul is worth 2-3 million and has zero money in stocks. Paul has his money invested in gold.

So more than likely Paul would support a strong dollar and return to the gold standard. What about a Ron Paul and Rick Santorum ticket?

Dog owners are positive force on Santa Cruz beaches

Live Oak Beach Club

DOGS BEACHN Dog owners are positive force on Santa Cruz beaches

Frolicking dogs at beach

I live at the beach in Live Oak, CA and am very aware of some of the problems associated with dogs on the beach and understand the concerns addressed in a recent article.

I also believe the incidents are infrequent and in the 10 years I’ve lived here, I have seen a positive change in the attitude of the local dog owner community.

The beach here has long been recognized as an off-leash haven, despite the law, which also prohibits fireworks, littering, glass containers, alcohol and bonfires. I have never seen efforts by the county to monitor activities that include these.

Why punish an entire community of happy frolicking dogs and responsible dog owners for the actions of a few rotten tomatoes? There are other ways to address this issue such as off-leash hours or joining community efforts to promote public awareness and pro-active measures in keeping our beaches and parks clean and safe for everyone.

One such group is Live Oak Beach Club for which information can be found on Facebook.

It’s not unusual to see a group of these local dog owners picking up the trash and broken glass left in smoldering bonfires by drunken revelers from the night before. And no, they don’t leave their waste in bags.

FirenzeSage: Open wide and get defrauded … [dentist & paper clips]
Sunday, January 29th, 2012

paper clip root canal

NEW BEDFORD, Mass.— A former dentist in Massachusetts has pleaded guilty to Medicaid fraud. He used paper clips instead of stainless steel posts in root canals.

Michael Clair is scheduled to be sentenced next Monday. He plead guilty last week in New Bedford Superior Court to a variety of charges, including defrauding Medicaid of $130,000 assault and battery, illegally prescribing prescription drugs and witness intimidation. Paper clips which cause pain and infection are cheaper.

Mass medication of children with fluorides SiFs in drinking water & EPA admits no research shows SiFs are safe. NaF shown to be safe was replaced with SiFs with no safety record. What to do…
Saturday, January 28th, 2012

SiFs or NaF flurides?

What can citizens and parents do to reduce ADHD, Autistic Spectrum, intellectual disability and other developmental disorders?

Make sure that all children have safe, healthy water to drink.

no chemicals water

Find out what your community puts in the water children drink.

Communities switched from NaF — which has a track record of safety — to use of SiFs — which have zero record of safety. Two huge studies of children (280,000 in Mass. and 150,000 in New York state) show elevated iron with use of fluoridated water.

Perhaps communities should use of NaF instead of SiF to fluoridate water? Might safer water remove or reduce symptoms associated with lead poisoning?

Go to Keepers of the Well.com. Or contact Jeff Green 800 728-3833 greenjeff@cox.net for more information. Let’s do all we can to see that all children and adults drink healthy water.

Friday, January 27th, 2012

detained in Egrypt

Six Americans working for publicly funded U.S. organizations promoting democracy in Egypt have been barred from leaving the country. The U.S. demands that that Cairo’s new military rulers stop “endangering American lives”.

Among those hit by travel bans – one of those targeted called it “de facto detention” – include a son of the U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Other foreign staffers are also detained. How come he was detained?

Congressman Sam Farr’s failure to raise $ govt payments to physicians
Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Farr fails to change MD's designation

Congressman Sam Farr has failed to get local MD’s and other health professionals paid equivalent to urban MDs. Sam Farr represents Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.

Is Sam Farr simply ineffective? You decide:

Payment to health providers: Various health professionals (including MD physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists) in Santa Cruz & Monterey Counties are paid much less per patient than physicians in urban areas such as San Jose and near by cities.

So what? It matters because MD’s and other health providers do not want to take on more patients when paid only through federal government. Hence, the pool of doctors and other health providers available for older citizens is shrinking and shrinking.

This has been an on-going problem for years. Repeatedly, Democrat congressman Sam Farr has been asked to get the designation changed so that Santa Cruz, CA and Monterey are not considered ‘rural’.

Congressman Sam Farr has failed — and continues to fail — to get the designation changed.

Back in 2007, Sam Farr said in public meetings that the best way to increase reimbursements for our ‘rural’ medical doctor MDs was to vote in the Democrats.

Well, Sam Farr got what he said was necessary: Since 2008, the Democrats have been in control. And the Democrats have passed just about everything they want.

Despite control by the Democrats, Sam Farr has still never gotten the designation changed so that local MD doctors are paid equivalent to near by urban areas.

So, Sam Farr failed under the Republicans and he has failed under the Democrats to get the designation changed so our MD’s and health professionals are paid equivalent to those in San Jose and urban areas.

How much failure by Sam Farr should voters accept? Enough is enough seems to me.

What say you?

Firenze Sage: TSA could not find it… [woman lawyer boards plane with loaded gun]
Saturday, January 21st, 2012

A 65-year-old woman lawyer was arrested for carrying a loaded handgun aboard an American Airlines jet at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Kenney carries a handgun for protection but had forgotten that it was in a computer bag she carried on board the plane.

Screeners at a security checkpoint had detected a gun in a woman’s carry-on bag but she “picked up the bag and left the checkpoint before the screening process was over,” said Greg Soule, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, which operates the checkpoints. When TSA screeners spot a gun in a bag, they are supposed to seize the bag and notify police, he said.

Officials got a photo of Kenney from a closed-circuit video system and showed it to airport employees. She was taken into custody by DFW Airport police about an hour and 40 minutes later, Soule said.

Kenney was removed from Flight 2385, scheduled to fly to Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport. The flight, with 128 passengers, was delayed for just over an hour and passengers were screened again before the plane took off, American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said.

Firenze Sage: The TSA is a huge, dangerous joke …
Saturday, January 21st, 2012

A soldier arrested on Dec. 31 at the Midland, Texas, airport with C4 explosives in his bag said he probably carried the bomb material on a flight from North Carolina to Texas.

Screeners delayed the soldier after finding and confiscating a smoke grenade but let him on that first flight.

Firenze Sage: Women and children last … [Italian boat captain]
Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Italian captain in life raft

Francesco Schettino, captain of the doomed Costa Concordia that partially sunk on Friday, said he did not abandon ship, according to a transcript published by Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper and reported by the Associated Press.

“I did not abandon a ship with 100 people on board … the ship suddenly listed and we were thrown into the water,” Schettino reportedly said during a recorded telephone conversation with Capt. Gregorio De Falco of the Italian coast guard in Livorno.

The transcript also showed the coast guard official urgently commanding the captain to return to the cruise ship after he had abandoned it.

“You go on board! Is that clear? Do you hear me?” the Coast Guard officer shouted as Schettino sat safe in a life raft and frantic passengers struggled to escape the listing ship. “It is an order. Don’t make any more excuses. You have declared ‘Abandon ship.’ Now I am in charge.”
