Recognizing A Stroke--Important Signs To Look For
Some useful information I thought I'd pass along.
DOESN'T HURT TO READ THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN.
THE "TONGUE" DEAL IS AN ADDED SIGN......
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters...S, T, R
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
Neurologist say that if they can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours they can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. The trick is getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
To remember the "3" steps, STR -- Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK . to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke}
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
A cardiologist says if everyone who read this story passes it along to 10 other people, you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Press Release-One Care For All
Dear Universal Health Care Supporter:
This week there will be an historic vote on Universal Health Care(Senate Bill 840) in the California Assembly. SB 840 will provide comprehensive, high quality health insurance for all Californians.
If the Assembly passes SB 840, it will go to Governor Schwarzenegger�s desk for his signature. If it goes on his desk and he signs it, we will have a general plan for universal health insurance by the end of the year.
Or, if he vetoes it, then we all know that Governor Schwarzenegger stands against real universal health insurance.
Either way we're one big step closer to universal health insurance.
Please take a moment click here and tell your Assembly member and the Governor to vote Yes on SB 840.
We're making it happen!
Thank you for helping heal California.
Sincerely,

When Push Comes To Shove: Health Advocates Take Action
One Care Now Press Release: June 5, 2006
Dear Supporter of HCA and SB 840,
Health Care for All – California is launching a massive, historic grassroots campaign to achieve universal, single-payer health insurance.
And the campaign, called OneCareNow, needs your financial support.
Ten years after its founding, HCA has grown from a small core of committed single- payer activists into a statewide network of 30 chapters with over 10,000 members and supporters, such as you, in nearly 200 cities around the state! We have worked hard to educate Californians about single payer health care coverage, but as we continue to suffer from an ailing, failing health care system, we know there is still much more to do.
This summer, the OneCareNow Campaign and a powerful coalition of organizations will propel this process to a new level – and to inevitable success.
OneCareNow means one plan and one high standard of care for all Californians. It means full care for all, for life, for less. The OneCareNow Campaign is dedicated to building public pressure to demand passage of Senate Bill 840, authored by Senator Sheila Kuehl. The response from other organizations and legislators to the OneCareNow campaign has been swift and enthusiastic. But to succeed, we’ll also need your help now!
OneCareNow activities are already underway: a one million-signature petition drive for SB 840, a OneCareNow Campaign educational film production, a new OneCareNow.org website, and, most importantly, mobilizing a 365-city/365-day campaign of public education and activism.
The 365-city campaign, which starts on August 12, 2006, is bold and simple. There will be at least one “event” every day for a year, each in a different city, beginning with less populated cities and towns in California and ending with the largest, Los Angeles. Throughout the year, we will be educating people about SB 840. A week after the Los Angeles event, on August 19, 2007, supporters from the 365 cities—and elsewhere in the state—will hold a mammoth rally in Sacramento for universal, single payer health insurance.
The coalition helping us organize the 365 cities includes the League of Women Voters of California, the California Alliance for Retired Americans, and Health Access. But, as we know, massive public education and mobilization requires equally massive financial support!
Right now, we are producing Phase I campaign materials that HCA chapters and partners will use throughout the campaign (e.g., 1000 tabling banner sets and petitioning kits, 1000 press packets, 500 newspaper ad kits, and 500 spot radio CD’s). We are also enhancing our OneCareNow.org website to be an effective educational tool for supporters throughout the state.
Help us build this grassroots movement to pass SB 840 and make single payer health care in California a reality. Go to www.OneCareNow.org, sign the petition and get involved.
To volunteer go to www.OneCareNow.org/volunteer.html
Then help us with a generous financial contribution to the OneCareNow Campaign.
We ask you to make a tax-deductible contribution of $100* to this historic campaign today . . . more if you can afford it . . . less if you cannot. Above all, please give to this exciting OneCareNow Campaign. Contributors of $100 or more will receive a gold OneCareNow Campaign pin.
We also ask you to forward this message to your family and friends to let them know about the OneCareNow Campaign and what they can do to help.
To contribute, click on http://www.onecarenow.org/donate.html. Please consider making a monthly reoccuring donation.
Thank you again for your energy, commitment, and support.
Together, we can make quality health care a reality for all Californians.

Rootering Out The Rooter Man...
The scene was chaotic as firefighters from several companies responded to a man buried in a trench shortly before 11 a.m. this morning in Sherman Oaks.
The unidentified 25-year-old man was working at a construction site digging out sewer lines near Chandler Boulevard and Woodman Avenue when the walls of the six foot deep trench collapsed in on him.
Firefighters used plywood to shore up the sides of the trench and using a hand held excavator managed to dig him out. He was listed in critical condition but has since been upgraded to fair condition.
OSHA is expected to investigate whether the trench had been shored up correctly during construction.
A call put into the Rooter company led to an immediate hang up, which this reporter took as 'no comment'!
The photographer seen wearing the baseball cap and red shirt is none other than the infamous News Press/Burbank Leader's TAMMY ABBOTT, who eventually climbed out of a second story window onto scaffolding to get some prize winning shots.

Worth Our Weight In Gold...
At long last someone has finally come out with a study that links 'housewives' to the working class people all across the nation.
It's about damn time someone recognized that this segment of hard working women are worth their weight in gold!
After comparing the every day chores of people who are hired to do these very same chores, laundry, child care, oh, the list is endless, stay at home mom's wages put us in the six figures according to this new study.

TSA Has A Sense Of Humor?
With all the stories that have come and gone and have yet to be written about the Transportation Security Authority, someone has had the foresight to keep a running tally of all the humorous aspects of life as a security official.
If you visit the screeners website and go to the left column you will find a plethora of satire, comics and other things that tickle their own damn fancy and are sure to delight yours.
If you have a chance to take a browse, maybe, just maybe, the next time you go through the airport and undergo their scrutiny, you will find yourself feeling less serious with an undeniable urge to giggle.

The Fat Get Fatter When It Comes To Health Care...
Blue Cross is under fire once again and it's about time...again.
A lawsuit filed in California recently against Blue Cross, claims that premium paying members are being dropped like bad meat from their health plans due to 'irregularities'in their original applications.
Not only are these members plans being canceled, they're being cancelled retroactively leaving many, who have had treatments costing upwards in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, in financial straights, often leading to their losing their homes along with their life savings.
So you have to ask yourself this? How safe is my health coverage?
Having personally been denied coverage through Blue Cross due to having taken two different prescription, Wellbutrin (an antidepressant also used to help smokers quit smoking) and Previcid (an antacid commonly prescribed by doctors for heartburn), neither of which are any type of heroic life saving medicines, I know the difficulties many of these people face.
Having never suffered from any major illness in my life I was flabbergasted when the denial letter showed up.
Who knew that too much spicey food could turn into such a fiasco? Had I known then what I know now I would have bought another bottle of tums and called it a day.
What it really boils down to is profit.
Blue Cross falls under the wing of WellPoint, Inc. who, in their latest financial report, boasted a 20% increase in their first quarter profits.
Well, even if you're a math dork, it's not hard to figure out that if you can pick and choose what health benefits you'll pay out and what you won't as far as independant healthcare coverage goes it's easy to report an increase in profit.
Duh!
Hopefully this will add fuel to Senator Sheila Kuehl's SB 840, a bill that would introduce a universal health plan for every resident in California.
One of the largest grassroots organizations Health Care For All is rallying folks to get involved and be a part of the solution rather than letting the big money making mongers get fatter.
The simple fact is, if you ever find yourself in the situation where you are without health care due to employment change or lay off and apply to a company such as Blue Cross, every doctors file will be scrutinized under a microscope. Every medicine, ache and pain, filled prescription may just become your own prescription for disaster.

Not only are these members plans being canceled, they're being cancelled retroactively leaving many, who have had treatments costing upwards in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, in financial straights, often leading to their losing their homes along with their life savings.
So you have to ask yourself this? How safe is my health coverage?
Having personally been denied coverage through Blue Cross due to having taken two different prescription, Wellbutrin (an antidepressant also used to help smokers quit smoking) and Previcid (an antacid commonly prescribed by doctors for heartburn), neither of which are any type of heroic life saving medicines, I know the difficulties many of these people face.
Having never suffered from any major illness in my life I was flabbergasted when the denial letter showed up.
Who knew that too much spicey food could turn into such a fiasco? Had I known then what I know now I would have bought another bottle of tums and called it a day.
What it really boils down to is profit.
Blue Cross falls under the wing of WellPoint, Inc. who, in their latest financial report, boasted a 20% increase in their first quarter profits.
Well, even if you're a math dork, it's not hard to figure out that if you can pick and choose what health benefits you'll pay out and what you won't as far as independant healthcare coverage goes it's easy to report an increase in profit.
Duh!
Hopefully this will add fuel to Senator Sheila Kuehl's SB 840, a bill that would introduce a universal health plan for every resident in California.
One of the largest grassroots organizations Health Care For All is rallying folks to get involved and be a part of the solution rather than letting the big money making mongers get fatter.
The simple fact is, if you ever find yourself in the situation where you are without health care due to employment change or lay off and apply to a company such as Blue Cross, every doctors file will be scrutinized under a microscope. Every medicine, ache and pain, filled prescription may just become your own prescription for disaster.

Tell Us Something We Don't Already Know...
The current state of health care is in shambles! If you don't have health insurance you're pretty much in the hands of God.
And, God forbid anyone applying for health insurance has had any health history in the past few years. You're pretty much screwed if you have if you've seen a doctor and they wrote something in your file because anything will be used against you.
It's getting harder and harder to prove that you're going to live through anything harder than heartburn or any other minor symptom that crosses your path.
According to a news report by Reuters:
Many middle-income Americans lack insurance: study
Tue Apr 25, 10:20 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 40 percent of Americans making between $20,000 and $40,000 a year went without insurance for at least part of the year last year, according to a study published on Tuesday.
The research by The Commonwealth Fund also found that 20 percent of working adults are paying off medical debt -- often $2,000 or more -- and 60 percent of uninsured adults with chronic illnesses such as heart disease skip pills to save money.
The Commonwealth Fund researchers called the 40 percent figure a "dramatic and rapid increase from 2001," when 28 percent of people in this moderate income bracket were uninsured.
The group, which does the survey every other year, also found that 67 percent of the 48 million going without insurance were in families where at least one person worked full-time.
"The jump in uninsured among those with modest incomes is alarming, particularly at a time when our economy has been improving," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis, who helped write the study.
"If we don't act soon to expand coverage to the uninsured, the health of the U.S. population, the productivity of our workforce, and our economy are at risk."
The Fund, a private research group focusing on health care issues, surveyed more than 4,000 people by telephone for the report.
It found that people without health insurance were more likely to go without recommended cancer, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings. For instance, 18 percent of adults aged 50 to 64 who lack insurance had a colon cancer screening in the past five years compared to 56 percent of insured adults.
"For an uninsured person who is unlucky enough to get sick, it is easy to see how quickly they can fall into a downward spiral of debt, forgone care, and poorer health," Sara Collins, Commonwealth Fund senior program officer, said in a statement.
The study found that 21 percent of the adults surveyed between August and January had unpaid medical bills.
More than a third said they either had medical bill problems in the past year or were paying off medical debt. Of these, more than 60 percent were insured.
Several reports on people who lack insurance in the United States have shown that they do not have to regular doctors and often rely on emergency care, which in turn drives up costs.
The Commonwealth survey found that 35 percent of uninsured adults with chronic conditions visited an emergency room in 2005, stayed in the hospital overnight, or both, compared to 16 percent of patients with a chronic condition who were steadily insured.
According to many reports such as this, many people are going without basic care but, one organization in California is on a path to change that.
One of the largest grassroots organizations,
health care for all is giving the government a run for their money.
For anyone who has lost their insurance, who is uninsured or is using benefits under Cobra payments, it might just be worthwhile to look into this group and help them rally the government to take a better look at who will succumb to the illness of no insurance.

The Naked Truth...
Owning a home often requires us to procure the services of professionals to repair, remodel and install certain amenities.
Many of us have witnessed what shall be referred to as 'the-butt-crack-syndrome', the subject of many jokes, but one carpenter as reported by CBS2/KCAL9's news website has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for those of us debating who to hire for our household maintenance chores.
Maybe he'll suffer for his antics or maybe "Desperate Housewives" will come a calling. That would sure add a new plot line to their show!
CBS2/KCAL9's news website article:
(AP) OAKLAND, Calif. A carpenter who keeps his clothes clean by working in the nude was arrested after a client returned home early and found him building bookcases in the buff.
Percy Honniball, 50, was charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure this week for the October incident.
He told officers he stripped before crawling under the client's house to do electrical work because he didn't want to soil his clothes, police said.
Honniball said Thursday that working in the nude gave him a better range of motion and that a skilled craftsman can work clothing — and injury — free.
"In certain situations such as demolitions where you are smashing rock you want to be clothed and protected because this rock can harm you," he said.
Honniball was caught working naked in Berkeley three times in the last six years and put on probation for violating a city ordinance. Honniball said he doesn't plan to do work in his birthday suit again.
Police said he apologized to the startled homeowner, but was fired. The homeowner paid Honniball for the finished work, but deducted $200.
"He kept out that amount to change his locks," Oakland Police Officer Jesse Grant said.

Weird Headline...
"CIA AGENT FIRED FOR LEAKING"
Okay, if I didn't know what the story was about, I would have to assume that somehow he/she accidentally punched a hole in him/herself, and much like the wicked witch of the west was quickly losing air. Hell, if that's the case why fire him/her if all that will be left is a pile of dressed up skin lying on the floor?
Or, I wonder, could this have been a bathroom incident. Maybe he/she simply couldn't hold it anymore.
Yes, headlines can be deceiving!

Theatre News...
“Triple Hip - Hipsters want their theater skewed, shaken, stirred.
Show(s) how cool, unconventional theater is done. ” ~ by DON SHIRLEY ~ City Beat Magazine-
“Theater is seldom considered hipster territory. But I felt hipper-than-thou after …My Saturday quest for hipness began at [Inside] the Ford at 2 p.m. –The Submission and The Future Is in Eggs – two related, absurdist, ’50s one-acts by Eugene Ionesco – were the essence of theatrical cool, (an) inventive revival for Zoo District”
L.A. WEEKLY Review: GO- “THE SUBMISSION. Ionesco’s swipe at convention and conformity is cloaked in the meaningless and nonsensical, making it humorous as well as painfully baffling. Kristi Webber’s direction is brilliant, artfully balancing the physical comedy and adding some stylish directorial touches…. Her choice of a playground set and proverbial white-picket fence evokes an atmosphere that’s part circus, part Twilight Zone.” “An excellent cast”

No Shit Sherlock...
Well someone in the Catholic church is finally ready to admit that the use of condoms can save a gazillion lives in the fight against AIDS.
Of couse many Catholics out there are already on the downward spiral to hell for (gulp) using them without the Papal blessing.
Perhaps now is the time to look up 'latex stock buys' now that we have permission straight from the horses mouth that 'jock socks' are cool.
