The decision to protect capital spending, which traditionally gets a higher economic bang for your buck, in the midst of a downturn is one that Westminster has (belatedly) conceded would have been sensible policy. As such, the Scottish Government's actions reflect the positive influence that devolution might have on the U.K. as a whole.

"IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO FIRE INTO UKRAINIAN TERRITORY."
Tak says that NATO has seen Russia giving large quantities of "advanced weapons," such as tanks and air defense systems, to separatist forces in Eastern Ukraine, and he calls the situation "increasingly grave." NATO believes that the images show that Russia is attempting to destabilize Ukraine by supplying the separatists and extending the length of the conflict they've been in. Obama, too, agrees that these images show that Russia is behind the violence. "The new images of soldiers inside Ukraine make that plain," he said at a press conference this afternoon."

A Better Understanding of the Health Risks from Wireless Radiation - Specialists / Experts / Well Informed Doctors Speak Out.
Do you switch off ALL your wireless systems at night while you sleep? DO! is your home phone much too powerful for your needs? CHANGE. Are you aware of your WIFI's contribution to your body's exposure? To you have wireless devices in your bedroom while you sleep? Do you allow your children to be near any wireless devices operational or in stand-by mode? NO / NO......
Oh dear you have no fear? You ignore this at your stimulated cells' peril. Explore the effects of wireless yourself by reading the work of those scientists that have done BASIC research. Research at other levels is important but we need to get to the processes occurring at deep physics and biological levels to establish priorities for dealing with the simply awful diseases arising from ordinary use seemingly harmless everyday tools of communication.
I received the following email this morning from Frank Clegg formerly a top executive at Microsoft Canada :
Good morning,
We are pleased to inform you that the full recap from Friday's successful MD Symposium is now posted to our main site at C4ST.org. You will find the full presentations from the top minds in North America are now available, along with all course material handed out and discussed at the event.
During the course of the symposium Dr. Anthony Miller argues the classification should be 2A, probable carcinogenic to humans. Dr. Miller also reviews the recent studies that link wireless radiation to breast and brain cancer.
Dr. Davis presents the latest research showing the impact on sperm fertility as well as the connection with wireless radiation exposure and impaired childhood development.
Dr. Hugh Taylor reviews his research showing the offspring of pregnant mice exposed to cell phones during pregnancy developed "ADHD-like" symptoms.
Dr. Havas reviews the pre-conditions she has observed for electro sensitivity and presented the Austrian Medical Association "Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of EMF related health problems and illnesses."
I review the current situation in Canada re Health Canada and Safety Code 6.
Please watch and share the important information covered to your own MD, MP, and your friends and family.
Sincerely,
Frank Clegg
CEO - C4ST

BBC News: Ancient China fish 'nearly extinct'
It was the first time since researchers began recording levels 32 years ago.
Chinese researches say the fall is due to rising levels of pollution in the Yangtze river and the construction of dozens of dams.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences also found that no young sturgeons were found swimming along the Yangtze toward the sea during the period they usually do so."
The Chinese sturgeon, thought to have existed for more than 140 million years, is now on the brink of extinction, say local media.Read more:
