Welcome to Our Home
Absolute Access & Elevator is proud to service both residential and commercial clients in Kansas City and surrounding areas. Due to our close affiliation with our accessibility manufacturers and our on-going education on the full line of products we carry, we can help you choose the best possible fit when purchasing accessibility enhancements for your home or building project. At Absolute Access & Elevator, we are dedicated to offering the finest products and installation available, today and in the future.
The first question most people ask is, "How much does it cost?" Would it surprise you to know that a stairlift, installed, costs about the same as ONE month in a nursing home, rehab facility or assisted living establishment? It's true. To say installing a stairlift is cost effective is an understatement. What price is your freedom? What price is the ability to stay in the home you love...and stay there safely and effortlessly? Not to mention the added value at the time of resale should you ever decide to down-size. Stairlifts, home elevators, vertical wheelchair lifts, dumbwaiters are all very attractive enhancements to homes no matter what the age or personal needs of the buyer.
In addition to satisfying your accessibility needs, Absolute Access & Elevator offers complete turn-key like operations on all your purchases. In other words, no matter how involved the installation of your project, we will supply qualified, certified personnel to complete the job. There is no need for you to sub-contract any part of the job yourself. Does a wall need to be moved? Stairs modified? Electrical upgraded? Painting? Flooring? We can do it all. Amy Powell, owner of Absolute Access & Elevator, is herself a licensed contractor. Our sub-contractors are local professionals who are experienced, licensed and insured. We are with you throughout the entire process...every step of the way...from the initial purchase to the first use of your newly-installed accessibility enhancement. And we don't stop there. If your product ever needs service for any reason, we will be there to help.
For our commercial clients, we offer the same expertise, knowledge and professionalism. Whether you're installing a LULA (Limited Use Limited Access) elevator, a wheelchair incline lift or a dumbwaiter in your office building or you are a contractor installing in new construction or retro-fitting existing properties, our close association and relationships with our manufacturers means your job will be done right and on time. Absolute Access & Elevator is a proud member of the Kansas City Home Builders Association.
As your local supplier of stairlifts, vertical lifts, residential elevators and more, Absolute Access & Elevator believes in giving back to the community that supports us. That's why we hold membership and/or sponsor many philanthropic organizations serving our country's and community's aging population, such as the Professionals in Aging (Jackson County and Northland chapters), Metro Senior Resources, Senior Awareness, Case Management Society of America, Johnson County Fifty Plus Program, The Whole Person, American Stroke Foundation and Collaboration Works.
Absolute Access & Elevator is also CAPS certified (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist). This certification, offered through The National Association of Home Builders in Washington, DC in collaboration with AARP, NAHB Research Center and NAHB 50+ Housing Council, provides comprehensive, practical information to address the growing number of maturing adults that will soon require home modifications in order to "age in place" in their homes.
What Is "Aging In Place?"
Aging in place means remaining in one's home safely, independently, and comfortably. It means the pleasure of living in a familiar, barrier-free environment throughout one's maturing years and the ability to enjoy the familiar daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives. It means the reassurance of being able to call a house a "home" for a lifetime.
Absolute Access & Elevator is dedicated to making your world more accessible.
Let us help you "age in place"...gracefully.
For more information or to schedule an in-home assessment, please call Amy at 816-447-7511 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You generally need to reach the limit established by the plan in order to make catch-up contributions; therefore, if the plan limit is $15,500, you will be able to make catch-up contributions only after you have reached that limit, assuming you will be at least 50 years old by year-end.
If the plan has a limit on your salary deferral contributions to 10% of your compensation and your compensation is $100,000, you would be eligible to make catch-up contributions after having reached the $10,000 limit.
However, it is important to note that qualified plans are not required to permit catch-up contributions, so the plan administrator or the summary plan description should be consulted to determine whether making catch-up contributions is even an option for you.

When the House returns in late February, Republicans plan to force Democrats to declare their support or opposition to President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaThe Hill's 12:30 Report Gorka: 'Look at all the smiles' in Israel for Trump's visit John Bolton: Action must follow Trump's Saudi speech MORE's decision to prosecute some suspected terrorists in federal court.
Rep. Pete King (N.Y.), the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, said he would attempt to add language barring any money from being spent on trying alleged terrorists in civilian courts to the intelligence authorization bill. The House was set to consider the intelligence authorization measure on the floor this week but it was rescheduled for late February because of the blizzard.
"There are several options and I intend to use all of them," he said in an interview with The Hill.
King's pledge comes the same day two influential Democratic senators tried to push back against the opposition to prosecuting terrorism suspects in federal court.
Sens. Patrick LeahyPatrick LeahyGOP talks of narrowing 'blue-slip' rule for judges GOP bill would create mandatory minimums for crimes against police Turkish president's bodyguards beat up DC protestors: report MORE (Vt.) and Dianne FeinsteinDianne FeinsteinFeinstein piles on Trump criticism: 'Stop the tweeting' Feinstein: Comey is not a 'nut job' Sunday shows preview: Trump abroad as Russia probe heats up MORE (Calif.), who chair the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence committees, respectively, sent a letter to Obama on Thursday endorsing the administration's plans to try terrorists in federal court. They argue that the federal courts have a proven track record in prosecuting terrorism suspects and should not be shunted aside in favor of military commissions in all terrorism-related cases.
"We are writing today to endorse the use of our federal criminal courts to prosecute and bring terrorists to justice," Leahy and Feinstein wrote. "Our system of justice is strong enough to prosecute the people who have attacked us."
The pair also expressed support for the administration's decision to try some terrorists in federal courts and others in military tribunals, what they called "flexibility."
The administration plans to try the alleged Sept. 11 planners and Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in federal court and the USS Cole defendants in a reformed military commission. Maj. Nidal Hasan, the alleged Fort Hood shooter, is being prosecuted in a court-martial.
"Congress should not tie the hands of our national security and law enforcement agencies, but should instead ensure they have the flexibility to use every means available," they wrote.
The letter comes nearly two weeks after another sent by Feinstein, urging Obama to consider moving the trial of self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed from New York City.
"In my view, trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City presents an avoidable danger, very large costs, and undue burdens on the city," she wrote to Obama Jan. 29.
Her spokesman did not respond to a question about whether she remained opposed to trying Mohammed in New York.
In the wake of the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Flight 253, Republicans and a growing number of Democrats on Capitol Hill have openly opposed the Obama administration's plans to try Mohammed in Manhattan.
King and Rep. Frank WolfFrank WolfTrump, global religious freedom needs US ambassador to lead Bottom Line 10 most expensive House races MORE (Va.), the top Republican on the subcommittee that funds the Justice Department, are leading the House drive to prevent any funds from being spent on prosecuting Guantanamo Bay detainees in U.S. federal courts. Sen. Lindsey GrahamLindsey GrahamJuan Williams: Trump morphs into Nixon This week: Congress awaits Comey testimony GOP senator wouldn't be 'surprised' if Comey forced to cancel testimony MORE (R-S.C.) is leading a similar legislative initiative in the Senate. Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), who is in a tight reelection race, signed on as a co-sponsor to Graham's bill.
King said the Thursday letter from Feinstein and Leahy appears to be an attempt to shore up eroding support for Obama's detainee policy both within Congress and among the general public.
"This is almost an Obama administration apology tour," King said. "There is nothing in the letter that shows why the federal courts would be a better place to try them other than this indefinable belief that somehow the world will think better of us."
Last week, two House Democrats, Reps. Jason Altmire (Pa.) and Mike McMahon (N.Y.), jumped onto King and Wolf's bill as co-sponsors, a sign that support in the Democratic Caucus for Obama's detainee policies has deteriorated in recent weeks amid growing concern about how voters will view the White House's national security policies at the polls in November.
Altmire and McMahon joined Brooklyn's Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D) in opposing the administration's decision to hold Mohammed's trial in Manhattan. Late last year, Velázquez wrote Attorney General Eric HolderEric H. HolderHouse votes to expand death penalty for police killings Rosenstein to be grilled today on Trump bombshells California proposes budget increase to fight Trump MORE to say the trial would harm businesses, and New York's Democratic senators, Charles SchumerCharles SchumerOvernight Tech: FCC begins rolling back net neutrality | Sinclair deal puts heat on regulators | China blames US for 'Wanna Cry' attack Sasse dominates Twitter with Schumer photo, 'reefer' caption The Democrats can be great again, here's how MORE and Kirsten GillibrandKirsten GillibrandGillibrand on Trump: 'We should look into obstruction of justice' Biden fuels 2020 speculation Chelsea Handler recalls run-in with Ivanka: 'I can't even with you' MORE, have said they are receptive to alternative sites.
King, who represents parts of nearby Nassau and Suffolk counties, says Americans are confused about the administration's detainee policies and that Obama has a responsibility to spell out a logical rationale for its decision to try some terrorism suspects in federal courts and others in military commissions.
He usually would support the notion that Congress needs to allow the president to exercise some flexibility in its decisions, he said, but when it comes to terrorism, Obama has squandered that privilege.
"I would normally say that there should be some flexibility left to the executive," he said, "but this administration with its decision to try [Mohammed] in New York … has shown they cannot be trusted with that flexibility because they have shown a lack of good judgment."

Bigger Tires
I'm new to the jeep community and wanted to know what the biggest (height&width) size tire and what width 16" rim would I need to put on my 08 JK without lifting (for now).
LT265 75R16 (10.5X32) would be easy on on a 7" rim is ok. LT285 75R16 (11.3X33) would probably rub a bit if you did much wheeling and would require at least a 7.5" rim. With stock gearing mileage will suffer.
as a former Coastie...some of my best friends where snipes....always like to hang out with them during the winter....:D....they got to stay warm.
I was a TT myself so I came up the ranks with the deck apes....:rofl:
I have 265/75R16 Maxis Mudders on my stock 2007 X and they do not rub at all.
Awesome, thank you all for the info, i appreciate it. Thanks for the shout VaMan, always good to hear from Coastie's, snipe or not.
I have put 33 12.5 17 and are fine

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Symptoms of detoxification
- Mild symptoms
- Moderate symptoms
- Severe symptoms
- Treating Drug Withdrawal
Detox of drug, effects and treament
Drug use is a dangerous habit that ruins the life of not only drug takers but their loved ones too. Drug severely harms the body and results in its malfunction and in some cases, may lead to total failure of some vital body organs, particularly the kidneys and liver. This effect is not only observed in drug takers but in occasional drinkers too (where the effects of drug are a bit slow) and may sometimes be life-threatening and in certain cases even fatal. To stop the damaging effects of drug to the body, one must undergo detox. Drug detox, also referred to as drug detoxification, is a procedure of gradually reducing and completely eliminating drug addiction of a person. Before getting treated for the use of drugs, it's vital to undergo a drug detoxification process to completely remove any drug residue in the body. It may be challenging to attain full recovery from drug addiction, if any residue remains in the body, since it may trigger cravings for the drug.
Drugs are actually taken by people to overcome the effects and treat the medical problems. If it's used for the wrong purpose, then it acts a serious threat to a person's life.
Drug detox emphasizes on abstaining from drug consumption whenever possible, changing the diet of the patient and use of medications. Drug detox may be a bit tedious as the patient may undergo psychological and physical trauma with regards to total withdrawal from drugs.
Symptoms of detoxification
The severity of detoxification symptoms may vary from mild to severe as well as from one person to another. The mild symptoms often develop during the early stages of the detox process while the severe ones are observed within 2 days to a week of abstaining from drugs. The symptoms include:
Mild symptoms
- Nausea induced vomiting
- Irritability and bad temper
- Headache, which can vary from mild to severe
- Loss of appetite
- Excessive sweating, observed particularly on the hand palms
- Feeling of shakiness and nervousness
- Deprivation of sleep or insomnia
Moderate symptoms
- Increased heart rate
- Getting nightmares
- Sudden changes in moods and depression
- Trembling of limbs
- Twitching of eyelids
- Dilated pupils
- Pale and sweaty skin
- Fatigue
Severe symptoms
- Inability to think constructively
- Convulsions or seizures
- Blackouts and fainting spells
- Hallucinations
- Fever
- Sudden emotional changes triggered by anxiety
Extreme irritability may happen due to lack of the exhilarated effect the drug is producing all these days. Some victims may boycott shops and steal them for their drug dose. Some may even try to commit suicide, unable to tolerate the mental stress.
Increased body pain and sweating are common with these people secondary to irritability and mental strain. Diarrhea can also accompany lethargy and general weakened body status.
Some victims can get dizzy and be subjected to hallucinations (false perceptions, where one sees faces and hears voices not related to actual life). Some people may be extremely depressing as their dose of exhilaration is missing or be extremely agitated and get violent. Sleeping problems are also common for them.
Treating Drug Withdrawal
Drug withdrawal symptoms can tire one emotionally and physically. To stop the consumption of drug fully, it is essential to undergo treatment offered by Drug detox centers. There are several detox remedies such as drinking a lot of water and vegetable or fruit juices to keep the body hydrated and enhance cell functions, engaging in yoga and practicing meditation among others. Vegetable juices such as carrot and beet-root juice help cleanse the liver and strengthen the immune system.
On the other hand, there are also several herbs and supplements used to reduce stress caused by the withdrawal symptoms. For severe drug withdrawal symptoms, some medications are used for treatment such as benzodiazepines. This treatment method is referred to as pharmacological detoxifications. Drug detox centers also use medications like diazepam and chlordiapexide to treat heavy drinkers. Drug withdrawal is a very challenging process for an individual, both psychologically and physically, as the body reacts to the abrupt decrease of drug level in the blood. Dedication and patience, as well as the support of family, is the key factor to accomplish this process.
It is essential that this drug be followed as per prescription and never to be overdoses and abused. If addiction occurs and prompt care should be initialized at the earliest to detoxify the drug effects using pharmaceutical interventions or by psychological and rehabilitative techniques.

Different Perfume Brands from Around the World
A brief overview and history of several major perfume brands including Vera Wang, Prada and Versace.
One such company is Gianni Versace S.p.A, which is based in Milan, Italy. After the late Gianni Versace was slain at 50 years old near his Florida home, his family helped to maintain the business for two entire decades. The Versace family forged on, with sibling Santo Versace currently serving as the Co-Chairman and President of the company. The business employs slightly over 420 employees and has reported a revenue of 230.7 million dollars in 2010 alone.

Versace has an elaborate selection of perfumes and colognes that include Crystal Noir Perfume, Gianni Versace Perfume and Versace L'homme Cologne. One of the more popular women's perfumes is the Versace Bright Crystal Perfume. This formula is a combination of fruity and musk scents, performing an alluring balancing act for the senses. This perfume is held within an elegant yet simple pink bottle, including a dramatically larger crystal cover.
Another thriving company with a bewitching line of perfumes is Prada S.p.A. With over 8,000 employees, this Italian-based company is a well-known luxury brand. Prada is the public parent of nine other companies, including Prada U.S.A. Corporation and Prada Stores SRL. Prada's Chairman of the Board of Directors, Miuccia Prada Bianchi, is also the co-founder of the company. She has been serving as chairman since 2003.
Among the more recent crazes for Prada fragrances, Prada Candy stands out as a devilishly sweet but sophisticated scent. With such an inviting aroma, it's no wonder it was one of the top selling fragrances of 2011 in the United States. Prada's first fragrance for men, Prada Pour Homme, was also voted as the "Best New Male Fragrance" by COPRA in 2006. This popular men's perfume has an invigoratingly sharp and elaborate scent.
Among the impressive companies with top notch perfume lines is the upscale Vera Wang, which was founded by the 2005 "Womenswear Designer of the Year" Ms. Wang. With an elaborate selection of clothing, bridal wear, fragrances, footwear and much more - Wang's contemporary style seeps into all of her entrancing products. Her company has over 200 employees and collaborates with other major luxury companies that dominate the market today.
In 2012, Ms. Wang unveiled the lusciously mellow scent of Vera Wang Princess, with its main accords consisting of vanilla, white floral and various fruit inspirations. The heart-shaped bottle is bedazzled in a rich purple glitter enhanced with a gem studded silver crown. The scent has been described by one happy customer as a delectable, creamy, vanilla-based scent that can be worn either day or night. Among Ms. Wang's other thriving fragrances are the Vera Wang Princess, Lovestruck, Vera Wang Bouquet, Vera Wang for Men and the self-titled, intimate-yet-

The Past
Just the despair that you can sink into on occasion, or when you're just waiting for something more.
The past,
Is all I see,
It makes me wish,
I was never born.
People wonder,
Why I say,
"I'm not good enough",
Look now,
At what I've done,
Because I die,
Every time.
I work,
So hard,
So long,
To accomplish goals,
But they say,
The "wrong" goals.
People wonder,
Why I'm paranoid,
I've lost it all,
I can't,
Lose it again.
I care,
So much,
About the "things",
At least I know,
That "things" won't leave me.
"What, am I,
Who am I"
Is all I ask,
Who will be,
The first to answer?
The pain,
Is "in the past",
The past is here,
And there forever.
I sob,
I plead,
Do not repeat,
what has been done.
Please be the one,
to start anew,
To start the change,
Please be the one.

Algonquin Power CFO Says Bond Market Open to Utility Companiesby and
'Almost unlimited demand' for investment-grade credit issuance
David Bronicheski speaks at Bloomberg Canadian FI Conference
Investment-grade Canadian companies that want to issue debt will be welcomed with open arms by investors, according to Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.'s chief financial officer.
"It really is the halcyon days for the power and utility sector," David Bronicheski said at the Bloomberg Canadian Fixed Income Conference in New York. "It is almost an unlimited demand it seems for solid, investment-grade fixed-income credit."
Canada's utilities are facing less competition than their neighbors to the south as hydro power accounts for more than half of Canada's electricity supply, leaving fewer players and less of a chance for solar panels and wind turbines to pressure profits.
The U.S. market plays a "key role" in Algonquin's financing plans, particularly concerning mergers and acquisitions, Bronicheski said. Algonquin earlier this year agreed to buy Missouri's Empire District Electric Co. for $1.5 billion in cash and went to the U.S. market for financing. They are considering taking advantage of the 144A market as well, he said.
Utility companies pursuing acquisitions have led to more than 70 transactions raising money in the fixed-income market, surpassing last year, Bronicheski said. Algonquin is committed to maintaining its BBB investment-grade credit rating as it considers debt issuance in Canada or the U.S., he said.
Although there has already been quite a bit of consolidation in the sector, Algonquin is watching for more acquisition opportunities, Bronicheski said.
"There's always going to be more acquisitions to come," he said. "We're certainly keeping our oars in the water."

Why Native American Reservations Could be Next to Legalize Marijuana
Times are tough for Lakota Indians on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Shannon County, South Dakota. It's a place that, despite its beauty, has no jobs and little money coming into the community.
"Historically Shannon County has been one of the poorest counties in the country," Brandon Ecoffey, managing editor of Native Sun News and a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe, told The Takeaway. "The tribe has been looking for alternative ways of raising revenue, of creating jobs, of just sparking growth on the reservation."
The dire need for a boost to the economy is why the Oglala Lakota Tribal Council's economic committee started looking into legalizing marijuana on the reservation this year. Ecoffey says it was something that tribe members of all ages seemed interested in.
"In the past there's always been a generational divide on marijuana between younger Americans and the older Americans," he said. "On the reservation, that divide doesn't seem to exist. I think a community that's been hit so hard by mass incarceration, poverty, so many social afflictions—finding something that might work is appealing to everybody."
An exploratory committee presents their findings on the pros and cons of the proposal to the Oglala Lakota Tribal Council next week. And the Oglala Lakota tribe is not alone—around the country, at least two dozen other tribes are considering similar proposals.
But what happens if marijuana laws are written to include variation not just from state to state, but also across the country's 326 reservations? It's a question Newsweek Ian MacDougall explores in the latest issue of the magazine.

Tired of hum-drum nights out? This is an awesome local theater group that has had many successful years of entertaining Oklahoma City folks and visitors from afar.

The productions are chosen well for their variety and...
We went there during the renovations, so there were some leaks and construction issues to deal with. However, we were pleased with the offerings and the intimacy of the small stage theatre.
try this theatre. OKC has an over abundance of musicals (is this a bible belt thing?) so I enjoy this group for a laugh or a bit of drama.
I have seen numerous productions here, and been involved in a few many years ago. I love this place. When trying to find something to do in OKC - always factor in what is showing at CST- there is some fine local talent in OKC.
They are now located west of downtown on Sheridan just south of the county jail. Nice new location feeling cozy and the local art displayed is delightful. The staff is so nice and welcoming wanting you to have a great time while you are there. The play we say was wonderful and well played out with great actors. I would...

London, Dec 27 (ANI): A Scottish centenarian has officially bagged the "world's oldest best man" after organising a stag do at the age of 102 that involved drinking shots of whisky.
Semi-retired farmer Dan Clement, who agreed to the honour for friend, Alex "Sandy" Little, 74, and bride Sue, had wedding guests in stitches with gags about a ploughman and his cows, the Mirror reported.
Clement, who has two children, four grandchildren and one great grandchild, was a best man once before in the 1940s and was happy to take up the role again for the jolly couple, for whom age was never a consideration.
He was presented with his Guinness World Records certificate at Dunjop Nursing Home in Bridge of Dee, near Dumfries, this month.
Dan's long-standing friend Heather Dodds said that it was a wonderful day as the minister presented it to him with a bottle of Guinness, which was a nice touch. The whole thing was lovely. (ANI)

MODEL train maker HORNBY expects to lose at least £1million in
Christmas sales because of chaos at a Chinese supplier.
The company shifted all manufacturing to the Far East in the late Nineties to
slash costs.
But it was forced yesterday to admit a restructuring at its biggest supplier
in the country would delay key Christmas deliveries. Shipments of key model
trains — such as a new B17 steam locomotive — will now not arrive until
February at the earliest.
Chief exec Frank Martin said: "We now have five alternative suppliers but the
level of shipments is being affected.
"It's going to be some time before more collectable products such as the B17
The issues with supplier SANDA KAN have affected sales in Hornby's
European markets throughout the summer.
Half-year results yesterday showed sales on the Continent plunged by almost a
And the group — which also owns SCALEXTRIC and AIRFIX —
fell £541,000 into the red in the six months to September. Hornby also
shelved its half-year dividend — and was forced to reassure over its
finances, revealing BARCLAYS had offered a new bank loan.
But Mr Martin insisted it still did not make sense to bring production back
home to Britain.
He said: "Average wages in China have gone up three times in the past seven,
eight years — but the minimum wage is still only around £2,000 a year."
Mr Martin added that Christmas would be tough — and "later" than normal — as
customers hold back on presents until the last minute.
He said: "It won't be the best Christmas we have had in the past five years."
Yesterday's warning came just two months after Hornby said full-year profits
would be derailed by weaker than expected sales of London 2012 souvenirs.
But Mr Martin insisted shareholders should "not be worried".
He said: "We have short-term challenges, but we are working through them
Matthew Taylor, analyst at NUMIS, said: "Its stable of brands suggests
the group should return to profitability in due course.
"But more tangible evidence of stability may be required for the shares to
stage a meaningful recovery."
Girls booted
BOOTS is kicking its famous "Here Come The Girls" ads into touch — and
unveiling a new Christmas television campaign.
After a four-year advertising drive championing women who "feel good", the
pharmacy chain has decided to "encourage people to give their loved ones
health and beauty gifts".
The new ad sees couples, friends and families swapping presents to a
soundtrack of Elton John's hit Are You Ready for Love?
JJB was on £115m stairway to hell
JJB SPORTS collapsed owing nearly £115MILLION to suppliers
ranging from ADIDAS to STANNAH — the stairlift specialist.
More than £1.4million was also left on gift cards that shoppers will never be
able to use.
And the Sun-backed HELP FOR HEROES charity lost out on £37,401.
A source said: "I cannot believe how many have been affected by what happened
A report filed at Companies House yesterday showed the huge array of
businesses large and small left out of pocket by JJB's demise.
Almost £30million was owed to sportswear suppliers, with Adidas owed more than
UMBRO was left £8million out of pocket. JJB owed landlords £9million
and energy suppliers £2million. But tiny firms and individuals right across
the country were clobbered.
The Irish Football Association was owed £57,000, Stannah £982, Midland Pest
Control £187 and Miss Sharon Grime £40.
Incredibly, top City accountants Lazard were owed a solitary pound.
JJB went bust last month, triggering 133 shop closures and 2,200 job losses.
It blamed the dire economy and rise of internet competition.
The SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE is understood to be investigating "the roles
of individuals" who worked at the business for possible fraud. Its probe
began THREE YEARS ago.
An SFO spokesman explained: "In complex fraud cases such an investigation is
not unduly long."
Air boss on clash course
TOUGH-talking BRITISH AIRWAYS boss Willie Walsh sparked a war
with Spanish unions yesterday — by vowing to axe 4,500 jobs at IBERIA.
He announced a blood-letting at the Spanish airline — which merged with BA to
form IAG two years ago.
Mr Walsh said it was the only way Iberia could "survive" given spiralling
losses triggered by the Euro slump.
Results yesterday showed BA posted profits of £228million between January and
October — as Iberia LOST £208million.
But furious Spanish unions accused the chief exec of "condemning Iberia to
Justo Peral, spokesman for airline pilots' union SEPLA, said:
"Nobody doubts that Iberia needed restructuring to adapt it to the financial
situation. But this is the dismantling of the national carrier."
He vowed: "We are not going to negotiate this plan." The clash threatens to
hit flights to and from Britain and Spain.
Sepla organised strikes last year over the decision to set up a budget carrier IBERIA
EXPRESS — whose staff were on cut-price contracts.
The cost-cutting will take Iberia's payroll to 15,500, suspend non-profitable
routes and bin 25 aircraft.
Mr Walsh warned: "Iberia is in a fight for survival and we will transform its
cost base so it can grow profitably in the future."
With Iberia's losses and the costs of integrating BMI, IAG fell £169million
into the red between January and October. This compares with profits of
£283million over the same period a year ago.
At the time of the merger, Iberia was given a 44 per cent stake in the
combined business. BA championed the combination with the slogan "Stronger
IAG's shares edged 2.6p higher to 170.60.
330 staff get chop at Comet
THE first jobs have gone at COMET as administrators shed 330 staff a
week after the chain's collapse.
DELOITTE last night axed workers from the firm's head offices in
Rickmansworth and Hull and a call centre in Clevedon, Bristol.
Around half the telesales and online sales support workforce in Clevedon were
given the chop.
Comet employed more than 6,600 full and part-time staff.
Deloitte insisted there had been no redundancies in stores and distribution
Administrator Neville Kahn added: "A number of parties have expressed interest
in parts of the business. We continue to work hard to preserve jobs."
Deloitte was brought in last week after Comet was dumped into administration
by OPCAPITA and its owner Henry Jackson.
The American tycoon has since refused to comment – prompting a nationwide
campaign to find the elusive boss.
Insiders insist Comet was a victim of a cash crunch as suppliers demanded
payment up front for festive stock.
UK drink giant out for Indian
BRITISH spirits giant DIAGEO yesterday took a £1.3BILLION
punt on an Indian booze firm.
It struck a deal to take control of UNITED SPIRITS, which makes
Whyte & Mackay scotch.
Diageo, which produces Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Guinness,
will take a 53.4 per cent stake.
Cigar-puffing Indian liquor baron Vijay Mallya — the man behind the FORCE
INDIA Formula One team — will remain as chairman.
The deal will hand him funds to help shore up his other business, KINGFISHER
Diageo chief Paul Walsh said: "I'm delighted at the opportunity Diageo has to
be part of India's large and growing local spirits market."
Experts yesterday tipped India to have the fastest growing GDP of all big
world economies in the next 50 years.
Shares in Diageo, one of Sun City's "Super Six" stock picks for 2012, rose 7p
to 1796.
France 'in recession'
FRANCE is poised to plunge back into recession, its central bank said
The Bank of France predicts output shrinking 0.1 per cent between October and
December — the second successive quarterly fall.
Woolies in boost
MORE than 3,000 former WOOLWORTHS workers could finally be given
compensation for being dismissed four years ago.
The USDAW union has won the right to put a case for staff who worked in
smaller Woolies outlets to the Employment Appeal Tribunal next year.
Workers in stores of fewer than 20 people were denied some of the £67million
compensation awarded to 25,000 other former colleagues in January.
£53m rat-race

restaurant chain yesterday vowed to invest £20million into the business. RUTLAND

– MORE than 100,000 people have backed a "Big Change in Banking"
campaign led by WHICH?
The consumer watchdog's boss Richard Lloyd last night said the huge show of

– BRITAIN'S trade gap with the rest of the world fell from £4.3billion

– THE mining giant hit by devastating strikes in South Africa is trying
to raise £501MILLION after plunging into the red.
LONMIN yesterday said it is flogging new shares at a 45 per cent
discount in a desperate bid for funds.
The firm also scrapped its dividend. Annual losses to September were
