The U.S. subprime housing crisis will not peak until 2009 and total defaults could reach $150 billion, Standard and Poor's said.
The dollar gained in quiet trade Monday against most major currencies as investors reassessed risk and bet that Friday's sell-off on a U.S. payrolls report was overdone.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Sunday that the rate of U.S. economic growth was slowing, but the odds of a recession are less than 50%.
The U.S. federal budget deficit fell to $161 billion in fiscal 2007 from $248 billion the prior year as growth in tax receipts, fueled by capital gains and other non-withheld income, outstripped spending growth, the Congressional Budget Office said on Friday.
The dollar weakened Friday, after dealers decided a relatively solid U.S. employment report was not enough to move the U.S. economy off a slowing path and keep the Federal Reserve from possibly cutting interest rates.
The Labor Department's jobs number tracks people in the work force, but it doesn't account for millions of workers classified as independent contractors. Now, a battle is brewing over whether contractors like Gupertino Magana are getting a fair deal.
The prepared speech given by Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn on the economic outlook. The speech took place in Philadelphia on October 5, 2007.
The euro headed higher against the U.S. dollar Thursday, after orders to U.S. factories fell by their biggest amount in seven months and the European Central Bank agreed to keep interest rates steady at 4 percent.
Friday's U.S. employment report is expected to show sizable job growth for September, emboldening investors. But that won't end the debate about a possible recession.
With the Dow Jones Industrial Average hovering around 14,000, the question is where the blue-chip heads next: 13,000 or 15,000?
The dollar rose to a 1-month high against the yen on Wednesday, after a report on the U.S. services sector in September reflected growth in employment, boding well for Friday's non-farm payrolls data.
The U.S. private sector increased hiring at a moderate pace for a third straigth month in September, according to the ADP employment report released Wednesday.
The dollar rose Tuesday from record lows hit during the prior session as investors trimmed overstretched bets against the U.S. currency ahead of key economic data later this week.
The dollar rose slightly from record lows against the euro Monday as investors cashed out bets against the U.S. currency ahead of a fresh batch of economic data and central bank meetings this week.
The dollar hit another new low Friday, as U.S. inflation data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates again.
Recession talk is heating up as the slumping U.S. housing market threatens to shackle free-spending consumers, yet stocks remain near record highs, indicating that many investors see little cause for alarm.
Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Dennis Lockhart said on Friday that market turmoil could hit the U.S. economy and that a moderation in inflation gave the Fed room to cut interest rates last week.
The U.S. Senate Thursday passed and sent to President Bush a temporary spending measure to keep the federal government running through Nov. 16, giving Democrats and Republicans time to work out budget disagreements.
Tight central bank monetary policies and well-grounded expectations of low inflation are to thank for low inflation in recent years, not globalization, Federal Reserve Governor Frederic Mishkin said on Thursday.
The dollar fell to record lows Thursday, hit by fresh evidence that a weak housing market could crimp U.S. growth and force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again.

As far as weight-loss quick fixes go, consumers on their own
Summer bummer: The season's half over and you still can't fit into that bikini.
Not to worry. Some super-savvy marketers of weight-loss products hope they've got your number.
Pills and diet plans promising to help shed pounds within days have transformed the weight-loss industry into a more than $62-billion-a-year business, compared with about $38 billion 10 years ago, estimates Market Data.
But most diet pills haven't been approved for safe weight loss by the Food and Drug Administration, and products often make unsubstantiated scientific claims, consumer experts say.
Also, dietary supplements don't need to register with the FDA nor receive approval before hitting the market; the agency only takes action if the product later proves to be unsafe.
Several companies, however, still promise their products will help you slip into that little black dress. And consumers seem as eager as ever to reach deep into their wallets for a quick and easy solution.
The FDA — which just approved two new diet pills this summer for the first time in 13 years, Qsymia and Belviq — tries to warn consumers against dangerous products by updating its list of "tainted" weight-loss supplements, meaning it has identified hidden active ingredients, and the Federal Trade Commission looks for misleading and false advertising. But with the number of new products that hit markets, officials say they find it difficult to keep up.
VIDEO: USA TODAY reporter Nanci Hellmich discusses the latest FDA-approved prescription diet pill called Qsymia.
"These products don't require any pre-approval, and the government lacks the resources to look at more than a handful of them," said the FTC's Richard Cleland. "One of the problems is consumers assume these products wouldn't be out in the marketplace unless the FDA or FTC had approved the product, and that's just not the case."
Some companies create fake news sites with reviews of their products that they can link to on their websites, Cleland said.
"The most dangerous thing is the consumer is going to think the solution is in the pill," Cleland said. "If there was a pill out there that was going to cure the weight-loss problem, we would have it."
Some of the latest fads:
•Radiofrequency waves. LipoTron 3000, ringing in at up to $85,000, is a device that's part of the larger Lipo-Ex program and uses radiofrequency waves to target fat cells. It hasn't been approved by the FDA as a weight-loss product, but as a device for pain relief and increased circulation, said Mark Durante of Advanced Aesthetic Concepts, the distributor of the product.
Three medical spas reached by USA TODAY, including Tampa's Signature Medical Spa, Chicago's Sculpt Medical Spa and New Jersey's Baxt CosMedical, said the device was a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
•Super supplements. Consumers are instructed to use HCG Platinum, or "bottled confidence," in conjunction with a diet consisting only of foods from a "healthy foods list." For 30 days, dieters eat mostly lean protein and vegetables and drink two 1 milliliter drops of the supplement, which is sold at about $130 for a two-month supply.
Just last month, however, the FDA warned against over-the-counter HCG products and said it issued warning letters with the FTC to companies illegally marketing these products as weight-loss aids.
•"Sprinkle" crystals. Sensa is a "sprinkle" diet that doesn't require any change in the foods you eat or ramped-up exercise routines. All you have to do is add the crystals on every dish — as simply as you would salt and pepper, its website boasts, to enhance smell and taste so you feel full sooner. It also points to a six-month study that showed participants lost weight, but there haven't been any studies that determine long-term effects. Sensa sells a "complete" six-month package for $289.
"This is largely, if not entirely, a complete fraud," said physician Sidney Wolfe, director of the health research group at Public Citizen. "There's no scientific evidence."
In an e-mailed statement, the company said, "Sensa works for people who use it on all the foods they eat. The system is simple, but you must do your part."
What does all this mean for those desperately seeking a solution? "Popping pills or taking something because it's aggressively marketed doesn't mean it's effective or safe," said Barbara Brooks, a senior partner of the Strategy Group. "A certain amount of onus is put on the consumer."

Whale of a Birthday
The whale card was just a online clipart and I used the cloud from Penny's Lettuce card, the cuttlebug for the waves. The whale is attached with a wobble. The first card I made with the Imagine was stolen by someone during transit at the Post office. Expensive lesson I learned . No more stickers on the outside and no cash inside. It makes me sad that you can not trust the US Mail.

U.S. Embassy bomb kills 2
ISTANBUL A man approached a visitor's gate at the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Friday and detonated an explosives-packed vest, killing himself and a Turkish security guard, blowing a gaping hole in the wall and raising new fears about the protection of U.S. diplomats serving in this region.
Within hours Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a homegrown Marxist organization, and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the issue had "pretty much been clarified" because the bomber had been identified, by a skin mark on his head, as a former prisoner once incarcerated for domestic terrorism. Erdogan said the results of DNA testing would be announced today.
In Washington, a White House official said the United States would conduct its own investigation into the attack, which triggered a State Department warning for American citizens to temporarily avoid U.S. diplomatic offices in Turkey.
According to images captured on a security camera and reported by the Turkish television channel NTV, it was just after lunchtime when a man entered a security checkpoint near the consular section and panicked as the metal detector buzzed. When he reached for his midsection, a Turkish guard yelled, "Run away, a bomb!" according to NTV.
A Turkish journalist on her way to have tea with the U.S. ambassador, Francis J. Ricciardone Jr., was critically wounded.
"We've had hundreds of phone calls, in the first minutes, hundreds of text messages of condolences and support," Ricciardone said later. "We feel we are among friends. We feel safe. Thank you for sharing our pain and sorrow on this occasion. We will continue to fight terrorism together."

Two GTM compositions from saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton: Composition 255, a duo with saxophonist Chris Jonas; and Composition 265, performed by the same duo with vocalist Molly Sturges.
Braxton, Anthony
GTM (Outpost) 2003 [2 CDs]
Label: Leo
Released in: Great Britain
"Composition 255 (disc 1) is performed as a saxophone duo by Braxton and Jonas. On Composition 265 (disc 2) the voice of Molly Sturges is added to the duo. Weaving in and out of the notated parts, beautifully recorded in front of the enthusiastic audience, these pieces are bound to become Anthony Braxton's GTM classics. Although Composition 265 is meant to be one piece it was divided into 11 sections by the applause from the audience."-Leo Records

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It has become the stuff of legend now, but back in the old days when there were more immediate consequences to perceptions of wanton fiscal policies , James Carville famously told then-President Clinton, "If I could be reincarnated, i would come back as the bond market. That thing scares everybody."
Oh, were that to have been true over the past few years, when $5 trillion in additional federal debt and the first downgrade of U.S. Treasuries has done little to prevent bond yields from actually declining and, in the process, to allow the Obama administration to pursue one of the most expansionary fiscal policies in history.
No president has added more to our national debt so quickly and yet the much-vaunted bond vigilantes, perhaps weary from leaning against the gale force winds of ever-greater levels of spending, appear to have all but given up.
A blank check in hand, the president has paid little attention to the potential long-term consequences of spending money we don't have. Such is the blessing of possessing the world's only reserve currency.
For a while at least, the kindness of strangers has allowed Uncle Sam to fund itself in a world bereft of other good choices. But the blessing of being the only game in town is also a curse to the extent to which it mutes the message the markets would normally send to stop spending.
While it may seem unconceivable now that America's foreign creditors will look to other bond markets as a store of wealth, there are some faint signs that investors are starting to grow weary of being so over-exposed to U.S. Treasuries. China remains the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, but it has cut its Treasury holdings in each of the last three months.
The resilience in the price of gold must also be seen as a sign of flagging confidence in the primacy of U.S. dollar holdings for the world's wealth. Check out the GLD chart.
There are, of course, those in the administration and in the financial markets that claim that the bond market is actually "right," sending the proper signal that the economy is on the verge of deflation. The not-so-subtle inference is that only a greater reliance on Keynesian policies can help us avoid it.
This argument seems specious in an environment in which the Federal Reserve has been so aggressive in purchasing America's our own credit and manipulating the yield curve. Intellectual honesty requires one to wonder what bond yields would be if the Fed weren't indeed buying them.

A back-up in interest rates current levels would be catastrophic for both the federal budget and the finances of individual investors. With the weighted average of America's sovereign debt outstanding at 2.3%, a small increase in interest rates could lead to an explosion in the federal deficit due to higher interest expenses alone.

Special Moves
B - Pumping
Dig Dug shoots out his pump which latches on to nearby foes, this stuns them similarly to Zero Suit Samus's paralyzer. If the B button is pressed continuously the inflation music from Dig Dug plays and the enemy takes damage. The attack will automatically end after (4) pumps, after the 4th pump which is the equivalent to the popping pump found in Dig Dug, the opponent will "popped" and launched, if they around 105% they will be knocked out.
Side B - Pooka Toss
Dig Dug throws a Pooka in a similar fashion to how King Dedede threw his minions in Brawl. However once thrown the Pooka will walk forward bouncing with every other step. It will do very minimal damage it makes contact with someone. However if hit, it will pop, the resulting pop will do scaled knock back.
Dig Dug can also catch the Pooka with his neutral B, after which the B button can be pressed rapidly in order to inflate the Pooka. If the Pooka is hit during inflation it will pop, causing damage to Dig Dug and the opponent if they are close. If Dig Dug is the one to pop the Pooka, he will take no damage but if the enemy is close they will be hit. The explosion always does scaled damage, the power depending on the stage of the Pooka's inflation.
Up B - Rock/Xblock Drop
Dig Dug run forward leaving a rock or an X block above where he once was. Said object then falls down, kicking up dust and breaking as it lands. The block/rock will always fall to the ground much like Pac-Man's Fire Hydrant. The initial hit would have the same amount of damage as Pac-Man's Fire Hydrant. However the rock will have the same fragment damage as Charizard's Boulder. This attack has scaled knock back.
Down B - Fygar Pop
If in the air, Dig Dug will turn to the side and spawn a Fygar that will be attached to his pump. The player must rapidly press the B button, which will cause the Fygar to inflate and pop. The resulting fire based explosion will propel Dig Dug upwards. If the explosion makes contact with an enemy it will cause scaled knock back.
If performed on the ground, Dig Dug will remain in the upright position as a Fygar is spawned before him. The attack works as normal but the explosion has a bit blowback that will make Dig Dug slide backwards.
Final Smash - Fault Line Sinker
Dig Dug shocks the stage with his drill, a dotted line appears for the player to control, the object is to ensnare as many enemies as possible within the dotted line. After a small amount of time has passed Dig Dug will shake the stage causing all on it and those caught by the fault line to be launched.
Star KO: *Dig Dug Death Sound*
Screen KO:
Up Taunt: The digging faces of the Pooka and the Fygar spin around Dig Dug. This taunt kills opponents in the 400%-600% range.
Side Taunt: Dig Dug eats a eggplant and "2000" appears above his head.
Down Taunt: The death animation from Dig Dug.
Victory/Lose Pose
Victory 1: Dig Dug quickly pops two Pookas and gives a thumbs up.
Victory 2: Dig Dug chases angrily after a undergrounder, trips, and falls.
Victory 3: A Fygar appears and breathes fire, afterwards Dig Dug pops him and has a look of victory on his face.
Lose: Dig Dug looks smugly at the camera as he claps.
Character Description
Digging Time
Dig Dug digs up from the bottom of the stage as his stepping jingle plays.
Other Attacks
Ground Attacks
Basic Attacks
- Neutral attack- Drill Jab: Dig Dug stabs forward with his drill multiple times finishes with a sweep upward.
- Dash Attack- Jackhammer Slide: Dig Dug jumps onto his drill and skates along the ground towards the opponent. This move is similar to Link's down air, it's just weaker and repeats for a long period of time causing ending lag. This move however can not kill.
- Side Tilt- Dig Dug wifs his drill as it jam the ground causing the spark to arc upwards. Causing scaled knock back. Moderate start up to this attack, does cause knock back.
- Up Tilt- Dig Dug whips his drill upward slowly in a crescent moon motion stopping at the start of the arc to pump his drill causing a compressed air burst to occur, and again at the height of the arc to repeat the motion. This attack has high starting lag but will kill if the second blast connects with an opponent at high percents, roughly 151%.
- Down Tilt- Dig Dug will swing his drill around himself, hitting everything around him moderately, there is no lag on this move and it will cause knock back.
- Side- After Shock: A drill spark run along the ground before Dig Dug, as he jams his drill into the ground, This move has quick startup but heavy ending lag. The range is similar to Mega Man's neutral, and is most effective the closer the sparks are to Dig Dug, This move has great knock back based on the spark's proximity to Dig Dug, it has the ability to kill at around 75% if the opponent is struck with the sparks at a range close to Dig Dug, 90% if the opponent is hit in the middle of the spark's journey, and 110% if the opponent is hit as the attack ends.
- Up- 100M Break: A 100M block from the game Mr. Driller appears above Dig Dug and he drills through it, the rubble and the drill counting for multiple hits on the opponent. Overall the hit box and how it works is very similar to Mewtwo's up smash, as such it too hits about 1-6 times the first hit being 1% and the last being 10%. The "CLEAR" sound effect occurs when the smash is completed. Small characters can fail to be hit by this, however the last hit has great knock back and will kill at 110%.
- Down- Drill Peg: A peg appears and Dig Dug jams his drill down into the ground causing drill sparks to spread from his sides along the ground. Which will cause a pitfall effect at random intervals, if it hits a recovering opponent, the attack will spike. Starting lag to this move is high, there is no ending lag however. The range of this move is lower than the Side Smash, due to the sparks not travelling very far away from Dig Dug before dissipating. So essentially this move is like Charizard's down smash, but just a tad more powerful.
- Ledge attack: Dig Dug gets up, thrusting his drill forward.
- 100% ledge attack: Dig Dug gets up, thrusting his drill backward.
- Ground attack: Dig Dug gets up, thrusting his drill downward.
- Trip attack: Dig Dug gets up, thrusting his drill backward.
Grabs, Throws
- Grab- Dig Dug shoots his pump to grab the opponent. Can be used as a tether for recovery purposes.
- Pummel- The enemy is drawn in by the pump and they are jabbed with the drill.
- Forward- The enemy is drawn in and launched by a drill jab. A weak throw, does not have the power to kill.
- Backward- The enemy is drawn in and wiffed along the ground by the drill.
- Up- Dig Dug draws the enemy in and then pops them up into the air with his drill.
- Down- The enemy is drawn in and drilled into the ground launching them. This is Dig Dug's most reliable killing throw, and will kill around 120%.
- Neutral- Dig Dug drills downward, which well force the opponent down to the ground. The opponent suffers scaled knock back, but like most neutrals in the air, it will not kill.
- Forward- Dig Dug drills the air before him causing the air to pop. It can kill at higher percents, 150% range.
- Backward- Dig Dug performs the same maneuver as his Forward Air only backwards. It can kill at higher percents, 150% range.
- Up- Dig Dug spawns and drills through a small colored block, this move has a range similar to Rosalina's up air. This move also has high K.O. potential.
- Down- Dig Dug takes a horizontal stance and performs a powerful drill pulse downward. This attack will always cause a meteor smash.

Rick Hillegas wrote: >>> Hi Satheesh, >>> >>> Do you think you could find some spare cycles to review this >>> enhancement and either commit the fix or suggest some improvments? I >>> would really appreciate it. Well I'm neither Satheesh nor Shreyas ;), but I did take a quick look at the patch and here are some minor things I noticed. 1) The diff for FromBaseTable.java is just the addition of a blank line; I think that can be removed from the patch... 2) I don't think we need to create a new test file to test this patch; it seems like the test cases that you put in bug171.sql could easily be included in the existing tests "update.sql" and "delete.sql". Generally speaking, it's less work to add test cases to existing (related) test files, and doing so has the added benefits of a) leaving the test directory less cluttered, and b) requiring fewer changes to the suite properties files (ex. your changes to lang/copyfiles.ant and suites/derbylang.runall wouldn't be necessary). Of course, the downside to this is that your test cases for DERBY-171 would then be separated into two files--but that doesn't seem like a major thing to me...*shrug* 3) The comment that you added to DERBY-171 when you posted the patch said the following: "I am now passing the outer fromList context down the subquery binding stack. This makes it possible to bind correlated references in those subqueries and fixes a cluster of other bugs." Can you elaborate on the "cluster of other bugs" that you mention here? If you are thinking of any other bugs in particular that are fixed with this patch, it'd be good to enumerate the bugs explicitly so that people (users and developers alike) who encounter them later can search Jira, find this issue, and see that their problem has been resolved as of svn revision <...>. A list of the other bugs that this patch fixes, along with test cases to show that the bugs existed and are fixed with this patch, would be extremely helpful. Maybe that's what your changes to refActions.sql are doing? (see type "d" changes below). If so, it'd be good to mention those specifics in the Jira issue so people know where to look for the relevant test cases. 4) From what I can tell, the changes to refActions1.out fall into four categories: a -- update/delete statements that used to throw syntax errors because of DERBY-171 were left unchanged but now run without error. Ex. see lines 7914-7923 of the patched refActions1.out file. b -- update/delete statements that used to throw syntax errors because of DERBY-171 were _rewritten_ and now run without error. Ex. see lines 5999-6005 of the patched refActions1.out file. c -- update/delete statements that used to throw syntax errors still throw syntax errors, but with different table names in the message. Ex. see lines 2777-2786 of the patched refActions1.out file. d -- select statements that used to fail with syntax errors now succeed, presumbaly because they have been fixed as part of the "cluster of other errors" that you mentioned when you posted the patch (that's just my guess). Ex. see lines 2935-2947 of the patched refActions1.out file. That said, I have the following two questions: * For the type "b" changes, I'm having problems seeing why the queries had to be rewritten. Since, so far as I can tell, the error that used to be thrown was a direct result of DERBY-171, it seems like running the queries exactly as-is with your patch should have led to a successful query. But that said, I'm guessing that wasn't the case, or you wouldn't have rewritten them ;) So can you say why the queries had to be rewritten? Was it because they were leading to diffs like those found in the type "c" changes? If they were throwing other errors, is it possible that the errors they were throwing were intentional (ex. to show some other feature/syntax that Derby didn't support)? I'm not saying that the queries shouldn't have been rewritten, I'm just curious as to _why_ they were rewritten... * For the type "c" changes, I'm just wondering if you intentionally left these diffs in, or was the intent to remove the errors altogether by rewriting the queries, as was done with the type "b" changes, in which case these just slipped through? Those are the comments I had on the patch. As I said, they're pretty minor and for a couple of them (esp. the last ones), the relevant changes might well be perfectly okay the way they are--I'm just trying to get things straight in my own head... Hope that's more helpful than it is confusing/frustrating... Army

E.L.F. Essentials Eyelid Primer Reviews
I'm a fan!For something as simple as primer, especially being used on a daily basis, I highly recommend this one. It's super budget friendly, does EXACTLY what it says it will do, and no shenanigans. At first use, the formula was extremely off-putting because it felt just like Crisco on the lids! But it does dry fast, leaving a smooth base that holds my eyeshadow, as well as liner. No, it's no Urban Decay, ...read moreit's ELF! All the praise aside, I probably would not recommend this to people who have longer than 8 hour days, unless they are fine with reapplication at the end of those 8 hours. While my eyeshadow and liner did not start creasing, they definitely started fading around hour 7. My day ends after 6:00 pm, thus I'm already home and taking off my makeup. But, I would say I'd have to reapply and perhaps redo my eye makeup if I was to go out after that. This is still a product I can't live without, though! For only a dollar, I love how it works for my oily lids and how it saves me dozens of dollars on a product as essential as primer! — 3 years, 2 months agotheycallmerainbow | 106 reviews

WowI fell in love with the urban decay potion primer, but I can't always afford it. I asked at Sephora what my other primer options are and she said she didn't have anything for cheaper that could rival urban decay. I picked this one up, because it was cheap enough that I wouldn't feel bad trashing it after the first use if it was awful. Boy was I in for a pleasent surprise. It does everything for me...read more that the UD potion does; completely conceals the unevenness of my natural eyelid color (way better than foundation), and sets my shadows and eyeliner so they last all day.

I feel like they are generous with the amount they put in the tube too, one little thing has lasted me several months of weekday use. One thing I would suggest though (which I found to be true of UD primer as well) is letting the primer sit for about a minute before applying shadow or liner.

Disappointed!FIgured to buy an eye primer instead of making my own via Youtube tutorials. I decided to give this one a shot considering it's $1. I think I prefer my handmade primer. I didn't like it at all. My lids had a weird chalkiness to it. When I applied eyeshadow, the colors didn't pop. They actually came out lighter in color.

It works for an evening outI like this primer. Don't love it, though. It cancels out any redness on my lids and helps hide any thread veins around my eyes. However it does give a white cast which won't work for all skin tones. And, it doesn't last all day. I can wear this for 6-7 hours without creasing depending on how humid it is.

Web resources for SQL
Server security"> Of course, practicing good security in general will help a great deal in securing SQL Server. Using vulnerability-checking applications and patch management tools will help IT managers find vulnerable systems, especially embedded MSDE engines. In addition, any applications that attach to the SQL Server database must be secure against common holes and exploits. If your applications are full of holes, securing SQL Server wont help. Finally, its important to educate yourself about SQL Server. There are excellent books available that go into great detail about configuring and securing SQL Server and Windows server systems.Labs Director Jim Rapoza can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Its also a good idea to frequently check Microsoft developer boards on SQL Server, where one can often find information on late-breaking problems as well as advanced tweaks and settings that can make SQL Server deployments more secure.

Sources close to Peninsula Hospital gave a negative prognosis to the chances of the Far Rockaway facility ever opening its doors again as a hospital after they were shut for good Monday.
John Macron, an attorney for one of the hospital's creditors, said his client spent all day Monday trying to negotiate a deal with two possible buyers who wanted to save the hospital, but both bids ultimately fell through.
His client, Dr. Wayne Dodakian, had filed an application in Bankruptcy Court to stop Lori Lapin Jones, the hospital's court-appointed trustee, from closing the hospital, but ultimately withdrew the application after negotiations collapsed.
Macron said the two offers were made by the Chicago-based People's Choice Health group and Revival Home Health Care.
"The two offers really had no substance to them," he said. "Basically, there was no buyer in reality."
The final death knell for Peninsula, at 51-15 Beach Channel Drive, may have come from the state Department of Health.
A representative said that as a part of the closure process, the department has requested Jones surrender the hospital's operating certificate. Several sources said that means any future buyer would have to go through a lengthy application process in order to reopen it as a full-service hospital.
Macron said the next step would be for the trustee to start auctioning off the hospital either in parts or as a whole.
"The interesting angle here is that any asset that is sold is generally sold to the highest and best offer," he said. "Theoretically, if someone comes in and says he'll pay $20 million and keep it as a hospital, or pay $25 million and put up condos, the court may say the hospital is the better offer."
Macron said it was up to elected officials in the area to put the pressure on the DOH to keep Peninsula's operating certificate in place.
Crain's New York reported that when Peninsula Hospital filed for bankruptcy protection last year, it had listed assets of $24.6 million and liabilities of $70.8 million. But its real troubles came in February when the DOH ordered it to shut down its lab after inspectors issued a report documenting a number of serious deficiencies, although advocates have claimed the lab was up to snuff.
Jones said it would take too much time and money to get the lab recertified and made plans to close the hospital.
Public outcry has focused on the fact that with the closure of Peninsula, the residents and visitors to the Rockaway Peninsula will be served by only one hospital: St. John's Episcopal, at 327 Beach 19th St.
The hospital's CEO, Nelson Toebbe, said St. John's has been taking immediate steps to prepare for the influx of patients.
"St. John's had already begun treating increased patient volumes in its emergency room over the past month and operations have worked smoothly," he said. "We are ramping up our capabilities to assume increases in patient care, including hiring additional staff for the emergency department, operating room and acute care units."
Toebbe added he has been working with DOH to get approval to expand the hospital's emergency department and acute care areas.

Ghost Rider's Storm Bringer; FBTB Mech Madness Entry.
Tired of Being known as "The Freak on the motorcycle", Johnny Blaze breaks tradition and runs away from the circus to get a fresh start on life.
Still pursued by all forms of evil spat out by Hell, a plan begins to form to let him enjoy a quiet life once again.
With the help of Tony Stark, he ditches his motorcycle for something a bit on the nastier side.
And so the Storm Bringer was born.
Weight: 200 tons.
Armament: 2 Stark Industries Miniguns.
2 Stark industries Armor piercing missile packs.
Speed: 30 MPH.
Scare factor: +1
Terrible stats and backstory aside, here's my FBTB Mech Madness entry.
Heavily inspired by mecha from both Mechwarrior and Warhammer 40K.
I believe that this is my largest Mech to date! It stands on it's own two feet with no problem, and is very, VERY swooshable.
Build time is probably my longest from start to finish build I've ever done.

LAWK STAR Guitars Expands Inventory, Adds Three New Brands to Its Online Shop & Invite-Only Music C
Portland instrument retailer broadens its brand roster with Gallien-Krueger, Catalinbread and Hipshot
Gallien-Krueger was founded over 30 years ago and boasts professionals like Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ted Dwayne of Mumford and Sons as musicians who use its products. LAWK STAR now provides eight different Gallien-Krueger bass amplifiers and amplifier heads. LAWK STAR also carries two new Catalinbread guitar effects pedals -- the "Dirty Little Secret" overdrive pedal, and the "Echorec" echo pedal. Hipshot offers a wide array of hardware pieces for guitar and bass bridges, headstocks and knobs in order to help players to achieve the sounds they crave.
David Locke, LAWK STAR's owner, says the company is extremely particular when it comes to which brands it chooses to partner with and carry in the store. Each order is scrutinized so that only the best guitars, basses, strings, amps, pedals and hardware are provided for LAWK STAR's customers. That's why some of the products the company carries are specially ordered and built for sale through LAWK STAR and nowhere else.
"Many of our special boutique pieces will not be found in most music stores and are not mass produced," a statement on LAWK STAR's website makes clear. "However, we do recognize that many mass produced products are fantastic as well and do have proven track records. We just want to sell great quality and [great-sounding]
Gallien-Krueger, Catalinbread and Hipshot join the likes of the Breedlove, Dean, Dunlop, Paul Reed Smith and D'Addario brands as part of LAWK STAR's core roster. As a snippet from the company's bio says, "LAWK STAR Guitars will tailor to each musician's desires and dreams of their musical aspirations."
LAWK STAR Guitars is located in Portland, OR. You can find out more about the products they sell at www.lawkstarguitars.com, emailing at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling/texting (503)915-5824.

At DOT we're always working to build a stronger, more sustainable American transportation system. Part of that process is promoting new vehicle technologies and infrastructure that can reduce costs, fuel consumption, and our impact on the planet.
After all, we only have one planet—and our children depend on us to care for and protect it.
That's why as Chief Sustainability Officer for DOT, I'm excited to announce that we are the first Federal Agency to join the Department of Energy's (Energy.gov) Workplace Charging Challenge...
At the U.S. Department of Transportation, we aren't reserved about our ambitions for the future of roadway safety.
In 2012, traffic fatality rates fell to historic lows. Our roadways saw just 1.14 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. In 2013, that number fell even lower to 1.10 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Passenger vehicles, large trucks, motorcycles, and pedestrians all saw declines in crash-related fatalities.
In fact, since 2004, road fatalities have dropped 25 percent. And since this Department's founding, the United States has seen the motor vehicle fatality rate drop by 80 percent.
But, while we're proud of this accomplishment, we know it is not enough. Our vision for the future of road transportation is one Toward Zero Deaths, and yesterday I was proud to honor winners of the 2015 Roadway Safety Awards, who share our vision.
In 2013 --the most recent year of available data-- 3,964 people were killed in crashes involving large trucks. That includes 78 bicyclists and 338 pedestrians, or 2 and 8.5 percent respectively of all fatalities. A recent analysis also shows pedestrian and bicyclist deaths from crashes involving large trucks increasing at roughly the same rate as those from all motor vehicle crashes.
This Department is committed to improving safety for everyone, including bicyclists and pedestrians who may be required to sometimes share the road with large commercial trucks and buses.
And this Wednesday, November 18, at 2 pm EST, FMCSA takes the next step with a webinar examining large truck crash fatalities involving pedestrians and bicyclists...
The City of Willmar is a proud partner in a project to construct a railway by-pass on the community's west side. The project --officially called the Willmar Rail Connector and Industrial Access Project-- is known locally as the Willmar Wye project. Last Friday, Willmar was proud to welcome Federal Railroad Administrator Sarah Feinberg, who announced that the city and its project partners have been awarded a $10 million U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER grant to support the estimated $46 million cost of the project.
The Willmar Wye project is being developed with the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), Minnesota Department of Transportation, Kandiyohi County, and Kandiyohi County/City of Willmar Economic Development Commission. Currently, trains coming either from the northwest or from the southwest on BNSF lines have to pull all the way into the Willmar yard, reverse direction, and then head back to either the southwest or northwest. The project will result in approximately 10,000 feet of new track being constructed to connect two BNSF mainlines so the railway can bypass the City of Willmar to the west. It will provide for rail access to the west end of the expanded Willmar Industrial Park being developed at the site of the former airport.
With the award of TIGER funding, we anticipate that actual construction could begin in 2017, following land acquisition...
This Sunday, November 15, is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, a day honoring the millions who have been killed in crashes on the world's roads.
This year happens to be the 20th anniversary of this commemoration and the 10th anniversary of its adoption by the United Nations General Assembly. Here at the United States Department of Transportation, we think this 20/10 milestone in raising awareness of the need for greater road safety warrants something more from us than a Tweet or Facebook post.
In particular, given that the number of fatalities on America's roads have generally declined in recent years except for a noticeable spike in deaths among bicyclists and pedestrians, we want to focus our attention this World Remembrance Day on crash victims who were walking or biking...
Since 1985, the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville has played an important role in handling millions of tons of steel, grain, fertilizer, salt, and other bulk cargoes for both inbound and outbound markets --domestic and abroad. The port's central location connects the Midwest to the world with the Inland Waterways System, providing year-round access to the Great Lakes as well as ocean vessels in the Gulf of Mexico that can be transloaded with barges coming from or going to Jeffersonville. Trade through the port supports tens of thousands of jobs for Hoosiers and Kentuckians employed by the companies and farms that utilize the port every day, generating nearly $1.5 billion in economic value every year.
While the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville provides a number of competitive advantages to the Louisville region that includes southeast Indiana and north-central Kentucky, we know continued investments in infrastructure are crucial for ports to meet the predicted growth in freight, alleviate surface transportation congestion, and provide alternatives for shippers. It's good to see that DOT knows that, too.
Last month, Maritime Administrator Paul "Chip" Jaenichen visited the port to announce the award of a $10 million DOT Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery —or "TIGER"— grant...
Yesterday, I had the honor of addressing hundreds of dedicated U.S. servicemen and women, as well as their family members, loved ones and friends at the World War II Memorial on the National Mall here in Washington, DC. As a retired career naval officer, it was a special privilege for me to lead this heartfelt Veterans Day tribute to all of the members of the United States Armed Forces—from the hundreds of thousands who perished in past wars and conflicts, to the millions who stood with them, and especially those proudly serving today both at home and abroad.
As we reaffirmed the noble legacy of our veterans in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard—I also underscored the critical role and service of the U.S. Merchant Marine in every major overseas war involving our nation. While our military members have braved the line of fire in many battles, it is crucial that they get to the conflict, and it is crucial that they have the supplies and equipment to win the fight.
And, from World War I to the present day, U.S. Merchant Mariners and U.S. Flag vessels have been the foundation of that immensely valuable national capability.
Tomorrow, Americans across the country salute our veterans. In communities nationwide, our fellow citizens will honor veterans with parades and all manner of patriotic festivities – and deservedly so. As the leader of the Federal Highway Administration, I wanted to point out one of the biggest, and most enduring symbols of America's thanks: our nation's bridges.
Some of the nation's largest and most distinctive bridges are dedicated to those who fought to defend our country.
The world watched recently as two phenomenal runners –one American, the other Japanese– raced side by side in the final miles of the New York City Marathon, trading sixth and seventh places. It was not until the very end that Japan's Yuki Kawauchi slipped ahead of America's Meb Keflezighi by just three seconds. It looked like the runners were competing very intensely against each other, and they were.
But they were also collaborating.
After turning in one of the best performances by a Japanese runner in the New York race's history, Kawauchi in fact told reporters that without such competition, "I probably wouldn't have been able to push it this hard. I owe this race to Meb." Meanwhile, Keflezighi, who is 40 and ran the fastest marathon by a masters runner in American history, credited Kawauchi for helping him break the record.
As I visited Japan last weekend, it struck me that this moment in sports was a microcosm of the U.S.-Japan alliance. For 70 years, our countries have stood together as partners. We have run side by side --in a way competing, but mostly trying to push each other forward. President Obama and Prime Minister Abe have been trying to break through barriers --ranging from trade to climate change-- to further strengthen our bond. I went to Tokyo, in turn, to reaffirm our longstanding commitment to helping each other improve our transportation systems...
Since we announced our first round of awards in 2010, DOT's TIGER program has supported transportation projects that promise to transform cities, rural communities, and regions. For the 2015 TIGER grants --our seventh round—we've also selected a project whose benefits will help an entire state.
The State of Texas is receiving a TIGER 2015 grant for $20.8 million to replace more than 300 old and unreliable buses and vans in rural communities across the Lone Star State –the state with the largest rural population in America. These funds will also help build four new facilities to help maintain those vehicles and make it easier for people to connect to public transportation.
"Our rural residents rely on these transportation services to commute between jobs, school, doctor's appointments, and other destinations that help them maintain their independence while also contributing to the economy," said TxDOT Executive Director LtGen Joe Weber, USMC (Ret). "Without this funding, more than 70 percent of the rural transit fleet used for such services would be outdated by 2017."
