Sometimes the best evidence is anecdotal, and this may be one of those times. While most people in the hotel industry still believe financing is extremely difficult to find and, as a result, the hotel transactions market is at a standstill, there's a lot of buzz lately that at least some deals are getting done.
In the last week alone, we reported on these transactions:
• FelCor's completion of its $99-million purchase of the Fairmont Boston Copley Plaza,
• The acquisition of two Holiday Inns near the Denver airport by Stoneridge Capital Partners,
• Chatham Lodging Trust's 13th acquisition since April, a $32-million deal for an Embassy Suites north of San Diego,
• Fairwood Capital's purchase of an Embassy Suites at the St. Louis airport and
• RockBridge Partners' purchase of a 197-room Four Points by Sheraton in Ann Arbor, MI.
And yesterday, Host Hotels & Resorts, the largest lodging owner in the business, said it plans to dive back into the public markets to raise up to $400 million to buy more hotels. Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels recently re-forecast its projections for the size of the 2010 transactions market. The firm now says hotel sales should total between $4 billion and $4.5 billion this year, up by nearly $1 billion over its previous estimate.
"The uptick in investment volume gained considerable momentum with deal volumes marking a rise for three consecutive quarters," says JLL Managing Director Art Adler. "The outlook for hotel transactions is increasing favorable."
This flurry of deals doesn't mean you'll probably be able to go out and get an 80-percent loan to buy that Hilton Garden Inn you have your eye on. In fact, much of the current deal flow is fueled by cash-rich lodging REITs who must consummate transactions to meet their investor obligations. But, like with most things in business, as the number of deals begins to increase, lenders will slowly develop a greater affection for the lodging market again, opening the money spigot that might even be wide enough for you to get funding for that Hilton Garden Inn. But don't bet it will be an 80-percent loan. Those days are over for a while.

Awful news. I pray this doesn't effect his play, or ability to get on this field. I'm sure he'll make a full recovery though.
We've confirmed that Ravens linebacker Sergio Kindle has been hospitalized with a head injury suffered on Thursday night. A league source tells us that Kindle initially had some swelling inside his skull, but the situation has since improved significantly.

WCSU to host 'Caribbean Pop' exhibit
DANBURY, CONN. — Western Connecticut State University will welcome renowned Dominican artist German Perez to display his "Caribbean Pop" exhibit. The exhibit will be on display from Saturday, May 7, to Friday, May 20, in the Ruth Haas Library on the Midtown campus, 181 White Street in Danbury.
At 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11, Perez will be present at the exhibit for the official opening. He will give a brief talk about his work and also will hold a book signing.
Perez predominately features issues of Caribbean life, politics and processes of migration to the U.S. in his paintings. His work has been exhibited worldwide and has been adopted as the cover art for several Julia Alvarez books.
WCSU Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Carina Bandhauer spoke of the importance of Perez's work.
"German Perez's work embodies the spirit of the history and struggles of Caribbean peoples past and present, reflecting, above all, his social conscience and concern for the world," Bandhauer said. "His colorful images depict struggles between innocence and evil, borders and migrants, and reclaim the indigenous identity of the Taino people in what remains a neo-colonial world."
For more information, contact Bandhauer at (203) 837-8650.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York.

Alice Waters' Ratatouille
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: A genius recipe from Alice Waters' 2007 cookbook The Art of Simple Food: ratatouille that fusses only where it needs to fuss (over the eggplant), and adds a few smart, modern details -- red chile flakes, a basil bouquet -- that improve on a well-worn classic. Note: All vegetables conveniently work out to about a pound. —Genius Recipes
Serves: 6 to 8
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 50 min
medium or 2 small eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch dice
tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more to taste
medium onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
to 6 garlic cloves, chopped
bunch basil, tied in a bouquet with kitchen twine + 6 basil leaves, chopped
pinch dried chile flakes
sweet peppers, cut into 1/2-inch dice
medium summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch dice
ripe medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Salt to taste
- Toss the eggplant cubes with a teaspoon or so of salt. Set the cubes in a colander to drain for about 20 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Pat the eggplant dry, add to the pan, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden. Add a bit more oil if the eggplant absorbs all the oil and sticks to the bottom of the pan. Remove the eggplant when done and set aside.
- In the same pot, pour in 2 more tablespoons olive oil. Add onions and cook for about 7 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, basil bouquet, dried chile flakes, and a bit more salt.
- Cook for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir in peppers. Cook for a few more minutes, then stir in summer squash. Cook for a few more minutes, then stir in tomatoes.
- Cook for 10 minutes longer, then stir in eggplant and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more, until all the vegetables are soft. Remove the bouquet of basil, pressing on it to extract all its flavors, and adjust the seasoning with salt.
- Stir in the chopped basil leaves and more extra virgin olive oil, to taste. Serve warm or cold.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

The tours which followed through the mid-1970s did more than feed Beck's ego, however.
They also pinpointed a musical direction he had never seriously considered, one in which the instrumentation was the star, and the instrumentalists were simply the vehicles which carried it to the stage. And once he was joined by Dutch percussion genius Jan Hammer, early into the Wired sessions, suddenly the sky was the limit.

Panoramic & True's sophomore album "Wonderlust" aspires to the orchestral indie-pop of similarly minded acts like Canadian collective Broken Social Scene.There's vibrancy and immediacy to P&T;'s music that was inspired at least in part by the throwback recording process. Rather than working in a computerized studio and Auto-Tuning every note, the band decamped to the attic of frontman John Lennox's Pilsen apartment and recorded everything live to analog tape, which explains why the singer refers to the crew's sound as "orchestrated dirt.""It's an overdriven, orchestral sound," he said, "but with how it's recorded everything comes out a little dirty."Reached at home, Lennox, 32, discussed Canada's affinity for orchestral pop, his dreams of becoming a Major Leaguer and the surprising band he first started listening to as a way to meet girls.A lot of this orchestral, indie-pop sound seems to originate in Canada. What's your perspective on that as a native Canadian (Lennox was born in Ontario and spent eight years living in Montreal)?Yeah, you're right. I don't know why. I can't speak for Toronto, but in Montreal there's an open-mindedness to arrangements and to the things that go into making a band that is pretty unique. There's a really democratic spirit in the art scene there...and that might lead to it.You sing, "It gets so hard to open up" on "Open Up." Are you generally a more reserved person?Yeah. Historically I have been a bit more reserved. When you finally open up about something emotionally difficult, it is so cathartic. It's one of those wonderful feelings, so it's something that's been on my mind for a long time.How did you ever find yourself fronting a rock band if you're so shy?[Laughs] You know, I've always had a big enough ego to imagine myself in positions of leadership. When I was a kid I wanted to be a baseball player, and I wanted of course to be a pitcher because you're essentially the leader and you're in control and everyone is watching you. Fronting a rock band is kind of the same thing.Being from Canada, aren't you supposed to be a big hockey fan though?I used to be, but not anymore. I've fallen out of love with the game a little bit. The season is too long. There are too many concussions. The good players are always out injured.How would you define the word "wonderlust"?How do you get to that in just a couple seconds? It's this idea of being amazed by everything that happens in life and how that makes you curious for more.What's the last thing you experienced that made you feel that way?Oh, probably a day at the lake--just the blueness of the water and how cold it is. Long drives across country. I drive up to Canada pretty often, so cutting across southern Ontario at twilight on a hot summer's day is pretty great.The press release for the album really plays up the analog recording process. Are you not a fan of digital recording?I wouldn't say I'm not a fan, but we recorded "Wonderlust" with an eight-track tape machine...and I think making something unique was important to me. I'm not against digital recording at all, but I think it's hard to make digital recordings sound unique. There tends to be kind of a house sound for everyone using Pro Tools.What's the inspiration behind the song "A Week of Good Health?"I was thinking back to when you're a kid and you're sick for awhile...and then suddenly that day happens where you're not sick anymore and there's that feeling of suddenly being able to run outside and smell what the world smells like again. It's like being born again.Were you a sickly child or something?[Laughs] No, no.In addition to the record release show, you're also scheduled to perform Belle & Sebastian's "The Boy With the Arab Strap" at the Whistler on July 29. Was that an important album for you growing up?Well, kind of. I first started listening to Belle & Sebastian because all these girls I knew were listening to it, and I was like, "Wow, who is this band all these attractive girls like?"
That's funny. A twee, introspective Scottish group isn't the first that comes to mind for most when it comes to meeting ladies.Yeah, who knows? I guess there were just some cute girls in that scene.Panoramic and True
10 p.m. Friday at Hideout, $8John Lennox personality test
What's the last album you bought? Frog Eyes: "Paul's Tomb: A Triumph"
Song you've listened to on repeat recently? "Ooh, that's a good question. I couldn't give the artist, but you know that song, He wears a purple sash and a black mustache in a honky tonk in Mexico?' That one (The Coasters: 'Down in Mexico')."
Song you never want to hear again? The Eagles: "Hotel California"
Best concert you've seen in the last year? "What concert have I seen in the last year? Jonathan Richman in Millennium Park."
New band you don't know personally that deserves to be big? "That's a problem. I only know bands that I know personally."
Favorite movie ever? "I'm going to have to go with 'Chinatown.'"
Chicago's best music venue? The Hideout

General Comments: Futures were mostly a little lower in Sao Paulo and New York, but higher in London. Charts still show that all three markets are trying to complete a bottom and might have got the job done. There is more and more talk that the market is getting ready to rally in New York after all the selling seen in the past months. Speculators have been very short and all the news has pointed to lower prices, so it would not take much in the way of bullish news to change the short term trend. Current crop development is good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting beneficial rain for the developing crop. However, some are noting dry conditions in northern production areas. Central and northern Brazil are expected to get some rain this week, though, and some central areas got some rain yesterday. Central America crops are getting harvested, and conditions are called good there. There are widespread reports of rust on the trees and leaves, and Roya has become a big issue as well. It is possible that many Central America and Mexico producers will harvest much less Coffee next year if they are affected by this disease, and many seem to be affected. We are already hearing significant loss estimates for the next crop due to Roya. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are lower today and are about 2.5898 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 138.10 ct/lb. Brazil should get scattered showers and storms through the weekend. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get mostly dry conditions, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions, but a few showers are possible in central and eastern Mexico. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 158.00, 1609.00, and 170.00 March. Support is at 149.00, 146.00, and 143.00 March, and resistance is at 157.00, 160.00, and 162.00 March. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 2100 and 2290 March. Support is at 1945, 1930, and 1910 March, and resistance is at 1975, 1990, and 2000 March. Trends in Sao Paulo are up with objectives of 199.00 March. Support is at 187.00, 184.50, and 183.50 March, and resistance is at 193.50, 195.00, and 196.00 March.
General Comments: Futures were mixed to a little lower in consolidation trading. Traders were still reacting to the USDA reports. The domestic reports were bullish, but the world reports showed big supplies. There are still ideas that Cotton demand can hold strong and support U.S. prices. Some are wondering if planted area might be lower next year here in the U.S. because of weak prices against competing crops. The area lost would go mostly to Corn and Soybeans. Current weather features some precipitation in Delta and Southeast areas, but western Texas was mostly dry. Trends are not well defined on the charts, but ideas are that the market can continue to work higher overall. Wire reports indicate that the first Chinese auction of Cotton into the domestic market failed due to poor quality.
Overnight News: The Delta will be dry all week and Southeast will get showers or rains through Thursday, then will see dry conditions move from west to east the balance of the week. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Texas will get dry weather. Temperatures will average near to above normal. The USDA spot price is now 70.94 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.101 million bales, from 0.100 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed. Support is at 74.40, 73.70, and 73.25 March, with resistance of 76.40, 76.95, and 77.05 March.

About Glens Falls Hospital
Glens Falls Hospital is the largest hospital between Albany, NY, and Montreal, Canada, and the comprehensive health care system for New York's Warren, Washington, northern Saratoga, Essex, Hamilton and northern Rensselaer counties. In addition to our main acute care hospital campus, we operate 29 regional health care facilities, including health centers in the communities of Cambridge, Corinth, Granville, Greenwich, Salem, Whitehall and Wilton.
Simply put, our not-for-profit hospital provides a health care safety net for individuals and families from the immediate Glens Falls area to smaller, geographically remote communities tucked away in the heart of the six-million-acre Adirondack Park.
Recognizing the Hospital's importance to the wellbeing of this broad, far-flung population, the Hospital's volunteer Board of Governors and our administrative and medical staffs have worked diligently over the years to recruit outstanding physicians and provide local people with a broad scope of services and expertise that would otherwise not be available without traveling to more distant cities.
We have more than 225 affiliated physicians, ranging from primary care practitioners to surgical subspecialists. Our physicians are board-certified in more than 25 specialties.
We have also established a diverse array of community outreach programs, bringing our expertise and services to people in outlying portions of our service area. These outreach programs are especially important for low-income individuals and families who may otherwise fail to seek out health care due to financial or transportation concerns. Our objective is to prevent health care problems and detect existing conditions earlier, keeping local people healthier and reducing future medical costs.
Glens Falls Hospital is here for you
As a not-for-profit, community hospital, Glens Falls Hospital has three important obligations:
- Reinvestment in Quality Care. Any money earned by the hospital is reinvested to hire and train high-quality medical professionals and to provide our community with the latest health care technologies and services.
- Quality Care to All. Glens Falls Hospital has a responsibility to provide high quality care to local people, regardless of their ability to pay. Each year, we provide millions of dollars in uncompensated care to local people who do not have health insurance, are not eligible for Medicaid and cannot afford to pay for their own care. At the same time, continuing changes in our nation's and state's health care payment systems mean that Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance plans often pay us less for our services than it actually costs to provide them. Each year, we incur millions of dollars in costs that are not reimbursed for this reason.
- Quality Care, Close to Home. With a service area that stretches across six, primarily rural counties and 3,300 square miles, we make every effort to bring care to local people in their communities, through primary care centers, school-based programs and mobile health care services. Many of these services do not generate enough revenue to pay for themselves, but are provided because the lives of local people depend on them.

To improve the health of people in our region by providing access to exceptional, affordable, and patient-centered care every day and in every setting.

PHOENIX (AP) — President Barack Obama called an Arizona immigration bill "misguided" Friday and said it could violate people's civil rights, intensifying pressure on the state's Republican governor to veto the nation's toughest legislation against illegal immigration.
PHOENIX (AP) — President Barack Obama called an Arizona immigration bill "misguided" Friday and said it could violate people's civil rights, intensifying pressure on the state's Republican governor to veto the nation's toughest legislation against illegal immigration.
Obama said he's instructed the Justice Department to examine the Arizona bill to see if it's legal, and said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to "irresponsibility by others."
"That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe," Obama said.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who faces a tough election battle and growing anger in the state over illegal immigrants, scheduled an afternoon news conference Friday to announce her decision.
The sweeping measure would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It would also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.
Brewer is under intense pressure from anti-illegal immigration groups and lawmakers in her own party to sign the bill, but has given no indication what she will do.
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the State Capitol complex Friday calling on Brewer to veto the legislation.
Demonstrators have been camped outside the Capitol since the measure passed out of the Legislature on Monday. Their numbers have grown steadily throughout the week, with buses bringing protesters from as far away as Los Angeles.
About a dozen supporters of the measure also gathered.
The bill's Republican sponsor, state Rep. Russell Pearce of Mesa, said Obama and other critics of the bill were "against law enforcement, our citizens and the rule of law."
Pearce said the legislation would remove "political handcuffs" from police and help drive illegal immigrants from the state.
"Illegal is illegal," said Pearce, a driving force on the issue in Arizona. "We'll have less crime. We'll have lower taxes. We'll have safer neighborhoods. We'll have shorter lines in the emergency rooms. We'll have smaller classrooms."
Hundreds of Hispanics protested the legislation at the State Capitol complex on Thursday.
U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat who opposes the measure, said he's closing his Arizona offices at noon Friday after his staff in Yuma and Tucson were flooded with calls this week, some from people threatening violent acts and shouting racial slurs.
Arizona has an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants and is the state with the most illegal border crossings, with the harsh, remote desert serving as the gateway for thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans.
Other provisions of the bill allow lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws, and make it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them.
The bill would take effect 90 days after the current legislative session ends if it becomes law.
Brewer faces a contested Aug. 24 Republican primary election, and one of her opponents, State Treasurer Dean Martin, has called on her to sign the legislation.
Also, the March 27 shooting death of rancher Bob Krentz on his property in southeastern Arizona has brought illegal immigration and border security into greater focus in the state. Authorities believe Krentz was killed by an illegal border crosser.
Since the shooting, Brewer and other officeholders and candidates have toured the state's border with Mexico. On Thursday, she ordered a reallocation of state National Guard and law enforcement resources and called on the federal government to deploy National Guard troops.
Arizona has previously passed a variety of get-tough measures dealing with illegal immigration.
Brewer's predecessor, Janet Napolitano, a Democrat who is now President Barack Obama's Homeland Security secretary, vetoed proposals similar to the bill just approved by the Legislature.
But she signed a 2007 law that imposes sanctions against employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Other state laws make human smuggling a state crime and restrict illegal immigrants' eligibility for public services.
The Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund said the bill before Brewer is unconstitutional because regulation of immigration is a federal responsibility.
Others urging Brewer to veto the bill include Catholic bishops, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, and Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for governor. Mexico's embassy also has voiced concerns about racial profiling.
A Phoenix Law Enforcement Association representative acknowledged that racial profiling can occur but said fears associated with the bill are unfounded.
"We're not targeting any particular group," said Levi Bolton, a retired police detective. "Cops are not here to do these things to you."

Stores look to week after Christmas for sales
Bargain-hungry Americans will need to go on a post-Christmas spending binge to salvage this holiday shopping season.
Despite the huge discounts and other incentives that stores offered leading up to Christmas, U.S. holiday sales so far this year have been the weakest since 2008, when the nation was in a deep recession.
So stores now are depending on the days after Christmas to make up lost ground: The final week of December can account for about 15 percent of the month's sales, and the day after Christmas is typically one of the biggest shopping days of the year.
Fees undermine fliers' ability to compare fares
WASHINGTON (AP) — For many passengers, air travel is only about finding the cheapest fare.
But as airlines offer a proliferating list of add-on services, from early boarding to premium seating and baggage fees, the ability to comparison-shop for the lowest total fare is eroding.
Global distribution systems that supply flight and fare data to travel agents and online ticketing services like Orbitz and Expedia, accounting for half of all U.S. airline tickets, complain that airlines won't provide fee information in a way that lets them make it handy for consumers trying to find the best deal.
US economy could handle short fall over 'cliff'
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economic threat that's kept many Americans on edge for months is nearing reality — unless the White House and Republicans cut a budget deal by New Year's Day.
Huge tax increases. Deep cuts in domestic and defense programs. The likelihood of sinking stock prices, reduced consumer spending and corporate layoffs. The risk of a recession within months.
Still, the start of 2013 may turn out to be far less bleak than feared. For one thing, the two sides may strike a short-term agreement before New Year's that postpones spending cuts until spring. President Barack Obama and members of Congress return to Washington Thursday.
Starbucks cups to come with a political message
NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks is using its coffee cups to jump into the political fray in Washington.
The world's biggest coffee chain is asking employees at cafes in the Washington, D.C., area to scribble the words "Come Together" on cups for drink orders on Thursday and Friday. CEO Howard Schultz says the words are intended as a message to lawmakers about the damage being caused by the divisive negotiations over the "fiscal cliff."
It's the first time employees at Starbucks cafes are being asked to write anything other than customers' names on cups.
US home prices rise in October from previous year
WASHINGTON (AP) — US home prices rose in most major cities in October compared with a year ago, pushed up by rising sales and a decline in the supply of available homes. Higher prices show the housing market is improving even as it moves into the more dormant fall and winter sales period.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller national home price index released Wednesday increased 4.3 percent in October compared with a year ago. That's the largest year-over-year increase in two and a half years, when a homebuyer tax credit temporarily boosted sales.
Prices rose in October from a year ago in 18 of 20 cities. Phoenix led all cities with a 21.7 percent gain, followed Detroit, where prices increased 10 percent. Prices declined in Chicago and New York.
US Treasury to take steps to avoid borrowing limit
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Treasury Department will begin taking steps to delay hitting the government's $16.4 trillion borrowing limit on Dec. 31.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter Wednesday to congressional leaders that the department will use accounting measures to save approximately $200 billion, which could keep the government from reaching the limit for about two months.
The move comes as President Barack Obama and the GOP congressional leadership are locked in negotiations over how to avoid a series of tax increases and spending cuts, known as the "fiscal cliff," that are scheduled to take effect in the new year.
Ticket rush: Film fans hand Hollywood record cash
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The big deal for Hollywood is not the record $10.8 billion that studios took in domestically in 2012. It's the fact that the number of tickets sold went up for the first time in three years.
Thanks to inflation, revenue generally rises in Hollywood as admission prices climb each year. The real story is told in tickets, whose sales have been on a general decline for a decade, bottoming out in 2011 at 1.29 billion, their lowest level since 1995.
The industry rebounded this year, with ticket sales projected to rise 5.6 percent to 1.36 billion by Dec. 31, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. That's still well below the modern peak of 1.6 billion tickets sold in 2002, but in an age of cozy home theater setups and endless entertainment gadgets, studio executives consider it a triumph that they were able to put more butts in cinema seats this year than last.
Settlement reached in Toyota acceleration cases
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it has reached a settlement worth more than $1 billion in a case involving hundreds of lawsuits over acceleration problems in its vehicles.
The company said in a statement that the deal will resolve cases involving motorists who said the value of their vehicles was adversely affected by previous recalls stemming from sudden acceleration problems.
Lawyer Steve Berman, a plaintiffs' attorney, said the settlement is the largest settlement in U.S. history involving automobile defects.
Berkshire Hathaway sells 2 short-line railroads
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett's company has sold two short-line railroads it recently discovered it owned to satisfy regulators who might have reviewed Berkshire Hathaway's 2010 acquisition of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad.
Berkshire told the Transportation Department's Surface Transportation Board earlier this month that it had completed the sale of both short-line railroads ahead of schedule.
If Berkshire had reported owning those railroads when it bought BNSF, the Surface Transportation Board would have had to scrutinize the deal. Berkshire first disclosed owning the railroads to the Surface Transportation Board in September.
Bristol-Myers, Pfizer's Eliquis approved in Japan
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Regulators in Japan have approved sales of an anticlotting drug called Eliquis, developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Pfizer Inc., that's a potential blockbuster in a new category of medicines to prevent strokes and heart attacks. But that's only if it can win U.S. approval, as two rival drugs have done.
Pfizer and Bristol-Myers said Wednesday that Japan approved use of Eliquis for treating the most common type of irregular heartbeat, atrial fibrillation, in patients at risk for strokes or dangerous clots called systemic embolisms. Already approved for sale in Canada and the European Union, Eliquis has twice been rejected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
About a quarter of all people aged 40 and older develop atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart's two upper chambers contract irregularly and don't pump blood efficiently. This can persist for years or only happen occasionally. It increases the risk of a stroke fivefold, and strokes caused by atrial fibrillation are more severe than other strokes, with half of patients who suffer them dying within a year if not treated.

Residents of the shelter spoke at September's Board meeting about a search that was conducted at the premises. The search was undertaken as a means to identify drug abusers, who would then be removed from the shelter, but some residents described the search as a raid that involved a strong police presence and careless, if not violent, treatment of the veterans and their belongings over a four-hour period.
According to DHS representative Mary Wilson Hall, who oversaw the searches alongside shelter staff and members of the NYPD, the incident was part of the effort to change the character of the shelter by its new management company, ICL.
"As a provider of services to this facility, ICL has made efforts to change the culture of the Borden Avenue veteran's shelter to one of respect," said Hall. "We all are concerned about the abuse of drugs at the shelter, and ICL said that drugs are coming in, so we conducted a locker search."
As the shelter is owned by the city, it is their right to conduct searches whenever DHS deems it necessary. Residents of New York City shelters sign forms that allow for random searches before they are permitted to enter.
At the search in question, residents were present the entire time, and Hall said that every effort was made to respect the residents' personal space. During the search, which Hall said lasted no more than an hour and a half, several arrests for possession of drugs were made, and two complaints were filed by residents against the DHS regarding broken property.
"We understand that some of the residents felt violated, but there is a real change of culture going on there," said Hall. "There are a number of people that have been at that shelter for far too long. It's meant to be short-term housing."
Responding to rumors of abuse, Wilson said that under no circumstances would any residents there be physically harmed.
Community Board Chairman Joe Conley sad that the shelter had been very quiet since the inspection, indicating a positive change in management, but said that the community board would like to establish a stronger relationship with ICL and DHS.

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — The Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes are trying to raise money to send a group of drummers and dancers to Washington so Wyoming isn't without representation at next week's presidential inaugural parade.
Northern Arapaho tribal liaison Gary Collins said Monday that the Presidential Inaugural Committee contacted him just over a week ago to let him know that Wyoming would be the only state not represented at the parade to mark President Barack Obama's second swearing-in ceremony unless he was able organize a last-minute delegation.
Collins reached out to both the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes and they've organized a group of at least 15 dancers and drummers from the Wind River Reservation, a Democratic stronghold in the strongly Republican state.
Collins said he has contacted business groups, the oil and gas industry and fundraisers in Jackson. No one has committed to donating some of the $35,000 needed, but nobody has turned him down either. An account has been set up at Atlantic City Federal Credit Union to accept donations.
"We're on pins and needles right now," he said.
Collins has been seeking Secret Service security clearances for the group's members in case they are able to make the trip. The group would need to drive to Denver on Thursday in order to fly to Washington on Friday. Collins said rooms in Washington during the inaugural festivities are averaging $450 a night.
Wind River drummers and dancers represented Wyoming at Obama's inaugural parade in 2009.
The Navajo Nation hopes to send a tribal band with members from Arizona, New Mexico and Utah to the Jan. 21 parade.
Tribe President Ben Shelly has asked more than 400 Navajo government offices to donate money. Band director Darwyn Jackson said Monday that the group is about $11,000 short of the nearly $104,000 it needs to send some 80 volunteer band members. He said he was confident sponsors would come through so that the band could make its first appearance in the inaugural parade since 1973.

WASHINGTON -- Poor women who stay at home to raise their children should be given federal assistance for child care so that they can enter the job market and "have the dignity of work," Mitt Romney said in January, undercutting the sense of extreme umbrage he showed when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen quipped last week that Ann Romney had not "worked a day in her life."
The remark, made to a Manchester, N.H., audience, was unearthed by MSNBC's "Up w/Chris Hayes," and aired during the 8 a.m. hour of his show Sunday.
Mitt Romney, however, judging by his January remark, views stay-at-home moms who are supported by federal assistance much differently than those backed by hundreds of millions in private equity income. Poor women, he said, shouldn't be given a choice, but instead should be required to work outside the home to receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits. "[E]ven if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work," Romney said of moms on TANF.
Recalling his effort as governor to increase the amount of time women on welfare in Massachusetts were required to work, Romney noted that some had considered his proposal "heartless," but he argued that the women would be better off having "the dignity of work" -- a suggestion Ann Romney would likely take issue with.
I probably should comment here but this one leaves me speechless.

Whooping cough alert
NSW Health is warning parents to be on the alert for whooping cough following an increase in the number of school-aged children diagnosed with the disease over the last few weeks. Whooping cough – also known as pertussis – is a serious respiratory infection that causes a long coughing illness, and can be life-threatening for babies. Older children can bring home whooping cough from school or childcare and the infection can then be passed on to babies in the home.

Communities around the state got a glimpse of the performance talent of NSW public school students who sprung into action at a series of flash mobs to celebrate the start of Education Week 2010. About 500 students descended on Sydney's Circular Quay for an energetic performance as part of a flash mob - an event where a group of people are organised to quickly assemble in a public place to do something unexpected and then disperse. Concurrent flash mobs, involving almost 200 other NSW public school students, were held at Miranda and Orange.... Read more

Cool lunch ideas
Keeping your child safe from food poisoning could be as simple as packing a frozen drink in with their lunch each day.

You might be aware that FDA plays a key role in assuring the safety and efficacy of products such as drugs, vaccines and foods. But less well known is the agency's critical regulatory oversight of our nation's blood supply.
Blood saves and improves the lives of millions of individuals each year. It is used for transfusions for example, to replace blood loss during surgery, childbirth or following a traumatic injury. Blood and blood products are also a key part of the medical treatment of serious illnesses such as cancer, organ failure, or sickle cell disease. Additionally, blood and blood products are used to prevent and treat many medical conditions, such as infections and blood clotting disorders.
The Office of Blood Research and Review, which is part of FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, regulates both whole blood and blood components for transfusion, as well as various other blood products. FDA works with blood collecting establishments, product manufacturers, health care providers, patient organizations, academic researchers, and other government agencies to ensure a safe and adequate blood supply.
FDA goes to great lengths to ensure that our blood products are safe. FDA reviews and approves new products, conduct research, issue guidances and regulations, conduct inspections of manufacturing facilities, and communicates with manufacturers, consumers and health care providers about blood product safety and efficacy issues. FDA also assists in product recalls when necessary, and works with regulatory agencies in other nations as well as international organizations such as the World Health Organization.
Blood donation is another key area where FDA plays a major role. Beginning with safe donations, we regulate the processes by which blood is collected and manufactured
Each year, nearly 11 million volunteer donors provide about 17,000,000 donations of blood and blood components for transfusion to about 4.5 million recipients, according to the National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey Report. About a third of these volunteers are first-time donors. And, more than 18 million units of Source Plasma are donated each year for use in manufacturing plasma-derived products, such as clotting factors and immune globulins.
To make sure blood and blood products are safe for recipients, FDA has established a system of five layers of safety for donated blood. Maintaining an adequate supply of blood and blood components is vitally important, and to help achieve this goal the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recognizes and participates in World Blood Donor Day.
We hope this information gives you a better idea of how FDA helps keep blood and blood products safe and available for you and your family. And, we urge you to consider helping to save lives by donating blood today!
Richard J. Davey, MD, is Director of CBER's Division of Blood Applications, Office of Blood Research and Review

For the best experience on the Abcam website please upgrade to a modern browser such as Google Chrome
Abcam's Human MIA in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate quantitative measurement of Human MIA in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA) and saliva.
A MIA specific mouse monoclonal antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells and incubated. A biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat, specific for MIA is then added followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. TMB is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction.

"Is Nick Denton Changing the Way People Communicate Online?"
"Disruptive" is so over-used. That's my headline rewrite for this article. What's yours?
Much of the attention in the digital-media sphere tends to get focused on relative upstarts like BuzzFeed, or dramatic moves like Andrew Sullivan's go-it-alone blogging effort, and with good reason. But meanwhile, Gawker Media founder Nick Denton keeps on methodically trying to re-engineer the entire way that content works online — not to mention reshaping the relationship between Gawker as a publisher and what Jay Rosen and Dan Gillmor have referred to as "the people formerly known as the audience."
Is there a case to be made that Denton is the most disruptive force in online media right now? I think there is.
As an example, take the latest features that Gawker is rolling out for its Kinja discussion platform, which has been steadily evolving from just a commenting system into a bottom-up publishing method — one that gives readers far more power than they have on virtually any…

Man, I just watched this movie last night. I tend to think that Michael Moore is a wee bit full of himself, but this was a very good film. Especially the last half where he takes the 9/11 volunteers (who were denied benefits from the fund set up to help them) to Cuba, where they receive free medical care with open arms. One woman gets her $120 (US) prescription filled for 5 cents.
WTF is wrong with the US? It's almost embarrassing to live here. We supposedly "lead the world" and we can't even feed and take care of ourselves. Gah.
Anyone else seen this?

I've seen the movie twice and completely agree. It seems far more important for the US to enrich insurance companies than it is to care for its citizens.

I've seen the film awhile ago and just shook my head right through it. Imagine someone being dumped on the street from a //hospital// because they can't afford the care.
MM may be a bit one-sided, (as his critics say), but he does put his point across very well.
Can you imagine being asked to choose which finger you'd like to save after an accident?

That's exactly what I did too, shake my head. It's unbelievable.
Unfortunately, I CAN imagine having to consider which finger I would like to save, being a US citizen, and having to pay tons of money every month for shitty health insurance that's only valid at certain hospitals. And even then we have to pay a percentage. That is, unless you haven't met your deductible. And then the cost of prescriptions... It's absolutely ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that had I been born 300 miles to the north of where I was, that scenario wouldn't even come up. So by virtue of geography and artificial boundaries, I get to choose whether to pay hospital bills or pay rent if I get sick.
It's really too bad that the average American won't stop watching American Idol or paying attention to what Britney Spears did this week long enough to see this film. If enough people saw this, there would be riots.

People actually taking such action is pretty rare. People will riot over food, but poor health care, not really. We're just told to be scared of the health care in other countries.

Actually, I thought the movie could have been better considering how juicy the target subject matter is. It was a little light on facts, but laden with anecdotes.
For instance, I was surprised that Moore never mentioned that despite not covering almost a sixth of the population, the American medical system is by far the most expensive in the world, half again as costly as then second priciest health care (Switzerland) and about twice as pricey as the mean in the OECD (industrialized capitalist countries of Europe, Japan, US). We even pay a far greater percentage of GDP for health care than other "advanced" industrialized nations. "Administrative" costs are more than 3 times as high in the market-based American medical system as they are in the supposedly uncompetitive monopolistic Canadian government run health care industry. Merkins, often being selfish and materialistic, might respond to arguments about how stunningly inefficient and overpriced our system is.
Also, I think he should have mentioned that the majority of health care dollars are already coming from the government, even in the U.S., it is just that they are channeled through the pockets of the largely for-profit infrastructure first. Medicare provides coverage for millions of people who would simply be uninsurable in the private health-care industry. Also, Moore could have discussed the fact that we already have a massive "socialized medicine" sector in the U.S., the Veterans Administration, which provides health benefits for former soldiers. It costs roughly half as much as private health care, has better patient outcomes, and is FAR more popular with its beneficiaries than any of the non-governmental alternative health care providers. Just extend that to cover the rest of the citizenry. Also, MM could have pointed out that not only are our medicine far more expensive than in other countries, but that most of the actual research & development is paid for by the American taxpayer, not the pharmaceutical that patent the resulting medications. Costs are socialized, profits are privatized, great for Wall Street, crappy for people.
Also, I have to say, I didn't find a lot of the anecdotes he portrayed as compelling as they might have been considering he solicited peoples stories on his web site and got 25,000 replies with a few days. Not that I didn't weep an occasional tear, but I think he could have selected somewhat more sympathetic subjects in a number of cases. It was a good movie, but it could easily have been a great movie.

As with any Michael Moore movie if he focused less on trying to wind up the government and more on presenting cold hard facts he would achieve a lot more. I like the guy because he is a breath of fresh air but at times it looks like his entire existence is to piss off the government rather than expose their failings. That is funny to watch sure and enlightening also but as you said he could have had the viewing audience furious and in tears with a proactive attitude installed in their head. Instead he just has them nodding in agreement.

I can't comment on SiCKO (I haven't seen it--I think Michael Moore is just a left-wing version of Rush Limbaugh: a gross, fat asshole), nor the NHS (I'm Canadian), but I really have to comment on something that detractors of 'socialized' medicine like to rant about, namely the shortage of doctors.
This week, my family physician died. He was suffering from heart trouble (his father, also a doctor, died of a MI many years earlier). This doctor had trouble finding a cardiologist over the hollidays. The reason we have a physician shortage is that, about fifteen years ago, the Provincial governments--with the connivance of Physicians' Associations--cut medical school enrolments. The logic went along the lines of, "we have too many GPs and, especially, too many 'specialists' (cardiologists, &c.); the 'oversupply' of doctors is increasing healthcare costs!" The real reason, of course, is that the Medical Associations (like any other union in a closed-shop environment, or oligopolies in a business market) wanted to choke-off supply, to keep incomes up by creating a sellers'-market. Everyone (left-wing and right-wing media, academics) bought this bogus 'consensus' and now we have the current mess.
Something that hasn't been tried in any country (Commie, Capitalist) is eliminating the professions and having the government license Doctors, Dentists and Nurses (also carpenters, engineers...) and having an open-shop/right-to-work system. The whole concept of 'self-regulation' is ludicrous. Also, when people in the U.S. talk about public vs. private, they neglect to notice the huge public system (Medicare, Medicaid, state and local clinics) that already exists. When people say "we don't want to pay taxes for someone else's healthcare!", they neglect to notice that they already pay for workers' health plans provided by companies, when they buy goods and services. These private social programs cost consumers (and taxpayers, in the case of Public Servants' plans) in the U.S. and Canada dearly, but they aren't universal. The unions don't care, since they only want healthcare for members. These costs also make businesses uncompeditive--an average car from North America has a U.S.$1,500.00 'union health and pension tax' on it, which is largely why those car companies are tanking.
Since the Democrats are, like the Republicans, owned by the medical-financial complex (just different parts of it), don't expect Socialized Medicine from the Obama Administration.[/i]

It's only a matter of time. American businesses outside of the "medical-financial complex" are being hurt by the cost of health care which they have to provide for their workers (those businesses that do supply it), so there is growing pressure from business as well as labor for some type of National health care. Let's face it, Neither Canada nor the U.K. are really Socialist. The U.S. is just backward.

What people seem to forget is the entire HMO system was set up by the government. I used to think that the term health care was a bad term and we should call it disease care, but it's really a disease no care system.
We don't free market or a nationalized system, we have a kleptocractic system where corporation have set up a system via government to funnel money out of your paycheck into the pockets of executives. Health care is just the excuse, not the purpose. They give you only enough health care in order for people not to revolt.
If you want a health care system, first step is to revoke the charters off all insurance companies immediately. For bonus liquidate all their assets, burn all their records, and give the money back to the people who paid in. After this, health care will improve no matter what you do. Personally I think health care cooperatives are the way to go, a national plan would be better then what we have now.
The Health Care industry gives so much money to congress, we aren't going to see change. Unless Obama initiates a citizen revolt against congress (much like Reagan used to do) we aren't going to see meaningful change.

ST. LOUIS (AP) The Vatican's defrocking of a Roman Catholic priest whose alleged molestations of an altar boy decades ago cost a southern Illinois diocese and its insurer $6.3 million was welcomed Friday by the victim's attorney as long overdue.
In a statement published in the Diocese of Belleville's newspaper, Bishop Edward Braxton said 78-year-old Raymond Kownacki's defrocking took effect Jan. 11 as part of a papal decree that called the move "for the good of the church."
"It was a complete surprise. I had no idea it was in the works," said Mike Weilmuenster, the attorney who successfully sued the diocese on behalf of James Wisniewski, who said he was repeatedly molested by Kownacki for years during the 1970s.
"But I'm pleased it's finally been done better late than never. But it makes you wonder what took so long, and why now," Weilmuenster said, then pointing to Kownacki's advanced age. "He's 78, and his true judgment is coming right soon."
Kownacki, who lives in a suburban St. Louis nursing home, has declined media requests for interviews. He has not faced criminal charges linked to sexual misconduct.
Kownacki was not part of the Wisniewski lawsuit that targeted the diocese. He was removed from priestly duties in 1995 by a diocesan review board.
Wisniewski sued in 2002, alleging that Kownacki sexually abused him dozens of times over five years at St. Theresa's Parish in Salem, Ill., beginning when he was 13. The priest, Wisniewski testified, at times showed him a handgun, threatening to kill the child's parents if he ever told.
The lawsuit also claimed the diocese hid Kownacki's suspected behavior and quietly shuffled him among parishes without notification.
Wisniewski won a $5 million jury award in 2008 in Illinois' St. Clair County, just east of St. Louis. Three years later, Wisniewski received more than $6.3 million in checks from the diocese and its insurer, reflecting the jury award and the interest that accrued as the diocese appealed the verdict.
A separate lawsuit against Kownacki, filed in 2003 by a man identified as John Doe, alleged that victim mowed the lawn at the Salem parish, where Kownacki was pastor from 1979 to 1986. That case was settled in 2009 for $1.2 million.
Monsignor Rev. John Myler, a spokesman for the Belleville diocese that serves 100,000 Catholics in Illinois' 28 southernmost counties, called Kownacki's defrocking "part of a long, terrible ordeal." But he declined additional comment beyond Braxton's statement.

The Kitchener, Ontario-based company has developed a system that links a soldier's rifle to a micro-unmanned aerial vehicle, allowing the soldier to receive data from a UAV as well as control it in flight.
The "rail" system common on assault rifles and other weapons is usually outfitted with laser rangefinders, flashlights or infrared sensors. But Colt Canada has taken that a step further by installing what it is calling a network data and power system for small arms.
It provides an open-source network data interface and central power source for accessories that can be attached to the weapon. The technology includes a GPS receiver and navigation capability, so the rifle's geographic position and pointing angles are communicated to accessories on the weapon via the network data interface.
The system on the rifle also can control a micro-UAV that is launched by the soldier. Surveillance data from the UAV is transmitted to a laptop computer carried by the soldier or to a nearby armored vehicle.
"We're taking the rifle from being a Spitfire to being a CF-18 fighter," said Warren Downing, an advanced systems engineer at Colt Canada. "We have a target acquisition device that has a data link. We power the data link using the power and data rail."
The system, in a prototype stage, was unveiled at the CANSEC military trade show here on May 29. Colt Canada expects to further refine the system over the next six to 12 months, progressing to an actual product within a year.
The computer and power system are installed in the pistol grip of the rifle.
The electric-powered Huggin X1 UAV that is part of the system is manufactured by Sky-Watch, a Danish company. The micro-UAV can fly for 25 minutes and reach altitudes of 10,000 feet. Just 19.7 inches wide and weighing 1.39 kilograms, it is GPS-outfitted and can carry various sensors, including thermal or video cameras.
Downing said Colt Canada has integrated Sky-Watch's target acquisition system (TAS), which directly communicates with the UAV. The TAS, installed on the weapon as an accessory, is used to designate the target and command the drone to survey the designated target. The TAS is the first device in the world to control a UAV from a small arms platform, he said.
The soldier can control the aircraft's movements from his or her rifle. Imagery from the UAV is observed on a separate display.
The TAS receives its power and navigation data from the rifle via the small arms network data and power system.
Downing noted a potential scenario in which an infantry commander launches the UAV to conduct reconnaissance of potential enemy activity behind a hill. If the UAV observes a target of interest, the commander can call in indirect fire to hit that position, using data provided by the micro-aircraft. The UAV also can observe the battle damage from the attack.
Once the mission is finished, a simple press of the button on the TAS will direct the UAV to return to its point of takeoff, Downing said.
Avoiding ITAR
Colt Canada has designed this system to be ITAR-free, meaning that it is all non-US technology, said Francis Bleeker, Colt Canada's director of sales and marketing. When the company has used US technology in the past, it experienced delays in sales to foreign nations, since under the US government's International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) protocols, it needed approval from the State Department in Washington for any transaction that involved military-related products that originated in the US.
The company has supplied Canada, the Netherlands and Denmark with small arms. It also has supplied special forces units from various nations, although it declines to name those countries.
Colt Canada recently demonstrated the small arms network data and power system to Canadian Army officers and snipers.
The company originally joined forces with Sky-Watch to fulfill an offset obligation to Denmark. But Bleeker said the Danish company's technology has impressed Colt, which has begun marketing Sky-Watch products to the North American security and defense market.
Bleeker said the UAV-rifle combination is being developed independently from Colt in the US.
"We have the lead," he said. "We're doing it for our prime customer — [Canada's] Department of National Defence."
Bleeker said the system is being designed to be interoperable with other equipment expected to be fielded for Canadian soldiers. Canada has a program to outfit its troops in the next two years with what it is calling the Integrated Soldier System Project. ISSP would provide equipment not only to allow troops to track each other as they move about the battlefield, but also to feed communications and targeting information into their helmets or to a small personal data device.
"We can take the weapon and plug it into any soldier system," Bleeker said.
The Canadian Forces uses Colt's C-7 family of rifles, and the company is the country's center of small arms excellence. Over the last seven years, Colt has modernized the C-7, adding laser-aiming devices and infrared illuminators to the weapon. In some cases, C-7 variants were equipped with heavier barrels and grenade launchers.
Colt Canada also is preparing for the Canadian Forces procurement of a new generation of small arms.
The project, called Next Generation Small Arms, would see the replacement of all of the Canadian military's rifles, carbines and light machine guns. As many as 90,000 new weapons would be purchased.
Canadian military officers have said the emphasis will be on greater accuracy, making weapons lighter and smaller, as well as tailoring the lethality of the small arms to specific scenarios.
Although some initial work has been done on that project, it is not expected to proceed until 2017. The small arms replacement program is estimated to cost at least CAN $800 million (US $799 million).

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. --A 21-year-old transient was arrested Thursday after police discovered he had been living on top of refrigerators at a Simi Valley pharmacy.
Police responded to reports of a possible burglary at the Pavilions Pharmacy located in the 2900 block of Tapo Canyon Road at about 10 p.m.
Responding officers found Tristan Odegard-Brown. The suspect had remnants of drywall and ceiling tile on his clothing.
During the later investigation, police discovered a large hole in the roof of the pharmacy ceiling, where it appeared Odegard-Brown entered. The 21-year-old had reportedly been living on top of refrigeration units within the store.
Odegard-Brown was arrested for burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
