* DELAYED-ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS (DOMS) is a double-edged sword. On one hand, muscle damage and soreness promote intracellular repair processes that make your muscles bigger and stronger. On the other hand, when DOMS is extreme, it can limit your range of motion and affect how often you train. Enter BounceBack, a blend of proteolytic enzymes, cur-cumin and phytosterols from avocado and soybean oils, resveratrol and vitamin C. Researchers from the UCLA School of Medicine (Los Angeles) recently reported that in a small study of 10 men and women, 30 days of BounceBack supplementation significantly reduced pain and tenderness induced by Smith machine squats. A small improvement in range of motion (knee flexion) was also noted, along with trends for decreases in serum markers of muscle damage. * CREATINE CONTINUES TO IMPRESS. In addition to improving muscle strength and size, bone health and even cognition in vegetarians, it now appears to help lifters recover their strength faster after a hard workout. Researchers from Australia, Baylor University (Waco, Texas) and Tasmania teamed up to study the effects of creatine monohydrate administered five days before and 14 days after a standardized lower-body resistance-training session (four sets of 10 reps of the eccentric-only leg press, leg extension and leg curl). Five days before exercise, subjects took about 20 grams of creatine and 84 grams of glucose or a placebo. Fourteen days later, they took about 7 grams of creatine and 28 grams of glucose or a placebo. The effects of creatine were dramatic: a 21% greater recovery of strength and 84% less muscle damage compared to the placebo group. This study underscores the importance of daily creatine supplementation, especially on “off” days, to accelerate recovery from intense weight training.
As spring approaches and the weather starts to improve, motorcyclist enthusiasts across the UK will be bringing their bikes out of winter storage.

Swinton Bikes, the UKs leading high street retailer of motorcycle insurance , is urging bikers to ensure their bike is safe and roadworthy before hitting the roads.

Swinton Bikes is offering the following tips to ensure bikers get the best out of their bikes post-winter:

- Uncover the motorcycle and remove the protections over the intake and exhaust manifolds

- Check the battery, which should be fully charged or close to fully charged

James Bulgers family are understandably the most vocal about wishing to have this information. Its natural that the victims of the ruinous crime will forever be tormented by every aspect of it, and being kept in the dark concerning the whereabouts and activities of the two killers, now 27-year-old men, must form part of that pain. Perhaps, they think, they might have already encountered Venables or Robert Thompson on the street without knowing it. How can they be sure they havent sat beside one of them at a football match or queued behind them in the supermarket? Perhaps the Bulgers unconsciously hunt in the sea of faces every time they are confronted with a crowd, or maybe that subconscious search among strangers is instead a longing to see the face of their own son, now forever lost. Who can be sure? But while their deepest motivation for wishing to be informed about Venables must remain mere guesswork on our part, the fact remains that they do not have the legal right to know. The reason for this is quite clear. Informing the victims family could lead to a breach of anonymity, intentional or unintentional, and the law has been tasked with keeping the new identity of the two murderers secret. So who else is demanding that this law be broken? Ah yes. The Sun newspaper. It wants us to sign a petition to put Venables back on the front pages where he belongs. Oh, and the Daily Mail. And Carol Vorderman, bizarrely, judging by her peculiar, shouty indignation on last weeks Question Time. But why? Well, we cant speak for Vorderman, as she was unable to give an intelligent reason why outing Venables would be a good thing for anyone involved, so the origins of her strident insistence will have to remain a mystery. But The Sun and Daily Mails agenda is at least crystal clear. It would sell more newspapers.
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced that it has shipped over 200 million ispMACH® 4000 complex programmable logic devices (CPLD). The Lattice ispMACH 4000 CPLD family provides a variety of design solutions, from glue logic and general purpose I/O expansion to voltage level translation and LED drivers. Engineers around the globe have widely adopted the ispMACH 4000 CPLD as a standard due to its balance of price, power and packaging options.

“Congratulations to Lattice Semiconductor on this significant business achievement in shipping over 200 million units of the ispMACH 4000 CPLD family. Samsung uses the ispMACH 4000 devices in Mobile WiMAX projects because Lattice has consistently met our standards for quality, delivery and price,” said Seung Gu Kang, Vice President, H/W Group Telecommunication Network Business, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. “I appreciate Lattice Semiconductor as a supplier because Samsung has become considerably more competitive in the market by virtue of their devices. I expect Lattice to continue to strongly support Samsung with the best device quality and price for us to strengthen our worldwide market share in the future.”

CPLDs continue to be a popular alternative to discrete digital logic, given the flexible nature of in-system programmable logic and I/O buffers that support a variety of signal standards and voltage levels. Compared to FPGAs, CPLDs offer the advantages of low cost solutions with predictable and very fast timing characteristics. With tiny packages down to 4×4mm, static power consumption down to 10uA and prices starting as low as $0.50, the ispMACH 4000ZE CPLD family is an ideal design solution for battery-powered or low standby power devices such as smartphones, portable GPS products and home appliances like digital set-top-boxes.

“The ispMACH 4000ZE CPLD family offers customers a low price, low power solution that continues to be used at an accelerating rate by both consumer and system focused customers,” said Chris Fanning, Lattice Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Low Density and Mixed Signal Solutions. “Shipping over 200 million ispMACH 4000 CPLDs is an important milestone for both Lattice and the programmable logic industry, because it demonstrates the value CPLDs offer to a myriad of digital system designs. Its important as well to customers, who demand immediate availability and reliability from their supply chain partners.”

The opening day of the 2010 season was overshadowed by news of the death of two of the sports well-known personalities. A minutes silence was held before the Glenurquhart v Newtonmore match to mark the passing of Ken Smith, an outstanding player in the Badenoch sides all-conquering teams of the 1970s and 1980s. Only four matches went ahead in the Hydro Electric Premier League. With champions Kingussie idle, Newtonmore had an opportunity to move into pole position. In the event, More failed to take several good chances and were fortunate to hang on for a 0-0 draw against Glens when Lewis Maclennan failed to convert a late penalty. Camanachd Cup holders Fort William beat Oban Camanachd 3-1 at Mossfield. Gary Innes scored twice and Bryan Simpson was on target. Inveraray defeated Kyles Athletic 2-1. Russell Mackinlay put Inveraray ahead and although Duncan Kerr equalised just before the break Grant Griffin clinched the points.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — According to the International Data Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly Storage Software Tracker, the worldwide storage software
market experienced a slight increase in year-over-year growth in the
fourth quarter of 2009 (4Q09) with revenues of $3.09 billion,
representing 0.5% growth over the same quarter one year ago, as well as
6.3% growth from the previous quarter (3Q09).

“The storage software market was able to increase in typical fourth
quarter fashion, with all top six vendors showing positive growth from
the third quarter,” said Michael
Margossian, associate research analyst, Storage
Software at IDC. “Data protection and recovery was once again a
strong market with the top four vendors showing growth from a year ago.
IBM had the strongest year-over-year growth with revenues up 19.3% from
the fourth quarter of 2008, while EMC enjoyed the greatest gains over
the third quarter – a 13.1% increase – with the help of strong hardware
growth.”

“Sequential and year-over-year growth has returned for storage software,
suggesting the market has started to show signs of recovery, said Laura
DuBois, research director, Storage
Software. “Another sign that bodes well for the segment is that, as
storage consumes larger portions of IT budgets, driven by the
exponential growth of data, the need for storage management and
efficiency increases. Into 2010, storage capital investments are aimed
at making more efficient and reliable use of data, data storage, and
data management resources.”

EMC led the overall market with 23.7% revenue share in the fourth
quarter of 2009. Symantec held onto the second position with 17.5%
revenue share, while IBM finished in the third position with 13.2%
revenue share. NetApp finished in the fourth position with 7.9% revenue
share while HP and CA rounded out the top 5 with a statistical tie with
3.9% and 3.8% revenue share respectively.

Chia seeds are good sources of antioxidants, fiber and omega-3 fats.

Many Internet sources claim these seeds can enhance energy levels, balance blood sugar and promote weight loss.
Colin Fleming has waited several years to make an impression in the Davis Cup but yesterday he made up for lost time as he and Ken Skupski put Britain in a winning position in their Europe/Africa Group II tie in Vilnius. Flemski, as the pair are affectionately known on the tour, survived a courageous challenge from Dovydas Sakinis and Laurynas Grigelis to win 6-0, 6-7, 7-5, 6-3 and put Britain 2-1 up. Having most of his family, plus a travelling brigade of fans from Linlithgow who did their best to drown out the locals inside the Vitus Gerulaitis Memorial Tennis Centre, to support the AEGON GB team clearly helped their cause. But they were fully deserving of their win, even if it took longer than they might have expected. When they raced through the first set it looked as if they would cruise to victory but in the end, the way they shrugged off the loss of the second set to eventually clinch a convincing triumph gave captain John Lloyd more pleasure than if they had breezed home.

WHEREVER I went last week for a bite to eat I seemed to bump into a celebrity. Nicky Hilton sat next to me one day at the Fred Segal caf, while Geri Halliwells former movie producer lover Sacha Gervasi (and the father of Geris baby Bluebell) brought along an extremely attractive girl to eat on the other side of me. Then I was alongside Groundhog Day star Bill Murray at Cecconis the day before. Ryan who is covering the Oscar red carpet arrivals for the E! Entertainment channel tonight also joked that hed happily join Si on the new US X-Factor. “I could always be tempted over depending on the money,” he laughed. KENDRA Wilkinson seems like a sensible lass. The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner whose reality show Kendra is on E! Entertainment, says she doesnt want her newborn son Hank growing up in front of the cameras. She told me: “People already ask if I think hes going to be a sports star like my husband or an actor or something. I want him to decide what he wants to be. The reality show will stop – I dont want him growing up for everyone to see.”

After years of keeping great online slots such as Sunset Dreams and Maxamillion a secret for UK players only, with great success demonstrated by their recent Hitwise award, the surge in demand over the past few months from other European players looking for high quality, high reward slots has finally led Quicksilver to reveal their secret to the World.

Quicksilver Games has added multiple payment platforms and currency options to web.quicksilvergames.co.uk, potentially allowing millions more players to join UK gamers in enjoying the range of bingo, slots, casino and fruit machine games on offer and vastly expand the businesses global reach in the process.

Quicksilver Games are currently playable by approximately 49,000,000 adults in the United Kingdom alone and the planned expansion of playable currencies and methods of payment are set to expand the number of gamers by up to 420,000,000. This could mean an increase in people playing games like Maxamillion and Kasharoo by almost tenfold.

The imminent expansion of payment methods will include not only being able to play using Euros and Dollars (though the site is not eligible for play in America) for the first time but online gamers will also be able to use Netseller, Moneybookers and Ucash to make deposits with which to play great games like Slots and Bingo.

Traditionally, Quicksilver Gamers have been able to make deposits only using Mastercard, Maestro, and Visa while playing games such as Maxamillion Race for Riches . These developments mean there will be a greater variety of methods to pay, enabling gaming fans more options on how they pay to play. It is worth remembering that you can also play the majority of Quicksilver Games for free.

Amazing Amino Leucine is the MVP of aminos when it comes to building muscle and strength. It stimulates growth and is broken down in the body into numerous anabolic byproducts such as beta-hydroxy beta-meth-ylbutyrate and ketoisocaproate. New research is uncovering another metabolite of leucine that may have anabolic properties: alpha-HICA.

Tatyana Hristova * As a teen in Bulgaria I had the propensity to gain weight, and I was overweight by the time I reached my early 20s. In 2000 I was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a heart condition that can cause an extremely fast heart rate and trigger ventricular fibrillation, a leading cause of sudden cardiac death, and exercise wasnt recommended. Yet I was in physical pain due to my bodyweight of 200 pounds, and I felt even worse looking in the mirror. My best friend who worked out a lot helped me decide to start exercising in spite of my doctors advice. I began a fat-loss program in 2004 in which I worked up to 40-60 minutes of cardio six days a week and four weightlifting sessions weekly; I changed up my routine every two weeks and ate four strict meals a day. Now Im on a program to gain muscle, so I limit my cardio and eat more protein. I love to use free weights and try new workouts, and Ive added elements of martial arts to my training to make it more fun and challenging. Im healthier than ever–Ive lost 75 pounds of fat and gained 23 pounds of muscle–and my heart condition no longer exists. American physicians say my diet and exercise regimens helped immensely. Living and feeling healthy is my biggest achievement, and I hope to someday compete in bodybuilding. Now Im 36, and my fear of the gym has become a passion and an addiction. I thought I had reached the stars with my transformation, but then a German friend showed me how much more power I had inside. For all those who struggle with their weight, I say, “Theres no such thing as cant.” I just kept imagining the outcome I wanted to achieve and this motivated me to continue.

A FREAK hailstorm hit Melbourne yesterday causing widespread damage and flooding. Horse-racing was cancelled as hail buried the course. And in the city centre shoppers waded knee deep in water as 25mm of rain fell in an hour.

LEICESTER 35 LONDON IRISH 19 TOBY FLOOD gave England an injury scare as he took a bash on the head during the crushing win over London Irish. But the Tigers fly-half should recover in time to take his expected place on the bench in Saturdays Calcutta Cup clash at Edinburgh. Flood -aiming to shine in front of watching Martin Johnson -lost his chance to impress because of a first-half collision. It was a pity for Flood, who is so desperate to rip the No.10 jersey off Jonny Wilkinsons back. But Flood kicked two penalties and two conversions before going off, leaving his teammates to steal the show. Tries from Alesana Tuilagi (above), Scott Hamilton, Martin Castrogiavanni and George Chuter gave Tigers a bonus point win and stretched their lead at the top of the table over Northampton.

Shift Reflects NCC’s Position as a Broad-Based Media Sales,
Marketing and Technology Company

NEW YORK — National Cable Communications (NCC) has re-cast itself as NCC Media, it
was announced today by Greg Schaefer, the organization’s President and
CEO. This change reflects the wide range of media services the company
provides to the advertising industry, whether delivered by cable,
telecom, satellite or interactive platforms.

“NCC Media has evolved from selling spots on cable systems twenty years
ago, to today providing arguably the widest array of linear and digital
ad products in the industry. Our corporate identity now more accurately
reflects the true scope and scale of our dynamic company,” said
Schaefer. “Today’s market requires a versatile, more nimble approach to
advertising sales. Our clients have seen and will continue to see an
ever-broadening range of advertising services available to them,
particularly from our owners, affiliates and partners.”

While NCC was founded as a sales rep company for major cable providers,
the company, jointly owned by three of the nation’s largest cable system
operators – Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable, now
represents virtually every other multi-channel TV service provider in
the country, reaching an estimated 98% of all multi- channel homes. It
has further expanded its client base to include satellite, telco,
interactive TV and internet properties.

NCC is also on the cutting edge of technologies which provide innovative
new means of advertising, making it possible to precisely target
consumers by category, media habits, market, city, and even by
neighborhood. NCC Media’s proprietary research and analysis capabilities
make it possible for them to recommend networks, programs, marketing
platforms and digital media extensions that are the best fit for client
brand positioning.

THE legal trade is getting its silk and stuff in a twist about Tesco law. Tesco law is shorthand for new rules being considered to allow banks and other big business to get their snouts into the legal trough. This is a matter of great concern to long-established firms such as Hog, Sow Piglet, who want to keep the contents of the trough for themselves. My moneys on Tesco. Here is a bit of fast-forwarding to see how Tesco law will work. Its easy to find the legal shop down at Tesco town. The lawyer will be in a smart pinstripe suit from Tescos FF range.

Thomson Reuters today announced that Eric Frank,
President, Investment Advisory, Thomson Reuters Markets, has relocated to
Hong Kong from New York. Mr. Franks move to Hong Kong strengthens Thomson
Reuters commitment to growing its business across the Asia Pacific region.
While in Asia Pacific, Mr. Frank will lead the business in developing
localized solutions to compliment Investment Advisorys market-leading
global product and content set.

With US$ 2.2 billion in annual revenue, Investment Advisory is Thomson
Reuters second largest financial services facing business and provides
differentiated analytics, content and workflow tools that drive complex
financial decision-making and increase performance and efficiency for
customers in corporate services, investment management, investment banking
and wealth management around the world.

“As MA and investment banking activity, a rapidly emerging buy side,
wealth creation, and corporate growth are increasingly being driven out of
Asia Pacific, it was a logical time for me to move to the region and
oversee the global business from Asia Pacific first hand,” said Eric Frank,
President, Investment Advisory, Thomson Reuters. “Thomson Reuters goal
for its Investment Advisory business is to localize its global platform
for the countries across the Asia Pacific region by developing
local-language products and content to meet the unique needs of our
customers here. From the rich domestic markets of Hong Kong, Australia and
Japan to the emerging opportunities in China and India, I am excited to be
here and look forward to building our business in such a dynamic and
growing market.”

Mr. Franks move to Asia Pacific comes in the wake of multiple recent
strategic hires across the region including Henry Li, as Head of China;
Kotaro Okamura, as Head of Japan; Tarun Anand as Head of South Asia, based
in Mumbai; Samir Shah as Head of Business Operations, Asia, based in
Singapore; and Daphne Huang as Head of Taiwan.

“Asia Pacific is a key strategic region for Thomson Reuters,” said Devin
Wenig, CEO of Thomson Reuters Markets. “Erics decision to move to Asia
Pacific, the first head of one of our Markets divisions to do so, supports
our ambitions to seize the immense growth opportunities in the region.”

Saudi Arabia, will enable content providers to run highly tailored
advertisements – a market first in the Middle East. In addition,
Selevisions HD PVRs will be protected by Irdetos CAS and secure chip
set – another first for the region – to allow the company to
comprehensively secure premium content, while delivering a personalized
experience for consumers, through uniquely selected programs and
commercials.

“Irdeto’s technology meets our needs for a flexible solution that
enables us to deliver targeted content to consumers, while protecting it
against piracy, which continues to be rife in this region,” said Dr.
Raed Khusheim, CEO and founder of Selevision. “Irdetos solution allows
us to constantly enhance our targeted advertising capabilities. Irdeto
was a natural choice for us, given the company’s proven track record of
delivering industry-leading conditional access solutions in the Middle
East. We look forward to expanding our services to other regions, and to
continuing to work with Irdeto.”

According to Informa,
at the end of 2014, the Middle East and North Africa region will have
approximately 50 million multichannel TV homes. This means that more
than 70 percent of households will have either cable or satellite
television. In response to this growth as well as the need to
differentiate themselves to both advertisers and viewers, Selevision
selected Irdeto’s industry-leading middleware technology to empower
advertisers to effectively reach a wide range of viewers with ads that
are directly relevant to consumers.

“The advanced features and functionality that the Selevision HD PVR
offers to consumers and advertisers is a testimony to the maturity that
Irdeto middleware has reached,” stated David Canellos, senior vice
president, sales and marketing for Irdeto. “The Middle Eastern market is
ripe for innovation, and the ability to reach viewers with targeted
advertising is increasingly important, as audiences are progressively
looking for content that is personalized and relevant.”

THE MOTHER of tragic Tracey Fay is suffering from horrific nightmares over daughters death. Her family fears for Doreen Fays health after the publication of a damning report into the HSEs handling of the girls life sparked clinical depression. Doreen, 52, yesterday revealed: “I have nightmares where I am standing in the place where her body was found. Traceys uncle Damien said the publication of the leaked report is taking a “terrible toll” on Doreen. He added: “My sister has suffered greatly, and I dont know if her health can stand up to all of this.
ATTEMPTS are underway to send military veterans to special “care” units instead of prison if they commit a criminal offence. The key figure behind the controversial move is the SNPs Angela Constance, who represents Livingston at Holyrood. On Friday, she held a high-profile summit at the Scottish Parliament with criminal justice agencies and veterans charities to test support for her proposal, which would see a secure care unit established for traumatised war veterans as an alternative to custody. The MSP believes there is a “moral responsibility” to support veterans both during military operations and when they return home, even if they find themselves on the wrong side of the criminal justice system. Tom Fox, Scottish Prison Service (SPS) spokesman, confirmed that prisoners were not routinely asked if they were in the armed forces. The SPS has estimated that it has 121 veterans in Scottish prisons. Critics, including Mrs Constance, say the SPS figures are an “under- representation”.

ATTEMPTING to cut the SNP out of the leaders debates which will be a central focus of the forthcoming General Election is more that just unbalanced treatment of a political party, it is fundamentally unfair to the people of Scotland. By definition these debates, which will take place in three English cities in front of local audiences, are incapable of reflecting what is happening north of the Border. Indeed, there are rules in place to ensure that the different politics in Wales and Scotland are reflected but the BBC and ITV, the two broadcasters with public service responsibilities, stitched up a deal with the London parties months ago. Ironically, only Sky, which is under no such obligation, has made efforts to ensure balance. The SNP does not want to prevent these debates from happening – we want to participate in them – but if they go ahead as currently proposed, the views and interests of the people of Scotland will be marginalised. Scottish voters know this too. Sixty per cent of those polled are opposed to the exclusion of the SNP from these election debates – yet the broadcasters and other parties have simply ignored their opinion.

HEALTH Secretary Nicola Sturgeon has been criticised by a powerful trade union over her call to scrap lavish bonuses for doctors. The British Medical Association said that ending the distinction awards scheme for consultants would damage the NHS. However, the BMAs comments have been undermined by the Health Minister in the Welsh Assembly backing the Scottish Governments position. The row comes amid increasing public scrutiny of an awards system that provides year-on-year income top-ups to hospital doctors who can already earn around pound(s)100,000.

Lil Waynes scheduled sentencing in a New York City weapons case was postponed so the rapper could complete a dental procedure by Dr. Virgil Mongalo . The platinum-selling performer is a long time patient of the Miami cosmetic dentist who was also involved in the creation of the Waynes diamond-studded teeth.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, had planned to have the procedure done before his February 9th sentencing, but Dr. Mongalo was out of the country doing charitable work in Latin America.

The Manhattan judge and the assistant district attorney agreed to delay sentencing until March after speaking with the Dr. Mongalo who explained the medical necessity of treating the rappers condition. Wayne then flew to Miami where the cosmetic dentist successfully performed the procedure on February 16th.

While HIPAA privacy rules prevent revealing the procedure Lil Wayne underwent, it can be said that Dr. Mongalo specializes in smile makeovers and computer-guided implant surgeries such as Teeth-in-an-Hour , a micro-surgical technique that eliminates cutting the gums and sutures.

Lil Wayne is just one of many celebrity patients treated by Dr. Mongalo. The Miami cosmetic dentist regularly performs smile makeovers for film, television and music celebrities as well as Miss Universe contestants.

PHILADELPHIA — DentalVibe™ a new dental device now on the market takes the fear and
pain out of dental injections. The product design firm, Bresslergroup,
teamed with Dr. Steven G. Goldberg, DDS, to design the easy to use tool.
Research shows that fear of a painful anesthetic injection keeps 50% of
the patient population away from the dentist. DentalVibe™ officially
launched at the Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting, February 27, 2010.

Dental Vibe™ employs the “Gate Control Theory“ of pain management. This
means creating a diversion for the brain. The DentalVibe™ hand held tool
rapidly vibrates the oral mucosa (gum tissue) surrounding the injection
site. These rapid vibrations are processed in the patient’s brain, while
the injection is simultaneously administered. The patient’s brain
registers the vibrations, not the pain. The DentalVibe™ instrument also
retracts the lips and illuminates the injection area. These additional
features help avoid accidental needle sticks and greatly enhance
operator visibility.

Bresslergroup is in the business of helping companies define and design
innovative new products. Through research they determined that steady
vibration would quickly be decoded and ignored by the brain. The
breakthrough discovery was to engineer an intermittent pulse – applying
vibration for a brief period, followed by a quick stillness period. “We
designed the DentalVibe™ tool with a stop and start vibration pattern
that continually tricks the brain and masks the pain of the injection,”
notes David Schiff, Bresslergroup Director of Engineering.

The microprocessor controlled VibraPulse™ technology sends a pulsed,
percussive form of vibration. This vibratory stimulation travels along
the A-beta nerve fibers and is transmitted quickly to the brain. Pain
sensations travel along the slower C fibers. So in the race to the
finish, the brain feels the vibration, not the pain of injection.

Nicky Hilton sat next to me one day at the Fred Segal caf, while Geri Halliwells former movie producer lover Sacha Gervasi (and the father of Geris baby Bluebell) brought along an extremely attractive girl to eat on the other side of me. Then I was alongside Groundhog Day star Bill Murray at Cecconis the day before. KENDRA Wilkinson seems like a sensible lass. The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner whose reality show Kendra is on E!

The Tigers star sustained an injury during this comprehensive win over Irish – ruining his latest chance to shine in front of Martin Johnson. The England Team Manager looked on as Flood sat with his head in his hands in the dugout, despairing at his unfortunate latest injury setback. He had taken an off-the-ball blow in the first half, and finally withdrew after the break unable to continue.

LONDON — The pink-cheeked 10-year-old staring from the front pages of Britains newspapers is, some argue, the face of evil. The photo is a mug shot of Jon Venables, one of Britains most infamous criminals, convicted along with another boy of murdering a toddler in Liverpool in 1993. When officials announced last week that Venables — now 27 and free on parole since 2001 — is back behind bars for an undisclosed breach of his release conditions, the debate erupted again. Are Venables and co-accused Robert Thompson evil child-killers who should never have been released, or damaged children who deserve a chance at rehabilitation? “What they did to that child. I dont think he should be allowed in the community,” ]Beverly Dolan, 31, who comes from the Liverpool area and remembers the crime well, said Friday.

New high concentration, at-home therapy offers convenience to
patients managing primary immunodeficiency – a rare and serious disorder
affecting millions worldwide

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. — CSL
Behring announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has granted marketing approval for HizentraTM, Immune
Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Liquid, for treating patients
diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency (PI). A once weekly
immunoglobulin (Ig) replacement therapy, Hizentra
provides effective protection against infection by maintaining a steady
and normal level of immunoglobulin in the body. Primary
immunodeficiencies constitute a group of disorders, usually genetic,
that cause a malfunction in all or part of the immune system, thereby
rendering the patient unable to fight off infections caused by everyday
germs.

Hizentra is the first 20 percent subcutaneous immunoglobulin
(SCIg) approved in the U.S. by the FDA. This high-concentration product
is stabilized with L-proline, a naturally-occurring amino acid.
L-proline allows Hizentra to be stored at room temperature (up to
25°C [77°F]). Because no refrigeration is necessary, Hizentra is
ready to use, offering patients and physicians convenience and
portability. Hizentra can be safely self-administered by PI
patients under a physicians care.

“As the first SCIg treatment with a 20 percent concentration of
immunoglobulin, Hizentra represents an effective, convenient
choice of at-home Ig therapy that will allow people with PI to schedule
treatment around their busy lives instead of scheduling their lives
around treatment,” said Robert
Lefebvre, Vice President and General Manager, U.S. Commercial
Operations at CSL Behring. “Hizentra is an important new addition
to the rapidly growing CSL Behring product portfolio, and further
demonstrates our long-standing commitment to the PI and rare disease
communities.”

“With its high concentration, Hizentra is a welcome new SCIg
treatment option for patients managing primary immunodeficiencies,” said
John Sleasman, M.D., Professor and Chief of the Division of Allergy,
Immunology and Rheumatology at the University of South Florida College
of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, and one of the investigators on
CSL Behrings clinical study of Hizentra. “Hizentra’s
ready-to-use attribute will allow patients to infuse the product where
and when it suits them, and physicians now have another product to
select to best meet the individual needs of their patients.”

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPXA), a company developing Tovaxin®,

update on its progress.

2009 highlights include:

“We finished the year with approximately $8.2 million in cash and cash
equivalents which, at the current level of monthly burn of approximately
$300,000, provides us with sufficient capital beyond 2010. Our focus
over the next 6-12 months will be preparing for Tovaxin’s next clinical
study, advancing regulatory and manufacturing activities and continuing
our ongoing discussions with potential strategic partners regarding the
further development of Tovaxin. Strengthening the Opexa team in 2009
through key internal hires and the addition of world class consultants
was an important step in positioning Tovaxin for continued clinical
development,” added Mr. Warma.

The Retail Futures is a unique forecasting tool providing dynamic
forecasts and analysis of market demand and price pressures every three
months. A Sector Summary Report and seven UK sector and two UK channel
forecasts are available (Clothing Footwear, DIY Gardening,
Electricals, Furniture Floorcoverings, Food Grocery, Health
Beauty, Homewares, e-Retail, DIY Superstores).

Scope:

Conditions look set to remain extremely challenging for retail
throughout 2010. We are forecasting growth of just 1.3% this year, the
second lowest growth rate, after 2009, since our records began in 1966.
Indeed, the report predicts low growth in retail over the next few
years, as the impact of the recession continues to be felt by consumers.

The US Furniture Market Data Forecast to 2013 report is the essential
source for Furniture industry data and analysis covering the US, both at
the top level and providing in-depth category and channel insight.

The report provides historical data and forecasts for the US Furniture
Market industry in the period 2004-2013, detailed profiles and financial
metrics covering the major market players, a breakdown of key recent MA
and partnership activity, and comprehensive analysis of the key factors
driving the industry at consumer, market and company level.

The US furniture retail industry grew at a CAGR of 2.82% for the period
2004-2008 and reached to a value of $150.7 billion in 2008. The home
furniture houseware retailers accounted 62.9% of the total furniture
sales were the largest retail channels to sell furniture products in
2008. The economic slowdown in the US has put a major challenge for the
housing market. It has already started affecting the new house purchases
and house renovation activities. The tightening of the credit market has
further fuelled the slowdown with customers getting difficulty in
procuring home loans. This has a major affect on the purchase of
furniture products.

Household furniture sales are closely linked to home sales and Office
furniture sales are linked to growth in employment and new business
developments. The housing sector in the US has witnessed slowdown in
2008. The house prices fell sharply in the US, triggering downslide in
other developed countries. It has fallen by 1.0% to 5.0% in the US in
2008. It is further stated that real estate activities also slowed in
several countries, particularly in the US, Australia and UK by three
percentage points of GDP in 2008. This has further worsened by the tight
consumer credit position and impeding recession in the US economy. This
variation in housing prices has affected the consumer spending and
confidence in buying furniture items. The slowdown in the US economy has
increased the job losses and the employment has witnessed a dip in 2008.
Consequently, the furniture retail sector in the US declined 1.9% in
2008 over 2007.

Acquisition Offers Companies a New Way to Address Retiree Medical
Insurance Commitments

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. — Hewitt Associates, a global human resources consulting and outsourcing
company, today announced it has acquired Senior Educators Ltd. (“Senior
Educators”), a trusted, Web-based retiree medical insurance exchange
that provides unbiased assistance to Medicare recipients seeking
high-quality, affordable supplemental insurance products.

Many retirees face a dizzying array of retiree medical alternatives and
often have trouble navigating the options to find a cost-effective plan
that best meets their needs. Senior Educators provides retirees with
independent advice on selecting quality, private Medicare insurance to
supplement their basic coverage, tailored for their individual health
care situation.

“The retiree health insurance market represents an attractive growth
opportunity for Hewitt as more employers discontinue retiree medical
coverage or look for ways to provide retirees with cost-effective
alternatives,” said Russ Fradin, Hewitt’s chairman and chief executive
officer. “The acquisition of Senior Educators also allows us to provide
our clients with an effective, high-quality option to address their
post-65 retiree medical commitments and a framework on which to build
solutions for the broader retiree population.”

Founded in 2005, Senior Educators is licensed to market insurance in 50
states and in the District of Columbia. The company has helped more than
100,000 Medicare recipients find the right coverage. Users of Senior

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — American HomePatient, Inc. (OTCBB: AHOM), one of the nation’s largest
home health care providers, today announced its financial results for
the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $61.3 million compared to
$67.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing a decrease of
$6.5 million, or 9.6%. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009
were $236.3 million compared to $266.9 million for the same period in
2008, representing a decrease of $30.6 million, or 11.5%. Medicare
reimbursement reductions effective January 1, 2009 reduced revenues by
approximately $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $27.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Further reductions in
revenues in 2009 resulted from the impact of Medicare policy changes
related to coverage guidelines for positive airway pressure devices, a
change in inhalation drug product mix resulting from Medicare
reimbursement reductions, and the Company’s reduced emphasis on less
profitable product lines such as non-respiratory durable medical
equipment and infusion therapy. These revenue decreases were partially
offset by growth in sleep therapy revenue.

Operating expenses declined in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to
the fourth quarter of 2008 by approximately $1.6 million, or 4.9%.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the
same period in 2008 declined by $8.0 million, or 6.0%. The decreases in
operating expenses for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
2009 were primarily the result of improved operating efficiencies and
the resulting reduced operating costs, partially offset by increases in
certain expenses associated with the development and implementation of
initiatives designed to provide additional productivity improvements.
Areas of focus have included centralization of branch functions,
consolidation of branches, improved routing and delivery systems, and
more effective utilization of leased space.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
is a non-GAAP financial measurement that is calculated as net income
excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted
EBITDA (EBITDA excluding discontinued operations and debt restructuring
expenses) was $9.4 million, or 15.3% of net revenue, for the fourth
quarter of 2009 compared to $14.2 million, or 20.9 % of net revenue, for
the same period of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA was $32.7 million, or 13.8% of
net revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $51.6
million, or 19.3% of net revenue, for the same period of 2008.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $(1.2) million, or $(0.07)
per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.09 per
diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. Net loss for the year
ended December 31, 2009 was $(13.1) million, or $(0.75) per diluted
share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted
share for the same period in 2008.

On behalf of the Honourable Beverley J. Oda, Minister of International Cooperation,,Kelly Block, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, today announced the Government of Canada will continue support for Burmese refugees and displaced persons living in Burmas border areas.

“Canadas renewed support builds on the significant results being achieved in Burmas border areas. Over the past five years, CIDA-funded health care initiatives have treated nearly one million cases of malaria, acute respiratory infections, tuberculosis, and severe malnutrition, provided food aid to approximately 145,000 refugees, and health care services to approximately 500,000 refugees,” said Minister Oda. “These results, along with support for community-based organizations working on human rights and environmental issues, demonstrate how Canadas assistance is helping those in need.”

“Canada, through this support, is focusing on meeting the needs of people in the border areas,” said Ms. Block. “This funding will contribute to building capacity within the Burmese population, while ensuring that basic services, such as health care and food are provided to both refugees and surrounding communities.”

The renewed funding amounts to $15.9 million over five years, and builds on CIDAs $12.4 million contribution for assistance in the region provided over the previous five years. CIDA is continuing to provide assistance in the region through Inter Pares Canada, a Canadian humanitarian organization, which supports numerous organizations, including the Thailand-Burma Border Consortium and the Mae Tao Clinic.

The Coalition to Prevent Deep-Vein Thrombosis (DVT) moves into action with the seventh national DVT Awareness Month by introducing DVT Awareness In Motion , an educational program designed to drive dialogue about the importance of preventative care for DVT via simple movements — that can be done anywhere and anytime.

The Coalition is partnering with Mary Ann Wilson, RN, founder and host of the PBS-broadcast, “Sit and Be Fit,” to present DVT Awareness In Motion. The educational program will demonstrate simple movements that may help reduce the risk of DVT by encouraging blood circulation. The movements are tailored to settings where mobility is usually restricted such as a hospital bed, in the work place, in assisted-living and rehabilitation facilities and during travel. The program goes beyond building traditional awareness of the signs and symptoms of DVT and emphasizes the importance of preventative care in these everyday settings.

“As a registered nurse I have witnessed firsthand how movement can help improve peoples overall health and well being,” said Mary Ann Wilson. “I am thrilled to partner with the Coalition to Prevent DVT to create this exciting new program, DVT Awareness In Motion .”

DVT is a national public health crisis,(1) but many healthcare professionals and patients are unaware of the risks. DVT is a blood clot that forms inside a deep vein, most often in the lower leg. Once formed, a blood clot or fragment of a clot can break off and may cause severe complications, such as a pulmonary embolism (PE)(2) and even death if not diagnosed and treated appropriately.(3)

Up to 2 million Americans are affected by DVT annually.(4) Approximately 300,000 Americans die each year from PE;(5) DVT-related PE is the leading cause of preventable hospital death in U.S. hospitals.(6) The risk of developing DVT is nearly eight times higher during hospitalization,(7) but many patients develop a DVT within the first month following hospital discharge. Complications from DVT claim the lives of more Americans than breast cancer and AIDS combined.(8)

The dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for the purposes of section 89 of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Dundee Corporation is an asset management company dedicated to private wealth management, real estate and resources that, combined, reflect approximately $73 billion under management and administration. Its domestic wealth management activities are carried out through its 62% controlled subsidiary, DundeeWealth Inc. Dundee Corporations real estate activities are conducted through its 70% owned subsidiary, Dundee Realty Corporation, which operates as an asset manager of commercial real estate with activities in a land and housing business in Canada and the United States.

LOS ANGELES — Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPGI) reported today the results
of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

“Last year was one of the most difficult ever for the real estate
industry and the impacts were felt across the board in all sectors,”
said James A. Thomas, Chairman and CEO. “Even in this environment, we
were able to increase cash flow as evidenced by improvements in the
fourth quarter, and we favorably restructured some of our debt and loan
terms to better position our properties for the future.”

The results of operations presented in this release include a
consolidated net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of
$(7.7) million or $(0.30) per share compared to a consolidated net loss
of $(7.7) million or $(0.33) per share for the three months ended
December 31, 2008. The consolidated net loss for the year ended December
31, 2009 was $(21.6) million or $(0.86) per share compared to $(5.5)
million or $(0.24) per share for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Included in the consolidated net loss for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2009 are pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $4.4
million and $13.0 million, respectively, related to the Murano
condominium project, and $14.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively,
related to joint venture investments.

After tax cash flow (ATCF) for the three months ended December 31, 2009
was $2.5 million or $0.10 per share compared to after tax cash flow of
$0.5 million or $0.02 per share for the three months ended December 31,
2008. The increase in ATCF for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 over
the prior year period resulted from an increase in gains from sales of
condominium units at the Murano property and a reduction in interest
expense, partially offset by reductions in property net operating income
and net revenues from the investment advisory management, leasing and
development services business. ATCF for the twelve months ended December
31, 2009 was $8.2 million or $0.33 per share compared to ATCF of $22.5
million or $0.95 per share for the twelve months ended December 31,
2008. The reduction in ATCF for the year ended December 31, 2009
compared to the prior year primarily resulted from a decline in gains
from sales of condominium units at Murano and a reduction in property
net operating income. The Company defines ATCF (a non-GAAP financial
measure) as net income (loss) excluding the following items:
non-controlling interests, deferred income taxes, non-cash charges for
depreciation and amortization and asset impairment, amortization of loan
costs, non-cash compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments,
adjustments to reflect the fair market value of rent, and gain from
extinguishment of debt. ATCF is further described in note (c) to the
financial statements below.

Thomas further stated, “We have accomplished a number of financing and
capital transactions, reducing our consolidated debt balances by $69.7
million at December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. Also,
subsequent to year end, we negotiated on behalf of the California State
Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS), our partner in City National Plaza
in downtown Los Angeles, for CalSTRS to acquire all $219.1 million of
mezzanine debt on that property. CalSTRS will contribute this debt to
the partnership’s equity, reducing the leverage on the property from
$568.0 million to $348.9 million, all of which is first mortgage debt.
We are in discussions with CalSTRS to obtain an option to participate in
the loan purchase, on or after the maturity of the mezzanine debt, based
on our current pro rata share of 25% of the existing City National Plaza
equity. We are confident that the increased equity, together with the
property’s substantial cash reserves, will facilitate the refinancing of
the mortgage later in 2010.”

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. — MDI Healthcare Solutions, Inc., announced today that two of the
company’s senior executives will present a roundtable discussion at the
prestigious CFO Rising Conference, Navigating The New Normal on
Tuesday, March 9th in Orlando FL. The discussion, entitled,
Rx for Health Care: Why an Integrated Approach to Health Care Spend Can
Lower Costs will be presented by Andy Dengos, SVP
of Sales Business Development and Rick Farris, VP of Sales.

As health care costs continue to rise—a predicted 7 percent this year
alone-–companies are looking for effective ways to manage their
exposure. Part of the problem is that many organizations do not know
what they are paying for: they are rich in claims data, but information
poor. MDI’s Andy Dengos and Rick Farris have been scheduled by the
conference organizers to present an introduction to the multiple uses of
analytics and predictive modeling in health care cost containment. The
presentation will show corporate CFOs a multitude of tools to ensure
cost savings as well as outline the benefits of unit cost management and
an integrated approach to managing health care spending.

“In this age of ever evolving applications of data, an understanding of
the role analytics and enhanced predictability can play in containing
costs is really critical to corporations,” said Andy Dengos, MDI’s Sr.
Vice President of Sales and Business Development.

CFO Rising is the signature conference hosted by CFO magazine, an award
winning business of the Economist Group, reaching over 600,000 corporate
executives around America. The CFO Rising Conference attracts between
300-400 senior financial executives. It examines issues that are
pertinent to finance executives with clear corporate agendas.

OneScreen Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OSCN), has been facilitating video syndication for movie and Broadway content across several Internet web sites. Based on the essence of the OneScreen Media Exchange, video content creators can generate revenue from syndicating content to publishers where advertisers are looking to place their campaigns. Movie and Broadway content is one of many supported category verticals on the OneScreen Media Exchange.

Network Global, a company that operates Broadway.tv, is currently featured on out-of-home television screens in New York City taxi cabs and is now syndicating through the OneScreen Media Exchange. ZAMM.com, a content portal founded by Martin Grove and partnered with Alloy Media for monetization, has also chosen to syndicate movie review content through OneScreen. Moviezen.com, one of the worlds most comprehensive resource for movies with a thriving community of cinema lovers, is also one of the first web publishers to enable movie review content from the Media Exchange among their many movie reviews, celebrity and movie news, photos, and videos. Monetization is provided by advertising networks, including Tremor Media, Scanscout, and Adify Network NCM (National CineMedia). These advertising networks provide targeted video and display advertising with both content creators and publishers sharing in the revenue.

These content providers and publishers are all utilizing OneScreens Media Sites video integration, which provides them instant-on video capabilities without the need to change existing properties or manage complex implementations. The Media Player integration provides advertising network and server optimization and is fully integrated into playlist management provided by OneScreen. These sites are found at videos.broadway.tv, videos.zamm.com, and videos.moviezen.com. “Implementation and customization continues to be an important need of our clients,” stated Spencer Scott, Chief Revenue Officer of OneScreen. “We satisfy this need with robust products that can easily adapt to maximize revenue generation efforts.”

“Since the launch of our OneScreen Media Exchange from its closed beta, we have been seeing significant traction across many verticals,” stated Atul Patel, Chief Executive Officer of OneScreen. “Content companies are joining our exchange at a rapid pace, providing publishers more ways to engage and monetize their users, and offering advertisers better ways to target their messaging to the right audience, at the right place, and against the right content.” OneScreen continues to build enablement technology for all platforms, including Internet, IPTV, mobile, and out-of-home, allowing all the parties to take full advantage of the trends in digital video.

Morgan Freeman and Sandra Bullock on top for acting Oscars

NEW YORK — There are the dresses and the pageantry, as well as waiting to see what
people will say during their acceptance speeches. But at the end of the
night it comes down to three awards – best actor, best actress and best
picture. There is also the new twist of having 10 movies nominated for
best picture instead of the normal five.

This year, one in five Americans (18%) believes that Avatar should
win the Academy Award for best picture while 15% say the Oscar should go
to The Blind Side. One in ten U.S. adults (9%) say The Hurt
Locker should win best picture, 6% say the award should go to Precious:
Based on the novel Push by Sapphire, and 5% each say the Oscar
should go to Up and Inglourious Basterds. Small
percentages believe the Oscar should go to Up in the Air (2%) or District
9 (2%) and less than 1% believe it should go to A Serious Man
or An Education. One-third of Americans (33%) are not sure who
the best picture Oscar should go to this year and 5% say it should go to
none of the nominated films.

These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,073
adults surveyed online between March 2 and 4, 2010 by Harris
Interactive.

There is a gender divide for best picture. One in five men (20%) say Avatar
should win the Oscar while one in five women (20%) believe it should
go to The Blind Side.

Consumers Demanding Greater Value in Movie-like Realism, Thinner
Screens and Energy-efficiency

SAN DIEGO — Touting the start of a new age in consumer demand, a Samsung Vice
President today told display industry executives that consumers want
energy-efficiency, ultra-thin designs and a rich, movie-like viewing
experience in their TVs – that will include 3D programming over time.
Speaking at the 2010 U.S. Flat Panel Display Conference (sponsored by
the DisplaySearch market analysis firm), Scott Birnbaum, Vice President,
Samsung Electronics’ LCD Business, said consumers are buying TVs in
droves, in spite of a lackluster economy and high unemployment rates,
because TV’s presence in the household is changing dramatically. He said
television is being transformed from power-hungry, space consuming floor
furniture to increasingly energy-efficient, extremely thin and vibrant
wall hangings that look like enhanced “windows to the world,” even
outside of a home theatre setting.

“Consumers are no longer satisfied with a decent picture and a good
warranty. Today, they are looking at TVs as chic liquid-crystal wall
displays; Energy-Star-rated pieces of living art; and providers of
crystal clear, movie-like viewing experiences,” Birnbaum said.

Ultra-thin TV panels are extremely popular right now, with LED TV
displays between 3.9 mm and 10.8 mm, Birnbaum said. Only a couple years
ago, the norm was 3-5 inches thick, while the CRT TVs of the last four
decades were up to a couple feet thick. “People increasingly want their
TVs not only off the floor but flat against the wall, and the display
industry is moving quickly to accommodate that desire,” Birnbaum further
said.

Consumers also want a rich viewing experience. For television, the new
age of consumer demand is coalescing around “picture perfect”
enhancements that began a few years ago with much higher contrast
ratios, a 16:9 theatre-like aspect ratio and faster refresh rates.

RadioTime Guide Will Serve as the Web Radio Tuner for the New MINI
Connected Option

DALLAS — RadioTime, Inc., a developer of technology for finding and listening to
radio online, today announced MINI has integrated the RadioTime web
radio service into its MINI Connected option, which offers a unique USB
interface for optimum integration of the Apple iPhone in the car’s audio
and infotainment system. The MINI Connected option makes MINI the first
car manufacturer in the world to offer this function in a regular
production car.

The MINI Connected option features a web radio function based on the
RadioTime directory that leverages the iPhone’s Internet connection to
tune to thousands of AM/FM and Internet-only radio stations worldwide.

Sitting in a MINI networked through MINI Connected, the driver can tune
to web radio stations airing anywhere in the world and regardless of his
current location, depending on Internet connection and network coverage.
The driver chooses his station the usual way through the car’s audio and
infotainment system, making the controls convenient and safe while
driving.

“Drivers love radio because it’s free and requires no registration or
setup, but accessing Internet radio used to require patching a
smartphone into a car’s existing sound system, and fiddling with a
smartphone’s controls,” said Bill Moore, CEO, RadioTime. “Now, instead
of looking at your smartphone screen, you can use the dash display and
MINI Joystick to tune to web radio. Radio has always been an integral
part of our cars, and we’re opening up the world of music, news, talk,
sports and entertainment that only web radio can offer.”

Based on the study, which used an assumed benchmark average of $2.5 million per 30-seconds of Super Bowl in-game air time, Kia spent the lowest amount for every percent of market share gained at approximately $255,000 for its Sorento, with an average three week increase in share among car shoppers of 19.6 percent, the second highest increase in the study. Hyundai paid the second lowest amount of approximately $336,000 for every percent of market share gained for its Sonata, while experiencing the highest average three week increase of share among car shoppers at 22.3 percent. On the other hand, Audis market share among car shoppers dipped half a percent even after its approximated $5 million media buy.

Results of the model-specific Jumpstart analysis follow.

Kyriakoza, an automotive marketing and brand expert, says the Jumpstart analysis is intended to help auto marketers develop a greater understanding of how offline media, especially broad-reaching events like the Super Bowl, impact true shopping behavior and brand consideration.

JOIN thousands of people quitting smoking for their New Years resolution and save your looks. Thats the message from NHS Yorkshire and Humber and hypnotherapist Debbie Taylor-Payne from Hypnotherapy Rooms, Marsh. Ms Taylor-Payne says an increasing number of smokers are coming to her for help because of concerns about premature physical ageing that their habit causes. Smoking can cause ageing of the skin, premature wrinkles around the eyes and lips and it dehydrates the body and depletes it of vital vitamins. Ms Taylor-Payne said: “I have a special interest in helping people to achieve their youthful best and think thats its never too late to stop smoking and enhance your looks and health.”
Byline: HILARIE STELFOX PAIN-FREE labour without drugs sounds like every mother-to-bes idea of perfect childbirth. The reality is often quite different. But, says hypnotherapist Karen Riley, there really is a way to give birth painlessly. One of her clients, Jill Wilson from Brighouse, used hypnotherapy techniques during labour and to achieve a successful pregnancy. She was so inspired by her experiences that she is now training to be a hypnotherapist herself in order to help other women. Karen, an applied biology graduate and member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis, specialises in working with women who are having difficulty conceiving and couples who want to learn techniques to assist a natural birth. She is the UK director of the HypnoFertility Foundation, which originated in the US, and leads workshops for other therapists. Karen, who lives in Outlane, said: “HypnoFertility works on a physical level. If you get very stressed about something and fertility treatment is very stressful then the bodys fight or flight reaction kicks in and the blood supply to the uterus is diverted to the legs and other parts of the body. “So, at the very time you need a good hormonal balance and a rich blood supply to the uterus, all these resources are going somewhere else.
POLICE officers are being given hypnotherapy to help them stop smoking – at the taxpayers expense. The West Midlands force put 140 officers through hour-long sessions. At least 65 per cent of them have quit and most of the others have cut down. And now the countrys biggest forces, including the Met, are looking at launching their own schemes. The once-a-month hypnotherapy sessions cost pounds 40 each, with police forces stumping up half the cost and the taxpayer the rest.

Chartwell Seniors Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: CSH.UN) announced today results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009.

2009 HIGHLIGHTS:

Same property net operating income (”NOI”) decreased $0.3 million or 0.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period last year. For the year ended December 31, 2009 same property NOI decreased $0.9 million or 0.5% compared to last year. The implementation of rent increases on renewal and turnover, increased ancillary revenues, and targeted cost reductions partially offset the negative impact of reduced occupancies, property and commodity tax increases, and a one-time increase in vacation and benefit cost estimates compared to the prior year. Same property occupancy was 91.8% in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 0.5 percentage points from the previous quarter of 2009 but down from 93.1% in last years fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2009 same property occupancy was 91.6% compared to 93.3% in the prior year.

In the Canadian Retirement portfolio same property NOI decreased $1.0 million or 4.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period last year. For the year ended December 31, 2009 same property NOI decreased $1.8 million or 1.8% compared to last year. The NOI declines are primarily attributable to lower occupancies, particularly in the British Columbia portfolio, as well as one-time increases in estimated liabilities for employee vacation and benefits recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. Same property occupancies in Ontario were healthy at 93.1% in the fourth quarter of 2009, up from 92.1% in the third quarter of the year and lower than 94.1% in the fourth quarter of last year. Customer traffic and expected future arrivals maintained positive trends and management is optimistic that this improvement will translate into continued increases in occupancies in 2010. In addition, the spillover effect from significant waiting lists for long-term care beds in the province should continue supporting the increased demand for retirement suites. Performance in the Quebec portfolio continues to show steady growth with same property average occupancy improving to 88.6% in the fourth quarter of 2009, up from 87.8% in the third quarter of 2009 and from 85.5% in the fourth quarter of last year. In Western Canada, while Alberta occupancies remained strong, continued oversupply conditions in two British Columbia markets, combined with reduced occupancies at one long-term care community, resulted in same property occupancies declining to 90.3% in the fourth quarter of 2009 from 91.0% in the third quarter of 2009 and 95.0% in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. — MDI Healthcare Solutions, Inc., announced today that two of the
company’s senior executives will present a roundtable discussion at the
prestigious CFO Rising Conference, Navigating The New Normal on
Tuesday, March 9th in Orlando FL. The discussion, entitled,
Rx for Health Care: Why an Integrated Approach to Health Care Spend Can
Lower Costs will be presented by Andy Dengos, SVP
of Sales Business Development and Rick Farris, VP of Sales.

As health care costs continue to rise—a predicted 7 percent this year
alone-–companies are looking for effective ways to manage their
exposure. Part of the problem is that many organizations do not know
what they are paying for: they are rich in claims data, but information
poor. MDI’s Andy Dengos and Rick Farris have been scheduled by the
conference organizers to present an introduction to the multiple uses of
analytics and predictive modeling in health care cost containment. The
presentation will show corporate CFOs a multitude of tools to ensure
cost savings as well as outline the benefits of unit cost management and
an integrated approach to managing health care spending.

“In this age of ever evolving applications of data, an understanding of
the role analytics and enhanced predictability can play in containing
costs is really critical to corporations,” said Andy Dengos, MDI’s Sr.
Vice President of Sales and Business Development.

CFO Rising is the signature conference hosted by CFO magazine, an award
winning business of the Economist Group, reaching over 600,000 corporate
executives around America. The CFO Rising Conference attracts between
300-400 senior financial executives. It examines issues that are
pertinent to finance executives with clear corporate agendas.
