February 9, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ AstraZeneca has won FDA approval to market its cholesterol drug Crestor to people who have healthy cholesterol levels. Crestor can now be marketed to certain groups as a drug that can help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

According to the AP, a 2008 study showed that Crestor reduced heart attacks, strokes and other problems by 44% in patients with normal cholesterol and slight heart disease risks. All patients had an elevated level of C-reactive protein, which is an indicator of inflammation that can lead to heart attack or stroke.

The FDA has now approved Crestor for men over 50 and women over 60 and who have elevated C-reactive protein levels and at least one risk factor for heart trouble, such as high blood pressure or a smoking habit.

Crestor is already AstraZeneca's third-best-selling drug, with revenue rising 29% to $4.5 billion last year, and now the FDA has cleared the way for up to 6 million more people in the US to buy the drug.

US Justice Department Rejects Google Book Settlement

February 9, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ The US Justice Department determined that copyright and antitrust issues haven't been adequately addressed in the latest proposed settlement between Google and authors and publishers in the ongoing copyright infringement suit against the online giant.

The lawsuit, now in its fifth year of litigation, claims that Google is breaching artist copyright by attempting to digitally scan copyrighted books and include them in the Google books online repository. 
  
The Author's Guild, for its part, is trying to settle the case with Google instead of wasting legal funds and energy to win empty victories similar to what the RIAA did with Napster and Grokster, the Guild said in a statement on its website.

However, the Open Book Alliance, a group opposed to the settlement that includes Amazon, Microsoft, and Yahoo, was pleased with the rejection of the latest deal.

Housing Prices Moving North in Canada

February 9, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ While its neighbor to the south is suffering a major housing crisis, Canada is seeing a housing boom, with home prices expected to hit all-time highs in 2010.

The Globe and Mail reports that low interest rates and the upcoming implementation of a harmonized sales tax in B.C. and Ontario are fueling the hot housing market in Canada. New home construction is up and prices for existing homes are swelling to historical highs, especially in Vancouver where detached homes are already out of the price range of most home buyers.

The Canadian Real Estate Association predicts that the average price for a home will rise to $337,550 CAN this year, a 5% increase from 2009.

Is this a good run for Canada or simply the next housing bubble waiting to burst?

Company Apologizes for Falsifying Airplane Seat Safety Data

February 9, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ On the heels of the Toyota recall, another Japanese manufacturer is in hot water over safety concerns. However, Koito Industries have gone a step further in its misdeed and falsified its safety data for seats currently installed in more than 1,000 aircraft.

Japan's largest aircraft-seat manufacturer faked strength test data for more than 150,000 seats used in Boeing and Airbus aircraft, according to AFP. Companies that have bought planes with Koito Industries seats include Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Air Canada, KLM, Scandinavian Airlines and Singapore Airlines.
  
Koito Industries' president Takashi Kakegawa apologized at a Monday news conference for the forged data, saying that the company worried there would be a delay of deliveries had the seats failed the tests.

An official from Japan's transportation ministry said, &quot;The data were fabricated, but this doesn't mean airplanes would be immediately at risk. Proper retesting would prove most of the seats' safety.&quot; However, data falsification may have been occurring for more than 15 years.

Colorado Geothermal Land Lease Delayed for Third Time

February 9, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ The Obama administration may desire to invest more in Geothermal energy, but the regulatory hurdles, lack of education about geothermal power and citizen protests may be the green industry's biggest stumbling blocks -- if the situation in Colorado is any indication of things to come.

According to the Denver Post, the Bureau of Land Management delayed for the third time a lease of 800 acres of land for geothermal power. The land would house the state's first geothermal power plant, but the bureau stated that more environmental reviews were needed before a lease could be granted.

The bureau says that the delay this time was prompted by more than 240 protest letters and a five-hour meeting with 170 area residents. The 800 acres are located in Chaffee County, which is on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in central Colorado - 140 miles from Denver.

February, 2010

/ EINPresswire.com / Barack Obama, the first African American president in history has astounded the literary world with his public speaking and eloquent speeches. He is simply second to none when it comes to the art of persuasion. Incredible Obama is a book that clearly depicts what you would not normally find in any other book.

Barack Obama has maximized his natural born potential to his advantage by convincing the public to believe in change. Although some of his choices are heavily criticized, one cannot ignore the fact that he is one of the most influential people in the world. Within his first year only as president, he has already won the Noble-peace prize for 2009.

Barack Obama during a press conference in February 9, 2009 comments: &quot;My whole goal over the next four years is to make sure that, whatever arguments are persuasive and backed up by evidence and facts and proof that they can work, that we are pulling people together around that kind of pragmatic agenda&quot;

By dividing the book, Incredible Obama, into sections beginning in 2002, the reader saves time by simply finding the quotes and speeches by date. With just 130 pages, Incredible Obama can actually be carried almost everywhere and easily shared among friends and colleagues. 

Although the book is titled &quot;Incredible Obama&quot;, it actually paints a picture of the incredible skills of a very established public speaker. This book defies the aspect of time as it naturally sets itself to be a historic book. It is available on Amazon.com

/ EINPresswire.com/ A new minimally invasive surgical technique known as TESSYS was pioneered in Germany and has arrived in the U.S.A.  TESSYS is a set of sophisticated surgical instruments and high resolution camera that can be maneuvered through a very small incision no larger than a small finger nail. This procedure allows for exceptionally gentle correction of the painful condition commonly known as &quot;slipped disc&quot;.

Dr. Robert Kelly, D.O., a Pain Management Specialist at Rutherford Allied Medical who is performing this new procedure said, &quot;I love seeing patients walk out of our same day surgical center with much of their debilitating pain relieved. This surgery has many wonderful advantages over the classic back operation methods, specifically, less post-surgical infections, minimal post-surgical pain, and faster recovery ranging from 2 to 4 weeks versus 3 to 6 months, with a documented 93% success rate when performed on the ideal candidate&quot;.

Bob Barker Rammed by Illegal Whaler

/EIN Presswire/ At 1209 PM Fremantle, Australia time, the Yushin Maru 3 intentionally rammed the Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker, penetrating it's hull and endangering the lives of it¹s crew. The collision occurred at 65 degrees 21 South, 67 degrees 58 East, about 180 miles off Cape Darnley in the Australian Antarctic Territory.

The Bob Barker had been actively blocking the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, the Japanese whaling fleet's factory ship when the collision occurred. Four harpoon ships, the Yushin Maru 1, 2, and 3 and Shonan Maru 2, were circling and making near passes to the stern and bow of the Sea Shepherd vessel. The Bob Barker did not move from its position. At which point, the Yushin Maru 3 intentionally rammed the Bob Barker, creating a 3-foot long 4-inch deep gash in the mid starboard side of the Sea Shepherd vessel above the waterline.

No crew was injured during the collision. The Bob Barker continues to block the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, preventing the transfer of slaughtered whales and effectively shutting down illegal whaling operations.

The incident demonstrates a continued escalation of violence by the illegal whalers in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Said Captain Paul Watson from the bridge of the Steve Irwin, currently en route to join the action, &quot;Because the whalers got away basically scot-free with the outrageous sinking of the Ady Gil, they now apparently think they can do whatever they want and they appear to have no qualms about endangering Sea Shepherd crew. What we really need is for the governments of Australia and New Zealand to step up and start enforcing maritime laws in these waters, or who know what the whalers will do next. Australian and New Zealand lives are at risk every day in these waters.&quot;

The crew of the Bob Barker noticed that the Yushin Maru 3 stopped moving in the water shortly after the impact, and appeared to be falling behind as the Bob Barker maintained its position on the stern of the Nisshin Maru. It's possible the Yushin Maru 3 damaged itself in the collision.

The Japanese whalers are far more aggressive this year than in past campaigns.

Valentine's Day Dates That Will Win Her Heart without Busting Your Budget


5 Off-Beat Ideas for 'Action Dates' from Dating Coach Trance Wood

New York, NY - February 5, 2010 — In these challenging financial times, it can be difficult to find and keep love on a limited budget. With Valentine's Day coming up, Trance Wood, a NY-based Real Life &quot;Hitch&quot; says it's possible to find love and have fun by using a bit more creativity.

&quot;First off,&quot; says Wood, &quot;dinner on a first date is a bad idea. It's sedentary and puts pressure on a couple getting to know one another — and nothing kills a first date faster than bad table manners and food stuck in your teeth.&quot;

Wood advises his clients to create an &quot;action date&quot; that gets couples to collaborate and talk about their interests. Here are 5 active ideas for building the romance:

1. Walk in the Park - How can a walk in the park qualify as a great Valentine's Day date? Build it up and bundle up! Remind her of when you both were kids and how much fun a simple walk in the park could be. Walking side by side through Central Park is a great chance to have the kind of conversation that can lead to romance. Be sure to bring bread to feed the ducks, and a thermos of steaming hot chocolate or brandy and two snifters.

2. Bookstore Browsing - If you both love to read, browsing around in one of those big, open book stores like Barnes &amp; Noble can be fun, relaxed and revealing. You can each find some favorite books in your favorite mega-store then settle in with a coffee and read to each other for fun or romance.

3. An Indoor Picnic - Promise her a picnic for Valentine's Day complete with her favorite foods. Then take her on a shopping &quot;spree&quot; and choose some fun food items together. Head for a warm, public space you can enjoy together. If you're in Manhattan, one great place is the Sony Building at Madison and 55th. Enjoy - peel some grapes for her for that extra touch!

4. Trip to the pet shop - Does she have a thing for dogs or cats? Take her to the pet shop and have some holding and playing with her favorite pets. It could be the start of puppy love.

5. A priceless trip to the 99 cent store - How can a visit to a 99 cent store be romantic? Tell her you are going to find out how well you've come to know each other. Then make it a game: each of you gets $10 to buy items that remind her of you, and vice versa. Keep the items a secret. Then go out for coffee and present the gifts with a story to go with them. It can be a fun way to get closer.

Now use your imagination! It's not how much you spend, its how special and fun you make it. Happy Valentine's Day!

February 8, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ On March 4, a law goes into effect in Mexico City that allows same-sex couples to marry and adopt children. Mexican President Felipe Calderon and other detractors of the law are scrambling for ways to stop it from taking effect.

Calderon said the country's Constitution defines marriage as between a man and a woman, but legal experts disagree with his interpretation. His administration is challenging the law in court, pointing to a constitutional clause protecting family. Meanwhile, Roman Catholic groups are standing strongly behind the conservative federal government.

February 8, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ The debt-laden recording industry megalabel EMI is looking to slash its workforce in order to attract more than 120 million GBP in capital, according to EMI CEO Elio Leoni-Sceti. 

Those cuts could include up to 3,500 job loses and the dissolution of contracts with loss-generating artists. The Mail Online reports that without the 120 million GBP in fresh capital, Citigroup would foreclose on a loan to investment group Terra Firma and take control of the company.

EMI's auditor, KPMG, has expressed significant doubt about EMI's ability to move forward.

Nationwide program assists schools, churches, charities, and other NPOs

February 8, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ -- A new nationwide grant program will provide qualifying Non-Profit Organizations with thousands of dollars in cash allowances and services for the purpose of installing new energy efficient lighting systems. The program was created by VistaBright Lighting, a national supplier of energy efficient lighting products (www.vistabright.com). The grants are designed to assist educational institutions (private and public), churches, charitable organizations, community groups, and all other qualifying NPOs in reducing the costs of buying and installing state-of-the-art light fixtures in their facilities before the end of 2010. Using this &quot;green technology&quot; results in a significant reduction in monthly energy costs, which can have a major impact in lowering an organization's annual expenses.

Old technology lighting is notoriously power hungry. Such systems use metal halide, incandescent or sodium lamps, and are typically found in light fixtures in gyms, auditoriums, factories, warehouses and outdoor lighting applications. Energy usage can be reduced by over 50% by using high efficiency fluorescent or LED lights in new construction projects or in retro-fitting existing facilities. Additional benefits include reduced eye strain, improved visual acuity, and the environment is protected through the reduced consumption of fossil fuels.

The grant program is made possible through the on-going efforts of VistaBright Lighting in organizing the nationwide Energy ALERTSM Alliance, comprised of lighting industry manufacturers, distributors, and electrical contractors. ALERTSM is an acronym for Advanced Lighting Equipment Replacement Technology.

&quot;ALERTSM Grants provide qualifying NPOs with products and services worth thousands of dollars and are scalable to the size of each project&quot; said Craig Pringle, President of the Alliance. Pringle went on to say, &quot;In addition to the cash allowances towards the purchase of fixtures and lamps, the program includes free professional design and consulting services, reduction of installation costs through the ALERTSM electrical contractor network, and possible additional grants directly from Energy ALERTSM Alliance member firms&quot;.

Interested organizations can download grantee qualifications, application instructions, and an application form at the ALERTSM website:

www.energyALERTalliance.com/grants.php

Grants will be issued on a weekly basis, with March 31, 2010 being the application deadline. Applying early will improve an organization's eligibility for a grant.

February 8, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ The Institute of Cancer Research has found that women with breast cancer had more manageable side effects when their radiotherapy was delivered in larger - but fewer - doses. 

The study found that women who received the larger doses experienced less skin changes than those subjected to the normal dose. These larger, less-frequent doses also reduce the total amount of radiation delivered over the course of the breast cancer treatment.

Meg McArthur, from the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity, told The Telegraph: &quot;Radiotherapy is important in reducing the chance of cancer coming back but women have told Breakthrough that attending many sessions can be both physically and emotionally draining. Anything that has the potential to deliver radiotherapy treatment in a way that could benefit a patient's quality of life is to be welcomed.&quot;

February 8, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ One company is taking a new approach to food pasteurization. ScanTech Sciences Inc. has developed a way to treat foods via &quot;cold&quot; electronic pasteurization.

An article in the South Florida Business Journal says ScanTech uses an electron beam and X-Ray tech to send a current through fruits, vegetables and meats to prevent food-borne illness and insect infestation. A side-benefit of this treatment is that it yields a longer shelf-life for the products, which could help in terms of food exports. According to ScanTech, strawberries could last up to three weeks longer with cold pasteurization.

The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 76 million food illnesses occur annually in the US from exposure to bacteria, a high number partially due to old methods of food treatment - such as methyl bromide treatment - being phased out.
