MultiMedia Intelligence Sees Black Friday Sales Down 5% from 2008 with a Bleak Cyber Monday to Follow, Maybe GREEN Will Save the DAY
Tue ,24/11/2009Business Wire, Nov 24, 2009
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — MultiMediaIntelligences research has exposed a brutal truth with a
report over a year in the making: these holidays may be cancelled. An
ugly start to the 2009 seasonal holiday spending frenzy, aka Black
Friday, is about to happen. PMPs (Personal Media Players) to 73″ HDTVs
to PCs to Mobile Handsets will suffer this holiday season. That means
from semiconductors manufacturers to box makers there will be pain for
all. Case in point: the semiconductor industry got downgraded Thursday,
Nov. 19th, 2009 because analysts determined that inventories
were rapidly replenished; meaning, no back log for chips. Our current
research: Theres No Such Thing as GREEN Technologies Just Good
Business: Economic, Technological, and Political Influences in GREEN?
Thinking, shows that spending will be down this holiday
season, ranging from best case, down 2%, to worst case, down 5%.
According to MMIresearch, the sub-prime disaster here in the U.S.
reared its ugly head mid-2007. Shortly after that it was evident the
U.S. wasnt alone, it was a global problem. By mid-2009 the U.S. had
seen approximately $7T of its peoples wealth disappear. Now every
industry is suffering, except for three: foreclosures, bankruptcy and
the U.S. Government! Government
said if we dont pass TARP, unemployment in the U.S. could reach 9%.
Well, TARP was passed and 9% unemployment in the U.S

Sat ,21/11/2009Business Wire, Nov 20, 2009
ST. LOUIS — Covidien (NYSE:COV), a leading global provider of healthcare products,
today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set
a new action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act for the
review of the New Drug Application (NDA) for Exalgo (hydromorphone HCl
extended-release) Tablets (CII), (Exalgo) of February 22, 2010.
Neuromed Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and Covidien recently provided the FDA
with supplemental information, which the agency determined to be a major
amendment to the NDA. As a result, the FDA has extended its action date
by three months to allow more time to review the application.
The proposed indication for Exalgo is once daily administration for the
management of moderate to severe pain in opioid tolerant patients
requiring continuous, around-the-clock opioid analgesia for an extended
period of time.

United States, based on number of prescriptions. Neuromed is working to
develop new and improved pain medicines.
We are committed to providing patients with advanced pain medications
and are optimistic that Exalgo will be approved, said Timothy R.
Wright, President, Pharmaceuticals, Covidien. We will continue working
with Neuromed and the Agency on securing approval for Exalgo.
The U.S. rights to Exalgo were acquired from Neuromed by Mallinckrodt
Inc., a Covidien company, in June 2009. Under the agreement, Covidien is
responsible for all commercialization activities for Exalgo in the U.S.,
including marketing, sales and all post-approval FDA regulatory filings.
Neuromed will continue to work with Covidien to complete the clinical
development and regulatory approval process.

First look: Photoshop Elements 8: a new look and content-aware scaling lead the charge in this update.(Digital Photo)(Product/service evaluation)
Sat ,21/11/2009Macworld, December, 2009 by LePage, Rick
In the two years since Photoshop Elements 6 (****1/2;macworld.com/3505) appeared to wide acclaim, Mac users have watched as their Windows compatriots progressed to version 7. At the same time, competition has heated up from an ever-growing crop of inexpensive image editors for the Mac, such as Acorn (***1/2;macworld.com/3164) and Pixelmator (****; macworld.com/3165).
Adobe is once again staking its claim in the consumer Mac image-editing market with Photoshop Elements 8 (www.adobe.com)–released nearly simultaneously on the Mac and Windows. The new version (which costs $100, and comes with a $20 mail-in rebate) offers new tools, sports an updated interface, and includes technology from its much larger sibling, Photoshop CS4

GoHealthInsurance Lays Out Five Reasons Why You Should Never Go Without Health Insurance Coverage
Fri ,20/11/2009Market Wire, August, 2009
For some, health insurance can be an
expensive and complicated mess. Policyholders have to worry about monthly
payments, managing benefits and claims; no wonder so many people think life
is easier without health insurance.
But being uninsured is a big mistake and here are the top five reasons why:
1. Accidents happen
There will always be events beyond our control. Even if you live a
perfectly safe and healthy life, a car accident or sudden illness
could change things in an instant. Without insurance, a manageable
hospital bill can quickly turn into a financial disaster.
