APIC announces antibiotic stewardship advocacy agenda as part of White House ‘Antibiotic Stewardship Forum’

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) issued the following statement in advance of today’s White House Antibiotic Stewardship Forum. APIC President Mary Lou Manning, PhD, CRNP, CIC, FAAN, FNAP, will represent the organization at the forum. APIC is proud to join more than 150 major food companies, retailers, and human and animal health stakeholders at the White House Forum on Antibiotic Stewardship to discuss strategies to slow the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, detect resistant strains, preserve the efficacy of our existing antibiotics, and prevent the spread of resistant infections. We support the President’s efforts to promote antibiotic stewardship. APIC believes that the U.S. must do more to protect the 2 million Americans who develop infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year and the 23,000 who will die as a result. More than half of all hospitalized patients will get an antibiotic at some point during their hospital stay, but studies have shown that 30 to 50 percent of antibiotics prescribed in hospitals are unnecessary or incorrect, contributing to the problem of antibiotic resistance. In conjunction with today’s White House event and in support of APIC’s patient safety mission, APIC shared its new advocacy agenda to promote antibiotic stewardship. As part of the new advocacy agenda, APIC outlined the role of its members, infection preventionists, and how they benefit stewardship programs. APIC’s 15,000 members work with health professionals from varied backgrounds and care settings to teach and promote infection prevention, patient safety, and healthcare quality improvement. APIC members work with their colleagues to identify and report trends and outbreaks from antibiotic-resistant infections; support efforts to improve antibiotic prescribing and stewardship; and implement interventions to guide the delivery of evidence-based practices to prevent infections. APIC has promoted a number of efforts to support antibiotic stewardship including clinician education and training, consumer education, and public policy initiatives. APIC organized a coalition of stakeholders to increase resources for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network and urged its members to send a letter to Congress supporting funding for healthcare-associated infection and antibiotic resistance prevention programs, which would be able to provide real-time data on antibiotic use. APIC also educates consumers through the “Infection Prevention and You” campaign initiative, which highlights resources and information on antibiotic resistance. Successful efforts to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria must recognize the collective responsibility to protect the effectiveness of all antibiotics – those we have today, and those yet to be developed; recognize the potential for these life-saving drugs to be overused in both the human and agricultural sectors; and recognize that there are challenges on both the demand side and the supply side of the equation. Antibiotic resistance is an urgent health concern that demands the full attention of healthcare professionals, policy makers, and the public. It is vitally important that we act now to preserve antibiotics for the patients of today and for future generations. ABOUT APIC APIC’s mission is to create a safer world through prevention of infection. The association’s more than 15,000 members direct infection prevention programs that save lives and improve the bottom line for hospitals and other healthcare facilities. APIC advances its mission through patient safety, implementation science, competencies and certification, advocacy, and data standardization. Visit APIC online at www.apic.org.

Redline Detection's New High-Pressure Leak Detector Eliminates Threat of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning for Truck/Bus Drivers & Passengers

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redline Detection, the industry leader in OEM-approved diagnostic leak detection equipment, today announced its HD PowerSmoke ensures the safety of truck and bus drivers (and their passengers) by eliminating the threat of toxic carbon monoxide fumes entering the cabin. In fleets where HD PowerSmoke is not in use, the odorless and tasteless gas escapes through undetected leaks in the exhaust system into the cabin. Traditionally, visual inspection has been the technicians only choice for detecting these leaks until now. HD PowerSmoke is the only diagnostic machine in the heavy duty market that can, in a single 10-minute procedure, reliably detect any boosted intake or exhaust leak, pinpoint its exact location and precisely identify failing components, saving heavy duty truck operators and fleets valuable time, keeping drivers and their passengers safe from dangerous exhaust fumes and ensuring trucks and buses stay on the road. With this new technology, fleets can be assured there are no exhaust leaks AND ensure that driver cabin/passenger compartments are fully sealed affording a double layer of safety protection. “HD PowerSmoke was recently named essential equipment for several fleets. And as soon as these technicians saw HD PowerSmoke in action, they immediately recognized it is the ONLY way to ensure that the driver and the passengers in their vehicles will not be exposed to fumes or carbon monoxide in the cabin, a rising concern among many fleet operators,” said Alex Parker, executive vice president of Redline Detection. “With Redline’s new HD PowerSmoke technology, fleet operators can focus on their business at hand, knowing the driver cabin/passenger compartments have been scanned for exhaust leaks and are fully sealed, and be confident that they have eliminated the associated liability from these leaks.” HD PowerSmoke has been named mandatory/essential equipment by several OEMs. In response, Redline Detection is expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet the steeply increasing demand. Mandated Essential Equipment For nearly two years, Redline Detection has worked in collaboration with major OEM engineers to design and deploy HD PowerSmoke to every dealership, repair center, resulting in immediate, quantifiable results for owners and operators. HD PowerSmoke is specifically engineered to apply the precise pressure and volume of vapor needed to test the integrity of HD intake systems and exhaust systems in one quick procedure, with the engine safely off. Redline's patent-pending PowerSmoke Adaptors expand to seal off most every intake or exhaust system with every brand of heavy duty trucks, as well as medium duty. By generating variable vapor pressure from 2 to 20 PSI, HD PowerSmoke gives heavy duty technicians the ability to vary flow as different types and sizes of leaks will be easily visible at different pressures. HD PowerSmoke creates a dense, long-hanging and easily visible vapor without the use of dyes or other contaminants. Many OEMs prohibit the use of dyes in diagnostic testing as they may coat critical sensors and void warranties; once injected, dyes can never be fully removed from the system. HD PowerSmoke’s OEM-mandated vapor-producing fluid is safe for technicians, safe for vehicle engines and safe for the environment. HD PowerSmoke is on display at the American Trucking Association’s Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2015 Annual Meeting in Redline Detection’s booth number 315. About Redline Detection Redline Detection LLC, headquartered in Orange, Calif., develops and manufactures the world’s best-selling diagnostic leak detection equipment. From the world’s largest OEMs to individual heavy duty technicians, Redline Detection has built a global fan base for its excellence in the field, as well as for its ability to increase the bottom line.

SkyBitz and PSI Collaborate to Deliver Integrated Tire Pressure and Location Information

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SkyBitz®, the leader in remote asset tracking and information management solutions, and PSI, the world leader in automatic tire inflation systems, today announced a strategic collaboration resulting in an integrated trailer solution. Joint customers will be provided with integrated tire inflation data alongside asset information for managing their fleets. Tires are the top maintenance cost for fleets and tire under-inflation is the biggest issue affecting tires. Now with the ability to monitor tire pressure events and trailer location in real-time, customers can benefit from various maintenance improvements such as minimizing tire related roadside service calls, improving fuel economy, and reducing early tire removal due to irregular wear. “Trailer tires historically have the poorest air pressure on an 18-wheeler. By providing tire fault alerts into SkyBitz’s system, customers can monitor tire pressure in real-time and avoid costly roadside breakdowns,” said Al Cohn, Director, New Market Development & Engineering Support, PSI. “We are excited to work alongside SkyBitz to help solve some of the industry’s biggest challenges.” Through this new partnership, enhanced tire status and asset information from PSI and SkyBitz will be delivered through SkyBitz InSight, a Web application that provides a complete, real-time view of assets and cargo status and location information. Both the driver and the dispatcher will get real-time notifications if there is a tire system fault. Having this information allows for better maintenance of tire wear and ensures that the tire is taken care of the next time the trailer is taken into the shop for maintenance. Dispatchers can benefit from this information by helping them find and direct drivers to their company’s preferred maintenance shop in closest proximity to the affected trailer, resulting in cost savings. “We are pleased to add more value and a higher level of service through our integrated solution for customers,” said Henry Popplewell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, SkyBitz. “Together, SkyBitz and PSI solutions now allow our mutual customers to closely monitor their trailer tires for optimized maintenance as part of our overall comprehensive asset management solution.” To offer more about the integrated solution, SkyBitz and PSI will be holding a joint press conference later today during the 2015 TMC Annual Meeting, in Nashville, TN. The press conference will be held in room 205A from 4-4:30pm. For those not attending the 2015 TMC Annual Meeting, additional information can be found at: www.skybitz.com/tires.

Garden State bioEnterprises Adopts OriginOil Technology for High-Value Astaxanthin Harvesting

LOS ANGELES & WOODBINE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OriginOil, Inc. (OTC/BB: OOIL), the developer of a breakthrough water extraction process for the oil & gas and algae industries, and Garden State bioEnterprises, LLC (GS bioE), an emerging technology provider to the wholesale commercial algae production industry, announced today that GS bioE has adopted OriginOil’s harvesting technology as a key component of its proprietary production system for the high-value product Astaxanthin. In a recent trial, GS bioE concentrated its algae with an OriginOil Algae Appliance™ and then successfully stressed the cells into Astaxanthin-bearing product. “Being able to concentrate the algae that makes Astaxanthin is a potential game-changer for our industry,” said Andrew Greene, president of GS bioE. Greene continued, “We are very pleased with the successful results of our recent trial of OriginOil’s Algae Appliance. By deploying the OriginOil Algae Appliance, we were able to harvest the algae to a 5% solids concentration while keeping the algae cells viable. We were then able to stress them successfully into an Astaxanthin-bearing product.” He concluded, “We are satisfied with the performance of the Algae Appliance. Together with its ability to reduce bacteria, we expect its proven harvesting capability to give us a competitive edge in the production of natural Astaxanthin as we plan to make it a key component of our state-of-the-art Astaxanthin production system.” GS bioE very recently concluded its testing of the OriginOil Model 4 Algae Appliance™. The companies are now in discussion regarding GS bioE’s 2013 commercialization plans and the potential for expanded use of OriginOil technology. Priced at about $4,000 dollars a kilogram, Astaxanthin is produced by stressing a green algae into producing a red-tinted shell that contains the high-value product. The challenge is to grow this algae despite “crashes” caused by bacteria and other factors, and then to concentrate it without losing its ability to produce the Astaxanthin-bearing shell. Natural Astaxanthin, an extremely potent anti-oxidant, ranks among the most valuable compounds that can be extracted from algae. The research firm Oilgae forecasts Astaxanthin sales of nearly $2 billion by 2020, with uses in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food coloring. Astaxanthin is what gives wild salmon their pink color. Astaxanthin is commercially produced from the microalga Hematococcus pluvialis (HP). Once HP reaches a desired maturity and concentration in its green phase, it is stressed with ultraviolet light which makes it develop a red cyst containing between 1.5% and 4% Astaxanthin (Oilgae). But the growth and harvesting processes are extremely challenging. “HP is the ‘Diva’ of the algal strains, easily inhibited by bacteria, water hardness and the shear forces present in a pump or centrifuge,” said Jose Sanchez, general manager of OriginOil’s Algae Division. “These factors usually induce ‘crashes’ which force production restarts. Growth and harvesting difficulties have kept many players out of this market.” Sanchez continued, “By slashing bacterial counts, we can help Astaxanthin grow better with fewer crashes, and make the water reusable. And by successfully concentrating Hematococcus pluvialis as we have shown, we think we could increase the Astaxanthin concentration from 4% or less to as much as 6%. This is extremely promising, and we look forward to helping Garden State bioEnterprises enable the rapid expansion of Astaxanthin production worldwide. ” The two companies were introduced by Barry Cohen, President of the National Algae Association (NAA). Mr. Cohen was familiar with both the project requirements as well as the capabilities of both companies.

Fitch Affirms Peoria, Arizona Improvement Districts Bonds at 'AA'; Outlook Stable

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During the course of routine surveillance, Fitch Ratings affirms its 'AA' rating on the following bonds issued for various Peoria, AZ improvement districts: --$4.1 million in outstanding District No. 0601 (Park West), improvement bonds, series 2007; --$853,885 in outstanding District No. 8801 (North Valley Power Center Project), improvement bonds, series 1992; --$913,061 in outstanding District No. 8802 (Bell Road Improvements) improvement bonds, series 1992; --$159,887 in outstanding District No. 9601 (83rd Ave. Widening), improvement bonds, series 1997; and --$271,590 in outstanding District No. 9603 (Arrowhead Fountains Center), improvement bonds, series 1997. The Rating Outlook is Stable. RATING RATIONALE: --The bonds are a contingent liability of the city's general fund. --Four of the five districts include a mature status of development. --The pace of debt retirement is rapid and some prepayments have already occurred. --The city has maintained its solid financial profile, characterized by sizable reserves, despite recent weakness in key operating revenues. --The city has a heavy reliance on local sales tax revenues and state shared revenues for operations, and recent declines have forced the city to make a number of budget adjustments. --Fitch considers the city's extensive planning, reporting and forecasting efforts a credit strength, with these practices proving critical as the city responds to recessionary pressures. --Taxable values are declining as property value contraction is working through the multi-year assessment and appeal process, with management expecting a cumulative drop in values of nearly 50% over the next several years. KEY RATING DRIVERS: --While the city has some reduced flexibility due to the affects of the recession, it is unlikely the city would be unable to make up an assessment shortfall given the modest amount of improvement district debt outstanding. --The weakened commercial real estate market may continue to put pressure on property owners and may affect assessment payment revenues. SECURITY: The bonds issued by each district are secured by assessments levied against benefiting properties within the boundaries of the respective districts. In addition, under state law, the city is required to make up any assessment delinquencies prior to scheduled debt service payments from the city's general fund; all property owners in the districts are current with assessment payments, according to the city. CREDIT SUMMARY: Part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, Peoria has a 2010 census population of more than 154,000. The city's population represents an increase of more than 40% from the 2000 census. Local wealth levels are above average and unemployment rates historically have tracked well below regional, state and national averages. For March 2011, the city's rate was 6.1%, compared to the 8.7% rate for metropolitan area and 9.3% and 9.2% for the state and nation, respectively. As is the case throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area, residential construction in Peoria virtually collapsed in 2008 and 2009; housing starts plummeted from a peak of 3,560 in fiscal 2005 to just 108 in fiscal 2010. The five districts are primarily commercial/retail centers, with two of the five districts sharing a multifamily residential component. Four of the five districts have reached a mature status of development, with final debt maturity dates in January 2012 for district 9601 and 9603 and final maturity dates in January 2013 for district 8801 and 8802; the remaining debt for No. 0601 extends to 2022. Of the combined $21.7 million in debt originally issued by these districts $6.3 million remains outstanding, representing a manageable liability for the city in the unlikely event no additional assessment payments are made in any of the five districts. Overall, pledged revenue coverage was 1.17 (x) in fiscal 2010, down from the 1.4x-1.6x range in recent years due to scheduled debt service spike in 2010. In future years debt service declines, resulting in higher coverage. No. 0601, the least developed of the five districts with $4.1 million of debt outstanding, is located one mile northwest of the University of Phoenix stadium and is comprised of a 56 acre mixed-use area, including 360,000 square feet (SF) of retail space, 250 multi-family residential units, 70,000 SF of office space and a 2.5 acre site for a possible hotel. To date 150,000 SF of the retail area has been constructed and includes several retailers and restaurants. In addition, the apartment complex is complete and tenant occupied. The office parcel is currently for sale, but the hotel planned for the site has not been constructed. The city's financial profile continues to be sound, although operating pressures continue due to declining revenues. The general fund reported a second consecutive loss in fiscal 2010, posting a decline in fund balance of $6.9 million. This followed a $10.6 million drawdown the prior year. Despite the losses, reserves remain sound, with the fiscal 2010 unreserved general fund balance totaling $60.2 million, or roughly 56% of spending and transfers out. These drawdowns resulted from planned one-time expenditures and weakness in various revenues, most notably local sales tax, state shared sales tax, and licenses and permits. Local sales tax revenues dipped nearly 15% in fiscal 2009 and another 5% in fiscal 2010, while state shared sales revenues fell 13% and 8% during these years. Management responded to the deteriorating economic conditions with numerous spending adjustments beginning in fiscal 2009, including 66 positions eliminated, salary and vacant position freezes, a retirement incentive program, and operational consolidations. Additional cost saving measures were incorporated into the fiscal 2011 budget, including a 7.4% cut in general fund outlays and the elimination of nearly 60 positions. The budget spared core services and included no property tax rate increase. On the revenue side, sales tax revenues were projected to register a modest 1.4% increase. Management reports that both revenues and expense are tracking budget projections and there have been no material mid-year budgetary adjustments. While operating reserves are forecast to decline $17 million by year-end (due to one-time capital outlays), Fitch notes that the city had planned the reduction in fund balance, but still expects to maintain reserves at 35% of the average actual general fund revenues for the preceding five fiscal years, which is in conformity with the city's reserve policy. Given Peoria's experienced financial management team and extensive forecasting practices, Fitch believes the city will continue to take the necessary measures to maintain a sound financial footing. Despite capital and operating pressures stemming from growth, the city's debt load remains moderate. The current 10-year capital improvement plan totals $464 million, considerably less than the $1 billion plan in place two years ago as many growth-related projects were postponed or cancelled. Although the city has experienced tax base declines recently, the overall debt burden on citizens remains affordable at roughly $3,300 per capita and 3.5% of estimated full cash value (FCV). Tax base growth had been healthy in recent years, averaging more than 20% annual gains for the past five fiscal years. Fiscal 2010 witnessed a reversal of that trend with both secondary assessed value (SAV) and estimated FCV dipping more than 5%; SAV dropped another 15% in fiscal 2011 to $1.6 billion. Overall, the city is anticipating a cumulative tax base decline of more than 45% from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2013. Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'.

Motors Liquidation Company Expected to Distribute more than 75% of the Stock and Warrants that it owns in General Motors Company on or about April 21

DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Motors Liquidation Company (f/k/a General Motors Corporation) (“MLC”) today announced that on or about April 21, 2011, it expects to distribute more than 75 percent of the shares of common stock and warrants that MLC currently owns in General Motors Company (“General Motors”) to MLC’s unsecured creditors as part of MLC’s Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (“Plan”). As previously reported, the Plan became effective on March 31, 2011. MLC today also confirmed it has successfully negotiated the resolution of at least 97 percent, or $284 billion, of the $294 billion in claims that were filed against MLC and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) since they filed for bankruptcy in 2009. The shares and warrants will be distributed to unsecured creditors whose claims have been allowed by the bankruptcy court. For every $1,000 of allowed claims, these unsecured creditors will receive 3.802187 shares, 3.456534 warrants to acquire shares at $10 per share and 3.456534 warrants to acquire shares at $18.33 per share. With respect to holders of MLC notes, bonds and debentures, the distribution ratio is reflective of the number of shares and warrants distributable per $1,000 of allowed claims, not per $1,000 of face value of such notes, bonds and debentures. As such, the distribution ratios to individual bondholders may vary. Bondholder allocations will be posted on the MLC (www.motorsliquidation.com) and the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (the “GUC Trust”) (www.mlcguctrust.com) Websites as soon as practicable prior to the distribution. For more information, creditors should visit www.motorsliquidation.com or www.mlcguctrust.com, or call 1-800-414-9603. “Today’s news marks yet another historic milestone in a case that’s already destined for the history books,” said Al Koch, CEO of MLC and vice chairman of AlixPartners LLP, the turnaround consulting firm that began its work with General Motors in December 2008. “Distributing 75 percent of the securities this quickly is truly a remarkable accomplishment, something that many thought could never be done this fast. Also remarkable is being able to confirm that at least 97 percent of claims in this case have been resolved.” MLC’s Chapter 11 case is one of the largest and most complex bankruptcy cases in U.S. history, and includes the implementation of a unique trust structure that will continue environmental remediation, claims resolution and stock distribution to unsecured creditors. The Plan created four trusts. The GUC Trust is responsible for resolving the outstanding claims of the unsecured creditors of the Debtors and distributing a portion of the shares and warrants owned by MLC to those unsecured creditors whose claims are allowed. MLC currently owns 10 percent of the total issued and outstanding shares, plus warrants that are exercisable for a further 15 percent of the shares on a fully diluted basis. MLC’s interest includes 150 million shares, warrants to acquire 136.4 million shares at $10.00 per share, and warrants to acquire 136.4 million shares at $18.33 per share. While the Plan provides that transferrable units of the GUC Trust may be issued together with the distribution of the shares and the warrants, the conditions required for the issuance of such units were not met, and therefore, the GUC Trust administrator will not issue transferrable GUC Trust units. Holders of allowed general unsecured claims, however, will retain the contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares and warrants if and to the extent that such shares and warrants are not required for the satisfaction of disputed general unsecured claims which are subsequently allowed. In order to successfully negotiate the resolution of at least 97 percent of the $294 billion in claims that were filed against the Debtors, MLC leveraged unique technological solutions provided by AlixPartners in order to manage the treatment of more than 750,000 contracts and the analysis of more than 70,000 claims. This Web-enabled process considerably enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of the undertaking. This was combined with extensive and collaborative negotiations for claims at numerous federal and state EPA Superfund sites. Additionally, the Environmental Response Trust (“ERT”), crafted by MLC in conjunction with federal, state and local regulators, provides $536 million (subject to certain adjustments) for the continuing environmental remediation of remaining properties, for as long as 100 years in some cases. The ERT’s assets will consist of cash, remaining unsold real properties and the equipment that is located at those properties. MLC anticipates that the majority of the environmental remediation contemplated in the ERT should be completed or well underway within five years, and that the ERT will have adequate funding to bring facilities to regulatory closure. A third trust will handle both present and future asbestos-related claims against the Debtors, while a fourth trust will deal with certain litigation-related claims. “Taken in its totality, this case has been like no other before it and perhaps like no other to come,” said Ted Stenger, executive vice president of MLC and managing director of AlixPartners. “An American icon was saved, a possible environmental nightmare of discarded properties was successfully dealt with and now creditors are receiving a substantial initial distribution of General Motors securities.” International law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges has represented MLC in this entire case, including claims management and environmental issues. “This case has required highly complex and in many cases historic legal solutions as well,” said Koch, “and the Weil team delivered them again and again.” About MLC On June 1, 2009, General Motors Corporation and certain subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. An order was entered approving the sale of substantially all of the company’s operating assets to a new and independent company under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and the sale closed on July 10, 2009. On that date, General Motors Corporation changed its name to Motors Liquidation Company.
