Now; because of the .recession, the plug i& being pulled on 80-year-old. money-losing Shands AGH.

Like many U.S. hospital~. Shands . is being squeezed by tight credit, higher borrowing costs, investment losses and a . jump in patients - many recently unemployed or otherwise undennsured - not paying their bills .. All. that has begun to trigger more hospital closings from impoverished Newark, NJ ., to wealthy Beverly l;lills, Calif. - as . well as layoffs, other costcutting and scrapping or delaying building projects. In · Ohio, the prestigious Cleveland Clinic earlier this month started a hiring and salary freeze across its 33,000-worker health system. It' also restricted travel and use of consultants and contractors . Industry consultants predict that more closings and mergers are on the way. "They'll get swallowed up by somebody else , if they need to exist, and if ther, · don't, they'll just close,' said Tuck Crocker, vice ·president of the health care practice at management consultant BearingPoint. Most endangered are rural hospitals and urban ones in areas with excess hospital beds and a lot of poor, uninsured patients. .

All those problems are aggravatin~; long-standing stresses: stmgy reimbursements from commercial insurers, even-lower pay ments that generally don't cover . costs for Medicare and Medicaid patients, and high labor and technology costs .. Hospital executives and consultants say the growing number of people with high-deductible health plans is boosting unpaid patient bills. Many worry health reform efforts by the Obama administration could bring cuts in Medicare reimbursements, and many casbstrappe<l states already have begun cutting payments' for poor people covered by Medicaid. · In the past few months, patients . and insurers have been paying hospital bills more slowly. As a result, some think . hospitals · will start demanding up-front payments for elective pro· cedures : In November, Moody's · Investors Service changed its 12- to 18-mortth outlook · from "stable" to "negative" for nonprofit and for-profit hospitals, citing "pros)?Ccts of a protracted recesswn," bad debt and the credit crunch. "Looking forward , the cost of borrowing will likely be higher - and may be nonexistent for lower-rated hospitals ,".

Since October, there's been "a dramatic slowdown" in plans for new wings and building upgrades, · with many delayed indefinitely, said Paul Keckley of the Deloiue Center for Health Solutions.

PHILADELPHIA Relatives of those who died aboard United Airlines Flight 93 want the Bush Administration to seize the land needed for a memorial where t,he plane crashed in ·.\ · Shanksville, Pa., in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Families of Flight 93 sent a letter earlier this month asking President George W. Bush to empower the Secretary of the Interior to take the land in dispute from a homeowner who had been in negotiations with the National {'arks Service, said Patrick Whit~. vice president of the families' organization. The group says ground must be broken early next year in time for a memorial to be build for the I Oth anni versary of the crash in 20 II. Svonavec Inc . owns one of the last large chunks of land needed for the 2,200acre memorial, including the area where the plane crashed Sept . l I , 200 I. Svonavec 's ireasurer Mike Svonavec has said the park service has not done enough to negotiate a deal. · While said Svonavec has not been willing to negotiate, and called that unac€eptable. . "We've certainly sought to do this within in the process, following protocol as much as we possibly can," White said Saturday. "It has gotten to the point where we fear we 'II lose significant momenium. · "We have an administration that has been very supportive of this effort. We ., ' ' just wanted to make sure the president is aware of what the circumstances are .... We just didn't want to get lost in the shuffle ." In October, the National Park Service said it would use an independent appraiser to determine the value of 275 acres of land needed for the memorial. The NPS' also said it could use eminent domain to acquire the plot if all else fails. . Construction of a $58 million permanent memori,. al and national park is scheduled to begin in 2009. White , whose cousin Louis Nacke II died on Flight 93 , said the group would favor Bush giving the interior secretary. or director of park services the power to take ·the necessary . steps to acquire the land before the administration leaves office in January.' He said the families understand that the outgoing president has plenty to do tn his final weeks in office. But White pledged that the group would carry its fight to the Obama Administration, if needed. "I think the rest of the family members and I feel there is no point at which we will stop," White said. "Whatever it takes . As long as it takes. Whoever it takes. To do anything less would be doing a disservice to those that we love." Flight 93 was en route from Newark , NJ. , to San Francisco on Sept. II, 200 I , when it was diverted by hijackers. The official 9/ II Commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane as passengers tried to wrest control of the cockpit . ' • .. . ... ' . . . .....

PERSPECTIVE Governor wanted quick end to scandal COVINA, Calif. (AP) Joseph and Alicia Ortega came from Mexico and raised a large,loving family supported by the metal pamting business they started in Southern California. The ·remaining members of that family now are in mourning, after a Christmas Eve attack on the Orteg11s' home by the vengeful exhusband of one of their daughters, Sylvia Pardo. Bruce Pardo donned a Santa Claus suit and killed nine members of the Ortega family during the Christmas partY. where. the close-knit farruly gathered each year, before spraying the home with racmg fuel that set it on fire. Pardo later killed himself. · "They really were a great family," said Jose Castillo, Sylvia Pardo's brother-inlaw from an earlier mar. riage, who came to pay his respects Sunday at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac where the Ortegas' two-story home once stood. "They used to be together all the time." Joseph Ortega, 80, and Alicia, 70, had retired about 10 years ago from their business painting metal furniture and other items· in nearby El Monte. The couple immigrated to the United States shortly after their marriage 53 years ago in the Mexican city of Torreon, thai city's newspaper, El Siglo de Torreon, reported Saturday. The family is well-known in the city, where Alicia's sisters are prqminent businesswomen, the newspaper's editorial director Javier Garza told the Los Angeles Times. Sylvia Pardo, 43. had been living at her . parents' home since her divorce from Bruce Pardo, a 45-year-old electrical engineer, about a year ago, Castillo said. Her earlier marriage to Jose Castillo's · brother, Sabino Castillo, ended with Sabino's death in a traffic accident about 20 years ago, when she was pregnant with their youngest of two children.

Bv JuLIE CARR SMYTH · Both children. a 21-yearold daughter and 20-year-old son, had escaped unharmed from the party where Bruce Pardo opened fire . The slaughter ~came six days after Bruce and Sylvia Pardo appeared in court to finalize their divorce. Police believe the dead included Sylvia Pardo's two brothers and their wives, her sister and a 17-year·old nephew, as well as her parents. · Police listed the victims as unaccounted for because coroner's officials said the nine bodies were too badly charred for immediate identification. Bruce Pardo had planned to flee \O Canada following the killing spree but suffered third-degree bums in the fire - · which melted part of the Santa suit to him - and decided to kill himself instead, investigators said. His body, with a bullet wound to the head, was found at his brother's home about 40 miles away. The renled compac.t car he had driven to his former inlaws house was rigged to set off 500 rounds of ammunition and later exploded outside his brother's home. No one was in/·ured. Police a so found a second car rented by Pardo late Saturday, but a bomb SCJ,Uad did not find any explos1ves in t)lat vehic.le.lnvestigators did find a canister of gasoline, water bottles, wrapped Christmas presents, two co~J?Uters , and a map of Mex1co , police said. On Sunday, a stream of visitors drove by to look at the blackened heap of twisted metal and shards of timber that remain of the family home .

Most players who and a deal grumbling tha1they were unlucky in fact either mls· played or misdefended. In this deal, though, what you may say depends on your contract. How would you play in siK no-trump or seven no·trump after a spade lead? The auction was straigh~rward and quantitative. Remember, when you have a bala(lced hand with the appropriate count, open in no-trump. Do not worry about a weak su~. You star1 With 11 top tricks: two spades, three hear1s. three diamonds and three qlubs. Six no-trump is gUaranteed whatever the layout. If either nilnor is running {the .missing cards are dividing 3-2, or the jack Is singiBton, or East has four or five to the ·jack), you get your 12th trick in that suit. Here, though, you need an endplay. After cashing dummy's two top dia· mends and two top dubs to get the bad news, take your major-suit trttks, reduc· ing everyone to four cards. You have the aca-10 of diamonds and klng-10 of clubs. West has iacif.--double1on in each ol these su~s. Cash, say, the diamond ace and continue with the diamond 10. West must then lead emav from his Jack~ nine of clubs into your king-10. In seven no-trump, you need both minor suits to run. Cash dummy's twO tOps in one minor. If both opponents fol!ow (the suit has divided 3-2) or West discards (you can finesse through East on the third round), you have tour trk:ks In that suit. Then you repeat the procedure in the other ri'linor.

He ·, said that information should be available by the time commissioners meet tomorrow. Last year at this time; commissioners · approved $3.79 million for 2008 general fund expenditures this year. Those · appropriations included a carryover· of $486.000 . Davenport said this year's carryover is expected to be less than last year's due to · the higher cost of operating the county government. He said he has been "running scenarios" to determine how funds will be appropriated, based on a number of possible carryover balances . Each year, commissioners must appropriate funds into county departments - primary courthouse operations - for the new year's operations. Those appropriations are based on anticipated revenue from inside and · voted ·real estate tax mill- age, interest on investments and the carryover from the previous year, as estimated by the county auditor, treasurer and. prosecuting attorney, who make up the county budget commission. The carryover is particularly important to the process, because it is used to pay general fund operating expenses early in the year, until 2009 revenue comes in. Those expenses include payroll for those Open today course after their latest losing season.

COLUMBUS The Ohio , Environmental Protection .Agency has released answers to formal questions askei:l by residents concerning Gatling, Ohio's permit applications for its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and waster water (permit-to-install) permits. The Ohio EPA approved the permits on Pee . 10. and · approved Gatlinft's "preferred alternatives ' present· ed at last month's public hearing. However, the preferred alternatives don't permit violations of existing water quality standards that protect human health and the environment. Ohio EPA addressed official comments by Elisa Young and Albert Proffitt of Racine . Proffitt asked if it was possible for Gatling to recycle the water they intend to discharge? The official answer for the Ohio EPA: "The water they intend to discharge is storm water · which comes in contact with coal and refuse piles . The coal preparation plant process water loop is designed as a recycle loop. Makeup water is often added to the process water loop, and utilizing storm water from the sedimentation ponds as makeup is a common industry practice. The applicant has stated that this practice will likely be · employed at the Yellowbush · mine. In order to recycle all the contact storm water from the site , the mine would need to design for large detention ponds to hold all the water through rainy months without requiring a discharge. The site is limited for · design of this feature without encroaching into floodways and impacting upstream flood areas." Proffitt also asked: "What ensures that my adjacent upstream property w11l not be affected by the new mine from flooding and water · contammallon?" The Ohio EPA response: "The I00 year flood elevation at the locatioll of the coal preparation facility is approximately 5&3 feet.. . The finished floor elevation of the thickener and plant is designed at 585 .... the prepped coal pile pad is above 583 feet and the refuse· cell alld raw coal pile are elevated even higher. Some of the sedimentktion ponds are located in areas prone to inundation during flood events and may be breached ."
