|Sears 6.75 hp lawnmower starts then dies?
This is a Craftsman model 944.368300 with a Tecumseh engine (Sears #143.986708). This mower has worked perfectly for years, but recently just stopped working as it should. It starts but dies within seconds. I've replaced the gas, carburetor, spark plug, air filter, primer bulb and all the hoses and still the problem persists. What's odd is that it ran fine one week, but when it was time to cut the grass again, no dice.
Does anyone have any idea what the devil is wrong with this thing? I'm stumped!
Follow-Up Postings:
|2 things come to mind since apparently you have replaced the carb . Does it wet the spark plug ? if not then fuel filter or line is restricted . Next check for spark as soon as it dies , it may have a bad coil . Last but not least , sometimes just the gas cap if vented may be restricted give it a check or simply remove when it begins to die and see if there is any difference .

|When I get it started and keep pressing the primer bulb, it stays running so it's a problem with not getting enough gas. The confusing thing is, I've replaced everything I can think of.
There is no fuel filter. It's a direct line from the gas tank to the carb. Gas cap isn't the problem either because I've removed it before starting it and it still dies.
As for the coil, if it were bad, then it wouldn't start to begin with, so I don't think that's it either.
|If you manually pressing the primer and the engine continues to run then fuel starvation "IS" your problem . Even though you have apparently replaced the carb fouling with ethanol fuel for any extended period over 2- 3 weeks can cause a problem . Concentrated fuel clean 2 ounces within fresh fuel may help . As for the coil , often they fail when the engine is up to temp . Once cold the engine will start but falter within a few minutes . I think you have gum or residue within you fuel circuits since you have pretty well ruled every thing else out . Let us know how you make out .
|You have to take out the brass 'bolt' holding the fuel bowl on the carb. Tilt the mower up on it's wheels, carb high. Remove the bolt - the bowl will probably stay on and no fuel should come out. The 'bolt' is the metering orifice. Clean out the holes in it and pay particular attention to the tiny bleed at the top of the threads - strip the paper off a wire tie and use this to rod it out. Blast it all out with carb cleaner spray and put it back in. Set mower back down and it should now run. Use a fuel stabilizer/cleaner to prevent this in the future, or just figure on doing it as part of end-of-season maintenance.

|Thanks guys. I will take your suggestions and follow them through. Saxman1, there is no bolt on this carb in the way you are referring to. Do an Ebay search for 640020 and you will see my carb.

|I've never seen a carb like the 640020 you have.
Lokking at pictures from Ebay listings it looks very cheaply made.
Did you buy the new replacement carb on Ebay and install it yourself? Even new carbs are sometimes defective.
The bowl is secured by a clip rather than the conventional bolt. I suspect your problem may possibly be the float being out of adjustment, or sticking, and not permitting enough fiel to enter.
I would remove the carb intact from the mower and check the float settings. Removing the bowl with the mower in the upright position will cause the float to fall out. You will need to find the specs for the carb model to learn what the correct float setting is.

|Follow Up:
Sorry for the two typo's on my previous post, lokking instead of LOOKING, and fiel instead of FUEL. Another brain fart on my part.
The Ebay link also doesn't work. Below are links that shows the carb, hopefully they will work.
New Carb (640020B)
Used Carb (640020B)
I was wrong, the float needle CANNOT be adjusted on this carb. Below is a link for some helpful information on rebuilding the carb.
|Thank the environmentalists.
I just had the same issue. It resulted in buying a new carburetor. Replaced everything in the mower before doing so. As soon as the new carburetor was installed, the mower ran perfectly. For one use. I didn't run the tank dry.
Two weeks later when I attempted to use it again, it was back to 5 seconds and dead. Put some seafoam in the tank--still 5 seconds and dead. Removed, and cleaned the (brand new, used only once) carburetor, which had "gunk" from its ONE use. Thanks ethanol.
From now on, will put only enough gas in the tank to mow once, and will make sure to run the engine dry each time. Yuck.

|I have the same problem with mine. Craftsman mower w/tecumseh 6.75 hp Vector engine.Did the same as the others on here. New sparkplug, air filter, bottom half of the carb, new primer bulb. Started right up and seemed fine. Ran it for about a minute. Went back out about an hour later. Back to the same problem. Starts for a few seconds then dies. Did anyone find the answer to this problem?
|Well, I think i have the answer! Find a deep pond, or lake, and toss the whole mess into it! Then go buy a new mower!
Thoe carbs can (maybe,sometimes, infrequently,) can be rebuilt, by buying the whole new bottom part. I bought one. My success was very limited, as i tossed the whole machine on the scrap pile, and gave up!

|ya I have a new husqvarna AWD on order. It should be here next friday. But my father-in law needs a mower and I was hoping to give him this one. It wasn't used much and I changed the oil and air filter frequently. It should be good for a long time. I noticed the inside of the fuel line looks like it is deteriorating. I wonder if bits of rubber are getting into the seat or jet. I am going to flush the carb and install a new fuel line. I hope that does it. I asked at a shop that repairs small engines. They have at least 20 lawn mowers lined up to work on at any given time. He said that if people would put seafoam in all the fuel used in there mowers he would be out of a job. He said One ounce per gallon in all the fuel used. He pulls carbs apart all the time with goo in all the small parts. I will definitely do this in the new husqvarna. Not sure if this would have helped the tecumseh. But there was goo in the old bowl.
|it may seem obvious.....but.....the carburetor intake flap must be opened for air....oxygen....to flow.....i virtually banged my head doing the same thing......third time is always a charm...i noticed the positioning....or lack of....adjusted...and....Voila!....started right up.

|I wished that Tecumseh still made the LEV120 engine. I have one on a 2004 Lawnboy that it still running great. I love how they have an oil pump.
Your problem sounds as if the fuel filter screen in the fuel tank may be clogged and not allowing enough fuel to reach the carb.
Otherwise sounds like water in the float bowl or one of the carbs jets. But you stated that you installed a new carb.

|If you lawnmower just stops, I bet the little jet is clogged. Easy and fast to fix.

ugghhhes probably out with his friends right now.. he hasnt been online all day. im so worried that hes out with a bunch of girls just to get back at be cuz hes "free" or something. he broke up with me because he said i was too controlling about him hanging out with other girls, and the other night he said he was "free" now.. god dammit. and i know that he wouldnt tell me if anything happens, because according to him, its none of my business. and like.. i dunno. im not worried about him being out with girls.. just like.. im worried that he'd just be out with them to get back at me. he said that he was gonna stop treating me like shit and start respecting me as a person and stuff. im not assuming that hes out with girls or anything, but if he was,, that be pretty weird of him considering that he just dumped me over it, and it would really seem like hes getting back at me.. which would be totally out of hand..i dunno.. for all i know hes out with some guys. who knows. all i know is that he doesnt give 2 shits about me anymore, and could care less if i was crying over him. i feel so detached from him.. not just because he dumped me, but because he doesnt love me. i feel like theres nothing at all anymore. and now im crying. god dammit. why did he have to do this to me. why couldnt he just stick it out like he always did. why did he stop loving me. why does he hate me so much. i cant take this. i cant stand for us to be like this. we were so close, and we had such a connection, and such strong love, and he said i was special to him and he loved me more than he ever loved anyone else before. but now he gives up. i guess im not so special anymore. now im just some pathetic girl chasing after him. but of course, im not cool enough for him i guess. im not nice enough. im not "sane" enough. maybe hes not sane enough to get attached to someone for more than a matter of months.and after all this, i still love him, and i still want him back. and after everything ive given him, he doesnt love me. i remember the first time that he broke up wth me he called back and said "i cant stay mad at you. i love you.".. what happened to that love and devotion and companionship? i dont know. but i sure want to know.i miss him so much. and im so hurt. and depressed. and im scared.i dont know what im going to do-emilie
well so far so good today. i havent cried yet. i know i will though. heh. it still shocks me how he doesnt love me. he loved me on monday, but not yesterday. i didnt change. ive been the same person. i guess hes just a confused asshole who doesnt know what he wants. and he fucking lets the pride of dumping me go to his head and acts like he can talk down to me and say the meanest shit EVER to me because he thinks i deserve it. well i dont deserve it. i did everything for him. i gave him everything. i bought him shit. i was a good girlfriend. not good enough for chris ribeiro i guess. right now, the only thing that ive thought about thats making me cry/want to cry is that hes gonna get with someone else. hes gonna go hook up.. hes gonna go to prom and all this shit.. and hes gonna have some romantic evening with some other girl.. stay overnight for prom weekend.. fuck her. yeah he'd fuck her. and he wouldnt think about me. hes never gonna think about me again. hes never gonna look back on me and miss me. after everything. hes not gonna think of me. i dont get him.anyways now that im starting to cry for the first time today.. im gonna stop writing about him. school wasnt anything special, mr moore read the interview i wrote for his class out loud.. it was really funny.. umm.. yeah now im just chillin out. i have drums at 5:00.. going to the grocery store after. i need a shower bad.. hah. ok well im gonna go now that im all pissed off and chris isnt online so i bet hes out with some girls just to show me that he can do anything he wants now and hes taking advantage of the fact that hes "free" and happy. fucking asshole. i never thought hed be like that if we broke up, but he is. i thought i meant mkore than that to him but i guess im just another bitch.
hmm well i guess i posted this before but he said that i mean nothing to him. he said it. he meant it. we made a deal though. im gonna stop asking him questions about everything. and hes gonna stop being a fucking asshole to me. its bad enough that he dumped me cruely in the first place, but then he has to be a fucking asshole about it too. by telling me that i mean absolutely NOTHING to him... and all this shit. he says he wants to be friends? but friends mean something one another. they mean A LOT to one another. i dont get him. he calls ME crazy? i HONESTLY think that there is something wrong with him too. well now i dont know what im gonna do. hes over me.. and im still lying here crying over him. and the sad thing is he doesnt care. he says that he doesnt want another relationship for a while.. but that probably means that he'll just go hooking up with people.. which will hurt me more than if he were in a relationship. i just dont want him to have sex with anyone else... we were so special to one another.. and now im nothing to him.. now im crying again so im gonna stop writing. i really dont have a lot else to write that i havent written over and over and over.-emilie
well its all overand it was the most painful thing thats ever happened to mehe hates me. he doesnt love me. he wants nothing to do with me. hes not gonna miss me.. or miss seeing me. yeah.. he said it. and he wants me out of his life. yeah.. he said that too. after 7 months of love this is what he turns intohe hates me. he doesnt want anything to do with me. he doesnt love me.all over a fight.why do i still love him?dont ask mewhy do i still want to be with him more than anythingdont ask mewhy does he hate medont ask megod dammit. this sucks. and now i bet hes gonna go get with some other girl in a week or two because hes already over me. that would hurt me more than anything in the worldwhy couldnt my dad just take me to chicago.. i need to get out of here. i cant do it..and the sad thing is.. hes never gonna want me or miss me ever againi guess its just "weights being lifted off his shoulder" as he would put itChris Ribeiro <3 4/29/03-11/17/03 <3ill miss you so
well today was sort of interesting. i think i have like 3 detentions now. hah. ill get to that later. umm i wonke up at like 6:30 and cried in bed till like 7:15. then i went to school. i cried before school and krystina was hugging me to comfort me. that was really nice of her. shes a good friend. umm i stared crying a few times during some of my classes, but nothing that i could let anyone see... and then in bio i didnt have my 3 houshold liquids for my lab so i think hes giving me detention for that (detention number 1). and umm then in german.. after lunch.. the russian kid sprayed us with lysol again so me, morgan, and melissa FINALLY went to mr. sorrentino about him and he didnt really get in trouble. but he needed to get yelled at because frau is a fucking irresponsible bitch who wont take control of her fucking classroom. and umm.. yeah.. so then we were all late for english and missed a quiz so we have to go after school to make it up some time next week. (detention number 2?).. and then in mr. moores class 7th period i was late because i went to the nurse cuz i felt like shit (not just emotionally but i feel like i have a head cold or something. probably just allergies). then i threw a note to sam and he saw and i think hes writing me up for a central office detention (detention number 3). umm yeah..ok well now heres 2 things that i read today that made me think about so much shit and where i went wrong.. well the poem from my english book just reminded me of him for some reason so i wrote it down.. and the other is a wedding vow read in the book im reading for lit a&e.."In the Plaza We Walk"by Nephtalí De LeónIn the plaza we walkunder the Mexican moonfull of tangerine smells.A cart pulls overfull of fruitfull of the moon and the lonely star.So we buy twobut he says "three for a peso" but we buy two.Tangerines peeled we walk hand in hand spitting the seeds for future tangerines and more lovers to be.In the plaza we walk under tangerine moons."You can make it new every day as you strive to know one another in the Christian sense of knowing the whole person--body, mind, and spirit. I know you will respect the solitude of each other, the right to be a person without being completely dependant on each other. It was never intended that closeness means domination, or the 'right' to pry. Willingly may you share and grow in the unfolding love of two people with God's spirit within and around you." (Like Normal People, Robert Meyers, page 13, paragraph 6)yeah.. that last excerpt from Like Normal People is a little religious for me.. but its wedding vows. but jesus i read that and i realized everything. and i realized everything i did wrong. and like.. i dunno.. nothing ever got across to me like that before its crazy...i know im pathetic and all by writing this but they really struck something in me..ok now that ive made an ass of myself im gonna go.-emilie

London-based pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to plead guilty and to pay $3 billion to resolve its criminal and civil liability arising from what the Department of Justice called the company's unlawful promotion of certain prescription drugs, its failure to report certain safety data, and its civil liability for alleged false price reporting practices, DOJ announced July 2.
The resolution is the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history and the largest payment ever by a drug company, DOJ said. GSK announced in November 2011 that had reached an agreement in principle with the government and would pay $3 billion (214 HCDR, 11/4/11).
As part of the resolution, GSK agreed to plead guilty to a three-count criminal information under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, including two counts of introducing misbranded drugs, Paxil and Wellbutrin (both of which are approved for treating depression), into interstate commerce and one count of failing to report safety data about the diabetes drug Avandia to the Food and Drug Administration.
GSK also is paying $2 billion to resolve its civil liabilities with the federal government under the False Claims Act, as well as with the states, DOJ said.
The civil settlement resolves claims relating to Paxil, Wellbutrin, and Avandia, as well as additional drugs, and also resolves pricing fraud allegations, the government said.
As part of the global resolution, GSK agreed to resolve its civil liability for the following alleged conduct:
An attorney for whistleblowers in the case said the corporate integrity agreement breaks new ground by allowing the use of "clawbacks" to recoup executive compensation, which is a "new pressure point about personal responsibility."
Under GSK's agreement with HHS OIG, the drug company will refrain from rewarding or disciplining its pharmaceutical sales representatives "based upon the volume of sales of [the company's] products" within the representative's territory. GSK will use its existing Patient First program, which it implemented in July 2011, to evaluate employees. The agreement also contains a "financial recoupment program" that subjects an executive who is discovered to have been involved in "significant misconduct" to forfeiting up to three years of bonuses or other "long term incentives."
Mary Anne Rhyne, GSK's director of US Media Relations, told BNA July 2 that the Patient First program "is not new. This is one of the certain fundamental changes to our procedures for compliance, marketing and selling in the [United States] that we have made to meet society's expectations and to ensure that we operate with high standards of integrity and that we conduct our business openly and transparently."
"We implemented this new incentive compensation system for our professional sales representatives who work directly with health care professionals," Rhyne added.
"The new system eliminates individual sales targets for these representatives as a basis for bonuses, and instead bases incentive compensation primarily on sales competency, customer evaluations and the overall performance of their business unit," Rhyne said.
Kevin Colgan, spokesman for GSK, told BNA July 2 that Patient First uses "robust methodology" to evaluate employees. Colgan added that Patient First is "proprietary" to GSK and thus could not provide additional information.
Erika A. Kelton, an attorney with Phillips & Cohen LLP, Washington, who represents two of three whistleblowers who brought claims against GSK, told BNA July 2 that the corporate integrity agreement breaks new ground by allowing the use of "clawbacks" to recoup executive compensation, which is a "new pressure point about personal responsibility."
Aside from GSK's guilty plea to the three-count criminal information, the claims settled by these agreements are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability, DOJ said.
In November 2011, Merck agreed to pay $950 million to resolve criminal charges and civil claims related to the promotion of the discontinued painkiller Vioxx (226 HCDR, 11/23/11).
In October 2011, Abbott Laboratories disclosed in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it has set aside $1.5 billion in litigation reserves in connection with a DOJ inquiry into the possible off-label marketing of its anti-seizure medication Depakote.
And in 2009, drug giant Pfizer Inc. paid $2.3 billion to the federal government--the largest amount at the time in a health care settlement--for illegally marketing the anti-inflammatory drug Bextra and three other drugs for uses that FDA had not approved. Pfizer's 2009 deal involved payment of a $1.2 billion criminal fine and resolution of civil False Claims Act allegations (169 HCDR, 9/3/09).
Also in 2009, Eli Lilly and Co. agreed to pay more than $1.4 billion to resolve criminal and civil allegations that it promoted its antipsychotic drug Zyprexa for off-label uses (10 HCDR, 1/16/09).
Wolfe said, "The industry is therefore tacitly encouraged to continue its illegal activity." He added, "Until more meaningful penalties and the prospect of jail time for company heads who are responsible for such activity become commonplace, companies will continue defrauding the government and putting patients' lives in danger."
According to settlement documents, GSK is represented by Goeffrey Hobart and Matthew O'Connor, with Covington & Burling LLP, in Washington.

Two New Projects from Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Since I recently began sharing some of my writing over at Patheos, I've become acquainted with a few of my fellow Catholic bloggers there, including Fr. Dwight Longenecker. Fr. Longenecker has a fascinating bio and manages to keep up with his vocation as a parish priest while actively publishing books, blogging, and speaking on topics of great importance for Catholics. I wanted to bring you up to date on a few of his recent projects:
- Faithworks – Fr Longenecker has a new, free, weekly newsletter called FaithWorks! Short articles on the practical practice of the Catholic faith. Just right for busy parents to get a short bite of inspiration. Check out the latest issue and sign up here.
- Catholicism Pure and Simple — While I haven't yet had the chance to personally read this book, it looks like a terrific resource for anyone looking to learn more about our Catholic faith or to share the faith with others during this Year of Faith. Amazon says of the book:"Starting with arguments for the existence of God, this book takes the reader step by step through the basics of the Catholic faith. Without using churchy language, difficult theological concepts or confusing arguments Dwight Longenecker explains not only the truths of the faith, but how to embark on the adventure of living the Catholic faith today. He uses plain illustrations from ordinary life, and explains the faith without complex footnotes or intimidating references. Catholicism Pure & Simple is perfect for high school students, confirmation candidates, members of RCIA classes and anyone seriously seeking God in the modern world."
I invite you to check out both resources. You'll find Fr. Longenecker blogging daily at Standing On My Head.

Thank you for sharing this!
Fr. Longenecker's book Praying the Rosary for Inner Healing is one of my absolute favorite books! I find his writing and insight to be truly a gift that he has been given and thus gives to others. I've signed up for his newsletter and look forward to his work as part of my Year of Faith blessings!

Expansion Projects
Paul Bunyan Communications became one of the first telecommunication companies in the country to build a brand new network into a previously monopoly regulated environment. It started in 1999 with construction in the Bemidji area and since that time we have built out the entire Bemidji telephone exchange, all areas within the cities of Cohasset, Grand Rapids, and LaPrairie, along with areas including Lake George, Cass Lake, and many townships near those municipalities.
Expansion Plans
Trout Lake Township
Paul Bunyan Communications will be expanding its all-fiber optic communications network into the Trout Lake Township east of Grand Rapids and LaPrairie this year.
Where we expand will be based on the costs involved and level of demand for our services in each individual neighborhood/area of the township.
Further expansion in the rural areas around Grand Rapids is expected in 2015.
Rural Park Rapids
Paul Bunyan Communications will continue to expand the all fiber optic network in rural Park Rapids with construction in two areas outside of city limits that can potentially reach over 270 locations.
Locations included in this year's expansion will be mailed more information prior to construction reaching the area.
We will continue surveying rural areas outside of the city of Park Rapids to determine where there is enough interest to expand our all-fiber optic network even further in 2015.
The 2015 expansion survey areas include the area northwest of Two Inlets (Boot and Mud Lake) along with the area south of city limits to Blueberry Bridge Drive and as far east as 3rd Crow Wing Lake/Island Lake. This survey area does NOT include the City of Park Rapids or the City of Nevis.
If you did not receive a survey and would like to find out if your specific location is in our 2015 survey area, please contact our offices toll free at 888-586-3100.
Based on the survey results, specific areas of expansion will be determined in May/June, 2015.

I believe the Pacific Coast League to be an untapped well of promising young pitchers. The theory I came up with goes something like this. If the PCL drastically inflates hitters stats (you may recall Eric Aybar was the next A-rod and Jeff Clement was Seattle's Mike Piazza) then it must mask quality pitching talent.
Proof? A favorite of mine over the past three seasons: Doug Fister. He came up through the PCL with flat pedestrian numbers. The only real skill was good control. Jordan Lyles is another one to watch. He survived a brief rise through the PCL and has logged 235 very mediocre innings in the Bigs. But he did all that to the tune of a 2.44 BB/K rate before he turned 22. His peers are still in AA. So if a command and control type can survive getting their brains bashed in a pure hitters environment they might do OK in the majors. The fantasy baseball angle is that we should be scouring the PCL for undervalued quality starters.
John Ely, HOU – Ely came up through the Dodgers' system and has logged a ton of innings for the 'Topes in Albuquerque. The Astros picked him up in the offseason, so one would assume he'll start right away. In 168 innings at AAA last year he had thoroughly mediocre surface numbers but a 4.58 K/BB ratio and .96 HR/9. His fastball hits 90 when he has a breeze at his back but he does have a potentially potent mix of cutters and change ups. He turns 27 early in the 2013 season but "late bloom" seems to be the hallmark of guys with this type of profile.
Rob Scahill, COL – Unfortunately Scahill won't get the normal bump when he reaches the majors. He had better than 9 Ks per 9 last season but questionable control led to a K/BB rate that was just barely over the serviceable 2/1 barrier. The sexy thing about Scahill is the 95 mph fastball. He'll turn 26 next month but one would hope age gets him one step closer to putting it all together.
Tom Koehler, FL – His 8.3 K/9 is nice but not great and his control could be better. His fastball can tickle 94 mph and he does poses a cutter so there's something to work with here. Although New Orleans isn't as brutal as some parks in the PCL a call to Miami will be an improvement. He'll turn 27 mid-season and looked alright in a cup of coffee last year that mostly consisted of relief work. He'll be interesting if he can land a job.
Tyler Lyons, STL – At 25 he's a pup compared to the others on this list. Lyons tossed 3 complete games across only 88 innings of work and had a BB/K rate close to 5. He's a lefty with potential to eat innings so a rotation gig may be around the corner.
Yusmeiro Petit, SF – It seems like he's been around forever. I'm not a fan of his 87-88 mph fastball but in the PCL last year he had an eye popping 7.71 K/BB. His upside might be something like vintage Jamie Moyer. That's a backhanded compliment at best, but he's worth keeping tabs on.
Eric Hacker, SF – Like Petit, Hacker is another Fresno product who has been toiling in the minors for more than a decade. He's not a big time strikeout pitcher but does meet the minimum 2+/1 K/BB requisite. Hacker is worth a second look because in brief stints in the majors he's shown the ability to generate better than 50% GBs. He throws a big slow curve 25% which looks like his money pitch. With enough injuries he could see some starts for the Giants and they're know for tasty matchups from time to time.
None of these guys are reach picks and if you're in shallow leagues, they're not for you. Follow them in the spring and think end game in only formats and deep leagues. One or two could make for a nice spot starter in 2013 and every now and then one may pop and become the next Doug Fister.

Mission critical
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Mission-critical)
For the computer adventure/strategy game, see Mission Critical (video game).
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
Mission critical refers to any factor of a system (equipment, process, procedure, software, etc.) whose failure will result in the failure of business operations. That is, it is critical to the organization's "mission."[1]
As a rule in crisis management, if a triage-type decision is made in which certain components must be eliminated or delayed, e.g. because of resource or personnel constraints, the mission critical ones must not be among them.

Priority Club Rewards announced an official relaunch today. I received an email at 6:56am California time stating the press release was under embargo until 10am ET.
I started downloading the 179MB file with excitement at the possibilities of new changes and my head whirling with anticipation of what might be major changes to the hotel loyalty program for InterContinental Hotels Group.
After several minutes the large file had completed its download and I eagerly opened the folder to see four documents.
"What's New" caught my eye and I opened the file to reveal large red bold font:
UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 10 a.m. ET TUES., MARCH 29, 2011
I scrolled down the page and my excitement balloon deflated. There is nothing bad in the changes, but there is also nothing really substantial in the program changes with the exception of a new reward option for "Last Minute Reward Nights".
Last Minute Reward Nights: A hotel industry first, "Last Minute Reward Nights" will allow Priority Club members globally to redeem Reward Nights at a 50% discount off the regular point price, for selected properties. Members will receive an e-mail on Monday providing a list of hotels where this offer will be available the following weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Initially, this program will be offered on the first full weekend of every month, starting with May 6, 7 and 8, 2011.
Last Minute Reward Nights looks like a nice program enhancement, but a minimal change to Priority Club Rewards. Although, the timing for the introduction of "Last Minute Reward Nights" in the first week of May has me wondering if the current list of Point Breaks hotels for 5,000 points per night through April 30 will be the last set of hotels we see for the PointBreaks reward option?
Here are the other three changes listed in the "What's New" press release:
Points & Cash for Merchandise Rewards: Also a hotel industry first, Priority Club members in the U.S. will be able to redeem a combination of Priority Club points and cash for brand name retail merchandise rewards. Priority Club Rewards currently offers points and cash capability on Reward Nights, but this will expand that functionality to merchandise rewards, a feature not offered anywhere in the industry. The program will roll out globally beginning late 2011.
"Lucky Points" Sweepstakes: This feature will give members based in the US, Canada, and UK the chance to turn their extra points into great rewards. Members will be able to redeem a very small quantity of Priority Club points (e.g., 100 or 200 points per entry) in exchange for a chance to win the prize or prizes that are most appealing to them. Typically, members will have 6-8 different prize draws to select from, ranging from terrific hotel packages (e.g. 4 nights at the InterContinental Times Square- New York) to popular merchandise (e.g., iPads), and even 1 million Priority Club points! Priority Club Rewards will be the only travel loyalty program to offer members this chance to turn a single stay into a huge prize! The program will roll out in China and Japan beginning fall 2011.
Downloadable Media Rewards: Priority Club Rewards will be the first travel loyalty program to give members the flexibility to redeem their points directly for downloadable media, including the latest music hits and millions of other songs, plus eBooks, mobile games and applications, and computer software. This will open up a terrific opportunity for members to turn relatively small quantities of points into tangible rewards. The program will initially rollout online in English globally and in several European languages beginning late 2011.
Reading through the documents, I see that nearly all the hype is cosmetic changes with a new Priority Club logo, redesigned Priority Club membership cards, website and photos.
Loyalty Traveler Commentary on Priority Club Relaunch:
Priority Club Relaunch press release states the program undertook extensive research "to better understand the attitudes and habits of hotel guests."
Priority Club Findings:
Among the top trends identified by Priority Club Rewards (bullet point paragraphs):
Loyalty Traveler comment: The high fees associated with award travel made the frequent flier game much more expensive in the past ten years. Hotel program points are much easier to redeem.
Loyalty Traveler comment: I frequently state that anyone staying 20 or more nights per year in hotels will likely get much higher value from hotel stays by focusing on one hotel loyalty program and earning elite status. The value-added benefits of elite membership with complimentary internet, breakfast and room upgrades makes elite an economical solution to mitigate the high cost of hotels.
Unfortunately, IHG Priority Club has the weakest elite benefits along with the easiest elite qualification requirements of the major hotel loyalty programs. Earning 60,000 points in Priority Club for Platinum elite can be accomplished for under $1,000 in hotel stays by someone who works the Priority Club promotions with that goal in mind.
InterContinental Ambassador is a fee-based status with benefits for InterContinental Hotels, but Ambassador membership is of little benefit for Priority Club frequent guests who spend 99% of their hotel stays in IHG's other hotel brands.
Loyalty Traveler comment: I find this statement about the value of loyalty points intriguing. At the same time Hilton is pushing a campaign to move "Beyond Points", IHG research indicates points are the most desirable aspect of hotel loyalty programs.
The value of points as a frequent guest priority has me asking: Why does Priority Club not offer discounts on extended stays using points like HHonors, Marriott Rewards and SPG discount extended stays?
The cost of reward nights when correlated to the base earn rate for points from hotel stays is fairly comparable across the different programs until extended stays are considered. Marriott and SPG offer a 20% discount on points required for a 5-night stay. Hilton offers 15% off 4-night stays, 20% off 5-night stays and 25% off stays of 6 nights or more.
For example, Marriott Category 8 is 40,000 points and InterContinental high-tier reward night is 40,000 points. Both programs have the same earn rate at 10 points per dollar for most hotel brands. Marriott has a 5 th night free for 160,000 points needed on a 5-night reward stay. Priority Club has no extended stay discount and charges 200,000 points for a 5-night reward stay.
InterContinental Hotels is still the odd brand out
InterContinental Hotels earn rate of 2,000 points per stay tends to undercut the acquisition of points with this hotel brand. For example, a four night stay at a $200 per night InterContinental Hotel earns just 2,000 points whereas the same $800 total spend at a Crowne Plaza earns 8,000 points.
Priority Club research indicates points are the top priority of frequent guests, yet Priority Club shortchanges the points earned from most guest stays at InterContinental Hotels.
Loyalty Traveler comment: Any reader of my blog soon realizes that this loyalty traveler places a cash value equivalent on points for future hotel stays. I would not trade my points for the low value of gas cards.
38,000 points for a $100 gift card = $2.63 per 1,000 points redemption value.
My hotel stay redemptions average $10+ per 1,000 points.
Leading with this valuable consumer insight, the re-launched Priority Club Rewards loyalty program is now better equipped to meet the needs of the changing frequent traveler and continues to be a key business driver for IHG. Priority Club Rewards will further empower frequent guests through an easy and efficient point-focused program that provides access to non-hotel travel related services, discount and high-end retail merchandise and gift vouchers, exclusive life experiences, and of course IHG's more than 4,400 hotels worldwide.
Loyalty Traveler comment: Priority Club has added one new hotel-focused redemption option with the relaunch. The addition of low value non-hotel redemption options for music downloads and Points & Cash retail options is not the outcome I expected for an efficient point-focused program.
Consumer options for spending points are a good thing to add, but the points-focus of a hotel loyalty program in my opinion should be the addition of more hotel redemption options for the frequent guest.
If Hilton HHonors is moving its hotel loyalty program "beyond points", then I think this press release for the Priority Club relaunch indicates Priority Club is primarily moving points "beyond hotels".

Biotech Stock Mailbag: Most Important Events for 2012
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Happy holidays and welcome to the last Biotech Stock Mailbag of 2011. Let's look ahead to see what our little corner of the investing world has in store for us in 2012.
Howard M. writes: "Adam. Thanks for all you do, especially the live blogs which are great. What are you looking at when it comes to biotech stocks in 2012?"
I'm just wrapping my head around 2012 now and will certainly have more to say in January after I spend a week in San Francisco immersed in biotech at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference (Jan. 9-12). Stay tuned for wall-to-wall coverage.
Like in previous years, the release of clinical results from phase III and selected phase II studies in 2012 will probably produce the most significant volatility in biotech stock prices.Meaningful clinical trials results in 2012 to start thinking about now include two phase III studies of cancer immunotherapies, or "vaccines." These are Oncothyreon's (ONTY) Stimuvax in non-small cell lung cancer (data in first quarter) and Vical's (VICL) Allovectin in melanoma (data mid-year.) I've already predicted failure for both but obviously plenty of people disagree and believe one or both of these therapies will succeed. Differences of opinion are what makes markets. Keryx Pharmaceuticals (KERX) is expecting phase III data on perifosine in colon cancer in the first quarter. The outcome of the study will also affect the value of Aeterna Zentaris (AEZS) because it owns ex-U.S. rights to the drug. (Again, I'm bearish here.) Alzheimer's disease returns to Wall Street in 2012 with data likely from phase III studies of Eli Lilly's (LLY) solanezumab and Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) bapineuzumab. ( Pfizer (PFE) and Elan (ELN) also have financial interests in bapineuzumab.) Celgene (CELG): Phase III studies of oral apremilast in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis due in the second half of the year. In Europe, Celgene is awaiting a very important decision from regulators about front-line approval for the multiple myeloma drug Revlimid. Gilead Sciences (GILD) will find out if its $11 billion acquisition of Pharmasset (VRUS) was worth it with results from several studies of Pharmasset's lead hepatitis C drug PSI-7977 expected in 2012. Looking at phase II studies, I'd pay attention to Threshold Pharmaceuticals (THLD) and its mid-stage study of TH-302 in pancreatic cancer. Results expected mid-to-late February. Celldex Therapeutics (CLDX) will have data from a phase II study of CDX-011 in breast cancer ready in the first half of the year.

The California Highway Patrol is announcing a 24 hour "Zero Tolerance" enforcement campaign aimed at citing drivers who are distracted by their cell phones. The enforcement will take place from December 30th at 6 am until December 31st at 6am. Officer David Montijo says the campaign is designed to deter people from using their cell phones if they don't have a hands-free device or who are texting while driving. Cell phone violations carry a minimum base fine of $20 for the first offense and $50 for a second offence, which officer Montijo says is deceiving.
"It's deceiving the hear, 'Oh, it's just a $20 fine.' But that's just a base fine. By the time you add up all the other court fines, parking fee, security fee, DNA fee, all these other fines that are added by the courts, you're talking well over $150 just for the first offense and then much greater for the second offense."
Since the laws inception in July 2008 through October of this year, CHP officers have issued 518-thousand- 161 citations statewide to motorists who were in violation of the hands-free law, and 11-thousand 634 citations statewide for texting while driving. The CHP says cell phones are one of the leading, identifiable, contributing factors in inattentive traffic collisions in California.

An unnamed source has confirmed that the actress will stick with her go-to designer for her big day.
The source reported:
"Jen and Justin want to make it a really special day and they're very excited. Apparently, Jennifer has been working with Valentino on a dress and has been heavily involved in the designing process, while Justin intends to wear an Armani tux."
Most recently, she wore Valentino at the 2013 Oscars and then at the 2010 Golden Globes. In fact, rumor has it that she wore the designer's dress at the Oscars as a favor for finishing her wedding dress.
According to the Huffington Post, Valentino has provided wedding dresses at another recent celebrity wedding too. Anne Hathaway wore a Valentino dress when she got married late last year. So, as the rumor mill starts to churn, we will have to wait to see if Aniston does wear a Valentino wedding dress. There is evidence to support the rumor, but anything can happen between now and the wedding to change her mind.
Do you think Jennifer Aniston's wedding gown will be created by Valentino?

Denis Leary's five favorite songs
Denis Leary doesn't only star in, co-write, and produce the FX firehouse drama Rescue Me, he also helped pick the music for the show and its new soundtrack CD. Here are five hot works that have him all fired up.
1. THE TWILIGHT SINGERS Powder Burns 2006 (One Little Indian) ''This is one of the best rock albums I've heard in 10 years. Thematically, it seems like it's all connected to a dark story of addiction. It's really powerful.''
2. THE CARS The Cars 1978 (Elektra) ''Every spring, I put this record in and drive around in my car. It's true pop music.''
3. GILLIAN WELCH ''Barroom Girls'' off Revival 1996 (Acony) ''I listen to this a lot when I'm writing. She has a beautiful voice. I guess it's considered alt-country, but I just think of it as great songwriting.''
4. THE VON BONDIES ''C'mon C'mon'' off Pawn Shoppe Heart 2004 (Sire) ''This is the opening sequence to Rescue Me [and it's on the soundtrack]. The studio wanted a ballad, but I wanted something that would grab you by the neck and throw you out in the street.''
5. DENIS LEARY ''F--- You'' (Unreleased) ''I'm about to go into the studio to record this for my new album that's going to come out this fall. It's a happy, peppy song that makes your foot pound. Hopefully, the whole country will be singing it.''

The EPA is aware that range-extended electric vehicles can game the current fuel economy test to deliver mileage estimates way up in the stratosphere. It makes for impressive advertising, like General Motors' touting of the Chevrolet Volt's estimated 230 mpg, but the EPA wants to give a more ...
The Chevrolet Volt's 230 mpg number continues to be questioned. The latest to criticize is Bill Ford, who takes issue not only with the General Motors-approved 230 figure, but also Nissan's claim that its Leaf EV will get 367 mpg. The real culprit here, Ford said, is the EPA's methodology, which ...
