Douglas A. Berthiaume
Thank you. Well and good morning, and welcome to this, the Waters Corporation Fourth Quarter Financial Results Conference Call. With me on today's call as usual is John Ornell, Waters' Chief Financial Officer; and Gene Cassis, the Vice President of Investor Relations. And as it's our normal practice, I'm going to start with an overview of the quarter's highlight, and then John will follow with details of our financial results and provide you with an outlook for the first quarter of 2012 and for the full year. But before we get going, I'd like John to cover the cautionary language.
John A. Ornell
During the course of this conference call, we will be making various forward-looking statements regarding future events or future financial performance of the company. In particular, we will provide guidance regarding possible future income statement results of the company this time for Q1 and full year 2012. We caution you that all such statements are only predictions and that actual events or results may differ materially.
For a detailed discussion of some of the risks and contingencies that could cause our actual performance to differ significantly from our present expectations, see our 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, under Part I, captioned Business Risk Factors. We further caution you that the company does not obligate or commit itself by providing this guidance to update predictions. We do not plan to update predictions regarding possible future income statement results, except during our regularly scheduled earnings release conference calls and webcasts. The next earnings release call and webcast is currently planned for April 2012.
During this call, we will be referring to certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is attached to the company's earnings release issued this morning. In our discussions of the results of operations, we may refer to pro forma results, which exclude the impact of items such as those outlined in our schedule entitled Reconciliation of Net Income Per Diluted Share included in this morning's press release.
Douglas A. Berthiaume
Thank you, John. Well, 2011 was a second consecutive year of double-digit sales growth and even faster earnings growth for Waters. Successful new product launches and healthy demand from our pharmaceutical customer base have been key factors in driving our growth. In addition, we continue to benefit from faster growth in developing countries and opportunities associated with our applied markets such as food testing and clinical diagnostics.
In short, we have offered industry-leading products and enjoy superior access to faster growing market segments, positions our organizations have worked high to achieve over a multiyear period.
I think it's also important to note that 2011 was a year of investment for Waters. During the year, we continued to bring new systems to market across all our major product lines and expanded field personnel to support rapidly expanding customer bases in these developing regions. We're confident that we have an adequate foundation to grow top and bottom line results in 2012, while maintaining our reputation for industry-leading customer service and support.
If you'll look at the fourth quarter, our sales grew organically 8%, and our adjusted earnings per share were up 13%. And all these results were a bit ahead of our expectations and represent the impact of continued strong business momentum.
For the Waters division, we saw strongest growth in our pharmaceutical and industrial chemical end markets. The pharmaceutical growth was particularly strong in Western Europe and in the U.S., indicative of a continuation of an instrument upgrade cycle that I cited earlier this year.
The combination of government and university shipments held up reasonably well during the quarter, most notably for the SYNAPT G2 system shipments that were delivered to academic institutions throughout the quarter. Going forward, as a result of continuing austerity measures, we expect less robust global sales to government agencies in Europe, Japan and the U.S. That's a segment that has recently accounted for about 5% of our worldwide sales.
A tough base of comparison limited the growth rate of our food analysis business in the quarter. You may recall, we benefited from food safety-related business in late 2010, especially from sales resulting from dairy product testing in China. As a result of these strong results in the prior year quarter, our Chemical Analysis business, which includes food and environmental testing, grew more slowly in this quarter.

East Coast Life Sciences Roundup: Sarepta, Agios, Gerngross, & (Much) More
Ben Fidler7/26/13Follow @benthefidler
It was earnings week for a few of the big biotech staples on the East Coast, but that was far from all that happened. In case you've been stuck under a rock, we've got the highlights, lowlights, and everything in-between wrapped up below.
—Cambridge, MA-based Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT) plans to submit a new drug application to the FDA for its Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy treatment, eteplirsen, during the first half of 2014. The news represented a major step forward for patients with the crippling genetic disorder, which currently has no cure, as well as the company, which has been one of the biotech industry's best performing stocks over the past year. The agency, however, hasn't committed to designating increased production of dystrophin—the key protein Duchenne patients lack in their muscle fibers—as an acceptable surrogate endpoint for "accelerated approval" of the drug. Sarepta has shown its drug can increase dystrophin production, and that translates into improved walking ability on a standard 6-minute walk test, but its data is only from a small study of 12 patients at a single site. Concerns regarding the uncertainty of whether the FDA will approve the drug on such a slim data set caused a few analysts to downgrade their rating of Sarepta's stock. Thus, despite the positive news of the looming FDA submission, Sarepta's shares plummeted more than 18 percent.
—Cambridge-based Agios (NASDAQ: AGIO) soared into the public markets. The company, which is developing drugs to interfere with overactive metabolic pathways that feed tumors, sold 5,888,888 shares at $18 apiece, raising roughly $106 million, upsizing its IPO by close to 1 million shares and beating its projected range of $14 to $15 per share. Agios' momentum carried into its first day of trading, as its stock opened at a whopping $29 apiece and closed at $31.28, a 73.8 percent boost from the IPO price. After one day on the Nasdaq, Agios' market capitalization eclipsed $900 million—despite not having a single drug in clinical trials.
—Brash biotech entrepreneur Tillman Gerngross is working overtime to overhaul tech transfer at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. Gerngross is heading a new initiative at Dartmouth called the Office of Entreprenuership & Technology Transfer, through which he wants to give entrepreneurs a greater piece of the ownership of their inventions, to help find the best method for them to build value and create companies, and ultimately connect those companies with the university's vast network of venture capital alumni. Gerngross spoke to me at length about the problems of the existing tech transfer model, and how he hopes to fix it.
—Gerngross also found time this week to announce two tech transfer deals of his own for his Lebanon, NH-based antibody discovery startup, Adimab. Both GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) and Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) have signed agreements to take Adimab's drug discovery technology and use it as the basis to create a pipeline of antibody drugs. Those deals will help turn Adimab cash flow positive, and put the company on track to give investors a full return on the roughly $50 million they've invested in the company by next year. Adimab was founded in 2007.
—Cambridge-based Biogen Idec gave investors their first official look into the launch trajectory of its closely-watched oral pill for multiple sclerosis, dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera). The numbers weren't all-world, but they still managed to top analysts' expectations.
—Cambridge-based Vertex Pharmaceuticals's (NASDAQ: VRTX) stock took a hit on Thursday after the FDA slapped a partial clinical hold on VX-135, a drug candidate for hepatitis C, after seeing liver toxicity in patients taking the drug in a study in Europe. Shares fell about 11 percent in after-hours trading.
—Lexington, MA-based SynapDx raised $15.4 million in equity financing from a group of investors led by Google Ventures and Foundation Medical Partners to help back a big study of its diagnostic test that identifies supposed biomarkers linked to a high risk of autism. SynapDx, led by successful diagnostics entrepreneur Stanley Lapidus, is conducting a 660-patient, 20-site study in the U.S. and Canada of the test. The company has now raised more than $32.4 million in venture capital since it started in 2009.
—Newton, MA-based Alcresta grabbed $10 million in financing from Bessemer Ventures, Third Rock Ventures, and Frazier Healthcare Ventures that will allow it to chart a course to potentially bring its first products to hospitals and pharmacy shelves in 2014. Alcresta is making devices containing key enzymes that help people such as cancer patients absorb the "good" fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6, in nutritional drinks.
—Cambridge-based Ironwood Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IRWD) released its second quarter financial report, which showed that linaclotide (Linzess), its drug for adults with chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation—and its first marketed drug—netted $28.8 million in sales in the three-month period that ended June 30. Linaclotide, which Ironwood and partner New York-based Forest Laboratories (NYSE: FRX) began selling linaclotide on Dec. 17, brought in $4.5 million in sales during the first quarter.
—Speaking of Forest, Reuters, citing unnamed sources, reported this week that both the specialty drugmaker and generics giant Perrigo (NYSE: PRGO) are preparing bids for Elan (NYSE: ELN). Elan put itself up for sale in June after fending off a hostile bid from Royalty Pharma.
—New York-based Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) signed a licensing deal with Harbour Antibodies, a startup backed by Cambridge-based Atlas Venture, allowing it to use the company's transgenic mice to help it discover antibodies. The Atlas-backed startup already has similar licensing deals in place with Eli Lilly and ChemPartner. Atlas also led a EUR$2.5 million ($3.3 million) funding round for Harbour, which has named former Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer executive B.J. Bormann as its new CEO.
—Aveo Oncology (NASDAQ: AVEO) boardmember Kenneth Weg will step down from his post on Aug. 1, according to an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No reason was given for his decision. Aveo, of course, has taken a series of hits since an FDA advisory panel voted down its kidney cancer drug, tivozanib, on May 2.
—Former FDA chief information officer and chief scientist of informatics Eric Perakslis has been named the executive director of Harvard Medical School's Center for Biomedical Informatics and the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Great looking Sunglasses that resemble Juliets from Oakley. They fit great. Awesome color scheme (Gun Metal & Fire Irridium) I've had several friends assume they were legit Oakleys until I told them they weren't.
One of the arms came loose but it just needs to be tightened. No real biggie...
Question whether or not they are truly "polarized"!
They accessories it came with them are worth it alone. Hard shell case, soft fabric case (with drawstring) and cleaning cloth!
Good purchase if you're looking for casual shades or just leave them in the car for cruisin' on sunny days.

Planting Emerald Green Arborvitaes
I want to screen the rear of my yard with Arborvitaes. My yard was leveled last year and right now I have a 2' high retaining wall made out of concrete block. Within this wall there is 24 inches of planting area before a 1 foot wood retaining wall separates my yard from my neighbors. The wood wall is sunk down 6 inches and my neighbors' yard is opposite that. The length of this area is 80'. I have several questions regarding the planting of the arborvitaes: Is this enough space to plant the arborvitaes? Will the roots be ok since there is the 6" wall under the surface separating my yard from my neighbors? How many would I need to obtain full screening? Should I plant them 2' on center? Thanks for any help! Here's a crosssection of the yard to help explain what I am saying: AdvertisementLast edited by zephed666; 04-18-2011 at 12:59 PM. |

Planting Emerald Green Arborvitaes
No expert by any means here but I have planted these type arbovities .
I would plant them at the lowest level and a good couple of feet from the block wall. Where you want to plant them they may push out your wall. You could plant sedum ect in the 2 ft space Spaced at 3 to 3.5 ft apart , the emerald green will take a few years to fill in but look much nicer IMO as they will bush out. One or two soaker hoses ( one on each side) for the dry periods are a must ( for the first couple/three yrs ) and no fertilizer for the first year. I use miracle grow DILUTED 1/3 strength and just a sprinkle on rare occasion ( only as needed ) and this will bring out the nice color. Use lots of mulch.

To the editor:
Harrison County Recreation Board of Directors and its Director Rick Chasteen, along with their employees of River Road Park, deserve recognition and commendation for their outstanding efforts in revitalizing the baseball fields and facility. Not many weeks ago, the park's renovation was stricken with nature's effects and it was doubtful that activities could begin in a timely manner. However, with hard work and dedication of park employees, and many Harrison County citizens, the youth baseball and softball programs were able to begin on time.
I will always believe that 'thank you' goes a long way.
In my office at The Cynthiana Democrat, on the bulletin board beside my 2010 content improvement plan, a Harrison County school calendar and a piece of paper listing phone numbers for city commissioners, there's an array of 'thank you' notes.

A friend has a 15 shot 9mm SW 915 he'll sell me for $250 ("Bought it new - still in the box"). These were the '92-95 no-frills version of their Model 59, they were superceded by the similar 910, and their MSRP was $479 (I think). The two bluebooks I found suggest $250 - $350 for good condition up to $350-450 for mint/nib. Gun Broker shows few bids and unmet reserves on most I saw.
But I can't find any reviews out there, except for a fellow who says he spend $400 and is thrilled to pieces at its performance (though that's encouraging). But I did find that the 915 magazine safety doesn't always work, if I am to believe a lawyer's website. Not that such a flaw would bother me: I would prefer NOT to have a magazine safety.
Does anyone know anything about this model? Do I want it for this price? Sure, I want a Glock, but at half the price I may choose to go this direction. Reliability is a key factor for me. I'll check ergonomics and concealability when I go visit him, if feedback here suggests moving forward.

"Combined Operations of VIPdesk and International SOS bring to Market First Truly Integrated Global Concierge and Customer Service Delivery Platform."
VIPdesk announced some very exciting news this morning: we have merged with International SOS, the world's leading integrated medical and security assistance and concierge services company. The combined operations will bring to market the first truly integrated global concierge and customer service delivery platform—meaning that we will both be able to better serve our clients on an international level, and grow our business globally.
The joint resources of International SOS and VIPdesk will lead the industry in size, scope and combined capabilities—the team will consist of over 1,200 professionals including a virtual network of concierges and customer care specialists, and 14 global service delivery centers worldwide servicing over 1,000 corporate clients.
VIPdesk and International SOS' relationship began in 2009 when the companies partnered on a global RFP. The relationship continued to evolve, during which time we recognized the benefit of a proactive merger that would help us meet our own clients' needs and give us much-needed international capabilities. International SOS' global footprint in over 70 countries in conjunction with VIPdesk's record of innovation in technology and customer care will extensively enhance the combined capabilities of the two companies, while maintaining the same client–centric focus that both are known for.
VIPdesk will continue to operate as the US based, wholly-owned subsidiary of International SOS under the leadership of its founders and management. This means that the company will function as-is, independently, but with the support, leadership, and global capabilities that only International SOS can provide.
This new partnership with International SOS provides the opportunity to globalize clients' concierge and customer care programs, as it enhances the scope of what VIPdesk can provide. Stay tuned, as we will be rolling out a comprehensive global product and service offering in the near future.

And the Kosher Cupcakes
The episode opened with Caroline thinking she was going to get sick after Han sneezed on her. He offered to pay for a visit to a specific clinic that had a doctor on staff. It turned out this clinic was in the Orthodox Jewish community.
While there the girls over heard the receptionist saying she needed cupcakes for her son's bar mitzvah the next day. Max said that they could bake the cupcakes. The woman points out they needed to be kosher.
After debating with Caroline about making sure they were kosher, Max finally agreed to make them kosher. The next day after the family starts taking care of her because she is sick, Max admits that 4 of the 80 cupcakes weren't kosher because she had burned a batch and made some with the supplies she had.

text: TOP 10 Top 10 Entertainment Top 99: Sports Illustrated Models Back to Top ▲ Top 99: Sports Illustrated Models 2 Irina Shayk Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares With her dark brown hair and undeniable beauty, it's easy to see why Irina Shayk landed last year's Swimsuit Issue cover. Her fifth time modeling for the magazine turned out to be the charm, and if history's taught us anything, it's that the year after a SI model graces the front cover is the one when she becomes a household name. That means 2012 should be a big one for Shayk, and we can't wait to see how far this Russian beauty goes -- even if she did recently turn down huge sums of money to pose for Playboy. (After seeing the stunning Shayk in Sports Illustrated, we understand why Hugh Hefner was willing to shell out so much cash.) For now, though, Shayk prefers to keep things "classy," which means we'll have to content ourselves with Irina's numerous lingerie shoots. But no matter how much skin Shayk shows, it's enough to make us even more jealous of her soccer superstar boyfriend, Cristiano Ronaldo, than we already are.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Kris Medlen's long road back to the rotation ended in the rain, but it did not prevent him from picking up the Braves' seventh straight win, a 7-1 triumph over the Miami Marlins.
Medlen (2-1) only pitched two games in 2011 recovering from Tommy John surgery and started 2012 in the bullpen, but the right-hander held the Marlins to one run on four hits and a walk in five innings in his first start since 2010. He added three strikeouts as the Braves took the second portion of the four-game set.
Brian McCann closed out July with his career-best ninth home run of the month and Tyler Pastornicky hit his second career home run for the Braves, who have taken 10 of 13.
"We're rolling pretty well," Pastornicky said. "I think we made some good additions to the team. Everyone's kind of excited about that. We're just looking forward to keep playing well."
The Braves lit up Ricky Nolasco (8-10) for the second time in a week. After crushing him for six runs on Wednesday, Atlanta tagged the right-hander for four runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings.
Jose Reyes extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a first-inning infield single and Donnie Murphy slammed a solo homer, but they could not prevent the Fish from losing for the 10th time in their last 13 games.
Murphy, the second hitter of the game, put the Marlins on top with an opposite-field home run to right-center field, but Atlanta quickly responded with three runs in the bottom half of the first.
Martin Prado and Jason Heyward reached base with one-out singles and advanced to second and third on a balk. Prado scored on a McCann groundout before Nolasco walked Freddie Freeman and Dan Uggla to load the bases. Juan Francisco, playing in place of Chipper Jones, lined a single to right, plating two more runs.
"I didn't give in and just tried to gut it out as long as I could," Nolasco said. "A good team gives me a 1-0 lead, and I come in and give up three, it just sucks all the energy right out of the team. It's not what you're looking to do as a starting pitcher."
McCann hammered an 0-2 slider over the right-field fence to give Atlanta a 4-1 lead in the third inning.
After a 1 hour, 53 minute rain delay following the fifth inning, the Braves' offense did not miss a beat.
Pastornicky, pinch hitting, belted a solo shot to left. Bourn then singled and reached second on an error before Heyward scored him with a liner up the middle, giving the Braves a 6-1 lead after six.
Freeman singled in McCann, who crushed a two-out double, to round out the scoring in the eighth.
Cory Gearrin, Chad Durbin, Eric O'Flaherty and Jair Jurrjens, making his first career relief appearance, combined for four scoreless innings in relief of Medlen to lock up the win.

I believe that we are witnessing the last days of BT . . . in the very near future it will be a footnote in local history - one of those bits of trivia that nobody really cares about.
What other conclusion can one come to? By design a hyper-local "newspaper" whose overwhelmingly main components were the VOX and the blogs - with precious little "real" reporting.
It's a cycle . . . after all BT is simply the repackaging of the former Carolina Morning News - the real question is when will they fold - no other outcome seems possible.

Shocking . . . from any perspective this incident is beyond belief - do we live in the United States, or some third-world country where life is so cheap that weapons are used in a parking dispute? In a sub-division?
Why are there such strict parking restrictions to begin with? Why the aggressive "enforcement" on Christmas Eve (and I use the term "enforcement" loosely)? The obvious answer to the second question is greed, the tow-truck operator gets $300 for each towing/placement of boot - there is the bottom line in my opinion.

Ya know, up until a few weeks ago, I used to poo-poo away all those seemingly wild and zany fears that people would go on and on about concerning our "rights" being taken away and such. Not so much anymore . . . no, not so much anymore.
In the recent past we've learned about the NSA intercepting phone calls, or tapping phones – whatever they called it. I wasn't too worried, heck I don't talk about illegal things and certainly don't plan terrorist acts . . . I'm "safe", right?

There are two things here that make the area around the fireplace cozy. One is that there is a big seating area which has been adorned with a pillow. This invites you to curl up right next to the fire to read a book or just to watch the dance of the flames. The other thing here is the shelf of framed artwork above the fireplace. Checking it out gives you an excuse to come closer to the fire to keep warm.
When putting furniture around a fireplace, it's always ideal to put some chairs as close to the fireplace as it is safe for them to go. This highlights the fireplace as a central part of the room's design and also draws people towards it so that it's included in the life of the home.
The thing that is terrific about this fireplace is that it has a built-in area for you to keep the logs for the fire. This really adds to the charm of the fireplace. The logs themselves form a sort of structural artwork in the wall. And the fact that you can actually see the wood that will be used to create the fire makes you feel so much more in touch with the natural elements than you would be if the wood was hidden away until it was used.
Wooden furniture is a really great choice to go with when you're trying to select pieces to go in a room with a fireplace. That's because it enhances the rustic feeling that a fireplace naturally creates. The addition here of the great wood beam ceilings really makes you feel almost as though you're living in a modern log cabin.
What I love here is how you can have a hodgepodge of different furniture and yet it comes together well because it's focused around the fireplace. The table serves as the main decor piece. Can't you just picture kids sitting around that table playing cards or board games while parent sit on the mismatched furniture and chat? It seems perfectly cozy but without the fireplace it just wouldn't be the same, would it?
If you do like matching decor, however, that can certainly be done around a fireplace. The trick here is to create the layout of the room without regard to the fireplace at first. Here we see a blue-and-white themed seating area enhanced with a rug and decorations of the same color. Then just bring those tones into the fireplace area (as was done with the ceramic pot here) and you've got yourself a cozy design with a fireplace to boot.
If you want a really opulent room then it's best to go with a simple fireplace. Here there is a bit of ornate design in the fireplace but it doesn't stand out too much because of its simple white color. This allows the rest of the room to be the focus of the warmth with its red hues and many textiles.
In some cases, less really is more. Here is an example of how the fireplace serves as a true centerpiece for the room. With very little furniture and just a room filled with books and flames, you can really just let yourself escape into your own imagination.
It's rare to see a fireplace against a glass wall like this but it's a neat design format that should be considered if it's possible. Just picture reading a book by this fire while snow falls outside and you can see how romantic and cozy you'll feel with a design like this one.
It's rare to see a fireplace against a glass wall like this but it's a neat design format that should be considered if it's possible. Just picture reading a book by this fire while snow falls outside and you can see how romantic and cozy you'll feel with a design like this one.
This is a terrific example of how a fireplace doesn't have to be the center of a room's design to add warmth to the area. Here we can give attention to the artwork, the shelving units, the plant life and the furniture. And yet everything is situated in such a way as to make it possible to experience the warmth of the fire from anywhere in the room. It's cute and it's cozy.
It's important to note that a fireplace can be cozy and warm even if it's not functional. Here we see how art work and plant life have been set inside the fireplace as though it's almost a frame. The fire-orange window seat and comfortable chair here enhance the coziness of the area so that you don't feel like the place is sterile and cold just because the fireplace doesn't work.

Alex, I am sorry that I've been greatly pre-occupied this past week so I cna only now suggest what I should have suggested days ago.
Come back to the US, I'll check into that same hotel room and leave a "laptop" in plain sight on the desk while making it known that I have to be away all day and won't be back until very early the next morning.
Of course first we will install a dye pack, as used in bank cash drawers, in the laptop, and rig the hard drive's accelerometer (Lenovo's and Apple's have them) to set off the dye pack when the laptop is in motion.
Then we grab the bright red hotel employee, extradite them back to Portugal, and produce an award-winning YouTube video on "High Speed Keel Hauling".
We'll be famous, and before they die they might even tell us where your laptop went. (Keelhauling normally being 100% fatal, please make sure you do not have your bottom painted or cleaned in the interim, it needs a good layer of septic barnacles on it for good results.)
Is that worth doing, or what?! I saw your video and decided, damn, I could use some time on the water like that...what could I do to make Alex bring me over and take me out sailing now?!

"Can't Help Falling in Love" is a pop song originally recorded by American singer Elvis Presley and published by Gladys Music, Elvis Presley's publishing company. It was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore and George David Weiss.[2] The melody is based on "Plaisir d'amour"[3] (1784), a popular romance by Jean Paul Egide Martini (1741–1816). It was featured in Elvis Presley's 1961 film, Blue Hawaii. During the following four decades, it was recorded by numerous other artists, including British reggae group UB40, whose 1993 version topped the U.S. and UK charts, and Swedish pop group A-Teens.
Elvis Presley's version of the song, which topped the British charts in 1962, has appeared in numerous other films, including Coyote Ugly and Walt Disney's Lilo & Stitch. The single is certified by the RIAA as a Platinum record, for US sales in excess of one million copies. In the United States, the Elvis Presley version of the song peaked at number two on the pop chart and went to number one on the Easy Listening chart for six weeks.[4]
During Presley's late 1960s and 1970s live performances, the song was performed as the show's finale. Most notably, it was also sung in the live segment of his 1968 NBC television special, and as the closer for his 1973 Global telecast, Aloha from Hawaii. A version with a faster and sloppier arrangement was used as the closing for Presley's final TV special, Elvis in Concert.

In 1993, British reggae band UB40 recorded the song as the first single from their 1993 album Promises and Lies. The song was released in May 1993, in the majority of countries worldwide. It eventually climbed to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting at number 100 and appears in the soundtrack of the movie Sliver.[5] and also appears in the trailer for Fools Rush In. It remained at number one in the U.S. for seven weeks. It was also number 1 in the UK. It was a great success, reaching number one in Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. The single version of the song has a slightly different backing rhythm and melody.
In the US, and on the Sliver soundtrack, the song title was listed as "Can't Help Falling In Love," rather than what appeared on the record sleeve.

Single by A-Teens | ||||
from the album Lilo & Stitch and Pop 'til You Drop! | ||||
Released | October 29, 2002 | |||
Format | CD single | |||
Recorded | 2002 | |||
Genre | Pop | |||
Length | 3:06 | |||
Label | Walt Disney Records, Universal Music Group | |||
Writer(s) | Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, George David Weiss | |||
Producer(s) | Mark Hammond | |||
A-Teens singles chronology | ||||
The song was the A-Teens's first single from their first extended play Pop 'til You Drop!, as well as for the Lilo & Stitch movie soundtrack, which was originally scheduled to include several Presley tracks, the A-Teens picking it for inclusion in the soundtrack. It was later also featured as a bonus track on their third studio album New Arrival for the European market. The video had thus tremendous exposure on several television channels, with the A-Teens eventually including the song in their third album. As a result, the song had two music videos, one to promote the Disney movie, the other for the album.
The song did not chart in the United States but reached No. 12 in Sweden, No. 16 in Argentina, and No. 41 in Australia. Despite the success of the song overseas, it failed to attract the rest of the Latin American public, due to the fact that there was a Spanish version of the song, performed by the Argentine group, Bandana. In addition, the A*Teens' version of the song was overshadowed by the promotion of Bandana's version.
The video was directed by Gregory Dark and filmed in Los Angeles, California. It had two different versions. The "Disney Version", as the fans named it, features scenes of the movie, and also new scenes of the A-Teens with beach costumes. The "A-Teens Version" of the video, features the A-Teens on the white background with different close-ups and choreography, and scenes with puppies and different costumes.

The staff was kind and really friendly. The room was clean and very confortable and the location was excellent
nothing, everything was perfect
-location -large common space
-ongoing construction works in the building (smell and dust), -no kitchenette or a kettle -no glasses nor cups to borrow
staff are very friendly. location is great
there was no heater the night I stayed. The room was not as good as the picture.
-A flat at the first floor is currently under renovation and the workers make a hell of a noise from 9 am to 1 pm all week long except on Sunday. I was in a room above it and the noise was unbearable. -Moreover, the pictures look nice but in fact, don't expect it, it's a lie. I have seen a couple rooms and none of them look alike the pictures shown on this website. -In the end, if you like Sauna, go there. They have a central heating system from the morning to 11pm, and it is going at the maximum at all time. The room are overheated and even during the winter, we needed to let the windows open all day long. To conclude, just don't go.
Wifi is good Staff are very nice
If the sound proof in the room could be better...Actually, I can hear someone playing cellphone upstairs, not mention the noise from cross-hall
the location is close to the metro station
the wi-fi was very poor
The personnel was really nice, we asked them to fix the ventilator and it was done quickly without any problems, really appreciate it. In general, everything is fine thanks a lot to the hostel for the great time in Madrid.
+bright, nice rooms +good location +clean apartments
-no microwave oven and cutlery
There was a funny smell in the building but not in the room.
Wifi signal was ok (I stayed in the 2nd floor). The location was good (near the Manuel Becerra station and near several restaurants) Room service (they make the bed and remove trash from the garbage can) Silence
The bathrooms were very small, and were constantly flooded. The staff didn't cleaned the bathroom: I staiyed for four nights, and a dead cockroach was in the bathroom during this period.
Location, clean, very good price/quality, young people, citytrip
The toilet/bathroom was in the same room as the bedroom (no total seperation) -> less/very few privacy/ waking each other when going to bathroom/toilet, not realy comfortable
the Wifi was excellent. We are from Australia and we met our Cousin from Switzerland at this hostel for 3 days in Madrid, the staff put us on the same floor and conveyed our messages of arrival. The room has Air conditioning and there is a communal lounge in which you can have a drink, and a communal fridge to keep things cold. Very VERY secure.
The Print out from Booking.com did not tell us that we had to go to the 3rd floor to book in.......i waited out the front until the post man came and told me what to do. The parking is in another street and cost €20 per day but is extremely secure.
they have a frige and enough bathrooms. the hostel has a good location close to the centre. many supermarkets, cafes and other places.
no microwave, so you have to either fo somewhere for a breakfast, or to eat cold items. guys, you need a microwave, install it, its cheap!
Hostal very welcoming and good staff. Good value for money.
Pictures show only high end rooms, so its a bit confusing when you book one of the cheaper rooms. Although those rooms where also good!
Location very good, close to Manuel Bercerra metro station. Can walk to centre in 40 minutes. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Comfy rooms and beds, good air con. Wifi included. Good price for location.
The bathroom was only separated by a frosted glass screen, so toilet visits aren't very private or contained.
There was air conditioning and the WIFI worked. It was clean and modern
good location. close to metro. OK price.
uncomfortable bed.
beautifull clean single room at very affordable price at a very good location.
Not much to mention.
The attention of the Staff was nice, the room was cheap and it was a good room with private bathroom.
Maybe the faq that you have to take bus-train to get the hotel (no direct line)
Staff: not very helpful and they don't know how to treat clients. Facilities: worst room, bed and showers, ever. Heating was not working, curtains were not working, hot water was not working. Cleanliness: wardrobes very bad. Comfort: it's not even a proper hostel, it's just an old building where the 3rd floor is the hostel. Extremely bad the building and the hostel. Value for money: I believe most of these reviews were made by hostel staff. This is a horrible hostel, people very unfriendly and facilities and comfort are very bad. You can find more hostels cheaper and much better. Location: not the best. Wifi: very bad signal. Overall: worst decision ever. Please use google maps and do 'street view', don't trust only what they write in this website. It's an old house, with very small rooms, not clean, cold showers, very cold in winter, heating is not even working and unexperienced staff. They charge you more if you come after midnight (when reception closes). Please ask everything before booking.
