We stayed at the Key Lime Inn this past January and enjoyed our stay tremendously. Our room was very clean and pretty. We had a small private deck and the pool was just steps away we they served a continental breakfast. It was nice to walk out the door and grab a cup of coffee. Duval Street is a short walk from the Key Lime Inn so it is conveniently located. I would definitely stay there again!By: Robin Fox on February 24, 2016

We travel to Key West each year for a 3-day fishing trip, and this is the first time we stayed at the Lighthouse Court Hotel. Without a doubt, it's the best place we've stayed yet! Located directly across from the Hemingway House, it's only minutes from the best restaurants and bars in Key West. From a price standpoint, we found this hotel to offer really nice amenities at an extremely affordable rate. We will most certainly be staying here for all our future visits!By: Nick Gomez on February 24, 2016

Just stayed at Lighthouse Court Hotel and it was wonderful. The outside area was relaxing. And the location to walk to everything was great!
Breakfast selections were nice and the outside area was good. Our room was nice and clean- love the hardwoods and the uniqueness of each room.

We stayed overnight at Key Lime Inn early February 2016.
From the moment we made the reservation and throughout our stay we found the staff to be five star; every staff member that we met was professional, friendly, exceptionally pleasant and helpful.
Our premium "cottage" was charming, and clean and the bed was soooo comfortable. the cottage and grounds were very well maintained.
Breakfast was delicious and staff made sure that the food was plentiful and tables were cleaned off immediately.
This hotel is two blocks from Duval street. And midway, making all attractions easily accessible.
If you decide to go to the dessert restaurant "Better Than Sex" you should make reservations early.
You will love your stay at this hotel!

This was our first trip to Key West, and staying at the Merlin Guest House was a perfect fit for us. So close to all the action and fun of Duval Street, but quiet and private enough to offer a beautiful retreat from it all. Breakfast was lovely, the housekeeping staff was sweet and attentive, and our room was simply gorgeous! We will definitely be back. We miss Jordan already!By: Ru Brown on February 23, 2016

My husband and I enjoyed a quick two night stay at the Cypress House Hotel. A beautiful historic building, the Cypress House is conveniently located, clean, and very inviting. It was a short trip, but Melissa at the front desk had so many great suggestions for restaurants, lounges, walking tours, and bicycle rentals that we were able to fit in a lot in the time we were in Key West. We did not want to leave and cannot wait to come back. We would definitely recommend the Cypress House Hotel to anyone looking for some Key West R&R.By: Jennifer on February 23, 2016

United States Patent 3,826,746 LUBRICANT COMPOSITIONS John W. Schick, Cherry Hill, and Robert H. Davis, Pitman, N.J., and Charles .A. Simpson, Aston, Pa., assignors to Mobil Oil Corporation No Drawing. Filed July '18, 1972, Ser. No. 273,002
' Int. Cl. C10m I/32, 3/26 US. Cl." 2525-515 R 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Lubricant compositions are provided containing biocidal effective amounts of a substituted nitropyridine and an acid.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to lubricant compositions and, in one of its aspects, relates more-particularly to petroleum lubricant compositions containing biocidal agents as microbial inhibitors. Still more particularly, in this aspect, the invention relates to novel biocidal compositions whichare effective in inhibiting microbial growth, particularly in such media as petroleum lubricant compositions.
Description of the Prior Art The use of substituted pyridine N-oxides as biocidal agents is known'to those skilled in the art. However, it
has: been found that only limited bacteria growth inhibi- In accordance with the present invention new and improved lubricant compositions are provided, having improved bacterial growth inhibition, containing a biocidal effective amount of an agent comprising a substituted nitropyridine and an acid.
Illustrative of the substituted nitropyridines that can be employed in the novel biocidal agents are 4-nitropyridine N-oxide, 2-methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide, 5- ethyl-2-methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide, or compounds illustrated as follows:
in which R is oxygen; R R represent hydrogen, alkyl, halogens, amino (NH nitro (N0 or combinations thereof. However, inall instances at least one nitro group must be present, preferably in the R position.
The acid employed in the biocidal agent, in combination with the substituteed nitropyridine, may comprise any organic or inorganic acid. Preferably, the organic acid may comprise organic acids having from about 1 to about 40 carbon atoms, and particularly preferred are acids having from about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms. Illustrative of these acids are caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, undecenoic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, ricinoleic acid, dimer and trimer acids and the like. Illustrative of the inorganic acids are hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrobromic acid and the like.
In the novel biocidal agents of the present invention, the substituted pyridine is efiectively employed in an amount from about .01 to about 40%, and preferably from about 0.1 to about 10%, by weight. The acid is effectively employed in an amount from about 0.1 to about 60%, by weight, and preferably in an amount from about 0.5 to about 30%, by Weight.
The biocidal agent is effectively employed, for in hibiting bacterial growth, in any lubricant media and may include cutting oils, penetrating oils, grinding lubricants, core oils, hydraulic fluids or greases and other media which are ordinarily subject to breakdown by bacteria which tend to metabolize the hydrocarbons and result in the formation of deleterious metabolities.
Representative substituted nitropyridines of the present invention may be prepared in several ways. Thus 4-nitropyridine N-oxide may be prepared in the following manner:
79 grams, 1.0 mole, of pyridine and 30 grams, 5.0 mole of acetic acid are mixed and 30% of hydrogen peroxide grams, 0.75 mole) are added. This mixture is heated at 80 C. for a period of 2 hours and another portion of 30% hydrogen peroxide (50 grams, 0.44 mole) are added. The resulting mixture is heated for an additional 2 hours and, again, 30% hydrogen peroxide (35 grams, 0.31 mole) are added. The resulting mixture is then heated for an additional 2 hours. The total heating time at 80 C. is 6 hours and the total amount of 30% hydrogen peroxide is 170 grams, 1.5 moles.
The final mixture is then cooled to room temperature and the excess peroxide is decomposed by bubbling in sulfur dioxide. After the decomposition of the peroxide is complete, the acetic acid is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The pyridine N-oxide residue is taken up in sulfuric acid (177 ml.) with cooling. A mixture of nitric acid (217 ml.) and sulfuric acid (90 ml.) is slowly added. One-half of the acid mixture is added and the reaction mixture is then heated to 70 C. A slight exothermic reaction occurs and the temperature is controlled at 90 C. The remainder of the acid mixture is then added. The resulting mixture is then heated at 90 C. for a period of 3 hours. The excess nitric acid is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue is poured over 300 grams of ice and neutralized to a pH of 6 with 610 ml. of 50% sodium hydroxide. The solid and liquid are extracted with 3X 500 ml. of chloroform. The chloroform extract is concentrated to a thick slurry and the solid is filtered. A yellow solid is obtained weighing 93.9 grams, 67% yield and a melting point of -62 C.
To obtain 2-methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide, having a melting point of 15456C., the same procedure, as described above, employing alpha-picoline in place of pyridine, is carried out. Similarly, to obtain 5-ethyl-2- methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide, having a melting point of 79-80 C., the same procedure is employed, but using 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine in place of pyridine.
Other known methods for producing these and other substituted nitropyridines of the present invention may also be efiectively employed.
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS The following test procedure was employed for determining the biocidal activity of the novel biocidal agents investigated in accordance with the present invention:
In this procedure A" x /2" x .027" thick filter paper was saturated with the biocidal test solution (approximately /2 ml.). This square was placed in the center of a nutrient agar plate previously inoculated with bacteria 3 (predominantly pseudomonas). In this test an effective biocidal agent should inhibit growth adjacent to the filter paper. The distance from the edge of the paper to the point where bacterial growth begins, is indicative of activity.
As is shown in the data of the following table, if 4-nitropyridine N-oxide, as a representative substituted nitropyridine, is omitted (Example 1), from a typical cutting fluid formulation containing 3%, by weight, of caprylic acid, little inhibition of bacterial growth adjacent to the filter paper, is realized. The data of Example 2 indicates that a 1%, by weight, addition of 4-nitropyridine N-oxide to this same formulation, "but without the presence of the caprylic acid, results in only a slight growth inhibition, approximately A" from the filter paper. However, as is shown in Example 3, the activity of the substituted nitropyridine is greatly enhanced if caprylic acid is present wherein bacterial growth is prevented in an area of about from the test paper.

Biocide activity test: Bacterial growth inhibition, inches from test square Me Aside from their outstanding biocidal eflicacy in inhibiting bacterial growth in lubricant compositions, the biocidal agents of the present invention may also be employed for similar effect in such media as cosmetics, wax emulsions, cleaning solutions for dairy equipment and as a biocidal agent for treatment of skin disorders or other medical purposes.
Although the present invention has been described with certain specific and preferred embodiments, for purposes of illustration, it will be understood that various modifications and adaptations thereof, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
We claim:
1. A lubricant composition containing a biocidal elfective amount of an agent comprising (a) from about 0.01
to about 40%, by weight, of a substituted nitropyridin having the formula: a. 1%!
Rs R2 in which R is oxygen; R to R represent hydrogen, alkyl, halogens, NH N0 or combinations thereof and in which at least one of R to R is N0 and (b) from about 0.1 to about by weight of an acid selected from the group consisting of organic acids having from about 1 to about 40 carbon atoms in which only hydrogen and carboxyl groups are bonded to carbon, and inorganic acids.
2. The lubricant composition of claim 1 wherein said agent comprises from about 0.1 to about 10%, by weight, of the substituted nitropyridine and from about 0.5 to about 30%, by weight, of the acid.
3. The lubricant composition of claim 1 wherein said substituted nitropyridine is 4-nitropyridine N-oxide.
4. The lubricant composition of claim 1 wherein said substituted nitropyridine is 2 methyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide.

Submitted by: Dennis Baumann on Jan 16, 2012Three years ago I bought a dog from Double Shots Gun dog kennel. Sadie turned into one of the best dogs I have ever owned. She was easy to train. Points are solid, she backs, and is a very good on retrieving. She has successfully hunted pheasant, prairie chickens, sharptail, ruffed grouse, woodcock, ducks and geese. She has retrieved all of these birds. In addition to all of the above, she is a very sweet house dog.

Just in time for the weekend, here's a little list of some of the things I've been listening to and reading this week, some of it online — Storyboard included, natch — and some of it on vinyl actual ink and paper.
Two of my biggest loves are narrative journalism and music, and I'm lucky that my days are filled with both. When reading stories, I get inspired by songs I think fit the article's theme — a soundtrack. Here are a couple of this week's Storyboard articles, and their soundtracks:
Annotation Tuesday! The Shadowy World of "Involuntary Celibates." When Elliot Rodger went on a rampage in Isla Vista, I remember reading some of his rants and being chilled to the core — as a woman, yes, but also as a human being. He identified as an "involuntary celibate," or incel, a community filled with men — and they are almost all men — who don't have sex, but not by choice. In this annotation, April Reese talks to writer Peter C. Baker about his profile of an incel named Michael, and Baker's fascination with the margins of society. He says, "It's not necessarily that the characters are on … Read More

Purdue professor says Ebola 'primed' to go airborne
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The first case of Ebola transmitted between patients in America has experts across the country reviewing safety protocols.
At Purdue University, Dr. David Sanders has been studying the virus since 2003 – specifically how this particular Zaire strain of Ebola enters human cells.
More | Six things to know about efforts to develop a drug to treat Ebola
While the virus has thus far only been shown to be transferred via bodily fluids, Sanders argues that it could become airborne.
"It can enter the lung from the airway side," Sanders said. "So this argues that Ebola is primed to have respiratory transmission.
"We need to be taking this into consideration," he continued. "What if? This is not a crazy, 'What if?' This is not a wild, 'What if?'"

Sanders said the longer the virus spread and mutates, the more likely airborne transmission will become. He also said that's why it's critical to suppress the outbreak in Africa to prevent a worldwide spread.
Sanders said it's impossible to know how many Americans could contract Ebola, or how much longer this outbreak could last. But, he said, the danger is still very low for the average American.

"As an established body armor leader with a strong heritage in developing the most innovative and comprehensive systems, we have a robust business today and continue to invest in our offerings and operations, while expanding our global distribution network. We remain committed to product quality and safety and we're working more closely with industry partners to improve ballistic science and carrier design. Our latest line-up of solutions reflects this – with new multi-functional and multi-compliant body armor packages that address the ever-changing needs of officers," said Daniel Gaston, Chief Executive Officer of Point Blank Enterprises.
The company will have on display its core concealable offerings, including Vision, Hi-Lite, Python, Perform-X and Blue Steel; enhanced cross-over carriers, including its Maverick, Gresham, Endeavor and R20-D lines, which continue to be in high demand; and a complete new line of tactical products under the PARACLETE® brand. Point Blank has placed a greater emphasis on expanding its tactical product line over the past year and is proud to showcase its newest advanced combat systems, which have been tailored to meet the specific needs of tactical units and response teams, nationwide and across the globe.
Additionally, Point Blank's newest suite of concealable and tactical offerings include advanced combo ballistic-stab systems, Active Shooter Response Kits, and military-spec solutions that support increasing demand for more modular, scalable and adaptable capabilities. These include:
- Advanced combat systems from PARACLETE®, which integrate the 'latest and greatest' in military, law enforcement and special ops technologies – providing the ultimate combination of high-performance protection, upgradeability and functionality. These advanced carrier designs allow tactical officers to configure their body armor to meet mission-specific needs. This includes the ability to move from higher to lower levels of protection, while enhancing mobility and agility. A modular construction offers the ideal combination of form, fit and function. The company has also developed a new line of tactical accessories and pouches, bringing the 'kit' approach directly to the field, along with new helmets, hard armor plates and shields.
- Latest combo ballistic-stab packages from Point Blank Body Armor and PACA provide today's law enforcement and corrections officers with maximum coverage against multiple threats such as gunfire and edged blade or spike weapons. High-tech fiber materials and designs have brought additional capabilities and coverage to these combo packages and are easing the industry's concern about officers who mistakenly believe their ballistic armor is stab-resistant.
According to the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the lives of at least 29 law enforcement and corrections officers were saved by bullet- and stab-resistant vests in 2011.
- New Active Shooter Platforms/Response Kits from Point Blank Body Armor enable officers to rapidly don a plate carrier over their existing concealable vest and immediately upgrade their protection when a threat situation escalates. The plate carrier is the foundation of an active shooter response kit because it provides up-armor capabilities that address the threat of rifle and high-powered firearms.
"We will continue to build our world-class brands with new products that reflect our deep understanding of officers' needs. We're excited about the future – delivering the quality of solutions and services that our customers have come to expect; growing even more strategically; and expanding our business in these markets. Our commitment to developing life-saving solutions has not wavered and we look forward to meeting with our customers and partners at SHOT Show. With the improvements we continue to make across our organization, we believe 2013 will be our best year yet," Mr. Gaston concluded.
Sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the SHOT Show is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries. It is the world's foremost exposition of combined firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics and related products and services. The conference attracts professionals from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Train to Hudon Valley from NYC~where to pick up rental car?
Report Abuse
Poughkeepsie is about as "rural" (read: cheap) as you can get, yet have a chance of finding rental cars, probably Enterprise. You'd be able to take Metro-North ( http://as0.mta.nyc.ny.us/mnr/schedules/sched_form.cfm ) to get there.
I often find the best car rental deals at airports. Even tho it would be out of your way, look at prices for a rental out of Newark. Usually LGA or JFK remain pricey. Albany (reachable by Amtrak) doesn't seem to have deals very often, but regular prices are often lower than those NYC area hotels.
If you want cheap transportation to Albany from NYC, try www.albanybus.com , one of the "chinatown bus" services.
Report Abuse
There's an airport in Newburgh called Stewart that has several rental car places. Evidently you can take metro north to Beacon (a lovely place with a great art center, DIA) and hop a shuttle bus from Beacon to the airport. Here's info
Report Abuse
Much closer to NYC than any of the previously mentioned cities and towns is Croton, where Enterprise has an office not too far from the train station. You might check with them and other car rental companies to see who has facilities near any of the stations along the Metro North Hudson line.
Report Abuse
Both Hertz and Avis have rental locations in POK, but they are in a business park on Rt 9, not really near the train station. You could cab it from the train to the office, but i suspect there are better options. Enterprise could pick you up at the train - but I don't know offhand which office is closest to the station.
I would not get off in Beacon and bus it to Stewart - you'll waste a bunch of time.
When are you going? I'll do a little local research and get back to you about POK or New Hamburg station for rental car.
Howard also has good advice to check Croton, which is a major hub for metro north.
I can look into this / ask around tomorrow or Sat, but won't be able to tonight.
Report Abuse
I know a bunch of people who live in NY and when they head north for business or pleaseure they rent IN NYC then drive out of town. That might actually be your best option, considering the wasted time getting from train to rental car, etc. any where along metro north hudson line.
Report Abuse
Here's a promotion between Metro North and Hertz and it gives stations you can use.
I agree though, you should compare the prices and options to just renting from Manhattan.
Report Abuse
If you are going to use Hertz POK location, be aware that they have city office hours, Mo-Fr 0700-1800, Sa-Su 0800-1600. After hours drop off is ok, but not pickup.
Report Abuse
Thank you for the Metro North-Hertz package info. We will be leaving NYC out of Grand Central Station(yippee) and picking up the rental car in Poughkeepsie. BTW~Hertz now offers a pick up service.
I am getting very excited!!! I can't wait to see the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires.

Fred Thomas Resort is a northern Wisconsin premier family and fishing vacation choice for the ultimate "up north" getaway! Situated on the shore of Big Lake Chetac in Northwest Wisconsin, Fred Thomas Resort brings you comfort and hospitality. Our impeccable accommodations and peaceful surroundings combine to create the perfect northwoods vacation experience.
It was the early 1900's and Fred Thomas was living the life that young boys dream of. He was playing professional baseball. Fred was batting at pitches thrown by Walter Johnson and hoping his line drives would get by the glove of Ty Cobb. His teammates were the likes of Everett Scott, Harry Hooper and Babe Ruth. Fred Thomas was playing third base with the Boston Red Sox. The highlight of his career was in 1918, when he helped Boston win the World Series against the Chicago Cubs. When Fred retired from Baseball in 1924, he knew where he was headed. He, his wife, and small sons were off to the wilderness of northern Wisconsin to build their dream — a resort on Big Lake Chetac.
From a primitive beginning with no roads, electricity or running water, Fred and his wife, Connie, built a modern-day resort. Fred and Connie were determined to offer the best and the slogan "Perpetually New" has stood as a reminder to that commitment.
The Thomas family continues the management in the Fred Thomas tradition of "Perpetually New". This concept of continually upgrading the resort's facilities has ensured beautiful and immaculate accommodations that guests come back to enjoy year after year. Vacationers enjoy more than exceptional facilities when choosing our family owned resort. It is the intangible that makes your vacation experience truly special. It is the feeling of warmth and
hospitality, that unique place in your heart when you know you have come home.

Violence grows as Colombian farm strike spreads
| updated at xx
Thousands of students joined farmers and state workers in the Colombian capital Bogota to protest as the 11-day agricultural strike grows ever more violent.
Police fired water canon and tear gas as protesters hurled rocks, blocked roads and looted shops.
The strike is over new trade laws, which the farmers say have left them impoverished.
One protester explained why the students had taken to the streets:
"We support the farmers, but also we have our own issues, we demand free and good quality education."
President Juan Manuel Santos flew over the city to witness the clashes as his government faces a growing number of difficulties, including tough peace negotiations with the FARC rebel group.
Colombian Defence Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon condemned the violence:
"Three police officers have gunshot wounds. Let it be clear these protesters are not doves. They are criminal gangs and members of FARC."
The strike has united potato growers, dairy farmers and teachers.
Protests have also been reported in Cali and Medellin.

Also, is there a certain rule about the ballhead's max load related to the tripod's max load? I mean, ballhead's max load needs to be equal or greater than the tripod's or it wouldnt matter picking a smaller max load?

Legendary Armenian swimmer's heroic feat to get film treatment
February 7, 2014 - 17:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The feat of legendary Armenian swimmer Shavarsh Karapetyan will get a film treatment in Russia.
The bio, to be named "20 Lives" will chronicle the act of heroism of the swimmer who single-handedly saved 20 people out of a drowning bus. Logos Studio will be in charge of the production, RIA Novosti reported.
Synopsys: On a wet September morning the 17-time fin swimmer world champion, Shavarsh, was on his morning run along the shore of a lake when he saw a trolleybus going at full-speed crash off a bridge into the lake. The ripples closed in on the people who were still alive in less than a minute. 92 people in the trolleybus sank to the bottom. The giant vehicle sank ten meters deep.
Not even taking a second to think about it, Shavarsh threw himself into the icy, troubled water. He dove for twenty minutes and brought person after person to the surface.
The unbelievable incident of saving those people set back the grandiose plans of this talented athlete-swimmer to reach his athletic dreams. He ended up in intensive care with massive blood infection because of the high amount of cuts from glass, and double inflamed lungs. For 45 days doctors fought for his life. Despite leaving the hospital with injured lungs, legs, and an allergy to water, Shavarsh returned to elite sports to set his 11th world record.
This is an incredible story of the human spirit, capable of the impossible. It's a story about a strong person…a hero, giving a second chance to twenty people. The reward for his courageous spirit and bravery was life…that of those he saved and his own.

Cameron friend lobbying for Pfizer in takeover bid: PM and key figure in £63 billion deal went on holiday together
- US drugs giant has made a £60billion+ bid for UK's AstraZeneca
- Ministers insist they are pushing in 'hard-nosed way' to protect jobs
- Lobbyist received a knighthood in the New Year's Honours List
Lobbyist Sir Alan Parker has been trying to influence the decision to allow the hostile takeover of AstraZeneca by US giant Pfizer
A lobbyist friend of David Cameron is at the heart of the hostile bid by American drugs giant Pfizer to take over British rival AstraZeneca, it emerged yesterday.
Sir Alan Parker, who once holidayed with Mr Cameron and received a knighthood in the New Year honours list, is spearheading the UK lobbying operation for Pfizer's controversial £63 billion bid.
Mr Cameron has been accused of 'cheerleading' for the bid, despite concerns about the impact on British jobs and science.
Last night Downing Street said it was 'nonsense' to suggest the Prime Minister's friendship with Sir Alan had coloured his view of the proposed deal.
'The Prime Minister is fighting for British jobs and British science,' the spokesman said.
But the revelations will raise fresh concerns about the influence of well-connected lobbyists within government. Sir Alan, whose PR and lobbying firm Brunswick is acting for Pfizer, has close personal links with Mr Cameron.
The Prime Minister was guest of honour at his 50th birthday and the two men's families have been on holiday together.
Sir Alan accompanied Mr Cameron on a trade mission to China in December last year and he was knighted a few weeks later.
Tory sources pointed out that Sir Alan, whose firm acted for US food giant Kraft in its bitter 2009 take-over of British chocolate maker Cadbury, also had close links to Gordon Brown. Brunswick declined to comment.
The revelations came amid mounting concern about the potential impact of a foreign buyout of AstraZeneca.
The Wellcome Trust, Britain's biggest medical research foundation, became the latest high-profile organisation to warn that the deal could damage Britain's science and research base.
Sir Alan is a personal friend of British Prime Minister David Cameron, pictured
In a leaked letter to George Osborne, trust chairman Sir William Castell said the deal raised 'major concerns'. He said AstraZeneca was 'critical' to the UK's science base and he raised doubts about Pfizer's record.
'Pfizer's past acquisitions of major pharmaceutical companies have led to a substantial reduction in research and development activity, which we are concerned could be replicated in this instance,' Sir William said.
Mr Cameron, who has held talks with both sides in the deal, has already extracted a series of assurances from Pfizer about future investment in the UK.
But last week he said he wanted further assurances, and officials are examining how to make any promises binding.
Nick Clegg yesterday warned that the Government's massive spending on pharmaceuticals and science gave it a 'stake' in the outcome of the deal which justified interference – including demanding assurances on jobs and research.
Swedish premier Fredrik Reinfeldt yesterday said Pfizer's promises could not be trusted. Sweden was given assurances by the US firm during its 2002 acquisition of Pharmacia but Mr Reinfeldt said: 'There were promises that it would mean jobs and operations in Sweden that we don't think were honoured.'
Miliband 'too busy' to meet American boss
Ed Miliband was accused of 'a huge error of judgment' yesterday after it emerged he had rejected talks with Pfizer about its planned takeover of AstraZeneca.
Labour sources confirmed that Mr Miliband had turned down a meeting with Pfizer boss Ian Read because he was 'too busy' – just days before he attacked the deal.
Labour leader Ed Miliband was heavily criticised for refusing to meet Pfizer boss Ian Read because he was 'too busy'
The Labour leader was also facing the prospect of a Commons sleaze inquiry over a donation of £4,400 from former Labour minister Shriti Vadera when she was a board member of AstraZeneca last year. Mr Miliband failed to draw attention to it, as required by parliamentary rules, when he criticised the Pfizer deal in the Commons.
Leading Conservatives yesterday accused Mr Miliband of 'posturing' and said it was extraordinary that he chose to hit the election trail rather than discuss the potential fallout of the biggest takeover in British corporate history.
David Cameron, who has held talks with both sides in the deal, said his policy of engagement stood in 'stark contrast to the Labour leader who wouldn't even meet with them'. Chancellor George Osborne added: 'It is a huge error of judgment.'
