HCA shareholders approve $21 billion buyout
HCA Inc. shareholders on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a $21.3 billion leveraged buyout — the second largest ever in the U.S. — to take the nation's No. 1 for-profit hospital chain private.
Nov. 16, 2006, 6:35 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
Company officials announced in a meeting at its Nashville headquarters that 283.2 million shares, or 72.9 percent, were voted for the deal while 32 million, or 8.2 percent, were opposed. There are about 388 million shares outstanding, but only 82 percent of them were present for the vote, HCA officials said.
HCA needed approval from a majority of shareholders to seal the deal, which it expects to complete by the end of the year.
HCA Chairman and CEO Jack Bovender told The Associated Press that he felt vindicated by Thursday's vote following lawsuits filed by shareholders who claimed they were not getting paid enough under the buyout deal.
"Obviously an overwhelming majority of the shareholders felt it was a fair price," he said. A shareholder suit that challenged the buyout was settled earlier this month.
The deal calls for stockholders to receive $51 cash for each share of common stock, 18 percent above the stock's closing price before the agreement was made public.
Shares of HCA rose 13 cents to $50.94 in trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
The deal also involves $16 billion in new debt to be borrowed for the buyout and the assumption of $11.7 billion in existing debt.
The company announced in July that its board approved the offer by current HCA management and Hercules Holding II LLC, a consortium of private investment funds including Bain Capital Partners LLC, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity.
The leveraged buyout is the largest, excluding debt, since the $25.1 billion offer for RJR Nabisco Inc. in 1988, according to Thomson Financial.
Nashville residents John and Jane Smith, who have owned HCA stock for about 18 years and now hold about a hundred shares, said they voted in favor of the merger by proxy and turned out for the shareholder meeting to see history being made.
"We thought it would be fun to come out and watch," John Smith, 80, said after the meeting.
Smith said he thought the price was fair considering the current share price.
HCA operates 172 hospitals and 95 freestanding surgery centers and other facilities that provide outpatient services in 21 states, Britain and Switzerland.
The buyout comes as HCA struggles with sliding earnings, slow growth and escalating expenses for the uninsured.
Bovender said going private means the company will now be able to take a long-term view in its attempt to decrease the number of uninsured patients and increase the company's growth.
"You have to work on strategies to minimize the impact (of uninsured patients)," he said. "But you still have to realize it's your responsiblitity to take care of these people."
By eliminating the constant scrutiny from Wall Street, HCA will be more likely to focus on cash flow rather than earnings, said Jon Lehman, associate dean for health care at Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management.
"They now have to worry about paying back the debt," he said.
The company has already sold almost $5.7 billion of debt to finance the buyout. Analysts say a good indicator of the company's health, if it goes private again, will be how the bonds trade on the market.
A management-led buyout 17 years ago took HCA private for three years. At the time, HCA was cutting costs and worried about a hostile takeover.
John Ransom, an analyst with Raymond James & Associates, says it's also very likely HCA could try to go public again in the next five to seven years.
"The buyout investors have to realize their investment at some point," Ransom said. "With a company like HCA, you either would have to take it public or sell it to another buyer."
Thomas Frist Jr., who co-founded the hospital chain in 1968 with his physician-father, will leave almost 16 million shares of HCA stock worth $816 million in the company, boosting his ownership stake to about 15 percent from the current 4 percent.
At least six members of HCA's senior management have agreed to invest a total of at least $46.5 million in cash or roll over a portion of their stock options into the deal.
Frist is the brother of outgoing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican who is under federal investigation for selling HCA shares last year at about the same time that insiders were selling and the stock hit a 52-week high.
Frist, who is considering a 2008 presidential bid, has said he didn't know in advance the hospital chain planned to go private, and that he would not benefit from the deal because he owns no HCA stock. He denies wrongdoing and says he got rid of the stock to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest as he eyes a presidential run.

Great, now I think I'm crazy. I would have bet money that I've already reviewed Weight Watchers regular Cookies & Cream ice cream bars. Did I not buy a big box of them from BJs? Was that before I started the blog maybe?? Must have been pre-blog I guess. I definitely remember eating them and that they were decent. Not fantastic mind you, this is a low cal treat, but definitely a favorable treat.
The first bar disappeared very quickly last night, and I'm about five minutes from grabbing another. I'll try to eat it a bit slower this time as I was quite hungry for chocolate last night. I guess the thing that really wins me over is the very generous cookie crunch coating. It's always there in every bite and that's hard to beat, plus you don't have that annoying shell cracking that you find in a regular chocolate coated bar. The low fat chocolate isn't great, but I don't expect it to be. What I expect is the chocolate to be masked by a pleasant layer of cookie bits and it is. Ok, time for another.
On Second Scoop: Guess what? I really can't complain about these. I like them, plain and simple. The cookie crunch is respectable, the ice cream underneath is good enough, not sure what else to say. I kind of wish I had a regular one and a chocolate one to compare.
Actually, I know what to say. Guess who makes ice cream for Weight Watchers? Blue Bunny! It really is a small world.

Authors: Inge, K.J., Cimera, R.E., Revell, W.G., Wehman, P.H. & Seward, E. H.
Background: People with spinal cord injury face multiple challenges and barriers to employment. Vocational rehabilitation services may provide supports to assist individuals with work.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report on data from the Rehabilitation Services Administration 911 Closure Reports from 2011 through 2013 for individuals with SCI. Information about individuals who received services from State Vocational Rehabilitation programs, including services received and outcomes achieved should provide insight into the effectiveness of current practices and identify areas for future research.
Setting: The data was pulled from the Rehabilitation Services Administration's 911 data base. Data is collected from various state vocational rehabilitation offices across the United States.
Study sample: The study sample included 9,250 people with SCI who had their cases closed in Fiscal Years 2011 through 2013. This figure included a total of 3,217 cases closed in 2011, 3,098 in 2012, and 2,890 in 2013. Notably, there was a 10% reduction in case closures in the last year. Among the closures each year, the number of males versus females served relatively consistent. The average age was 43 years with a range in age from 25 to 64 . The majority or around 75% of those who had their cases closed each year were white/Caucasian.
Data collection and analysis: Information was analyzed from the Rehabilitation Services Administration's 911 data base. There are 215 items captured, including demographic and case closure data. This information is within the public domain. Data was requested for analysis for individuals with SCI who had their cases closed in one of four case closures from FY 2011 through 2013. Case Closure codes are: Status 08: not eligible for services, Status 28: unsuccessful case closure after implementing an Individualized Plan for Employment, Status 30: unsuccessful, case close after eligibility determination but before implementing an Individualized Plan for Employment and Status 26: Successful rehabilitation. Status 26 means the person became competitively employed (including supported employment), self employed, worked at state agency managed enterprise, became a homemaker or an unpaid family worker.
Findings: The national success rates were 30.8% to 32.4%. Some states reported a success rate of 50% or more. More males than females separated from VR services during each of the 3 years. The majority of people with SCI closed Status 26 were white/Caucasian. Rates were also slightly higher for individuals with Associates Degree or more. Average cost of participants was $13,411 in 2011;$15,353 in 2012 and $17,228 in FY 2013. The number of cases that were closed successfully, Status 26, during this time decreased as cost went up. The top 3 services leading to a successful employment outcome were: assessment, VR counseling and guidance, and rehabilitation technology. Among those cases that were not successfully closed the top 3 services were assessment, VR counseling and guidance and diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusions: Future research is needed. Among other things it should focus on what higher achieving states are doing. It should also examine the relationships between services provided to those whose cases were successfully (i.e. AT) and unsuccessfully closed.

Can I stop cold sores happening before I get them?
Q: I'VE been feeling run down lately due to work stress and have been suffering with recurring cold sores. Is there any way to prevent cold sores from happening?
SUPPORTING immune function is central to the treatment and prevention of cold sores. The cold-sore virus is opportunistic, rearing its ugly head when our bodies are placed under stress. Unfortunately, carriers of the virus are carriers for life. However, there are a few simple steps that you can take to help prevent outbreaks and speed up healing.
A herpes outbreak often occurs when our immune system is down so it's important to support your immunity with vitamin C. Aim to eat at least five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables per day. Foods that are particularly high in vitamin C include strawberries, kiwis, peppers and broccoli. Try to avoid over consuming acidic foods such as dairy, wheat, sugar, preserved and processed foods.
There are two amino acids, found naturally in food, that influence herpes outbreaks: they are arginine and lysine. Lysine is an amino acid that prevents the replication of the cold-sore virus. Lysine-rich foods include: fish, chicken, kidney beans, eggs, fruit and vegetables.
Arginine is a food source for the virus -- it thrives on it. Arginine-rich foods include: chocolate, peanuts, seeds, oats and coconut.
So, I recommend eating a diet low in arginine and high in lysine. You might also consider taking lysine in supplement form if you are under increased stress or experiencing severe weather changes.
QI heard that eating seaweed is good for your health. I'd like to give it a try but I don't know where to start, any advice?
ASeaweeds can be an excellent addition to your diet. There is a great variety, some of which are harvested in Ireland. Some examples of popular seaweeds include: dulse, nori, wakame, kombu and arame. They have high mineral contents and can be useful for lowering cholesterol levels. They can also help cleanse the blood and strengthen liver function. Seaweeds also have high amounts of important minerals such as calcium, iodine and iron.
Dulse, harvested in Ireland, is high in iodine which is essential for proper thyroid function. It's also higher in iron than green vegetables. When soaked, it has a lovely purple colour and goes well with soups such as miso.
Kombu is also harvested in Ireland. When dried, it comes in hard, dark green strips. It has detoxification properties and promotes the growth of hair and a clear complexion. Kombu is delicious as deep-fried crisps which are easy to make.
Simply soak the Kombu in water for one hour then drain and wipe off excess liquid. Cut into one-inch pieces and deep fry in very hot oil until crisp. Drain and sprinkle with a little sea salt.

Zero-day exploits—exploits for unpatched vulnerabilities—are typically used for cyberespionage. Hackers sell them to governments and large corporations, under strict non-disclosure agreements, often through specialized brokers, so it's uncommon to see them traded on cybercrime forums.
While it's hard to prove the authenticity of the offer without actually buying the exploit, there are strong indications that the author's claims are real, the Trustwave researchers said in a blog post.
The original starting price was $95,000, but it has since dropped to $90,000. For this sum, the exploit author offers the exploit's source code as well as consultation and help integrating it into the buyer's project.
While privilege escalation flaws do not, by themselves, allow the remote compromise of a computer system, they're still an important part of most attack chains. Many applications now run with limited privileges on Windows or have sandboxing mechanisms meant to prevent a full system compromise if an attacker finds and exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in them.
Based on the little data that has leaked into the public domain about exploit prices, $90,000 for a Windows privilege escalation exploit is "on the high end but still within a realistic price range, especially considering the return on investment criminals are likely to make using this exploit in any campaign," the Trustwave researchers said.
If the exploit seller's claims are accurate, it's hard to defend against this exploit, especially since a demo video shows the exploit successfully bypassing all the protections enforced by Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET).

Music for Tourists
Allan Krantz, Robyn Novello and Steve Kramer
perform Handel's Cantata Spagnuola Sunday in Norristown.
The cellist Steve Kramer and friends presented a program in Norristown Sunday titled, somewhat misleadingly, "Sounds of the Symphony." There was nothing symphonic about it. It was, rather, an eclectic afternoon of short chamber and vocal pieces and Latin dance music. (I wrote the preview a few weeks back, which may be seen here.)
The first half was more or less classical, starting with Steve playing a single Sarabande from Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, and ending with Handel's Cantata Spagnuola and Villa Lobos' Bachiana Brasilero No. 5, sung by the lovely, soft-voiced young soprano Robyn Novello. (Steve and guitarist Allan Krantz provided the understated accompaniment.)
In between, we heard bass-baritone Alan Rosenbaum, whom I remember from Delaware Valley Opera Company production of "La Traviata," in a Ladino folksong and a Donizetti aria, and, in the company of tenor Adam Gilbert, two Hebrew songs by Benjamin Steinberg. Steve also joined violinist Elina Kalendarova of the Philadelphia Orchestra and her father, pianist and composer Edward Kalendar, in Kalendar's slight but attractive Elegie and Scherzo, followed by "A Little Jewish Life," also by Kalendar, for violin and piano. Kalendar received a standing ovation for a piano medley, titled "A Musical Journey Around the World," that mashed up Gershwin, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven with jazz and pop tunes. Impressively played, and quickly forgotten.
The mood shifted seismically after intermission, when the group Latin Fiesta took the stage for an extroverted set of music from (or about) Mexico, Brazil, Cuba and Spain. Some of it was strictly for tourists ―the set included "La Bamba," "Guantanamera," and Sergio Mendes' "Mas que Nada " ― but the accommodations were first-rate, and vocalist Vania Taylor-Watson made a congenial guide. This was music for dancing, rather than listening, and indeed, at one point, the group's resident dancer, Liliana Ruiz, invited the audience up to the stage for a samba. After a costume change, she ended the set with a stunning demonstration of flamenco, pitting her heels in a duel against the percussion of Cuco Aponte. (He finally left the stage in mock defeat.)
I should mention the young flutist, Elijah Thomas, and the drummer Tom Lowery, who were all but invisible behind the speakers and the grand piano, but who nonetheless managed to make themselves indispensable. A bravo, too, to 8-year-old Aaron Liu, one of Steve's pupils, who was brave enough to tackle the Courante from Bach's Suite No. in G in front of a room full of strangers.
Performances were consistently good , but Steve had the session recorded, and the stage was a tangle of wires constantly got in the performers' way. Allan Rosenbaum kicked one off his foot as he was trying to sing, and Edward Kalendar bumped his head on a boom mic more than once. The equipment became a bigger issue in the second half, when the Latin set was marred by over-amplification and, at one point, a dead microphone.

The Nielsen Sesquicentenial
Today, June 9, is Carl Nielsen's 150th birthday, an important anniversary, to my mind, that is going unnoticed in this country. (I wonder if there's anything planned at Tivoli.) Nielsen is an underrated composer -- Bernard Holland of the Times once described him as something like "north of good, but south of great," but we all know what a wheezy old mossback Bernard Holland was -- and he tends to get overlooked in favor of Sibelius, as if one great composer from Scandinavia is all the traffic will bear. (And Finland isn't even really technically Scandinavia.)
Be that as it may, his music has meant a great deal to me ever since I first caught his Fourth Symphony, "The Inextinguishable," on the radio when I was in high school.
Nielsen is best known for his six symphonies and his three concertos, of course, but he wrote much else, including two full-length operas -- Hey, Philadelphia Opera Company, how about staging Maskarade? -- a beautiful Wind Quintet, and some extraordinary piano music. His memoir, My Childhood, is vivid, delightful, touching, and very hard to find. I stumbled across a copy once at a chain bookstore in White Oak, Maryland. It was much too expensive, but I snapped it up nonetheless. I haven't seen another copy since.
Today is a major musical occasion, and in a just world, it would be worth a day off from work.

'Any jackass can see that'
Sometimes, late on Sunday nights when I can't sleep, I tune in The Outer Limits on This TV (broadcast channel 17.3 in Philadelphia. Last night I caught the tail end of "Demon With a Glass Hand," the classic episode written by Harlan Ellison and starring Robert Culp and Arlene Martel (who would later appear as Spock's betrothed in the Star Trek episode "Amok Time"). Sitting through the end credits, I had a small realization. The series' second season theme, composed by Harry Lubin, is really the third movement, Poco Allegretto, of Brahms' Third Symphony, which I also listened to yesterday. Lubin disguises it well, and of course, Brahms didn't use that high electronic whine until the Clarinet Quintet, but you could play the two pieces simultaneously, and they would fit together seamlessly.
Judge for yourself here and here.
This is the kind of thing that occurs to you at one in the morning.
Great young musicians
Composer Sheridan Seyfried, right, with conductor
Louis Scaglione at the Kimmel Center after Sunday's
concert by the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra.
Yesterday I caught the train downtown for a concert by the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, an extraordinary ensemble of close to one hundred high school–age musicians. The program began with Across the Sky, an eight-minute overture by the 31-year-old composer Sheridan Seyfried for the orchestra's 75th anniversary. Sheridan grew up in Oreland, Pa. I interviewed back in the early aughts when he was 19 and had just been accepted to Curtis. I was there at Verizon Hall yesterday at his invitation.
Across the Sky was written, as Sheridan told me after the performance, with one foot firmly in the 19th century. It's an open-hearted, colorfully scored holiday for orchestra time that could, I thought, have been penned by Dvorak. The second subject sounded, to my ear, somewhat Slavic. (Sheridan described it as a Turkish march, though we might not have been talking about the same thing.) The title and what there is of a program ― "a ride across the sky (perhaps on a chariot, or perhaps a magic carpet)" ― came after the piece was completed and were suggested by the principal rhythm, a sort of gallop in 12/8. The young musicians, conducted by Louis Scaglione, gave it a polished, energetic reading. It was a fun few minutes.
The program ended ― astonishingly ― with Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Astonishing that they would attempt such a long, sprawling work, and even more astonishing that they would come through with such a memorable performance. The level of playing was consistently high in every section, and if the climaxes in the second and third movements lacked the punch I have come to expect, my overall impression was one of well-balanced, well-integrated, well-rehearsed professionalism. Congratulations to everyone involved.
The middle of the program was occupied by Tchaikovsky's shameless, flamboyant Violin Concerto, performed with the requisite shameless flamboyance by Michael Ludwig. It's hard to assess the orchestra's accompaniment, since the orchestra isn't asked to do anything very interesting in this piece. There is not a single beautiful moment in it. Of course, it got a standing ovation.
One small mercy: The opening bars always bring a smile to my face, because they appear in Monty Python's "Royal Festival Hall" bit.

"Growing orchids is much easier than running a ballclub."
So stated Walter O'Malley who spent a great amount of time in his greenhouses, first in Amityville, NY and later at his Hancock Park residence in Los Angeles.
Giving him an opportunity to relax and shed the headaches of the work week, O'Malley and his wife Kay both were active in cultivating orchids, many of them exotic varieties. Kay was involved with gardening groups in New York, including the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. She was the one who first ordered a 16-foot long greenhouse for their yard in 1950. O'Malley got up early, spent 30 minutes each morning, starting at 7:15, to work in the greenhouse located on the south side of his house on Great South Bay, which included a "wide variety of 350 plants from all over the world."
After the first public mention of the Dodger President's green thumb and fondness for cultivating orchids, he acknowledged that his baseball family would tease him. "I'm in for some ribbing. It's been a pretty well-kept secret up to now," he said.
Nevertheless, it was quality time spent with Kay, as they shared the hobby and responsibilities of a successful greenhouse. Kay showed and catalogued the orchids, while O'Malley transplanted and re-potted them.
For his 50th birthday on October 9, 1953, the First Lady of the Dodgers presented her husband with a new 32-foot long greenhouse. He even added a telephone to the location so he wouldn't have to run back to the main house to catch a call.
They later set up a greenhouse at their home in Los Angeles and continued their love of growing plants.
O'Malley liked to kid that unlike ballplayers "not a single plant will expect a salary check!"
