LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) ? Modern life in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, has become almost a character itself in novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's new book, "Americanah."
Within its pages, one catches self-acknowledged glimpses of the writer herself, who shot to fame with her previous novel, a love story set during Nigeria's civil war entitled "Half of a Yellow Sun."
As that book is made into a movie, more international attention is expected to focus on Adichie, who is part of a raft of new Nigerian writers finding acclaim after years of military-induced slumber in a nation with a rich literary history. Yet Adichie, like her new book's heroine, finds herself straddled between a life in the United States and one in Nigeria, where even seemingly innocuous comments on hair care and wigs can stir resentment.

Mary Ann Tighe is perhaps the only mover and shaker in New York's real estate world who once majored in, taught and authored a textbook in art history.
"Art history, if you?re going to learn it at all, you develop a visual memory, which is a different kind of memory," Tighe says. "If you?re in the business of knowing space and buildings, etcetera -- I have a very good visual memory of space to this day."Tighe is the New York region CEO of the real estate firm CBRE, one of the world's largest real estate firms. She oversees more than 2,000 employees.
Tighe is also the chairperson emeritus of the Real Estate Board of New York and recently completed a three year term as REBNY's first female chairperson.
In 2011, Crain's New York Business called Tighe the most powerful woman in New York.
"Being the first woman in, at the point in the 114-year-old history of the real estate board, to an industry that is as central as it is to the city -- that?s what it?s due to," she says.
Tighe is the dealmaker behind such high profile projects as The New York Times building and Conde Nast's move to 1 World Trade Center.
It was the Conde Nast deal in the mid-1990s that helped change Times Square and Tighe's outlook.
"I was really worried, and then in '96 I did the Conde Nast deal at 4 Times Square and I think I ceased to be worried at that point," she says. "I began to realize I could do this."
But Tighe also came to realize that relationships are also built on the deals not made.
"There is nothing more that bonds you more to a customer than the moment you tell them not to do something that they know would be a benefit to you," Tighe says.
She credits Carol Nelson as her mentor, someone who taught life lessons when Tighe first got into the business in the mid-1980s, a time when there weren't many high powered women in New York real estate.
"The purity of the brokerage business is if you can make money for people, there is no glass ceiling," she says. "There is nothing clearer than that."
But it seems gender imbalance still played a role. Tighe remembers that the analogies in her early classes at the firm were sports and cars, subjects alien to her.
"When I got to give my first class as CEO, I made it all a makeup analogy because I wanted everyone to experience what it was like," she says. "I was getting these looks. 'You see what?s happening?'"
She grew up in the South Bronx. Her dad worked in a warehouse. Her mom was the secretary at the parish rectory.
Tighe's home away from home was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she could expand her mind -- for free.
"I think a lot of it was about wanting the world to get bigger all the time," Tighe says. "Having come from this very enclosed, very narrow world, which gave great comfort but was clearly too tight a fit."
It wouldn't take long for Tighe to make her world bigger.
After graduate school in the late-1970s, while working for the Smithsonian, she heard a speech by Joan Mondale, the wife of then Vice President Walter Mondale.
"I wrote a letter to Bess Able, Mrs. Mondale?s chief of staff whom I met that day when she came to the Hirshhorn saying, 'It was so wonderful to have Mrs. Mondale here. If you ever need help writing speeches, I?d be happy to volunteer.' Which was my nice way of saying it stunk," Tighe says.
It led to an interview at the White House, and a job on the vice president's staff.
"At this stage, I perceive it as a kind of fearlessness. Like, what?s to lose?" she says. "I?m not sure it was really that as a kid, I think it was more about being up for the adventure."
Her next adventure came in television, where as an executive, she helped create the cable network A&E.
By the mid-1980s she'd moved back to New York, resisting a move to California and leaving the TV industry.
"I also felt that it was going to be a slog up the corporate ladder at that point in my late 30s and I wanted to be somewhere where there was a direct correlation between what you produced and how you were compensated," she says.
Tighe has a grown son from a brief first marriage. Around that time, she was teaching art history at Georgetown University.
One of her students was David Hidalgo. She married that student seven years later.
Hidalgo is now a leading plastic surgeon.
He's operated on his wife, and apparently a few of her real estate colleagues too.
"What I love is he never tells me, but I joke about the signals. People will come up to me and say 'Hi!' you know in this very funny way, and immediately I?ll know."
Since 2001, Tighe and her family have raised millions for a foundation in honor of her sister Joan, who died of lung cancer.
Her mother also died of lung cancer, though neither of them were smokers.
"Our mother died within six months of diagnosis, Joan died within nine months of diagnosis," Tighe says. "We discovered, to our horror, that there hadn't been any real advances in the study of lung cancer since when our mother died. But how could this be?"
Strangely, it was the work of the foundation that led to Tighe writing about her plastic surgery in O Magazine, even though she initially denied the magazine editor's request for such an article.
"She came back to me, she said, 'What if we do something in Oprah about Joan?s legacy, my sister?s charity.' You don?t have to that magazine is like magic, you get into the magazine, great stuff happens," Tighe says. "I said, 'Well now you have a currency I?m interested in.'"
The deal was made, the article was written. The confidence that Tighe once displayed in getting a job at the White House, helping to start a cable network, then entering into the rough and tumble world of New York real estate is still there on display.
"Of course you want to do this work with me," she says. "Who would you have more fun with? What's the probability of success? Take a look."
"People say to me sometimes, 'Are you depressed when you don?t get hired?' I say 'Now if someone doesn?t select me, I really feel bad for them because I feel like they?ve missed this opportunity that we could?ve done something exceptional together."
But there is also a humility, an understanding of the big picture, seen through the eyes of a young girl from the South Bronx.
"My brother and I, we were recently, both Tom and I got involved in a project in Shanghai, what will be the tallest building in China when it?s completed and the second tallest in the world, and there we were on the roof of the Mandarin Oriental in Shanghai. I said to him, 'Can you believe? You know, it?s a long way from 159th Street and 3rd Avenue."

Still stuck on central-bank life support
LONDON (Reuters) - Five years after the onset of the global financial crisis, the world economy is in such a chronic condition that the European Central Bank might cut interest rates this week and the Federal Reserve is likely to indicate no let-up in the stimulus it is providing the U.S. economy. With the euro zone economy in recession, momentum is building for the ECB to lower interest rates for the first time since July 2012, according to senior sources involved in the deliberations.

Earnings beating forecasts but jury's out on rest of season
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. companies have easily beaten expectations for first-quarter earnings so far in the reporting season, but nearly half of the members of the S&P 500 are yet to announce results and they are unlikely to be as robust. With results in from 271 of the S&P 500 companies, year-over-year earnings growth is projected at 3.9 percent, compared with a forecast for 1.5 percent growth at the start of the earnings season, Thomson Reuters data shows. That figure includes those that have reported and analyst estimates for those who have not.

LONDON (Reuters) - A mother who persuaded her adopted teenage daughter to become pregnant by artificial insemination because she wanted a baby for herself has been jailed for five years in Britain, in a case that raises concern over how easily donor sperm can be obtained.
Previously secret court documents showed that the daughter, a virgin, was made to inseminate herself alone in her bedroom seven times over a two-year period starting in 2008 when she was 14, using syringes of semen bought online by the mother from sperm bank Cryos in Denmark.
She eventually became pregnant at 16 and gave birth at 17. The extraordinary circumstances of her pregnancy came to light after midwives became suspicious of the mother because she was trying to prevent her daughter from bonding with the new baby.
"We don't want any of that attachment thing," the mother said when a midwife suggested that the girl might want to breastfeed. After several such incidents the midwives alerted social services and police got involved in July 2011.
In a ruling made in March 2012 but only published now after the conclusion of the mother's criminal trial, High Court Judge Peter Jackson described "an abiding sense of disbelief that a parent could behave in such a wicked and selfish way towards a vulnerable child".
The judge also raised questions about the international trade in donor sperm, noting that "there were no effective checks on a person's ability to obtain sperm from Cryos".
There is no law in Britain to stop someone from buying donor sperm on the Internet and using it at home without supervision.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said it was "shocked and appalled by this dreadful case" and would be discussing with the Department of Health the issues raised relating to the donation of sperm.
Described in the judgment as having "an exceptionally forceful personality", the mother wanted to be the sole influence in the lives of her daughters, whom she schooled at home behind drawn curtains and kept isolated from the world.
The mother, who was imprisoned for child cruelty, had three adopted daughters but desperately wanted a fourth and was distraught when authorities told her in 2007 that she would not receive approval for a further adoption.
Instead, she persuaded the eldest of her three daughters to embark on a programme of artificial insemination to provide her with a baby to raise as her own.
The mother wanted the child to be a girl and made her daughter use acid douches containing vinegar or lemon juice in the belief that this would influence an unborn child's gender.
The daughter said she allowed her body to be used by her mother because she loved her. In a Mother's Day card written in 2009, the daughter pasted a photo of a positive pregnancy test and promised that she would give her mother that.
Cryos declined to comment on the case or on its procedures. In a section on home insemination, the sperm bank's website says: "In EU the goods can freely be moved from country to country, however, Cryos cannot know the rules in all countries so the recipient is responsible for the legality of imports."

CINCINNATI (AP) ? A student at an Ohio Catholic high school is in critical condition after police say he pulled out a gun and shot himself in his classroom.
A University of Cincinnati Medical Center spokeswoman reported the student's condition Monday afternoon, about six hours after the shooting at La Salle High School west of Cincinnati.
She says his parents have provided a statement thanking people for their thoughts and prayers while asking for privacy. She didn't release any other information about the student's condition.
Police say there was no apparent threat to anyone else at the school. The high school went immediately into lockdown, and students have been dismissed to their parents.

TUPELO, Mississippi (Reuters) - A Mississippi martial arts instructor was charged on Saturday with attempting to use a biological weapon after a ricin-laced letter was sent to President Barack Obama earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Everett Dutschke, 41, was arrested at his Tupelo home shortly after midnight by FBI agents following searches of the residence and a former business as part of the ricin letter investigation.
He was later charged with "developing ... and possessing" ricin and "attempting" to use it "as a weapon," according to a joint statement by the U.S. attorney for the northern district of Mississippi and the head of the FBI's Mississippi office.
Ricin is a highly lethal poison made from castor beans.
If convicted, Dutschke faces maximum possible penalties of life imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
His arrest came several days after U.S. prosecutors dropped charges in the case on Tuesday against another Mississippi man, Kevin Curtis, who was released from jail after a search of his home revealed no incriminating evidence.
Dutschke's name first surfaced when Curtis' attorney suggested in a court hearing that her client had been framed by someone, and mentioned a running feud between Dutschke and Curtis.
Saturday's announcement did not specify if Dutschke was being charged in relation to the ricin letters, but it noted that the investigation had been conducted by several federal agencies including the U. S. Postal Inspection Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Dutschke's attorney, Lori Basham, did not return calls seeking comment, but she told Reuters earlier in the week that her client denied having anything to do with the ricin letters.
Dutschke is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Oxford, Mississippi, on Monday.
Federal agents initially targeted Curtis, an Elvis impersonator, in their efforts to find who sent the letters laced with ricin.
Letters addressed to Obama and Senator Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican, were retrieved last week at off-site mail facilities before reaching their intended victims. A Mississippi state judge also received a ricin-laced letter.
Discovery of the letters fueled more national anxiety in the days after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.
The case also brought extra scrutiny for the FBI almost 12 years after a 2001 letter-borne anthrax attack that killed five people and puzzled investigators for years. The anthrax investigation came in the wake of the September 11, 2001, hijacked plane attacks on the United States.
Federal agents in unmarked vehicles were stationed in streets surrounding Dutschke's home on Friday afternoon and all evening.
Agents from the FBI and members of an anti-terrorist response team from the Mississippi National Guard, some wearing hazardous material suits, had searched the home on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as the premises of a former martial arts studio Dutschke ran in the city.
Dutschke was cooperating with federal officials during the searches this week, his attorney said.
'MISSING PIECES'
Suspicion had originally fallen on Curtis because of wording contained in all three ricin letters, which included his initials "KC."
Dutschke has told local media that he knew Curtis but had only had contact with him three times, and not since 2010.
Curtis, 45, told the Northeastern Mississippi Daily Journal that he believed Dutschke deliberately sabotaged his career as a performer by calling sponsors and telling them about Curtis' numerous prior arrests. "I lost 12 really big shows in 2011 and eight in 2012 directly linked to him," Curtis told the newspaper.
Dutschke, who fronted a two-man blues band in Tupelo called RoboDrum, ran unsuccessfully as a Republican candidate in 2007 against Stephen Holland, a Democratic state representative from the Tupelo area. Holland's mother, Sadie, is the judge to whom one of the ricin-tainted letters was mailed this month.
Curtis's brother and fellow Elvis impersonator, insurance agent Jack Curtis, worked for a time with Dutschke and said he believed the feud with Dutschke was related to his brother's efforts to publicize allegations about a black market for body parts at a local Mississippi hospital.
Kevin Curtis was fired as a janitor from North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo after raising questions about body parts he said he observed there. The hospital strongly denied the allegations.
Dutschke faces other charges related to an April 1 indictment for fondling three children between ages 7 and 16, from 2007 to 2013, according to court records.
RICIN POTENCY
The FBI said on Thursday that more tests may be necessary to determine the potency of a granular material identified as ricin contained in the letters.
An FBI agent testified in court in Mississippi that the ricin found in the letters was in a crude form and looked like castor beans ground up in a blender, according to media accounts. Experts have said ricin in that form would have a low potency.
Castor bean plants are grown as ornamental shrubs in the Southern United States, but there is no domestic castor oil production and it is mostly imported from India and China.
Milton Leitenberg, senior research scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies at the University of Maryland, said the vast majority of ricin cases since the 1960s had involved crude ricin preparations made from recipes published in manuals and on the Internet.
"You could ingest this crude stuff, swallow a couple of tablespoons and you'd probably vomit, but not much more," Leitenberg said in a telephone interview.
A material like that described in the ricin court hearing would pose little danger, Leitenberg said.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Environmental Protection Agency has dramatically lowered its estimate of how much of a potent heat-trapping gas leaks during natural gas production, in a shift with major implications for a debate that has divided environmentalists: Does the recent boom in fracking help or hurt the fight against climate change?
Oil and gas drilling companies had pushed for the change, but there have been differing scientific estimates of the amount of methane that leaks from wells, pipelines and other facilities during production and delivery. Methane is the main component of natural gas.
The new EPA data is "kind of an earthquake" in the debate over drilling, said Michael Shellenberger, the president of the Breakthrough Institute, an environmental group based in Oakland, Calif. "This is great news for anybody concerned about the climate and strong proof that existing technologies can be deployed to reduce methane leaks."
The scope of the EPA's revision was vast. In a mid-April report on greenhouse emissions, the agency now says that tighter pollution controls instituted by the industry resulted in an average annual decrease of 41.6 million metric tons of methane emissions from 1990 through 2010, or more than 850 million metric tons overall. That's about a 20 percent reduction from previous estimates. The agency converts the methane emissions into their equivalent in carbon dioxide, following standard scientific practice.
The EPA revisions came even though natural gas production has grown by nearly 40 percent since 1990. The industry has boomed in recent years, thanks to a stunning expansion of drilling in previously untapped areas because of the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which injects sand, water and chemicals to break apart rock and free the gas inside.
Experts on both sides of the debate say the leaks can be controlled by fixes such as better gaskets, maintenance and monitoring. Such fixes are also thought to be cost-effective, since the industry ends up with more product to sell.
"That is money going up into the air," said Roger Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado, adding he isn't surprised the EPA's new data show more widespread use of pollution control equipment. Pielke noted that the success of the pollution controls also means that the industry "probably can go further" in reducing leaks.
Representatives of the oil and gas industry said the EPA revisions show emissions from the fracking boom can be managed.
"The methane 'leak' claim just got a lot more difficult for opponents" of natural gas, noted Steve Everley, with Energy In Depth, an industry-funded group.
In a separate blog post, Everley predicted future reductions, too.
"As technologies continue to improve, it's hard to imagine those methane numbers going anywhere but down as we eagerly await the next installment of this EPA report," Everley wrote.
One leading environmentalist argued the EPA revisions don't change the bigger picture.
"We need a dramatic shift off carbon-based fuel: coal, oil and also gas," Bill McKibbern, the founder of 350.org, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "Natural gas provides at best a kind of fad diet, where a dangerously overweight patient loses a few pounds and then their weight stabilizes; instead, we need at this point a crash diet, difficult to do" but needed to limit the damage from climate change.
The EPA said it made the changes based on expert reviews and new data from several sources, including a report funded by the oil and gas industry. But the estimates aren't based on independent field tests of actual emissions, and some scientists said that's a problem.
Robert Howarth, a Cornell University professor of ecology who led a 2011 methane leak study that is widely cited by critics of fracking, wrote in an email that "time will tell where the truth lies in all this, but I think EPA is wrong."
Howarth said other federal climate scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have published recent studies documenting massive methane leaks from natural gas operations in Colorado and other Western states.
Howarth wrote that the EPA seems "to be ignoring the published NOAA data in their latest efforts, and the bias on industry only pushing estimates downward ? never up ? is quite real. EPA badly needs a counter-acting force, such as outside independent review of their process."
The issue of methane leaks has caused a major split between environmental groups.
Since power plants that burn natural gas emit about half the amount of the greenhouse gases as coal-fired power, some say that the gas drilling boom has helped the U.S. become the only major industrialized country to significantly reduce greenhouse emissions. But others believe the methane leaks negate any benefits over coal, since methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas.
The new EPA figures still show natural gas operations as the leading source of methane emissions in the U.S., at about 145 million metric tons in 2011. The next biggest source was enteric fermentation, scientific jargon for belches from cows and other animals, at 137 million metric tons. Landfills were the third-biggest source, at 103 million metric tons.
But the EPA estimates that all the sources of methane combined still account for only 9 percent of greenhouse gases, even taking into account methane's more potent heat-trapping.
The EPA said it is still seeking more data and feedback on the issue of methane leaks, so the report may change again in the future.
The EPA revisions have international implications, too. The agency says the new report, Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks, was submitted to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change by an April 15 deadline.

NEW YORK (AP) ? The Federal Aviation Administration said that the U.S. air traffic system will resume normal operations by Sunday evening after lawmakers rushed a bill through Congress allowing the agency to withdraw furloughs of air traffic controllers and other workers.
The FAA said Saturday that it has suspended all employee furloughs and that traffic facilities will begin returning to regular staffing levels over the next 24 hours. The furloughs were fallout from the $85 billion in automatic-across-the-board spending cuts this spring. The bill, passed on Friday, allows the FAA to move as much as $253 million within its budget to areas that will allow it to prevent reduced operations and staffing.
The furloughs started to hit air traffic controllers this past week, causing flight delays that left thousands of travelers frustrated and furious. Planes were forced to take off and land less frequently, so as not to overload the remaining controllers on duty.
The FAA had no choice but to cut $637 million as its share of $85 billion in automatic, government-wide spending cuts that must be achieved by the end of the federal budget year on Sept. 30.
Flight delays piled up across the country Sunday and Monday of this week as the FAA kept planes on the ground because there weren't enough controllers to monitor busy air corridors. Cascading delays held up flights at some of nation's busiest airports, including New York, Baltimore and Washington. Delta Air Lines canceled about 90 flights Monday because of worries about delays. Just about every passenger was rebooked on another Delta flight within a couple of hours. Air travel was smoother Tuesday.
Things could have been worse. A lot of people who had planned to fly this week changed their plans when they heard that air travel might be difficult, according to longtime aviation consultant Daniel Kasper of Compass Lexicon.
"Essentially what happened from an airline's perspective is that people who were going to travel didn't travel," he said. But canceled flights likely led to lost revenue for airlines. Even if they didn't have to incur some of costs of fueling up planes and getting them off the ground, crews that were already scheduled to work still had to paid.
"One week isn't going to kill them, but had it gone on much longer, it would have been a significant hit on their revenues and profits," Kasper said.
It's also a toll on travelers. At New York's LaGuardia airport on Friday, traveler Roger Bentley said "getting on a flight and being delayed really puts people on the spot. It puts people on the edge and makes people edgy and that's not something I want."
The challenges this week probably cost airlines less than disruptions from a typical winter storm, said John F. Thomas, an aviation consultant with L.E.K. Consulting.
"I think the fact that it got resolved this week has minimized the cost as it was more the inconvenience factor," Thomas said.
The budget cuts at the FAA were required under a law enacted two years ago as the government was approaching its debt limit. Democrats were in favor of raising the debt limit without strings attached so as not to provoke an economic crisis, but Republicans insisted on substantial cuts in exchange. The compromise was to require that every government "program, project and activity" ? with some exceptions, like Medicare ? be cut equally.
The FAA had reduced the work schedules of nearly all of its 47,000 employees by one day every two weeks, including 15,000 air traffic controllers, as well as thousands of air traffic supervisors, managers and technicians who keep airport towers and radar facility equipment working. That amounted to a 10 percent cut in hours and pay.
Republicans accused the Obama administration of forcing the furloughs to raise public pressure on Congress to roll back the budget cuts. Critics of the FAA insist the agency could have reduce its budget in other ways that would not have inconvenience travelers including diverting money from other accounts, such as those devoted to research, commercial space transportation and modernization of the air traffic control computers.
President Barack Obama chided lawmakers Saturday over their fix for widespread flight delays, deeming it an irresponsible way to govern, dubbing it a "Band-Aid" and a quick fix, rather than a lasting solution to the spending cuts known as the sequester.
"Republicans claimed victory when the sequester first took effect, and now they've decided it was a bad idea all along," Obama said, singling out the GOP even though the bill passed with overwhelming Democratic support in both chambers.
He scolded lawmakers for helping the Federal Aviation Administration while doing nothing to replace other cuts that he said harm federal employees, unemployed workers and preschoolers in Head Start.

RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) -- Chevron has resumed operations in a unit at its Bay Area refinery that was shut down after a massive fire last year.
Company officials said during a conference call with analysts Friday that crews had begun feeding crude oil through the unit knocked out by the Aug. 6 fire.
Chevron's chief financial officer, Patricia Yarrington, says the unit at Richmond is expected to be fully operational during the second quarter.
Both Chevron and government investigations have determined that corrosion in a pipe caused a leak that sparked the fire, sending a plume of black smoke over nearby areas.
Since the fire, the refinery had been operating at about 60 percent capacity until very recently. The factory wasn't processing crude oil and instead was being used to blend gasoline.

ROCKY HILL ??
Moving felons into the nursing home at 60 West St. will cause "irreparable harm'' to the Town of Rocky Hill and its residents, attorneys said as they urged the State Appellate Court to fast-track their appeal of the dismissal of the town's lawsuit against the owners of the facility.
The appeal was filed Friday, three days after Superior Court Judge Antonio C. Robaina dismissed Rocky Hill's lawsuit against iCare Management LLC and SecureCare Realty LLC, short-circuiting the town's effort to obtain an injunction against opening the 95-bed skilled nursing facility for prisoners and mental patients.
Robaina ruled that because the nursing home will operate as an arm of the state, the owner and operator enjoy sovereign immunity and can't be sued.
"An injunction against the defendant would clearly impede a governmental function,'' Robaina concluded.
The ruling represented a major setback but did not end the legal war the town has been waging since December, when plans for the state-backed facility were announced.
"The opening and operating of a facility, around residential houses, for convicted felons who are presently serving lengthy sentences is an issue of public interest. Delay in having this appeal addressed would work a substantial injustice,'' stated the eight-page document seeking expedited appeal. It was brought by Town Attorney Morris R. Borea and Proloy K. Das, his associate at the Hartford firm of Rome McGuigan PC.
"We are talking fundamental, bedrock issues,'' Borea said. "We're going to ask the court to decide faster than it usually does."
Borea received authorization Wednesday to appeal Robaina's ruling. He and Das met privately with council members for an hour Friday to discuss what legal options the town could pursue. No other actions were announced.
As of March 31, the town had spent $91,974.84 for legal services to fight the opening of the nursing home.
"There is going to be a point in time where we will have to make a decision that enough is enough,'' conceded Mayor Timothy Moriarty, after meeting with the attorneys. But that point has not been reached. "We haven't had our day in court yet."
Council member Philip J. Sylvestro said he wanted to see the issue pushed "until legal counsel says this is it ? we can't take it any further.
"We're not done yet," he said.
The nursing facility, the first of its kind in Connecticut, is being pushed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration as a means to reduce long-term care costs for chronically and terminally ill inmates and mental patients under state control.
In its appeal, the town argued that Robaina wrongly concluded that the owner and operator of the facility were an "arm of the state," and therefore entitled to sovereign immunity without allowing any pre-trial discovery or evidentiary hearing to establish the claim.
Also, the town argues that the judge violated the town's state constitutional rights under the Home Rule Amendment to control placement of a prison nursing home in a residential neighborhood.
It also says the judge erred by allowing a private company to bypass local zoning regulations by signing a state contract.
Robaina had dismissed that argument, noting "the state's ability to establish a nursing home preempts and surpasses the plaintiff's authority to zone local land use."
The state had planned to begin moving patients into the nursing home in February or March.
That timetable has been delayed by State Department of Public Health relicensing and of completion of various building improvements.
One hurdle was cleared April 8, when the facility was issued a food service license that allows it to prepare meals, said Ed Malik, local sanitarian for the Central Connecticut Health District.
Located in the middle of a residential neighborhood, the nursing home had operated from 1967 until 2011, when it was closed by court order.
The property was purchased in November for $1.9 million by SecureCare Realty, a subsidiary of iCare Management, which had been selected by a trio of state agencies to run a skilled care facility. A contract with iCare Management's operating subsidiary, SecureCare Options LLC, was finalized Jan. 30, 2013.
The state expects that by moving patients into a private facility, it can claim $5.5 million a year in federal Medicaid reimbursement.

Scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Ala., will broadcast live images of the Lyrid meteor shower tonight and early Tuesday (April 22 and 23) for stargazers stuck with bad weather or light-polluted night skies. ?
The NASA broadcast will begin at 8:30 p.m. EDT (0030 April 23) and run throughout the evening. You can watch the Lyrid meteor shower webcast on SPACE.com courtesy of NASA's MSFC feed.
"If you'd like to catch a last look at 2013 Lyrid meteor shower, this is your chance!" MSFC officials said in an announcement today. "Although a bright moon may interfere with viewing, you should still be able to see Lyrid meteors at an anticipated rate of 10-20 meteors per hour."
This year, the Lyrid meteor display runs from April 16 through April 26, though it peaked overnight on April 21 and 22. Because the moon is bright in the evening sky, the best time to look for the Lyrids is in the wee morning hours before dawn, after the moon has set but before the sun rises.
The Lyrid meteor shower occurs each year in mid-April when the Earth passes through a dusty lane of debris left over from Comet Thatcher, which is also known as C/1861 G1 Thatcher. The comet orbits the sun once every 415 years. The Lyrids are created when the comet's dust streaks through Earth's atmosphere at speeds of up to 110,000 mph (177,027 kph). ?
The Lyrids get their name because they appear to radiate out of the constellation Lyra. Humans have been observing the "shooting stars" display for more than 2,600 years, NASA scientists have said.

Well that certainly didn't take long, did it? With only AT&T's variant shipping to pre-order buyers, Sprint's launch mere hours away and T-Mobile's launch pushed back, we now have a root tool available for these Qualcomm-based Galaxy S4's. The tool, created by djrbliss over at XDA, which was originally made for Motorola devices seems to be working for these Galaxy S4 models as well. Many users in that forum thread are reporting that their devices are being successfully rooted with the tool, which simply takes a few steps of setup and running of a program to root the device.
We'd caution against jumping right into rooting at this point if you're unsure of what to do with it on your new device. As the poster points out, with no custom recoveries or stock firmware images available for these devices you may be in for a world of hurt if you make the wrong move with your newly rooted device. As always, proceed with caution here.

Ninety-one per cent of people in France support the French Government's plans to introduce a weekly class in "secular morals" into state schools, according to a recent poll.
The classes will be added to the school curriculums in 2015 to instil in pupils "a culture of responsibility, equality, cooperation and solidarity", the Education Minister Vincent Peillon has announced.
Secular morals (morale la?que) is not a kind of official morality, he said, but "knowledge and understanding of the values, principles and rules that permit us to live together in the Republic according to our common ideal of liberty, equality and fraternity".
He told the daily newspaper Le Monde that France was a free society where "the balance between rights and responsibilities has been broken and the link between the individual and the common good has been undone".
French state schools have lessons in civics and morals, but an official report on the project said teachers focus mostly on civics. Morals are perceived as too close to religion, which cannot be taught in French state schools, but Mr Peillon argues that morals can be taught without any relation to faith.
Details of the new courses have still to emerge and teachers will have to be trained to give them.

MOSCOW (AP) ? A fire swept quickly through a psychiatric hospital outside Moscow early Friday, killing at least 38 people, most of them in their beds, officials said.
Health Ministry officials said that the one-story hospital housed patients with severe mental disorders. Vadim Belovoshin from the emergency situations ministry official told the Itar-TASS news agency that the windows in the hospital were barred but said there were two fire escapes.
Belovoshin also said that it took fire fighters an hour to get to the hospital following an emergency call because a ferry across the canal was closed and the fire fighters had to make a detour.
Officials from the Russian Investigative Committee said they are looking at poor fire regulations and short circuit as possible causes for the hospital fire in the Ramenskoye settlement.
Investigators listed 38 people ? 36 patients and two doctors ? as dead. Only one nurse and two patients managed to escape, according to the health ministry. The emergency services also posted a list of the patients indicating they ranged in age from 20 to 76.
Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyev told Russian state-television that the fire alarm seems to have worked but the fire spread too quickly. Belovoshin said the fire first broke in a wooden annex.
A spokeswoman for the Investigative Committee told Russian news agencies that most of the people died in their beds and did not try to escape.
Deadly fires are common in Russia because of wide-spread violations of fire safety rules.

Women?s health just took a leap forward with the passage of California Senate Bill 1538, authored by former state Senator Joe Simitian, which requires that women with dense breast tissue as determined by a mammogram be informed that they have the condition.
Women with dense breast tissue will be made aware of the fact that a tumor may not be seen on the mammogram, that they are at a higher risk for breast cancer, and that they should talk to a doctor about the condition. They will also be informed about other breast screening options.
This law came about as a suggestion to Mr. Simitian from a local Santa Cruz woman, Amy Colton, who has dense breast tissue and developed breast cancer in spite of having had routine mammograms. Kudos to Amy for championing this issue.
About 40 percent of all women have dense breast tissue, and many are unaware of their condition. Well over half of the cases of breast cancer in these women were missed with only routine mammography.
After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S. Although, we usually associate breast cancer in women, it does occasionally occur in men.
The most common symptoms of breast cancer are:
- A breast lump
- Any change in the nipple, especially discharge or bleeding
- A change to the breast skin, such as the appearance of a dimple or pitting of the skin
- A change in size or shape of the breast
It is not clear why some women get breast cancer and some don?t.
It would seem that breast cancer is caused by an interaction between one?s genetic make-up and/or one?s environment. About 10 percent of breast cancer can be linked to inherited defective genes passed down through generations of a family. Blood tests are available to determine who may have these genes.
Known risk factors for breast cancer are:
- Increasing age ? it?s more common in women older than 55
- A family or personal history of breast cancer
- Inherited genes
- Beginning your period at a young age or beginning menopause at an older age
- Post-menopausal hormone therapy, using a combination of estrogen and progesterone
- Drinking alcohol
Tests and procedures to detect breast cancer include:
- Breast exam, including self-exams as well as routine exams from a doctor
- Mammograms
- Breast ultrasounds
- Using a needle for a biopsy (removing a specimen of the suspected tissue for examination)
Current treatment guidelines for breast cancer are too large of a topic for this report.
Let me just say that tremendous strides are being made in the successful treatment of this disease.
Fortunately, the majority of breast changes do not turn out to be cancerous. Even if you have had a recent normal mammogram, see your doctor if you find any changes in your breasts, and work with your doctor to have routine breast exams and testing.

UFC 159 is just over 48 hours from now. What questions will be answered by Saturday's fights?
Does Chael Sonnen have any real chance at beating UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones? Sonnen's moving up to 205 lbs. after spending his entire UFC career at middleweight. He is 2-3 in his last five fights, with both losses coming to Anderson Silva. Two of those wins were decisions, including a close one with Michael Bisping. Though Sonnen talks a good game, he just isn't on the same level as Jones. Every fighter has a puncher's chance in the cage. Will Sonnen find that one punch to get it done?
Will any punches be thrown in Phil Davis and Vinny Magalhaes' bout? When a Division I NCAA champion wrestler and a world champion jiu-jitsu player face off, will their ground game be neutralized? Watching their match will be like a chess match unfold.
Can Jim Miller change UFC president Dana White's mind about the next lightweight title shot? After Benson Henderson defended the UFC lightweight championship belt, White said the next title shot will go to the winner of Gray Maynard's May bout with T.J. Grant. Miller said this week that he wants to perform so well against Pat Healy that White will be forced to reconsider.
"It all comes down to timing and performances," he said. "I'm looking to make a statement on Saturday night. I'm hoping Dana forgets all the things he just said about the Maynard-Grant fight. It's happened before. Nothing's guaranteed about a No. 1 contender spot. I might (have to do some talking). But I plan on making some noise with my fists and my elbows and my knees."
Will Miller be able to get that title shot he's always wanted?
Can Sheila Gaff's finishing ability neutralize Sara McMann's wrestling? McMann is one of the most well-credentialed wrestlers to ever enter the octagon. She was an Olympic silver medalist in 2004, plus has three medals from world championships. Gaff's last three fights have ended in a first-round knockout, so will she be able to come up with another big finish against McMann's elite wrestling?

Apr. 25, 2013 ? Exciting new data presented today at the International Liver Congress? 2013 include results from early in vitro and in vivo studies targeting covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), which may form the basis of a cure for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
HBV cccDNA is organized into mini-chromosomes within the nucleus of infected cells by histone and non-histone proteins. Despite the availability of efficient therapies against HBV, long-term persistence of cccDNA necessitates life-long treatments to suppress the virus. The following three experimental studies demonstrate effective HBV-cccDNA targeting/depletion using novel therapeutic approaches which offer the potential of a cure.
Liver regeneration induces strong reduction of viral replication and cccDNA levels, but not complete cccDNA eradication; without antiviral treatment, de novo HBV infection can be re-established.
Key findings of research in HBV-infected human hepatocytes using the uPA/SCID chimeric mouse system show that liver regeneration induces strong reduction of viral replication and cccDNA levels, with rapid formation of cccDNA-free hepatocytes. However, because complete cccDNA eradication is not achieved, in the absence of antiviral treatment, de novo HBV infection could be re-established in quiescent (non-dividing) human hepatocytes. This suggests that induction of hepatocyte turn-over together with antiviral drugs inducing viral suppression, such as nucleoside analogues and IFN, or blocking cell entry, may accelerate the clearance of the viral minichromosome.
Targeting epigenetic control of nuclear cccDNA minichromosome to suppress HBV transcription and replication may form basis for other therapeutic approaches to curing chronic HBV infection.
In the infected liver cell the rate of replication of HBV is regulated by the acetylation or methylation of histone proteins which surround the cccDNA minichromosome -- so called epigenetic regulation. In a separate innovative study, the suppression of HBV transcription and replication by small molecules that target the epigenetic control of nuclear cccDNA minichromosome was investigated. The different classes of small molecules studied included: Class I, II and III histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi); p300 and PCAF histone acetyltransferases (HAT) inhibitors; hSirt1 activators; JMJD3 histone demethylase inhibitors.
The combined inhibition of p300 and PCAF HATs resulted in an evident reduction of HBV replication which mirrored the decrease of pgRNA transcription. The hSirt1/2 activator MC2791 and the JMJD3 inhibitor MC3119, albeit with different efficiency, inhibited both HBV replication and cccDNA transcription. Results represent a proof of concept that activation of hSirt1 and Ezh2 (through the inhibition of its functional antagonist JMJD3) by small molecules can induce an active epigenetic suppression of HBV cccDNA minichromosome similar to that observed with IFN?, and lead to persistent cccDNA silencing.
Lymphtoxin beta receptor (LTbR) agonisation represents basis for novel alternative therapeutic approach to curing chronic HBV infection.
The final study demonstrated that stimulating the lymphtoxin beta receptor (LTbR) provides an effective, long lasting and non-cytopathic mechanism for achieving effective HBV-cccDNA depletion in infected hepatocytes. Cell culture models including HBV-infected HepaRG cells and primary human hepatocytes were used to test the effect of antibodies stimulating human LTbR (BS1 or CBE11). Results show that a strong and dose-dependent anti-HBV effect was achieved by activation of the LTbR. All HBV replication markers were decreased with this treatment, including cccDNA in cells where HBV infection was already established.
Hepatitis B is the most prevalent cause of chronic viral hepatitis and a major global health problem. Prof. Fabien Zoulim, EASL Educational Councillor commented on the exciting new data: "In chronic hepatitis B infection, the viral genome forms a stable minichromosome -- the covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) -- which can persist throughout the lifespan of the hepatocyte."
"Current treatments focus on suppression of HBV and discovery of compounds directly targeting cccDNA has been one of the major challenges to curing HBV infection; but these preliminary data show novel therapeutic approaches can be applied to successfully target cccDNA with the long-term aspiration of finding a cure" added Prof. Fabien Zoulim.
