Get Garcia, Get Results: International Adoption in Jeopardy

An Arcadia mother was trying to adopt a disabled boy who lived with her family for years when an apparent clerical error threatened to derail the process. Ana Garcia reports for NBC4 News at 11 p.m. on Sept. 20, 2012

To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade?: iPhone 5 Storage Space

With the Friday release of Apple's iPhone 5, users are facing a quandary: to upgrade or not to upgrade? Senior analyst Wayne Lam says each 16 gigabytes of memory costs Apple about $10, but consumers pay closer to $100 for each upgrade -- a 10-fold increase. Ana Garcia reports for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on Sept. 21, 2012.

They are the easiest pests to bring home and one of the toughest to eliminate: bed bugs. And theyve catapulted Los Angeles to the top of an unsavory list.

In 2011, LA was one of the five most infested cities in the country and for the throngs of Angelenos who rent their homes, getting rid of the tiny bugs can be even tougher.

Still, renters have rights. Tormented by bed bugs, Claudine Penedo and Georgia Shiner called on the NBC4 Get Garcia Team to investigate the infestation.

I flip my cases over, I flip my bed over, every day, every night and I still get bit, Penedo said.

Its so frustrating and stressful, I cant even have people in my home, she said. I feel like a leper.

When the single mother moved into her Valley Village apartment in January she had no idea that the woman living below her had been battling bed bugs for nearly three years.

Ministers worried about apartments

Posted on September 30, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A group of Indianapolis ministers wants the owner of a troubled apartment complex to be evicted. The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance calls the apartment complex a "deplorable breeding ground for trouble and destitution."

Keystone North Apartments formerly known as the Phoenix Apartments are located about a mile north of the Indiana State Fairgrounds along Keystone Avenue.

The Ministerial Alliance says billionaire Warren Buffett and his team have expressed interest in revamping the complex. One year ago, Buffett poured millions of dollars into the same neighborhood.

The Ministerial Alliance crafted a letter in July to the owner of the complex from Connecticut. In the letter, the group calls for the owner to "cease and desist" ownership of the apartments. They call for the owner to either sell it or spend the millions it will take to bring it up to standards.

The letter says the residents of the apartment complex have told them about an infestation of rats, cockroaches, bed bugs and other pests at the apartment complex. They also complained about mold, lead-based paint, asbestos and health and fire code violations. The ministers say the tenants feel like prisoners in their own homes because of the "shootings, stabbings, open-air drug dealing and fighting" that are all too frequent.

"We don't want it shut down. We want those people to have a roof over their head. We want them to have a quality place to live," said Dr. Michael Bluitt of the Ministerial Alliance.

24-Hour News 8's Adrienne Broaddus spoke to ten residents at the complex Tuesday. None of the residents were willing to talk on camera but all agreed something needs to change.

One woman said, "This is bed bug palace. It's not the best, but I can't go anywhere else."

Two of the residents we spoke to said fights happen every day. While we were on scene, police responded to an issue near the back of the complex. The residents also told us that Sheriff's deputies normally patrol the area. One woman said that in order to enter the property, you must show proof of residency. If you don't, you risk being arrested for trespassing.

The ministers, however, point to investment that has been made to improve the neighboring Avondale Meadows. They believe the blight of the Keystone North Apartments are blocking progress to improve the overall community.

Business Briefs: PNC not seeking mergers or acquisitions right now

PNC not seeking mergers or acquisitions right now

PNC Financial Services Group, which acquired about 400 bank branches in the Southeast from Royal Bank of Canada in March, is not interested in more mergers or acquisitions, Chairman and CEO James Rohr said Monday. Because of the potential for internal growth, "We have little or no interest in using our capital for M&A at this time," Mr. Rohr said during a financial services conference hosted by Barclays in New York City. Loan demand continued to grow for the Pittsburgh-based bank in the third quarter, although at a slightly slower pace than in the first half of the year when it "was perhaps the highest in the industry," Mr. Rohr said. Overall, Mr. Rohr said he expected PNC's results for the second half this year to be stronger than the first, "resulting in another good year for PNC."

Ross Park among sites for Microsoft holiday store

Microsoft plans to open more than 30 holiday stores this fall, including one at Ross Park Mall. In addition to carrying the company's line of products, the holiday stores are meant to teach customers how to "get the most out of their Microsoft-enabled devices," the announcement from the Redmond, Wash., computer giant said. Ross Park Mall already houses an Apple store, selling products from the Cupertino, Calif., rival to Microsoft.

FedEx to take sponsorship of Heinz Field's Great Hall

FedEx has taken over sponsorship of the Great Hall inside Heinz Field, according to the Steelers organization. The facility had been sponsored by Coca-Cola until earlier this year when the team switched soft drink sponsors to go with Pepsi. The new sponsorship deal is for 10 years, and is effective immediately. No financial details were given. Shipping giant FedEx is based in Memphis, Tenn., but its FedEx Ground division is based in Moon. The Great Hall is used to house historic memorabilia as well as the new Pub 33, and TV shows such as "Steelers Huddle" and the "McDonald's Steelers KidZone" are taped there.

FTC files charges over bed bug repellent claims

The Federal Trade Commission filed deceptive advertising charges against two marketers for claiming that their products can stop and prevent bed bug infestations using natural ingredients such as cinnamon and cedar oil. The marketer of Rest Easy repellent settled the charges by agreeing not to make unsupported claims. A $265,000 judgment against the company was suspended because of the inability to pay, the FTC said. The other marketer, Cedarcide Industries and others, which touts Best Yet! treatment for bed bugs and head lice, is being sued by the agency.

Executives, jobs dwindling at Eastman Kodak

Bankrupt photography pioneer Eastman Kodak Co. is losing more executives and plans to cut an additional 1,000 jobs by the end of the year as it shrinks into a commercial printing-focused company, the Rochester, N.Y.-based company said in a statement Monday.

Bed bugs boom tracked using DNA

Posted on July 11, 2012 by vancouver Click Here For Article

11 July 2012 Last updated at 09:53 By Victoria Gill Science reporter, BBC Nature, Ottawa, Canada

Biologist Toby Fountain is fascinated by bed bugs.

He was originally intrigued by their "traumatic" reproductive behaviour; males injecting sperm directly into females' abdomens.

But Toby is now leading a study to find out why the infamous insects have spread so much in the last decade.

He and his colleagues are using DNA fingerprinting techniques in an effort to track down the origin of the great bed bug boom.

He discussed his project at the First Joint Congress for Evolutionary Biology in Ottawa.

The global surge in bed bugs, Toby explained, was first documented just after the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

"It's been getting more and more prevalent since then," says the scientist.

The cost of the spread has been exorbitant, although the exact figure is difficult to estimate, it has been placed in the tens of millions.

Primarily, this cost comes from law suits against hotels that are accused of being infested and leaving their guests badly bitten.
