Beautiful Mountain Lion Killed By SUV In Connecticut
The Eastern mountain lion was declared extinct in March by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but it looks like one hardy cat may have been keeping his species alive in the wilds of Connecticut. Or maybe it was just a different subspecies of mountain lion that escaped or was released by some sick bastard illegally keeping him as a pet. Either way, the kitty was killed by an SUV Saturday morning. But are there more out there?
Residents of fancy Greenwich, Connecticut and other towns have been reporting sighting mountain lions for weeks, and despite the death of this one, Greenwich police continue to receive reports of the ferocious felines. But authorities are urging citizens to remain calm , and they've decided that this was the only mountain lion roaming around. "DEP continues to believe that the animal killed in Milford was indeed the one seen in Greenwich," DEP Deputy Commissioner Susan Frechette told reporters yesterday. "Until we have something that we can really go on — a fresh paw print, a photo — we will go on the assumption that there is only one."
The 140-pound cat may have escaped from domestic captivity (which is illegal), but maybe not—he was lean, not declawed, and not neutered. Scientists will conduct a necropsy to determine what kind of diet it had been surviving on, and also to figure out if it's a South American or North American mountain lion. ( The Hartford Courant reports that most of the mountain lions in the pet trade come from South America.) Officials say the last confirmed sighting of a mountain lion in the area was in the 19th century; the eastern mountain lion was relentlessly hunted and trapped until it disappeared forever.
Still, the DEP advises Connecticut residents to "watch their children, watch their pets," and not leave any pet food outside. Two seniors citizens who regularly walk in Milford told Fox CT yesterday, "We decided to pick up a few sticks" for protection during their stroll. (A laser pointer couldn't hurt, either.) Locals swear there are more of them out there, and they don't trust the DEP one bit. But a government spokesman tells the Times , "We’ve never been presented with any credible evidence of a native population. There is a school of thought out there that we are knowingly denying it, but there is no reason the Department of Environmental Protection would do that." He then presumably cut the interview short and boarded a helicopter transporting him to his cougar-proof bunker deep under Greenwich Town Hall.

More Examples of US Hospital Market Consolidation: Connecticut and ...
Rising costs and reductions in government reimbursements related to health care reform could lead to consolidation among the state�s 29 acute care hospitals in the coming months and years, industry experts said.
Indeed signs of consolidation in Connecticut are already taking shape. Danbury and New Milford hospitals, for example, recently signed an affiliation agreement that will put both organizations under the control of a single corporate parent.
Meanwhile, the Central Connecticut Health Alliance, which is the parent company of the Hospital of Central Connecticut, has signed a memorandum of understanding to affiliate with Hartford Healthcare. If that deal gets federal regulatory approval, the two organizations would be integrated under the Hartford Healthcare umbrella.
.‘There are a lot of hospitals that are struggling financially and I think the changes that health care reform is going to bring with reimbursements could be the straw that breaks the camel�s back,’ said Vincent Capece, the senior vice president and chief operating officer of Middletown-based Middlesex Hospital, which has nearly 300 beds. ‘It will force hospitals to either go out of business, or find a partner.’
Mergers or partnerships allow smaller, independent hospitals to leverage the purchasing power of larger institutions � especially with insurance companies � and consolidate backroom or administrative services . Three community facilities here have set their course toward consolidation by joining � or announcing plans to join � large systems.
This month, Health Central, the last independent hospital in Orange County, voiced its intention to partner with a hospital chain. In July, the Wuesthoff hospital system in Brevard County was purchased by a for-profit corporation in Naples that owns 60 hospitals across the country. And on July 1, a partnership between Bert Fish Medical Center and Florida Hospital took effect, giving the system the option to buy the New Smyrna Beach facility.
In Orlando, two major hospital chains dominate: Orlando Health, which owns all or part of eight hospitals, and Florida Hospital, which owns or operates 13 hospitals in Central Florida and 18 throughout the state.Both are likely suitors for Health Central, which operates a 171-bed hospital, a nursing home and other health-care services in west Orange County.
Officials from Orlando Health did not respond to requests for interviews.
