As families prepare for the winter months ahead, Kidde wants to remind them of the importance of equipping their homes with working carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Winter is the peak season for CO poisonings, but with Kidde’s new Worry-Free Plug-In Carbon Monoxide alarms, safety can be made simple for homeowners. Kidde, a leading manufacturer of residential fire safety products, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTX).
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CO is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths, and claims more than 400 lives each year. In addition, more than 20,000 people visit the emergency room and more than 4,000 are hospitalized due to accidental CO poisoning annually. CO is produced anytime a fuel is burned and two-thirds of Americans use gas, wood, kerosene, or another fuel source to heat their homes – while only 50 percent have working CO alarms in their homes. The only way to detect CO is to have working alarms on every level of a home and in every bedroom.
“With winter quickly approaching, we want to make sure that families are protecting themselves from the dangers of carbon monoxide,” said Jon Hughes, director of product administration, Kidde. “CO alarms provide a critical alert for homeowners when CO is present. Kidde is committed to raising awareness about the importance of working alarms that could mean the difference between life and death.”

Shares of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:APC), inclined 1.95% to $46.56, during its last trading session.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, declared extensions to the maturity dates of its credit facilities and also offered an interim update on its fourth-quarter performance.
Anadarko extended the maturity of its $3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility to January 2021 and received commitments to renew its $2 billion 364-day credit facility upon its expiration in January 2016, to a new maturity in 2017, further supporting the company’s strong liquidity position. These extensions were achieved with no changes to covenants or pricing and with 100-percent participation from the company’s bank group.
Operationally, performance continues to exceed expectations across the portfolio. Production improvements relative to guidance are being driven by the company’s core oil-producing areas in the Wattenberg field and the Delaware Basin. As a result, the company is increasing the midpoint of its fourth-quarter oil sales-volume guidance by more than 15,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) to a range of 314,000 to 319,000 BOPD. This outperformance is the primary contributor to a 2-million-BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) improvement in the company’s total fourth-quarter sales-volume guidance, resulting in a new range of 70 to 72 million BOE.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation engages in the exploration, development, production, and marketing of oil and gas properties. It operates through three segments: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production; Midstream; and Marketing. The Oil and Gas Exploration and Production segment explores for and produces natural gas, oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids (NGLs).

The majority of patients, primary care physicians, specialists, and administrators still do not believe that the U.S. healthcare system on the right track. However, there is growing optimism among certain subgroups such as younger physicians and administrators. A new report released recently by Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) and Ipsos Public Affairs, “How We View Health Care in America: Consumer and Provider Perspectives,” assesses the current state of and outlook for healthcare by examining the opinions of healthcare consumers and providers.
Kevin Vigilante, Booz Allen Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, says, “More than five years into healthcare reform, it’s clear that perceptions among those who receive, deliver, and manage care are shifting. This report offers insight into levels of satisfaction with services, prevention, and use of technology to manage health.”
The survey, conducted annually, comprises responses from more than 1,000 U.S. adults and over 400 healthcare providers. The data collected suggests that while providing consumers with access to top-quality care at a reasonable cost may be the overarching aim of the U.S. healthcare system, groups responsible for making that a reality see the future differently and often have their own priorities to address within that larger context.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation provides administration consulting, technology, and engineering services to corporations, institutions, not-for-profit organizations, and the U.S. government in defense, intelligence, and civil markets in the United States and internationally.
