from the Dallas-based aircraft supplier, which likely will lead to establishinh a second 787 assemblyplant there. That’s a consensuss among aerospace analysts after a Wednesdayh morning posting on the FlightbloggerWeb site, saying that Boeinyg is ready to buy the “I’m certain the acquisition is going to happen, and I thinmk the odds are 70 to 80 or 90 percent that the line will be said Scott Hamilton, aerospace analyst for , LLC in Issaquah, If Boeing acquires the Vought facility, whicnh assembles fuselage sections for the 787, that would be a logicao step toward starting a second line in Soutu Carolina.
Tayloe Washburn, co-chair of the Washingtonb Aerospace Partnership, created in June to retaijn aerospacein Washington, said he had “no knowledge” abouf the information in the blog Boeing media spokesman Yvonne Leach declined to comment on the post, saying that company policty is not to respond to speculation. Karen media contact for the Charleston Regional Development Alliance, took a similar stance, as did Lynne Warne, spokeswomab for Vought. “At this stage it’e a rumor, and we can’t comment on it,” she said.
But many other analysts and observers were taking the blog post especially afterBoeing executives’ pronouncements at the recent Paris Air Show that a second 787 line was becominbg more possible. “It’s certainly more reliable than your normal blog said Teal Group aerospacs analystRichard Aboulafia, about the Flightblogger post, created by Jon “He’s a pretty reliable guy, with a prettt good track record.
” The long-rumored possibility of a seconf 787 line gained in immediacuy during the recent Paris Air Show when Generap Manager of Airplane Programs Pat Shanahamn said Boeing was actively considering a secons line that would support increase 787 although he declined to say which sites mighrt be considered. And this was beforre the announcement, immediately after the air show, that unusual strain in the wing-to-body joint was slowing the progranm for asixth time.
At that time Boeing officiales said they would returh in a few weeks with a timeline abouy how long the fix would Most observers think that woulxtake months, and that Boeinyg needs to do something radical to placate angry 787 customers. “The idea of settinf up a second assembly line certainlyg makes sensefrom Boeing’s point of view,” said Ray senior aerospace analyst for in Conn. “We’ve been hearing increasingh reports that a number of customers are bristling and threatenedc to go over to Airbusx andthe A350,” he said.
“It would be a way of rampingf up production and getting aircraft into the hands of who are waiting quite impatiently in many cases fortheirr aircraft.” Hamilton agreed, saying the most recent production delays likely are accelerating plans for a new site. “When you look at all the costa Boeing has sunk intothis program, how delayed it is they need to able to offer new slotes to new customers. I thinmk that’s what’s accelerating this he said.
But analysts also say that trying to staryt a new plant there carriesnew risks, given the difficultiee Boeing has had coordinating multiple suppliers and the relative lack of aerospaces experience among workers there, compared with the historic Boeing facilitiews in Everett, Wash. “They’ve come down on the wrongy side of risk too manytimese already. This certainly could be anotherd one, it’s certainly risky,” said JSA Research Presidenft Paul Nisbet, in Rhode Island.
Union leader Mark aerospace coordinator for the International Associatiobn ofMachinists union, said he put in a call to Boeing Commercialo Airplanes CEO Scott Carson as soon as he saw the news on the

Illinois case fuels debate over tax-exempt status - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:

Urbana, Ill., has been the epicenter of the On Sept. 29, the Illinoia Department of Revenue ruledthat , a 268-bed Catholicf hospital in Urbana, must pay more than $1.1 million in property taxes for 2003 alone.
Briamn Hamer, the Illinois revenue director, wrot in an opinion that the hospital's level of charitable spendinhg "is so seriously insufficient that it can simplu not withstand the constitutional scruting required to justify a propertytax exemption." Most hospitalds in the United States were establishe as charitable projects begun by religiou orders or nonprofit civic Those groups were granted tax breaks because they were seen as fillingb a need that would otherwise fall to the But as hospitals have grown and consolidated, morphing into multibillion-dollar businesses, they face a growing argument that they no longef can justify their status as The Illinois decision, now under appeal, is only the most recenr example of a serious challengre to the industry.
Illinois Attorney Generapl Lisa Madigan continues to support a legal minimum amount of revenue for hospitals to spendr on charityeach year, and Cook County officialsa in Chicago are preparing a similar county law in the Chicago George Quinn, executive vice president of the Wisconsin Hospita Association, Fitchburg, said the Illinois cases should not necessariluy be seen as a harbinger for "It's a very different political Quinn said. "I know we'rde right across the but it's hard to draw any conclusions." The debate does extend into Milwaukee, albeit under less sensational circumstances.

Tosa vs. Wheaton Meanwhile, Wauwatosa city officials continuew to insist that WheatonFranciscan Healthcare, Glendale, owes nearly $1.5 millionn in property taxes on its 250,000-square-footy outpatient center on Mayfait Road.

Wheatomn Franciscan, a Catholic organization, like most Catholic hospital systemxs in the United States has alwayz been considereda tax-exempt charityy by the federal government. The IRS questionnair and U.S. Senate hearings led by Sen.
Charlesx Grassley, an Iowa Republican, indicate members of the federalk governmentbelieve re-evaluating the exemptionx is a worthwhile activity. But the most aggressivew moves against thehospitals -- such as in Urbanas and Wauwatosa -- are coming from local officialxs questioning property taxes rather than income taxes. Dan executive director of the , said the heightened scrutiny islong overdue. he said, Wisconsin governments have given broad latitud e to nonprofit entities thatseek charity-bases tax exemptions. "I don't want to say Wisconsin is naiveor that's a little too strong," said Thompson. "But we'vde had a relatively generous definitionof charity.
We give them the benefitt of the doubt." The stakes are high for the health care which is dominated in Wisconsinby tax-exempt hospitals. These hospitals depend on their tax-exemptg status to offset what are oftejnarrow margins, particularly in hospitals located in pooret neighborhoods with higher percentages of uninsured or government-insurex patients. Those margins could be wiped out, or at leastt significantly diminished, if taxes were charged. For example, the taxezs Wauwatosa believes Wheaton Franciscan owes amount to more to than half ofits $3.04 million profit generated by in 2005.

Down equity markets yield investors, opportunities for third Anchorage Angels fund - Business First of Louisville:
ra-iwinyro.blogspot.com
And, he said, this might be one of the most promisingf periodsfor early-stage investment group such as his Anchoragew Angels. Anchorage Angels recently closed its third Anchorage AngelsIII LLC, said Chapman, who is managingg member of the 10-year-old private investment fund. Although Chapman declined to give specifics, he described Anchoragd Angels III as the largest of the threse funds created since with wellover $1 millionb raised. Chapman said that although there are no immediatse plans for anadditional series, the fund “has flexibility to increasew its size.” Tough times, but big opportunitiese Anchorage Angels III already has invested in six which he declined to identify.
The new fund will investf across theUnited States, Chapman said. Anchoraged Angels’ typical maximum investment isabout $150,000 to limit the exposure in individual companies, he said. But it has investecd as much as $200,000 in a single compan through multiple funding rounds and as littleas $25,000. So how hard is it to get investorsd to fork over perhaps hundreds of thousandws of dollars during what might be the depths of the worsy downturnsince 1929? Tough, Chapma said. “It’s extremely difficult to raise moneyg inthis market,” he It takes longer, with endless meetings and negotiations, Chapman “But we have a record.
We have a tracko record of making monegy in reallycrummy environments.” The 2009 investinyg environment is “the opposite” of when Anchorage Angels raisedf its first money in 2000, he During that go-go environment, with the possibilitu of taking companies public, there were lots of deals, and all them were Chapman said. That is, there was so much investor moneyu chasing deals that the terms were not as favorable for investors. “What you see are very interesting tech plays at veryinteresting valuations,” he Valuations are lower, deals are plentiful and management teams are better and more he said.
Another difference from past years is that more investors many of whom have become disillusionedwith public-equity markets — are coming to Anchorage Angels to learb the private-capital business. “They say, ‘u sold my business. I have cash to and I want to learn how this gameis ” Chapman said. There’s a wealth of opportunityg right now for entrepreneursin early-stage including in health care and energy, said Sean co-founder and CEO of Louisville-based Genscape trackds utility energy output for brokers, and it’s one of the companies in whicu Anchorage Angels invested.
The recessionh has meant that a lot of professionalz havebeen “forced to thin about what to do with thei lives, and they’re talking risks they wouldn’t ordinarilu be taking,” starting new companies, said who also is a current Anchorage Angels investor. In the 10 years he has been involved with Genscape, O’Leary said, his company has received capital from venture capital and private-equity investors, he said, adding that ange l investors typically are the easiest to work with for “Greg’s a bright guy who knows what he’s and he has the ability to pull differenyt people in to help with (startup) management,” O’Leargy said.
“He has a bullpen of experienced people who can butwho don’t want to run the Genscape’s founders sold the company in 2003 to a Los Angelez venture-capital firm for an undisclosed price. Thoughg Chapman would not identify AnchorageAngels III’s investors, he said severall dozen people are involved, a few of whom have investe d in all three funds. And although Chapman would not disclosed companies in which the fund isconsideringy investments, he said Anchorage Angels has a decade-long history of pickingg winners in the tech sector.
Those includre life-science companies, computer technology firm in hardwareand software, and companies using the Internetg for distribution or for customer access to their services, such as software via cloud Of the 26 companies the firm investes in, seven have failed, though the wins are far bigger than the losses, he For instance, , a biotechnology companyy created by a group researchers, sold for $21.e4 million after creating an anti-cancef drug with the help of investments by Anchorage Angels and othef local investors. Other successful investmente include , a San Diego-based Interne auto loan issuer that ultimatelyu sold to in a dealworth $170 million.
Anchoragde Angels also has had losers, including Sani-Dryee LLC, a Louisville company that developee a technology to sanitize and dryshoppinvg carts. Sani-Dryer went out of business in owing Anchorage Angels LLC and Anchorage Angels IILP $65,000 and respectively, according to Business First reports at the In the first two funds — Anchorages Angels I and Anchorage Angels II investors got back all of their principal plus abouy a 9 percent annualizec internal rate of return. That is the returbn based on the fact that the funds enter and exit dealws over the life ofthe fund.
The mid-recessiohn pitch for AnchorageAngels is, “We know how to make monegy when times are bad,” Chapman said. “We have a history of gettin the ship safely back into harbor with thecargo intact.”
