State pharmacy robberies more than doubled

Posted: Published on January 3rd, 2013

Yesterday at 9:06 PM While 2012 numbers for fires, traffic deaths and homicides were down, drug addicts became more brazen. By DAVID SHARP The Associated Press PORTLAND - Pharmacy robberies in Maine more than doubled last year over 2011, and police are concerned the robberies are becoming more brazen. There were 56 pharmacy robberies last year, with drug addicts taking increasingly desperate measures, said Steve McCausland of the Department of Public Safety. In one instance, a man robbed a pharmacy inside a Wal-Mart filled with customers in broad daylight. "These are desperate acts by desperate people, and from a law enforcement perspective it's extremely troubling because of potential violence," McCausland said. The troubling trend that led a national pharmacy chain to post armed security guards and the establishment of a state panel to identify solutions came in a year that otherwise was relatively safe, McCausland said. The number of homicides for the year stood at 22, slightly below the 10-year average. Several, including a triple homicide in which the victims were left in a burning car in Bangor, were drug-related, police said. The number of fire deaths stood at 19, down from 23 in 2011 but far below the average … Continue reading

This Struggling Pharmacy Ended 2012 On a High Note

Posted: Published on January 3rd, 2013

By Eric Novinson - January 2, 2013 | Tickers: CVS, RAD, WMT, WAG | 0 Comments Eric is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinions of our bloggers and are not formally edited. Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) investors finally got their turnaround signal, as generic drug sales and efficiency gains helped return the pharmacy chain to profitability last quarter. A profitable Rite Aid poses a bigger challenge for CVS (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreens (NYSE: WAG) as well, and these competitors can also benefit from a major trend that helped Rite Aid during the quarter. Rite Aid has three main arguments in its favor right now. Valuation Rite Aid looks very cheap for a major, national drugstore chain. The pharmacy traded below $1 a share several times in 2012. On Dec. 19, 2012, before its earnings release, the pharmacy's shares traded at $1.04. The earnings release the next day started an uptrend in Rite Aid's shares, and Rite Aid held on to most of its gains, closing at $1.36 on Dec. 31, 2012. Because of Rite Aid's past losses, forecasts based on the drugstore's prior earnings history might not account for its current potential. … Continue reading

Pharmacy robberies in Maine double in 2012

Posted: Published on January 3rd, 2013

PORTLAND, Maine Pharmacy robberies in Maine more than doubled last year over 2011, and police are concerned the robberies are becoming more brazen. There were 56 pharmacy robberies last year, with drug addicts taking increasingly desperate measures, said Steve McCausland of the Department of Public Safety. In one instance, a man robbed a pharmacy inside a Walmart filled with customers in broad daylight. "These are desperate acts by desperate people, and from a law enforcement perspective, it's extremely troubling because of potential violence," McCausland said. The troubling trend that led a national pharmacy chain to post armed security guards and the establishment of a state panel to identify solutions came in a year that otherwise was relatively safe, McCausland said. Suspects who robbed pharmacies at a rate of more than one per week last year were seeking narcotics for the most part. Common targets were oxycodone, the key ingredient in the painkiller OxyContin, and hydrocodone, the ingredient in painkillers Vicodin and Xanax, a drug used to treat anxiety and panic attacks. There were no deaths or injuries during the robberies, but police fear that could change as drug addicts, sometimes armed, become increasingly erratic. In Bangor, a man charged with … Continue reading

Hi. This is Dr. Jim Craig, with Summerbrook Dental Group, here to talk about a question many patients have had about sleep dentistry, one of the many topics the dentist Aurora CO residents go to get asked. Sleep dentistry is not really an appropriate term, in my opinion, because when you're sedated at your dental office, you're in a state of sedation, not in a state of sleep. When you're sedated at the dental office, there can be many different forms of sedation or ways to cut your anxiety. You can do laughing gas, which many patients are familiar with. You can also pick up a prescription at your pharmacy for a pill that you can take before you arrive at your dentist to help cut some of that anxiety. We can also do sedation through pills, and as a dentist in Aurora CO, we are licensed to do pill sedation dentistry. In addition, you can do sedation through an IV, where we … Continue reading
