December sales results affirm nation's retailers fears
The pollsters weren't wrong this time. When it came to the holiday shopping season, consumers voted as cautiously as many prognosticators had forecast -- and the nation's retailers had feared. December sales results poured in yesterday from retail chains selling everything from clothes to jewelry to perfume to toys. The picture that emerged showed consumers avoiding many stores early last month, then turning out for discounts offered closer to Christmas that still didn't drive enough sales to make up for the slow start. Department store operator Macy's posted a deeper-than-expected dip of 7.9 percent in sales at established stores, while discounter Target showed a 5 percent drop and South Side specialty retailer American Eagle Outfitters reported a 2 percent decrease.

VIDEO: MRSA alert at the Royal Bolton Hospital
This will take place at the hospital, at GP surgeries or at clinics. Those found to be carrying MRSA or C-difficile who are not in need of urgent medical attention could be sent home with antibiotics. Hospital bosses hope the carpet and chair replacement plan will be funded by a bid for a £200,000 Government grant. The moves have been proposed because replacement chairs and flooring would be more easily cleaned and less likely to promote the spread of infection. Although rates of MRSA and the C-difficile are falling, Lesley Doherty, the hospital's director of nursing and performance management, admits MRSA infection rate targets are not being met. In the seven months up until the end of November last year, there were 26 cases of MRSA.
House prices up 2.3 percent
Housing market research company Hometrack said house prices rose 2.3 percent on a year ago in January, down from 3 percent in December and the weakest rate since June 2006. On the month, prices fell 0.3 percent, the fourth consecutive monthly fall. The figures are not adjusted to take seasonal factors into account. The survey adds to a growing body of evidence showing the once red-hot housing market is cooling fast as past interest rate rises and the global credit crisis deter buyers. "Weak confidence among would-be purchasers continues to put downward pressure on house prices although the scale of the recent falls is relatively small when put in the context of gains over the last few years," said Richard Donnell, Hometrack's Director of Research.
