&amp;gt; The FDA has conceded that maybe, just maybe, it will need more money if it&#039;s going to do a good job of inspecting foreign drug manufacture sites. &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiercepharma.com/story/fda-backpedals-on-inspection-funding/2008-05-02&quot;&gt;FiercePharma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; Swedish researchers are launching a study of a new vaccine which could help people stop smoking. &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiercebioresearcher.com/vaccines/story/swedish-researchers-launch-anti-smoking-vax-trial/2008-05-01&quot;&gt;FierceVaccines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; A group of Jacksonville, FL-area hospitals have begun to let their patients pay bills online. &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiercehealthfinance.com/story/case-study-fl-hospitals-offer-online-payments/2008-04-30&quot;&gt;FierceHealthFinance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; Is it a violation of EMTALA to tell an uninsured ED patient what his treatment will cost? Apparently, it could be. &lt;a href=&quot;http://erstories.net/?p=309&quot;&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;And Finally... &lt;/strong&gt;This hospital CEO says she&#039;s run a hospital previously... but won&#039;t say where. Yes, you read that right. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ajc.com/search/content/metro/stories/2008/05/02/grady.html&quot;&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt;
