Consequences of H-0=69+/-8km s(-1) Mpc(-1) from cepheid variables in the Leo I group

We examine the consequences of the value of H-0 = 69 +/- 8 km s(-1) Mpc(-1) by Tanvir et al., which is based on the HST Cepheid observation of M96 in Leo I group and smaller by 10%-15% than those derived from surface brightness fluctuation method (SBF), planetary nebulae luminosity function method (PNLF), and Tully-Fisher relation. If we take the HST Cepheid distance of M96 as the correct distance of the Leo I group, there are discrepancies beyond the nominal error in the distance of the Leo I and the Virgo cluster among SBF, PNLF, Tully-Fisher relation, and Cepheids. We argue that the zero-point error of 10%-15% level in the SBF and PNLF distances is the most probable cause of the discrepancy.
