Our European operations are headquartered outside of London. We have one product on the market in North America, Argatroban. That is the only product in our portfolio that was not home-grown. That was licensed from Mitsubishi in the early ’90s and is marketed in North America by GlaxoSmithKline, so it is a source of royalty revenue to us. And then our second product and our lead internal product is THELIN. As was mentioned by Geoff, THELIN is approved in Europe. It is just in the launch process now, so it has been launched in the UK and Germany.
Republicans May Face Backlash Over Bush’s Iraq Troop Buildup
Bloomberg – Jan 11, 2007
11 (Bloomberg) — George W. Bush's decision to send21,500 more troops to Iraq has members of his own party scaredthat the strategy could fail and cause voters to turn onRepublicans in 2008 in a replay of the midterm elections. Bush, outlining his troop buildup in a prime-time addresslast night, said a beefed-up U. force will restore order to achaotic Baghdad and provide incentives for Iraq's government tostep up home-grown security measures. Publicly, most Republican leaders have closed ranks aroundthe commander-in-chief, asserting the troop infusion is a short-term step that deserves a chance to work. Yet some Republicanswho have rallied around the White House in the past are nowdistancing themselves from the buildup.
Six Britons to go on trial over London bomb plot
Washington Post – Jan 11, 2007
The trial, which will take place at the high-securityWoolwich Crown Court in east London, will be one of the mosthigh-profile anti-terrorism cases in Britain in recent years. The jury was expected to be sworn in following legalargument on Thursday with the prosecution unveiling its case atthe start of the trial on Monday. The deadly attacks on July 7 were the first by suicidebombers in Western Europe and the government has sinceincreased security to prevent a repeat by home-grown Islamistmilitants, angered by British foreign policy. The suspected plot, which detectives say failed because thedevices did not detonate, sparked one of Britain’s biggestmanhunts. It came after four British Islamists blew up devices onthree underground trains and a double decker bus on July 7using homemade bombs hidden in rucksacks. The attacks left thebombers and 52 commuters dead with more than 700 othersinjured. The main suspects now facing trial were apprehended justover a week after the suspected plot was to be carried out.
‘Mosque’ finds an audience

All the hype and controversy paid off: CBC-TV’s Little Mosque on the Prairie had a smash debut Tuesday evening. According to the Nielsen "overnights," the average per-minute audience for the half hour comedy was 2,090,000. That, according to CBC, is "a record for a home-grown series debut," although CBC’s own Anne of Avonlea did better with 2. 5 million-plus in 1990. But these are different times. So CBC can cheer that Little Mosque’s opener earned about half a million viewers more than CTV’s comic hit Corner Gas regularly gets. That’s Survivor-level numbers.
German official condemns burka
International Herald Tribune – Jan 11, 2007
Integration requires communication, and we don’t want to isolate each other. ” Schäuble, a leader of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center right Christian Democratic Union, added that he wanted to make Muslim integration a key issue of the six-month EU presidency, which began this month. Alluding to the recent terrorist plots in Britain, Denmark and Germany — which are alleged to have been perpetrated by second-generation home-grown radicals — he said it was essential to prevent the entrenchment of “parallel communities” where Muslims lived on the fringes of European society. Pointing to a values gap apparent in some elements of Islam, he noted that Christianity had undergone an Enlightenment after the excesses of the Crusades, while parts of the Islamic world had not experienced it. He added that Muslims in Germany needed to accept universal human rights, including the equal treatment of men and women.
Dave Lindorff: Bush’s Address: Blood For Face!

He also managed to usurp powers from Congress and undermine the Constitution, again by playing commander-in-chief. But his war didn't go as planned. The Iraqi people didn't want to be invaded, much less occupied, and a home-grown insurgency in that ravaged nation of 24 million, armed with just RPGs and AK-47 rifles, has brought the world's most powerful military to its knees. Rather than admit that his Iraq adventure has been an unmitigated disaster — one that has essentially handed the world's third largest oil-producing nation over to the control of its neighbor, Iran — Bush has decided to escalate the slaughter. The 21,500 additional troops, 17,500 of whom will be in Baghdad, and 4,000 of whom will be in Anbar, will be fighting the overwhelmingly popular Mahdi army of Moktada al Sadr in Baghdad, and the entrenched and battle-hardened Sunni fighters in Anbar. Casualties on the American side will predictably soar. The slaughter of innocent Iraqis in both places, but particularly in the slums of Baghdad, will also mount, because the way Americans fight is with heavy (and indiscriminate) weapons and aerial bombardment, not hand-to-hand.
