As we begin 2008, we are a stronger, leaner organization that will devote all of our resources to the discovery and continued development of antiviral drugs for the treatment of HCV and HIV." Financial Results For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, Idenix reported total revenues of $12.6 million, compared with total revenues of $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 consisted primarily of reimbursement by Novartis of expenses incurred by Idenix in connection with the development of Tyzeka(R)/Sebivo(R), the amortization of up front fees associated with development programs licensed by Novartis, and royalties associated with worldwide sales of Tyzeka/Sebivo. The $2.7 million reduction in total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 is due primarily to lower development expenses associated with licensed programs and subsequent reimbursement of such expenses by Novartis.
BA unveils its new Heathrow terminal
Unmanned check-in kiosks can also screen a passenger's passport or scan a visa. First-class and business lounges are unusually spacious, have a spa and are luxuriously furnished with chandeliers, wine racks and, in one, even a cinema. There are no fast food restaurants in the new terminal but it does offer a Tiffany's jeweler and a Prada store. The main terminal is 99 percent complete; workers in hardhats could still be seen putting on the finishing touches while stores were being stocked with goods. Terminal 5's completion shows how hard cities such as London are willing to work to maintain their status as world business and tourist hubs, commissioning showcase structures that act as shopping malls with art galleries, spas and Internet access. Terminals can be profitable in an era of tightened security, as travelers show up hours before their flights -- and then shop or eat while waiting to take off.
Top Iraq contractor skirts US taxes offshore
They never explained it to us," said Arthur Faust, 57, who got a job loading convoys in Iraq in 2004 after putting his resume on KBRcareers.com and going to orientation with KBR officials in Houston. But there is one circumstance in which KBR does claim the workers as its own: when it comes to receiving the legal immunity extended to employers working in Iraq. In one previously unreported case, a group of Service Employers International workers accused KBR of knowingly exposing them to cancer-causing chemicals at an Iraqi water treatment plant. Under the Defense Base Act of 1941, a federal workers compensation law, employers working with the military have immunity in most cases from such employee lawsuits. So when KBR lawyers argued that the workers were KBR employees, lawyers for the men objected; the case remains in arbitration.
Nobles & Knaves
Shanon, a professor of "cognitive philosophy," told Israel Radio on Tuesday.
Someone please enroll Mr. Shanon in a research methods course. At minimum, show him that "I don't believe" is a poor evidentiary standard outside the Department of Smart-Alecky Term Papers.
For purporting to instruct others about Scripture while also failing the most basic rules of evidence, Mr. Shanon is the Knave of the Week.
