...Quite a bit would have to go wrong before it came to that. Even if the virus, H5N1, mutates into a strain that can jump from person to person, it's not inevitable that it will make it into Australia from Southeast Asia, says CMO Horvath, chairman of the National Influenza Pandemic Action Committee (NIPAC). It's likely the first cases of person-to-person transmission in Asia would occur in clusters, where local authorities, working alongside the World Health Organization and AusAID, would try to contain the virus by quarantining the sick and giving them - and those...
...then, however, a carrier might have slipped into the country, at which point the challenge for Australian authorities would start in earnest. Theoretically, Horvath could assume extraordinary powers by invoking the Quarantine Act. But the CMO says he would advise government leaders on closing schools and canceling sporting events in an attempt to control the virus' spread, and on distributing antivirals from the country's stockpile of 4 million doses. That sounds like a lot of antivirals - and per capita only Finland has more - but it would be "woefully inadequate" if the bug were rampant, says Peter Curson, director...

They also provide "content management," maintaining databases of clients' translated material so that only the updates are sent out for conversion. That saves clients money. And, says BGS CMO Plumley, "it's what provides consistency and speed...
...that Paul had ever spent. The pilgrimage began shortly after 5 in the morning-after midnight New York time-when Paul, with an entourage that included seven cardinals, a dozen other papal aides, and 60 newsmen and photographers, boarded a chartered Alitalia DC-8 at Rome's Fiumi-cmo Airport. On the nine-hour flight Paul slept only a little, played the considerate host. He left his isolated forward cabin twice to visit the newsmen, handed out commemorative medals,' amiably posed for pictures and answered some questions. "I know you are a bad air traveler and prefer...
