...ensure that London would be the jurisdiction for any court proceedings with BVG. That move possibly suggests that J.P. Morgan is preparing a claim against BVG. Reetz, the BVG spokeswoman, says the transportation company learned of the J.P. Morgan filing last week when BVG filed to have a trial in Berlin should there be one. "So far, no one has come forward with any demands for payment. But if they do, we will fight them in court. And we want to do that in Berlin, in our own language." says Reetz...
...chose the Zulu war anthem, "Bring Me My Machine Gun" as a theme song - and about his competence and judgment. He refuses to answer questions on policy, deferring instead to the ANC's executive committee. His coyness may be wise: those opinions he has aired have been startling. On trial for rape in 2006, a charge of which he was acquitted, he revealed he thought a shower could prevent HIV infection. Among his supporters, all that only adds to his appeal: Zuma has a populist following in the townships where his earthiness contrasts well with the élitism of Mbeki...
...drug company Medivation, for which Sawyers is a paid consultant, chose MDV3100 to test in a clinical trial. In initial studies, 30 patients who had drug-resistant prostate cancer were given doses of MDV3100. Twenty-two showed a sustained reduction in their blood levels of prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, a protein that is elevated in the presence of prostate cancer; in 13 of those 22, the decline was more than 50%. That Phase 2 trial is ongoing, but the drug has shown enough promise to prompt the Food and Drug Administration to grant Medivation permission for a large-scale...
...That trial - needed before MDV3100 can be approved for use in humans - will take several years. In the meantime, there are still questions to be explored, including why the drug had little effect in eight of the subjects in the early clinical trial. Sawyers' team is working on an answer. It's possible that the drug may have to be given in larger doses to some patients or that some prostate cancers may mutate to the point where antiandrogen drugs are simply ineffective. "There could be changes that are preventing the drug from binding," he says...
...exile in Japan, after a $1 billion corruption and embezzlement scandal involving Montesinos and other close advisers had unraveled his government. He returned to South America in 2005, hoping, incredibly, to take part in Peru's 2006 presidential race, but he was arrested in Chile and handed over for trial in Peru two years later. A Peruvian court in 2007 convicted Fujimori on corruption charges, while illegal wiretapping charges are still pending. (He has pleaded not guilty to those...
