Bob is Chairman, President and CEO, Justin, you all know, it is Vice President, Investor Relations. So, Bob?ROBERT ESSNER, Chairman, President, CEO, Wyeth: Thank you, Scott, and good morning to everyone. It is a pleasure to be here so that you fall a little earlier verification of Wyeth and where we are today, and the progress we have made so far this year and a few of our prospects profits for the remainder of the year and also for the future. It is precisely to recall that a number of things I say today, of course, is focused on future reports, and I’ll remind you, this report, which described. Until now, in the first half of the year, Wyeth became a successful start-up, with a turnover in double figures in all three of our businesses. I think in SG & A of the line, we do a good job to keep our costs under control to lose, but not our market presence and our R & D is up 10 percent, and that is a trend that we assume that, in at least the plan for the years to come, like many objects that we now have at the end of the stage from conception to completion. Our EPS the first half of the year rose by 5 per cent, but we believe we are on track today for our old line of $ 2.60 to $ 2.70 cents per share for 2004 . The growth of our business is much more supplies today by a few large and very attractive product and expenditure, I’ll be a little time for you only aware of everything and each of these five. Effexor is now our primary product with a turnover should be more than $ 3 billion this year. As you all know, the antidepressant the U.S. market was a little on the point now where the overall growth of pocket is relatively flat. The causes of the, probably several, but there is a comparison with the increasing load factor, we saw after 9 / 11, which has significantly slowed. And I think, more than anything else, the negative publicity on the latest trends suicidal young adolescents who, although not all relevant or particularly relevant to the use of Effexor, has something of a cloud, I think on the whole category and reduce the total amount of rules for antidepressants today. Outside the USA, our company to be even stronger than in the States. And today, a number of Effexor antidepressant sales outside the USA. And we worked very hard for this state very well against some competitors in the world. We expect that category to the extent that it is past rebound that we will see better prescription growth for the category as a whole and we believe that Effexor in the future is even more than their fair share of this increase in The category growth. Enbrel, as you know, is a medicine absolutely remarkable that we have in common with the USA Amgen, but only outside the USA. We now have the opportunity to see how Enbrel, in a market where it and its competitors are relatively complete delivery, and we are pleased, very happy to say that we are more convinced than ever that Enbrel is a leader in the category this class . As you know, we (inaudible) psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis is now the USA, and we hope they will be approved in Europe this year. And we see a pleasant dip in the dermatologist to prescribe Enbrel. We are on the target system to achieve.

An American tragedy Katrina’s legal and economic consequences

The bidding has already begun the reconstruction of New Orleans and in the affected areas of Mississippi. Ah, they also insurance and other potential litigation, other actions. Next Alert™ has asked the two leading experts on emergency planning and management as well as business interruption and recreation, damage assessment and advice, what should be done now, as that preparation for the next disaster.Barry Scanlon is a partner of James Lee Witt Associates (JLWA), advises clients on public safety and crisis management. He was Director of Corporate Affairs Corporate Outreach and officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “Project Impact” the initiative of President Clinton.

Shots in the dark

I was walking back to my room in Alexandria, Virginia, after a wedding Saturday evening, ask empty, if the snipers could call one of my students to take advantage of me. I would have an easy target, especially in front of the hotel.Instead, he was elected pocket some poor fellows come from a Ponderosa restaurant Around the same time. It is the adoption, it is not Copycat shooting, frankly, it is surprising that our recent Folk anti-hero is not inspire imitators.

But as he had the bad taste to save me, let us note some important points about our society, that the phenomenon shows snipers and the mainstream media are ignored.

Firstly, the police could be much closer to Fang’s Killer, if we had a national database of ballistics strengthen the capacity of its weapons. Rifles have a unique “fingerprint” left boxes Shell. Record keeping of them would not be more difficult than that of humans records fingerprints, especially in an era of the computer.

But several occasions Congress has refused to implement and not on it now. Why? Simply because the National Rifle Association and its allies are determined to prevent. The gun nuts not only do not want any restriction of personal weapons of mass destruction, they want the government able to discover a.

In a fair, it is not because the roots of psychos as Sniper. That’s because many of them really think they can fight at any given time, a guerrilla war against their own government to defend. Others fear that a “communist” government could, if it is a list of possession of pistols, to decide their weapons away.

We leave this paranoia through the police services and for two reasons: money and power. Given that the NRA has a lot of money and is also good in the lobbying practice he always gaining ground.

Worse yet, Sane and human dignity were largely abandoned, even tried to elephants. Long ago, most “practical” political calm that accepts any type of weapon is not reasonable, and thus not try.

The situation as a fact that is exactly the same as it was with civil rights for many years, until the early 1960’s. Moderate and liberal everywhere hated the fact that millions of blacks were gelyncht, humiliated, and not even treated as citizens in the south. This has been extremely effective political propaganda for our enemies abroad. But good people have every reason to believe that nothing could ever change, that the federal government could never do it judiciously, as racists, with age and service Filibuster, a handful of iron U.S. Senate.
