John Smallwood | Nova's kids are getting older with each game
I know they are going to be good, but you've got to do it. You've got to prove it. I think they learned a lot from the DePaul game [84-76 loss], and they are going to learn a lot from this game." Obviously, the second game of an 18-game Big East schedule isn't going to be a deal maker or breaker. Even if the 17th-ranked Wildcats (11-2, 1-1) had lost, there would be plenty of time to recover. "Even if we would've lost, we came out and competed," Wright said. "I didn't think we competed against DePaul the way we are capable of. "[Had we lost to Pitt] I would've been OK because we competed against a very good Big East team." Still, this was a huge early win. Pittsburgh (12-2, 0-1, No. 13) joined 'Nova as one of four Big East teams that went into the weekend ranked in the Top 17 - a high among conferences.
Supplemental New Drug Application for PREZISTA(TM) Submitted to U.S ...
YARDLEY, Pa., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Tibotec, Inc. today announced it has submitted a Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the protease inhibitor (PI) PREZISTA(TM) (darunavir) tablets, which seeks traditional approval and an expanded indication to include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected, treatment-naive adults. The application includes 48-week data from two Phase 3 studies, ARTEMIS and TITAN, which were presented at HIV conferences earlier this year, as well as 96-week data from the Phase 2b studies, POWER 1, 2, and 3. PREZISTA received accelerated approval in June 2006 based on the 24-week analysis of HIV viral load and CD4+ cell counts from the pooled analysis of the TMC114-C213 (POWER 1) and TMC114-C202 (POWER 2) Phase 2b studies.
Comcast holds the line on Big Ten
Hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake for college athletic programs. Comcast says that if the Big Ten makes its network a success, other college sports conferences could launch copycat 24-hour networks, driving up programming costs. The dispute vividly illustrates the Economics 101 concept of the market power that Comcast wields thanks to its control over the television programming flowing into one out of every five U.S. households. It can make or break a national network. It also strikes at a simmering point in the cable industry. Cable companies sell bundles of channels to customers; some experts think they should sell individual channels, the so-called "a la carte" option. "There's a lot of pie on the table," said Stephen Ross, a law professor and director of the Penn State Institute for Sports Law Policy and Research in State College.
