Water, water, everywhere! Jack n Jill and Ellen too, went up to fetch some water. Ellen had a story about why she was interested in water. Look under the cover and see what two of the three are doing. Xoma has agreements with both, I believe. Does that mean that if you look carefully, under the cover, you will find a threesome. Don't know. No need to disregard the above, Bob, just use your great imagination. <g> biz.yahoo.com

Bob if you think the following inquiry is a big deal wait and see if there is an inquiry of why total death number required in Meningo. trial! Read and reread last paragraph. February 11 1999 BRITAIN Meningitis town to have inquiry BY SIMON DE BRUXELLES, WEST OF ENGLAND CORRESPONDENT AN INQUIRY was ordered yesterday into the handling of the meningitis outbreak in South Wales, which has killed three people. Jon Owen Jones, the Welsh Office Health Minister, bowed to pressure from parents concerned about the spread of the disease, which has struck 11 people in the town of Pontypridd. Mr Jones said he was asking a hastily convened study group to report as soon as possible. He said that Ruth Hall, the Chief Medical Officer of Wales, would nominate individuals with appropriate experience and knowledge. The group will be chaired by Ian Cameron, Provost and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wales College of Medicine. There have been 56 cases of meningitis in Wales so far this year compared with 32 in the whole of 1998. The move follows concern over the delay in giving treatment to pupils at Coedylan Comprehensive School in Pontypridd. Vaccinations were not given until nine days after the death of Gareth Gould, 15. Parents claim that the delay may have allowed seven other children to develop the illness and put others at risk. Medical experts contend that as the vast majority of meningitis cases are isolated would be wrong simply to dispense powerful antibiotics to everyone with whom they might have been in contact. More than 1,700 pupils and staff at three schools attended by the victims of the Pontypridd outbreak have been vaccinated. But parents of Cardinal Newman Comprehensive pupils are angry that their children have not been offered treatment after the death of Lynne James, 55, a popular home economics teacher. The Bro-Taf health authority says it has been unable to find any link between Mrs James's illness and the other victims and that it is treating it as an "isolated" infection. But it was disclosed yesterday that Joyce Davies, 66, who died on January 30, has grandchildren at the school where Mrs James taught.

Bob, I have a weak heart but can I invest until I have my first heart attack? Talk about the chicken in the broiler, Murphy spoke at great length about Xoma on the hotline tonight! I would bet he will really continue talking it up in the near future also. Murphy is back on my good side since I made a killing recently on his LSI logic recommendation. After Xoma it is going to be Hitech for me from now on mostly and leave the biotechs to the brainy folks with strong hearts like yourself.
