The battle of the badge
Since it first opened its doors on a fine October day in 1932, not much has interrupted the steady endeavour of staff and pupils at St Joseph's College. The only real threat to the highly successful, oversubscribed grammar school was the Nazis: at the onset of the Second World War, German bombs, intended for the nearby Michelin tyre factory, fell dangerously close. Your View: Should parents have more choice over their children's schools? Schools failing to nurture gifted children But this year, Roisin Maguire, the head teacher, fears council officials may succeed where the Luftwaffe failed.

ZymoGenetics, Merck Serono Receive FDA Protocol Assessment For ...
ZymoGenetics, Merck Serono have reached agreement with FDA on a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) to conduct a pivotal clinical trial with the investigational new drug atacicept for the treatment of patients with lupus nephritis. This is one of two clinical studies intended to form part of the application for marketing authorization.The randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled multi-center clinical trial will be conducted at sites in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Approximately 200 patients with active lupus nephritis will be enrolled in this trial, aimed at demonstrating the efficacy and safety of atacicept as compared to placebo."Together with Merck Serono, we concluded that an SPA provided the clearest path to ensure that this trial will support the application for atacicept marketing authorization," said Nicole Onetto, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer.
Graham Taylor concerned about Fabio Capello
Surely a major appeal of international football is that you should only be able to call upon those of your own nation. When, or if, Brazil, Germany, Italy, France, Argentina and Holland start to regularly appoint foreigners to manage their national teams, then I will be able to understand and accept more readily why we are doing so. Who would have thought that the formation of the Premier League, supported so strongly by the FA in 1992, would have led to there being no English manager deemed capable of commanding the national team? .
