The global anti-infective market is currently valued at US$66.5 billion with antibacterial agents accounting for over 50% of sales. The antibacterial market is set to grow to over US$45.0 billion by 2012, driven by the uptake of newer antibacterial agents such as glycopeptides and carbapenems which demonstrate resistance to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) as well as other emerging strains. .
'Sidelining the paper'
The apparent policy of silencing the critics even saw Watford close down their own website forum for fans and, at one stage, trying to change the spokesman for the Supporters Trust because he (Pete Fincham) was critical of some club decisions. Yes, times have changed. There used to be a couple of local newspapers and a brace of radio stations following the Hornets. Readers would make their views known, providing their names and addresses. Now it is websites, mailing lists and a scramble for morsels of news on all things football. Agents plant stories, fans write strident criticisms protected by the anonymity of nom de plumes. Add to this a plethora of club press releases, some of which make you dizzy upon reading because they contain so much spin - "The Daily Goebbels" as one Watford press officer described it.

Tassie basks in $15m cruise boom
A RECORD cruise ship season in Tasmania will bring a predicted $15 million tourism windfall for the state, more than double last year's figure. The eighth cruise ship of the season, the Mercury, arrives on Friday. There will be 47 vessel-visits at eight ports statewide, 26 of them calling at Hobart. It is estimated the ships will bring a total of nearly 100,000 visitors statewide. Tasmanian Ports Corporation marketing executive manager Charles Scarafiotti said the annual cruise ship season had experienced "extremely healthy growth" in recent years. "We started working on this industry 10 years ago -- then it was the Marine Board -- then Hobart Ports took the lead in marketing the state to cruise ships and in a decade it has grown substantially," he said. "Part of our marketing with the cruise ships has been to sell the destination and, in doing that, we have created a coastal cruising itinerary." Visits are being made to islands, as well as popular cruise stops such as Port Arthur, Wineglass Bay and Coles Bay.

Can Litmanen be Fulham's Dugarry or Djorkaeff?
Christophe Dugarry, once of AC Milan and Barcelona and a World Cup winner with France in 1998, looked to be winding down his career during a second spell at Bordeaux before a move to Birmingham City in January 2003.
Although he netted only 5 times in 16 games for Blues, his quality brought out the best in his new team-mates and Steve Bruce's side moved clear of the drop zone.
"It is the biggest signing this club has ever made," said Bruce at the time and it certainly paid off although Dugarry faded the following season and was released to sign a lucrative contract in Qatar.
Dugarry's compatriot Youri Djorkaeff, also part of the France squad in 1998, was well past his 30th birthday when he pitched up at Bolton Wanderers in February 2002.
After a disappointing spell at Kaiserslautern, Djorkaeff had been dropped from the French national team and must have thought his career at the top was over.
