[08:01] {Threei} NVAX
[08:01] {Threei} ANNOUNCES FAVORABLE RESULTS FROM PHASE I/IIA PANDEMIC INFLUENZA VACCINE PROGRAM
[08:02] {Threei} 08/26/08 06:33am
[08:02] {Threei} (RU) Russia reportedly now halting visits by NATO officials as well as joint exercises for at least several months
[08:02] {Threei} - May halt peacekeeping cooperation with NATO for at least six months
[08:02] {Threei} - Russia notes it does not intend to stop cooperating with NATO in Afghanistan for now, but remains under review
[08:02] {Threei} - Russia cancels NATO chief's visit

[08:03] {Threei} Iran OPEC Governor: Market is not balanced, there is oversupply
[08:03] {Threei} * Note that comments are in line with prior comments
[08:03] {Threei} - Group members favor balanced market
[08:12] {Threei} 08/25/08 11:38pm
[08:12] {Threei} (US) Treasury Secretary Paulson: The proposed GSE rescue package will be used as a last resort, will be used to protect the taxpayer - NYT
[08:12] {Threei} - We will be dealing with the housing issue in one way or another for months, maybe years after he leaves office.
[08:12] {Threei} - The biggest part of the crisis will be largely over by year's end.
[08:15] {Threei} OIL PRICE OUTLOOK: THERE ARE THREE GOOD REASONS TO THINK THAT IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR AN OIL PRICE COLLAPSE - EDWARD HADAS AT BUSINESSSPECTATOR
[08:15] {Threei} - "First, demand is still strong. Despite high prices and slowing world growth, the IEA still expects a 1.1% increase in consumption in 2008."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Second, supply seems to be under the suppliers' control. The Saudis, who remain swing producers, have implied they will defend a triple-digit oil price. So far, it looks like they can."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Finally, money is available to pay the current high price. Real interest rates are still negative in most of the world. For most governments in developing countries, growth remains a higher priority than inflation-fighting. True, oil subsidies are slowly being cut. But the credit crunch hasn’t squeezed sufficiently tightly to close oil-buyers’ wallets."
[08:15] {Threei} - "Eventually, the oil price will fall back to, or below, the marginal cost of production, perhaps $50-70 a barrel. But probably not until money is a lot tighter and the global economy is in a lot more trouble.
[08:29] {Threei} FRE
[08:29] {Threei} REPORTS JULY ANNUALIZED GROWTH RATE +9.8%
[08:48] {Threei} SATC

[08:48] {Threei} - CE Solar, the project development arm of Energy 21, will deliver and maintain the solar PV plants beginning in October 2008 with completion in spring 2009.
