For many years the archive profession in the United Kingdom has tended to view highly structured cataloguing rules as a constraint, redundant in the light of the unique material with which it deals. Times are changing however and, with the advent of three new standards over the past six years, archivists are beginning to recognise that, far from being the straitjacket they had previously imagined, such standards do in fact provide the key to freedom in the brave new world of information technology opportunities.

First and foremost, I welcome the move to establish a new Supreme Court for the United Kingdom, separate from the House of Lords. I have favoured this for years, and I regard the Government's proposals as a real step forward. It is a piece of long-unfinished business nearly achieved by the mighty reformers of 1873-75. Their shades must rejoice to see it at last being tackled. All my other comments hereafter should be seen in that positive context.

Agriculture continues to maintain a very high profile in the Community, notwithstanding calls that the sector should occupy a place commensurate with its overall contribution to the economy. Such calls grew yet stronger during the United Kingdom Presidency from July to December 2005. Indeed, shortly before the United Kingdom assumed the Presidency, Tony Blair stated that [i]t simply does not make sense, in this new world, for Europe to spend over 40 per cent of its budget on the common agricultural policy, representing 5 per cent. of the EU population producing less than 2 percent. of Europe's output.’1 In similar vein, there has been trenchant criticism of the extent to which agriculture has dominated the Doha Development Round negotiations under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (‘WTO’). For example, Commissioner Mandelson has expressed ‘a real fear that a continuing overnegotiation and overbidding in agriculture will stymite the progress we urgently need to demonstrate across the range of the talks’.2

This industry paper looks at the broadcasting industry, how its revenue streams are changing and how this will affect the future of free-to-air services. Its premise is that, increasingly, consumers will purchase services rather than goods, and that their attention will become more and more valuable. If existing broadcasters want to remain relevant, they need to make sure that their content is accessible to consumers in the new world

Phylogenetic analyses of bartonella have suggested divergence between bartonellae that infect mammals native to the Old and New Worlds. We characterized bartonella isolated from Eastern grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) in the United States and from grey and red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in the United Kingdom by nucleotide sequence comparison (gltA and groEL). Isolates from grey squirrels in the United States and the United Kingdom were identical, and most similar to Bartonella vinsonii, a species associated with New World rodents. A single and novel bartonella genotype was obtained from all 12 red squirrel isolates. Although grey squirrels were first introduced into the United Kingdom over 125 years ago, they continue to be infected solely by the bartonella associated with grey squirrels native to the United States. These results illustrate that exotic species may be accompanied by the introduction and maintenance, over many generations, of their microparasites.
