- "Iceland
woos America with lamb and skyr." ... "Fermented
shark should probably go. Same with beefy hunks of whale meat and lamb
smoked over dried sheep dung." ... "And you don't have to be a marketing
wizard to guess that dense strips of smoked puffin won't sell well in a
nation where stuffed versions of the seabird nest in children's bedrooms."
... "Still, that leaves plenty of food that might be attractive. Fishermen
pull tons of pristine cod from North Atlantic waters every year, selling
it fresh or preserved with salt. Icelandic lamb has never eaten a mouthful
of grain or seen a syringe of antibiotics. The country's butter is deeply
yellow with a high fat content, produced from cows with a pure lineage
that can be traced back to Norwegian Viking herds." ... "The trick is finding
a way to sell it to America's food elite. A group of Icelandic agricultural
and tourism officials think they've found the angle in a clunky but straightforward
slogan: "Sustainable Iceland since 874."" -By Kim

- "Group:
Chad, Bangladesh are most corrupt." ... "Bangladesh
and Chad were ranked most corrupt on a global watchdog group's annual list
of corruption levels in 159 nations, released Tuesday. At the other end
of the scale, Iceland was ranked least corrupt." ... "To form its annual
corruption index, Transparency International asked businessmen, academics
and public officials about how countries they live in or do business with
are perceived." ... "On a scale of one to 10, Bangladesh and Chad both
scored 1.7, meaning that graft is perceived as being rampant. The least
corrupt country, Iceland, scored 9.7." -By Emily Behlmann

- "UPDATE
1-Alpharma selling generics to Actavis for $810 mln."
... "Alpharma Inc. (ALO.N: Quote,
Profile,
Research)
on Monday said it was getting out of the generic drugs business by selling
its largest division to Iceland-based Actavis Group (ACT.IC: Quote,
Profile,
Research)
for $810 million in cash, sending Alpharma shares 4 percent higher." ...
"The purchase bolsters acquisitive Actavis's generic drug business in the
United States. Actavis leaped into the U.S. generics market in May when
it agreed to pay more than $500 million in cash for privately held Amide
Pharmaceutical Inc. of Little Falls, New Jersey."

- "State
Department Noon Briefing Transcript [List of the 30 Nations Supporting
US Disarmament of Iraq]." ... "BRIEFER: Richard
Boucher, Spokesman." ... "MR. BOUCHER: There are 30 countries who have
agreed to be part of the coalition for the immediate disarmament of Iraq.
I'd have to say these are countries that we have gone to and said, "Do
you want to be listed?" and they have said, "Yes."" ... "They are: Afghanistan,
Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark,
El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Italy,
Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua,
the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom,
and Uzbekistan." ... "In addition to these countries, there are actually
another 15 or so that we know of, probably more than 15, that are cooperating
with us in -- and the coalition, or perhaps offering defensive assets in
the event that Saddam resorts to the use of weapons of mass destruction."
