While You Were Coming Back

Posted on 02:45 by Unknown
It would be wrong for us not to mention the Red Sox in this space, the Boston nine having completed their three-game comback victory over the Tribe last night (sorry, Steve). There are a few contributors to this page that despite seeming to be upstanding citizens in most other respects actually cheer for the Sox. Probably some of you dear readers too. So there you have it. Congratulations.

So what did you miss while your favorite baseball/football/rugby/formula one team was golfing/losing ugly/coming up short against South Africa/driving really slowly?
  • Cancer rates may be declining in the US, says the American Cancer Society, but as the New York Times reports, rates of certain cancers are increasing. Why?

  • The Times laments the loss of Cambridge Antibody Technology, the name anyway, in the wake of AstraZeneca's MedImmune integration.
  • Kirin Brewery has settled on the terms of its offer for a stake in Japanese drug company Kyowa Hakko Kogyo. Kirin aims to take a nearly 28% stake in KHK in a deal valued at roughly $2.6 billion.
  • Two days left to guess which big biotech will be the next pharma takeout target. Check out our poll in the upper-left hand corner of the blog.
