...needs to do so to both further refine and develop new drugs. The firm is not cutting back on the essentials for keeping its product mix strong simply because the economy is weak. Amgen expects to bring in $15 billion in revenue this year, about flat with 2008. Amgen has several products in trials and some show enough promise to help push new product revenue up significantly over the next two or three years. Amgen has almost $10 billion in cash and every reason to push for market share while large drug companies are on the ropes...
...series of photographs of the John Hancock Tower, taken from the MIT Boathouse, are merely flat, frontal views of the building. The pictures present the same, grid-like, glass-windowed Tower; the only noticeable difference is that they are taken with different lighting. The sole creative element of these large, vertically oriented photographs is how they are reminiscent of Monet’s paintings of cathedrals at various times of the day.

And with the mining industry now flat on its back as the global recession deepens, it's unlikely Canberra will go out of its way to insult the only people around who have some money left in their pockets - and the willingness to spend...
...liners in the all-male Parthenon-era performance to pokes at a capella groups, and the jokes flow unhindered by the cringeworthy jabs that have plagued past HPT performances. But even if Pitches ain’t shit, HPT’s jokes aren’t above falling flat themselves at times. Thankfully, the cast’s rapid-fire, 60-jokes-a-minute barrage keeps the show moving; it’s rare that two duds are ever released in a row. Awkward silences don’t last long, and each of the characters carries an arsenal...
